Legend of the Great Saint

Chapter 1341 - Immortal Ascendance Tablet

Chapter 1341 - Immortal Ascendance Tablet


“Where did you…” The bandit leader suddenly felt his chest ache.


“My king!” A bandit pointed at his chest in horror. He lowered his head, only to see a splotch of blood. His vision darkened as he collapsed on the spot.


A dark cloud shrouded the sun. The forest abruptly darkened.


Several miserable cries rang out before everything rapidly fell silent again, with a few murmurs mixed in. “Sigh, by virtue, by virtue.”


But in the world, it was always easier to subdue wild beasts that win over the hearts of people.


A tiger’s roar echoed through the mountains. A while later, the branches swayed, and a foul air arrived. The tiger he had encountered in the forest earlier bounded over. Gazing at the pair of scarlet eyes in the dark forest, it lay on the ground with its hairs on end, trembling away. Even when it had already developed some intelligence, it struggled to connect him with the human that gave off the strange aura earlier.


“Big kitty, you gave way to me before, so I’ll invite you to a feast! We don’t owe each other anything anymore! Hahaha, in ancient times, the buddha sacrificed his body to feed tigers. Today, there will be Li Qingshan killing bandits to feed a tiger. Isn’t that even better than the buddha?”


Glug, glug. The alcohol poured down his throat, mad like a tiger.


A while later, a handsome, delicate man who resembled a teenager walked out from the forest. The clouds pa.s.sed; the sun shone brightly. He licked away the blood on the corner of his lips and smiled pleasantly.


His belly grumbled a few times. A strange feeling filled his heart. Earlier, he had just been angered. You want to eat my heart with wine? I’ll have a taste of you then!


However, after eating it, the taste was surprisingly nice. Dense spiritual qi filled every inch of his flesh, such that it still throbbed in his mouth. When he bit down, it felt like a bouncy, juicy meatball. Afterwards, he actually could not hold back the urge and polished it off. If it were not for the fact that he still had a human nature in him, he probably would have been done with them before the tiger had even arrived.


Was it because of the spiritual qi? No. When he ate the Heavenly Frost Wolf King in the past, the spiritual qi was even denser, but he did not encounter something like that.


It was hunger! The laws of the Human realm returned this long-lost sensation to him, giving him the instincts of a living creature yet again. And as the paragons of nature, humans were perhaps a delicacy to daemons.


He could not help but laugh. This world that seemed so ordinary actually hid so many wonders!


He opened his hand. A delicate bookmark carved from wood lay in there, exactly the same as the bookmarks he had found in the Dragon’s Pool dwelling. He had found it on the bandit leader.


He lowered his head and sniffed gently. Apart from the bandit leader’s horrid body odour, there was a much heavier smell that possessed a hint of freshness. It definitely was not a smell that came from mortals. He had no idea what the object could do, but it definitely did not belong to the bandits.


He recalled what the bandits had said, A cultivator? Surely not!


He followed the smell and arrived at the bandits’ base. He found a young man that had been beaten black and blue, stripped bare before being tied up like livestock.


“Alright then!”


Li Qingshan exhaled. From the smell of this guy, he really was a Qi Pract.i.tioner and his smell was identical to the one he had found from the wooden bookmark.


Yep, a Qi Pract.i.tioner captured by bandits, and from the look of things, he was about to be eaten with wine.


The young man said in both embarra.s.sment and urgency, “Save me! Save me!” His mouth was filled with the smell of spices.


Li Qingshan took out the wooden bookmark. “Is this yours?”


The young man’s eyes lit up. “It is mine. W- where did you obtain it? Did you kill the bandits?”


“A tiger ate the bandits. I picked it up off the ground.”


The young man eased up, even forgetting about his current predicament. He said with great attachment, “Could you… return it to me?”


Li Qingshan said, “Sure!”


“That’s fantastic! Life truly is filled with lucky escapes. Life is filled with lucky escapes. Can you untie me?”


“But let me ask you first, what’s the purpose of this?” Li Qingshan brought the wooden bookmark up to his face and waved it around.


“T- that’s my family heirloom. It doesn’t really serve any purpose. It’s just a memoir.” The young man’s face changed slightly as his eyes shone with uncertainty.


Li Qingshan began to laugh. In the box of bookmarks he had found, these ones carved from wood were the most plentiful, amounting to several hundred in total. Were they all supposed to be this naked kid’s family heirlooms? Surely Si Long was not his ancestor!


“It’s true! It’s useless even if you take it. You’ve saved my life, so I’ll definitely pay you back in the future. I’m a Qi Pract.i.tioner!”


Li Qingshan asked, “You’re a mighty Qi Pract.i.tioner, so how did a group of bandits capture you?”


In the nine provinces, even the weakest Qi Pract.i.tioner could easily kill hundreds of bandits, while the original World of the Five Continents went even more without saying. Those were called innate masters, and every single one of them was an existence that stood at the apex of the world.


“Sigh, they outnumbered me. In particular, that bandit leader’s bladesmanship is just too good. I know a few techniques, but I’m nowhere near as fast as his blade. However, once I establish a foundation successfully, I won’t be afraid even if there’s a few hundred of them!”


The young man raised his head as hard as he could, wanting to come off as proud, but it only made him seem more miserable.


“Alright. Let me ask you again. What is the purpose of this?”


“Didn’t I tell you already? It’s my family heirloom!”


“There’s nothing wrong with being wary of people, but I’m still your saviour after all. It’s not appropriate to lie to me twice.” Li Qingshan revealed a slight hint of the Sovereign’s Limit Record of World Destruction’s aura.

The young man only felt like he had suddenly become absolutely domineering. He was afraid to make direct eye contact, feeling as if he would be destroyed at any moment. He called out, “Senior! I’ve been blind for failing to recognise your greatness! I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you! This is an Immortal Ascendance tablet!”


“An Immortal Ascendance tablet?” Li Qingshan was taken aback. Looking at the wooden bookmark in his hand, he said, “Just this?”


If that was the case, would he not have ascended as an immortal several hundred times already? And according to the spiritual qi it gave off, the wooden bookmark was the lowest quality.


With a wave of his hand, the ropes disintegrated, and the young man climbed to his feet. He did not even bother to find clothes to cover himself, kneeling down on the ground instead and saying excitedly, “My name is Zhu Yingcai. May I ask what your cultivation is, senior? Have you already condensed a core?”


Li Qingshan said, “Is it you questioning me or me questioning you? How do you ascend as an immortal with this thing?”


The young man said, “You must have come from abroad, senior! Otherwise, how can you not recognise this? This is a Black Wood bookmark that the Myriad sect distributes. The Myriad sect accepts disciples from everywhere once a decade. Anyone who possesses this can partic.i.p.ate in the tests. If they pa.s.s, they can join the immortal sect and perhaps become an immortal, which is why it’s known as an Immortal Ascendance tablet among the common people.”


“The Myriad sect? Yeah, I think I’ve heard of that name before. What are the benefits in joining this Myriad sect?”


Li Qingshan turned his head over. Even if it was only for the sake of self-preservation, he had to learn about the Myriad sect. On top of that, he had a great number of Immortal Ascendance tablets in his possession right now.


Zhu Yingcai said, “There are… boundless benefits!”


Suddenly, Li Qingshan’s belly grumbled. Looking at how white and clean he was, it gave him an appet.i.te for some reason. He licked his lips. At least the bandits were not wrong about something. The hearts of cultivators should have been even more delicious!


“Why don’t you put on your clothes, and we can talk slowly elsewhere? You don’t have to be afraid. Someone like me always wins people over by virtue!”


Zhu Yingcai felt a chill. Looking up, he met the delicate young man’s face whose eyes were filled with harmony and benevolence, which warmed his heart.
