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

Their powers were so great that even the Hungry Ghost realm struggled to keep them suppressed.

The Marquis of Ruyi’s Seal of Mountains and Rivers relied on the power of belief. Han Anguo was a powerful cultivator of the body, so he relied on himself, while Gu Yanying’s atmospheric winds, just like the underground magnetic field, was an extremely special existence.



Having grabbed nothing, the withered hand was suddenly lifted up into the air, shaking off the Seal of Mountains and Rivers and retreating back into the Gate of Hungry Ghosts. The three of them retreated from the range of the hand. The three of them had only caught the withered hand off-guard, but even their combined attack failed to heavily injure a mere arm of his.

Although they could be regarded as the best of the best among second heavenly tribulation cultivators, they were still lacking a lot if they wanted to properly contest against the Corpse King.

In a triangular formation, they surrounded the Gate of Hungry Ghosts.

Gu Yanying said, “Her highness the Dark Queen will be here shortly!

The three of them had originally been waiting to receive the Dark Queen in the commandery city of Ruyi. None of them expected this to happen, so they rushed over here immediately. They obviously contacted the Dark Queen too.

“Good!” Han Anjun nodded, and the Marquis of Ruyi eased up too.

Technically speaking, the Dark Queen had reached the peak of the second heavenly tribulation a long time ago, but due to certain reasons, she had never been able to break through, preventing her from reaching the realm of “kings”, so why would the three of them place such great trust in her?

It was all because the Umbral Yin sect was known for their ghost control techniques, and they were closely connected to the Hungry Ghost realm. It was said that the sect possessed a controllable Gate of Hungry Ghosts that was specially provided for disciples to train and cultivate in.

There was nothing strange about that. The six realms of sa?sāra had always been omnipresent. Just like how the school of Legalism drew power from the Hell realm to cultivate, allowing them to use techniques like the Hell of Ice, the school of the Military also borrowed strength from the Asura realm that dictated warfare and slaughter.

Gu Yanying could not help but think of an extremely widespread rumor among the upper echelon of the Green province cultivation community.

If the Umbral Yin sect faced a devastating disaster, then they would open the Gate of Hungry Ghosts to the limit regardless of the consequences, such that no one would be able to seal it. They would allow countless Corpse Kings and Ghost Kings to flood the nine provinces, turning the World of the Nine Provinces into a part of the Hungry Ghost realm.

As it seemed, it was very likely for this rumor to be true. And, the Umbral Yin sect had probably spread this rumor intentionally, turning it into the strongest form of deterrence.

After the establishment of Great Xia and the ushering of an age where the “righteous path” prevailed and the “demonic path” diminished, it was not without reason that the Umbral Yin sect that had once been the greatest demonic sect in the Green province could remain and prosper.

Most importantly, this deterrence was not a furious attempt at mutual destruction. According to the cultivation methods of the Umbral Yin sect, even if the Hungry Ghost realm truly descended, the disciples of the Umbral Yin sect would still be able to survive. As for the other cultivators, they would have to die first.

Thinking up to there, Gu Yanying shifted her gaze and looked at Li Qingshan again.

The Dark Queen’s visit this time is closely related to this kid. She’s even brought an old acquaintance of his with her. So what is all of this for? Don’t tell me it’s actually connected to that?

Li Qingshan looked back and met her eyes, but Gu Yanying had already shifted her gaze away with a smile. He lowered his head, feeling slightly uneasy inside.

When he heard the two words “Dark Queen” being mentioned from afar, he immediately recalled the endless wind and snow on the Ice Sword cliff, as well as that cat that had somehow become his master.

Don’t tell me Xuanyue is going to be here?





Chapter 542: Revival | Legend of the Great Sage




Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The mountainous Seal of Mountains and Rivers flew high into the air before falling again loudly.

The ground shook, and the hills collapsed. Wherever it reached, Corpse Soldiers were all crushed or sent flying, leaving behind huge words on the ground.

Having lost the leadership of the Corpse Generals, the million-strong army immediately fell into disunity. In the blink of an eye, most of them had been wiped out.

He fought an army of a million alone. Just saying that was breathtaking, let alone witnessing it in person.

In the presence of a beauty, the Marquis of Ruyi obviously had to properly show off.

If she had been an ordinary woman, then she definitely would have been swept off her feet by such a lofty approach.

Strength had always been the greatest charm of a man.

Gu Yanying watched with a smile and said nothing.

She held a bronze coin in her hands hidden within her sleeves. It constantly rolled and jerked between her ten slender fingers as she tried divining.

She was slightly surprised. According to the divination, the situation was supposed to become even more dangerous for some reason.

At the same time, Li Qingshan also sensed the omen of warning rapidly increasing, gradually reaching the cusp of danger.

That’s strength. The million-strong army has been destroyed, and the withered hand has been forced back into the Hungry Ghost realm. It hasn’t sent out any more soldiers either. Once the Dark Queen arrives and we seal up this Gate of Hungry Ghosts, wouldn’t it all be over? There must be something else!

Gu Yanying looked back, into the distance.

A splendid carriage glided across the horizon.

The four large, fine horses that pulled the carriage were all half-transparent. Their hair drifted about like drizzling rain as they moved lithely and silently. They were fast and agile.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted up, revealing a cold noble face that gazed in the direction of Burial Mound mountain. A cat’s head poked out from beside her, also looking with her.

The Dark Queen frowned slightly. She had never thought it would have opened to such a degree already in such a short amount of time. The rate at which the six realms of sa?sāra eroded the worlds was increasing.

Seeing the Marquis of Ruyi’s actions, the Dark Queen’s expression changed slightly. Oh no.

A million Corpse Soldiers and a hundred Corpse Generals had all died in this hilly region. They had been killed, but the corpse qi in their bodies permeated the surroundings, shrouding it with a layer of thick, black mist.

The land strewn with corpses vaguely resembled the sight of the Hungry Ghost realm that Li Qingshan had witnessed.

The dark clouds and mist in the air suddenly began to withdraw. It gushed into the Gate of Hungry Ghosts even faster than when it erupted out.

Fierce winds surged and the surroundings cleared and brightened up.

Liu Zhangqing and the other cultivators became relieved. As it seemed, the Corpse King was at the end of his wits and chose to give up.



Li Qingshan and Hua Chengzan exchanged a glance, both shocked.

They had personally witnessed how the Gate of Hungry Ghosts had opened, how it first sucked away all the yin qi and corpse qi on Burial Mound mountain.

This was definitely not giving up, but the signs before an even more intense eruption.

“Be careful!”

The ground trembled like a primordial being was awakening from its slumber to destroy this world.

Suddenly, Li Qingshan realised something. Perhaps this was all the Corpse King’s plan. The several million Corpse Soldiers and the hundred Corpse Generals were all just sacrifices.
