Legend of the Great Sage

name.
He planted the spear into the rock and exhaled deeply.
Only after quite a while did his expression recover, except the hatred had already carved its mark into his face, no longer able to be removed anymore.

He behaved like nothing had happened.
He only took a moment of rest before immediately getting on with forging a second spear.

He needed to make use of every moment and forge twelve spears as quickly as possible.

These spears only served one purpose and could only be used once.
However, if he wanted to completely control the Demon domain, he needed every single one of them.

As for the fervent actions of the demonfolk, he completely ignored them.
He was certain that Qian Rongzhi would handle everything properly and would not let this precious manpower go to waste.

He used the heavenly winds and earthen fire to melt another pile of earthen magnetic fields before suddenly stopping what he was doing and gazing at the sky.

The black cloud surged, without the light of day to be seen.

However, Li Qingshan saw that moon through the eyes of his mirror clone and sensed its glows.
His firmly-furrowed eyebrows gradually relaxed as if he had received his mother’s comforting.

Perhaps empress Nüwa had never perished and is only in a slumber.

Li Qingshan was not certain either whether this was only a wonderful dream or a secret sign, but he did feel much better.

However, he did not engross himself in this feeling.
Instead, he paid attention to how the Primordial World operated, hoping to gain some kind of inspiration from it that would allow him to further his cultivation.

A mere True Immortal would definitely stand no chance against any of the emperors.
If he wanted to take a look at the sights of beyond the Nine Heavens for himself, then he needed to undergo the eighth heavenly tribulation—Merging the Void with the Dao!

Otherwise, as long as he took a single step out of the Demon domain, an emperor would immediately butcher him.
Probably even the heavenly emperor would not bother to do it himself.

If he wanted to win this war, he had to free the seven Great Sages.
If he could not even leave here, how was he supposed to achieve that?

However, just how difficult was Merging the Void with the Dao?

In the eyes of others, he had been advancing valiantly the entire time, becoming a True Immortal in an extremely short amount of time.
However, only he knew the issues he faced.
The internal difficulties he faced were almost as severe as his external problems.

He had become an immortal far too quickly and relied on just too many external factors, which would definitely lead to an unstable foundation and an imbalance of powers.

The Elder of Heavenly Tomes thought he had not chosen a distinct path yet, but he actually had chosen already.
That was the Qilin Transformation of the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine, which was also the primordial qilin’s path.

The reason why it seemed unpredictable, unfathomable, and vague was because he had not abandoned the other transformations of the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine and because this path was not one he had chosen proactively.

If he could choose one of the transformations among the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine to Forge his Soul back into the Void, he definitely would have chosen the Ox Demon Transformation.
That was the path most compatible with him, as well as the one that had the smallest influence over the other transformations.

However, under all these coincidences, he had sniffed the entire pond of lotus flowers in the Great Thunderclap temple of Sukhāvatī first before swallowing the Black Sun Demon Heart in the Demon domain, merging with the core laws of the Qilin Paradise and immediately pushing the Qilin Transformation to its highest realm, Forging his Soul back into the Void with ease.

The Qilin Transformation was originally the transformation he was least accustomed to.
The cultivation process was extremely difficult too, but now, it had become his most central transformation.

This brought on a severe loss in balance, not only suppressing the other transformations of the demonic and divine, but even disturbing his disposition too.
If he remained like this, the other transformations would definitely end up regressing, only leaving behind the Qilin Transformation in the end.

The crisis of the world was already imminent.
He who was born for the crisis had actually never been ready.
He was like someone who had only just begun practising qi, only to provoke an entire group of Foundation Establishment cultivators, trapped in his own dwelling and unable to leave.

And the actual situation might have been even worse.
The heavenly emperor was truly unfathomable.
