Legend of the Great Sage

uld be the deva waiting for the thieves to ascend, or directly killing their way down the Heaven Climbing Vine to viciously punish these stowaways that were getting too ahead of themselves.

“Then the remaining are the Asura realm, the Human realm, and the Daemonic Beast realm.
We can eliminate the Asura realm as well.
Your mother is nowhere near as well-behaved as Qiongqi.” Li Qingshan blinked his eyes mischievously.

Rāhu Xiaoming smiled.
“And I can guarantee you that she’s far more difficult to deal with than Qiongqi.
She’ll never play a game like this with you.”

Li Qingshan struggled.
With the battle prowess of an asura god, she probably did not have a lot of opponents throughout the entirety of the six realms of saṃsāra.

“Then that leaves us with two choices.
For the sake of fairness, let’s vote! Those who choose the Daemonic Beast realm, raise your right hand.
Those who choose the Human realm, raise your left hand.”

Li Qingshan raised his right hand without any hesitation.
He had already caught a whiff of the wild aura from the Daemonic Beast realm, wholeheartedly choosing the path of birds and beasts.

He looked at Rāhu Xiaoming and put on a fake smile.
He had pulled a trick here.
Rāhu Xiaoming did not possess any daemon bloodline after all, so he would probably choose the Human realm.
However, Gu Yanying who pursued freedom and also possessed the legacy of the kunpeng would definitely make the same choice as him.
Xiao An went even more without saying.
She would definitely follow him.

His rigged attempt at democracy was not just to shut up Rāhu Xiaoming but also to harass him openly.
It was definitely done out of malicious intentions.

“Are you a kid?” Rāhu Xiaoming raised his left hand in exasperation.
“I choose the Human realm!”

Li Qingshan laughed complacently.
“I knew it.”

Gu Yanying smiled and also raised her left hand.
“I choose the Human realm as well.”

Li Qingshan was astounded.
“Why?”

“Because I’m not certain whether I’ll turn into prey or not.”

The Daemonic Beast realm possessed freedom, but it also followed the law of nature.
There was a brutal side to it.

Li Qingshan tried to persuade her.
“Don’t be so cowardly.
With your speed, just who can catch you?”

“Better to avoid that possibility altogether!” Gu Yanying said gracefully.
She clearly was not a woman who could be persuaded easily.

“Alright, you win, alright? But that doesn’t matter.
It’s just a draw.” Li Qingshan believed that he would still get what he wanted in the end.

“Who said it’s a draw?” Rāhu Xiaoming glanced at Xiao An as his lips curled into a smile.

Li Qingshan said seriously, “Xiao An, you’ve raised the wrong hand.”

Xiao An also looked at her jade-white left hand seriously.
“It’s right!”

Li Qingshan was dumbfounded.
He opened his mouth and roared away at the sky.
His voice reached thousands of kilometres away.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

Countless cultivators gazed over from afar.
They had no idea what was going on.

The three others looked at each other and simply smiled quietly.

Li Qingshan pointed at them in disbelief.
“Y- you’re working together to bully me.
Even you, Xiao An…”

Rāhu Xiaoming repeated what he said with a smile.
“For the sake of fairness…”

Gu Yanying patted his shoulder.
“Alright.
You’ve just been drawn towards the Daemonic Beast realm because of the wild aura.
Whether it’s to accelerate your cultivation or to find the path to Ruin’s End, we all require help and guidance.
The Human realm is the optimal choice.”

“I’ll cultivate even faster in the Daemonic Beast realm.” Li Qingshan persisted.
He could deeply sense that the Daemonic Beast realm was calling for him. If you come here, you will definitely become chosen by the heavens! I can protect you and watch over you.

Xiao An said softly, “Qingshan, that’s exactly the problem.
When you become chosen by the heavens, your human side will be restrained or even snuffed out.
If you take a long-term perspective, that’s not necessarily beneficial to your cultivation.”

Rāhu Xiaoming said, “That’s correct.
The great advantage to the Human realm is that it adheres to humanity.
There has never been any chosen children of the heavens.
Do you really wish for a voice over your head, telling you what you should do and what you shouldn’t do?” After a pause, he continued, “And we might even be able to inherit a great deal of things from Si Long!”
