Legend of the Great Sage

orld, it was like when she went from the cabin to the deck, seeing the vast ocean all of a sudden.
Only then did she realise just how insignificant she had been back then, while the invincible “hero king” who shook up the world was merely a slightly stronger cultivator.
He only seemed so powerful in the small world, but his true cultivation was not even close to her current master’s!

She could not help but look at the old man at the front of the ship.
She clasped her hands and bowed, while the old man smiled and nodded back at her.

Her master, the Qingyang Master, was a Yin Soul cultivator who had undergone the fourth heavenly tribulation.
He founded the Qingyang temple all by himself, but in the Human realm, that was only a small sect.

Yet, she heard that in the Myriad sect that they were about to reach—the mystical city at the end of the sky and sea—fourth heavenly tribulation cultivators could only become inner disciples.
Only Yang Soul cultivators that had undergone the fifth heavenly tribulation could become direct disciples.

And that was only the disciples.
Further up, there were the Human Immortal sect masters that had undergone the sixth heavenly tribulation, as well as the grand sect master that was a True Immortal.

True Immortal—that was an unbelievable existence beyond what she could fathom, but it was also her life goal.

She wondered whether he was still trapped in the small world—no, with his abilities, he probably had broken free already! Perhaps he had already returned home to the World of the Nine Provinces he spoke of, or perhaps he had ascended to the six realms of saṃsāra.
Perhaps he might be in the Human realm too! And perhaps she might meet him again some day.

Though, don’t even think about harassing me like before!

When Yang Miaozhen gazed into the distance and thought of the past, there were also others staring at her—her appearance without any makeup possessed a sense of allure by itself.
Her hair was tied up, revealing her snowy-white neck, while her tall and slender figure made her graceful like a crane.

However, in her indiferent eyes, there would always be a feeling of gentleness, while her slender figure wrapped in daoist robes gave off a charm of maturity.
That was the mark left behind from being a wife and a mother in the past, which was something that many people in the Qingyang temple refused to believe.
They were also deeply impacted by it, struggling to imagine just what kind of man she had pledged herself to.

When she was asked, she only answered indifferently, without hiding anything, only wanting to reduce any potential problems.

No matter what kind of man he is, he’s already worlds apart from you.
He won’t be able to keep up with your footsteps.
He’s no longer worthy of you.
The one who’ll remain by your side in the future will definitely be me. Lingxiaozi silently made up his mind and made his way over to Yang Miaozhen.

Yang Miaozhen sighed inside.
Some problems would always be unavoidable.

After all, while the small world was not very large, those who could become the Ten Great Beauties were still at the standard of being the prettiest within several hundred thousand kilometres.
Their views were limited, but they did end up developing a certain kind of bearing and confidence.

Meanwhile, she had managed to remain inside for twenty years without setting a single foot outside, devoting herself to cultivation and enlightenment in a world of thin spiritual qi where martial arts practitioners reigned supreme.
Even regular Golden Core cultivators could not match her disposition.

With the two combined, her charms came forth naturally.

The ship gradually approached Myriad city, and the mystical city shrouded in mist gradually cleared up, becoming even grander.

“Junior sister Miaozhen, do you know what the most powerful cultivation method of the Myriad sect is?” Lingxiaozi began a conversation with her.

“It seems to be called the Myriad Heavenly Tomes,” Yang Miaozhen said in thought.

“That’s right.
The Myriad Heavenly Tomes contains countless heavenly tomes.
Every tome is enough for a person to become a Human Immortal.” Lingxiaozi could not help but show admiration as well.
The cultivation method he practised right now was nowhere close to any of those heavenly tomes.

Yang Miaozhen listened intently.
She was still someone who paid great concern to matters regarding cultivation.
The other disciples gathered over as well.

Lingxiaozi became even more excited.
“However, there’s another saying, that the Myriad Heavenly Tome itself is just one entity.
It’s not just the name of the collection of heavenly tomes.
It contains all the cultivation methods and paths the world has to offer.
All of the heavenly tomes manifested from it.
It’s exactly through this Myriad Heavenly Tome that the Myriad sect managed to remain so prosperous even after war.”

“It’s said that just recently, the Myriad sect fought the demonfolk in a great battle.
The Demon domain sent an army of several million under the lead of twelve Demon Sovereigns and Demon God Taowu’s consciousness descended.
The battle was extremely intense.
Even half of the Yang Soul direct disciples perished.
They were almost annihilated.
They completely relied on their first senior brother Li Qingshan to force back Demon God Taowu, which allowed them to save the situation.”

He was not bold enough to compare himself to the first senior brother of the Myriad sect, but he still was a first senior brother after all!

“What!?” Yang Miaozhen widened her eyes.
She was stunned.
