Legend of the Great Sage

iple at the headquarters.
Her status is much higher than ours!”

“Let’s go seek refuge under your sister then!”

“Why?”

“Because the Zi Lotus altar is about to be destroyed!” Li Qingshan was obviously attempting to use the same trick so that he could go to the headquarters of the White Lotus cult and find the lord of the Clear Ripple hall he had not seen in a long time.

“Kill him!” The disciples of the White Lotus cult swarmed over.
Various gu insects buzzed through the air.

An invisible, murderous aura enveloped the entire hall.
In that moment, time seemed to come to a standstill.
Everyone froze up, unable to move.
Even the gu insects fell to the ground.

Li Qingshan made his way out while holding Xianghua Lu’s hand, making his way off the mountain in a short while.
He glanced backwards.
Xianghua Zi followed behind in a hurry and saw how he looked over, so she bowed in a hurry.
“Sir, aren’t you going to silence these people?”

“That’s not for you to worry about!” Li Qingshan said.

There was one when he came, and there were two when he left.
He was a step closer to Xianghua Man’s promise.

Li Qingshan opened up the mental map of the Mist province Gu Yanying had provided him with and gazed at the entire land.
It was over ten times larger than the Green province.
He found the location of the White Lotus cult’s headquarters, which was rather far from here.
With their cultivation, they would probably have to walk for several months, and they had to find somewhere appropriate to rest up first.
Once time was right, he could simply fly over them with them.

An hour later, another rumble rang out from the direction of the Zi Lotus altar.
Light filled the night sky constantly.

At this moment, it began to rain heavily.
The lightning rumbled and roared, making the two different sources of light merge together.

Gold Thread reverted to her true form, a huge, gold-scaled python.
She constantly attacked the formation.
The formation was powerful, but no one was controlling it, so it could not escape the fate of being destroyed.

“Let’s go and report the news that the Zi Lotus altar has been taken by the Snake God cult.
We might even be able to earn ourselves a position as disciples at the main headquarters!”

Li Qingshan swung his hand, and clouds rose up beneath his feet.

When dawn was about to break, a streak of light sped over from the south-eastern direction, landing on the mountain peak in the blink of an eye and turning into an old man with white hair.
Her face was filled with wrinkles, but she seemed extremely kind.
Her deep smile lines made her seem like she smiled at all times.
She held a white lotus flower in her hand.

The White Lotus Mother glanced around, and she frowned slightly.
The Zi Lotus altar had already been reduced to ruins, without a single living person in sight anymore.
Moreover, the residual daemon qi had already become extremely faint, preventing her from tracking them down.

Obviously, Gold Thread was not foolish enough to kill the altar lord first.
Instead, she took the Zi Lotus altar first and wreaked destruction before killing the altar lord.
Originally, she wanted to ask what was going on in the White Lotus cult, but as soon as she woke up the altar lord, he immediately flew into a frenzy.

Li Qingshan had casually tossed the altar lord into the Asura Field, so the aura of the Asura Field had influenced him.
He did not possess the slightest rationality at all, so all Gold Thread could do was swallow him whole.

“How useless!” the White Lotus Mother said.

As for Li Qingshan who was behind this all, he currently sat on a cloud leisurely and flew towards the south.

“Look, sister.
We’re flying so high and so fast!” Xianghua Lu leaned on the edge of the cloud and peered down.
The endless sea of trees was like a furry, green carpet.

“Sir, this doesn’t seem to be the direction of the headquarters!” Xianghua Zi said.

“We’re not going to the headquarters!” Li Qingshan said. 

The headquarters of the White Lotus cult was to the south-east.
He obviously had his reason for choosing this direction.
He discovered a palm-sized region of water on the mental map of the Mist province, which was one thousand five hundred kilometers due south!

Several hours later, the rising sun turned into a setting sun and rippling light appeared on the horizon.

“We’re finally here!”

Li Qingshan’s eyes lit up, and he accelerated.
The rippling light soon turned into a boundless region of water that stretched as far as the eye could see, reflecting the rosy clouds in the sky.
It was like a magnificent crystal embedded in the sea of trees.
Even when he flew up to the edge and sat on the cloud, high in the air, he could not see its end.

Xianghua Lu, who had already grown rather numb to flying, sighed in amazement.
“Is this the ocean?”

“Don’t tell me this is the legendary Great Marsh of Cloud Dream!” Xianghua Zi said in surprise.
Since young, she had heard people mention just how large and vast the Great Marsh of Cloud Dream was in the south, but never had she seen it for herself.

“That’s right!”

Li Qingshan sucked in a deep breath and sensed the dense water spiritual qi in the marsh.
Sure enough, this was an unexplored, unexcavated virgin land!

On the map, it was only the size of a palm, but in reality, it was a huge region of water that stretched thousands of kilometers.
It even covered an area larger than the entire Clear River prefecture.
The major lakes of the Ruyi commandery all seemed tiny compared to it.
If he wanted to refine this place, it would be rather tough even with the Water God Seal in his possession.

Although the Mist province was a chaotic, lawless land, taking out such a large Water God Seal was basically impossible.
As a result, there were several powerful clusters of daemon qi in the lake, but no existence of a water god.

He found a lone island and descended on the cloud.
Li Qingshan did not take out the Water God Seal to begin refining this place immediately.
Time was still not right.
His visit this time was more for knowledge and investigation, as well as to find a suitable place to cultivate.

There might be some problems during his visit to the headquarters of the White Lotus cult, so he needed to push the Demon Suppression Statuary to the peak of the sixth layer.
Aside from that, he also needed to… 

He took out a ring.

The Soaring Dragon sword was right in there!
