The Demon God Emperor
Ch. 50 - Ghost
After returning to the Ice City, Qing Shan entered seclusion for several days to concoct a medicinal pill to cure Qing Luo's poison. After he finished making the pills, he then left the Ice City with his sister Qing Luo to a small village that was closed and not much known by most people. Then Qing Shan left Qing Luo in that small village because this was Qing Luo's wish. Qing Luo wanted to stay put in this place and away from killing, away from the glint of the sword and the shadow of blood. He just wanted to live an ordinary and peaceful life without competing with anyone.
However, this was only a superficial reason. The biggest reason was to live an ordinary human-like life in this village because he felt alien when he saw Qing Shan. He could not remember his brother. Every time he saw it, his head seemed like it was going to explode from the pain. This only made Qing Shan feel guilty and self-blame.
Before actually regaining his memories of Qing Shan, the current Qing Luo had no intention of accepting Qing Shan as her brother. Even if his memory recovered, he did not want to cultivate in this life. Everyone has their own path. Qing Shan and Qing Luo were ultimately two completely different people.
"If, one day, I remember you, I'll come to find you." Qing Luo stood at the entrance of the village and stared towards Qing Shan.
"Whatever you want to do and the kind of life you want to live, I can promise it to you. If you want peace like an ordinary person, I can give you anything you want. If you want wealth, I will give you a country to be the king of men. If you want immortality, I will give you many techniques and pills so that you can become an immortal cultivator. Whatever you want, I'll try to get it." Qing Shan said with a gentle smile, but he did not feel happy at all and was only overwhelmed with regret.
He felt that the brotherhood need not always be together, or have an equal status, or even a mind with the same ideals. Perhaps their fate had separated the two of them. However, as long as they knew the others were still alive and that they were still looking at the same sky, their blood ties would never be lost.
With this bond, no matter how many people Qing Shan killed in the future and no matter how many people hated and envied him, it was no matter how many, he will never forget that he is a human being, not a demon.
"Akj has sworn to destroy the Demon Angel Sect, and I have done so But I am still too weak On the path of dao cultivation, I am still weak, someone who is not worth mentioning. However, I have stepped on this path and there is no turning back. The only option is to keep moving forward." Qing Shan said inwardly.
On top of the mountain that looked high where the wind was blowing fiercely, Qing Shan stood amidst the misty clouds and quietly watched Qing Luo in the small village. The chain in his heart had broken. He raised his head and noticed that the sky was even wider. He bowed and noticed that the earth also looked much bigger and wider.
"From now on, I can only rely on myself to be strong.."

Inside the Ice City Palace, Ling Yun fell asleep with a peaceful-looking facial expression under the curtain of night. Qing Shan then got dressed and left the bed. He pushed out the door and met with the moonlight that only made him remember Qing Luo several thousand miles away from where he was standing right now.
"Some day we'll be together again.." Said Qing Shan while stretching his body slightly with a lethargic facial expression. Ever since returning to the Ice City, Elder Han had continuously smashed the cauldron day after day. Qing Shan on the other hand was happily waiting for Elder Han to come see him for help in refining pills.
Qing Shan did not care about the Magic Treasure that was in that storage pouch. He had obtained the Sword of the Gods. In the future, that sword could level up. He was also not lacking in cultivation pills as well as there were some spirit weapons he had obtained.
Currently, Spirit weapons are divided into six levels or levels: starting from Silver, Gold, Jade, Earth, Heaven, and Divine level spirit weapons. The Divine Spirit weapon can only be used by experts from the Void Heaven Realm realm. His Fire Transformation Jade Ring that had accepted him as master, had previously only been at the silver level.
From the treasures he had obtained during the devastating battle of the Demon Angel Sect, there were two pieces of Golden Spirit weapons, it was comparable to the Treasure that the Gold Realm level realm expert possessed. One was the Ancient Beast Protective Bracelet, the other was a black-colored Jade Ring.
The Ancient Beast Protector Bracelet could increase the attack power of a Gold Realm expert by 30%. On the other hand, the effect of the Black Jade Ring was a stealth movement. It was similar to the Body Concealment Art, but it did not consume the power of Qi.
Even a complete Body Concealment Art had flaws. It was a waste of Qi energy and due to the use of Qi, cultivators using this technique could usually do detection by high-level experts. However, Spirit weapons were different. It did not use Qi and could be used passively.
Qing Shan put on the bracelet and wore the black ring on his finger. He used the spirit energy in his immortal veins to print the main seal on those two Spirit weapons to complete the possession process. "It wasn't as hard as I imagined.." Said Qing Shan when he suddenly felt his strength grow a little after going through the process of possessing those two spirit weapons.
The strength of his right wrist now increased by 30% after wearing the bracelet. The sword energy in his sword technique was definitely much stronger now. As for the stealth effect of the black ring, using his mind, Qing Shan's body suddenly moved, and a white light lit up as his figure disappeared amidst the snow and wind that was blowing.
After a while, on top of the snow, a row of horrifying footprints were left behind as if a ghost was walking.
"ah! A ghost..!"
The scream came from outside his silent wall, and it seemed like it was Mei Yin's voice from the direction of the tomb that had a mark of sword intent.
Qing Shan flicked his stealth movements and was speechless as he muttered. "Am I so scary? Is the person who sees my footprints as if someone has seen a ghost? Moreover, this Mei Yin was also a ghost. And not to mention ghosts are very normal in the cultivation world."
Qing Shan smirked and left his courtyard to head towards the silent grave outside the wall.
