Chapter 613 - 283: Secrets of the Long Night Ancient Kingdom (Part 2)

"Husband."

Lu Shiran looked at Li Hengsheng, who was staring at her in a daze, and then spoke.

"Hmm?"

Li Hengsheng snapped back to reality.

"I remember Master said, after the wedding ceremony, two people become legitimate spouses, and they can have children, right?"

Lu Shiran asked earnestly.

"Uh, yes." Li Hengsheng didn't expect Lu Shiran to ask him that kind of question.

"Then what are you waiting for?"

Lu Shiran raised her hand, grabbed Li Hengsheng's collar, and pulled him directly onto the bed.

Li Hengsheng was shocked, not expecting Lu Shiran to be so proactive!

The battle that night was extremely intense.

The clash of two Divine Bodies.

Of course, it wasn't that simple.

But in the end, the Cosmic Star Divine Body was defeated by the Sun and Moon Immortal Demon Divine Body.

With Li Hengsheng's wedding banquet over, the Evergreen Commerce Association also began to expand externally.

This time, the presence of the Evergreen Commerce Association appeared in both the Western Wilderness and the Southern Wilderness. Meanwhile, the recruitment of talent by the Evergreen Commerce Association, handled by Zhao Yichuan, was exceptionally smooth.

Nowadays, who doesn't know the name of Li Changqing.

Therefore, all kinds of people came to join.

However, the selection standards of the Evergreen Commerce Association were also very strict to avoid some unqualified individuals from slipping in.

In less than a year, the Evergreen Commerce Association had established over a hundred branches in the Western Wilderness and the Southern Wilderness.

It can be said that the Evergreen Commerce Association quickly became the largest commerce association in the Cangyuan Realm.

The auction houses and other entertainment places conceived by Li Changqing under the commerce association were also hugely popular and exceptionally successful.

After completing these tasks, Li Changqing further invited some powerful forces and families in the Cangyuan Realm to invest in the Evergreen Commerce Association.

Forces like Guanglan Palace and the Zu Xuan family all invested in the Evergreen Commerce Association, directly linking their interests with it.

This move shocked many people.

As such, the status of the Evergreen Commerce Association became unshakable.

When Monarch Yuehan heard this news, he was furious. When Li Changqing died, he thought he could rest easy, constantly focusing on finding the last One Soul that Li Changqing had hidden, as well as the whereabouts of Li Hengsheng. He never expected that Li Changqing could make a comeback.

Or even reach the realm of the Painting Immortal.

Monarch Yuehan couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

At this moment, Monarch Yuehan regretted not eradicating Li Changqing's entire backing force at the time, resulting in the rapid rise of the Evergreen Commerce Association, even involving some of the nineteen families in Celestial Sea City with the commerce association.

In such a situation, Monarch Yuehan was helpless.

He had no way to leave Celestial Sea City.

Send people to cause trouble for Li Changqing?

Those sent would likely never return.

Even Yue Zhiming, the elder from the Yue family on whom he relied, was severely injured and went into seclusion after being defeated by Li Changqing, and hasn't recovered since.

Not to mention, now Li Changqing didn't even need to act himself, as he had the support of Zu Xuanming, Guang Ancestor, and even Dao Mountain Ancient Land, all aligned with him.

Three Earthly Immortals backing him up.

How could he contend with that?

Monarch Yuehan could only secretly send people to search for the whereabouts of the World Origin Pearl.

Half a month later, a special guest arrived in Changting Town.

They went directly to the Yan family and found Li Changqing.

When Li Changqing saw the visitor, it was for the first time, but he sensed an aura in this person that did not belong to this world.

It felt as if they were transcendent.

"Sorry for the intrusion," the visitor said politely.

"I never expected the Ghost Lord of Qishan to come in person," Li Changqing said with a smile. "Please, have a seat."

"So Brother Changqing knows me," the Ghost Lord of Qishan asked.

"Once aspired to the heavens, I've barely felt this kind of aura," Li Changqing poured a cup of tea for the Ghost Lord of Qishan and said with a smile, "I think in this world, besides the legendary Ghost Lord of Qishan, there should be no one else."

"There is a saying in the world that if the Ghost Lord of Qishan doesn't descend Qishan, then anyone could be the best in the world. Once the Ghost Lord of Qishan descends, then the Ghost Lord of Qishan is the best in the world."

Upon hearing this, the Ghost Lord of Qishan rarely smiled, "It's all just flattery from the world, nothing more."

"I believe it's quite accurate," Li Changqing said seriously, "Once the Ghost Lord descends Qishan, you are the best in the world. At least in this world, I haven't felt anyone reaching your level, and I can even sense that the will of the world is already rejecting you. If I'm not mistaken, it won't be long before you have to leave this world."

"Hmm."

"I've completed my three karmic ties, and I've retrieved the three Qishan Orders, so I am indeed ready to leave," the Ghost Lord of Qishan looked earnestly at Li Changqing and said, "Before leaving, I heard that Li Changqing was unrivaled under heaven, causing disturbances in Celestial Sea City, so I wanted to come and see."

"Having seen it, I am disappointed," Li Changqing wasn't embarrassed, nor did he deny anything. The fact of his absence of cultivation could deceive others, but to deceive a master like the Ghost Lord of Qishan was genuinely impossible.

"If Brother Changqing had a complete soul, naturally you could reach my level," the Ghost Lord of Qishan sighed deeply, having also guessed that Li Changqing probably used some method back then to break through to the Great Freedom realm.

"Did you come today for a reason?"

Li Changqing asked curiously. He didn't believe that someone like the Ghost Lord of Qishan would travel a great distance to Changting Town just to see him.

Because Li Changqing had also heard that the Ghost Lord of Qishan didn't have any ties with anyone, even though he was from the Long Night Ancient Kingdom, after leaving he had no dealings with them, nor did he intervene when the kingdom was destroyed.

"Initially, I came to see Brother Changqing because there was a matter I couldn't let go of and wanted your assistance, but now it seems that it might not work."

The Ghost Lord of Qishan shook his head.

"Go ahead."

Li Changqing said.

"Alright."

The Ghost Lord of Qishan pondered for a moment and then said, "I suppose Brother Changqing has heard that the Long Night Ancient Kingdom once disappeared from history for fifty years, and after fifty years, it reappeared in the Cangyuan Realm."

"Indeed, I have heard of such a tale."

Li Changqing said thoughtfully.

"Do you know where the Long Night Ancient Kingdom went?"

"I don't know."

"To the Immortal Realm," the words of the Ghost Lord of Qishan left Li Changqing greatly shocked. The Long Night Ancient Kingdom disappeared because it went to the Immortal Realm?

"The Long Night Ancient Kingdom itself is a magical treasure," the Ghost Lord of Qishan said solemnly. "In the Immortal Realm, the methods of cultivation differ from those in our Cangyuan Realm. Various schools of thought can be cultivated, not simply the way of understanding through painting, and the Long Night Ancient Kingdom is a type of magical treasure, similar to a Painting Treasure, but its level surpasses the realm of Immortal Treasures."

"This magical treasure was refined by an Immortal, and it disappeared for fifty years due to a war between that Immortal and another Immortal."

"The two battled for decades, and in the end, the Immortal possessing the magical treasure of the Long Night Ancient Kingdom won and suppressed the other Immortal in the Cangyuan Realm, using the Long Night Ancient Kingdom to seal the Immortal, preventing them from emerging."

Hearing this, Li Changqing was greatly shaken inside.

Thus, that Immortal whom the Longevity Sect wanted to resurrect, was the one suppressed by the Long Night Ancient Kingdom.

"The Long Night Ancient Kingdom suppresses eight seals, some of which have already been undone by the Longevity Sect. If the Longevity Sect manages to break all the seals, that Immortal will revive, and then, who knows what catastrophe it will bring to the Cangyuan Realm."

The Ghost Lord of Qishan said gravely.

"An Immortal..."

Li Changqing took a sharp breath. If that Immortal revived, wouldn't the countless beings of the Cangyuan Realm be as insignificant as ants to him?

Their attempts at resistance would probably be utterly insufficient to count for anything.

"Ghost Lord, you wouldn't be able to face that Immortal?" Li Changqing asked.

The Ghost Lord of Qishan pondered for a moment, then said, "I might have the strength to fight."
