Legend of the Great Sage

g to do every single day, so who knew how easy life was.
This place could basically be described as a little Sukhāvatī in the Demon domain.

However, there were still intrinsic differences.
Sukhāvatī was filled with kind people chosen by the buddha.
They had all faced the trials of mortal life and endured the torment of suffering.
No matter how fertile the land in Sukhāvatī was, it still required some labour and waiting.

However, the demonfolk in the Blood maze were just migrants among the chambers.
They ate wherever they went, slept if they were tired, and did the deed if they felt like it.
They were like infants trapped in their mother’s womb from birth to death.

The Origin Soul of great liberty left the body, and the old demonfolk died silently.
Even up until the moment of death, his expression was still so clueless as if he did not understand what “death” was and that it was just usual rest.

They lived like they were floating on empty bliss, and they died like they were resting.

Of course, no one noticed this either.

The flesh wriggled, and his hunched body gradually merged with it, vanishing very soon.
Afterwards, even more fungus grew.
The clusters were all bright-red and eye-catching, glistening with light and flourishing in the environment.

“And that’s a lifetime!” Qian Rongzhi sighed.

Li Qingshan suddenly felt the chills.
The flesh in the surroundings wriggled violently and pressed in from all directions, taking his breath away from him.
He gripped the hilt of his sword, ready to slash out.

He suddenly shook his head and discovered that the chamber was still as spacious.
The demonfolk lived easily, while those panting and grunting and moaning demonfolk all fell quiet too, loosening up, closing their eyes, and falling asleep.

There was no dreamland—they spent their days without thoughts and nights without dreams.

Li Qingshan fished out an alcohol skin and took a few sips.
He exhaled deeply.
“This place sure is absolutely terrifying.”

Actually, it was not that he was afraid of death.
Instead, he feared a life like this even more, without thought or feeling, without dreams.
That was why he had to fight and kill, as well as face the endless painful setbacks, recovering while heavily wounded, reborning in despair.

“Hiss hiss.
I heard that even before birth, people already possess sense and memories.
They might not remember it after birth, but it’s actually buried deeply in their seas of consciousness, which is why people will always search for a peaceful and comfortable environment like this.
When cultivators undergo the cycle of reincarnation, the thing they most fear is the confusions of the womb, not only because the feeble body of an infant was unable to contain their consciousness, but also perhaps because they would be captivated and enraptured by it.”

“Hmph, that’s some mad nonsense.
Are you talking about yourself?” Li Qingshan sneered.
“Once I leave here, if you don’t want to leave, I can leave you here.
Perhaps Jiuying will be willing to accept you as a goddaughter.”

“Daughter? Hehe.” Qian Rongzhi sighed with a smile.
“These muddle-headed demonfolk are actually more fortunate than many people in the world.

“Are you saying that not being born is the most fortunate?” Li Qingshan disagreed.

“Yeah, not being born would be the most fortunate.” Qian Rongzhi actually nodded and expressed her agreement.

“Then why don’t you go and die?” Li Qingshan countered with a question.

“Because I want to make the people of the world understand a little more,” Qian Rongzhi said like it was common sense.
Her cold snake eyes actually gave off a sense of determination and fervency.

Li Qingshan felt like there was something wrong with his head for trying to communicate with a madwoman.
As a result, he said nothing more and continued onwards after splitting up his clones.

“You should be asking me…” Qian Rongzhi copied Li Qingshan’s voice and said gruffly, “Oi, bitch, you’re contradicting yourself.
In reality, you just want to live, don’t you!?”

Li Qingshan shot a glare at her, but she answered her own question, “And I would answer, hiss hiss, I am self-contradictory.
You’re not different.”

Li Qingshan suddenly stopped and stressed each word, “If you dare to put me on the same level as you again…”

“Forgive me, spare me, sir.
I’ll never do it again.
Hiss hiss~”
