Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 101-Chapter 200)

Gu Yanying emerged from the snowstorm and said in surprise, “What happened?” She also used a violet talisman, breaking out of the Soaring Dragon Elder’s World Cage and rushing to the icy cliff. However, right before she arrived, the Soaring Dragon Elder’s aura completely vanished. It was wiped from the world cleanly.

Li Qingshan held Xuanyue’s cold corpse. He did not answer. He did not know how to answer.

Gu Yanying even felt tinges of fear. A Golden Core elder had just vanished without reason. This probably could shake up the entire Green province.

Did that person from the Umbral Yin sect interfere? No, it couldn’t be. Even if Soul Nascence cultivators had the ability to kill Golden Core masters, it was impossible for them to do it so silently. Even an ant knew how to put up a struggle, let alone a Golden Core cultivator.

Was it related to him? Gu Yanying glanced at Li Qingshan before shaking her head, as Li Qingshan was just too weak. If he had a terrifying background, why was his cultivation still like this, still a daemonic beast who had yet to condense a daemon core? Among Qi Practitioners, he would only be at the fourth or fifth layer.

Even with her extraordinary intellect, her brain was in a mess. Everything that happened tonight was just too strange.

“You should give her to me!”

Li Qingshan said, “I promised that I would take her to the Dragon province.”

Gu Yanying said, “That’s no good place to take her. It’s better if she returns to her master’s side.”

Li Qingshan said, “It’s her final wish.”

“Final wish? But she’s still alive?” The corner of Gu Yanying’s lips twitched.



“What!” Li Qingshan was shocked. He checked Xuanyue’s pulse in a hurry, but there really was no pulse. He looked at Gu Yanying in doubt.

Gu Yanying swung the fan in her hand at the sky, and a tornado rushed into the sky. The tornado pierced a great big hole in the thick layer of low-hanging clouds. The silvery-blue moonlight, just like a waterfall, seemed like a beacon that fell from the sky.

It landed on the Ice Sword cliff, on Xuanyue’s body. The surroundings continued to roar with wind and snow, but that small region became tranquil and serene.

Her body shone with a silvery-blue light. Gradually, it became brighter and brighter. Her eyelashes seemed to tremble.

Under Li Qingshan’s shocked gaze, Xuanyue slowly opened her eyes. “Where’s this?” Blinking them, she looked around. “This is… the Ice Sword cliff!”

Li Qingshan could feel her body gradually regain some warmth in his arms. He was taken aback. “What’s this all about?”

Gu Yanying said, “The nine-lives cat daemon’s rubbish innate ability.”

Xuanyue said, “Gu, you’re the rubbish!”

Gu Yanying said, “In a state of death, it’s impossible to put up any resistance at all. Even ordinary people will butcher you and extract your daemon core. If it’s not rubbish, what is it? This time, it was all thanks to… this person.” She was uncertain whether to refer to him as Li Qingshan. He had transformed like this, so he might not want other people to know about his human name!

Xuanyue said, “Big Blacko, did you really bring me up here?”

Big Blacko? The corner of Gu Yanying’s lips curled up.

Li Qingshan fell silent for a moment before roaring out, “You bastard, why didn’t you tell me earlier!?” You made me heart-broken for nothing for so long!

Xuanyue said, “Meowhahahaha. Didn’t I tell you? I won’t die.”

Li Qingshan exhaled deeply. He did not want to pay anymore attention to her, but he felt indescribable joy inside.

At this moment, Xuanyue noticed the two crystalline, frozen tear streaks on Li Qingshan’s face. Her heart was tugged as she extended her hand and touched his face. “Big Blacko, you cried?”

Li Qingshan said, “Don’t flatter yourself. It’s just snow.”

Xuanyue moved closer to Li Qingshan’s face. “Hehe, don’t be so embarrassed. It’s very normal for a pet to cry for his meowster. Oh right, you’ve agreed to call me meowster, so call me that! Call me that!”

“Pet?” Gu Yanying smiled strangely. Was being taken in as a pet by another pet a good fate or a bad fate?





Chapter 102: Starting Over as a Human | Legend of the Great Sage




Li Qingshan checked his hand. There was a bottle of spiritual pills.

Gu Yanying only acted like it had never happened, kicking up a whirlwind with a sweep of her sleeves and taking off into the sky along the rays of moonlight with Xuanyue.

Xuanyue looked back and glanced at Li Qingshan again. Her smile had vanished now, and tears emerged from her lakewater-esque eyes.

“Wait for me! I will definitely be there!” Li Qingshan roared at the sky as loudly as he could.

Xuanyue suddenly looked back. She heard him yell something, but the snowstorm drowned out his words. However, she could read his lips. She saw the three words, wait for me.

Gu Yanying showed surprise as well. The clouds closed below their feet.

On the Ice Sword cliff, the last ray of moonlight disappeared. Li Qingshan remained in the same posture as when he roared at the sky. His roar was a promise to the black ox, to Xuanyue, and to himself.

I will definitely reach beyond the Nine Heavens. I will definitely take you to the Dragon province.

I will definitely find the answer. I will definitely possess strength.

Under the mist, Li Qingshan stood before the waterfall once again. He no longer had the arrogant black ox beside him, nor was the girl bathing in the waterfall before him anymore.

He rubbed Xiao An’s head. At least you’re still by my side.

Without Xuanyue leading the way, he had to rely on his rough memory to return along his original path, coming back to this place. Although he could conceal his aura, he still encountered countless dangers along the way. Only after all of that did he finally return to this waterfall.

Winter had already passed. The world was beginning to bloom.

It felt like an entire lifetime had passed.

In just three short months, someone had told him that the Green Province spanned fifteen thousand kilometers, someone had told him that their objective was to leave the Green province, and finally, someone told him that they were waiting for him beyond the Nine Heavens.

Li Qingshan lowered his head and smiled. He said to Xiao An, “Let's see just where I can reach!” After that, he leapt into the pool of water.

The first thing that Li Qingshan did in the water was not cultivate, but summarise his accumulated experiences and the lessons he had learnt.

The advantages and the disadvantages, his gains and his losses.

A tiny shrimp being involved in a battle between sharks would rarely result in anything good. Just the flecks of meat that slipped between the teeth of the sharks could allow the shrimp to strengthen significantly, but it would probably end up dead as well.

He had survived completely due to the protection of a great sea monster, the black ox. However, this sea monster had already left him, giving him the goal of similarly becoming a great sea monster.

If he wanted to achieve this goal, he could not rely on his luck for surviving. He could not take risks he could not completely grasp. No one had immunity, and even if they did, it would easily shatter before absolute strength.

Not only did he have to possess the unswerving determination of an ox and the boldness of a tiger, but he also needed the depth and tolerance of a spiritual turtle. This form of tolerance was not lying down in the face of humiliation, being a coward and afraid of everything, but maintaining lofty ambitions, enduring what others could not and achieving what others could not.

Perhaps the reason why the black ox had not wiped the Soaring Dragon Elder from existence right from the start was for him to understand this. Anyone could state the great principles of life, but only by experiencing it would they truly understand it and embed it in their heart.

If he had not experienced the despair he felt when he roared out on the sheer cliff face, how was he supposed to understand the value of strength and the point of friends?



He desired even greater power.
