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

This kid’s got some sense about him! Li Qingshan praised inside.

Li Qingshan said sincerely, “Don’t be too downhearted. I’ve already undergone the second heavenly tribulation, so my realm of cultivation is higher than yours. Otherwise, who knows what the result of this battle might be!”

“How old are you?”

Yin Xiaochou was dumbstruck. Every single heavenly tribulation was a huge obstacle and boundary to cultivators. He had actually never thought of such a simple answer, only because it was completely unbelievable. With his age, how could he have undergone the second heavenly tribulation? Even among the past geniuses of the Sword Collection palace, that was extremely rare.

In a tiny place like the Clear River prefecture, how had he managed to do it without a clan or sect behind him?

“I’ve spent too much time in secluded cultivation, so I can’t really remember it anymore. I don’t think I’ve hit thirty yet though! I’ve basically reached my original objective. The people of the world can’t laugh at me for boasting. Hahaha!”



Even Yin Xiaochou could not say anything more; it was as if it was an even greater setback for him to be defeated at Li Qingshan’s hand. He challenged the geniuses of the various prefectures of the Green province because he personally believed he was a genius among geniuses. Yet now, someone who paled in comparison to him in all aspects had thrown him far behind, stepping into a higher realm much earlier than him.

Apart from Hua Chengzan, who knew Li Qingshan’s other identity, everyone else in the surroundings was dumbstruck as well. What did undergoing the second heavenly tribulation mean? Everyone understood the answer to that question. Founding a sect and awing an entire region would be a piece of cake. Perhaps he could not rampage through the nine provinces freely, but he could come and go as he pleased. Only a handful of existences could still threaten him.

However, it was rather difficult to say what undergoing the second heavenly tribulation before the age of thirty meant. Did it mean he had great confidence in undergoing the third heavenly tribulation and becoming one of the true rulers of the nine provinces?

“It’s getting late, so keep up with your challenges! Danqing, how’s your painting going?” Li Qingshan called out loudly.

“It’s done!” Chu Danqing’s brush stopped.

Li Qingshan walked over and took a look. The painting depicted two figures. Although they were blurry, even with their facial features obscured, he had completely captured their unique bearings. It was possible to distinguish with a single glance that they were Li Qingshan and Yin Xiaochou. The two swords were even more fascinating than that. They seemed like they were about to leap out of the painting.

He had labelled the painting with its name too, calling it the “The Water Sword Destroys the Breaking Water Sword” as Li Qingshan had said. However, the problem was the scene Chu Danqiong had painted; it was when Yin Xiaochou had cut through the water sword.

“Hey, you sure have good timing! If anyone who doesn’t know about this battle sees this, wouldn’t they be mocking me?”

Chu Danqing said, “Your name already resounds through the world with this battle, so who wouldn’t know about it?”

“Fair enough!” Li Qingshan nodded. This was his original intention anyway.

At this moment, Yin Xiaochou’s voice rang out from behind, “Please face me in battle, fellow Hua!”

Even Li Qingshan did not expect him to continue with his challenges. He thought, He’s just suffered a major defeat and he’s able to brighten up immediately. You can say this person has a resolute and steadfast personality. The disciples nurtured by the Sword Collection palace, the successors of the Ten Renowned Swords, are all worthy of their reputations. I wonder how Zi Jian is doing. I need to ask him later!

Afterwards, Yin Xiaochou challenged the people present one by one. Not only did he defeat them all, but he even defeated them all in a single stroke. If it were not for Li Qingshan, his battle record would have shone even more with tonight, and his name would echo through the Green province again.

But right now, even the people he challenged seemed rather distracted. They constantly glanced at Li Qingshan as if they were looking at a monster they had never seen before. Their eyes were filled with amazement and respect.

The gathering came to an end very quickly. As everyone dispersed, the news of Li Qingshan having undergone the second heavenly tribulation spread rapidly.

Yin Xiaochou reported this matter to the Sword Collection palace at the first opportunity. The master of the Sword Collection palace sighed. “The Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga has produced an outstanding disciple. With how outstanding his talent is, it’s basically a one-in-a-hundred-year genius!”

At this moment, the Divining Elder rushed over and clasped his hands. “Palace master, we’ve just received news that the disciple of the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga, One Will, has just emerged from critical secluded cultivation. She has successfully undergone the heavenly tribulation. She’s become the youngest head monk in the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga’s history, and she’s even a little younger than Li Qingshan!”





Chapter 743: A Grand Gathering in the Parlour of Clouds and Rain, Each With Their Own Thoughts | Legend of the Great Sage




The prefectural city of Clear River blazed with lanterns. It was already night, but people still flowed to and fro on the streets, bustling with a lively hubbub. The dazzling buildings and boisterous stages could not make the people stop and linger. It was like there was some great festival going on. However, today was not a festival at all.

Most of the common folk had no idea why they were celebrating. All they knew was the prefect had done something, and the entire prefectural city became lively. They had a vague inkling that it had something to do with the Scarlet Hawk commander, Li Qingshan.

However, the entire cultivation community of the Ruyi commandery had been shaken up. Li Qingshan’s name even resounded through the Green province, spreading far and wide to the other provinces.

The Parlour of Clouds and Rain was ablaze with lights. They currently carried out a grand banquet with streaks of light flying over constantly, being invited into the building. Only Foundation Establishment cultivators that had undergone the first heavenly tribulation had the right to set foot on the rooftop, and even when they spoke, they had to be careful.

To a corner of the rooftop, Gu Yanying was currently discussing something with Han Anjun. The always solemn Han Anjun smiled slightly as well. The Marquis of Ruyi listened along, and all of the people beside him were second heavenly tribulation Golden Core cultivators.

Although their numbers had lessened slightly due to the disaster that was the Exhibition Matches of the Nine Prefectures, and they all concealed their aura, the bearing they unconsciously gave off made everyone feel slightly pressured.

“He’s here!” Gu Yanying suddenly looked into the horizon.

Under the gazes of many, Li Qingshan descended from above with Han Qiongzhi.

Li Qingshan was dressed in convenient, navy robes, giving off a bearing as lofty as a mountain as he looked around complacently. Han Qiongzhi was dressed magnificently in a long, fiery-red dress. She was as bright and beautiful as fire, attractively outlining her figure. They were truly a perfect match for each other, like a match made in heaven.

Back then, there had even been people who were perplexed by why the noble daughter of the Han family would proactively chase after a kid from the country.
