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

Li Qingshan’s heart thumped vigorously, transporting the mysterious power in the phoenix feather to every inch of his body through his blood vessels. It scorched like fire.

Li Qingshan could not help but stand up. As the power danced wildly, he raised his head and legs unconsciously, filled with a wondrous sense of beauty. He moved his arms like a phoenix flapping its wings.

His surroundings became filled with dazzling red light, illuminating the entire dwelling.

Only quite a while later did the red light gradually subside. Li Qingshan landed on the ground and clutched his thumping heart as he felt extremely happy.

A powerful life force filled his body. He was now confident that if he fought with Lolth again, he would definitely be able to maintain the upper hand.

With the Phoenix’s Scripture of Nirvā?a, he had finally refined the phoenix feather, now possessing a shred of the phoenix’s bloodline. Although he had yet to truly reach the first layer of the Phoenix Transformation, he believed as long as he returned underground and condensed the phoenix’s embryo again in the endless sea of fire, he would definitely succeed!

Right when Li Qingshan was about to set off, the spirit turtle’s daemon core suddenly responded violently. He immediately understood what was going on. Someone is using divination to calculate my position. Those old coots really aren’t going to let me go this easily!

Li Qingshan snorted coldly. He settled his mind and shut his eyes.

Under the eager gaze from four pairs of eyes, the compass spun rapidly.

Feng Buquan’s forehead became covered in sweat, but he was unable to find the moon demon’s location at all, The target should be in possession of a method to conceal the heavenly secrets!

As the spirit turtle dove into the abyss, no one knew where it was.

However, Feng Buquan refused to give up so easily, as he could sense the sliver of an opening in the target’s power, like a ray of light in the darkness.

Li Qingshan frowned. He had suppressed the spirit turtle’s power, which allowed him to refine the phoenix feather. As his comprehension of the Spirit Turtle’s Method of Sea Suppression deepened, he had basically limited the spirit turtle’s repulsion as much as he could.

Normally, nothing about it felt wrong, but in an intense clash of heavenly secrets, it would show itself. His bloodline raged, and his daemon qi surged.

It was like a pebble in a shoe. It was not fatal, but it did feel horrible.

Xiao An held the Bamboo-Jade Lot of the Cloud Bookcase and touched Li Qingshan’s forehead gently with it, practising the Cloud Bookcase of the Seven Lots and immediately patching up the opening.



Li Qingshan opened his eyes and let out a sigh of relief. He smiled.

The compass stopped spinning. Feng Buquan’s expression stiffened and his mouth hung agape, completely unaware of the dribbling drool.

The scholar in white asked in a hurry, “Fellow Feng, how’s it?”

As if he had been electrocuted, yet also like he had just woken up from a nightmare, Feng Buquan lurched up. He bounded around like a large, strange monkey as he called out madly.

“I’ve found it! I’ve found it!”

Wen Zhengming asked, “Fellow Feng, you’ve found where the wretched daemon is hiding?”

Feng Buquan suddenly grabbed Wen Zhengming by the shoulders. He gripped him so firmly that even Wen Zhengming experienced an ache of pain. He stared at Feng Buquan in shock, only to see a muddy tear roll out of his blind eye, while his good eye was filled with wild joy.

“I want to see her highness the Dark Queen!”

Many years ago, he had also been searching for a person and there had also been many thanks.

The clash of heavenly secrets, the entanglement of ties of gratitude and grievances, was like yesterday, still vivid before his eyes.

The person he was searching for was like a kite hidden within a sea of clouds, with all of their heavenly secrets concealed.

He had managed to grasp a trace after so much difficulty, only for a fierce gust of wind to bombard him.

The string of the kite snapped, hurling into the sky and vanishing for good. Originally, he thought it had already fallen to the ground somewhere, becoming a regret he was unable to forget or correct.

Never did he think that the obscure string would appear before him once again today.

If it were not for these deep ties of fortune, he almost would have forgotten it. It was exactly because of such deep ties that he vehemently believed he had not mistaken it.

This was the will of the heavens!

“Fellow Feng, fellow Feng!”

The scholar in white called out his name several times, and Feng Buquan returned to his senses. He wiped away the tear on his face. Under the amazed gazes of the four grandmasters, he discovered that his twisted spine had straightened out before he knew it.

“With how overjoyed you were, have you discovered the location of the wretched daemon, fellow Feng?” Wen Zhengming asked in confusion. Surely he did not have to cry with joy over something like that.

“The wretched daemon? Oh right, I didn’t. All heavenly secrets that point to him have been shrouded. I can’t predict his location.”

Feng Buquan secretly felt some regret. He should not have lost his composure like that earlier, even calling out “her highness the Dark Queen”. If an observant person heard that, the consequences would be unthinkable.

“I’ve let down the marquis and the heavy responsibility he’s placed on me. I am ashamed to return, so please apologise for me, grandmasters!” He clasped his hands. Although he was as disfigured as before, his straight posture vaguely possessed some of his past gracefulness again.

Feng Buquan drifted away. The four grandmasters looked at one another as they were unsure what had happened with Feng Buquan.

However, they could not return like this and seek help from the Marquis of Ruyi again. They would come off as far too useless. As a result, they began to discuss among themselves.

“The night roamers must have fled underground. Why don’t we go underground and hunt them down so that we force the wretched daemon to show himself?”

“Demons are all heartless. Why would he risk his life for a few night roamers? It probably won’t be that simple.”

The scholar in white said, “That’s fine too. There are quite a lot of daemons in this underground region! The spider daemon Lolth passed down orders to massacre cities. She’s a great threat who’s committed many sins. Even if we can’t kill the moon demon, we can still report back to the commandery governor if we exterminate all the wretched daemons in this region and kill Lolth!”

……

Under Xiao An’s company, Li Qingshan returned to the lake of magma again. The fire spiritual energy was most intense there, which had a very powerful suppressing effect on the spirit turtle’s daemon core. It was most suitable for a breakthrough of the Phoenix’s Scripture of Nirvā?a.

The heavy smell of sulfur and the surging, golden-yellow magma formed a never-changing landscape, and the violent fluctuations in the magnetic field were alarming.

If it were not for their past contact, Li Qingshan basically would have never believed that Golden Cicada could remain in a place like this.

The Golden Cicada Spirit King truly lived up to his name!



Li Qingshan waited for a while. No voice rang out in his sea of consciousness, so he nodded at Xiao An and leapt into the magma. He did not use his daemon qi to protect his body. In a place like this, even mobilising his daemon qi had become difficult.

The scorching sensation of the magma against his skin ached slightly, but it was extremely satisfying too.

It made him think of the sensation of a hot shower. At the same time, a power resonated with his bloodline. This was something he had not felt the last time he came here.

Li Qingshan simply spread out his arms and laid on the surface of the lake. His scarlet hair dispersed as the flames swept over like snakes, licking his body.

It swallowed and enveloped his body very soon.
