The people who narrowly escaped the disaster, led by Li Qingshan, quickly left the vicinity, escaping the ancient battlefield and entering an endless primordial forest.
The forest was lush with huge vines, ferocious beasts, carnivorous plants, and some poisonous insects.
For example, Xia Wuji, in a moment of carelessness, was bitten by a poisonous insect. His entire body turned dark on the spot, and even his primordial spirit was poisoned. Ultimately, it was thanks to his strong recovery ability that he managed to expel the poison from his body.
“Damn, that was close! This poison could instantly kill an Emperor!” Xia Wuji said with lingering fear.
“This place is very dangerous, it’s no longer the Human World Universe. We must be extremely cautious,” Li Qingshan said seriously.
“Let’s first find a place to convert our internal energy before discussing anything else,” Immortal Northstar immediately suggested.
Li Qingshan began searching for a hidden mountain nook, ensuring there were no dangers around, to help everyone transition from the Human World Universe to this new world.
After searching for a while, he indeed found a hidden valley surrounded by natural barriers. After checking to ensure there was no danger, Li Qingshan meticulously inscribed formations around the area, integrating them with the mountains and earth veins to ensure no one could discover them.
Only then did he feel at ease.
Having done all this, Li Qingshan looked at the few people in the valley and said, “Now, no one should be able to find us unless they come close. But this place is very secluded. Everyone, rest assured and convert your energy. Then we can start exploring this newborn world.”
“Alright!” Everyone nodded in agreement. Following Li Qingshan, they inexplicably felt at ease. His composure and meticulousness gave everyone a sense of security.
In the valley, they quickly built a few wooden huts and began converting their internal energy.
In the Human World Universe, the energy everyone absorbed was clearly a level lower compared to here and needed to be completely converted.
Not only that, but they also had to adapt to the rules they had comprehended and the cultivation techniques they practiced.
Li Qingshan silently converted his energy as well. While comparing the energies of the two universes, he found that although they were fundamentally the same, there were significant differences in density and quality.
“No wonder they say the Supreme Path is dangerous. For newcomers, it’s fraught with crises. Not only must they be wary of ambushes, but they also need to convert their energy. It’s like a house sparrow being thrown into a predatory forest, with slim chances of survival,” Li Qingshan pondered. Clearly, the Supreme Path was not as ideal as people thought. Instead, it was filled with cold killing intent and harsh rules.
“But for me, it’s not a big deal,” Li Qingshan calmly thought. He adapted quickly, which was why he had led everyone to escape the disaster.
After all, Li Qingshan had to adapt when entering the Dimensional Battlefield from the Human World, and then again when entering the Immortal Plane from the Dimensional Battlefield.
Now, entering the Supreme Path from the Immortal Plane required another adaptation.
For Li Qingshan, this had become routine. He proficiently converted his energy and began to comprehend the Rules of this world.
Mastering the 3,000 Rules of the Immortal Plane, Li Qingshan found that the Rules here were much more profound and vast in comparison.
“The 3,000 Rules of the Immortal Plane are like children’s toys compared to the Rules here, barely a start.”
“But it doesn’t matter. While others start with one Rule, ten Rules, or a hundred Rules, I start with 3,000 Rules.”
“By progressing this way, I will definitely become stronger than others. Give me time, and I will grow rapidly,” Li Qingshan thought firmly.
Then, he decisively used the immature Time Rule from the 3,000 Rules of the Immortal Plane to create an extended period on the Supreme Path.
The time ratio was one day to one year!
Though much slower compared to the Immortal Plane, it was sufficient for Li Qingshan at the moment.
As he deepened his understanding of the world’s Rules, he would certainly be able to improve.
Li Qingshan was very excited because he hadn’t felt his power increase so clearly in a long time.
In the extended time, Li Qingshan quickly converted his energy. For now, he didn’t concern himself with anything else, as nothing was more important than enhancing his strength.
Day by day passed.
Outside, one day equaled a year in the extended time.
Li Qingshan had already completed his energy conversion in the first year, turning his vast internal energy into the higher-level energy of this world.
Then, he began adapting to the Rules, converting the 3,000 Rules he had comprehended into the Rules of this world.
This was a colossal project.
So he continued his seclusion in the hidden valley, completely unconcerned with other matters.
Meanwhile, Xia Wuji, Immortal Northstar, Demon Frog, and Hua Yun were also converting their energy. After converting, they too needed to adapt the Rules.
Their Rules were far fewer than Li Qingshan’s, so theoretically, they would be faster. However, without extended time, their progress wasn’t much different from Li Qingshan’s.
Time flew by, and three months passed.
During these three months, no one came to the valley, just as Li Qingshan had said. The place was very secluded, and with the added formation, it was doubly secure. Thus, everyone safely got through the initial awkward period.
Three months in the outside world meant nearly a hundred years in extended time for Li Qingshan.
In that hundred years, Li Qingshan successfully converted all 3,000 Rules.
His power was completely transformed.
His cultivation plane remained the same.
He was still at the Venerable Completion Realm.
But now, defeating his former self would be very easy.
This was the disparity between the two universes.
The Human World Universe ultimately could not compare with the Six Equal Universes, which was why so many people wanted to enter the Supreme Path. Despite the numerous dangers, they were determined to venture through it at least once.
A hundred years passed quietly. Li Qingshan dissipated the extended time and walked out of the wooden hut.
Everyone was outside.
Each person appeared unchanged on the surface, yet they had undergone significant inner transformations.
“Li Qingshan, what should we do next?” Immortal Northstar immediately asked upon seeing Li Qingshan come out.
In this group, Li Qingshan was the core, and everyone had gotten used to following his lead.
Li Qingshan did not answer immediately. He walked over to sit next to Hua Yun and then looked at Demon Frog, asking, “You previously told me that the Supreme Path originated from the Chaos World, created for people from the Six Equal Universes to enter and kill each other?”
Demon Frog nodded and said, “That’s what I heard at the time. I’m not sure if it still holds true.”
“After all, so much time has passed, and anything could have changed,” Demon Frog added.
“To find out the exact details, we can simply ask someone from here,” Li Qingshan said after a moment of contemplation.
“Everyone here wants to kill us and steal points,” Xia Wuji said.
“Right, if we ask someone at the Venerable level, they might not know anything. If we seek out a Realm Master-level expert, they’ll just try to kill us,” Immortal Northstar sighed, finding it too difficult.
“You all stay here; I’m going out for a bit.” Li Qingshan suddenly stood up.
“What are you going to do?” Hua Yun looked at her husband with concern.
“I’ll capture a Realm Master and question them thoroughly,” Li Qingshan said calmly.
“Can you defeat one?” Demon Frog asked in surprise, as Realm Masters were incredibly powerful.
“I’ve always been able to fight enemies above my level!” Li Qingshan replied with a confident smile, then turned and left the valley.
“Wait for me, I’ll be back soon!”
