Legend of the Great Sage

>Originally, he planned to capture them as hostages, which would remove a lot of obstacles when they tried to conquer the world, but he never expected a twist like this to happen.
He wondered whether it was the obscure will of the heavens at work again.

If he went after them now, it would be pointless even if he managed to kill one or two of them.
It would only be a waste of the Frenzy Flower Blade of Path’s End’s power.

“Whatever.
We’ll let them spread our names.
The effect is probably the same.”

Afterwards, Gu Yanying ordered everyone to dig a great pit to bury the corpse mountain.
The stench would linger for months.

On the way back, Gu Yanying tried to get some information out of Rāhu Xiaoming.
“That’s your mother? There’s actually a mother like her in the world!”

“This feather is called Heaven-stirring’s feather.
What’s Heaven-stirring referring to?”

But from that moment onwards, Rāhu Xiaoming fell silent.
He seemed even more depressed and defeated.

Li Qingshan instead began to pity him slightly.
Hunted down by his own family, even if that was not the only reason why he lost his fighting will, it probably had an extremely profound effect on him.
However, a thought like that only flashed through his head before vanishing.
He had many more things to deal with than taking pity on him.

Gu Yanying led the army to uproot the forces of the Ma family in the northern region, and many soldiers in the army experienced a skyrocketing rise in their martial arts.
Following that, the entire army began to change in terms of quality.
Gu Yanying’s strength grew with theirs, no longer requiring Li Qingshan’s constant protection.

Li Qingshan remained in the city and ordered people to copy out the Legend of the White Ape King.
At the same time, he trained a great group of storytellers.
They did not just spread his novel, but also spread his ideology of world peace and equality for all.
He did not have to worry about insufficient manpower ever again.

They were not in a hurry to expand outwards.
Instead, they devoted their efforts to digesting the benefits that came with their victory.
The Legend of the White Ape would spread to wherever the World’s society expanded to, and the power of belief within his Divine Talisman of Great Creation grew a hundred times faster.

Li Qingshan discovered that while the world was much smaller than the nine provinces, the power of belief it provided was no less than the nine provinces.

The nine provinces were vast, but the range of influence of his novels was limited to the Clear River prefecture or the Ruyi commandery.
It would also only remain as a form of entertainment.
Afterwards, following the chaos of war, the common folk struggled to even stay alive, so why would they still be in the mood to enjoy themselves?

From that moment onwards, the accumulation of power of belief had stagnated, and it grew at an extremely gradual pace.
Li Qingshan had also stopped paying attention to it, directing his attention elsewhere.

While this world was small, basically everyone desired the secrets of martial arts hidden within the Legend of the Great Ape King.
He also had the authority to spread it by force, so this novel could reach the eyes and ears of every single person.
The effects were obviously on a whole different level.

And as they toppled the reign of the Ma family and split up the land titles and property with the common people, the reputation of the hero king was basically as prominent as the midday sun in the northern region.
Many people admired him almost to the point of fanaticism.

It was said that there was an old man in a village to the north of Pegasus city that did not know any martial arts and was completely illiterate, yet he could recite the several hundred thousand characters Li Qingshan had written flawlessly.

Li Qingshan had even specially summoned him for a meeting.
Let alone practicing martial arts, the old man basically had a foot in the grave already.
He had not done this for the secrets of martial arts in the book, so it basically went without saying how devoted he was.
In the end, Li Qingshan rewarded him with many treasures and ordered people to escort him back to his village, which led to a craze in memorising the book.

If I can conquer this world, the power of the Divine Talisman of Great Creation will definitely rise to an unprecedented level!

Li Qingshan thought as he converted his power of belief into raging spiritual qi, waiting for the first innate ability of the Ape Demon Transformation to appear.
