Cheng Guang did not speak, uttering no words.

Slowly raising his foot, he stepped away.

He didn't bother to explain anything to Li Chengqian, who had already formed an answer in his heart.

Cheng Guang walked away slowly.

Li Chengqian watched Cheng Guang's retreating figure, furrowed his brows, and felt an impulse to retain Cheng Guang, this person who had appeared so suddenly beside him.

But just as he was about to act, Li Chengqian felt a surge of crisis.

This sense of crisis had come without any warning.

Li Chengqian hesitated for a moment, then let go of his intent.

After Cheng Guang left the Great Ming Palace,

Li Chengqian struggled to lift his body from the bed and stood up, his limbs seemed stiff due to not moving for so long.

Quite rigid.

His feet had just touched the ground and before he could steady himself, he nearly fell over.

But Li Chengqian's cultivation was still intact, and he quickly adapted, standing up slowly, walking step by step towards the outside of the Great Ming Palace.

Within a few dozen steps,

Qi started to swirl around Li Chengqian.

Stream-like flows of Qi converged toward Li Chengqian, enveloping him entirely.

After absorbing the Qi, Li Chengqian's body visibly plumped up, no longer the mere skin and bones it had been before.

His flesh seemed to fill out after absorbing the Qi.

His skin lost its dry and dull appearance, turning smooth instead, gleaming like polished jade.

If the original Li Chengqian had resembled a decrepit old man on the verge of death, he now appeared more like a vigorous young man.

Li Chengqian stepped out of the Great Ming Palace, greeted by a light breeze, which gave him a refreshing feeling.

Li Chengqian walked out of the Great Ming Palace, expecting the sky above Chang'an to be shrouded in boundless darkness, but to his surprise,

this time, the sky above Chang'an was a brilliant blue.

There were many figures around Chang'an City.

Li Chengqian could understand, without even using his Primordial Spirit to probe the vicinity of Chang'an City, that perhaps Chang'an had truly returned to the mortal world.

Li Chengqian felt a surge of emotion, his eyes brimming with tears, and the color of despair in his gaze had faded much.

Li Chengqian ascended step by step, gradually sweeping toward the city wall.

When he approached the city wall,

he could see many soldiers clad in black armor.

Upon seeing Li Chengqian's figure, these soldiers clearly paused before bowing slightly in salute to him.

Li Chengqian did not return the salute to these soldiers; instead, he simply raised his eyes slightly, his gaze passing through the prohibition protective shield casting a fantastical glow over Great Tang Chang'an City and falling upon Zhou Qingxu and others.

Seeing Zhou Qingxu and the group blocking the vicinity of Chang'an City, Li Chengqian knitted his brows, sensing that their strength was pitifully weak.

Not to mention compared with those deities, but even against the soldiers from Great Tang's past, they were hardly worth mentioning.

However...

Li Chengqian realized that among those around him, Zhou Qingxu and others, whom he deemed pitifully weak, were actually the strongest present.

In front of Zhou Qingxu's group, there wasn't even a single Demi Immortal.

Li Chengqian's brows furrowed slightly.

"So many years have passed, has the strength of the mortal world declined to this extent?"

Li Chengqian thought, then suddenly let out a sigh of relief.

"If the strength of the mortal world were still as it was back then, now that Chang'an has reappeared, without the ability to use the power of Chang'an City, everything inside would instantly be divided by the powerful," he murmured.

He stood atop the wall and looked around.

He glanced at Zhou Qingxu and others, but after just one look, he lost much of his interest.

If these people tried to forcefully enter Chang'an City, they would likely be unable to break through even the Prohibition Protective Shield, and even if they could, they would be no match for the city gate guards.

Just as Li Chengqian was about to withdraw his gaze, preparing to step out of Chang'an City to properly see the outside world,

his body had barely moved, one foot not yet leaving the city wall, when he became extremely stiff.

At the same time,

Li Chengqian had just stepped off the city wall and was no longer under the range of the Prohibition Protective Shield when he immediately felt his breathing become extremely difficult.

Like a fish out of water.

Li Chengqian's face turned red, his previously plump flesh instantly becoming gaunt.

The aura around Li Chengqian's body visibly weakened.

"What... what is this..."

Li Chengqian quickly grabbed his throat, trying to breathe, but once he had left the domain of Chang'an City, he became like a fish out of water, bereft of any strength.

In panic, Li Chengqian hurriedly ran towards Chang'an City.

Before reaching the city wall of Chang'an, his condition worsened by the minute, and his body almost collapsed to the ground, unable to hold itself up.

Fortunately, when Li Chengqian neared the city wall, Lu Qianjun acted in time, waving his Qi to sweep Li Chengqian's body back.

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

Lu Qianjun asked with concern.

Li Chengqian looked dazed and shook his head.

At the same time,

Li Chengqian raised his hands, looking at his palms.

As he stepped back onto the walls of Chang'an City, his flesh began to fill out again, and his gaunt body became robust once more.
