Legend of the Great Sage

der the strain of countless emotions that were fine like dust.
That was why he still stuck to certain principles, whether it was cutting down the enemy or repaying kindness tenfold.
Only like that could he continue moving on with ease.
If he could not continue any further one day and collapsed on the road, he did not want to be laughed at, nor did he want anyone to shed tears for him.

“So?”

“So you might as well accept it!” Li Qingshan took out the jade box.
A tremendous sum that could even tempt Human Sovereigns lay inside, yet he was basically all too eager to give it away right now.

Ruan Yaozhu hesitated slightly, and the nine-coloured deer held back her urge to speak up.
A while later, she sighed gently.
“Bring it over!”

Li Qingshan indicated for Li Fengyuan to grab the jade box and bring it over to Ruan Yaozhu’s hand.
Afterwards, he just perched boldly on the deer’s antlers.

The nine-coloured deer glanced at him.
She was overjoyed right now, so she did not bicker over a trifle like that. Hmph, only because you’re a phoenix!

As if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders, Li Qingshan clasped his hands and turned around with ease, off to make preparations for the upcoming battle.

Ruan Yaozhu held onto the jade box and gazed at his figure.
She wondered whether he would turn around to look at her, which would put her in a different mood.
However, he did not.
He vanished at the end of the alleyway.

She suddenly became rather despondent.
“Jiu’er, the path of cultivation sure is lonely!”

The nine-coloured deer said, “Yeah, he’s a natural cultivator, a steel-hearted bastard.”

Li Fengyuan objected to that, “Who says?”

Ruan Yaozhu smiled gently and asked, “What’s your name?”

“My name is Li Fengyuan.”

“Li! Did you take his surname?” Ruan Yaozhu asked curiously.

“Of course! He’s my first father!” Li Fengyuan said proudly.

“Father!” Ruan Yaozhu laughed out of surprise.

……

At the same time, in the towering Pavilion of Heavenly Tomes, the Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance took all of this in, including the thoughts of everyone in the Direct Disciple hall.
He watched him leave Myriad city and vanish into the ocean.
Various sentiments weighed in his heart.

He was not heartless or ungrateful, much less without any desire, yet he was capable of picking up and letting go of matters without letting it weigh him down.
A disposition like that was truly rare.
It was no wonder why he had been chosen.

The winds rose as breezes over grasslands, ending between the ranks of grass.
From the deep mountains and marshes, dragons and snakes sprang forth.
Heroes emerged from the ranks of grass.

Upheaval was imminent and threats of death would be unavoidable, as the Seven Great Sages would never admit defeat, nor could anyone completely destroy them.
So-called suppression was just a temporary ceasefire.
Even the gods and buddhas of the nine heavens were probably aware of that.

This child is probably the root of upheaval.
It’s time to contact master!

The Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance arrived on the highest floor of the Pavilion of Heavenly Tomes.
A while later, the Myriad formation that enveloped the city abruptly halted.
All of the spiritual qi gathered towards the Pavilion of Heavenly Tomes.
The pearl on the ceiling began to shine even brighter than the sun.
A streak of light rushed into the air, penetrating the barriers of saṃsāra and conveying a message to beyond the Nine Heavens.

Everyone in the city looked up in surprise.

No one could see this.
They all had no idea what was happening.
Only the direct disciples understood that the Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance was sending a message to the two sect masters as well as the grand sect master.
Because the laws of saṃsāra were far too powerful, even the immortals that had “leapt out of the six realms of saṃsāra, no longer residing within the five elements” would be affected.

However, this was even more surprising, as this would only occur in times of crisis, like when they could not hold off invading enemies.
However, it had already been several tens of thousand years since such chaotic times.
It was basically impossible for the Myriad sect to be attacked again.
However, just what else was there that could rival the sect being under attack in terms of importance?

The Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance gazed at the sky. I’ll let master make the decision about whether to sell out this kid or not.

However, that would come at the risk of personal death and destruction of the sect.
The seven of them were also renowned for their gratitude and vengefulness!
