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

The dream shattered as a result, and the butterfly flew through the endless darkness with an indescribable blend of colours, shedding pigments that were just as indescribable that dyed this black curtain.

With Xiao An’s calls, Li Qingshan woke up from his dream and slowly opened his eyes. He saw Xiao An’s overjoyed face, and the doors to his memories immediately opened up. The conversations, sounds, and pictures flowed out, leaving him with a splitting headache and great exhaustion, but he was also filled with indescribable joy.

“Fascinating! That’s far too fascinating!”

The Clam King of Mirage Sea clapped briskly, expressing her admiration without holding back at all. As Li Qingshan woke up, her appearance stabilised once more with a face as beautiful as a dream.

“Clam King of Mirage Sea!”

Li Qingshan bellowed and immediately understood that the nightmares he had just experienced all originated from the Clam King of Mirage Sea. She was not as friendly and gentle as the Great Banyan Tree King had described her to be. Instead, she treated his nightmares like a movie, which left him especially furious!

“I know you’re very angry, but you can’t blame me! Fellow Xiao An, it’s best if you explain it to him and get him to control his hostility, or I might strike involuntarily.” The Clam King of Mirage Sea laid out her hands. She behaved so much like she had done nothing wrong that she seemed like she deserved a beating.

“Qingshan!” Xiao An embraced Li Qingshan firmly from behind and murmured.

“Xiao An?” Li Qingshan was slightly surprised. He could sense that her emotions were heaving violently.

Just like what the Clam King of Mirage Sea had said, she had remained conscious the entire time, but she faced her greatest and only fear, which was losing him. She watched him run around in the nightmare, enduring all of his fears alone and at the risk of dying at any moment. Now that he had finally awakened safely, how could she still be calm?

Chapter 821: The Clam King of Mirage Sea's Gift | Legend of the Great Sage




A while later, Xiao An explained everything to Li Qingshan, which left Li Qingshan in disbelief. To him, every single Daemon King was an extremely powerful and independent individual. They possessed their own distinct personality and ideas. It was just far too bizarre that the Clam King of Mirage Sea behaved differently and assumed various forms purely based on another’s thoughts.

He could not help but reevaluate the Clam King of Mirage Sea before him. Just what kind of existence was she? His initial guess that she was bound by her feelings had always been a joke, so why did she spend her entire life wandering the South sea?

“It’s all my-” Xiao An wanted to apologise when Li Qingshan interrupted her. “What?”

“Nothing.” Xiao An lowered her head.

“That’s more like it. Although it does feel like several years have passed, you better not think I’ve forgotten what I said!”

Li Qingshan smiled. However, this also explained why the Great Banyan Tree King had refused to tell him the truth. Once he found out the Clam King of Mirage Sea was a “monster” like this, it would be impossible for him not to grow wary, which would make it very difficult to deal with the Myriad Poison Ancestor’s soul nascence.

However, it still led to numerous twists and turns in the end, and it was still not completely over, as even a blind person could sense his deep hostility, let alone the Clam King of Mirage Sea that could read the minds of others. He had no idea what would happen, but he had never been afraid of a challenge.

He said to the Clam King of Mirage Sea, “In other words, I asked for all of this, and it’s not your fault at all!”

“Heh, if you’re ugly, it’s not like you can blame the mirror!” The Clam King of Mirage Sea smiled like a blooming flower.

“Then given everything that has happened so far, can you let us leave now?” Li Qingshan composed himself and controlled his battle intent.

“I refuse!” the Clam King of Mirage Sea said firmly.

“Really?” Li Qingshan squinted his eyes. As it seemed, this situation could not be resolved peacefully, but how was he supposed to defeat this Clam King of Mirage Sea?

“Relax, relax. I don’t have any plans on harassing you anymore.” The Clam King of Mirage Sea smiled and waved her hand.

“Harass?” Li Qingshan frowned. He had clearly been forced into dire straits, enduring hardships he had never endured before, yet it was merely harassment? She sure knew how to get on someone’s nerves.

“I say it’s harassment, but it has brought you great benefits. You have a spirit of forging on valiantly, but you’re still too young. Your temperament lacks tempering. Your cultivation speed will become slower and slower, and it’ll be very easy for you to be caught up at a bottleneck. This dream has made you confront your fears directly, which basically makes up for your shortcoming. That’s more precious than any medicine out there. It was a little dangerous, but from the end result, I think you should be thanking me instead.”

The Clam King of Mirage Sea tilted her head and smiled as she stared into Li Qingshan’s eyes with her colourful eyes

“That’s really hard to feel grateful about. Perhaps I should thank eight generations of your ancestors.”

Li Qingshan peered inside his body. He was extremely tired, but his mind had never been so clear before; it was like a rusty sword that had just been polished, exposing its edge. He also could not help but admit that the benefits from the dream were far more than what words could describe.

First of all, he had gained a deeper comprehension of the Ox Demon Transformation.

He had forcefully pushed the Ox Demon Transformation to the fifth layer, but he was like a child trying to wield a huge blade. He had never been able to use it as he pleased, completely limited to its great destructive power. Only through his battle with the Myriad Poison Ancestor did he comprehend the usage of the Gravity of the Earth. Now with his brand-new spirit and mentality, he only needed to go through a period of consolidation, and he would be able to unleash even greater power from the fifth layer of the ox demon.

He could not help but sigh. So the fifth layer of the ox demon can be this powerful. I’ll probably only be able to unleash its full strength once I undergo the third heavenly tribulation. By then, just which Daemon Kings in the world can still contend against my strength?

The other benefit was that the spirit turtle had become clearer and more penetrating, like a brilliant mirror that had just been cleaned of dust. His senses over the obscure heavenly secrets and fate had become sharper, while his usage of his abilities had become even more refined.

The omen of warning had vanished. There did not seem to be any more danger lurking in the Mirage sea, but Li Qingshan still refused to drop his guard. Common logic simply did not apply to the Clam King of Mirage Sea.

“Doesn’t that break the principle of your very existence?” Xiao An asked.

“Don’t look at me like that. I also have free will. I just don’t use it that regularly.” The Clam King of Mirage Sea loosened up and gazed at the sky. She said, “I might still be a stranger to you, but I’ve already known you for many years in the dream, Li Qingshan!”

“So I should call you old friend?” Li Qingshan sneered. He just did not feel honoured when others watched and enjoyed his suffering in a nightmare.

“Hehe, that won’t be necessary, but I do hope you understand that I share the same fear as you, which is why I’ve been trapped in this Mirage sea for thousands of years.” The Clam King of Mirage Sea spread her arms as if she was trying to demonstrate the length of several thousand years.

“Didn’t you create this place yourself with clam qi?” Li Qingshan said in surprise.
