Legend of the Great Sage

ly Tomes seemed to turn into a regular old man, sighing away emotionally as he narrated his entire life.

In summary, he travelled and had a fortuitous encounter, then travelled some more and had more fortuitous encounters…

“Master, what exactly are you trying to say?” At the very beginning, Chao Tianjiao had even been rather happy for being praised for possessing great ambitions, but she had lost her temper now as well.
In order to reach where they were right now, just who didn’t face countless hardships and difficulties? Yet the Elder of Heavenly Tomes had become a True Immortal through “fortuitous encounters” alone.

It was like a wastrel lamenting, “You’re all so impressive! You know how to work and labour in the fields, and you can put up with hardships.
I know nothing at all.
All I can do is inherit my family’s bank, silk shop, and the many fertile fields…”

The Elder of Heavenly Tomes smiled.
“I’m trying to say that I’m just a useless person.
I also regularly admire the great determination and aspirations of others, but at the end of the day, I can only be a useless person.”

Li Qingshan could not help but think of Gu Yanying, which made him feel a hint of envy.
He was obviously aware that the Elder of Heavenly Tomes’ path of cultivation was nowhere near as easy as he described it to be, but right now, he was like a prisoner draped in shackles, peering through the bars and seeing a free person.

The desires of the heart became shackles.
Only with no yearning in the heart could he be free.

Li Qingshan became slightly dazed, but he recovered his determination very soon.
Even if he was stuck behind bars, wracked with agony, this was the path that Li Qingshan wanted to walk.
He would continue until he tore off all of the shackles and broke free from all the restraints!

This change in him vanished in a flash, but everyone present possessed keen senses.
Nothing would escape their eyes.

Chao Tianjiao sighed inside. This kid sure possesses determination like steel!

However, Li Liehuo seemed to find some kind of inspiration from that.
Flames lit up in the depths of his eyes.

The Elder of Heavenly Tomes said, “When I first began travelling, I often rode mules, then I rode the winds, then I controlled the sword, and now, I control the clouds.
But to me, they’re actually all the same, while the Dao is just a mule that isn’t very good.”

“Impressive spirit, old bro!” Li Qingshan shuddered inside.

The Dao represented endless power, paramount authority, and undying existence.
Even the True Immortals in the heavens only dreamed of it, so who viewed it as a mule?

Li Liehuo lowered his head and looked at his hands.
For the sake of increasing their cultivations, cultivators truly stopped at nothing, like they were mad.
For the sake of becoming more compatible with the Heavenly Tome of Scorching Fire, he had changed his name.
In the eyes of the Elder of Heavenly Tomes, it was probably as strange as a normal person suddenly changing their names to “Mule Li”.

However, his exact wish was to burn and roar like fire!

“You flatter me, you flatter me.” The Elder of Heavenly Tomes waved his hand in a hurry.
“Sigh, it’s quite late, so we better attend the banquet!”

By now, the sky had gradually begun to dim.
It was already dusk.
A magnificent afterglow lit up the horizon.

The Elder of Heavenly Tomes summoned the auspicious cloud again and gazed at the blue sky.
A few dim specks had lit up.
His eyes shone with hope.
“During the time we spoke, a few months have already passed in a few worlds.
Can you imagine the passing of seasons, just how many joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, have occured?”

At that moment, he seemed to take off his worldly-wise mask, returning to his true self, that wastrel who neglected his duties and liked to travel.

What demand for surrender? What crisis of the world? That was all part of a boring job.
He was like a regular person, in a hurry to complete what was on hand so that he could live the life he wanted to live.

He wanted to go to some world, enter some restaurant, stand by the rail, gaze at the moon, and have a drink.

Beyond the Nine Heavens was perhaps the home to gods and buddhas, but it was not his home.
His home was in the depths of the sea of stars.

The heavenly emperor’s path was the true dragon’s path.
However, some dragons wanted to soar beyond the Nine Heavens and stand above all else, while other dragons only wanted to lurk in the abyss and roam around freely.
