Legend of the Great Sage

and its circumference was probably as long as over a dozen people holding hands with their arms outstretched.
It almost resembled a wall.

Li Qingshan directly walked over, walking into the wooden wall silently.
The small world that was still half-chaotic in his body shrank and swelled with each breath of his, constantly circulating.

With success in one technique came success in all techniques.

If regular cultivators wanted to achieve an initial mastery of the Divine Movement of the Five Elements, it would take years at the very least.

However, moving through wood was no longer anything difficult, as he had reached the first layer of the Qilin’s Conventions of Longevity.

Just like that, he made his way through the forest, passing through tree after tree until a great mountain blocked his path.

He smiled.
With a leap, he dove into the rock like a fish slipping into water, immediately lighting up with a specific glow, navigating his way through the mountain.
Only that could be regarded as a true movement technique.
Not only was it unopposed, but it could even make use of the terrain to move faster.
Moving through earth was basically as easy as breathing to him.

There was quite a lot of ore in the mountain, which posed a slightly bigger obstruction than the rocks, but it was not much of an issue either.
He made his way into the depths of the mountain with the movement technique and suddenly plunged downwards.
The heat gradually rose up; an endless sea of fire abruptly filled his face.

Li Qingshan thought, Oh, so this is a dormant volcano!

The underground magnetic field interfered with techniques, so the light around him flickered.
The Divine Movement of the Five Elements sometimes stopped working, which made the sea of fire swallow him immediately.

Among the movement techniques of the five elements, practising moving through fire was the most dangerous.
Moving through earth was only a matter of being buried alive and moving through water was only drowning.
Neither was lethal to cultivators.
However, being burned by fire was not that comfortable.
Normally, they would all begin by practising in a cauldron.
They would have friends watch over them so that they could stop the fire at any time.
Even with that, it was extremely easy to be injured or even lose their lives.

It was basically unheard of to begin cultivating in the flames of the earth like Li Qingshan.

Not only were there severe fire toxins here, but there was the influence of the underground magnetic field as well.
The magma was not purely fire either, so it required mastery over earth movement and metal movement.
The slightest mistake could lead to unthinkable consequences.

It was probably because Li Qingshan had already grown accustomed to balancing various powers a long time ago that he could maintain the movement technique under the influence of the magnetic field, moving through earth unobstructed and traversing through fire unharmed.
He moved about freely.

At this moment, he suddenly encountered an earth bubble that ruptured violently.
The magma surged, and the magnetic field was thrown into chaos.

The movement technique was immediately disabled, and his chest heated up.
His wound that had already closed ruptured again, and blood and fire surged out like a volcanic eruption.
That was the residual power from Li Liehuo’s punch.

Li Qingshan was covered in scorch wounds.
If it were not for the phoenix’s bloodline, he would have found it unbearably hot.
The turbulent magma rushed in from all directions.

Even though he possessed experience with moving through earthen flames and he had done so with just his body, this was the Human realm.
Everything in the surroundings told him a simple fact.

You aren’t that strong here!

HIs reckless behaviour when he rampaged through the nine provinces in the past seemed to become a distant dream.
Just like when he had first arrived in the small world, the concept of “invincibility” was only an immature game between children.

Is this it? Is this it? Li Qingshan asked himself.

He gritted his teeth and silently focused on every area of pain from his body.
His various emotions after arriving in the Human realm filled his mind.
He had been treated as a pawn, an object for gambling, freely insulted and ordered around, forced into dire straits step by step.
Even after casting aside the notion of death, it took him everything to preserve his dignity, and he was still left with a hole in his chest.

He clenched his fists and let out a hysterical roar, casting himself into the depths of the earth fire.

Boom.
The mountain shook, and the ground rumbled.

Xiao An suddenly looked back.
‘Qingshan!”
