Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 601-Chapter 700)

“What?” Li Qingshan was mildly surprised, but it made perfect sense upon thinking about it. The position of great general was not hereditary. Han Anguo had died in battle, so they obviously needed a replacement. Since Si Qing could obtain the position of Marquis of Ruyi, he could also obtain a great general. In terms of strength alone, E Dan completely possessed the right.

He said apologetically, “I didn’t think I’d get the Han family into trouble.” He was a Scarlet Hawk commander, so E Dan could not touch him, but the Han family would be exposed to his forceful control.

“You have to stop yourself from acting so rashly in the future. The Han family isn’t as weak as you think. And, even without you, E Dan would never give up on the position of great general. However, for him to obtain this tiger tablet won’t be so easy either.”



As Han An spoke, he took out a tiger tablet. The tiger tablet was shaped like a black tiger. It was not too big, and the sculpting was not detailed, making it seem very much like a mass-produced product. However, it seemed to leap out of the tablet with its fierce posture.

Like the Marquis of Ruyi’s Seal of Mountains and Rivers, the tiger tablet was the representation of the great general, as well as something that had been passed down through the Han family.

The position of great general was not hereditary, but the Han family had an extensive family tree and knew how to raise their descendants. As such, a suitable successor would often appear in the clan before the previous great general had even passed away. Just like this, all the disciples of the school of the Military of the entire Ruyi commandery were connected to the Han family.

As the current patriarch, if Han Anjun lost the tiger talisman, then he would have let down his ancestors. As a result, whether Li Qingshan offended E Dan or not no longer mattered. E Dan had always viewed the Han family as a thorn in his side.

Li Qingshan frowned. “Why can’t Foundation Establishment cultivators succeed to the position of great general?”

Han Anjun said, “After you left, I also went on a journey. I went to South Hub city and met with the Great General King. Out of consideration of our past, the Great General King did not agree to E Dan succeeding to the position of great general, allowing the position to remain with my Han family before temporarily dismissing the matter. There’s obviously nothing that E Dan can do to our Han family right now.”

Li Qingshan smiled. “Obviously.”

The “Great General King” was the greatest figure from the school of the Military in the Green province. He was someone impressive who stood on equal footing with the lord of the Green province, leading all soldiers and generals of the Green province. As long as he put out a word, E Dan would never act rashly no matter how vicious he was.

Han Anjun shook his head slightly. “The position of great general cannot be dismissed forever. I plan to enter the Asura Field and cultivate arduously. As long as I can break through to the second heavenly tribulation, the tiger tablet will remain with my Han family.”

He recalled what the Great General King had said, Anguo is a dear general of mine, and the Han family has been a clan of generals for many generations. Although you’ve encountered difficulties, there’s no reason for you to give up hope. I can see you possess your elder brother’s bearing, so are you bold enough to enter my Asura Field for training?

“The Asura Field!” Han Qiongzhi exclaimed. Clearly, this Asura Field was not a safe place. She wanted to say something, but she decided to straighten out her body and say proudly, “May success come your way, father. May you undergo the heavenly tribulation soon and revitalise the renown of our Han family!”

Han Anjun said in delight, “Qiongzhi, you’ve grown up.”

“I also wish for success to come your way, general. Be sure to not miss the day of our wedding. This pill can be the engagement present.”

“This is… an Origin Spirit pill! Where did you get this from?”

Even with Han Anjun’s composure, he could not help but be taken aback when he saw the Origin Spirit pill in Li Qingshan’s hand. After all, the pill was far too precious, especially to him right now.

Li Qingshan said, “This was from commander Gu.”

“Sure enough, commander Gu values you extraordinarily. She specially gave this to you for your second heavenly tribulation! You better keep it. I can’t accept such a precious gift.”

Han Anjun calmed down immediately. He shifted his gaze away from the Origin Spirit pill and gazed at Li Qingshan deeply. His explanation did not completely convince him.

“Then that would mean you oppose my marriage with Qiongzhi!”

Li Qingshan said as he shot a glance at Han Qiongzhi. The Origin Spirit pill was not essential to him, but it was quite important to the Han family.

Han Qiongzhi said after some hesitation, “Father, just accept it. You can do it for the sake of the Han family.”

Han Anjun contemplated with his eyes closed for quite a while before letting out a long sigh and accepting the Origin Spirit pill. Afterwards, he bowed deeply to express his gratitude. How could Li Qingshan accept such a great gesture from him? He shifted to the side and avoided the bow.

However, what Han Anjun said after straightening himself left Li Qingshan and Han Qiongzhi completely surprised.

“In the very beginning, I didn’t find the two of you a suitable match. I still stand by my belief right now.”

“The Han family is great and influential, while I’m just a kid from the mountains. Our status is a little striking.”

Li Qingshan furrowed his brows, but in consideration of the spirit turtle’s forbearance and patience, his brows eased up again. He spoke with a smile, but he could not help himself as his tone objected slightly to Han Anjun’s words.

Han Qiongzhi also said with discontent, “Father, so much has happened already, yet you still say something like that. You want to temper your daughter, but has your daughter ever disappointed you…”

Han Anjun raised his hand to stop Han Qiongzhi from continuing. He gazed at Li Qingshan and said, “Qingshan, I don’t hold any prejudice towards you. Actually, I thought you were a talent right from the beginning, and everything that happened afterwards completely exceeded my expectations. It’s even possible to call you a startling genius. You are already on a path to achieving greatness. I’m not belittling myself, but my daughter is a little unworthy of you.”

“It’s not like I’m looking for a companion to charge into battle with. Are you telling me I’m supposed to find a woman with a similar cultivation?” Li Qingshan said in objection. He held Han Qiongzhi’s hand to express his determination.

“Let me finish. With your personality, offending E Dan today was definitely no coincidence, but the Great General King’s special treatment was very much a coincidence. The enemies you encounter in the future might not be able to do anything to you, but you can’t just neglect the entire family of people behind you. If you constantly challenge the strong while still having to consider for your family, will you find satisfaction?”

Li Qingshan said nothing. He could not help but admit that Han Anjun’s words had been very insightful. He had basically dismantled Li Qingshan’s character. Even Li Qingshan had no idea how many powerful enemies he would encounter on his way to the Nine Heavens. He was confident he could protect Han Qiongzhi, but what about her family?

He felt Han Qiongzhi’s hand tighten slightly. He said, “General, I also think my character has been a little too intense lately. I plan to restrain myself a little and comprehend the flexibility and gentleness of water. I might not necessarily offend a lot of people.”

When he said that, even he was slightly unconvinced. Even if he spent another century comprehending, he still would have stepped forward during the banquet today. No matter how far his cultivation of the Spirit Turtle Transformation progressed, it was unable to change his character completely.
