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

His bellow was like a tiger’s roar through the mountainous forests. The chirps and twitters of insects and birds immediately fell silent. The surrounding silence was frightening.

Normally, the tiger demon and ox demon were both suppressed by the spirit turtle, but ever since he condensed a demon heart, they seemed to find a path to leak out. He practised the Demon Suppression Statuary, but right from the first form, it had been “Remorselessness of the Demon Heart”. He had never even considered repressing and restraining his demonic nature, so now that he was set off, he obviously showed his true colours.

“W- what a fierce and crude rule-breaker! How dare you bellow in the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga!”

Eternal Faith pointed at Li Qingshan, experiencing humiliation-turned-anger from being stunned by a person whose cultivation was not even as great as his. He became even more astounded. He had also undergone trials in the Demon Suppression hall before. None of those demonfolk or even Demon Generals could make him feel so pressured.

Li Qingshan took a step forward. Originally, he wanted to mention the Unraging monk’s name, but upon further thought, Master has specially reminded me not to use his reputation. I haven’t even left the mountain, just going from the back of the mountain to the front of the mountain, and I’ll be breaking this vow. That would be rather inappropriate. This person doesn’t want me to become a secular disciple, which is perfect. I’ll just not be one then.

As a result, he smiled. “Do you really think I want to become this nuisance of a secular disciple? I’m not going to stoop to the same level as a little man like you who accepts bribes.” He directly turned around and left. The most important part was establishing his relationship with the Unraging monk as master and disciple anyway. Whether he became a secular disciple truly made no difference.

“Who did you say is a little man?”

Eternal Faith barked. As the primary disciple of the Courtyard of Secular Affairs, he was normally surrounded by secular disciples trying to get on his good side. Never did anyone insult him right in the face. Originally, he wanted to spend his time and make things difficult for Li Qingshan, but he never anticipated Li Qingshan to not care about the identity of a secular disciple at all, leaving as soon as he mentioned it, giving him no opportunity to vent his anger.

Li Qingshan could not even be bothered with answering him. Senior brother Wang opened his mouth to speak, but he was afraid of offending Eternal Faith, so he shut his mouth again in the end. He thought, This kid is far too rash. He’s actually bold enough to offend senior brother Eternal Faith right under Great Buddha mountain. Does he really think the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga is easy to harass and step over like a group of vegetarians? No wait, the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga is vegetarian.

TL: “Do you really think we’re vegetarian?” in Chinese basically means “Do you really think you can just walk all over us?” or “Do you really think we’re easy nuts to crack?” I would normally go with the other translations, but clearly there is also the connection of monks being vegetarians here.



“Stop right there!”

Eternal Faith raised his hand, and a wooden fish flew out from his sleeve, swelling up in the wind until it reached the size of a carriage, hurtling towards Li Qingshan.

Sure enough, Li Qingshan stopped and turned around. As he gazed at the incoming wooden fish, he asked without being fazed at all, “What else do you have to say?” The wooden fish was about to strike him.

“Be careful!” The female cultivator cried out.

It’ll be bad if I end up crushing him to death! Eternal Faith thought.

With a boom, the wooden fish smashed beside Li Qingshan, kicking soil into the air and immediately creating a great pit in the ground.

“You’ve smashed a great hole in this tranquil land of buddhism, great master.” Li Qingshan was fearless as he smiled scornfully.

Eternal Faith thought quickly, If he wants to leave, I really have no excuse to make him stay. If I strike with brute force, I probably won’t be able to explain myself to master. Oh right, I almost forgot the reason why he was sent into the Demon Suppression hall.

Eternal Faith said confidently, “Since you’re not a secular disciple, how dare you intrude upon our Courtyard of Secular Affairs? You’ve already broken the rules of our Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga, and it’s a repeat offence! You must be punished!”

Most of the responsibilities of the Courtyard of Secular Affairs dealt with receiving believers and secular disciples, which was why Li Qingshan had managed to make his way all the way to the hall smoothly, but if a person was determined to punish someone, they could always find a way to do so.

Li Qingshan, does that sound familiar? Don’t tell me you want to pay another visit to the Demon Suppression hall? Eternal Faith thought complacently. You can say I’m borrowing the Dauntless abbot’s wisdom a little.

He immediately managed to piss off Li Qingshan with that. Li Qingshan had been thrown into the Demon Suppression hall for no good reason. Although it was a blessing in disguise in the end, and he benefited quite a lot, he still felt rather unhappy about this, but he had to yield considering he was in their territory.

Now that someone had dared to use this to threaten him, it was basically bearding the lion in its den, provoking the tiger right in his face.

“Who are you supposed to be? You even have the balls to copy the Dauntless monk?” Li Qingshan sneered and strode towards Eternal Faith, radiating with vicious might.

Eternal Faith had originally been brimming with confidence in subduing him, but when the pair of eyes shining with dark-red light glanced at him, he immediately became rather frantic inside. He ordered, “Juniors, capture this rule-breaker!”





Chapter 586: Save Me! | Legend of the Great Sage




The three of them were stunned. They never expected the situation to fall apart like this, where they were about to start fighting over the slightest disagreement.

Even though they dared not offend senior brother Eternal Faith, the person on the other side seemed like a tough nut to crack as well. He was already a genius, and it was rumoured he had an extremely close relationship with “One Will”. Even the small, skinny man who had been echoing Eternal Faith earlier refused to take action carelessly, afraid he would be dragged into some kind of trouble.

As they hesitated, Li Qingshan had already arrived before the steps, his large, tall figure going straight for Eternal Faith.

“Damned rascal, eat my A Blow and a Shout!”

Eternal Faith was overcome with both alarm and anger. The wooden fish mallet suddenly turned into a huge club that resembled a wooden beam, swinging down towards Li Qingshan’s head.

Li Qingshan felt his head ring as if he had been struck. His mind blanked out. He actually felt like he was unable to block this blow.

This strike definitely was not as simple as swinging an arcane artifact. Instead, it was one of the secret techniques of the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga called “A Blow and a Shout”. It was used with blunt weapons. Before the huge club had even hit him, the attack had already struck.

At the same time, wind whistled behind his head. The wooden fish that struck the ground flew back up, and a crack suddenly ran through the centre, opening its huge mouth and trying to swallow Li Qingshan like a huge beast. It emitted a great force of suction.

The wooden fish mallet and the wooden fish were both arcane artifacts, forming a set. They were extremely powerful, which only demonstrated the heritage of the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga and Eternal Faith’s wealth. This strike alone was basically enough to vanquish all regular Foundation Establishment cultivators.
