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

“What’s so good about that Li Qingshan anyway? It’s been so long and you’ve heard nothing from him. He hasn’t even written you a letter.”


Han Anguo said coldly, “He personally slew four Daemon Generals, all while fighting alone. He has even been promoted to the Scarlet Hawk commander of the Clear River prefecture now. Before you complain about others, why don’t you check yourselves first?”

They were immediately silenced, but they were still extremely unconvinced. That’s just because we never had the opportunity. Once this Li Qingshan comes, we’ll definitely see who’s stronger.

Han Qiongzhi was slightly surprised. She had spent her entire time in secluded cultivation so that she could break through to Foundation Establishment. She had only found out now that Li Qingshan had already become the Scarlet Hawk commander, but she was happy nonetheless considering her uncle was praising him.

“Qingshan, you better come soon!”





Chapter 510: Gift and Choices | Legend of the Great Sage




The endless underground river that Li Qingshan had discovered was not the only one—it was only one of them—and they criss-crossed with one another like a spider’s web.

After comprehending the wonders of the Spirit Turtle Suppresses the Seas, his ambition began to swell. He was no longer content with refining this underground river. The range would exceed his territory, but were there any Daemon Generals bold enough to stop him?

As a result, whenever he encountered a fork, he would split his daemon qi. Even with the divine powers of the spirit turtle, this process still became extremely slow.

However, he was in no hurry, pushing forwards slowly so that he could construct a huge, underground net of water for himself.

At the top of Cobweb city in the dark chambers, a snowy-white figure was vaguely visible through the layers of curtains.

Lolth laid on her bed, completely unclothed. Her crimson lips parted slightly, spitting out a thread as her ten fingers flew about. Even her eight legs waved around in a dazzling array. The spider silk was constantly spun and twisted as if she was weaving something.

She was serious and focused. Although she was naked, there was nothing erotic about it at all. She seemed extremely natural.

At the same time, her cold, noble, and ruthless bearing had completely vanished.

Right now, she seemed more like a craftsman, an artisan, carefully tending to her creation, having forgotten about the world outside. There were no distractions from the outside world that could influence her.

However, Li Qingshan’s act of refining water systems en masse still ended up alarming her.

Lolth raised her head and clearly sensed Li Qingshan’s daemon qi spread and permeate the surroundings. She bit her crimson lips gently. A spiteful light flashed through her eyes, but it vanished in an instant. She lowered her head again and continued focusing on the work at hand.

Actually, this was the way a spider killed—spending lengthy amounts of time on preparation for the moment of surprise when the prey stepped into the net.

……

“Croak croak! Great king! Great king!”

The ice frog leapt around in Li Qingshan’s hand. The ice spring it occupied was also a source of a water system that Li Qingshan wanted to refine.

Li Qingshan smiled. “Looks like you’re almost up to that step, so let me lend you some assistance.”

The ice frog had always been one of the strongest daemon soldiers under Li Qingshan’s command, and it seemed to possess a rather special bloodline, which was why it could use the power of ice.

Even a few years ago, it was already very close to the Daemon General realm. After a few years of arduous cultivation, it had basically arrived at the cusp. However, the time required for the actual breakthrough would still be calculated using years.

However, Li Qingshan took out the Water God Seal and pointed at it gently, drawing out a thread of blue light and pouring it into the ice frog’s head.

Immediately, the ice frog radiated with resplendent, blue light. The extreme coldness from the daemon core within its body permeated the surroundings.

With a plonk, the ice frog turned around and leapt into the ice spring.

“You better turn into a beauty to pay me back!”

Li Qingshan sniggered. He felt the ground tremble slightly, and the spring suddenly lit up, shining with the glow of lightning. Afterwards, it flickered and grew brighter and brighter.

Quite a while later, the trembling gradually subsided, and the glow of lightning slowly dimmed.



A delicate young man with icy-blue hair crawled out from the spring. He said, “Croak croak! thanks, great king!”

After a careful inspection, Li Qingshan confirmed he was indeed a young man and not a young woman. He said in disappointment, “Fine then. Looks like I’m unlucky. I’ll give you a name. You can be… Li’l Blue! Sigh, let’s hope Li’l Red is female.”

Abiding to his absolutely tasteless naming style, Li Qingshan casually named the ice frog “Li’l Blue”. As for the “great name” of “Li’l Red”, he had also come up with it on the spot. He felt like it suited the huge red carp very well.

“Croak, croak! Alright!”

The ice frog of the past, or Li’l Blue right now, obviously had no objections. He still did not have an idea of which human names were good or bad. Only until many years later did he come to understand, but when he began to resent it, it was already too late.

Li Qingshan directed Li’l Blue to swim upstream and continue cultivating in Moon Court lake. Afterwards, he conveniently flooded the spring with daemon qi, completing the refinement of another water system.

Right when he wanted to continue with his journey, he felt a familiar aura rapidly grow closer. Li Qingshan smiled and withdrew all of his aura, taking a step back and merging with the rock wall.

A figure stepped out of the darkness. Ye Liusu arrived by the spring. She wore a luxurious, black cape as she wore a silver circlet. A silver, crescent moon hung on her forehead, which made her seem mysterious and noble.

She looked around, unable to hide her anticipation, but she failed to find Li Qingshan and became slightly disappointed.

“Are you looking for me?”

Suddenly, a hand hugged her from behind. Her body tensed up before relaxing again, leaning in his arms softly.

“Master, I- I sensed your daemon qi.”

Afterwards, I left behind the group of night roamers to directly come and see you. Her face heated up slightly as she felt something she had never felt before. She felt extremely peaceful in his arms. Her exhaustion from dealing with the schemes of all the night roamers faded away silently.

“How has your great cause of unification been going?”

“It’s been alright, because master…”

“You should change the way you refer to me! That doesn’t suit you.”

Li Qingshan smiled. Although making the proud, independent Ye Liusu call him master was something that made him very happy, it was exactly because of this that she could never be like Ye Liubo and call him that from the bottom of her heart, filled with true feelings.

“That’s… not really a good idea!” Ye Liusu hesitated and turned around, looking at Li Qingshan with twinkling eyes. “I just won’t call you master when no one’s around, alright?”

“Whatever you want.”

Ye Liusu smiled faintly, taking the initiative to wrap her arms around his neck and offering up a kiss in a rather bashful and inexperienced manner. She stopped very quickly as her eyes were filled with undisguisable affection.

She did not want to remain as only a servant to him. When she chose to abandon everything and wander the world with him, she understood what she wanted. This wish had only intensified, and he had heard her voice inside, feeling extremely happy.

“Do you want your gift?” Li Qingshan smiled.

“Yep.”

Ye Liusu possessed none of the power and prestige of the past great king Ye Liusu right now. The coldness and resolve she showed in front of the night roamers had completely vanished. She was as docile as a teenage girl in love.

“Then close your eyes.”
