Legend of the Great Sage

>“I definitely won’t disappoint you!”

Li Qingshan nodded in satisfaction.
He raised his hand and pressed down on his forehead before vanishing from the world.

Wu Tieshan felt like he had fallen into the stormy seas again, leaving his head spinning for quite a while.
He discovered that a cultivation method called the Arts of the Boundless Ocean had appeared in his sea of consciousness.

Looking into it a bit, he immediately cheered, “Long live the hero king!‘ The cultivation method was basically a perfect fit for him and a perfect fit for the current situation.
It could actually allow him to undergo the second heavenly tribulation.
Just how great of a cultivation was that?

He turned towards the Stone Heart Empress.
As someone who could stand on equal footing with the hero king, her identity must have been something else.
He cleared his throat.
“If you have any orders, senior, just let me know.”

“You can cultivate for now! I will call you when I need you.”

The Stone Heart Empress found a rock and sat down with her legs crossed, absorbing the spiritual qi.

A very large portion of her world had been digested by the small world.
As its only survivor, she did not face the rejection of spiritual qi, so it was only a matter of time before her cultivation recovered.

However, once her cultivation reached the limits of what this world could contain, she could neither ascend nor traverse through space, so she would still be trapped here.
By then, she would still have to ask Li Qingshan for help.
That was the awkwardness that came with losing her world.

Li Qingshan’s attention returned to outer space.
Navy Li’l Fatty carried out the third teleportation, crossing ten million kilometres with ease.

Outer space flickered with lightning as Rāhu Xiaoming faced the second heavenly tribulation.
Ever since he received the endless supply of spiritual qi, this child of an asura god had been making progress at a tremendous pace, not just because of his bloodline, but also because he had taken this path once before.
He was like a doctoral student in high school.
It could not get any easier than that.

He could not help but think of the Reincarnated Celestial, Chu Tian.
After inheriting his past memories and becoming Lin Xuan, he probably grew rapidly too! However, he was probably also constrained by the quality of spiritual qi.

A while later, Rāhu Xiaoming returned.
He was so relaxed and leisurely that he seemed like he had just returned from a holiday.
He became much older again, now a handsome young man around thirteen or fourteen years old.
His strength was already on par with regular great cultivators.
When they actually became locked in battle, the one dying definitely would not be him.

However, his demand for the quality and quantity of spiritual qi also surpassed regular cultivators.
“The quality of spiritual qi from the small world is still too low, with far too many impurities.
You don’t need to provide me with any more in the future.
I’ll undergo the third heavenly tribulation once I return to your nine provinces!”

Li Qingshan agreed with that.
Cultivators had to ascend to higher and larger worlds so that they could obtain a more appropriate environment for cultivation.

“Oh right, I just obtained two cultivation methods.
Take a look and give you your appraisal.”

“Ah, the Sovereign’s Limit Record of World Prosperity and the Sovereign’s Limit Record of World Destruction does bear some resemblance to great lord Maheśvara’s path, except it’s nowhere close in terms of quality.
Great lord Maheśvara grasps destruction and prosperity with his two hands.
Compared to that, these two cultivation methods seem a little half-assed…”

“But from the perspective of mortals, it’s quite impressive.
It reaches the apex of mortals.
For once, it contains a sliver of the will of great destruction.
It would be very difficult to comprehend so far unless you experienced the destruction of a world…”

Li Qingshan listened carefully and benefited tremendously.
The knowledge of gods truly was extraordinary.
Most importantly, it came from a certain height.

At this moment, Gu Yanying stopped cultivating too, also saying that the spiritual qi of the small world was no longer of much help to her anymore.
It was enough to maintain her current cultivation, but she would struggle to make any progress with it.

Li Qingshan clapped his hands.
“Alright, we’ll stop here with cultivation.
Let’s set off immediately! Final stop, the nine provinces!”

Navy Li’l Fatty swung his tail, producing a cascading wave of ripples as it slid several tens of thousand kilometres ahead before suddenly vanishing into space.
