The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

Firstly, the benefits provided by humans can no longer impress him.

The threat of the Heart-Eating Demon is gone, and the Shadow Building is almost becoming the largest force in the human world, with all kinds of spiritual objects.

He has no shortage of anything these humans have provided.

Secondly, he now has a pregnant wife at home, and no matter what happens in the outside world, he will never leave Chi Feng.

His wife and children are the most important things in the world to him. As long as their small family is safe and sound, he has nothing else to ask for.

Moreover, it was only ten years in total, which was just a period of seclusion for Li Qing.

What's more, it makes no difference to him whether the human race wins or the demon race wins.

"Madam, please be at ease." Li Qing gently held Chi Feng's hand, his eyes full of tenderness and determination, "The threat of the Heart Devouring Demon has been eliminated, and the influence of the Shadow Building in the human world is growing. We no longer need to seek the resources we need from outside."

"Even if the demon race completely invades the human world, it will not have any impact. Although the Shadow Tower is the source of our cultivation resources, if your husband can build a Shadow Tower, then I can build another one from scratch!"

"What's more, right now, my heart and eyes are full of the little life that is about to be born. Your safety and health are my biggest concern at the moment."

"How can I ignore our little family because of the turmoil in the outside world?"

These words were both a comfort to Chi Feng and a commitment to his own inner beliefs.

Li Qing knows very well that in this world full of uncertainties, only by protecting everything he cherishes can he find a peaceful place in this chaotic world.

After listening to her husband Li Qing's firm and warm words, Chi Feng finally felt relieved.

She knew that her husband's words were consistent with his actions, and every word he said was of great importance. He never made a promise lightly, but once he made a promise, he was determined to fulfill it no matter what the weather.

This trust is like a solid fortress built during their years of fighting side by side, and it is indestructible.

In the days that followed, Chi Feng and Li Qing's lives still maintained that precious tranquility and harmony.

The noise and turmoil in the outside world caused by the arrival of the critical point seemed to have nothing to do with them.

In the ship where they live, it is spring all year round, with the fragrance of flowers everywhere. The breeze blows gently on the pearl curtains hanging between the pavilions, making clear and pleasant sounds.

When they were not practicing, they would sit on the chairs on the observation deck, drink tea and discuss their experiences in practice and their insights into life.

Or you can stroll hand in hand in the orchard planted by Chi Feng, admire the blooming flowers and fruits, and feel the beauty of this place.

Or he could lie on the comfortable bed, feel the movement of the fetus in Chi Feng's belly, and enjoy this rare peaceful time.

However, beneath the calm, Li Qing had already made plans and made careful preparations for the upcoming critical change.

He knew very well that the opening of the critical point would not only mean changes in the situation in the human world, but would also likely attract the covetousness and disputes of the royal forces among the monsters, putting the safety of the human world in jeopardy.

Therefore, when the war between the two tribes was about to break out, Li Qing made sufficient preparations in advance.

He secretly mobilized the ghost slaves under his command. These loyal and powerful beings, under the cover of magical powers, quietly shuttled across the continent, carrying back the rare spiritual objects from the treasure houses scattered by the Shadow Tower in various places to the Takihai Pearl.

These spiritual objects, whether they are spiritual medicines for improving cultivation or rare materials for refining magic weapons, are all precious and rare, and are what Li Qing lacks.

At the same time, Li Qing also ordered the ghost slave to bring back the souls that the Shadow Tower had collected over the years.

What was left in the Shadow Tower were just some ordinary spiritual objects, which would neither arouse the greed of the demons nor make Li Qing feel heartbroken when he lost them.

In this way, it can be said that even if the entire human world is occupied by the demon clan, even the Shadow Tower will be breached by the demon clan and all the spiritual objects in it will be looted.

It is insignificant to Li Qing and will not cause him any substantial loss.

Because he had already transferred the most important and valuable things into his own hands.

After such precautionary preparations, Li Qing was able to face possible crises in the future with ease and without any worries.

Even if the worst happens, the human world is invaded by demons, and the Shadow Tower encounters an accident, he can continue to live peacefully in Longhai Pearl with the resources in his hands.

A month later, with the alternation of the sun and the moon and the shifting of the stars, the passage between the two worlds, after experiencing countless spatial fluctuations, finally stood firmly in the void, becoming an unignorable presence above one's head.

This is not just a spatial connection, but also a causal line that interweaves the destinies of the two worlds.

During this period, Li Qing seemed to have escaped into another world, and turned a blind eye to the light that frequently flashed and urgently called out in the round mirror.

The round mirror that was the mother instrument of this phantom bracelet seemed to have become a microcosm of the noise and chaos of the outside world at this moment, constantly projecting all kinds of information coming from the depths of the human world.

The message contained the heavy requests of the last three human cultivators in the God Transformation Stage. Their words were mixed with helplessness and hope. They earnestly hoped that Li Qing could stand up and become the last line of defense for the human world.

There were also secret letters from the Soul Boundaries who were in charge of the Shadow Tower for Li Qing. They also invited Li Qing to lead countless Soul Boundaries to fight against the demon race in the name of justice for the human race, and vowed to fight together in this battle that was about the survival of the race.

However, Li Qing's heart was calm.

He knew very well that although he had cultivated to the realm of a fourth-level demon king and had extraordinary strength, this identity was like an invisible shackle that completely separated him from the human race.

In the eyes of humans, he is a monster, an alien. Even if he has good intentions, he can hardly get rid of this innate prejudice and alienation.

What's more, he clearly realized that it was undoubtedly a fantasy to want to turn the tide and protect the entire human world from the impending disaster by his own strength.

Therefore, Li Qing made a rational yet cruel decision - he chose silence and observation.

He understood that in this turbulent time, every decision he made could affect the fate of his couple.

As a fourth-level demon king, the most correct choice for him in this complicated situation is to remain silent.

He did not directly respond to the calls from the human world, but quietly followed the dynamics of the human world in a more covert and efficient way.

He dispatched his most powerful fifth-order ghost slave with the ability to hide, the Heart-Eating Demon, to serve as his eyes and ears, lurking in the human world and monitoring every movement in the outside world in real time.

The Heart-Eating Demon, with its unique form and abilities, can travel freely in the human world, collecting vital intelligence and providing Li Qing with first-hand information.

During this period, Li Qing continued to accompany Chi Feng as usual.

In the outside world, as the passage between the two worlds becomes more stable, an unprecedented storm is quietly brewing, waiting for all human beings to meet their challenges and tests...
