Emperor Qiankun

Inside the time gate of Qiankun Hall.

After a long period of study, Li Qingyuan is now able to use the power of time and space to condense into an invisible shield.

This shield is somewhat similar to the indestructible body that was previously used on Lin Dong, and it has extremely strong defensive power.

And compared with the shield formed last time simply by relying on the power of time and space.

This shield has more comprehensive and flexible protective properties, and can protect his entire body in all directions.

When the shield was deployed, it seemed as if an independent space-time domain was formed around Li Qingyuan. Any attack would be blocked by the mysterious force of space-time the moment it touched the shield.

Now, even if he just stood quietly in front of those four extremely ferocious assassins, the other party would not be able to hurt him at all!

He was even confident that this shield should be able to withstand the attacks of low-level monks in the Earthly Demon Realm.

Although he has never actually tried it, the confidence that comes from his improved strength has quietly grown in his heart.

......

On this day, Li Qingyuan stepped out of Qiankun Palace.

The long period of seclusion and practice made him physically and mentally exhausted, so he decided to go out and have a rest to relax his tense nerves.

Back in the room, he looked outside and saw the sky and the earth were all white, with snowflakes falling heavily.

"Snowing!"

Li Qingyuan whispered softly, with a hint of surprise and emotion in his tone.

Looking at the snowflakes flying all over the sky, his thoughts drifted away like snowflakes and returned to Black Mountain Town.

He recalled the family competition at the end of last year. That competition seemed to be a turning point in his fate. From then on, his destiny began to change dramatically.

He thought of Li Changtian and Gusu Rou. What were they doing now?

He was reborn in their son's body, but he never fulfilled his filial duty. Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

As he thought about it, a strong desire to go home surged in his heart and became increasingly difficult to suppress.

Without any hesitation, Li Qingyuan walked to the door of his room.

When he opened the door, a chill hit him in the face, but he didn't care and walked straight out of the room.

He planned to ask Ren Yuxuan if he could go home for the New Year.

When he came out of the room, Li Qingyuan looked up, but found that the old ox had disappeared again.

He frowned slightly, feeling a little confused.

Suddenly, a snow pile that looked like a small hill caught his attention.

Because on one side of the snow pile, a furry cow's tail was revealed.

Li Qingyuan walked closer and took a look, and couldn't help laughing.

The old ox's entire body was buried in the snow, with only its tail exposed. It seemed to feel no cold at all and was sleeping quietly.

Li Qingyuan walked over slowly with a playful smile on his face, thinking of scaring the old ox.

He walked quietly closer, took a deep breath, and suddenly shouted into the old ox's ear: "It's time to eat!"

However, the old ox's reaction was different from what he expected.

The old ox didn't move at all at this moment, and didn't even lift its eyelids.

Li Qingyuan couldn't help but be shocked, and a thought flashed through his mind: Could the old ox have frozen to death?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly used his soul power to carefully check the condition of the old yellow cow.

After some investigation, he found that the old ox was still alive, and he felt relieved.

He carefully observed the old ox's condition and secretly guessed that the old ox must be practicing.

After figuring this out, he stopped disturbing the old ox and turned around and walked out of his residence.

At this time, white snowflakes were still floating in the sky. They were like messengers of the sky, dancing lightly in the air, then slowly descending and covering the earth.

In a short while, Li Qingyuan's clothes were covered with snowflakes, forming a thin white coat.

But he did not use his profound power to scatter the snowflakes, but instead let them stay on his body.

The slight coolness brought by the snowflakes made him feel a special kind of freshness and comfort.

In this way, he let the snowflakes fall on his body and walked leisurely along the way.

......

In the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, Li Qingyuan arrived at Ren Yuxuan's yard.

He raised his hand and knocked gently on the door.

Not long after, Ren Yuxuan opened the door and saw Li Qingyuan. A look of surprise appeared on her face, and she quickly let him into the room.

Then, Ren Yuxuan asked, "Junior Brother Li, it's been a while. How come you have time to come to my place today?"

Li Qingyuan didn't beat around the bush and directly stated her purpose: "Senior Sister, I want to go home for the New Year. I wonder if the sect will allow it?"

After hearing this, Ren Yuxuan thought for a moment, then slowly said, "Of course. You are now at the Purple Mansion Realm. According to the sect's rules, you can return home to visit your family once a year. However, Black Mountain Town is quite far away, so you will need to report your itinerary to the office."

Li Qingyuan nodded slightly and asked another question: "Senior Sister, can I take Li Muqiu back with me?"

He knew that Li Muqiu was only at the Divine Hidden Realm now, and was unsure whether they could go back together, so he had this question.

"That's fine. I'll just say hello to Elder Sun from the Office of Affairs."

Ren Yuxuan responded readily.

After receiving a positive answer, Li Qingyuan felt relieved.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while and Li Qingyuan said goodbye and left.

Ren Yuxuan watched his receding figure and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "He's truly a freak! He's already broken through from the second level of the Purple Mansion Realm to the fifth level in just over two months. If he keeps going like this, he'll easily surpass me in two years."

Thinking of this, her eyes were filled with wonder, as well as a hint of barely perceptible envy and anticipation.

......

After leaving Ren Yuxuan's yard, Li Qingyuan thought about finding Su Yaoyue and asking her if she would like to go to Heishan Town to celebrate the New Year together.

With this thought in mind, he walked briskly and soon arrived outside a yard.

This was his first time coming to Su Yaoyue's residence. He stood outside the yard and looked at the exquisite courtyard.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the treatment of direct disciples was indeed good.

The exquisiteness of this courtyard is almost the same as Ren Yuxuan's elders' residence, but it is not as large.

Thinking of this, Li Qingyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Although his cultivation has greatly improved and he has broken through to the fifth level of the Purple Mansion Realm.

But he has not yet registered at the office, so he is still an outer sect disciple and can only have a room without being allocated a courtyard.

This time I happen to be going to the office, so I can handle this matter at once.
