Legend of the Great Sage

wo powers went without saying.
Right now, the strength of his human cultivation was definitely even greater than before he underwent nirvāṇa rebirth.
Right now, even if the White Lotus Mother rushed over here, he could retreat with ease.

Two months earlier, he received good news from his mirror clone’s side.
Gu Yanying followed through with their agreement and helped him gather a large quantity of fire element pills and spiritual stones.
He paid her off in full, obviously thanks to Si Qing’s generosity, and asked her to continue searching.
With these resources, he could get to work with the second layer of the Phoenix’s Scripture of Nirvāṇa!

However, there was no need for him to rush.
After a lengthy period of cultivation, he needed to rest up a little, so he took out the Asura Field.

 ……

“Sister, where do you think master’s gone in the past few years? Why hasn’t he visited us even once? The tree king clearly knows, but he refuses to tell us!”

In an exquisite treehouse within the Asura Field, Ye Liusu and Ye Liubo sat together.
The steam from the tea curled upwards.

Everything in the house had been sculpted from wood and engraved with beautiful patterns.
The air gave off a refreshing fragrance of nature, worlds apart from the gloominess and eeriness underground.

“He’s probably focusing on cultivation right now! At his realm of cultivation, it’s not strange for him to enter secluded cultivation for a few years at once.
Actually, there are even regular daemons that entered secluded cultivation for decades at a time.
You better stop thinking about it too much and focus more on cultivation!”

Ye Liusu comforted Ye Liubo, but her gaze drifted away slightly as well.
Within the cultivation community, the most precious resource was time, but the most worthless resources also happened to be time. 

“What! Several decades! I’m going to die!” Ye Liubo was rendered speechless.
She lay on the round, wooden table powerlessly and groaned.

“Meetings are always brief, while partings are always long.
Haven’t you realised that, Liubo?” Ye Liusu caressed Ye Liubo’s hair and said gently.

With his talent, even becoming a Daemon King would not be a problem.
His life span stretched over ten thousand years long.
On the other hand, as night roamers, their lives were a little longer compared to human cultivators, but it was nowhere close to the life spans of daemons.
They were basically guaranteed to die before him, and that was not even the most brutal part of it all.
It was possible for him to travel even faster and even higher, ascending to a higher and more distant world.
By then, they would not be separated by time, but by space.

“I don’t care! I don’t care! I want to follow master for the rest of my life! I still haven’t had his child yet!” Ye Liubo called out like a child throwing a tantrum.

Ye Liusu sighed.
Just when she was about to say something, the scenery before her changed and a voice rang out from behind, “If you want a child, you just have to try a few extra times and you’ll definitely end up with one!”

She suddenly looked back, only to see a child around twelve or thirteen years old standing a few steps away from a lotus pedestal, gazing at them with a smile.
The voice came from him.

“You’re… master!?” Ye Liubo recognised the familiar scarlet hair and eyes immediately.

“Who else could I be?” Before Li Qingshan could even finish, Ye Liubo threw herself over, embracing him firmly.
She murmured, “Master, you’ve become so small!” Ye Liusu asked as well, “What happened?”

“Don’t you know? It’s a long story!” Li Qingshan gave a rough explanation of what happened, “…
that’s basically what happened.
I’m recovering right now, which is why I’ve shrunken, but I’ll recover very soon!”

Ye Liusu and Ye Liubo widened their eyes, completely speechless.
Killed Mo Yu and a group of Daemon Commanders! Hunted down by the Dragon King of Ink Sea! Every single matter was beyond their imagination.
He mentioned it easily, but they both felt startled by everything he went through.
They understood exactly how difficult it had been for him to survive!
