The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

Finally, Li Qing arrived at the observation deck. Even though they had been married for thousands of years, the scene before him still made his heart beat faster.

A beautiful lady in a scarlet cheongsam is carefully watering a gorgeous flower. The cheongsam perfectly outlines her graceful figure, like a moving painting.

Li Qing slowed down and walked towards her slowly.

Coming to Chi Feng, I saw her concentrating on watering the flowers with a gentle smile on her face.

Li Qing gently hugged Chi Feng from behind, rested his head on her shoulder, and said, "Madam, I have good news to tell you. My physical body has broken through."

Chi Feng heard this and turned around, with a hint of surprise in her eyes: "Really? That's great, congratulations, husband!"

Li Qing smiled and shook his head, and said modestly: "In fact, this breakthrough is also thanks to the resources invested by the spirit world, which gave me the opportunity to break through."

Chi Feng nodded, a satisfied smile on her face: "That's good. My husband has become stronger, and I will feel more at ease. The future heavenly tribulation will not be simple, we must be prepared."

After the joy, Chi Feng's expression became serious and he started talking about other things.

She slowly took out an exquisite jade bottle from her sleeve, inside which lay two precious Xuanling Huashen Pills.

She had spent countless efforts and energy over the past few months carefully refining this elixir.

This time, the spiritual world generously donated two thousand-year-old Xuanling grasses, and also included some auxiliary medicines necessary for refining the Xuanling Huashen Pill. This is undoubtedly a rare opportunity.

However, even so, it goes without saying how difficult it is to start two furnaces for refining at the same time.

Whether it is the purification of medicinal materials or the control of the heat, it requires extremely high skills and experience. If you are not careful, all your efforts may be wasted.

What's more, collecting the two remaining auxiliary medicines is also a difficult task for both humans and demons.

The wise men of both the human and demon races naturally understood this truth. After discussion, they decided to first concentrate their resources to collect a complete set of auxiliary medicines needed to refine the Xuanling Huashen Pill and use them to refine the pill.

As for the remaining ten thousand year old Xuanling grass, he planned to refine it when he had the opportunity to collect more materials in the future.

Alternatively, they would also consider the breakthroughs of other Divine Transformation Seeds. If any unexpected event occurred, they would directly give this spiritual herb to the younger geniuses in the clan and let them consume it directly.

With the help of the powerful medicinal effect of the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Spirit Grass, he tried to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, but this was also a road full of risks but with great potential.

Of course, for Li Qing, these complex considerations of the two human and demon races did not have any impact on his interests.

He knew that no matter what the process was, he would definitely get his share of the benefits.

So, he calmly took the jade bottle containing the Xuanling Huashen Pill from Chi Feng's hand, casually summoned a loyal fifth-level ghost slave, and ordered it to deliver the precious jade bottle safely to the hands of the human and demon races.

After completing all this, Li Qing felt more relaxed and happy.

Afterwards, the two demons strolled together in the peaceful orchard, enjoying this rare leisure time.

It seems as if all the troubles and worries have drifted away with the breeze, leaving only the peace and satisfaction of the soul.

In the days that followed, peace returned.

It’s just that Li Qing replaced the copied blood demon’s body with a mid-level fifth-level one.

Adding the spiritual objects needed by Chi Feng, it would take nearly four months to copy them.

Even though his physical body has now broken through the 400-zhang mark, Li Qing has no plans to break through to the fifth level right away. He plans to wait until his physical body can make further progress, until the blood demon's physical body in the middle fifth level loses its tempering effect.

At that time, he would be able to consider whether to break through to the fifth level immediately based on the condition of his physical body, or continue to devour the blood demon's body of the late fifth level.

And now it’s only about a hundred years until their child is born.

Li Qing plans to accompany Chi Feng well during this hundred years, waiting for their child to be born.

By then, he and Chi Feng's small family will welcome a new life.

During this period, the situation between the human and demon races also quietly underwent some subtle changes.

In the last distribution, both the human and demon races received a Xuanling Huashen Pill respectively.

The two extremely precious Xuanling Huashen Pills carefully refined by Chi Feng were still divided equally between the two clans as per convention, but the impact they brought far exceeded the value of the pills themselves.

The result of this pill was the emergence of a new powerful god-transforming expert among the human race. This expert was Zhou Yu, whom Li Qing was quite familiar with.

Li Qing was not at all surprised at Zhou Yu's successful promotion.

He knew very well that even without this rare opportunity to achieve the state of Divine Transformation, Zhou Yu's probability of breaking through to the state of Divine Transformation was extremely high, thanks to the various conveniences and profound foundation brought by his past cultivation of the Heart Demon.

Zhou Yu's promotion not only added a bright color to the human race, but also enabled the Ghost King Sect's ancestor, Yin Ji Zi, to finally ascend to heaven when the three hundred years came, thus creating a legend.

In contrast, the demon clan seemed quite calm, with no news coming in regarding the newly promoted fifth-rank demon lord.

During this period of three hundred years, only the human race achieved the feat of ascension, while the demon race chose to remain silent and dormant.

However, this peace will not last long, because the next three hundred years will eventually come, and by then, the demon race will no longer be able to escape this fate.

According to the irresistible order issued by the ancestor of the spiritual world, after the next three hundred years, two people from their human world must ascend to become gods or demon lords.

By then, both the human and demon races must have a god-transforming or fifth-rank demon lord ascend to heaven, otherwise they will face the serious consequences of resource reduction or even deprivation.

What is more crucial is that after the older generation of gods and demon lords have ascended, if the new gods and demon lords of both the human and demon races in the human world are unwilling to choose to ascend because they are greedy for their earthly life span or fear the threat of the devil.

Then their behavior will directly cut off the chances of advancement for other human and demon races in the lower realm, which will have far-reaching consequences.

This is not only a choice about personal destiny, but also a major decision concerning the future of the entire race.

Therefore, both the newly promoted human gods and the demon lords are facing unprecedented pressure and challenges.

They must carefully consider whether to ensure their own safety or seek a way out for the long-term development of the race.
