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

It was rumored that they encountered intense objection from Han Anjun and that she had virtually fallen out with the Han family over this. In the end, they settled down together without any formal recognition.

The cultivation community did not place as much emphasis on traditions and family background as mortals, but among the aristocratic clans of the Clear River prefecture and even the Ruyi commandery, they had basically become a laughing stock. They all said Han Qiongzhi had lost her mind to love. However, Han Qiongzhi had never cared about these rumors, while Li Qingshan had no time to pay any attention to them either.

Now, everyone admired Han Qiongzhi’s insight. An unparalleled prodigy like him was enough to revitalise an entire sect. Even creating an aristocratic clan on par with the Han family would be a piece of cake for him!

No matter how pessimistic Han Anjun was about this relationship, he could not help but nod at a time like this. From the perspective of a cultivator alone, he could not help but be filled with admiration over this.

He had admired Li Qingshan very much right from the beginning. The reason why he refused to accept him as his son-in-law was not because he found Li Qingshan’s status lowly as the rumors suggested. It was the exact opposite. He was worried his daughter could not rein in a man like that, and it really was the case. In his understanding, there was probably only Gu Yanying standing right beside him, holding a folding fan and smiling away, that could match him.

Fortunately, she abstained from matters between a man and woman, so it was impossible for her to have any interest in Li Qingshan, or his daughter really would be done for. Li Qingshan was not an irresponsible person either. By doing this, he was essentially declaring his relationship with Han Qiongzhi again.

Han Tieyi also felt happy for his elder sister. His brother-in-law often did whatever he pleased. He was probably the exact opposite of the term “infatuation”. At last, he had not let down his elder sister’s deep love.

“Speaking of which, you met commander Li first, my daughter. I think you even saved him back then!”

In the tiny garden on the rooftop, the patriarch of the Hua family said to Hua Chenglu. His voice was filled with pity.

Even after undergoing the Wisdom Imbuement and becoming much more mature, Hua Chenglu could not help but roll her eyes at her father. She raised her head and looked up again.

Back then, she was still a little girl. She was still ignorant about the matters between a man and woman. Thinking about it now, she did feel a tinge of regret. If she had struck first back then, with her charm and how lustful of a big brother he was, it would be impossible for him to turn her down! Sigh, everything is about striking first…

Suddenly, she shook her head. What am I thinking about? Big sister Han treats me like her own sister. How can I think about something so shameful!

She was not envious of the glory. She only wanted a perfectly-justifiable reason to remain by his side. Once she thought about it, she really struggled to forget about it. Female cultivators really did have the heaviest tribulations of attachments. Suddenly, she understood her elder brother a little. Since she had already fallen in love with this man, if she looked at other men now, what interest could they bring? She was better off just prioritising cultivation in that case.

Hua Chenglu sighed. Perhaps this is a good thing! At the very least, she was not as obstinate over the word “love” as Hua Chengzan.



Because of Gu Yanying, Hua Chengzan did not appear tonight. Even if he drank a thousand bottles of Water of Oblivion, he would still fall in love with her if he saw her again. This was something he understood himself.

The patriarch of the Hua family shook his head. The Han family has profited! However, he also understood that even if his daughter was willing back then, he might not necessarily give permission. His objections would definitely be even more intense than Han Anjun’s. Who would have thought that a kid from the country could actually reach this step in a little over a decade!

With various different thoughts, everyone cast various different gazes towards Li Qingshan. Li Qingshan remained calm, looking down and smiling.

This celebration was Liu Changqing’s suggestion. Originally, Li Qingshan might not have necessarily accepted this with the kind of person he was, but upon considering his plan, he still agreed to it in the end.

But since he was here, there was no need for him to focus on being discreet!

Tonight, he would make his name resound through the world and complete that wild wish of the mountain village youth of the past!

In that moment, Li Qingshan completely unleashed his aura. Demon qi surged and malice rushed into the air. The stars and moon paled!

Everyone felt a tremendous pressure drop down from above, filled with oppression and invasiveness. Even their breathing became a little difficult. If it were not for the fact that this power had spread out into the surroundings aimlessly, without a single person as a target, no one present could withstand it apart from the Golden Core cultivators.

However, these Golden Core cultivators felt even more shocked. Didn’t he just undergo the second heavenly tribulation? How is he so powerful!? If he really ends up fighting, there probably aren’t a lot of people present that are his opponent!

Yin Xiaochou stood with his sword on a tall building in the distance. He shut his eyes silently and sensed the aura. He sighed. “Is this the Demon Suppression Statuary? It really is powerful. No, it’s not just the cultivation method. It’s because of this person too. The Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga has produced such a genius. Among the younger generation of the Sword Collection palace, no one can compare to him apart from first senior brother! Fortunately, he’s not from the Umbral Yin sect, or he would definitely become a major problem.”

“Stop showing off! Hurry up and get down!” Han Qiongzhi silently pinched Li Qingshan. In front of so many gazes, she felt quite proud in the beginning, but as time went on, it felt uncomfortable.

“Aren’t I making you proud and building up your reputation?” Li Qingshan conveyed with a smile.

“Hmph, I think you’re just doing it for your own sake!” Han Qiongzhi said.

If he had just suddenly entered secluded cultivation for a few years, then so be it, but the first person he visited after emerging was actually Hua Chenglu. She only learnt he had emerged when someone else had contacted her.

Li Qingshan knew the reason for her anger. He had always followed his principle of “even a lion would use its full strength to catch a rabbit”. He passed the half of the Cursive Sword Calligraphy he had obtained from Mo Yu to Chu Danqing after refining it. Then he comprehended the sword intent inside. He spent the entirety of the past two days on this. His time was tight, so he had absolutely no time to go and find her.

Furious, Han Qiongzhi did not even spectate his battle with Yin Xiaochou. Of course, it was also because she knew he had already undergone the second heavenly tribulation, so there was absolutely no chance he could lose, let alone face any life-threatening danger.

Li Qingshan also understood he had been in the wrong. He coaxingly said, “Zhi’er, it’s my fault, so please stop being angry. I’ll definitely properly make it up to you tonight and relieve you of the pain from several years of longing!”

“Never! You can go amuse yourself with other women!”

Han Qiongzhi turned him down without batting an eyelid, but her heart softened. She was very curious just what she had to do to never forgive this brazen, unrestrainable man. As long as he said a few more sweet words, her anger would completely evaporate away.

“Are there any women that can compare to my Zhi’er?”
