Legend of the Great Sage

they swore this oath, then unless she suddenly found her conscience and released them, they would have to spend the rest of their lives as slaves, and the type that was extremely loyal.

Li Qingshan looked at them with a smile.
They would never be bold enough to resist.
Even though they were very reluctant, all they could do was swear the new oath of blood.

With a flash of blood-red light, two figures appeared on the bottom of the Blood Oath Scroll.
The oath had been established!

Li Qingshan clasped his hands.
“Congratulations, congratulations!”

“Thank you, thank you!” The Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber returned the gesture with a chuckle and glanced at the pale-white Yu Wufeng.
He sneered.
“First cave master Yu, you wanted to unify the Lair of Demons, but never did you expect someone even stronger to exist! You’ve really deserved this considering someone like commander Li exists in the world!”

“You-” Yu Wufeng’s face darkened.
He was not as thick-skinned as the Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber.

Li Qingshan and Xiao An obtained control over the formations on the mountain from the two of them before sending them back to rest.
Li Qingshan even returned the Fogbow sword to Yu Wufeng in great generosity.
Since Yu Wufeng was his bruiser, it would obviously be better if he was a little stronger.

“Though, we still have to stop him from undergoing the third heavenly tribulation.” Li Qingshan instructed her.

“He won’t get that opportunity in this life,” said Xiao An.

“That’s good then.
We can finally enter secluded cultivation for a while in peace.” Li Qingshan exhaled deeply in relief.

Xiao An smiled too.
That was what she loved the most.

Li Qingshan refined the Eight Point formation and remained in the hall in the centre of the mountain that was dense with spiritual qi.
He began another round of secluded cultivation.

Li Qingshan had a total of two objectives this time.
The first was to push the Demon Suppression Statuary to a higher realm, and the second was to refine the Traitorous Demon sword into a true demonic treasure.

His human and daemon cultivation had actually always been separated from one another.
Especially when he transformed into Northmoon, his human cultivation often could not provide any help at all.
At most, he would convert it into daemon qi when he needed it, serving as a reserve of spiritual qi.
On top of that, no matter how many arcane artifacts he possessed, it would merely serve as a hindrance, completely useless to him.

The level that the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine belonged to was far too high.
Northmoon to Li Qingshan was like a giant to a dwarf.
The giant only needed to use the slightest amount of force and it could assist the dwarf in defeating powerful enemies, but even if the dwarf used everything it was capable of, it could not provide much assistance to the giant.

This long-term imbalance even began to make his human cultivation unnecessary, seeming like it was only for the sake of maintaining his appearance as Li Qingshan.
The problem was the value of his appearance as Li Qingshan and even his identity as a Hawkwolf Guard was constantly diminishing, almost to nothing.
All that remained were emotional fetters, which were basically useless.

Only after he had converted his cultivation completely to the Demon Suppression Statuary did the situation change.
Although it was one of the peak cultivation methods of this world, the Demon Suppression Statuary was still nowhere close to the Nine Transformations of Demonic and Divine, but at the very least, the dwarf had become a regular person, finally able to assist the giant.

The demon heart in his body had played quite a role in allowing Li Qingshan to easily defeat Yu Wufeng before his strength had completely recovered.
It made him stronger and faster.
Once the phoenix’s nirvāṇa wrapped up and his powers had completely merged together, perhaps Northmoon would be able to equip a brand-new set of demonic armour, merging the two powers together and allowing him to assume his most powerful form.

Correspondingly, the power of arcane treasures well surpassed arcane artifacts.
If he had not used the Demon Dragon sword to defeat the Fogbow sword, he would have never won so easily.
Every single arcane treasure was unique.
They were so powerful that even Li Qingshan valued them very much.

He focused on the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine, but when his daemon cultivation reached a bottleneck, he would walk the path of human cultivation.
The two of them complimented each other, constantly increasing his strength, which became the most optimal choice to make.

Li Qingshan sat with his legs crossed, practicing the Demon Suppression Statuary.
He surged with demon qi.
Then he placed the Traitorous Demon sword across his knees and took out a demon heart, beginning to refine the sword and cultivate.
