Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 701-Chapter 833)

“Hmm? What’s the matter?” Li Qingshan looked back and smiled at her.

“In the dream, did you want to kiss me?” Xiao An’s clear eyes stared straight at him as if she could see the depths of his mind.

“It’s not like I haven’t kissed you before?” Li Qingshan’s heart skipped a beat as he said in an unconcerned manner.

“Not the face, the lips!” Xiao An was extremely accustomed to reading his face, where even the most subtle expressions could not escape her eyes. In order to place emphasis, she even went out of her way to point at her lips.

“Don’t talk nonsense. How could I?” Li Qingshan stared at her with eyes as wide as an ox’s.

“Your face is turning red,” said Xiao An. She added inside, And it’s very red!

“It’s from the light,” Li Qingshan refuted.

“But the side without light is red too.”

“Alright, it’s pointless to talk about this. We need to hurry back!” Li Qingshan accelerated off. He had always been renowned for his valour and vigour, but right now, his figure seemed a little sorry. Xiao An’s chime-like giggles rang out from behind.

Returning to Savage mountain, the first thing that Li Qingshan did was take out the Myriad Poison Ancestor’s soul nascence. He planned to create a third heavenly tribulation servant for himself.





Chapter 824: Myriad Poison Submits | Legend of the Great Sage




Savage Mountain, the Eight Point hall.

Xiao An stood outside the hall quietly, both guaranteeing she could not disturb Li Qingshan, yet able to help out at any time.

In the simple and primitive hall, Li Qingshan widened his scarlet eyes and stared at the Myriad Poison Ancestor’s soul nascence. He radiated with malice, giving off a bearing like he could subdue all. His eyes became as red as blood, producing two streaks of strange light.

The slumbering soul nascence suddenly began to move, its face warping in pain and refusal. Although its willpower and consciousness had been suppressed by Shen Mengdie, sending it into an eternal dream, it still resisted instinctively, proudly refusing to submit.

Li Qingshan became more and more solemn. He raised his thick eyebrows and let out deep growls that echoed through the hall. The figure of the tiger demon seemed to appear behind him, baring its fangs viciously.

Xiao An was slightly worried. Soul nascences were different from souls. They possessed most of a great cultivator’s power, and the Myriad Poison Ancestor’s cultivation was higher than Li Qingshan’s. Although he had the Clam King of Mirage Sea’s assistance, this was still very dangerous. Converting him into a haunt definitely would not be that easy.

However, a high risk also meant a high reward. Once he succeeded, the entire Myriad Poison cult would be his. That was a blessed land even better than Savage mountain, and there would be a set of protective formations as well, which were of immeasurable value.

The resources of the Myriad Poison cult would form a great chunk too. It was impossible for the Myriad Poison Ancestor to take all the resources around with him at all times, or the Myriad Poison cult would not be able to operate once he entered secluded cultivation. There must have been a treasury in the cult. There would be large swathes of medicinal gardens as well. Who knew how many precious spiritual herbs were planted inside.

As long as he obtained the Myriad Poison Ancestor’s loyalty, then he would be able to devour everything a large sect had built up through several thousand years of operation. Apart from these additional benefits, the Myriad Poison Ancestor himself was most important.

A great cultivator could increase their strength drastically, allowing them to carry out their plan in the south even more smoothly. When it mattered, Li Qingshan could even order the Myriad Poison Ancestor to blow himself up. By then, even the Fire Devouring King would probably face death. Moreover, great cultivators were normally skilled at refining medicine and forging artifacts. The Myriad Poison Ancestor even knew how to refine poison and gu on top of that.

These various benefits combined made Li Qingshan choose the gamble.

The tiger growls filled the valley. The ten hall masters had already been recalled back to the mountain, all listening along carefully and guessing what he was trying to do.

……

Sure enough, the Myriad Poison Ancestor is difficult to deal with. Such an intense struggle might very well make him wake up. It’ll be troublesome by then.

Li Qingshan frowned. He was in his own territory and could probably prevent the Myriad Poison Ancestor from infiltrating his sea of consciousness again with his various preparations, but once the Myriad Poison Ancestor blew up his soul nascence, probably even Li Qingshan would end up heavily injured. It was even possible for Savage mountain to be destroyed, greatly damaging his foundation in the south.

But there was no way back now. He did all that he could, and the strange light infiltrated the Myriad Poison Ancestor’s soul nascence with great difficulty.

Time passed by slowly, and the soul nascence struggled more and more violently. Right when he was about to succeed, the soul nascence suddenly opened its eyes and stared at Li Qingshan in utter resentment.

Their eyes met!

Li Qingshan thought, Oh no. The thing he had been worrying about the most had still ended up happening.

The soul nascence’s eyes suddenly became hazy.

Subservience to the Tiger was primarily about the pair of tiger eyes. A slumbering opponent could put up less resistance, but they could not stare into his eyes either. The critical situation had instead pushed the power of the innate ability to the limit.

The surroundings twisted and changed, going from a pitch-black cave to a deep and serene forest. The air was filled with miasma, where the scenery just slightly further away was all blurred.

“Why have I fallen down the trees? No, I need to hurry back. It’s too dangerous here.”

A young shaman said in alarm. His face was painted with colours, but he vaguely resembled the Myriad Poison Ancestor in his youth.

When he tried finding a tree to climb up, gusts of wind began blowing through the trees.

“How can there be wind here?” The young man gazed in the direction where the wind came from.

The thick miasma that never dispersed suddenly surged and thinned, like subjects welcoming the arrival of their lord. Two specks of scarlet light shone dimly among the miasma.

Roar! The vicious howl of a tiger shook the entire forest. The wind became even fiercer, blowing away all the miasma and revealing a vicious tiger. Its fur was scarlet like fire, shining with a glossy sheen within the darkness. It was layered with black stripes, which also formed a “王” character on its forehead.

The vicious tiger saw the young man and strolled over to him leisurely. The young man wanted to run, but his body crumpled from fear. The tiger pounced gently and pressed him down under its front claw, lowering its head and meeting his eyes.

Foul air filled his face. The young man looked back in fright. The scarlet eyes were forever engraved in his soul.

……

Li Qingshan suddenly jerked awake. He checked his hands, but they had not become tiger claws. What was that about? Was that another dream?

He dreamt that he became a tiger, wandering through the jungle of the Mist province before hunting prey.

Hmm?

Li Qingshan discovered that the Myriad Poison Ancestor’s soul nascence had already been dyed by the strange light. He stared straight at Li Qingshan, but there was no longer any resentment or hatred. There was only subservience from the bottom of his heart.

Was I in the Myriad Poison Ancestor’s dream earlier? Looks like it was a terrifying nightmare. He was alarmed by me, waking up from his dream, only to be pulled back into a dream through the influence of the tiger demon’s ability, while my consciousness was pulled into his sea of consciousness…
