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

The two of them just sat down above the sea of clouds and began talking. The sun shifted bit by bit until stars adorned the sky, and the full moon rose up.

“That’s basically all that I know. After all, my cultivation is limited. I only heard most of this from others. As for whether they’re actually true, I can’t guarantee anything.” Yin Qing glanced at the brilliant moon in the sky, reluctant to see it go. “I need to return to the Asura Field.”

Li Qingshan nodded and opened the Asura Field, letting Yin Qing inside. He continued to sit above the sea of clouds alone, furrowing his brows and mumbling to himself, “The trichiliocosm… the six realms of sa?sāra… the four dhyānas and Nine Heavens…”

The words of others could be of help and inspiration! That really was true!

The things Yin Qing mentioned that even she herself could not verify had a drastic effect on Li Qingshan. Some questions had been answered, which led to ten times more questions.



This was the appearance of the world she had seen and heard in the Asura realm.

This feeling was like when humans first realised they were drifting through the endless cosmos. They could not help but sigh over their insignificance. An overly-narrow space could make people feel restrictive, but an extremely vast space could also throw their minds into disarray.

“I see… I see…”

Li Qingshan sighed. His lips gradually curled into a smile, and he spread out his arms, lying down above the sea of clouds and laughing at the top of his lungs.

“Xiao An, the world is so large, and the Nine Heavens are so distant- No, they’re not that distant. Don’t you think so?”

Before he knew it, Xiao An was crouched right beside him, holding him by his cheeks and staring at him. She nodded with a smile.

Li Qingshan stared at the round moon that resembled a silver dish. He had already established his foundations, and he had dealt with the King of Southern Yue. It was about time for him to take his next step!

But before this, he needed to go to the Great Marsh of Cloud Dream and check on Ru Xin.

……

The vast Cloud Dream marsh was wrapped in mist all year long. The white water birds flew from one lush island to another verdant island in flocks.

In the depths of the marsh, the Jade Melting cauldron was buried in the mud, shuddering from time to time and flickering with red and blue light. Ru Xin sat in there quietly, her beautiful blue fishtail coiled around her as she practised the Heavenly Tome of Cloud Furnace. These were the three most peaceful years of her life.

In order to refine the marsh, Li Qingshan had defeated and killed the Daemon Commanders there. He had actually raised a bit of attention a long time ago, but it never culminated into an actual threat, which was obviously thanks to the Great Banyan Tree King’s efforts.

Otherwise, if some person of unknown origins had just come along and refined such a large marsh, it would without a doubt break the original order of the Mist province daemons. Such a large Water God Seal would definitely tempt even Daemon Kings too.

Of course, when the Great Banyan Tree King helped Li Qingshan, he was clearly protecting the daemons of the Mist province too. Otherwise, if a reckless one ran over there to make trouble, it was as clear as day what would happen. Even if it were his “small friends”, they might not necessarily get anything out of him. They might possess the upper hand right now, allowing them to take the Water God Seal, but even they would not know how they would die in the future.

Li Qingshan was a person who took the Dragon King of Ink Sea as his target, a person who seriously wanted to go dragon-slaying in the Ink sea.

As a result, there was peace for all.

The King of Southern Yue would not care too much about this situation either. Refining the waters and mountains occurred very frequently in the Mist province. It did not attract as much attention as in the Green province. Moreover, this was the territory of daemons in the first place. Since the Great Banyan Tree King had not done anything, he only brushed it off as internal strife among the daemons, followed by a certain powerful daemon who had managed to collect enough Water God Seals to build a water dwelling here.

This happened very frequently too. Peace had never been a thing in the Mist province. Even cultivators battled each other constantly despite all being humans, so let alone daemons of completely different species who purely focused on strength. There was absolutely no iron rule that forbade daemons from killing one another like in the Green province. Sometimes, conflicts would even rise up to the level of the third heavenly tribulation, which would even require two kings to step in to mediate the situation many of the times.

Chaos possesses its own order.

This was Li Qingshan’s greatest realisation ever since he came to the Mist province. It seemed like a lawless land of chaos, paying no consideration to both the laws of Great Xia or the morals of humanity, but it had its own set of invisible principles at work.

Thunk! Thunk! Thunk!

Ru Xin suddenly opened her eyes. Someone was knocking the cauldron. A familiar voice rang out.

“Is anyone home?”

Ru Xin smiled. “Nope.”

“My little wifey, if you still don’t open up, I’ll have to burst through the door!”

With a gentle sound, a string of white bubbles surged upwards. The mud slid off the cauldron.

The cauldron opened, and Ru Xin emerged. Their eyes met, both smiling.

It had been almost three years since they last saw each other, but within their smile, it was as if they had just separated yesterday.

“You cultivate too slowly. So much for giving you the Water God Seal! You haven’t even undergone the second heavenly tribulation yet!”

Li Qingshan studied her. She had already made her fishtail vanish, turning back into human form. Her skin became even more glossy, like soft, white jade of the highest grade. Even her lips became a natural red jade, and her flowing eyes were a rare black jade.

She seemed like a beauty sculpted from jade that an immortal had breathed life into, springing alive and possessing her own bearing of otherworldliness.

“Since when was undergoing the second heavenly tribulation so easy? You can’t compare me to a certain beast. Oh, I’m not talking about you.” Ru Xin smiled.

“Even if you didn’t place special emphasis, I would know you’re talking about me. Envy and jealousy is useless. This is the difference between a genius and a mortal person. Oh wait, I forgot, you don’t count as a mortal person either.”

“I’m otherpeople,” Ru Xin said as she tossed a jade bottle to Li Qingshan. “Take it and drink it, you beastial genius!”

“What’s this?” Li Qingshan opened the bottle and saw the faint, red liquid rippling inside.

Ru Xin had once given him a bottle of medicine like this before. It could balance water and fire, and it achieved wondrous effects when he consumed it while he was breaking through to Daemon Commander. On top of that, this bottle of medicine seemed even denser and more pure than the last.

“It’s stomach ache medicine… It gives you a stomach ache!”

“There’s no such thing like that. Just how did you refine this? Didn’t you say that there’s no Flower of Water and Fire?” Li Qingshan asked.

It was a tiny bottle of medicinal water, but to him, it was more precious than any spiritual pill or wondrous medicine. But the more it was like this, the more he wanted to know about its origins.
