Legend of the Great Sage

our feelings for one another on the verge of death, swearing a solemn pledge of love, and say something like how we might not be born on the same day, but we hope we can die on the same day together? I’m not Xiao An.”

Li Qinghsan fell silent.
Where was she right now? Perhaps she was on the other end of some planet.
Who knew how great the distance between them had become.

They had once agreed to enter the six realms of saṃsāra, where only death could part them…

“Sorry.” Gu Yanying said apologetically.

“Yeah, you’re not Xiao An.
I regret this very much right now!” Li Qingshan shook away her hand.
“This is simply fantastic.
In the depths of outer space, two people holding hands and dying in loneliness.
This is utterly fantastic! Though, screw your shitty feather.
I don’t care for it!”

He already possessed the best legacy the world had to offer, the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine.
It did not conflict with other powers, but the dark-azure feather was not that simple either.
It definitely originated from some powerful lifeform, probably no weaker than any of the divine or demonic transformations in terms of both power and bloodline.
If he refined it rashly, it was very likely that the balance of the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine would be broken.
He would struggle to recover from that too.

Actually, this balance had always been extremely delicate.
Even the Battle Demon Statuary could influence it, let alone a legacy like this.
As such, he had no interest in the feather at all.

“Thank you!” Gu Yanying said.

“You’re thanking me for not fighting over the feather with you?”

“No, I’m thanking you for accompanying me.
If I were alone, I definitely wouldn’t be able to smile right now.” Gu Yanying raised her left hand.
She pressed her thumb against her ring and pinkie finger.
“I, Gu Yanying, swear to the stars that I will definitely do everything within my ability to unite Li Qingshan and Xiao An!”

“And what if you break your oath?” Li Qingshan glanced at her and said without much thought.

“Erm…” Gu Yanying considered it seriously.
“If I break the oath, I’ll pledge myself to you!”

“Huh?” Li Qingshan originally thought she would say something along the lines of being struck by lightning and dying a horrible death.
He could not help but be taken aback by that.
“What’s this supposed to be?”

“A solemn oath!” Gu Yanying said sternly.

“Solemn oath my ass!”

Gu Yanying broke into laughter.
The sounds of her laughter were swallowed by the silent space, but her expression became much more relaxed and graceful.

Great horrors existed between life and death, but there were also great joys!

Amidst the silent laughter, the dark-azure feather suddenly began to shine with hazy light, constantly extending and transforming until it changed into a large, dark-azure bird.
Its wings pierced thousands of kilometers of space.

Both Li Qingshan and Gu Yanying were dumbfounded.
The feather they held was currently attached to the tip of the wings.
They were like two fleas.

They immediately understood exactly what the owner of the azure feather was.

“Who knows how many thousand kilometers the back of a peng stretches for!”

Li Qingshan murmured.
This was the feather of a kunpeng.
Gazing at the kunpeng that completely filled his view, he suddenly thought of brother ox’s back.

There seemed to be some resemblance, except one was firm and sedated like the earth, while the other was vast and indistinct, giving off a bearing that he could not put into words.

The sharp eyes of the kunpeng gazed at the endless space, piercing it immediately and locking onto a distant target well beyond the reach of Li Qingshan and Gu Yanying.
It raised its wings.

Gu Yanying was excited, “I was right.
Heh, kid, hang on tight.
We’re going to set off!”

At that instant, the sea of stars shifted backwards.
The universe seemed to become a spinning kaleidoscope, while the stars also seemed like they were falling together.
Only they skyrocketed away.

Even a fly could ride a horse’s tail for hundreds of kilometers.
The endless outer space was nothing to them anymore.
They could go wherever they wanted, with everything within their reach!

Gu Yanying cheered away like a child inside.

Li Qingshan prayed, Hopefully we can return to the nine provinces!
