The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

In the days that followed, Li Qing's life seemed to be shrouded in a soft and peaceful glow. In this temporary peace, he practiced leisurely and contentedly.

He knew very well that there might be unknown undercurrents hidden behind this calmness, but he chose to face everything that was coming with a more calm attitude.

Li Qing did not neglect the rare spiritual objects given by the five demon lords.

He personally handed these spiritual objects to Chi Feng. When this "alchemy master" came into contact with these materials, the eyes of this "alchemy master" instantly burst into dazzling light.

Unlike previous refining processes, this time the materials for the Xuanling Huashen Pill not only increased several times in quantity, but also had unprecedentedly superior quality.

Especially those spiritual objects for promotion, each of them contains tremendous spiritual power, enough to make any practitioner dream of it. Each force has one, for a total of five extremely precious spiritual objects for promotion.

Recalling the scene at the last banquet, Li Qing’s conversation with the five demon lords.

From them, Li Qing learned an astonishing news: in the spiritual world, the frequency of spiritual creatures descending seemed to suddenly increase.

Especially those spiritual objects that can help people break through bottlenecks and advance to higher realms are emerging like mushrooms after a rain.

Almost every force that possesses an ascension platform has received spiritual objects of advancement sent down from the spiritual world, as well as many auxiliary medicines for refining the Xuanling Huashen Pill.

This phenomenon, while bringing joy, also quietly planted the seeds of worry in the hearts of the demon lords.

They are worried that such changes may mean that the spiritual world is facing an unprecedented crisis.

The power of the Heavenly Demon is growing stronger and stronger, and may even have reached an immeasurable level, so that the demons in the spiritual world have to take extreme measures and send down a large number of promoted spiritual creatures.

They hope to fill the combat power gap by training more powerful people from the lower world and fight against the invasion of demons.

However, Li Qing has his own unique insights into this series of events.

He secretly speculated in his heart that the devil might have really succeeded in controlling the key place in the spiritual world leading to the ascension platform in the demon world - "Broken Heart Mountain".

This mountain range has been an important channel connecting the two worlds since ancient times, and its strategic significance is self-evident.

Only the devil would be so indifferent to spiritual creatures. Demonic energy is poisonous to both humans and demons. Conversely, spiritual energy is also poisonous to the devil.

Therefore, when the demons invaded, they released demonic energy at will, attempting to transform the entire world into their territory and let all living beings bathe in the shadow of the demonic energy.

Such speculation made Li Qing feel a chill...

The days passed like this.

But the good times did not last long. Half a month later, trouble arose again.

The Tianyu Demon Dynasty finally took action. The Demon Emperor quickly summoned the most elite troops in the Demon Dynasty and the most capable generals under his command, vowing to destroy the Youying Tower and seek justice for his eldest son Fengyang.

Eagle State Pillar and Crow Demon Lord, as the two most valiant and warlike lords in the Tianyu Demon Dynasty, took on this heavy mission. Their eyes sparkled with the desire for victory and absolute loyalty to the emperor's orders.

They personally put on their armor and led the army, heading towards the Western Region Swamp where the Shadow Tower was located like a dark cloud pressing down on the sky.

However, Li Qing has not just arrived in the demon world now. There are unfathomable forces and a complex intelligence network behind him.

When the army of the Demon Emperor Tianyu had not yet arrived at the swamp area in the Western Regions, they encountered numerous obstacles.

The Eagle Pillar, with wings as black as ink and eyes as sharp as a falcon, flapped his wings and flew high, leading an elite force composed of aerial monsters, vowing to penetrate the clouds and hit the lair of the owner of the Shadow Tower in the Western Regions.

The Crow Demon Lord, clad in a black robe and with a ghostly figure, led the demon army on the ground. With firm steps, they silently shuttled between the dense forests and valleys, preparing to enter the Western Region Swamp from all directions to raid the island where the Lord of the Shadow Tower was.

However, when the two armies approached the Western Region Swamp in a mighty manner, they found that there were already forces waiting there for a long time.

Li Qing was obviously well prepared. He not only united the Black Turtle Clan of the Western Regions, but also several powerful demon tribes in the lawless area.

He also contacted several forces including Beiyuan, Qiuqi, Donghai, etc. to jointly resist the attack of Tianyu Demon Dynasty.

As the sky was gradually covered by thick demonic clouds, an unprecedented demon world event quietly kicked off above the vast swamps of the Western Regions.

At the edge of the swamp, the blue waves are rippling and the white mist is diffused, but it cannot conceal the tense atmosphere with undercurrents surging underneath.

Li Qing stood on a floating island carried by a demon turtle, surrounded by demon kings and strong men from various forces. They were either wearing armor or holding magical weapons, with sharp eyes, watching over the water that was about to become a battlefield.

The Black Turtle clan leader, an old and dignified man, spoke slowly, his voice like a bell, resounding through the sky: "Friends of the Tianyu Demon Dynasty, we are not a warlike clan, but our homeland cannot be violated."

"Today, we have united many demon tribes in the Western Regions and even in the no-man's land, just to protect this peaceful place."

Then, the son of the Yinyue Demon Lord from Beiyuan, wearing silver-white battle armor, revealed an unyielding and determined look in his eyes:

"Eagle National Pillar, although you and I are enemies, there are demons outside who are eyeing us covetously. Internal strife will only weaken the power of the demon world."

"Why not put aside the grudges and fight against the foreign enemies together?"

Qiwu of Qiuqi land, standing on auspicious clouds, spoke in a gentle but powerful voice: "The demon world is one family, why do we have to kill each other?"

"The calamity of the demons cannot be stopped by one clan alone. Only unity can preserve the peace of the demon world."

The son of the Golden Dragon Demon Lord of the East China Sea, holding a trident, stood on the waves, his voice carrying the chill of the sea breeze: "Eagle Nation Pillar, you and I both know that once the Heavenly Demon invades a thousand years later, there will be no peace in the demon world."

"At this moment, we should work together rather than fight each other."

Faced with the condemnation and admonitions coming from all sides, Eagle National Pillar and Crow Demon Lord looked at each other. Although they felt unwilling, they also understood the seriousness of the situation.

The Eagle State Pillar flapped its wings and flew high, hovering above the army, and responded loudly: "You are all right. The threat of the Heavenly Demon is indeed the top priority of the demon world."

"But the orders of our emperor cannot be disobeyed, and the revenge of His Highness Fengyang must also be avenged."

The Crow Demon Lord flashed and appeared beside the Eagle State Pillar, saying in a deep and powerful voice: "We are willing to discuss the major plan with you. We will first repel the external enemies and then discuss internal affairs."

After that, the Crow Demon Lord whispered, "Brother Eagle, if you insist on going your own way, I'm afraid you will be attacked by everyone, which is not a blessing for our Demon Dynasty."
