Why does Li Zhibai admire Shi Qingjun?
It's because she has witnessed the absurdity of the cultivation realm in Qing Province and the bloody chaos of the warring eras.
The barriers of Qing Province surrounded on all sides, it's unclear if they are imprisoned by the Demon Race inside, or if they have locked out the Demon Race outside of Qing Province. But in that anxious world, it certainly wasn't a good era.
It was precisely because Shi Qingjun emerged from nowhere, ruthlessly sweeping across Qing Province as Sect Leader, that the cultivation realm and the mundane world gradually got back on track.
The Sect Leader is the heaven of Qing Province.
She is the god and monarch of Qing Province.
In Li Zhibai's mind, it doesn't matter what purpose the Sect Leader had in purifying the universe, because she is the one who truly brought peace. It's precisely because everyone knows there is this lofty azure sky overhead that the world has not repeated its past absurdities.
