Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 601-Chapter 700)

“Mighty be my king!”


Li Qingshan could not help but reevaluate the strength of the Ten Daemon Kings. They had been crowned as the Ten Daemon Kings several thousand years ago. After another few millennia of accumulation, every single one of them was a terrifying, old monster.

Gu Yanying said, “The Dragon King of Ink Sea has already passed an order for Northmoon to visit the Ink Sea to see him!”

Li Qingshan asked, “Do you think Northmoon should go?”

“I don’t think Northmoon should go.”

“That’s right. I’ll just treat this like I never heard it.”

Li Qingshan nodded with a smile. He would never entrust his personal safety to a powerful existence’s mood, and he hated playing the role of some subject or subordinate the most. He had far too many secrets on him. He might not necessarily be able to fool the dragon king’s eyes.

Of course, he could send his clone to the Ink sea, but something as rude as that would probably just infuriate the Dragon King of Ink Sea. Not every Daemon King was as gentle and forgiving as the Golden Cicada Spirit King and the Great Banyan Tree King. As a result, the best approach was to downright behave like he had never heard it in the first place.

Gu Yanying said, “Then there’s still the second matter. Great Xia has a government office known as the Bureau of Astronomy. I know their supervisor. He’s a muddle-headed old man, but also the most powerful naturalist from the school of Yin-yang across the nine provinces. The Bureau of Astronomy has an arcane treasure known as the Platform of Astronomy. It stands three meters tall, gathering yin and yang qi and the essence of the five elements, forged from meteorite. As long as the old man divines on there, he can basically find out about everything. Jia Zhen just happens to be on relatively good terms with him.”

She brought up the problem that worried Li Qingshan the most in one fell swoop. He frowned and muttered, “The Bureau of Astronomy, the Platform of Astronomy!”

“The old man does not divine for others so easily, much less use the Platform of Astronomy carelessly. Just Jia Zhen alone really won’t be enough to convince him. However, if you add in the Beast King, prince Si Qing, and the imperial clan’s desire to retrieve the Asura Field, that’s enough for him to pay a visit to the Platform of Astronomy and calculate a certain person’s whereabouts.”

“That’s truly terrible.”

“This is a Minor Formation of Five Elements Inversion. It can obscure the heavenly secrets. You cannot leave the vicinity of the formation within for at least the next three months. Combined with your own abilities, you should be able to get away. Oh right, entering the Asura Field will achieve a certain effect too.”

Gu Yanying passed the formation to Li Qingshan.

Li Qingshan pondered silently for a moment. “Let’s just say I bought this from you. We’re in the clear now.”

A formation that could obscure the strongest naturalist of the school of Yin-yang’s divination was definitely invaluable, and what was even more precious was the information she had provided to warn him. If his position had been calculated while he was unaware, even his identity as Li Qingshan could very possibly be exposed.

“It’s no different from lifting a finger for me. We had an agreement before, so of course I should watch your back a little. If you were finished off, who’s supposed to complete the task you promised me?”





Chapter 673: Gazing into the Distance | Legend of the Great Sage




Watching Gu Yanying vanish into the horizon, Li Qingshan contemplated a little longer before returning to the Qing Xiao dwelling. After several years of accumulation from the Eight Gates Formation of Golden Locks, the spiritual qi in the dwelling had become extremely dense. Perhaps it still paled in comparison to top-of-the-line cultivation dwellings, but it was still a great place to cultivate.

Only after casting down the Minor Formation of Five Elements Inversion and obscuring the heavenly secrets did Li Qingshan stop worrying. Afterwards, he entered the Asura Field, and the same lush rainforest and towering tree appeared before him.

“Master.” Night roamers were currently busying about in the rainforest. When they saw Li Qingshan, they all bowed and greeted him.

A shadow drifted over, and Ye Mingzhu appeared before him. She was dressed in the traditional, black armour of night roamers, which was unable to hide her mature and charming body. However, her existence was as flimsy and blurry as a silhouette, giving off a dark and obscured aura. It was as if she could merge away into the darkness at any time.

“Congratulations.” Li Qingshan smiled.

There were even more night roamers and daemons in the depths of the dense jungle. Ye Liusu and Ye Liubo sensed his aura and rushed over. Milliped climbed on a big tree, while Li’l Red and Li’l Blue soaked in a pond within the trees.

When the spirit turtle warned of the impending doom, Li Qingshan gathered all of the night roamers and moved them into the Asura Field. Afterwards, he left behind his clone. Meanwhile, his true body returned underground, moving as many of the night roamers and daemons he came across into the Asura Field as possible before the Beast King arrived.

With the Asura Field that stretched several hundred meters across, holding them was obviously not an issue. The only problem was the influence from the murderous will of the Asura realm. Regular night roamers and daemons could not resist it, making it very easy for them to enter a frenzy.

Even Li Qingshan, the master of the Asura Field, was unable to eliminate this influence, or the Asura Field would no longer be an Asura Field. However, there was a safe region, which was the land the Great Banyan Tree King’s canopy enveloped. Under the Great Banyan Tree King’s powers, even the powers of the Asura realm could not invade the place. The canopy that resembled a green cloud was large enough too.

All of the night roamers and daemons gathered beneath the tree, but they were afraid of getting too close to the tree trunk. Some rash daemons had already experienced the power of the sun vines.

“It’s all thanks to master’s gift!” Ye Mingzhu said politely.

Although she had successfully undergone the second heavenly tribulation, she still refused to show even the slightest rudeness to him. She had considered chasing him away and reclaiming the power over the night roamers once she underwent the heavenly tribulation successfully in the past, but ever since the battle above Moon Court lake, she had given up on this idea.

His strength was well beyond her expectations. He was not an opponent who could be defeated through assassination. Coupled with the fact that he had no actual interest in ruling the night roamers and that Ye Liusu was in power, she was technically in control as her mother, so there was no need to take this risk.

Ye Liusu said, “Master, I want to leave everything regarding the night roamers up to my mother and focus on cultivation for some time.”

“Alright. I’ve always said that you don’t need to spend too much time and energy on these miscellaneous matters. It also makes perfect sense for the strongest to rule. Ye Mingzhu, you can continue with your position as matriarch from today onwards and rule over the Night Roaming folk!”

“Thank you, master.” Ye Mingzhu was overjoyed inside. Her desire for power had already become embedded in her bones.

“How do you feel about this place?” Li Qingshan asked.

“It’s very good. According to the records, night roamers lived in forests like this before we ventured underground!”

Li Qingshan raised his head. The thick jungle that did not see the light of day seemed even darker under the shade of the banyan tree’s canopy, like night. It really did seem very suitable for night roamers to live in. As a result, he asked the Great Banyan Tree King from afar.
