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

Li Qingshan summoned a piece of the Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell to use as a mirror. All he saw was that black, demonic armour had completely covered his body. The lines were sharp and clean, making him seem even more powerful than before. His limbs were slender, and he seemed like a sword that had been drawn from its sheath, its powers on full display.

The arc-shaped mask only covered half his face, and a crystal that resembled an eye had condensed on the centre of his forehead. It was not just his forehead, but his shoulders, chest, knees, and even his back. All of these areas were peppered with many crystals, all with different hues. It seemed like the several dozen demon hearts, but it was also like several dozen demonic eyes, allowing him to observe his surroundings and see through everything.

“Doesn’t seem too bad, but it doesn’t seem too different from before! Is this supposed to be a sword seed?” Li Qingshan said in thought.

Originally, he wanted to use becoming one with the sword to transform the Traitorous Demon sword into a demonic treasure, and he succeeded. However, he never expected the Traitorous Demon sword to suddenly betray him, which he suppressed mercilessly. After losing its intelligence, it merged with him, and a small sword now hovered in his demon heart.

He had not been expecting this, but he was extremely satisfied with the result. The power of the Traitorous Demon sword had completely merged with his body. Relying on an external object could never surpass personal strength after all. If it were possible, he would like to fuse with the Demon Dragon sword too, but the Demon Dragon sword did not have the instinct to devour its master, nor could it fuse with its master, which was quite the pity.

Li Qingshan released his demonified form and touched his forehead. There seemed to be an additional, eye-like imprint now. He exhaled deeply. After almost a year of bitter cultivation, he had not made any breakthroughs, but his strength had increased by a sizable amount.





Chapter 774: Liuxing Undergoes the Tribulation, a Much Told Tale of the Past | Legend of the Great Sage




Li Qingshan glanced in Xiao An’s direction again. The Samādhi Flames of White Bone burned away silently, holding up Xiao An like a flame lotus. Under the illumination of the flames, her skin faded in and out, sometimes a set of white bones and sometimes an alluring beauty.

The Buddha Slaying sword hovered in the flames, also in a blurry, rudimentary form. It was no longer in the form of a sword embryo.

Li Qingshan could see that she still had a while to go with refining the sword, so he did not disturb her. He dove into the Asura Field.

In this world enveloped by a blood-red colour, only the sky supported by the Great Banyan Tree King retained its regular colour.

Li Qingshan stood on a tree branch and gazed down. The night roamers thrived under the tree, living in quite the peace, but the blood-red colour currently invaded bit by bit. This peace probably could not continue forever.

I can’t keep the night roamers in the Asura Field forever, Li Qingshan thought. He went to find Ye Liubo and Ye Liusu and discovered that they were currently in secluded cultivation, working towards the second heavenly tribulation.

They sat before one another, and between them was Ye Mingzhu’s spinning Night Demon core. It had already become much smaller. The pulses of power it gave off merged with their bodies. It was a mystery how Ye Liubo had managed to convince her. He felt rather delighted by this sight.

“How are the developments in the south?”

There was a gust of wind, and the Great Banyan Tree King rustled. An old, sombre voice reached Li Qingshan’s ears.

“Not bad. I’ve already taken Savage mountain now and obtained the Blood Oath Scroll. I took on two cave masters as subordinates along the way too.” Li Qingshan turned around and smiled.

“Your strength has improved yet again.”

As the Daemon King that had been rooted down in the Mist province for ten millennia, no one understood the Mist province better than the Great Banyan Tree King. He understood what kind of place Savage mountain was. Being able to breach that place and obtain the Blood Oath Scroll was not an easy feat.

“You can’t just idle away here. Fellow, would you be interested in changing where you stay?” Li Qingshan asked.

As the Asura Field strengthened, the Great Banyan Tree King’s existence began interfering with the Asura Field’s operation. Moreover, the Asura Field’s purpose was a place of trials and battles and a place where he could summon asura from to fight alongside him, not a moving dwelling.

“Sure. I’ve gotten a little tired as of lately. Savage mountain is a good place. It’s a renowned blessed land of the south.”

The Great Banyan Tree King smiled. Although Li Qingshan replenished him with spiritual qi, constantly contending against the power of the Asura realm was very tiresome.

“As long as you’re willing, fellow. You really can’t stay in this place for too long, but there’s no rush right now, so please hang on for a little longer. Please wait until I’ve made all the preparations so that you can return to the Mist province properly.”

With that, Li Qingshan leapt up and arrived in a desert. He called out, “Great king Milliped, stop sleeping!”

His voice echoed through the desert. A while later, the sand dune in front of Li Qingshan trembled and sand began to flow. With a poof, a huge, pink bug burst out of the sand dune, wrapping around him intimately.

“You cultivate a little far too slowly! Here, I’ll give you something good to eat!”

Li Qingshan tossed Wei of the Poison’s poisonous core to Milliped.

Milliped turned into human form and gulped down the poisonous core. He let out a belch, rubbed his bald head, and grinned widely.

“Stop grinning away foolishly. Refine the poisonous core properly, and you might be able to pass your days as a Daemon Commander. You better not say I’m not good enough of a friend!” Li Qingshan smiled.

Milliped nodded in a foolish manner.



At this moment, the lake in the distance suddenly surged. With a great splash, water was hurled into the air. A huge, red carp leapt out, shooting through the sky and lunging towards Li Qingshan’s direction.

“Oh you! You’ve come to take advantage of me again!” Li Qingshan extended his hand and held a young boy in red in his hand. That was the carp daemon he had named “Li’l Red”.

“Great king, great king, me too!”

Li Qingshan casually fished out a pill and shoved it into his mouth before throwing him hard. With a plop, he landed in the lake in the distance.

Li Qingshan returned to the great banyan tree, asking the Great Banyan Tree King for guidance regarding the cultivation of the Demon Suppression Statuary.

The Great Banyan tree King was rather amazed by the wonders of the cultivation method, but he admired Li Qingshan’s breath of mind even more than it. This cultivation method was known as one of the peak cultivation methods of this world. It was so valuable that it was immeasurable. If this had ended up in the hands of a regular cultivator, they would have viewed it even more importantly than their lives, so why would they ever show it to someone else so easily? However, he did not mind at all.

In return for this trust, the Great Banyan Tree King also did his best to serve as a teacher. Although he did not practise this cultivation method, even the Unraging monk paled in comparison to him with his several millennia of knowledge and experiences, which allowed Li Qingshan to benefit tremendously.

It was not that Li Qingshan did not know how to cherish things. For example, he would never tell anyone about the cultivation method of the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine. However, just the Demon Suppression Statuary was not worth so much attention. He would be replacing this cultivation method sooner or later anyway.
