Legend of the Great Sage

tivator’s survival if they failed the tribulation.

“Then let’s go take a look?”

“I’m not going!”

“Why?”

“Can’t get annoyed if I can’t see him!” the nine-coloured deer said with great irritation.

“Alright then.
You can watch over the house then.”

Ruan Yaozhu directly projected her Yang Soul.
She was surrounded in a verdant glow.
Her clothes and jade-green waistband drifted through the air, and her dark hair was held together by an ornament.
She was like a fairy.

She left the Hundred Herbs garden in a hurry.
Her surroundings were filled by the vast ocean.
Where was she supposed to find Li Qingshan?

With a thought, her Yang Soul scattered with green light.
Under the glow, all of the plants on the island flourished, producing specks of green light that gathered towards her like fireflies, telling her about everything that happened on the island.
As a result, she determined the direction Li Qingshan had left in and flew away as a streak of green light, moving with lightning speed.

In a short while, she heard the soft rumbling of thunder and instead wavered a little. He doesn’t need me to watch over him.
It might be a little inappropriate that I’ve just rushed over here without any warning.
I might even distract him.

She also felt slightly embarrassed as if she was a little overly concerned about him.
It came out of her good intentions, but it would be bad if anyone ended up misunderstanding them, even if there was no one else around here.

Why don’t I head over there secretly and watch over him like that? If he succeeds, then I’ll secretly leave as well.
Wouldn’t that be for the best?

As a result, she made up her mind, and her figure immediately faded away, hiding into the surroundings.
Her aura had completely blended with nature as well, leaving no trace behind.
Those who practised the Heavenly Tome of Nature were extremely skilled at hiding themselves, and she was a Yang Soul right now, so even other Yang Soul cultivators would struggle to notice her.
It did not even affect her movements.
She only flew at a lower altitude, and she approached the place where the tribulation was happening very quickly.

Hmm? Why is the fourth heavenly tribulation so intense?

The sight before her left her extremely surprised.
The ocean surged violently with waves.
This region of the sea was not particularly deep, but it was completely upheaved.
The violent lightning rained down wave after wave from the tribulation clouds above her head, completely surpassing what she imagined the fourth heavenly tribulation would be like.

When she got even closer, she became even more shocked, as she could clearly see the figure of a sword flying around in the tribulation clouds.

“Is that… an armament of tribulation lightning!? How can there be armaments of tribulation lightning in the fourth heavenly tribulation?” Ruan Yaozhu said in surprise.

Even when she faced the fifth heavenly tribulation, an armament of tribulation lightning had not appeared.
Their first senior sister had faced a hammer condensed from tribulation lightning, almost left half-dead by a strike of it, but this was only the fourth heavenly tribulation!

If the fourth heavenly tribulation that regular people faced was just a routine test, then the fourth heavenly tribulation before her eyes right now was basically like the wrath of the heavens, attempting to eradicate his very existence.
The fourth heavenly tribulation she had faced back then was basically meek in comparison, like the heavens had been going easy on her.
This was another great advantage that came with practising the Heavenly Tome of Nature.
It was relatively easier when it came to the tribulations.

He’ll be fine, right?

She could not help but become worried or even slightly afraid.
She accelerated and quickly approached the centre of the tribulation clouds.
When she made her way over a great wave, she suddenly widened her eyes.

Boom!

The lightning illuminated the sky and sea, shining on a figure that stood as tall as a mountain.
It roared away furiously, contending against the heavens.

Is that..
some kind of technique?

She felt slightly uneasy, so she got a little closer.
She continued until she could not get any closer, as it would draw the heavenly lightning to her.
She was already so close that she needed to look up to see the imposing figure, leaving her in disbelief.
However, everything before her eyes told her a simple truth.

Qingshan, so you’re actually… a daemon!
