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

“Qiongzhi, your Qingshan is basically at peak Foundation Establishment already, right? He sure does cultivate at an alarming speed. I heard back then that you were the one who proposed the marriage, junior sister Han. Your insight sure is admirable! You got any clever tricks you can teach me? Recently, my family is also pressuring me into getting married. They’re clearly looking down on me!”


Ding Min said in distress. Ever since Han Qiongzhi became a White Wolf guard, she had been the one who led her around to familiarise with the surroundings. As a result, the two of them became good friends. She also came from an aristocratic clan. If she were unable to advance any further on the path of cultivation, then she would be burdened with the responsibility of fostering descendants for the clan.

“What insight could I have? I just liked him, that’s all.” Han Qiongzhi drew her gaze back from Li Qingshan and smiled valiantly. “You know how I’m like, Ding sis. If something catches my heart, I stop caring about everything else.”

“Then that’s your good fortune. I sure am jealous of Qian Rongzhi! Gu Yanying actually accepted her as a disciple. Your Qingshan is favoured by the commander too, so why don’t you just beg him to ask commander Gu to accept you as a disciple too! Guiding one is no different from guiding two after all!”

“I hate begging people the most, and I don’t want him to beg others for me either.”

“You blockhead!”

Li Qingshan arrived among the ranks of the Clear River prefecture and nodded towards Chu Danqing, expressing that all was fine. Afterwards, he stood beside Liu Zhangqing and waited quietly for the ceremony to begin. The people beside him could see he was in thought and had no interest in talking, so they did not disturb him. He readily embraced this peace and placed all of his focus on his clone.

Under Northmoon’s enthusiastic request, Si Qing arranged for some female dancers to perform. He did not have any interest in such things, but Jiang Fu had kept quite a lot of people like that in the estate. When he inherited the position of Marquis of Ruyi, they had come in the process, so he was able to gather enough people on the spot, albeit after some difficulty.

Northmoon continued to sit with Si Qing, crossing his legs without the slightest amount of self-consciousness, picking up Si Qing’s alcohol cup and drinking from it without even batting an eye. Though, he did not use Si Qing’s chopsticks, just directly using his bare hands to grab the food. He watched attentively as he drank, his eyes glued to the dancers’ special parts as if he wanted to swallow them all in one gulp.

Si Qing was unhappy inside, but seeing how Northmoon behaved, he exchanged glances with Jia Zhen and E Dan and exhibited a sense of joy like his scheme had succeeded. Whether it was humans or demons, they could be controlled as long as they had desires.

Gu Yanying laughed inside. This kid sure knows how to act!



Big sis, you said Northmoon is impressive, but he doesn’t seem special at all to me. You better be careful just in case he gets pulled to Si Qing’s side and works with him to deal with you! Si Bao said to Gu Yanying with some worry.

“I know what to do.”

“Heh. Big sis, as long as you flaunt your beauty a little, you’ll make this Northmoon change sides mid-battle!”

“You’ll be underestimating him a little too much if that’s what you think.”

E Dan smiled at Northmoon. “How are these women? Are any to your liking?”

“The women aren’t bad, but the songs they sing are all so soft. It’s completely powerless. I feel drowsy from listening to it!”

“Oh? I didn’t think you’d understand music so well? Then what has a sense of power? Don’t tell me it’s the roar of wild beasts?” Si Qing smiled.

The cultivators could not help but smile. To think that even uncivilised daemons would blindly criticise the music of humans. He was basically asking to be humiliated. The moon demon was very powerful, but they still possessed a natural sense of superiority as humans. They only treated him as an extremely-powerful wild beast.

Northmoon acted like he was unable to tell Si Qing was mocking him. He leapt up from his seat. “Speaking of which, when I was refining the river that night, I looked up and saw the stars, which put me in a great mood and I sang this song. I’ll broaden your horizons today!”

He arrived beside the musicians in a flash. The musicians were also all female, scattering in fright.

He completely ignored them. He picked up a zither and casually plucked a few strings before shaking his head and throwing it by his feet. Afterwards, he picked up a reed-piped sheng and blew it blindly a few times before tossing it aside.

The cultivators looked at one another, communicating secretly through their soul sense, “Is the moon demon serious?” “Forget it, just treat it as a monkey show!”

Northmoon’s eyes drifted out the window before suddenly lighting up. He flew out before flying back in, carrying the huge drum used to report time in his hands and placing it on the ground with a thud.

Afterwards, he swung the drumsticks, thumping away. A fast-paced rhythm suddenly appeared.

Northmoon sang happily at the top of his lungs, “East flows the river! The stars shine ‘round beidou! Hey! Hey! ‘round Beidou ah! Friendship in a bowl of wine ah!”

The moment he bellowed out, it echoed through the clouds and reached kilometers away. Let alone leaving Si Qing and the others dumbfounded, even Gu Yanying felt like she had just quivered.

I have no idea what it means, but it seems very powerful!





Chapter 627: The Beginning | Legend of the Great Sage




Everyone on the huge square beneath the Soaring Clouds terrace stopped talking. They raised their heads. “That voice! It’s the moon demon!”

Afterwards, they looked at one another with no idea what was happening on the Soaring Dragon terrace. It would have been easier for them to accept if a great battle had suddenly erupted on the Soaring Dragon terrace. What was this singing all about?

“We’ll go if you say go! I’ll go, you’ll go, we’ll all go ah! Hey hey we’ll all go ah! With our heads raised at the sky ah!”

Northmoon struck the drum and sang as if there was no one around. When he reached “With our heads raised at the sky”, he felt like it suited him very much. When he listened to it in his past life, it did not sound particularly special, but it put him in high, valiant spirits as he sang it today.

Originally, he had intentionally done this to create trouble in Si Qing’s ceremony, but he ended up being in a great mood for this. He unfurled his clothes, revealing his bare chest and struck the war drum deafeningly as his scarlet hair blazed like fire.

Although everyone felt like this song completely defied conventional music theory, it was more like a tune sung by northerners, possessing a riling, liberal sense of hot-bloodedness that broke away from convention. It did not sound bad at all, and even if they were unaccustomed to his crude voice, they could not help but be stunned by his vigour.

Enemies surrounded him, yet he sang to his heart’s content, making his enemies fearful and worried, afraid to act recklessly. On and below the terrace, the entire cultivation community of the Ruyi commandery listened along attentively, so how delightful was that!

“Seeing injustice on the road! Give a shout and give it a blow! Roaming the world valiantly ah!”

When Li Qingshan reached the last word, there was a great thunk, and the war drum shattered from the drumming. He let out a great laugh.

Si Bao elbowed Gu Yanying. “This guy sure is something else!”
