Li Qingshan had more than enough power to break through to the Emperor cultivation plane from the Immortal King cultivation plane.
In addition, he had two law powers in his hands. That was something ordinary Emperors could not attain.
But for Li Qingshan, that was only the foundation.
He had laid the foundation, and now he had to press forward and continue charging forward.
“I need to adjust my condition and start charging,” Li Qingshan said slowly, finding a clean area on the island and tidying up his appearance. Li Qingshan sat cross-legged and closed his eyes. He then mobilized his aura and began to break through to Emperor cultivation plane.
“Sister, I told you Father was going to break through to Emperor cultivation plane,” Big Clock said happily.
“Shut up, don’t disturb me,” Space Girl berated again.
Big Clock grinned happily.
Just as Li Qingshan was improving himself and preparing to break through to the Emperor cultivation plane from the Immortal King cultivation plane, the situation in the outside world had already deteriorated beyond redemption.
In the past two months, Li Qingshan had been absorbing the Path of Space law. Unlike Big Clock, Space Girl had existed for too long and had accumulated countless Path of Space laws. It would take Li Qingshan a long time to comprehend them. He had no idea about the situation in the outside world.
In the outside world, the world’s crusade against Immortals had already reached the final stage.
The God Realm, the Buddha Realm, the Monster Realm, the Demon Realm, Hell, the assassin organizations, and all the other major forces attacked the Celestial Court from all directions. Although the Emperors didn’t make a move, their more senior descendants realized the gravity of the situation and wanted to salvage the situation. However, it was already too late.
The Celestial Court inevitably fell into the abyss.
Today, after two months of progress, all the forces around the Celestial Court had been decimated.
The Celestial Court only had the nine heavens and the floating islands above the nine heavens.
The world’s crusade against Immortals had already reached a critical juncture.
That could be seen from the changes in the nine heavens.
When Li Qingshan came to the nine heavens, although the people here were anxious, not many people left.
But after two months, the people in the nine heavens had completely left.
The Celestial Court was finished. That was a publicly acknowledged fact.
The whole world wanted to kill Immortals, but they didn’t kill the innocent. As long as an Immortal cut ties with the Celestial Court and wasn’t the direct relative of the emperor race, they could leave.
Therefore, the only people left in the Celestial Court were the battered descendants of the Emperor Clan.
The two months of resistance were the last bit of stubbornness of the Emperor Clan descendants. Most of the experts died in battle, and the weaker ones couldn’t escape their fate. The calamity caused the Emperor Clan descendants to cry and beg for mercy.
They wanted to give up all their properties and secrets in exchange for a way out.
They had already negotiated with the Monster Clan.
Although the descendants of the Emperor Clans were reluctant, they had already accepted the destruction of the Celestial Court. Their best option would be to find means of survival.
They hated the various major factions and cursed those who left, blaming others and feeling that it was not their fault things turned out this way.
The Celestial Court’s current state was caused by the alliance of those major factions.
It was definitely not their problem.
All they wanted to do now was to give up everything and keep their lives. As long as there was life, there was hope.
The descendants of the Emperor Clan all calculated this way.
Now that the nine heavens was empty and the outside world was blocked, the Emperor Clan descendants knew that the situation was hopeless.
They didn’t hesitate to abandon the Celestial Court.
That scene was witnessed by the head of the Zhang Family.
He was the only remaining Crimson Immortal of the Celestial Court, and the most outstanding one in the expedition.
In the past few months of battle, he had killed several Crimson Immortals on the frontline. He was the backbone of the Emperor Clan descendants.
The reason why the major forces had surrounded the Celestial Court but didn’t dare to attack was because of him.
In the Celestial Court, the descendants of the Emperor Clans wanted to escape. They looked at the patriarch of the Zhang Family and tried to persuade him.
“Patriarch Zhang, we will listen to you now. We have gained a lot over the years, and we’ve given it all up. But as long as we stand strong, everything will be fine.”
“That’s right, Patriarch Zhang. You’re very powerful. The outside world acclaimed you as the number one person below the Emperor cultivation plane. Now, we’re abandoned. Our ancestors don’t care about us anymore. We can’t contact them. We have to save ourselves.”
“Patriarch Zhang, the Central Jade Emperor said that we could contact him if we were in danger. We’ve been trying to contact him for the past two months, but he didn’t respond. He must have given up on the Celestial Court.”
“Yeah, even the Emperors have given up on the Celestial Court. What are we still holding on to?”
A group of old men dressed in luxurious clothes, who had been in high positions for a long time, were trying to persuade the Zhang Family’s head.
“As long as we abandon the Celestial Court, we can still live well even if we have no money. Patriarch Zhang, I don’t want to die yet.” An elder begged the head of the Zhang Family.
However, the head of the Zhang Family, who was the backbone of the clan, wore an indifferent expression. Looking at the group of descendants of the Emperor Clan, who were not strong but working their brains to survive, he said calmly, “You were so happy when you were leeching off the Celestial Court to elevate your social standing. Now, you can’t wait to run off to another place to continue to do whatever you want?”
Hearing that, the two people changed their expressions as they stared at the Zhang Family’s head in disbelief.
“Patriarch Zhang, how can you say such things? We, leeching off the Celestial Court? It’s simply absurd! Wasn’t the Celestial Court conquered by our ancestors? Without them, how could the Celestial Court exist? It’s only natural for us descendants to run the Celestial Court and seek benefits. How can you call us leeches?” an old man stomped his feet and used his status as an elder to berate the Zhang Family’s head.
