Li Qingming had stayed in the formation for a thousand years.
In just a thousand years, only a third of the billions of beings within the formation remained; countless beings were expelled by the white mist from the Heart Refining Array every day.
During this period, Li Qingming had also become acquainted with several young men of the Human Clan, steadfast in mind and already accomplished as Heavenly Immortals. However, these young men, who had followed Yuan Qing to the inland, did not recognize that the big brother who treated them like siblings was actually the Human Clan's Saint Father.
Days passed leisurely, and soon a few hundred years had gone by. The living beings in the great formation were flicked away by the white mist so swiftly that they vanished without a trace. Now, only fifteen individuals remained in the formation, including Li Qingming.
