Legend of the Great Saint Chapter 1425 - Provocation

Chapter 1425 - Provocation

Coldness filled the place, leaving the ice rigid.
Rāhu Xiaoming stood with his eyes firmly shut, like he was asleep.
Li Qingshan approached the ice. As soon as the tips of his fingers came into contact with the surface, a chilling coldness filled his Yin Soul, making him pull his hand back in a hurry. He communicated, “Xiaoming! Xiaoming!”
However, even soul sense could not penetrate this sturdy prison of ice. If he destroyed it by force, he would definitely alarm Ao Xuan.
With a thought, he took two steps back and stared straight at Rāhu Xiaoming in the ice. He brought his index and middle fingers together on his right hand and pressed them against his forehead before swiping downwards. A demonic thought shot out from his forehead, through the ice and into Rāhu Xiaoming’s forehead.
At that moment, the surrounding scenery twisted and changed, receding rapidly. A blood-red land unfurled as galaxies stretched through the sky.
Li Qingshan beamed inside, I’m in!
This was the most basic technique from the Secret Scroll of Inner Demons. Normally, it was not particularly useful. Controlling inner demons was about being unpredictable and catching the enemy off-guard. Posing around in front of the enemy was simply foolish, but it was extraordinarily effective at a time like this.
“This should be Xiaoming’s sea of consciousness, but where is he?”
Li Qingshan cupped his hands around his mouth and yelled out, “Xiaoming!”
His voice echoed through the vast land. As soon as he called out, a familiar voice rang out from behind him, “Turn around!”
Li Qingshan turned around. A boy stood on top of a huge boulder with a slingshot drawn, pointing it at him.
When he turned around, a pellet whistled past his face. Li Qingshan was unfazed. He asked, “Why have you turned small again?”
“You idiot, this is my sea of consciousness. How did you get in here?”
If it were not for the fact that Rāhu Xiaoming possessed great confidence in his mental disposition, he basically would have suspected he had developed demonic thoughts because he was in dire straits.
Yeah, that was basically the case anyway.
Li Qingshan raised his eyebrows. “I’ve come so far to save you, and you call me an idiot as soon as you see me. That’s not really nice, is it?”
“What a joke. You want to save me?” Rāhu Xiaoming said proudly.
The corner of Li Qingshan’s lips twitched. In consideration of the fact that he covered Xiao An’s escape, he put up with it this time. “Alright then, I’ve come because I need your help. You happy now?”
Rāhu Xiaoming nodded in satisfaction and lowered his slingshot. He sat down. “That’s more like it. Tell me, what do you need my help with?”
Li Qingshan said seriously, “Great god Xiaoming, please help me butcher Ao Xuan.”
“About that… I can’t help you.” Rāhu Xiaoming dug at his ear.
Li Qingshan shook his head. “Hah, then stop boasting. Just stay put here for now!”
“When the time comes, I will lend you a hand.”
Rāhu Xiaoming clenched his fist. That damned dragon thought he could seal him here, but he did not understand the true powers of the Rāhu clan. Even in outer space, he could gather energy. Even if it was much slower, he would constantly grow stronger as long as he was still alive.
“What time are you referring to?”
“When you have the power to attack the dwelling!” Rāhu Xiaoming said sternly.
According to his estimates, he had to undergo the fifth heavenly tribulation at the very least, and only then did they have a chance if they worked together from inside and out.
Li Qingshan smiled. “Then it’s time already!”
“What!?” Rāhu Xiaoming was surprised. “Don’t act carelessly.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve already obtained the formation disc of this dwelling…”
In the deep abyss, Ao Xuan opened both eyes. Suddenly, he began to move, making his way through a pitch-black tunnel and arriving before the room in the blink of an eye.
With a boom, the stone door opened up, and a huge dragon head poked in with shining eyes.
Rāhu Xiaoming was still sealed in ice. The dim, spacious room was completely silent. Li Qingshan’s figure had already vanished.

Two beams of golden light shot from Ao Xuan’s eyes. He scanned the surroundings, but he did not find anything. He muttered to himself, “Was it just a false impression?”
Earlier, he had clearly sensed someone had intruded upon this place, but he did not find it particularly likely now that he thought about it. Passing through the nine layers of the Xuanming formation and the frozen earth while evading his six senses was basically impossible. Not a single direct disciple of the Myriad sect could accomplish that, and it was even less likely for it to be anyone else. This was the territory of the Myriad sect after all.
He laughed at how paranoid he had become recently, turning around and returning to the abyss.
As someone who spent most of his time sleeping in the Xuanming dwelling, he still did not know that the Myriad sect had gained a new heavenly tome, and the first person to practise this heavenly tome had even obtained the formation disc to the Xuanming dwelling, becoming its legal owner.
Within the ice, Rāhu Xiaoming’s lips curled slightly. Specks of power gathered towards him from the depths of space.
Ao Xuan returned to the abyss. Right when he was about to catch a nap, a voice as sharp as a sword pierced the place, “Ao Xuan, get your ass out here!”
A kunpeng circled through the sky. With a flap, great winds whistled. Huge waves rose up into the air, slamming against the frozen earth and shattering it instantly, turning into a sky full of ice fragments.
Ao Xuan flew into a rage. With the furious waves, he rose into the air, glaring at the kunpeng. “It’s you! I don’t come for you, and you come to me instead to die!”
Gu Yanying called out, “Hand him over, and I’ll spare your life. Otherwise, I’ll never spare you!”
Ao Xuan laughed in response. “I’d like to see how you spare my life!” His eyes suddenly lit up with two beams of golden light, rising up into the air.
Gu Yanying dodged in a hurry. In the blink of an eye, Ao Xuan had already charged over.
This time, Ao Xuan was not so swift anymore. He even seemed a little slow, such that it was possible to make out the flow of each scale. Unfortunately, she was limited by her abilities. Her speed could not keep up with her eyes.
As a result, she took to the skies without any hesitation, flying away.
Ao Xuan settled down, but he also became suspicious. She’s only just undergone the fourth heavenly tribulation, so why does she have the courage to visit here in such a bold manner? That successor of white bone is nowhere to be seen either. Don’t tell me this is some kind of scheme?
Even if those that had undergone the fifth heavenly tribulation were not skilled in divination, they were still sensitive to the plans of intangible fate, let alone a divine creature, a dragon, like him. As a result, he pursued her for a few hundred kilometres before turning back. He planned on giving this matter some further thought before deciding to do anything.
However, right when he returned to his dwelling, Gu Yanying rushed over again, raising a ruckus behind him. “What a four-legged snake! You’ve been frightened into hiding in your dwelling again, haven’t you? But that’s nothing surprising. My race has always preyed on dragons. It is a perfect example of the fact that everything has a natural enemy. I’d be surprised if you weren’t afraid of me!”
Li Qingshan and Xiao An hid in the distance, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
“Yeah, yeah, not bad. She has a bit of my skill. Of course, nowhere close though.”
Gu Yanying felt elated inside. It really was fantastic to be a kunpeng. Ao Xuan’s cultivation was well beyond hers, yet she could still provoke him with ease. It was no wonder that Li Qingshan loved doing such things.
“Sigh, if you’re afraid, then release him. You better not wait until I skin you alive…”
“I’ll be tearing you to pieces today!”
Veins bulged on Ao Xuan’s forehead. He no longer cared about whether this was some scheme or plan, turning into a streak of black and shooting off into the air. He moved even faster than the kunpeng.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them vanished into the horizon.
“Good opportunity!”
Li Qingshan turned into a streak of five-coloured light and dove into the ocean, rapidly approaching the Xuanming dwelling. He found the vulnerable opening of the Xuanming formation with ease and passed through all nine layers of the formation without any need to cover his tracks anymore. He arrived at the foot of the mountain and found the natural fracture.
The fracture was narrow, but he was not just a Yin Demon this time either. Clenching the Swelling Earth of the Nine Heavens firmly, he unleashed the abilities of the ox demon and punched out.
With a rumble, the mountain shook, and the fracture opened up slowly like a door. He entered it with a flash.
