n

nThe entire Northern Kingdom was different after the rain of blood.

n

nLi Yuanqing, who was in the Land of War, finally stood up. The endless energy in his body made him let out a long roar. The roar was rumbling like a bolt from the blue. When everyone in the Land of War heard that voice, they could not help but shiver. Some martial artists even trembled and felt a chill run down their backs.

n

nWhen the birds, insects, and low-level vicious beasts hiding in the Land of War heard the sound, some of them fled in panic towards the place they felt was safe. The rumbling sound just now was really terrifying to them. Their instincts told them to quickly find a place to hide. Because this was the only way to feel a little safer.

n

nThose demons who wanted to escape from the catacomb also heard Li Yuanqing’s long cry. Some of their legs went limp and they almost fell to the ground. They were so frightened that they did not dare to make a sound and quietly escaped into the depths of the catacomb. Because the sound outside gave these demons too much pressure. It made them feel inexplicably afraid.

n

n“What’s going on outside? How could this happen after the blood rain? Could it be that something has happened in the world?”

n

nIn the Northern Kingdom’s camp in the Land of War, Wang Xian looked at the place where the voice came from in surprise. He felt inexplicably flustered when he heard the voice.

n

nThis voice was like a huge pressure that made him unable to breathe. He even felt like kneeling down to worship. This feeling was like facing a god or kneeling down to worship his ancestors in the Wang Clan’s ancestral hall a long time ago.

n

nIt had been many years since he had felt such immense pressure, especially now that Wang Xian had already used the help of this blood rain to easily break through to the second-grade Grotto-Heaven Realm.

n

nAlthough he was not the strongest presence in the camp, he was the dean of all the Martial Arts Academies in the Northern Kingdom. Therefore, his prestige was very high.

n

n“Dean Wang, I really don’t know what that sound is. Do you want our people to check it out?”

n

nNorth Star had actually easily broken through to the Martial Saint Grotto-Heaven Realm with the help of the blood rain this time. This made him overjoyed. Black Iron was not bad either. He had also become a Martial Saint. The two of them could be considered the first batch of students with the highest achievements in the Martial Arts Academy.

n

nOf course, they were no longer students now. They had become Dean Wang’s assistants and Martial Masters of the Martial Arts Academy who specialized in teaching students. They would nurture batches of powerful martial artists for the Northern Kingdom.

n

n“There’s no need. After the strength of the human martial artists in the blood rain has increased greatly, we have to take the opportunity to surround and attack those demons who have escaped. We have to think of a way to shrink the scope of the Land of War. This is the most important thing now!”

n

n“I’ll just take a look!”

n

nWang Xian did not know that it was Li Yuanqing who made that sound, and he was the biggest beneficiary of this blood rain.

n

nHe had broken through two realms in a row, from the Grotto-Heaven Realm to the Spirit Transformation Realm. When he entered the Spirit Transformation Realm, he was also called a Human God!

n

nIn the eyes of ordinary people, Human Gods could travel thousands of miles in a day, ride the wind, and have countless methods and illusions.

n

nAt this moment, Li Yuanqing was in the Spirit Transformation realm. His loud laughter could make all living beings tremble. It seems that he was invincible in the Northern Kingdom. This made him, who had always cherished his life and was cautious, finally heave a sigh of relief.

n

nNow, he didn’t have to hide in one place anymore. Li Yuanqing decided to travel the world. The first thing he wanted to do after entering the Spirit Transformation Realm was to enter the catacombs to take a look.

n

nYu Fu had once described the catacombs to him. In that place, night seemed to be much longer than day. Furthermore, when night fell, danger would truly descend. However, it was relatively safe during the day.

n

nThe cultivation technique that Yu Fu had obtained to devour living people was actually obtained from the catacombs. With more and more spiritual energy in the human world, more and more demons would escape from the catacombs.

n

nLi Yuanqing wanted to know what had happened in the catacombs.

n

nWas there any way to get human martial artists to chase the demons back to the catacombs and use the catacombs as a training ground? Moreover, Li Yuanqing had yet to fully understand this world after he came here. He wanted to see if there was a possibility of returning home. Or perhaps, return to the Earth of his previous life?

n

nThis was a secret that had always been buried in his heart. He had never told anyone about it. When he was weak, he did not dare to think about it.

n

nHowever, Li Yuanqing decided to explore the catacombs first after he entered the Spirit Transformation realm before wandering around the human world. He wanted to cultivate step by step.

n

nFrom the first to the ninth grades of the Spirit Transformation Realm, each grade represented a different realm and strength. Although he had become a first-grade Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator and became a Human God in the hearts of people, he wanted to go to the catacombs to take a look.

n

nHowever, he still had a few things to arrange before going to the catacombs.

n

nThe first was the safety of Zhaoyang from the Northern Kingdom. Although he had told Zhaoyang that he would try his best to stay out of the affairs of the Northern Kingdom and let them fend for itself,

n

nLi Yuanqing wanted to leave a trump card for Zhaoyang as the Northern Kingdom’s territory was getting wider and wider.

n

nAfter the rain of blood, the spiritual energy in the entire Northern Kingdom became denser and denser. In the Imperial City, Zhaoyang would occasionally hear ministers reporting.

n

nIt was said that another natural treasure that was extremely beneficial to cultivators was found. He had already obtained it and given it to Her Majesty.

n

nThere were also people who would report that in a certain mountain range in the Northern Kingdom, they had discovered mutated vicious beasts harassing the local citizens and had already bitten dozens of people to death. They hoped that Her Majesty would send an army to encircle and annihilate them.

n

nThere was also a certain low-lying area that turned into a lake overnight. Everyone in the village had cultivation. The strongest village chief was already a Martial Saint. They wanted the Northern Kingdom to send someone to settle them down.

n

nThese were all changes after the recovery of the spiritual energy in the Northern Kingdom. Just as Zhaoyang was dealing with these things, she suddenly felt light shining outside the throne room.

n

nWhen she walked out of the hall, she was surprised to see a huge figure appear above the Imperial City.

n

nUnder the illumination of the sun, that figure was like a god, standing in midair and looking down from above. The entire Imperial City was in an uproar as everyone walked out. They looked up at the sky. It was like seeing a true god as they prostrated and kowtow to the golden body.

n

n“Big Brother?” Only Zhaoyang cried out in surprise. She never expected that her brother, who had always been cautious, would one day appear in front of everyone. Moreover, he was so high-profile. His golden body made Zhaoyang overjoyed.

n

n“Human God, Spirit Transformation Realm. Big Brother is actually at the Spirit Transformation Realm. There haven’t been any Human Gods in this land for thousands of years…”

n

nZhaoyang was extremely excited. She kneeled towards her big brother without hesitation while the courtiers behind her were all stunned. Then, they were overjoyed. They followed Great Empress Zhaoyang and hurriedly knelt down. Wang Xian, who was standing behind Zhaoyang, was also extremely excited.

n

nLi Yuanqing, who was once the Crown Prince and had once spared his life, actually became a Human God? It was really unimaginable that a Human God would appear in the Northern Kingdom one day.

n

nThis was a symbol of the rise of a country. Even if he didn’t do anything and just accepted the worship of everyone, it would be an invisible pressure that would make all the experts in the world revere him.

n

nThe spiritual energy had already recovered and countless martial artists had appeared. It had also become easier for them to cultivate. Martial Saints were no longer as rare as they were thirty years ago.

n

nIt was also unlike a hundred years ago when a Martial Saint could support a country and become the founding ancestor of a country, just like the ancestor of the Northern Kingdom.

n

nAt that time, he did not dare to imagine that the Northern Kingdom would produce an expert at the Spirit Transformation Realm.

n

nOne had to know that the Old Ancestor of the Yufu Mountain was once so powerful that he looked down on all living beings and was known to be an invincible existence in the Grotto-Heaven Realm. In the end, he still did not cross the Spirit Transformation Realm and become a Human God.

n

n“Human God. The Great Empress’s elder brother is actually a Human God!”

n

nSome ministers seemed to have recognized Li Yuanqing as well. They exclaimed and knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads. The ecstasy in their hearts was indescribable. No wonder Great Empress Zhaoyang could sit firmly in the position of the Great Empress as a princess.

n

nHer big brother was a Human God!

n

nEven if she was a piece of trash, she could still become the Great Empress. She might even have more power than this. Furthermore, the Great Empress also had some tricks up her sleeve. It could only be said that the Northern Kingdom would become stronger and stronger in the future.

n

nNo one dared to fight against the Northern Kingdom before there was a new Human God. No wonder the Yufu Kingdom instantly collapsed and was willing to surrender. To dare to fight the Northern Kingdom, which has a Human God, was simply courting death!

n

nLi Yuanqing also saw Zhaoyang and nodded at her with a smile. The entire Imperial City erupted in cheers. Countless people knelt down and looked up at Li Yuanqing with tears streaming down their faces.

n

nOnly now did these people know that the guardian of the Northern Kingdom had finally become a Human God after the blood rain.

n

nThe Northern Kingdom would not be threatened for at least a hundred years. The martial artists and commoners of the Northern Kingdom would no longer have to bow down to anyone for peace. The Human God of the Northern Kingdom was their greatest confidence.

n

n“Big Brother, the entire Northern Kingdom will celebrate for seven days and accept congratulations from all sides in order to celebrate the guardian of the Northern Kingdom becoming a Human God!”

n

nZhaoyang looked at her big brother who was smiling. She knew that after he became a Human God, he would no longer hide in the Wilderness Valley like before. She then thought about what he had once said. In the future, the Northern Kingdom would have to rely on themselves.

n

nTherefore, she immediately took the opportunity to let the world know that the guardian of the Northern Kingdom was a Human God.

n

nMoreover, the entire country was going to celebrate. As expected, everyone cheered after Zhaoyang’s decree. The entire sky was filled with cheers. Some people even started to set off fireworks to celebrate. It was extremely lively everywhere.

n

nThe entire Northern Kingdom fell into a joyous atmosphere. Li Yuanqing was relieved to see that Zhaoyang understood what he meant.

n

nHe came to the palace. The last time he came here was when the late Emperor passed away. In a flash, many years had passed. This time, he finally did not have to suppress himself. Here, he was actually the strongest king. Even Zhaoyang had to be protected by him.

n

n“Yu Fu, stay in the palace in the future and protect Zhaoyang.”

n

n“Understood!” Yu Fu hurriedly knelt down. After seeing Li Yuanqing become a Human God, he did not dare to be disloyal. Moreover, Li Yuanqing was too generous. It was best for him to follow this person!

n

nIt was simple for Yu Fu to protect Great Empress Zhaoyang.

n

n“The Little Ba Serpent is in the Wilderness, Cow is in the small valley. I’ll leave for a period of time and take Hu Jiujiu with me. Take care of yourself in the remaining days. If the Northern Kingdom is still destroyed at this time, then so be it…”

n

nLi Yuanqing planned to enter the catacombs this time and arrange a backup plan for Zhaoyang. Furthermore, there was also the deterrence of a Human God like him. If the Northern Kingdom were to be destroyed under these circumstances…

n

nLi Yuanqing did not want to say anything else. There was nothing to regret. He had already done his best. He should have his own goals and pursuits in the remaining days. He would go to the catacombs and continue cultivating. He would try to understand this cultivation world.

n

n“Yes! Big Brother, is there anything that you need me to prepare? The Northern Kingdom is yours. As long as you want something, I can use the entire country’s strength to do it for you.”

n

nZhaoyang looked at Li Yuanqing with a clear gaze. In her heart, the Northern Kingdom could be said to be her elder brother’s at any time.

n

n“No need. I don’t value these things. My pursuit is different from yours. Part of me wants to find a place that was once familiar. I want to go home and see…”

n

n“Home? This is your home. Or is it in the Wilderness Valley?” Zhaoyang was a little confused. Of course, she didn’t know where Li Yuanqing’s home was. She thought that his home was in this world, but it wasn’t. It was Li Yuanqing’s home in his previous life.

n

nLi Yuanqing touched Zhaoyang’s soft hair. Yu Fu, who was kneeling on the ground, quietly retreated.

n

nThere was no one in the hall except Li Yuanqing and Zhaoyang. The siblings seemed to be sitting together and looking at the stars in the sky like when they were young. However, when the sky was filled with stars, Li Yuanqing quietly left.

n

nThis time, he had no regrets. When he went to the Catacombs, he only took Hu Jiujiu with him.

n

nHu Jiujiu’s injuries had mostly recovered after the blood rain, but she still maintained her little fox form. She could simply squat on Li Yuanqing’s shoulder and used Li Yuanqing’s strength to speed all the way.

n

nThey were very fast, like a gust of wind. In less than half a day, Li Yuanqing had gone from the Wilderness Valley to the Land of War.

n

nIt had only been a few days since he left the Land of War, but Li Yuanqing could already feel that this place had changed.

n

nThe air was filled with dense spiritual energy. Be it the trees, vegetation, or the wild beasts here, they had all changed. Large trees that were hundreds of meters tall could be seen everywhere. The vines that had fallen onto the tree had become thicker than a human’s body. They swayed on the hundred-meter-tall tree trunk as if they had a life of their own.

n

nThe recovery of spiritual energy was not only beneficial to human martial artists, but also to these plants. Many of them had mutated.

n

nLi Yuanqing walked in the forest. He remembered that before the blood rain, this was still a small forest. It had only been a short while, but the small forest had already become a big forest. Moreover, there seemed to be something in the forest.

n
