Legend of the Great Sage

nherited a mental legacy, so she was still a child at the end of the day.

At this moment, Lolth’s voice suddenly rang out in her head, “Don’t leave the territory!”

“Like I need you to care!” Tigress continued onwards.

“You can leave here with her,” the Golden Cicada Spirit King said to Lolth.

This place would become a battlefield very soon.
It would involve a clash between three great Daemon Kings, coupled with the fourth heavenly tribulation.
Even Lolth, who had recently become a Daemon King, was in danger of dying.

“Sir Golden Cicada, I have no idea when I would become a Daemon King if it weren’t for all the care you’ve shown me over the years.
Perhaps I would have died to that bastard Northmoon already.
No matter what, I will see you off one last time, but if there are any lethal threats, I will flee.”

“See me off one last time? How ominous of you.” The Golden Cicada Spirit King smiled.

“Who made me so vicious in nature?”

“Haven’t you already understood the feeling of love and concern?”

Lolth sensed Tigress’s aura all the way until she left the range of her senses.
Suddenly, she felt lost.

From a spider to a Daemon King, she experienced a sense of attachment for the first time in her life.

Li Qingshan returned to the Qing Xiao dwelling.
Xiao An was still forging Skull Prayer Beads, and it did not seem like she would be done any time soon.
He told her about his clash with the Dragon King of Ink Sea.

“Looks like I guessed correctly.
He’s also a painting by the Five Absolutes Immortal.
The painting should be located in the Painting Tomb, so we have to go to the Painting Tomb if we want to kill him for good,” Xiao An touched her chin and said in thought as she powered the Samādhi Flames of White Bone.

“When I mentioned the Five Absolutes Immortal, he flew into a rage.” Li Qingshan grinned.

“That’s probably the inner demon haunting the Dragon King of Ink Sea.
The Clam King of Mirage Sea was afraid that everything is a dream, while he actually comes from imagination.
Even his own will and personality was crafted by another.
How can someone as proud as him endure that?”

“I see.
I think you’re right, but if it were me, simply looking ahead would be enough.
Why care about where you come from? A painting by the Five Absolutes Immortal is far more noble that being a cowherd in Crouching Ox village.

Li Qingshan could remain optimistic no matter what it was.
He did not understand what this highly-intelligent and extraordinarily-powerful Daemon King was hung up over.

“The smarter you are, the easier it is for you to become caught up in your own thoughts and actions.” Xiao An sighed slightly inside.
If she had not been so determined to follow Li Qingshan’s path, she would either be hung up over the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty or caught up between buddhism and the demonic.

“So you’re basically saying I’m all brawn and no brain!” Li Qingshan smiled.

“I never said that.” Xiao An stuck out her tongue and said, “When you fought against him, how did you find his strength to be?”

“He’s stronger than me, but you’ll only really be able to tell when you reach the final moments of a battle to the death.
However, if I go to the Ink sea right now, it’ll be certain defeat.
I might even die there.”

“Try avoiding the Painting Tomb and killing him in the Green province,” Xiao An said calmly. 

The Painting Tomb was an unknown territory.
Who knew how much strength the Dragon King of Ink Sea could unleash there.
He might even be stronger than when he was in the Ink sea.
On top of that, once Li Qingshan was defeated, there was nowhere for him to go.

“I obviously won’t be strung around by him like a fool, but I sure do want to fight him alone in a battle to the death!”

Li Qingshan sighed.
It had only been a short clash, but the Dragon King of Ink Sea had been the best opponent he had ever encountered.
They all said that a true partner or friend was difficult to find.
A fine enemy was no different.

Xiao An said, “It’s not like you won’t have the chance.”

“Perhaps I need to practise with the Soaring Locust King first!” Li Qingshan mentioned the Golden Cicada Spirit King’s request to her, and they continued their discussion.
When he brought up Lolth and Tigress, the eyes of the little phoenix who was on the side suddenly lit up.
“First father, are you saying that I have a younger sister!?” 

“Or an elder sister.”
