Legend of the Great Sage

ate the foolish.
Groups made concessions for individuals.
Was this actually logical?

Everyone had a liking towards the good and an aversion to the bad, but good and bad were unable to explain everything at the end of the day.
It had never been an absolute standard either.

This age of peace and order was only a grand dream they had created through methods that surpassed this world.
It was a dream that belonged to Li Qingshan and Gu Yanying.
Now, they were finally waking up from it.

He had never considered maintaining the World’s society through all ages.
Was there really a thing in the world that did not come to an end sooner or later? He had never considered making his descendants coexist peacefully in love and devotion to one another either.
If they wanted to butcher each other like insects trapped in a jar, then they were free to do so.
They had their own paths to take.

He had already given everyone opportunities.
The various secret martial arts manuals were so widespread in this world that they could basically be found on every corner of every street.
No one could seal it away and monopolise it anymore.

“Children, if you want the world to turn out a certain way, then go and make that come true with your own hands! If you want to do good, then go do good.
If you want to do bad, then go do bad.
I’ll be watching you from the heavens and laughing at your foolishness.”

Li Qingshan laughed aloud, stepping through the gate and vanishing into the ruins.

The children all looked at one another.
For a moment, they had no idea what to say.

Suddenly, a dark-azure cloud shot through the sky, directly crossing the horizon.
It went from the northern region to the central region, even falling down to the southern region, obscuring the skies with a wonderful, even texture.

All of the children raised their heads in surprise.
Everyone in the world could see it as long as they raised their heads.

A great cry that could not be described with words rang through the sky.
The dark-azure layer of clouds suddenly began to fall, which made everyone feel like the sky was collapsing.
The cowardly had already curled up on the ground.

Great winds rose!

It was not fierce and cold like the snowstorm.
Instead, it possessed warmth like the summer wind from the sixth month.
It made all the ice and snow in the world melt as it whistled and surged.

A verdant colour appeared in the sea of trees, bending over like tiny blades of grass.
Great waves began to surge through the eastern ocean.

The children all found it difficult to breathe.
Right when the dark-azure clouds were about to weigh down on them, it abruptly rose up again, shrinking by a hundred times in the blink of an eye.
Only then did they clearly see what it was.
It was a giant bird.
It made them all widen their eyes as they could not feel more shocked.
They felt like their minds had been burst open, feeling the endless breadth of the land.
Before they knew it, their faces had already become strewn with tears.

However, they felt no joy or sorrow inside.
They all felt extremely insignificant, actually unaware of why they were crying.

As the great winds rose, the peng took flight!

In the blink of an eye, the kunpeng had travelled far away.
The stars glimmered in the clear universe.

The children all stood on the cliff for a very long time.
When they returned to their senses, they felt a little dispirited.
Everything they had believed to be extremely important in the past had suddenly seemed insignificant now.

“Father is gone,” said Li Guinian.

“Is he really gone?” the young man asked blankly, “Didn’t he say he would be watching us from the heavens?”

Li Yuanfei patted his shoulders casually.
“Old Yao, you really are far too young.
To think you would even believe something like that.
It’s more like he’ll forever live in our hearts.”

As soon as he said that, the weather began to change.
Wisps of clouds surged forth, forming a great big smiley face under the moonlight.
It was like a child’s drawing, yet it also bore some resemblance to Li Qingshan.

Li Yuanfei murmured, “This… surely isn’t a coincidence, right?”

“How annoying!” Li Fengxian lowered her head, but she could not help but smile.

The young man suddenly yelled at the sky, “Father, just you watch! We definitely won’t disappoint you!”

Ape howls immediately rang out from the cliff, and the cloud face gradually dispersed with the winds.
