Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 501-Chapter 600)

Rarely do we come across such a suitable opponent, so let’s just leave him for Xiao An to demonstrate her skills. We killed our way over here. Those two damn, peeping monks should be satisfied now!

The Dauntless monk and Unraging monk were not just satisfied. They basically felt rather overjoyed. In the world of cultivation, studying under a renowned master or joining a large sect was not easy, but finding a genius disciple was very difficult too.

Not only did the two of them have quite the destiny with buddhism, but they were skilled in fighting and killing too. They would definitely strengthen the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga’s renown in this age of chaos.

This came off as rather conflicting. After all, in the eyes of the secular world, monks were supposed to cleanse themselves of all desires and embrace benevolence. However, if that were all to the monks of the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga, then the current Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga would not exist anymore, nor would they have to use a brutal place of slaughter like the Demon Suppression hall to train their disciples.

Even the buddha had to unleash a lion’s roar to subdue the demons of heresy, to have his statue gilded in gold and revered by the living creatures, let alone these disciples and grand disciples under him.

However, while the Dauntless monk was satisfied with Xiao An, the one who caught the Unraging monk’s eye was instead Li Qingshan. Gazing at Li Qingshan who stood before the sixth Demon Suppression statue, the Unraging monk thought to himself.

The Demon Suppression Statuary, oh the Demon Suppression Statuary. I originally thought it was a great fortune left behind by that senior for me, but I never thought I’d still be able to meet you. We’re basically master and disciple designated by the heavens. Kid, even if you don’t want to accept me as your master this time, it won’t be up to you to decide.





Chapter 578: The Sixth Layer of the Guardian King | Legend of the Great Sage




Xiao An obviously understood what Li Qingshan was implying. She half-closed her eyes and nodded her head as she chanted silently. The golden light from the avatar grew brighter and brighter as the sounds of recited scriptures seemed to ring out.

Lietu gripped his sword firmly, completely on edge. Before him stood a formidable enemy he rarely encountered.

What’s she doing?

Just as the Dauntless monk was rather confused, Xiao An gave him an answer. The golden avatar suddenly erupted with light, and it actually started showing signs of melting away. Golden liquid poured down from the beautiful face.

“She’s breaking through!”

The Dauntless monk was mildly surprised. He never thought Xiao An would choose to break through on the spot when she was confronting an enemy. A disposition like that was impressive, but she would be greatly disadvantaged if she failed.

The golden avatar was like a man of wax in fire, melting to a blurry, humanoid clump. Xiao An practised the Guardian King’s Scripture of Demon Subdual silently, and the golden avatar gradually began to condense again, consolidating once more. The avatar became even more refined and exquisite, having broken through to the fifth layer of the Guardian King’s Scripture of Demon Subdual, reaching “mid Foundation Establishment”.

The Dauntless monk smiled. The surprises that this child had brought him were endless. If this continued, she could reach peak Foundation Establishment before the age of twenty, and she had a chance at becoming the head monk of a courtyard before the age of thirty. Even throughout the entire history of the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga, there had only been a handful of such peerless geniuses.

At this moment, he had made up his mind completely to toss aside all of his doubts and guide her properly so that she could accept the benevolence of the buddha.

The golden avatar reflected in Lietu’s eyes, which made his irises narrow. He felt the threat become even greater, also realising that the opponent had just broken through earlier, which made him feel regretful. He had been far too careful. If he had known beforehand, he would have used this opportunity to launch an attack and catch her off-guard.

It was too late for regret now. His sword was directed towards her, poised to strike.

However, Xiao An closed her eyes once again.

“What’s she doing this time?”

The Dauntless monk was taken aback before seeing the golden avatar that Xiao An had just condensed melt away once more. Surely she was not breaking through again!

Even with everything the Dauntless monk had witnessed in his life, he had no idea what to say. He had seen audacious people before, but never had he seen someone so audacious. He had seen talented geniuses before, but never had he seen a genius so talented.

“Not so easy!”

Lietu howled fiercely. How could he simply let her continue with her breakthroughs? The Evil Eye sword swiveled in his hand, and the eye targeted Xiao An. It emitted pulsating rings before releasing a streak of black light from the bulging centre.

Xiao An raised one hand and formed a seal, resplendent like a lotus flower. At the same time, she lifted the Wheel of the Wisdom King’s Glare with her other hand, which emitted a streak of golden light.

The golden light collided with the black light, and the buddhist light and demonic energy clashed violently in the air, constantly wearing each other away and emitting a strange, sharp drone. It spread out into a wall of light between them.

The energy that leaked out surged like ripples, sweeping across the entire square. It completely crushed the Demon Generals who continued to hold onto their last gasp, turning them into dust. In the end, only sturdy demon hearts remained where they were. Most of them were like pebbles, but there were a few that were slightly shiny.

What is she? She can actually devote all of her attention to breaking through while holding off an opponent? Or is that merely a diversion?

Lietu was not a timid coward, but when he fought Xiao An, he had to keep an eye over Li Qingshan behind him. Although Li Qingshan had said he would not fight, how could Lietu, a demonfolk, trust a promise from the opponent?

Whatever. I’ll kill her first. Demonify!

Lietu made up his mind and released turbulent demon qi. His hair began to flutter in the air as his body swelled up. His limbs extended, becoming abnormally long.



His face twisted into a triangle as the midline running down his face protruded like the ridge of a sword. A sturdy layer covered his eyes, which shone with a sharp light. At the same time, his nose became two, long slits. A single horn that resembled a sword protruded from his forehead, stabbing into the sky. It seemed like he had put on a strange mask.

His entire body resembled a mask, shining with a metallic lustre like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath.

He swung his sword backwards, and his body tilted forwards, shooting towards Xiao An like a launched javelin. He actually ignored the threat of the Wheel of the Wisdom King’s Glare.

Golden light shot out, sweeping past Lietu, but it dimmed drastically after penetrating his protective demon qi. In the end, it only left behind some singes, unable to pierce him so easily.

In a flash, the Evil Eye swung over. It was still over three meters away, but the whistling of sword qi directly pierced the ears; it was as chilling as the shrieks of countless ghosts.

If the sword landed, she would not emerge unscathed even with the golden avatar’s protection. Moreover, she was currently breaking through. Not only was she unable to dodge, but her golden avatar basically had no defensive power either. As it seemed, breaking through on the spot had not been the correct decision.

Xiao An waved the Wheel of the Wisdom King’s Glare. The melted, golden fluid flowed into it, turning into a hilt and a blade and recondensing a vajra sword.

A complicated and magnificent pattern covered the golden sword, with a few simple and elegant glyphs engraved on there. It completely merged with the Wheel of the Wisdom King’s Glare, but it had never seemed so complete and compatible before. It was as if the two were one object in the first place.
