Chapter 1407 - New Ability

Demonic thoughts were the resources for practising the Heavenly Tome of Liberty

Li Qingshan happened to be heavy with demonic thoughts, far more than any regular person. This was originally a major side effect of practising the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine. In the very beginning, he even needed the spirit turtle to constantly suppress it, or he would lose control.

As his cultivation increased and with the formation of the small world, he had not been caring so much about the balance between the demonic and divine. However, the demonic thoughts still remained, and they blazed even more than in the past. Right now, as there were no transformations close to breaking through, he began practising the Heavenly Tome of Liberty first instead.

Even if the Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance was actually s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g him over, he could only continue onwards and throw himself into the belly of the beast fearlessly since he had taken this step.

Sitting with his legs crossed, he peered into his body. Within the chaotic world, the Yin Demon also sat with its legs crossed, a.s.suming the same posture as him, down to the smallest of details. However, its face was unclear, hazy like it was shrouded by a layer of thin mist.

With a thought, killing intent rose up from Li Qingshan.

A great burst of wind blew away the thin mist, revealing a furious expression that was twisted like a tiger’s. Its eyebrows were firmly furrowed, its teeth protruded from its mouth, and it radiated with murderousness, like it was about to swallow someone whole.

With another thought, his mentality became steady and unyielding. The expression of the Yin Demon changed as well, pursing its lips firmly, such that it seemed both unreasonable and stubborn.

Suddenly, he smiled, and the Yin Demon began scratching its face and glancing around, restless and uneasy. It was like a monkey trapped in a cage, wanting to break free and enjoy freedom.

He circulated the Heavenly Tome of Liberty as he allowed the demonic thoughts to rampage through his head. The Yin Demon’s expression changed, sometimes greedy and l.u.s.tful, sometimes bloodthirsty and murderous, together with fear, fury, resentment…

The Yin Demon gradually became more consolidated as it drew power from the chaotic world, wisp by wisp.

Suddenly, as if it had pa.s.sed a certain critical point, the Yin Demon began to swell rapidly. Its figure twisted, growing with ox horns, tiger claws, and ape arms. It was neither human nor daemon, instead resembling the “demonification” of demonfolk more.

Roar! The Yin Demon roared furiously and hysterically at the sky, shaking up the entire chaotic world as if it wanted to overthrow the ruler who watched over from above, Li Qingshan.

Li Qingshan stopped circulating the Heavenly Tome of Liberty in a hurry, but the Yin Demon actually continued to grow uncontrollably, even circulating the Heavenly Tome of Liberty by itself. Even the three demonic transformations showed signs of losing control.

As if he had returned to when he faced the tribulation, his body became numb and stiff. Li Qingshan grinned. I’ve gone too far this time!

Practising the Heavenly Tome of Liberty was very easy to him, but there was a price— it was extremely dangerous. He could suffer from cultivation deviation from the slightest carelessness. There was nothing that cultivators feared more than that. Only he was bold enough to do something like this, but those who played with fire would always end up burnt.

The Spirit Turtle Suppresses the Seas!

The figure of the spirit turtle appeared, s.h.i.+ning with clear light and cras.h.i.+ng down viciously on the Yin Demon.

Boom! Even the Yin Demon was unable to withstand the spirit turtle’s suppression, twisting and changing shape like putty, crushed to a pulp.

Li Qingshan still did not feel safe. He circulated the Phoenix’s Scripture of Nirvāṇa as well. A phoenix’s cry rang through his sea of consciousness. The phoenix flew over, standing on the spirit turtle’s back.

Little fella, you really think I can’t place you under my control?

Just as Li Qingshan felt proud of himself, he discovered the Yin Demon was infecting the spirit turtle sliver by sliver. The clear light gradually faded away.

The chaotic world swelled and shrank, becoming very unstable. Once this power lost control, he would be completely destroyed inside out. Even rebirthing would be impossible.

Err…

If something like inner demons could be dealt with so easily, if cultivation deviation could be suppressed so easily, then they would not be viewed as mortal enemies by all cultivators.

All demonic thoughts originated from his heart. It was not the invasion of foreign enemies, but internal strife in the imperial court. Even the imperial guards were unreliable, even turning against him. Thoughts had never been something that could be contained and suppressed.

Li Qingshan could not help but get serious, but he did not panic at all. What dangerous and urgent situations had he not seen so far? The more dangerous it was, the more motivated he became. Plenty of sparks of inspiration appeared too.

Using force doesn’t seem to work, so let’s try this instead!

Li Qingshan sucked in a deep breath and great winds whistled past the hill, making the golden leaves rustle. His expression became gentle and peaceful. A qilin slowly emerged from the chaos in the chaotic world.

By now, the Yin Demon had already devoured the entire spirit turtle. Even the Spirit Turtle’s Method of Sea Suppression that was best at suppression was useless, yet he chose to use the weakest Qilin’s Conventions of Longevity at a time like this.

He thought, The Qilin’s ability, Cycle of Life and Growth.

There were no startling disturbances. There were no resplendent lights or shocking sounds, only the rustling of wind. A golden leaf drifted down, circling around him before floating off, followed by another leaf.

Ruan Yaozhu was observing him. She became nervous as soon as his presence became disorderly, like he was suffering from cultivation deviation.

“What’s going on? Even during autumn, the golden-leaved bodhi tree rarely sheds leaves!”

There was originally a green expanse beside Li Qingshan, but it rapidly withered away now. In the blink of an eye, the withered yellow colour spread across the entire hill as if autumn had arrived.

Rustle! Countless golden leaves drifted away with the wind, like golden b.u.t.terflies fluttering freely in the sunlight.

The nine-coloured deer called out, “Hey, piece of wood, he’s using some kind of wicked technique to drain the vitality of the plants around him. Stop him!”

The yellow colour had already reached the bottom of the hill, spreading towards the precious spiritual herbs.

However, Ruan Yaozhu did not budge. “Let’s wait and see for now!”

The nine-coloured deer gazed at her in disbelief. Every single flower and blade of gra.s.s in the Hundred Herbs garden was precious to her, not just for the bookmarks and contribution from the Myriad sect, but also because she had poured her heart and soul into them. Even when she offered up spiritual herbs to the Myriad sect, she refused to uproot them unless she had no other choice. How could she just watch a b.a.s.t.a.r.d wantonly destroy everything that was precious to her selfishly?

The withered yellow colour had spread, and the spiritual herbs began to wilt as well. She could no longer wait any longer. “You might not care, but I care!”

“You’re not allowed to go!” Ruan Yaozhu ordered.

“That d.a.m.ned b.a.s.t.a.r.d, just what did he do to you!?”

Ruan Yaozhu said helplessly, “What are you thinking? He might be suffering from cultivation deviation. He’s reached a critical moment, so he’s unable to control this either. I will make him compensate for all the losses.” Meanwhile she wondered whether she should lend him a hand.

The nine-coloured deer paled in fright. “Cultivation deviation!? Move him out of the Hundred Herbs garden quickly!” If he blew up, who knew how many exotic herbs he would destroy.

Ruan Yaozhu shook her head firmly. “He’ll be fine.” He could even make it through a situation as dangerous as before after all.

This was the first time Li Qingshan had used this ability too. Was the first ability of the Qilin Transformation actually a wicked art for devouring life?

No, of course not.

He held a fallen leaf and exhaled gently.

At that moment, the golden-leaved bodhi tree began to sprout. The withered yellow colour was replaced by a fresh green. The plants and trees became even more lush, almost swallowing him whole. The wilting flowers bloomed once more too.
