Legend of the Great Sage

Chapter 1400: Daemon



Chapter 1400: Daemon

The sound of the horse hooves pulled closer, kicking up dust. A group of whistling horse bandits surrounded them, ogling at them in amazement.

Gu Yanying smiled brightly at them and immediately left a few horse bandits in a daze, falling from their horses. They cursed furiously and madly. She maintained her smile and asked Xiao An softly, “Have you changed your mind?”

At this moment, a bare-chested young man covered in tattoos rode over. He loomed over them from his horse and said, “Ladies, where are you headed? Need me to take you there?”

Xiao An pursed her lips and said to Gu Yanying, “I think what you said is reasonable, but the kunpeng is far too eye-catching, so why don’t we strike a compromise instead?”

Gu Yanying smiled in thought. “Strike a compromise?”

“We’ll get there by walking.”

A horse bandit drew his curved blade and roared, “Oi, lassies, our boss is talking to you!”

Gu Yanying rolled her eyes. “You mean getting there by eating!”

“It’s basically the same.”

Xiao An smiled, and the leader of the horse bandits immediately became stunned. The noisy bandits all fell silent, staring at her in a daze. Only the sound of the rustling wind remained. They felt like even dying was worth it as long as they could earn a smile from her.

Gu Yanying acted like she was discontent. “Oi, isn’t this a little far too exaggerated? I can’t accept this.”

Xiao An swept out with her finger, and the Samādhi Flames of White Bone surged out silently, turning the scarlet-yellow desert pale-white. The horse bandits and the horses were all set alight, merging with the pale-white flames. Their saddles and clothes became littered across the ground. Only the leader of the horse bandits remained, who paled in fright. “D- daemon!”

He urged the fine steed behind him desperately, but the horse seemed to be stunned. It did not even budge.

Xiao An pointed out, and all of the Samādhi Flames of White Bone gathered on him, stripping away his flesh and only leaving behind his white bones. Flames lit up in his eye sockets and sharp claws, teeth, and horns grew out on him. He turned into a Skeleton Demon.

When she underwent the tribulation, all of her white bone artifacts had been severely damaged while contending against the armament of tribulation lightning. In particular, not a single Skull Prayer Bead remained now, so her battle prowess was severely affected.

But that was fine too. It was perfect because she could directly refine higher quality Skeleton Demons.

Opening her right hand and clutching it firmly, the Skeleton Demons on the back of the horse suddenly shrank, turning into the size of a fist. It shot off across the desert, serving as a scout.

She gently caressed the stunned horse, reconstructing its flesh and blood. Two dim wisps of flames burned in the depths of its eyes as it knelt down in a docile manner.

By now, Gu Yanying had already destroyed all the evidence. She used the hot winds of hell to pulverise all of the horse bandits’ belongings, which scattered in the wind.

“Very good. We can cultivate on the horse. It will be fine as long as it’s not too rocky.”

A while later, the two of them rode the horse together as it galloped through the endless desert. The hooves kicked up dust as it ran along without any sense of exhaustion, yet it was extremely steady at the same time, setting off for the Myriad sect over a hundred thousand kilometres away.

In the Hundred Herbs dwelling, Ruan Yaozhu was distracted. The nine-coloured deer said, “Go if you want to go!”

With her thoughts guessed, Ruan Yaozhu blushed slightly. “Where am I going?”

“I pity that Li Qingshan. He has no friends, all on his own in the world. He doesn’t even have someone watching over him when he undergoes the heavenly tribulation. If he fails the tribulation, he’ll definitely die to the lightning!” She repeated it viciously. “Die to the lightning!”

Ruan Yaozhu became tense. “That’s nonsense. With his willpower and cultivation, how can he fail the tribulation…”

As she said that, even she became a little uncertain, as lightning tribulations had always been immeasurable. Sometimes, the tribulation lightning would instead be more intense with higher cultivations. Having someone powerful watch over them could ensure that the cultivator would not be affected by any external elements, and they could also increase the chances of the cultivator’s survival if they failed the tribulation.

“Then let’s go take a look?”

“I’m not going!”

“Why?”

“Can’t get annoyed if I can’t see him!” the nine-coloured deer said with great irritation.

“Alright then. You can watch over the house then.”

Ruan Yaozhu directly projected her Yang Soul. She was surrounded in a verdant glow. Her clothes and jade-green waistband drifted through the air, and her dark hair was held together by an ornament. She was like a fairy.

She left the Hundred Herbs garden in a hurry. Her surroundings were filled by the vast ocean. Where was she supposed to find Li Qingshan?

With a thought, her Yang Soul scattered with green light. Under the glow, all of the plants on the island flourished, producing specks of green light that gathered towards her like fireflies, telling her about everything that happened on the island. As a result, she determined the direction Li Qingshan had left in and flew away as a streak of green light, moving with lightning speed.

In a short while, she heard the soft rumbling of thunder and instead wavered a little. He doesn’t need me to watch over him. It might be a little inappropriate that I’ve just rushed over here without any warning. I might even distract him.

We are Hosted Nov3l, find us on g00gle.

She also felt slightly embarrassed as if she was a little overly concerned about him. It came out of her good intentions, but it would be bad if anyone ended up misunderstanding them, even if there was no one else around here.

Why don’t I head over there secretly and watch over him like that? If he succeeds, then I’ll secretly leave as well. Wouldn’t that be for the best?

As a result, she made up her mind, and her figure immediately faded away, hiding into the surroundings. Her aura had completely blended with nature as well, leaving no trace behind. Those who practised the Heavenly Tome of Nature were extremely skilled at hiding themselves, and she was a Yang Soul right now, so even other Yang Soul cultivators would struggle to notice her. It did not even affect her movements. She only flew at a lower altitude, and she approached the place where the tribulation was happening very quickly.

Hmm? Why is the fourth heavenly tribulation so intense?

The sight before her left her extremely surprised. The ocean surged violently with waves. This region of the sea was not particularly deep, but it was completely upheaved. The violent lightning rained down wave after wave from the tribulation clouds above her head, completely surpassing what she imagined the fourth heavenly tribulation would be like.

When she got even closer, she became even more shocked, as she could clearly see the figure of a sword flying around in the tribulation clouds.

“Is that… an armament of tribulation lightning!? How can there be armaments of tribulation lightning in the fourth heavenly tribulation?” Ruan Yaozhu said in surprise.

Even when she faced the fifth heavenly tribulation, an armament of tribulation lightning had not appeared. Their first senior sister had faced a hammer condensed from tribulation lightning, almost left half-dead by a strike of it, but this was only the fourth heavenly tribulation!

If the fourth heavenly tribulation that regular people faced was just a routine test, then the fourth heavenly tribulation before her eyes right now was basically like the wrath of the heavens, attempting to eradicate his very existence. The fourth heavenly tribulation she had faced back then was basically meek in comparison, like the heavens had been going easy on her. This was another great advantage that came with practising the Heavenly Tome of Nature. It was relatively easier when it came to the tribulations.

He’ll be fine, right?

She could not help but become worried or even slightly afraid. She accelerated and quickly approached the centre of the tribulation clouds. When she made her way over a great wave, she suddenly widened her eyes.

Boom!

The lightning illuminated the sky and sea, shining on a figure that stood as tall as a mountain. It roared away furiously, contending against the heavens.

Is that.. some kind of technique?

She felt slightly uneasy, so she got a little closer. She continued until she could not get any closer, as it would draw the heavenly lightning to her. She was already so close that she needed to look up to see the imposing figure, leaving her in disbelief. However, everything before her eyes told her a simple truth.

Qingshan, so you’re actually… a daemon!
