Legend of the Great Sage

o revolt against the heavens, he could only be a daemon.

Then, he would be a daemon.

“If you were a Great Sage, what would you do?”

“I’d do everything I can to kill you.
At most, I won’t hang you on my banner pole.
I’ll burn a few sticks of incense for you too,” Li Qingshan swung the bamboo pole and said with some slight pity.

“What if I don’t oppose you?” the Elder of Heavenly Tomes asked.

Li Qingshan said firmly, “I always keep a clear record of the debts I owe and the debts I am owed.
If you don’t oppose me, I definitely won’t oppose you either!”

Only a fool would reject the opportunity to convince an enemy True Immortal into backing down from a single promise.
Now this was called gathering all the power that could be gathered.

Otherwise, who knew how much difficulty and what price he would have to pay to kill this old bastard.

The Elder of Heavenly Tomes shook his head.
“Still not enough!”

Li Qingshan patted his chest and said in guarantee, “If you need help with anything, old bro, I’ll definitely lend you a hand!”

The Elder of Heavenly Tomes smiled in satisfaction.
“That’ll be it then.” He stretched his arms.
“With that, both my private and formal matters are settled.” He waved his hand.
“You’ve rested up enough too.
Grab your pole and let’s go attend the banquet!”

Li Liehuo and Chao Tianjiao basically had no idea what was going on from the side.
Wasn’t the Elder of Heavenly Tomes’ “public matter” to enlist Li Qingshan to their side? Yet, not only did Li Qingshan have no intentions of accepting the enlistment, but he even seemed like he wanted to fight to the very end.
How was that settled?

And why would a mighty close subject of the heavenly emperor require a promise from the chief enemy, even going as far as to offer up the entire Myriad sect for this favour?

The Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance suddenly asked, “Master, will you be entering rebirth again?”

“Yeah! Though, you and I are both going this time.
I’ve chosen a good place that probably won’t be affected by the crisis.
This time, Ruin’s End probably won’t be peaceful either.” The Elder of Heavenly Tomes was aware that the Mountain-moving Great Sage was imprisoned there.

Li Qingshan was shocked.
Originally, he thought the Elder of Heavenly Tomes only wanted to maintain neutrality so that he would remain untouched no matter who won.
He never expected the Elder of Heavenly Tomes to be so “radical”.

By “entering rebirth again”, that was basically no different from dying.

He had never thought that his might was so great that he would actually frighten a True Immortal into committing suicide on the spot.

The Elder of Heavenly Tomes said, “Don’t misunderstand me, little bro.
I’m not avoiding you, but the Dao.”

Li Qingshan said, “Yes, yes, yes.
Old bro, you really are a True Immortal! You understand the Dao the best!” However, his expression was “I’m fucking awesome”!

The Elder of Heavenly Tomes said helplessly, “You know about my origins.
Have you ever heard of this name before?”

“What?”

“The Five Absolutes Immortal.”

“That’s you!”

Li Qingshan immediately recalled the flash of inspiration he had experienced when he first saw the Elder of Heavenly Tomes, reminding him of the legendary figure from the World of the Nine Provinces, the Five Absolutes Immortal.
When he ventured around through the nine provinces, he often ran into all sorts of things left behind by the Five Absolutes Immortal, like some Dragon King of Ink Sea or some sword called Deviance.
They had all almost ended his life.

And when he first began cultivating, he had even gathered quite a few pieces of the Cursive Sword Calligraphy!

Now that he recalled it, the quality of the item was not particularly high, but it had gained brother ox’s recognition, which was simply unbelievable.

As a result, he asked, “That was your clone?” If the Cursive Sword Calligraphy was the work of a True Immortal, then it would make sense.

The Elder of Heavenly Tomes said, “Not a clone, but my actual body.
Clones don’t work.”

Li Qingshan questioned closely, “To avoid the previous crisis of the world?”

The Elder of Heavenly Tomes shook his head.
“Not that.
Back then, the previous crisis of the world had already passed.
As I said, it was to avoid the Dao.”

Li Qingshan was confused.
“What’s wrong with the Dao?”

Wasn’t the exact thing that all cultivators pursued? They all wanted to Merge the Void with the Dao.
That represented endless power, limitless abilities, and an undying existence.

Li Qingshan’s primary objective right now was to Merge the Void with the Dao as well.
