Legend of the Great Sage

cultivation deviation and be destroyed by her own powers.

And they actually had a way to undo this dead knot, to shake her will from her core and twist her beliefs, all the while without making her suffer from cultivation deviation.

From a certain perspective, it even paved a new path for her.

Li Qingshan thought, At this rate, she might actually choose to join the Demon domain and become a Demon Sovereign.
What am I supposed to do if I stop her? Sigh, if she becomes a Demon Sovereign, what benefit will that bring me? I’ll probably be affected by the demonic thoughts as well.

He circulated the Heavenly Tome of Liberty again, blocking out all the demonic thoughts for her.

Chao Tianjiao opened her eyes.
Her cheeks were red, and she was still a little lost.
Suddenly, she realised something and said with great sincerity, “Thank you.” If it were not for him, she probably really would have demonified.

“You’re welcome.
You’re not completely unfeeling either!”

“Yeah!” Chao Tianjiao said glumly, “I really want to keep living!”

An unprecedented desire for survival surged forth from her scorching heart, and an even deeper pain welled up as well, which made her clench her fist.
It was not just now.
She had fallen into dire straits a long time ago.
She knew her chances were slim, almost non-existent, yet she was forced to continue down this path at the same time.

Li Qingshan asked, “Are you going to surrender to the Demon domain?”

Chao Tianjiao’s gaze gradually became determined again, but she was no longer influenced by her power.
Instead, that was a decision she had made with her own free will.

“Let’s die together!”

The Yang Soul lit up with the cold light of stars again.
She no longer tried to buy any more time, or her desire to live would crush everything else.

“Hold on!”

“You afraid? That’s fine, I’m a little afraid as well.
Don’t worry, it won’t hurt,” Chao Tianjiao spoke like she was comforting a child as the Yang Soul’s glow became scorching.

Li Qingshan asked, “Do you want to undergo the sixth heavenly tribulation?”

“You have a way?” Chao Tianjiao’s eyes shone.

“Yeah, but it’s very dangerous.”

“What is it?” Chao Tianjiao instead became a little more convinced.

Li Qingshan spat out two words slowly, “Dual cultivation.”

Chao Tianjiao was taken aback.
She sneered.
“You’re not trying to deceive me, are you?”

Li Qingshan said seriously, “Of course not.” Of course, I’m toying with you.

In the past, Chao Tianjiao probably would have killed him on the spot without batting an eye. Even at a time like this, this shitty man is trying to take advantage of my situation. However, prompted by her will to live, she decided to hear him out before killing him on the spot.

“Go on.”

“You walk the path of xuanwu.
Your power is too pure and too extreme, gradually eating away at your mind and turning you into a slave to power.
Of course, you don’t have the right to undergo the sixth heavenly tribulation and become a Human Immortal.”

Chao Tianjiao nodded.
She had reached the peak of the fifth heavenly tribulation a long time ago.
There was nothing impressive about that either.
As long as no accidents happened, all Human Sovereigns would eventually reach that stage.
However, most of them would be stuck at this stage forever, unable to overcome the barrier to immortality.

That was because Human Sovereign was the limit for cultivators, forced to wield unprecedentedly tremendous power as “mortals”, which would definitely lead to all kinds of problems and trials.

Seeing how she had taken the bait, Li Qingshan continued to persuade her.
“Meanwhile, I practise the Heavenly Tome of Liberty, and I walk the path of Maheśvara.
Sects and schools that worship Maheśvara have been labelled as lesser, heretical paths, and among them is one called the Śāktaṃ school.
They are most skilled in dual cultivation methods.
Perhaps we can try and use dual cultivation to help you control that power and wear away its edge.”

Chao Tianjiao sank into her thoughts as if she was rather tempted.
In this demonic egg of chaos, she could indeed see that possibility.
