The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

In this dark space deeply permeated with thick demonic energy, Li Qing transformed into a wisp of breeze and floated carefully in it.

He turned on his Spirit Eye to maximum power, stared at his surroundings, penetrated the heavy demonic energy, and captured the slightest fluctuations in spiritual energy and the surrounding environment to guide him in the right direction.

Although this place has completely changed compared to its past appearance, Li Qing can still identify the general direction based on the route in his memory.

After all, the environment can change, but the ascension platform cannot change position.

Although the route in his memory has become blurred, those key nodes are shining like stars in Li Qing's heart.

He remembered that the Ascension Platform stood in the deepest part of the Yanjian Sect and was surrounded by several large mountains.

Passing through the demons wandering in the evil spirit, Li Qing was getting closer and closer to the ascension platform.

As he went deeper and deeper, the demons around him became more and more dense and more powerful. They had different shapes, some were as huge as behemoths, and some were as ethereal as ghosts, but all of them exuded a strong demonic aura.

These demons seemed unaware of Li Qing's arrival. They were either playing or fighting, completely immersed in their own world.

However, Li Qing knew that this was only superficial calm, and the real danger often lurked in the dark.

In a place unknown to Li Qing, there was a mountain next to the ascension platform.

There is a cave inside the mountain with a vast space inside. The walls of the cave are as smooth as a mirror. There are also some stone pillars around it that are extremely similar to those outside, emitting a faint light.

In the center of the cave, there is a huge stone platform with a brain placed on it.

The surface of this brain is covered with fine lines and blood vessels, which looks very strange.

It lay quietly on the stone platform, as if it was sleeping, but also seemed to be waiting for something.

Just a few moments ago, when Li Qing passed through the stone pillar and stepped into the Demon Realm, this brain suddenly began to tremble slowly.

There seemed to be some subtle change in the rhythm of its vibrations, and there was a brief pause.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful spiritual consciousness quickly emanated from the brain.

This spiritual consciousness surged like a tide, instantly spreading to the entire cave, and with the help of the surrounding stone pillars, it connected to the stone pillars at the border of the Demon Realm. The spiritual consciousness immediately spread to the entire Demon Realm.

In the Demon Realm, Li Qing was wandering around cautiously, vigilantly observing the situation around him.

He didn't know that he had been locked onto by this powerful divine consciousness.

In just a moment, this spiritual consciousness accurately found Li Qing's position and locked him firmly.

At this time, Li Qing had not noticed anything unusual and was still immersed in exploring the Demon Realm.

However, as time went by, Li Qing gradually felt an inexplicable pressure and uneasiness.

He frowned and a sense of vigilance arose in his heart.

But he couldn't determine the source of this feeling and could only remain vigilant.

Just as Li Qing was about to step into the area where the ascension platform was located, an inexplicable sense of crisis suddenly surged in his heart.

It was a feeling of being watched by a powerful being, as if an invisible eye was penetrating through layers of demonic energy and staring straight at him.

Li Qing's heart trembled, and he immediately realized that he might have been exposed.

The next moment, he activated the ghost robe without hesitation, and saw black fog spreading, instantly enveloping the breeze he had transformed into, and merging with the equally dark demonic energy around it, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.

As the black fog rolled, his figure disappeared from the spot, leaving only chaos and blur.

Relying on the spirit-detecting eyes to clearly see the surrounding environment, and coupled with his familiarity with the location of the ascension platform, he was fleeing towards the location of the ascension platform at an astonishing speed.

Based on the divine sense that was spying on him, Li Qing was now 100% sure that he had been discovered by the demon, and this meant that his situation had become extremely dangerous.

At this moment, since he has been discovered, he no longer needs to hide. He must race against time and complete the task of destroying the ascension platform as soon as possible before the demons can react and their army gathers.

At the same time, the brain hidden deep in the cave was sensing the sudden disappearance of Li Qing with its powerful spiritual sense, and several commands were transmitted to several subordinates in the Demon Realm through the spiritual sense.

As Li Qing approached, the brain tremor became more and more violent, and finally turned into a powerful spiritual consciousness, which surged towards the area where the ascension platform was located like a tide, instantly locking onto Li Qing's position.

The strength of this spiritual consciousness far exceeded Li Qing's expectations.

He could feel the terrifying pressure contained in it, as if even his soul was about to be devoured by it.

But Li Qing did not back down, as he knew very well that any hesitation at this moment might lead to all his efforts being wasted.

Then, Li Qing's mind moved, and the vast demonic power in his body began to evaporate in large quantities. His speed increased again, and he disappeared out of thin air, shuttling through the demonic energy.

Although his escape speed was already at the top of the human world, he could only travel around the Yanjian Sect in a few breaths. Logically, it should have been dozens of breaths now, and he should have reached the ascension platform.

But for some reason, as he got closer to the ascension platform, the demonic energy became thicker and thicker, and his spiritual sense and spirit-detecting eyes could no longer see far.

This caused him to wander around in the extremely dim Demon Realm. Any movement he made might result in him missing the ascension platform, so he has not yet found the location of the ascension platform.

Moreover, he didn't know if he had been attacked by that divine consciousness, but he felt that his sense of direction was getting worse and worse. He just passed by an identical blood demon.

Through this, Li Qing can be sure that this guess is very likely. The blood demon relies on the devoured blood to transform, and it is extremely difficult to transform into an exactly the same one. He must have lost himself in the demon realm.

This discovery made his heart tighten. The demon who was able to attack him silently must be extremely powerful and was most likely the commander of all the demons in this world.

Thinking of this, Li Qing secretly thought that it was a mistake. He really didn't expect that the demon didn't stay in the demonic energy on the dome, but continued to stay in the Yanjian Sect.

However, he knew that the distance between him and the ascension platform was very close, and the demon behind him who was spying on him was becoming more and more urgent.

His spiritual consciousness quickly probed into Qingyu. After a moment, Li Qing swallowed a soul-clearing elixir and refined it immediately.

Then he took out a lot of soul-protecting pills and swallowed them all, just in case.
