Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 701-Chapter 833)

However, when he faced this alluring, enchanting beauty, his heart remained as placid as water apart from being mildly surprised earlier. He did not feel awkward either, as if this was all too normal.

It obviously was not because he had comprehended some profound buddhist principle from the conversion between white bone and great beauty. In the past, when he turned into a daemon for the first time and struggled to accept his hideous form, it was she who gave him her whole-hearted recognition. Afterwards, when he underwent the tribulation and transformed, she did not develop any additional liking towards him because he was handsome, as that had reached the limit a long time ago.

Whether it was gaining a hint of beauty or losing a chunk, it had never been important in the first place. To him, white bone and great beauty were both as beautiful as they could get. They were all the same.

“Yeah. I’m going to start refining the sword next,” Xiao An said as she took out the Buddha Slaying sword. Actually, it was still just a sword embryo.

“What a fine sword!” Li Qingshan took the Buddha Slaying sword from her and examined it. As his comprehension of the path of the sword deepened, his ability to appraise swords grew stronger too. He said in praise, “If this sword can truly be fully refined, those Ten Renowned Swords or whatever they’re called would just be scrap metal compared to this!”

“I wonder how much longer is needed before the Three Absolutes Calligraphy is repaired.” Xiao An adjusted her posture. In the past when she was still young, she had grown accustomed to sitting in his lap as a child. Now that she had grown much taller, it became slightly awkward.

“Yeah. If we can comprehend the path of the sword inside, our strength will definitely reach a whole new level. I’ll be able to go to the Ink sea and settle my debts with that old dragon sooner!”

Speaking of which, Li Qingshan was not lacking arcane treasures. The Asura Field was one, the Demon Dragon sword was another, and there was also the Blood Oath Scroll. The Fogbow sword in Yu Wufeng’s possession obviously belonged to him too. In the future, he could look forward to a demonic treasure from the Unraging Monk, a renowned sword from the Sword Collection palace—he swore he would pull out a renowned sword no matter what and make the Sword Collection palace suffer—as well as the Traitorous Demon sword he was refining.

He possessed seven of them if he counted them up. This was basically an impossible achievement in the cultivation community across the entire world. It was already very rare for a second heavenly tribulation cultivator to possess a single arcane treasure. Even among certain third heavenly tribulation cultivators, there probably were not too many that possessed arcane treasures.

However, the one he looked forward to the most was still the Three Absolutes Calligraphy. It was not only because of the path of the sword within it, but also because it probably surpassed regular arcane treasures in power as a piece of work left behind by the Five Absolutes Immortal. He had specially left a piece of jade with Chu Danqing for him to crush once he had completed the repair so that he could be contacted.

“Definitely!” Xiao An tightened her grip around the Buddha Slaying sword, and for once, a hint of coldness appeared in her eyes. She could still remember the devastating feeling back then. Then she said to Li Qingshan, “But you’re not allowed to take any risks.”



“I’ll have to take some risks no matter what, or wouldn’t that mean I can only go and find him when he’s about to ascend?” Li Qingshan pinched her delicate nose with a smile. The Dragon King of Ink Sea could basically be regarded as an apex cultivator of this world. If he went any higher than that, he would be ascending to another world.

“I’ll accompany you.” Xiao An bit his hand.

“Alright.” Li Qingshan looked at the teeth marks on his hand and said helplessly.

By now, the news regarding the battle of Savage mountain had already spread across the entire southern region, creating an uproar.





Chapter 773: Ghost Shadow, the Demonic Sword Complete | Legend of the Great Sage




The commandery city of South Sea, in the Marquis of Serene Sea’s estate.

The moonlight peeked through the dense leaves, casting down beams of silver light with difficulty that sprinkled across the courtyard in the canopy.

The Marquis of Serene Sea, dressed in luxurious robes, paced around under the moon. His eyebrows furrowed at times before easing up at others. His face slackened and tensed.

The entire time, he murmured a single name, “Li Qingshan!”

Ever since Li Qingshan’s arrival, he regularly felt uneasy. In the beginning, he felt anger and fury, wanting to find an opportunity to make him suffer, but he felt fearful and uneasy now, basically hoping he would never see him again.

That person had a vicious disposition and was extremely vengeful. He could not be provoked without good reason. Though, what kind of place was Savage mountain supposed to be? It was one of the handful of danger zones in the south. According to the news from his subordinates, the entire city had been flattened. Apart from the eight cave masters, all of the other demonic cultivators had been slain. Not a single one managed to escape.

However, the main peak of Savage mountain was enveloped in formations, locking down all outflows of information, so even he was not sure about the outcome of the battle. Had Li Qingshan died on Savage mountain, or… no, that was definitely impossible!

None of the eight cave masters of Savage mountain were weak. The first cave master Yu Wufeng was even a sword cultivator at the peak of the second heavenly tribulation, a genius disciple of the South Sea Sword pavilion in the past. He had slain countless powerful opponents with his arcane treasure, the Fogbow sword. His reputation boomed, even surpassing the Marquis of Serene Sea’s. Even third heavenly tribulation cultivators might not necessarily be able to kill him.

Yeah, that’s definitely impossible! Since Li Qingshan hasn’t returned, doesn’t that mean… he’s already dead? This conclusion filled the Marquis of Serene Sea with vigour.

“Marquis, long time no see.”

A faint voice rang out in the silent courtyard. The voice drifted about, sometimes like it originated from an extremely distant place, yet seeming like a gentle whisper right by his ears at other times. It was impossible to tell the age or gender of the speaker from the voice.

The Marquis of Serene Sea shivered inside. With a surge of light, he took out the Seal of Mountains and Rivers with a flip of his hand. He was secretly shocked. The estate is enveloped in formations, so how can someone infiltrate here silently? I even failed to discover him when he was so close to me.

Suddenly, he looked back, only to see the flowing moonlight and the surging darkness. There was not a single figure in sight. He could not sense any aura either.

“Third cave master?” The Marquis of Serene Sea asked hesitantly. He continued to stare at the darkness before him without lowering his guard at all.

“You’ve managed to tell.” The outline of a shadow emerged from the darkness, gradually forming a humanoid figure. It was a slender, masked man. His ears were long and pointed, and his unexposed skin was a deep blue colour.

“I don’t think there’s anyone else who can infiltrate my estate so silently in the south apart from the third cave master.”

The Marquis of Serene Sea smiled. His face eased up, but his aura was still tense, ready to erupt at any time.
