Legend of the Great Sage

ousand years!”

“Yeah, ten thousand years,” Li Qingshan smiled and mumbled.
He watched the figure gradually vanish off into the distance, sinking into the darkness.
He woke up from his dream and heard someone whisper, “Second father, what’s first father going on about with the ten thousand years?”

“He’s talking about the time and effort I put in for you.
You have to be a good boy in the future, alright?” Feng Xiwu never forgot to educate him.

“Okay!” Li Fengyuan nodded obediently as his eyes circled about, gazing at Li Qingshan eagerly.

Li Qingshan yawned and stretched himself out before sitting up and leaning on his hand.
His head still felt a little painful, and he was still filled with exhaustion.
He had not completely recovered yet.

He had gone through several months of consecutive battle, cleaning up demon caverns.
Then he fell into the Twelve Citadel Demon Formation of the Ominous, followed by the demon cavern.
He underwent the third heavenly tribulation, confronted the seven Demon Kings, and was even hunted down by a Demon Emperor.
In the end, he even faced a Demon God.

He had gone through so much.
Probably just one of them was enough to leave a regular great cultivator utterly exhausted, but he had gone through it all in a single breath.
In battle, he never lacked fighting spirit, but he would also feel utterly exhausted following the battle.

“First father, you’re awake.” Li Fengyuan glanced at Xiao An carefully and greeted him softly, following the rules.

“Damned brat.
It’s just been a few months.
Where’s your enthusiasm gone? Don’t pick up your second father’s bad habits.” Li Qingshan reached over with his huge hand and pulled Li Fengyuan into his arms.

“I was sent flying by you when I was enthusiastic.
Stop! You’re going to break me!” Li Fengyuan felt his bones crackle between Li Qingshan’s arms.

“Really? How come I don’t remember that?” Li Qingshan scratched his head and laughed aloud.
“Though, it makes perfect sense for a father to give his son a beating.
It’s filled with my dense, fatherly love!”

Li Fengyuan’s tiny face twisted as if he was about to vomit.

“What’s wrong? You’re unconvinced about this?” Li Qingshan shot him a glance and used a little more force.
Li Fengyuan immediately said, “I’m convinced, I’m convinced.
Mighty be first father.
Even when you beat me up, reason is on your side, so how can I be unconvinced?”

Feng Xiwu sighed.
To think that the world actually had such a spineless phoenix, and he was clearly being overwhelmed by force, yet he still acted like he was enjoying himself.
Feng Xiwu really had no idea what to say.

“I didn’t think you’d undergo the third heavenly tribulation so soon.
Looks like I still ended up underestimating you.”

“Second father!” Li Qingshan snickered, and Li Fengyuan immediately understood him, giggling along too.

“Shut your mouth!”

 ……

After some small jokes and laughter, Li Qingshan told them about what had happened.
He did not hide too many details from Feng Xiwu and the little phoenix.
He only hid aspects that were directly connected to their secrets, such as Xiao An’s Path of White Bone and Great Beauty.

The little phoenix leaned on his shoulder and was absolutely enraptured by his tale, tempted to become a part of it and charge into battle with Li Qingshan.

“Qiongqi!” Feng Xiwu was extremely shocked.
Only people at his realm of cultivation could comprehend what a true god signified.
When Li Qingshan purged demons, it was actually all a trap evil god Qiongqi set up, and he had even directly descended here with a clone in the end, inviting Li Qingshan to join the Demon domain.

If it were not for the fact that Feng Xiwu knew Li Qingshan was not the type to boast and go on about nonsense, he basically would have suspected he was still dreaming or making up a fairytale to fool children.
It was a story beyond belief.

“Yeah, that bastard.
He sure has nothing better to do.
How can there be a god that’s that bored? Fortunately, he was bored enough.
Originally, I thought I was dead for sure, but I didn’t think he just wanted a five-hundred-year promise,” Li Qingshan said rather happily. 

Back then, it truly had been certain death.
Even if he were in perfect condition, he stood no chance even when working together with Xiao An.

“Qingshan, you’ve probably been deceived by him!”
