Legend of the Great Sage

unstable.
Once this power lost control, he would be completely destroyed inside out.
Even rebirthing would be impossible.

Err…

If something like inner demons could be dealt with so easily, if cultivation deviation could be suppressed so easily, then they would not be viewed as mortal enemies by all cultivators.

All demonic thoughts originated from his heart.
It was not the invasion of foreign enemies, but internal strife in the imperial court.
Even the imperial guards were unreliable, even turning against him.
Thoughts had never been something that could be contained and suppressed.

Li Qingshan could not help but get serious, but he did not panic at all.
What dangerous and urgent situations had he not seen so far? The more dangerous it was, the more motivated he became.
Plenty of sparks of inspiration appeared too.

Using force doesn’t seem to work, so let’s try this instead!

Li Qingshan sucked in a deep breath and great winds whistled past the hill, making the golden leaves rustle.
His expression became gentle and peaceful.
A qilin slowly emerged from the chaos in the chaotic world.

By now, the Yin Demon had already devoured the entire spirit turtle.
Even the Spirit Turtle’s Method of Sea Suppression that was best at suppression was useless, yet he chose to use the weakest Qilin’s Conventions of Longevity at a time like this.

He thought, The Qilin’s ability, Cycle of Life and Growth.

There were no startling disturbances.
There were no resplendent lights or shocking sounds, only the rustling of wind.
A golden leaf drifted down, circling around him before floating off, followed by another leaf.

Ruan Yaozhu was observing him.
She became nervous as soon as his presence became disorderly, like he was suffering from cultivation deviation.

“What’s going on? Even during autumn, the golden-leaved bodhi tree rarely sheds leaves!”

There was originally a green expanse beside Li Qingshan, but it rapidly withered away now.
In the blink of an eye, the withered yellow colour spread across the entire hill as if autumn had arrived.

Rustle! Countless golden leaves drifted away with the wind, like golden butterflies fluttering freely in the sunlight.

The nine-coloured deer called out, “Hey, piece of wood, he’s using some kind of wicked technique to drain the vitality of the plants around him.
Stop him!”

The yellow colour had already reached the bottom of the hill, spreading towards the precious spiritual herbs.

However, Ruan Yaozhu did not budge.
“Let’s wait and see for now!”

The nine-coloured deer gazed at her in disbelief.
Every single flower and blade of grass in the Hundred Herbs garden was precious to her, not just for the bookmarks and contribution from the Myriad sect, but also because she had poured her heart and soul into them.
Even when she offered up spiritual herbs to the Myriad sect, she refused to uproot them unless she had no other choice.
How could she just watch a bastard wantonly destroy everything that was precious to her selfishly?

The withered yellow colour had spread, and the spiritual herbs began to wilt as well.
She could no longer wait any longer.
“You might not care, but I care!”

“You’re not allowed to go!” Ruan Yaozhu ordered.

“That damned bastard, just what did he do to you!?”

Ruan Yaozhu said helplessly, “What are you thinking? He might be suffering from cultivation deviation.
He’s reached a critical moment, so he’s unable to control this either.
I will make him compensate for all the losses.” Meanwhile she wondered whether she should lend him a hand.

The nine-coloured deer paled in fright.
“Cultivation deviation!? Move him out of the Hundred Herbs garden quickly!” If he blew up, who knew how many exotic herbs he would destroy.

Ruan Yaozhu shook her head firmly.
“He’ll be fine.” He could even make it through a situation as dangerous as before after all.

This was the first time Li Qingshan had used this ability too.
Was the first ability of the Qilin Transformation actually a wicked art for devouring life?

No, of course not.

He held a fallen leaf and exhaled gently.

At that moment, the golden-leaved bodhi tree began to sprout.
The withered yellow colour was replaced by a fresh green.
The plants and trees became even more lush, almost swallowing him whole.
The wilting flowers bloomed once more too.
