At the end of the sea and sky, a smear of white appeared in the east. The sun was about to rise, but the mist became thicker. The lofty Heavenly Tome Tower was vaguely visible in the surging mist, as if it was about to collapse. Spirit Sovereign Guihai remained silent inside.
"The Heavenly Tome of All!?"
All the true disciples had heard of this legend before.
Generally speaking, the Heavenly Tome of All was just the collective name for all the heavenly tomes. All the heavenly tomes added together would form the Heavenly Tome of All. However, it was said that the Heavenly Tome of All existed in the Heavenly Tome of All. All the heavenly tomes originated from this Heavenly Tome of All. It was truly all-encompassing, containing all the cultivation methods and paths of cultivation in the world.
"That's just a legend!" Dai Mengfan scolded. "You're not Shen Yushu. Who are you exactly?!"
The more she listened, the more she felt that something was amiss. Shen Yushu was a mere formal disciple, and he only practised the Heavenly Tome of Nature. How could he have seventeen heavenly tomes? Even if it was a true disciple, apart from the Eldest Senior Brother, it was unlikely that he would have so many Heavenly Tomes.
However, it was impossible for Spirit Sovereign Guihai to speak carelessly. For some reason, anxiety and panic surged through his heart. A terrifying thought was on the verge of forming.
"Legend?" Li Qingshan shook his head. If he had not practised the "Spirit Turtle Transformation", he would not have been able to confirm the existence of the Heavenly Tome of All either. However, after achieving the "Spirit Turtle Transformation", he was a hundred percent certain that the seventeen heavenly tomes in his possession came from the same source.
Actually, he did not need other cultivation methods too much with the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine. The reason why he had to obtain the Heavenly Tome of All was not for himself, but for the lives of the Demon domain.
As everyone knew, cultivation methods had a great influence on a person's mind. The cultivation methods popular in the Demon domain were all cruel and evil. Even if regular people practised them, they would become filled with malice and evil. In the past Demon domain, only by practising cultivation methods like that could it be easier for them to gain the favor of the demonic heavens.
But now, Li Qingshan had broken through the barrier between the Pure Land of Bliss and the Demon domain, returning them to the Qilin Paradise. As a result, demonfolk could not be reborn as demonfolk. This was freeing demonfolk from their "innate" state of oblivion, but it was impossible for them to go back to being "acquired".
Even if Li Qingshan had already become a god, it was impossible for him to deduce the infinite cultivation methods derived from the 3,000 Great Daos. This required too much time, and what he lacked the most right now was time. The enemy would not give him too much time.
Therefore, he had to obtain the Ten Thousand Phenomenon Heavenly Tome at all costs!
Many years ago, what he cared about were elixirs and medicines, but now, what he cared about was food and vegetables. The value of things always changed according to the situation. At this time, perhaps even the gods of the Nine Heavens did not realize the special value of the "Divine Tome of All", which was why he had the opportunity to attack the Myriad Phenomenon Sect.
"Hmph, the Ten Thousand Elephant Formation has been activated. No matter who you are, don't even think of leaving this place alive today!" Dai Mengfan was infuriated by his disrespectful attitude. She immediately put on the imposing manner of the Eldest Senior Sister, but it seemed like she was hiding something.
Li Qingshan suddenly turned to look at Dai Mengfan. "Junior Martial Sister Dai, do you really not recognize me?"
This was the side profile of an ordinary man. It was so ordinary that there was nothing special about it.
After his physical body was destroyed by Li Qingshan, Shen Yushu had been using the Myriad Phenomenon Sect's Spirit Beast Garden, which was specially reared as a "flying insect." It was usually in the form of an insect, but after being stimulated by spells, it could quickly grow into a human form. Its bones and blood vessels were no different from a mortal's, except that it naturally did not have a soul. It was specially made for people to possess it, and its body and appearance had no special characteristics.
But that playful expression, that familiar smile … Dai Mengfan's pupils constricted. She took a big step back and said in horror, "You are Li …"
"Shh!" Li Qingshan placed his index finger on his lips, and Dai Mengfan's words came to an abrupt halt.
He was still waiting for Spirit Venerable Gui Hai's decision. Spirit Venerable Gui Hai clearly did not want to start a war with him, so there was still the possibility of negotiation. If the matter blew up, they could only fight.
Dai Mengfan looked at Li Qingshan with wide eyes as if someone was choking her neck. Her hair all stood on end. Her towering chest rose and fell rapidly as she gasped for breath like a startled herbivore. She did not have any of the dignity of a Eldest Senior Sister.
Yes, of course she knew that Spirit Venerable Gui Hai was in Myriad Phenomenon City. Even if Li Qingshan's main body came here, he would not be able to do much. But these rational judgments were completely useless at this moment. Only the most primitive animal instincts were left — taking deep breaths to ensure that the body moved vigorously, contracting pupils to focus, tensing up the body in preparation to react, and then escape. The further the better!
She had never forgotten the dignity of a tiger.
The other direct disciples also reacted. They either cast spells, gripped their weapons tightly, or activated their cultivation techniques. In an instant, they all assumed a defensive stance. Although they did not lose their composure like Dai Mengfan, even Leng Yuan, who had the deepest and coldest temperament, felt a trace of fear in his heart.
Clang! The sound of swords being unsheathed could be heard.
Seeing that the direct disciples were facing a formidable enemy, the chamber disciples at the back did not know what was happening and simply raised the weapons in their hands.
In an instant, spirit lights shone in the square and the atmosphere was tense. Countless auras rose, stirring up a thick fog that surged like waves and scattered on Li Qingshan's body.
However, Li Qingshan was unmoved and said with a smile, "Junior Sister Dai, I heard that you're a new official and the one you burned was me."
"I … I'm only following orders. Spirit Venerable Gui Hai announced that you've fallen to the demonic path, so he asked me to be the Eldest Senior Sister. I initially rejected it …"
Dai Mengfan's eyes flickered and she almost did not dare to look straight at Li Qingshan. Like a child who had made a huge mistake, she mumbled and explained, causing the other direct disciples to look down on her. They did not expect her to be so timid.
At this moment, the direct disciples had already calmed down, especially Leng Yuan. As he circulated his cultivation technique, his mind was as cold as ice, completely dispelling that trace of fear. He rationally determined that Li Qingshan was only an avatar here.
Although Li Qingshan's main body had already undergone six Heavenly Tribulations, the cultivation of his avatar was at least one realm lower, which was the same as them. If it was a one-on-one fight, no one had the confidence to win, but this situation was nothing to be afraid of.
Leng Yuan said proudly, "Li Qingshan, humans and demons cannot coexist. Since you've fallen to the demonic path, you're no longer the Eldest Senior Brother of the Myriad Phenomenon Sect, but our enemy!"
The smile on Li Qingshan's face faded and he said calmly and seriously, "Yes, you're also my enemy. Tong Dagong's blood will not be spilled in vain."
Dai Mengfan looked at Leng Yuan in shock as if she was looking at an ignorant child provoking a ferocious beast. She could not understand why he still wanted to provoke Li Qingshan. Was he really not afraid of death? Feeling the contempt of the other true disciples for her, she could not help but roar in her heart, "Can't you feel it? You'll really die! "
In the Myriad Phenomenon Sect, apart from Le Tian, she was the true disciple who was the best at divination.
In her opinion, the air was not filled with thick white mist, but pitch-black death aura, making it hard for her to breathe.
Back when she faced Demon God Suanni's avatar outside Black Cloud City, she did not feel so terrified. It was as if Li Qingshan could crush them all to dust with a flick of his finger.
She did not believe in so-called rational judgment. She only believed in her intuition, which she had cultivated for many years. If Spirit Sage Guihai was not present, she would have already begged for mercy from Li Qingshan, or immediately escaped, as far as she could.
"No, I shouldn't have come at all! Spirit Sage Guihai summoned us not to let us watch a show, but to send us to our deaths as pawns! "
At this moment, Dai Mengfan suddenly realized that other than Li Liehuo, who was in seclusion, and Wan Jianfeng, who was confronting Ruan Yaozhu outside the Hundred Herb Garden, Le Tian was the only true disciple who had not been summoned.
"That cunning bastard!"
