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

No one expected Li Qingshan to spend so much time and effort to conjure a country bumpkin like this. However, one of the school leaders had specially studied Li Qingshan’s works before, so he called out loudly, “Don’t be careless! He’s Zhang…”

“Shut up, I’ll destroy you all!” Zeng A’niu bellowed out and interrupted him. He raised his hands into the air. “The power of dragon-slaying, the strike of heaven-reliant!”

His rustic, honest face immediately lit up, blazing with an imposing manner. His muscles burst through his clothes as he moved around gracefully like a butterfly. A huge, silver sword appeared over his head, with a golden dragon coiled around the hilt. He swung down forcefully.

Silver light filled the surroundings as extremely-sharp sword Qi whistled out, cleaving down on the seven people.

Even Li Qingshan was taken aback. Woah! I almost forgot this was the adapted version! He’s no longer that pitiful man who failed to start a harem, but the cool, awesome, wicked leader of the demonic cult who cut through Mount E’mei in a single strike!





Chapter 633: The Battle of the Schools of Novels (Three) | Legend of the Great Sage




Zeng A’niu was awe-inspiring, radiating with sword Qi. The seven cultivators fled from him wherever he passed by. No one could stop his edge. They all channelled the Divine Talisman of Great Creation and conjured various powerful figures and vicious beasts to stop him, but they were all cut down in a single stroke, thrown into utter disorder.

These guys sure are surprisingly weak!

Li Qingshan could clearly sense that whether it was the swordsmanship or the battle style of the conjured Zeng A’niu, they all resembled his, which allowed him to understand something new.

Words were limitless. He could write a character as powerful and as clever as he wanted to, but when he truly conjured the character, they were limited by two aspects. One was the amount of power of belief, while the other was the author himself.

No matter how wonderful and extraordinary a person’s imagination was, it could not surpass the limits of what they knew. If a novelist did not even have an inkling about swordsmanship, then even if they wrote a supreme swordsman, the character would only be an idiot with the sword if they were conjured. No matter how realistic the characters seemed, they were not living creatures after all, just projections of the novelist’s imagination.

Like how even an omnipotent god could not create a rock he could not lift, novelists were unable to write characters that surpassed their imaginations. They might have been life-like in the novels, but their true colours would show once they conjured them through the Divine Talisman of Great Creation.

This was exactly the problem that the seven cultivators faced. They lacked battle experience, so while the characters they conjured possessed a cultivation at Foundation Establishment, their battle prowess was a mess. As a result, despite also using the Divine Talisman of Great Creation, the Zeng A’niu that Li Qingshan conjured was able to gain the upper hand while facing seven other people.

Li Qingshan refused to waste any time. He flew into the air, turned around, and leapt down. The remaining seven people did not even know the most basic coordination, let alone proper teamwork. They were scattered apart by Zeng A’niu. In Li Qingshan’s eyes, they were basically riddled with openings, almost no different from facing against them one by one. He threw three punches and two kicks. With that, another two people fainted and were out of the battle.

“Five!” Li Qingshan extended his open hand, about to finish off the remaining two people as well in a single stroke.

“Stop, no more! You win, okay?” The two remaining actually forfeited and admitted defeat. Within the hubbub, they directly left the stage.

Li Qingshan waved his hand, and Zeng A’Niu dispersed like mist. Because he had never been killed, he did not use up much power of belief.

“Victory to Li Qingshan of the Clear River prefecture for the exhibition match between the schools of Novels!”

“We did it!” Liu Chuanfeng waved his fist fiercely. Just like that, the Cloudwisp association would be able to spread across the entire Ruyi commandery. Sun Fubai stroked his beard and smiled.

The surroundings erupted with a roar of admiration. Although Wang Luocheng and the seven others appeared rather disheveled under Li Qingshan’s attacks, they were still eight Foundation Establishment cultivators after all! They were not eight newbies. Li Qingshan had managed to defeat them without using any arcane artifacts or techniques, and he had achieved victory so easily. It was unbelievable.

Gu Yanying said to Si Qing, “Looks like he hasn’t achieved his objective! Did you expect this result?”

“That’s because his opponents are far too weak. Although they’re all Foundation Establishment cultivators, he’s on an entirely different level. Even if you double the number of opponents he’s facing, the results won’t change. Even if a tiger has its teeth and claws removed, it's still not something a herd of sheep can defeat. He truly is a genius worth treasuring!”

Si Qing actually admired Li Qingshan from the bottom of his heart.

Gu Yanying furrowed her brows slightly before easing up. As it seemed, Si Qing had made up his mind about finishing him off. If he were not Northmoon, this truly would be quite troublesome. Who would emerge victoriously in the end from this fierce struggle?

She did not have high hopes for Si Qing, but she did not feel that Li Qingshan could deal with Si Qing. At their realm of cultivation, determining victory or defeat was easy, but determining life or death was difficult. The present situation would probably last for a very long time, until Northmoon showed an opening and was killed off, or he possessed the strength where he no longer had to fear the Great Xia empire’s revenge.

On the side of the stage, Wang Luocheng woke up under the treatment of the school of Medicine, sitting on the side and regulating his condition. He raised his head, only to see Liu Chuanfeng striding over slowly. He pointed at them and swaggered around on his high horse.

“Hmph, you group of despicable people might be crafty and treacherous, but under this school leader’s power and influence, you’ve still ended up yielding in submission! You really have been asking for this! From today onwards, I am the leader of the Greater Cloudwisp association. Do any of you have any objections?”

Li Qingshan might have won, but he felt slightly embarrassed right now for some reason. Like everything else, he had to maintain a bottom line and not go too far. If you strut around before them like this, wouldn’t everything fall apart if you piss them off and they refuse to cooperate with you anymore?

But to his surprise, Wang Luocheng immediately stood up and flattered him with a smile. “Yes, yes, yes. We tried to stop the unstoppable, and we completely overestimated ourselves. These puny tricks are obviously ineffective against junior brother Li, as well as senior brother Liu. When you take control of the Cloudwisp association in the future, please take good care of us, senior brother Liu!”

The other defeated school leaders gathered over too and congratulated their association leader Liu Chuanfeng.



Li Qingshan was taken aback. These guys who wrote novels truly were absolutely spineless. Little did he know that it was primarily due to his efforts. Even now, Wang Luocheng was still shaken up from the clash earlier, so where would he find the courage to stand up against him? He was the kind of person who would never be convinced until he fought, and he would be absolutely convinced after he fought.
