Legend of the Great Sage

is friendship with the Great Banyan Tree King, then so be it.
However, the Mist province has been overwhelmed by the demon plague, with countless demon caverns opening up everywhere…”

“You’re thinking too much, senior brother.
Regular Demon Kings would never come here, let alone setting foot in the Demon Suppression hall so calmly.
He worked with the Merfolk King in the south to sweep up the demon caverns too, which everyone knows about.
Perhaps he’s been a little unruly and uncontrolled, but his actions have lived up to the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga, as well as me.
You shouldn’t worry so much, senior brother!”

“I also hope that I’m just worrying too much, but don’t shield him just because he’s your disciple either.
If the situation seems off, I’ll order you to suppress him in the Demon Suppression hall under the name of the abbot.
You’ll have to do it!”

“I’ll obviously take responsibility for my own disciple,” said the Unraging monk.

By now, Li Qingshan had already arrived on the eighth floor of the Demon Suppression hall.
He reviewed the Demon Suppression statues one by one again, making them fall in line with his own Demon Suppression Statuary.
He gained some more understanding yet again.
Then, he stood in silence before the eighth Demon Suppression statue for a moment before finally entering the ninth floor.

Immediately, demon qi flooded his face like thick mist that refused to disperse, surging through the surroundings.

Li Qingshan felt like he had returned to the demon caverns in the south.
He confirmed his suspicions.
Sure enough, there really is a demon cavern under the Demon Suppression hall, and it’s far larger than any of the demon caverns I saw in the south.
If it’s unleashed, it can affect thousands of kilometers.

Li Qingshan let out his soul sense and searched for the ninth Demon Suppression statue.
He discovered that the area of the ninth floor was much more expansive than the eighth.
Apart from the demon qi, there was nothing else there.
Let alone the gilded walls, there was not even a pillar.
It truly seemed like he had arrived in another world.

“I found it!”

Li Qingshan found the ninth Demon Suppression statue very soon, parting the demon qi and making his way over.
A delicate glow abruptly appeared before his eyes, illuminating a shrivelled figure who sat right in front of the Demon Suppression statue without budging at all.

Li Qingshan walked over and discovered that the shrivelled figure was a monk.
His aura was extremely feeble, and his skin was pale and withered.
His shabby, faded robes were basically held up by bones alone.
His eyes were firmly shut, and his face that basically resembled a skull was filled with pain.

He held a damaged lamp in his withered hand, which gave off a feeble glow, protecting the monk from the demon qi.
However, under the surging demon qi, it could be snuffed out at any moment.

Li Qingshan found the lamp to be more and more familiar before finally remembering where he had seen it before.
He said in surprise, “The One Lamp monk?”

The One Lamp monk heard him and opened his eyes slowly.
When he made out Li Qingshan’s face, his expression twisted from anger.
He said hoarsely, “It’s you!”

A Domineering Plea for Monthly Votes—Lend Me a Hand!

I said two days ago that I wanted to write a hundred and twenty thousand characters this month.

That amount is not even worth mentioning among webnovels.
I’m often ashamed about that too, unwilling to ask for monthly votes without any good reason.
All I do is lament a little at the start of the month and overtly ask for some monthly votes when I pretend to look around at the scenery.

However, the sense of shame ends here.
Qingshan has even become a supreme Daemon King, so how can I continue with such negativity?

Alright, I admit that this is all I can write even when I use everything within me.
There’ll be no mass releases.
I can’t even guarantee six thousand characters every single day, so does that make me an irresponsible author? Who says! Do you know how much effort I’ve been putting in? Sigh, why does that come to me so easily? Whatever, who cares.
I’ll learn from Li Qingshan today and be domineering for once.

My one hundred and twenty thousand characters will be an absolutely wicked hundred and twenty thousand characters.
Every single character, every single conversation will contain a hundred and twenty percent of my effort.
It’ll have things that you can’t find in the hundred and twenty thousand characters you read elsewhere.

From Li Qingshan to Xiao An, from the Great Banyan Tree King to the Dragon King of Ink Sea, they’re all demonstrations of my sense of responsibility! If you don’t see it, then read it again!

Many readers have said to me, If you put some more work into the releases, you won’t be any worse than those god-level authors.
Originally, I didn’t believe it at all.
That’s just how pessimistic I am, but I’ll try it this year.
If a hundred and twenty thousand characters isn’t enough, then I’ll do a hundred and forty thousand.
Please tell me if this is putting some work into the releases!

TL: God-level is basically a level of writing ability for authors.
It’s also the name of one of the various levels of contracts offered to authors.
It doesn’t make their writing actually divine.
Above god-level is platinum authors.

I’ve written Legend of the Great Sage for two years now.
Countless people have predicted that it’ll end badly or be dropped.
I’ve always been disinclined to give them a reply, so let me tell you right now, Just what kind of a joke are you telling? This is Qingshan’s path to the nine heavens, as well as my path to the ninth heavens!

Come, come, come.
That fellow over there, lend me a hand.
I’ll take you to beyond the Nine Heavens for a look!
