Max-Level Learning Ability: Facing The Cliff And Repenting For 80 Years - Chapter 54

Chapter 54: A Changed Human World

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In those ten years, Little Nine was not the only one who felt the change in the World Spiritual Qi. All cultivators above the Ninth Heaven Great Venerable could feel it. The World Spiritual Qi had increased by at least three times compared to ten years ago.

Countless cultivators were celebrating. They were cheering, thinking the world had opened the door to the Saint Plane.

Someone even said, “Judging at the rate of increase in Spiritual Qi, a Saint will definitely descend into the world within these twenty years.”

However, they didn’t know that what they thought was the release of restrictions was actually caused by Li Qingshan’s sword slashes.

For the past ten years, Li Qingshan had been wiping the steles every day, comprehending skills, meditating and comprehending Paths.

The extent of Li Qingshan’s improvement was far beyond the world’s imagination.

He would have long crossed over if not for the world’s restriction to break through to a Saint.

Li Qingshan, who had gathered the skills of Daoist Sects, Buddhist Sects, and the Demonic Sects, was unfathomable.

Three years ago, he began sharpening his sword.

Then, he would slash into the depths of Heaven and Earth every month.

Twelve sword slashes every year. After three years, Li Qingshan had thoroughly understood the ancient formation that imprisoned the Great Path of Heaven and Earth and the Human World Spiritual Qi.

Li Qingshan had also found the gap that the Sword supreme-ruler of the Old Millennium

Calendar had made when he unsheathed his sword.

Therefore, compared to ten years ago, the Human World Spiritual Qi had increased by at least three times because Li Qingshan had been exerting pressure on the ancient formation.

To date, Li Qingshan had some confidence.

But he still needed to wait.

After chatting with Little Nine for a while, Little Nine left the Repentance Cliff because she was busy with work.

Li Qingshan was the only one left on the Repentance Cliff, sipping his tea quietly.

“36 strikes in three years. The momentum of each strike is far stronger than the previous one. It’s like a huge wave piling up. The momentum accumulated after 36 strikes has reached its peak. As long as I can find the gap in the ancient formation in the next strike, I should be able to welcome the Saint back to the

Human World.” Li Qingshan pondered silently.

The reason why he executed 36 strikes in three years was also to test whether the mysterious expert in the ancient formation had awakened.

Back then, half of the mysterious expert’s primordial spirit was slashed by the Sword supreme-ruler of the Old Millennium Calendar, and he fell into a deep sleep. 3,000 years had passed, and Li Qingshan did not know if the expert had awakened.

If the other party had awakened, it would not be good news for Li Qingshan.

Fortunately, the sword slash from the Sword supreme-ruler of the Old Millennium Calendar had caused the other party to still be in a deep sleep.

Therefore, Li Qingshan had no worries and kept accumulating momentum.

Right then, everything was ready. All he needed was an opportunity.

While Li Qingshan was deep in thought, Little Fox walked over from afar.

After ten years, Little Fox had grown up.

Its fur was snow-white and crystal clear. Its body was soft and slender, and a large tail swayed gently behind it. It looked extremely soft.

For the past ten years, it had practiced katas with Li Qingshan every day and comprehended Paths together. Its cultivation had also reached the Human World Pass.

“When will you release that sword slash?” Little Fox crawled into Li Qingshan’s arms and asked curiously.

Li Qingshan looked up at the sky.

In the sky high above, the Human World Spiritual Qi became violent.

Little Fox could not see it at all.

She knew Li Qingshan had been releasing his sword slashes non-stop for the past few years, so she was especially curious when he would make the last slash.

As Li Qingshan gazed and seemed to sense something, he asked, “It should be a full moon in a few days, right?”

Little Fox looked at Li Qingshan and asked curiously, “You’ve been living in seclusion on the Repentance Cliff for so long. What does the full moon night have to do with you?”

“On the full moon night, the Spiritual Qi will peak. It’s one of the few good seasons of the year.” Li Qingshan said.

“So, are you going to release the sword slash on the night of the full moon?” Little Fox asked excitedly.

Li Qingshan did not answer. He just stood up and put away the tea set. Then, he walked into the Million Stele Forest.

In the past ten years, he had been wiping a stele every day in the Stele Forest. He had roughly counted over 3,000 steles.

In other words, there were around 3,000 sets of skills.

Li Qingshan learned them one by one and comprehended thousands of them. He was familiar with all kinds of Path techniques, and the Paths in the world were at his fingertips.

In the past ten years, Li Qingshan had ventured deep into the Stele Forest but

rarely discovered Stele Worlds.

Out of the 3,000 steles, only three had Stele Worlds.

The skills provided by the three steles were [Demon Summoning Scripture], [Sword 22], and [Nine Slashes of Demons and supreme-rulers].

One was a Demonic technique, one was a Monster Clan skill, and one was a sword skill.

Li Qingshan cultivated seriously and worked hard to improve himself. He practiced hard every day and never slacked off.

On the Repentance Cliff, there was nothing to distract him. The storms in the outside world were nothing to him. Even the fight between Yuhua Sect and Heavenly Path Sect was like child’s play in Li Qingshan’s eyes.

As long as he broke through the Human World Pass and entered the Saint Plane, Li Qingshan would be able to wipe the Heavenly Path Sect out with a flip of his palm if it provoked Little Nine.

Instead of fighting endlessly then, it was better to improve himself.

By then, it would be a dimensional attack.

For three consecutive days, Li Qingshan practiced katas, comprehended Paths, and practiced his swordsmanship every day without saying a word.

Little Fox knew that Li Qingshan was accumulating momentum, so it only watched from afar every day and did not disturb Li Qingshan.

On the night three days later, the full moon hung high in the sky.

Dressed in white, Li Qingshan stood before the bamboo hut and looked at the moon in the sky.

“It’s a full moon night, and the Spiritual Qi Tide is fluctuating. It’s a good opportunity.”

“But looking at the weather, there may be rain tonight.”

On a full moon night, the sky should be filled with stars, illuminating the earth.

But then, dark clouds covered the sky, and even half of the moonlight was blocked. The Spiritual Qi Tide was surging thousands of miles high in the sky. If one was not at Li Qingshan’s cultivation plane, one would not be able to sense it.

As if proving his point.

Boom!

Just then, thunder sounded in the sky above Yuhua Sect, one after another.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of thunder was endless, as if a supreme-ruler was angry and roaring at the world, warning Li Qingshan.

Lightning flashed between the dark clouds. Each bolt of lightning was like a silver snake, reverberating between Heaven and Earth.

The rolling dark clouds finally began to rain.

Drip!

Drip!

Drip!

The raindrops fell on the eaves of the bamboo hut, making a crisp sound.

Li Qingshan raised his eyebrows. It really rained.

Those few drops of rain seemed to have paved the road.

Swoosh!

The next moment, torrential rain poured and washed the world, the eaves, and the corridors…

The rain hit the banana leaves in the distance, and the fish in the lake jumped.

The wind howled between Heaven and Earth.

The world was covered in rain and carried by the wind in a very short period.

Li Qingshan stood in the corridor, frowning slightly.

He discovered something very strange. There was a dense Spiritual Qi mixed in the rain and the wind.

The Spiritual Qi was so powerful that Li Qingshan could not believe it.

“This is the surge of the World Spiritual Qi, and it happens to rain on a full moon. Therefore, the gap of the ancient formation is facing the Human World, and the rain and wind carried the Spiritual Qi from the gap into the Human World.” Li Qingshan murmured softly. His eyes were extremely bright. He had found the opportunity.

He had obtained that opportunity through the release of his sword slashes every month for the past three years.

Only through accumulation could a quantitative change cause a qualitative change.

Inside Li Qingshan’s body, True Qi operated independently, and the energy was boiling. The Sword Qi accumulated for three years in his core was trying to break free and shine.

However, Li Qingshan’s expression was calm. He was silently admiring the storm.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the outside world, lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled.

Li Qingshan stood silently in the corridor with his hands behind his back.

The wind howled and carried the rain, blowing the Spiritual Qi into the Human World.

The world was being nourished.

However, it was far from enough.

Li Qingshan watched as the rain gradually calmed down. He stretched out his hand and spread his palm.

The rain fell on his palm and splashed into flowers. Then, it flowed along his palm lines and smashed onto the ground.

Thud.

A splash of water burst out.

At that moment, the Sword Qi that had been accumulated in Li Qingshan’s body for three years rushed out.

The enormous energy instantly turned into a huge wave and rushed into the sky along Li Qingshan’s core.

Clang!

It was also at that moment that Li Qingshan performed the first slash of the Heaven Slicing Sword Technique in ten years.

Then, under Little Fox’s gaze and Five Ghost’s shocked gazes, that fierce Sword Qi swept across the high sky.

That slash was unparalleled.

Carrying the extremely dazzling slash of the Sword supreme-ruler of the Old Millennium Calendar, that moment was similar to that 3,000 years ago.

The exact same Heaven Slicing Sword Technique soared into the sky.

That slash was like a falling galaxy in the sky high above, deafening and boundless.

Dark clouds exploded in the void, one after another. The heavy rain that washed the world seemed to have stopped in fear.

The thick, dark clouds in the sky turned into gorgeous fireworks at that moment.

In the next second, the slash hit the gap in the ancient formation.

Kacha!

The formation broke.

A heavenly voice resounded throughout the world, and everyone in the world heard it.

Then, a strong wind blew, and heavy rain fell again.

However, this time, the heavy rain and strong wind blew the Spiritual Qi and the Great Path from 3,000 years ago into the Human World.

That night, countless cultivators in the Divine Land were surprised to find out that the Spiritual Qi in the world was increasing exponentially along with the rain and wind.

Some cultivators stuck at the Grandmaster Plane took a deep breath and broke through.

There were dying old people who could only wait for their deaths despite having great ambitions as their bodies could not make it.

However, the Spiritual Qi from the rain and the wind nourished their withered bodies. It was like rain after a long drought, giving them a new lease of life. Those experts who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years cried their eyes out.

A Ninth Heaven Great Venerable shouted excitedly when he saw the increase in

Spiritual Qi, “Give me time. I’ll surpass the Saint!”

There were also young people who had just started cultivating who absorbed a mouthful of Spiritual Qi and supported themselves as they shouted in surprise.

The patriarchs of the various sects and hermit clans climbed out of their coffins and looked at the new world after the rain. They were so excited that their bodies trembled.

“The rain changed the Human World.”

“3,000 years. It has been 3,000 years. This world has finally returned to normal.”

“According to the legends, Saint was just a starting point in the world 3,000 years ago. I didn’t expect to see that in my lifetime.”

“I finally don’t have to wait for death anymore. In the next 3,000 years, this world will be ruled by me!”

Some ambitious ones roared, looking at the new world with excitement.

There were beautiful women who had aged and regained their youth after the rain.

That night, the entire Human World was in an uproar.

In front of the bamboo hut, Li Qingshan withdrew his palm.

The splash on the ground opened up an opportunity.

He raised his head and looked at the sky. Dark clouds were sweeping, and lightning was surging.

The rain was still falling.

The Spiritual Qi was still increasing.

“I finally broke through the Human World Pass!” Li Qingshan smiled.

Looking at the world after the rain, Li Qingshan muttered, “The bleak autumn wind is still the same, but the world has changed..”
