Legend of the Great Sage

Corpse Emperor to the imperial court!”

To her, the nine provinces were large, but there was nowhere for her to go.
She had to make use of everything she could make use of, so all she could do was use the Immortal Relinquished sword to breach the formation of the imperial court and make her way in.
However, she had to grasp the timing properly if she wanted to divert the problems, or she would be stuck in a pincer.
The imperial court of Great Xia also viewed her as a mortal enemy, and Dragonshead mountain was basically the belly of the beast.
If it were not for the fact that she was out of options, she would have never taken this risk.

The religious preceptor of the left added, “Your majesty, why don’t we use this opportunity to kill the buddha nemesis?”

Regardless of when and where, the buddha nemesis was the primary enemy of buddhism.
As for the demonfolk and the undead, they all came after the buddha nemesis.

It led to a sneer.
Everyone looked towards Qian Rongzhi.
The religious preceptor of the left frowned.
“Why do you laugh, fellow?”

Qian Rongzhi said, “I’m laughing at your priorities, religious preceptor.
If we battle it out with the buddha nemesis first, do you think the Corpse Emperor is going to thank us once he arrives? That he’ll just watch us make offerings to heaven? If the offerings to heaven fail, then it’ll only be mutual destruction.
Even the best outcome would be turning into undead.”

The religious preceptor of the left’s face changed, but upon considering her identity and origins, as well as the fact that the officials beside her agreed with her, he was forced to stay silent.

The emperor of Great Xia asked, “What would be your opinion, fellow?”

Qian Rongzhi said, “If she wants to come in, then let her in.
Don’t attack her.
Set aside your grievances for now and work with her to fend off the Corpse Emperor.”

The emperor of Great Xia said, “I’m afraid we won’t be able to fend him off.
That definitely isn’t an ordinary Corpse Emperor.”

“We can buy as much time as we can.
We’ll start the offerings to heaven immediately!”

The minister of rites said, “But we still haven’t completed all of the preparations!”

Qian Rongzhi said, “We can’t afford to worry about that.
Once the Hungry Ghost realm completely devours this world, we’ll only be able to make offerings to ghosts.”

The emperor of Great Xia glanced at the sky and suddenly discovered an additional blue star among the countless eyes.
It was extremely small and dim, but that definitely was not an eye.

In the blink of an eye, it vanished again.
He could not afford to think too much about it.
He had already made up his mind, so he ordered, “Begin the offerings to heaven!”

They immediately arrived before a tall altar in the centre of the imperial court.

The altar was composed of two bands, round on the outside and square on the inside, raised towards the north and sunken towards the south.
The exquisitely carved white jade railings were clearly different from the style of architecture by otherfolk, so it was definitely built by man.
It was not particularly large, but it was stylistically simple and grand.
It was a “temple of heaven”.

Qian Rongzhi made her way onto the altar.
Right when she was about to plant the Heaven Climbing Vine in its centre, she suddenly looked up.
She also saw the deep-blue star, shining away with extraordinary brightness.

Everyone followed her gaze.
The star vanished again.

This time, it did not take long for the star to reappear.
It was like a blue moon, shining brilliantly and illuminating the nine provinces.

From the Merfolk of the South sea to the shepherds of the Frost province, all of the living creatures gazed into the distance and asked, “What is that?”

Xiao An looked up as well.
Abruptly, she felt her own heartbeat.
That meaningless piece of flesh seemed to actually become the support of her life, beating with each flash of the star.

The feeling was abnormally warm and abnormally familiar.

When the blue moon appeared again, it smashed apart the malicious sky, flying towards Dragonshead mountain with a long tail like a colossal meteor.

Everyone in the imperial court paled with fright.
If the meteor struck Dragonshead mountain, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Xiao An gazed at it in a daze, like a girl who had made a wish towards a shooting star.

The star landed at the foot of the mountain, merging with the space there like a burst bubble before vanishing.

Before Xiao An could even return to her senses, she was firmly embraced.
His voice rang out from beside her ear, “I’ve missed you!”

The world seemed to shake.
All of her emotions since she parted with him suddenly surged through her heart.
The longing and pain, the grievances and the guilt turned the clear, tranquil lake into a surging ocean before settling again in his arms.

All of her wishes had come true.

“Qingshan…”
