After sealing the black box and the bronze flying knife, Qi Ping’s life returned to tranquility.

Since stepping onto the path of Immortal Cultivation until now, he has gradually adapted to the world’s rules and current situations. It seems like starting from being a mortal, the difficulties ahead are never-ending; even if recent issues are resolved, various problems will need to be addressed in the future.

Therefore, when faced with the mysterious "Immortal" and bronze flying knife, as well as the disrupted Mahayana Path, Qi Ping only worried for a while before adjusting his mindset.

The world’s current state is just like that, worrying is useless. Striving to grasp all the power one can control, accumulating and preparing adequately, and enjoying everything in the process is what’s true.

"Now that I think about it carefully, I’ve really missed quite a bit of warmth and excitement on the Path of Immortality...."

Thinking of this, Qi Ping couldn’t help but shake his head. But then a faint smile appeared on his face.

He now unifies the Star Sea, sweeping away all demons and evildoers, crafting a Star Sea Cultivation Realm he once didn’t dare to dream of, providing every person’s Path of Immortality with a stepping stone, gaining the genuine loyalty of countless people.

In terms of achievements, calling him an emperor of ten thousand ages would not be an exaggeration.

In fact, the citizens of the Nine Star Sea Realms have even more exaggerated titles for him, like the only Immortal Emperor of ancient and modern times, the Star Emperor respected by the Star Sea.... these are respectful titles for him. It’s just that Qi Ping feels his strength is mediocre and he doesn’t dare use such ostentatious titles. Further, Qi Ping also feels he is not as good as they say; his core purpose is still for himself.

Nonetheless, achieving such accomplishments, the joy of such feats is worth savoring and taking pride in.

Furthermore, the Spirit Stones, wealth, and various resources he has accumulated have reached a level that he cannot even calculate accurately, which is the joy brought by wealth.

Also, the power he has nurtured in his hands is increasing, the Star Sea Academy, Cyan Divine Army, and the rapidly growing Spirit Wood Academy and Spirit Beast Academy are all sources of growing foundation joy.

He also has his animal companions, part of the core Earth Vein Ants group has already grown with the Earth Vein to reach Tier Six, becoming his strongest bloodline power animal companions aside from the small Cyan Dragon. Additionally, the Void Fish, little Immortal Tiger, and Golden Marrow Bees are all rapidly getting stronger, and their future achievements will be extraordinary!

"I just don’t know how Yaya, the little Spirit Fox, and the little Flower Demon are doing.... I wonder if I can see them this time?"

Yaya, who enjoys cultivation and finds joy in it, the little Spirit Fox who likes to sleep in his arms, and the little Flower Demon who dazes off with her roots buried in the soil every day... are the most adorable parts of Qi Ping’s memories.

Qi Ping also doesn’t know whether these companions will have some changes in character when they meet again.

Thinking on it, there probably will be, as they previously stayed by his side from a young age and hadn’t experienced much of the world’s affairs. This time entering the harsh Forest Sea Demon Realm, changes in character and perception are inevitable.

Finally, those friends and family who grew alongside him still accompany him.

With this thought, Qi Ping suddenly realized he hadn’t gone back to visit Old Man Zhou and Sister Nan for many years.

"I should go back and see them. Don’t always talk about waiting for the future. Who can be sure of the future? If any accident happens one day, that would truly be regrettable!"

Having witnessed the power of the "Immortal" and the bronze flying knife, Qi Ping, after worrying, instead became even calmer, having a clearer understanding of the path he walked, and his Dao Heart became unprecedentedly firm.

Now, even in the most hopeless predicaments, he will not be crushed or intimidated, no matter what he faces, he will do his best to unleash the maximum of his controllable and accumulated power...

Thinking of this, Qi Ping condensed a Spirit Body, so that he wouldn’t delay his cultivation.

This Spirit Body looked just like the way he used to look when he was beekeeping in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

The clothes were still simple as before, just without the straw hat to prevent himself from getting sunburned, the youthful look on his face was long gone, replaced by a simplicity and calmness after experiencing many trials....

....

Qingtian Realm, Qingshi County, Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

This place no longer has its former appearance, and the No. 007 peak where Qi Ping started his rise has long disappeared into the annals of time.

The Nascent Soul-level Demon Insect King once sealed there hasn’t left any rumors that reached Qi Ping on the Star Sea Continent.

Perhaps it has already left the Star Sea Continent, maybe it’s lurking sleeping in some corner, or perhaps it got collected by some powerful cultivator after leaving the Qingtian Realm, used as a material for cultivation and artifact refining.

This once fearsome, terror-striking demon insect, whose battle aftermath alone could destroy the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, now in Qi Ping’s eyes, is just a being that cannot stir any trouble; his Earth Vein Ants, Void Fish group, Golden Marrow Bees, and Cyan Divine Army can easily sweep away any demon insect!

Under his ruling and deep foundation, what was once considered a Demon Insect King capable of causing calamities doesn’t even have a chance to develop.

Currently, the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, due to reshaping the Earth Vein and reintegrating the high-level Spirit Veins, has undergone significant changes in its landscape and structure.

This place is no longer somewhere one must tread carefully just to rent a Spirit Field. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Now, every tract of land in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range has a standard price, allowing any ordinary cultivator to work hard on it and earn the resources needed for cultivation.
