Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 401-Chapter 500)

Hua Chengzan said, “Senior Zhou, if we really can talk with the moon demon, we might not necessarily be unable to retrieve the Lightning Slaughter sword.”


There was nothing Zhou Tong could say with that. He was not a sword cultivator, but to him, the Lightning Slaughter sword was worth no less than the Green Ruins sword to Fu Qingjin, as it was a crucial item for surviving his second heavenly tribulation. No matter how ill-tempered he was, he could not neglect his own life.

Hua Chengzan said, “Then let’s see how the daemons respond.”

At this moment, a powerful aura rushed into the air.

Wei Yangsheng opened the window and took a look. He smiled. “Junior brother Chu has reached Foundation Establishment!”

Liu Zhangqing beamed inside. Just like that, his school of Confucianism had gained another Foundation Establishment cultivator. Hearing Chu Tian shout Li Qingshan’s name, he sighed. “He still can’t let go of his grievance with Qingshan.”

Wang Pushi said, “Where has that kid run off to recently anyway? Even when we message him, he doesn’t respond.”

Hua Chengzan said, “He’s probably cultivating in the Chain mountains. He might have reached an important point, so he can’t reply… Hmm? Chu Tian seems to be flying off in the direction of the Chain mountains!”

“Let’s go take a look! We can’t let them fight to the death!” However, what Liu Zhangqing implied was giving them another opportunity to see who was stronger.



Chu Tian was a disciple of confucianism after all. Having been defeated so many times, even Liu Zhangqing became embarrassed. Now that he had attained an initial mastery over the Palm of the Five Elements, he should be able to win for once and redeem some of his lost pride.

All Ru Xin saw were streaks of light rising up from Contention island, with Liu Zhangqing in the lead.

“There’s going to be trouble now.”





Chapter 484: The Guardian King Subdues Demons | Legend of the Great Sage




Dark clouds wrapped round the Chain mountains, drenching the verdant shrubbery.

The lingering clouds and mist hovered between the mountains, moving with the wind and rain.

Rain water flowed down the stone plate with the three words “Qing Xiao’s Home” engraved.

Behind the heavy stone door was a large, empty cavern. White flames burned upwards, like an upside down waterfall of fire.

Unlike regular flames, they were peaceful and quiet, giving off no sensation of heat at all. Instead, they were indescribably, bone-chillingly cold.

Twenty skulls surged up and down in the flames, opening their mouths and closing their jaws, creating a chatter. It sounded like a soul-stealing song from hell, yet it also sounded like the chanting of countless monks.

It was evil and sacred, eerie and majestic.

The source of the flames was Xiao An. Her seaweed-like hair rippled like the fire. It was like the flames and skulls all came from her imagination.

Xiao An formed a seal with her hands as she chanted a sutra. She seemed like a meditating monk at first glance, but the seal was not a buddhist seal, and the sutra was not a buddhist sutra.

Suddenly, she pointed at the sky, and all the flames condensed with that. All the skulls gathered together, revolving above her head. She opened her mouth and spat out a white prayer bead. As it spun around, it turned into a huge skull, pure-white and shiny, glimmering with light.

The lustre of the other twenty prayer beads improved with that, becoming even more powerful.

Xiao An waved her hand conveniently and the twenty-one skulls turned into twenty-one prayer beads, returning to her wrist and forming a string.

She had finally taken another step forward with the demonic artifact of white bone, the Skull Prayer Beads. At the same time, she had completely consolidated the first layer of the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty, advancing with her cultivation.

The twenty-one prayer beads represented the ten bhūmi, the ten pāramitā and buddhahood of buddhism. In her hands, they obviously possessed a completely different implication. Those who were not well-versed in buddhism would not be able to understand.

TL: I believe the twenty-one prayer beads basically represent the different steps to buddhist enlightenment. The ten bhūmi are ten different steps, while the ten pāramitā are ten different qualities that enlightened beings possess.

On the surface, the string of prayer beads shone with pure, buddhist light. They were righteous, legitimate buddhist artifacts.

She casually picked up a prayer bead and that was enough to rival the strength of an arcane artifact. Any single Skeleton Demon was enough to kill regular Foundation Establishment cultivators. Under her mental control, the twenty-one Skeleton Demons could fight alongside her with their minds connected, which endowed them with even more startling power.

It was possible to say that she alone was equivalent to an army of cultivators. She could influence the division of power within the entire prefecture.

Xiao An thought of Li Qingshan and became slightly uneasy. She immediately took out the Bamboo-Jade Lot of the Cloud Bookcase and used the Cloud Bookcase of the Seven Lots to practise divination.

Before long, she received the results, which made her expression change slightly.

The divination revealed that Li Qingshan was in danger. He was basically surrounded with killing intent and an aura of death. He was in dire straits.

Xiao An immediately climbed to her feet, but she heard calls and curses from outside.

“Li Qingshan, get out here! I know you’re in there!”



Chu Tian used the Palm of the Five Elements and sent it towards the entrance of the dwelling. Five kinds of spiritual qi—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—rose and fell in an endless cycle.

In the beginning, the hand flickering with five-coloured light was only a few meters across. As it rapidly absorbed the spiritual qi of the world, it reached several dozen meters across in the blink of an eye, slamming against the Eight Gates Formation of Golden Locks and producing a great boom that echoed through the mountains.

The Eight Gates Formation of Golden Locks obviously could not be destroyed so easily, but the person inside was unable to sit still anymore with the disturbance.

Sure enough, the door to the dwelling opened loudly a while later.

A slender figure walked out. Xiao An scanned around, and her gaze skimmed past the mountains wrapped in mist, landing on Chu Tian. She hid a white bone sword in her sleeve, deciding to kill this person first.

Chu Tian felt his head buzz. He directly became dumbstruck. So beautiful. That was beauty he was unable to describe. He had spent his entire life as an unrestrained romantic, having lovers everywhere, but this was the first woman that had managed to make him fall in love at first sight. If he could obtain her, he was willing to pay any price.

Xiao An had never been one to blabber. Since she had made up her mind, she immediately went about it.

But at this moment, a few streaks of light shot over from the horizon.

“Chu Tian, don’t be impulsive!” Liu Zhangqing called out.

The bellow finally made Chu Tian return to his senses. He clasped his hands. “I’m Chu Tian. May I ask for your esteemed name, ma’am? If I have disturbed you, please forgive me!”

Xiao An said nothing. She considered whether she should kill all the people here and then rush off to help Li Qingshan. No matter where she wanted to go right now, she probably could not shake off these people, which would only increase their suspicion.

Perhaps there were a few acquaintances of Li Qingshan among them, but to her, Li Qingshan took priority over everything else. Even if he would scold her after this, she still would not bat an eye.
