The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

As he spoke, Li Qing motioned for the Black Turtle Demon Lord to drink some tea first. Then, he slowly said, "Life is like a game of chess, with each new game. Although our plan has not been successfully carried out, it does not mean that we are in a desperate situation."

"You must know that in this vast world of cultivation, there are no eternal enemies, nor eternal friends, only eternal interests."

“Those forces did not respond immediately, but facing the threat of the demons, they will find a new way out sooner or later.”

Upon hearing this, the Black Turtle Demon Lord frowned, obviously having reservations about Li Qing's optimistic attitude.

He sighed and continued, "That being said, the devil's heart is hidden in his belly. What if they really find a way to deal with it but choose to keep it to themselves? What should we do?"

Li Qing shook his head gently, his eyes gleaming with wisdom: "Brother Xuangui, you worry too much."

"Now that the Ascension Platform has been dismantled by you, even if the Heavenly Demon discovers something unusual, it can only attack the demon world after the critical period has passed in seven hundred years."

"Seven hundred years is just a blink of an eye for us, but it is enough for many things to change."

"During this period, those three forces will sooner or later realize that only by working together and combining all the forces that can be combined can they resist the coming crisis."

Upon hearing this, the Black Turtle Demon Lord felt unwilling, but he had to admit that what Li Qing said was true.

He sighed, stood up, and prepared to say goodbye: "It seems that Brother Youying really has no other choice. In this case, I will not say any more."

"I have benefited a lot from this conversation. I just hope we can all weather this storm safely."

Li Qing smiled and nodded, and personally sent the Black Turtle Demon Lord to the door. He watched his back as he walked away, secretly thinking about his next move in his heart.

He knew that the real challenge had just begun, and he was ready.

……

In the following days, Li Qing's life returned to a calm and focused track.

Since both the deal and the plan fell through, without the disturbance and noise of the outside world, he and his wife Chi Feng were able to devote themselves to cultivation wholeheartedly.

And their child, Li Yanning, although hiding on Qingxia Island as an ordinary demon, did not slack off.

Under the influence of his mother's earnest expectations and his father's words and deeds, he also regarded cultivation as a top priority.

Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, it was the best time for him to practice hard.

He is fully aware of the responsibilities he shoulders, and he understands that in this world where the strong are respected, only by constantly improving his own strength can he protect his family.

At the beginning, Li Qing not only revealed his identity and cultivation level, but also often told Li Yanning about the current situation in the demon world and the dead end it faced.

These heavy messages made Li Yanning more determined in his faith and determination.

He understood that only by becoming stronger could he stand firm in the future storms and contribute his own strength to his parents.

So, during these peaceful years, Li Qing and his family of three worked hard on their own and worked together towards the goal of ascending to the spiritual world.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, seven hundred years of vicissitudes and great changes have quietly spread to every inch of land in the demon world.

During these seven hundred years, the demon world has experienced unprecedented turmoil and glory, like a wave in the long river of time, magnificent and full of mysteries.

During these long years, the Tianyu Demon Dynasty was like a bright star, illuminating the night sky of the demon world.

What attracted the most attention was the Demon King's stunning breakthrough. After countless days and nights of hard training, he finally leaped from the middle stage of the fifth order to the "supreme realm" of the late stage of the fifth order. His strength was strong enough to shake the heaven and earth and make all the demons submit.

This breakthrough is not only an affirmation of the Demon King's personal cultivation, but also a leap in the overall strength of the demon world.

However, holding an old grudge, the Demon King vowed to seek justice for his lost offspring.

So, he resolutely embarked on the journey to the Western Region Swamp, where the owner of the Shadow Tower was.

The Western Regions Swamp is a mysterious place surrounded by clouds and mist, obscuring the sky and divine sense. However, it cannot stop the Demon King's determination for revenge.

He vowed to uncover the grievances of the past on his own.

However, various forces in the demon world are deeply worried about this.

The threat from the demons is becoming increasingly severe, and internal strife will only weaken the overall defense of the demon world.

They sent envoys one after another, trying their best to persuade the Demon King to put the overall situation first, give up personal grudges, and jointly resist foreign enemies.

But the Demon King was determined as iron and turned a deaf ear to these advices. Only the fire of revenge was burning in his heart.

Faced with the Demon King's determination, all forces were powerless and could only watch him step into the depths of the Western Regions Swamp.

When they learned that the Demon King had arrived at Qingxia Island and was ready to fight to the death with the owner of Youying Tower, they were surprised to find that everything there had changed.

Qingxia Island, this once prosperous island, along with all the living things on the island, seemed to have been swallowed up by time and disappeared without a trace.

The Demon King's anger and unwillingness were instantly cooled down, as if a basin of cold water was poured on him.

The unwilling Demon King used all means at his disposal, even digging three feet into the ground, just to find a clue about the owner of the Shadow Tower.

But the result was in vain, the owner of Shadow Tower seemed to have evaporated from the world, leaving no trace.

In the end, the Demon King could only return to the Tianyu Demon Dynasty sadly with a heart full of regret and unwillingness.

But the Demon King did not remain silent, as he knew very well that his strength was not enough to completely eradicate the threat of the Heavenly Demon.

Therefore, he appealed to all forces in the demon world, hoping that they could pool their resources to help him break through to the sixth level.

He promised that once he successfully promoted and ascended to the spirit world, he would rebuild the ascension platform and lead more monsters to transcend the mortal world and go to the spirit world together, so as to completely solve the problem of demons for the monster world and save all the creatures in the monster world from danger.

This plan coincides with the idea proposed by the owner of the Shadow Tower many years ago, but now no one dares to question the Demon King's decision.

Whether out of awe for the Demon King's strength or to find a glimmer of hope under the shadow of the Heavenly Demon, various forces responded and offered their resources and strength.

As the power of the Demon Emperor Tianyu continued to grow, the demon world gradually returned to its former peace and prosperity.

The name of the owner of the Shadow Tower gradually became a legend in the history of the demon world. Only in the dead of night would it be occasionally mentioned by a few demons in casual conversation, and it would become their after-dinner talk.

But no matter what, the story about the owner of the Shadow Tower has been forever engraved in the history of the demon world.
