Legend of the Great Sage

nd, she would have been bisected immediately.

And once the skandha-māra entered the final phase of “consciousness arose from actions”, death was guaranteed even without the tribulation lightning.

That was because the most terrifying of enemies never originated externally, but internally.
Once her consciousness fell under the control of her inner demons, she would immediately suffer from cultivation deviation.
The powers she had accumulated over thousands of years of cultivation would completely lose control, turning her into a bomb and blasting her out of existence.
Let alone becoming a Corpse Liberated Immortal, even reincarnation would no longer be possible.

The nine-coloured deer stared straight at the sky.
She was extremely tense.
Seeing Ruan Yaozhu get hurt, she could not help but turn towards Li Qingshan furiously, wanting to unleash some curses, but she was also worried about disturbing Ruan Yaozhu.

However, Li Qingshan said, “Don’t worry, she’s much stronger than you imagine her to be.”

Ruan Yaozhu sensed that her five skandha had flared.
She had already reached the verge of the most dangerous situation.
However, a thought clearly surfaced in her head, I still can’t die! I still haven’t… heard the ending to the story.

She could not help but mock herself to be a piece of wood, a fool, but even at this moment, she did not completely lose faith in that man, even though he had already destroyed everything for her.

As a result, without any more hesitation, she circulated the Heavenly Tome of Nature and projected out her Yang Soul!

Immediately, green light filled the sky, even drowning out the lightning.

This was the first time Li Qingshan had seen her Yang Soul.
Its appearance was identical to her, but it possessed the additional charm of a fairy.

Her eyes and hair were both a jade-green with a pair of small, delicate antlers on her forehead.
She was unclothed, but she was draped in plants, surrounded by vines and leaves that obscured her graceful figure.
She bore great resemblance to the mountain spirit described by Qu Yuan.

“There seems to be someone passing by the mountain recess.
It’s me, draped in vines and wrapped in lichen.
Gazing tenderly at how beautiful the smile is, you will envy my graceful figure.”

After projecting her Yang Soul, her body’s expression settled down, sitting down with her legs crossed and her eyes closed, like she was sleeping.

Above her, the Yang Soul unleashed all of its powers and shone at full glow, naturally possessing a demeanor of purity, standing aloof from the world.

From a Golden Core to a Soul Nascence, then from Yin Soul to Yang Soul, cultivators forged their souls into their greatest weapon.
It was not just a condensation of power, but also a condensation of consciousness.

Once the Yang Soul left the body, it was immediately isolated from most of the influence from the “body of form”, and the flaring skandha-mara settled down too.
She was rapidly digesting the spiritual qi that Li Qingshan had channeled into her, turning into an Origin Soul.

She waved her slender arms covered in leaves and towering trees rose up from the ground, forming a thick enclosure around her.
Even when they were reduced to ash by the lightning, new trees rose up to replace them endlessly.

Li Qingshan smiled.
She had already comprehended something from the Qilin’s Conventions of Longevity.
She had done so even faster than he had in the past.

As such, Ruan Yaozhu could turn her attention to fending off the tiny sword.
She could even spare the effort to glance deeply at Li Qingshan.

Support us at bit.ly/3Tfs4P4.

Li Qingshan understood that if he could not provide her with an explanation, she would definitely exterminate demons and guard the orthodoxy.

Bamboo was slender, but it would rather snap than bend.

The nine-coloured deer could not help but let out a sigh of relief, blinking her eyes and even stretching a little.
Just the tiny sword alone clearly was not enough to threaten Ruan Yaozhu.
Succeeding with the tribulation was only a matter of time now.

When it came to this, not only did she place no blame on Li Qingshan, but she was even slightly thankful to him.

After all, if it were not for Li Qingshan, who knew how long it would take before Ruan Yaozhu became a Human Immortal.
She was not concerned with the plants in the Hundred Herbs garden like Ruan Yaozhu.
If she were free to graze on them, the garden would have become barren a long time ago.

We’ve fallen out with the Myriad sect anyway, so we’ll go for one last haul and then flee to the Daemonic Beast realm.
Hehe, with our talent, who’ll be able to find us? Now that the crisis of the world is imminent, that dumb piece of wood doesn’t know self-preservation at all.
She’ll definitely lead the charge for the Myriad sect, so the dangers of dying are just too high.

With that in mind, this outcome was actually not too bad.
Ruan Yaozhu had suffered a lot, but compared to the result of becoming a Human Immortal, it was all nothing.

Yep, yep.
Li Qingshan has played his role as the villain quite well, or that dumb piece of wood would never do this.
Though, this kid is a huge source of misfortune, so we better not run into him again for the rest of our lives!

But at this moment, Li Qingshan raised his eyebrow, having sensed something.

Under the expanse of tribulation clouds in the darkness, three figures gradually emerged.

The nine-coloured deer paled in fright.
“Kleśa-māra!”
