The Legend of the Great Saint: Start from the Sign-in at Mount Tai

Chapter 482 The Immortal Qing Shi

Ling'er has an oval face, long black hair, and bright, lively eyes. Although she is dressed as a maid, her natural beauty cannot be hidden.

Not only has Qing Shi had many admirers, but there are also many people who have fallen in love with Ling'er.

Among them were many outstanding individuals who embarked on this ancient path of trials.

If there were a more striking contrast...

Let's say that then.

In every aspect, Ling'er is by no means inferior to the saintesses of some of the great religions of Beidou.

If she were in the Big Dipper, she would definitely be a saint-level figure in some ancient and desolate sect.

Ling'er has followed Qing Shi for many years. Although in public she is just Qing Shi's maid, Qing Shi and Ling'er are like sisters.

If Qing Shi gets married and has a Daoist partner in the future, Ling'er will most likely still be a maidservant.

Many years have passed, and Ling'er has recently become a saint, but few people know about this.

Now, when Ling'er heard Qing Shi say that she intended to return to the Second City to find Ba Xian.

Ling'er immediately became just like the character in the original story.

I thought her young lady wanted to get a share of the Source of Dao for herself.

However, they are currently suffering from the lack of a Divine Light Platform, making it impossible for them to legally and compliantly return to the Second City.

For this reason, Ling'er even gave Qing Shi some advice.

They suggested they simply conceal their identities and secretly smuggle themselves back to the Second City to seize the Source of Dao.

Honestly, throughout history, there have been countless people who have done this kind of thing.

I won't say anything more.

In the original story, didn't Di Tian send someone to follow Liu Ye and secretly cross back to the Second City to try and seize the Source of Dao?

And someone of Qing Shi's status, needless to say, certainly has such channels now.

Along this road, there are many sycophants who would do anything for the fairy, and even help her sneak back to the second city.

What Ling'er didn't expect was...

Although Qing Shi did indeed want to obtain the Source of Dao from Lu Zhou.

But she did not intend to keep the Source of the Dao for her own use.

Instead, as mentioned in the original work, she planned to give the Source of the Dao to Di Tian.

As for the reason, it's still the same reason.

Qing Shi thought this era was too terrifying, with all sorts of geniuses and prodigies emerging one after another. Even someone as outstanding as Di Tian had encountered many formidable enemies.

No one knows what other terrifying monsters might suddenly emerge after this.

Qing Shi has now formed an alliance with Di Tian, ​​agreeing to help each other, fight together on the ancient road, and deal with those great enemies who may threaten their ascension to the pinnacle.

She believed that given Di Tian's current strength, it was necessary to provide him with further assistance to make him even stronger.

The emergence of this source of truth is an excellent choice.

Di Tian had already obtained a portion of the Source of the Dao.

Qing Shi believes that if Di Tian could obtain an even more complete source of the Dao, and if he could merge the two sources of the Dao into one, he might be able to evolve some amazing immortal treasure.

Hearing her say that, Xiao Ling'er was clearly very indignant.

She had always believed that her young lady had sacrificed too much in this alliance.

They believe that what Qing Shi has given has far outweighed what she has gained.

Ling'er never actually complained to her mistress.

Over the years, it's not just some bystanders who have secretly mocked Di Tian as a gigolo who likes to hook up with rich women.

Even she had long thought that Di Tian was a gigolo.

Ling'er didn't say anything because of some concerns and because she was sticking to her duty as a maid.

At this moment, when she saw that her young mistress was actually planning to seize the divine object of the Dao Source and use it to support that pretty boy Di Tian, ​​Ling'er was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

She muttered to herself, cursing Di Tian to the bone in her heart.

But she was actually trying to persuade Qing Shi, hoping that Qing Shi would change her mind and that even if she really had the chance to get the Source of Dao from Ba Xian, she should keep it for herself.

But Qing Shi seemed very firm in her decision.

She believes that most of the demons who are now famous throughout the ancient road have already acquired their own forces to help them fight the great battle on the imperial road.

Like the character in the original story, she believed that since she didn't have a strong backing, the only way to reach the pinnacle in the future was to form an alliance with a powerful figure and receive their support.

Qing Shi believed that her talent for cultivation was extraordinary and no less than that of others. Otherwise, she would not have become the number one among the trial participants of the same batch as her. Even Di Tian was not as good as her back then.

Besides her natural talent for cultivation, Qing Shi was also very satisfied with her luck in terms of opportunities.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to possess several volumes of Taiyin scriptures, as well as some Daoist scriptures and other divine techniques.

With these insights, after studying other competitors, she concluded that her biggest weakness in reaching the pinnacle was the lack of a powerful background that she, as a rogue cultivator, had always lacked.

Building power and winning over strong individuals is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

She doesn't have that much time and energy to do these things.

She believes that choosing a good person to ally with now is the right choice for her.

In this way, her shortcomings in this area can be compensated to some extent.

The person she chose was Di Tian.

Little did she know that the emperor always walked alone; only the weak traveled in groups.

If her idea of ​​forming alliances to fight for the imperial path remains unchanged, then her future achievements will probably be just like those in the original story.

I got up very early, but in the end I didn't even make it to the late market.

What a waste of her talent for cultivation and all the opportunities she had gained over the years.

The maid Ling'er was somewhat aware of these thoughts of hers.

Ling'er sighed inwardly, knowing that her attempt to persuade him had failed once again.

But today, she really couldn't hold back anymore.

Ling'er paused for a moment, and finally spoke to her mistress, asking the question that she had wanted to ask all these years, but had kept to herself.

"Miss, may I ask you a question?"

Qing Shi looked at Ling'er, her eyes flashing, and then smiled.

"You silly girl, just ask whatever you want to know. I'll definitely answer anything I can and won't hide anything from you!"

Hearing Qing Shi say this, Ling'er took a deep breath and immediately asked.

"Miss, do you like the young master of God?"

"Ok?"

Qing Shi did not answer Ling'er's question immediately, but asked Ling'er in return with some surprise.

"Ling'er, why would you think that?"

Ling'er shook her head.

"It's nothing, I just feel that you're being a little too nice to Young Master Di Tian, ​​Miss."

"Even some outsiders can see now that ever since you and Young Master Di Tian met in the First City, you have really helped Young Master Di Tian a lot over the years."

At this point, Ling'er was like a flood that had been released from its dam. She had been holding back for many years, and today a hole suddenly appeared, so of course it was like a torrent of water flowing out.

Now that the conversation has started...

So she simply stopped caring about Ling'er.

Whatever!
'This maid is going all out today; I have to get this off my chest.'

She clenched her little fist and continued speaking to her young mistress, Qing Shi.

"Since even outsiders can see that you, Miss, have helped Young Master Di Tian a great deal since you allied with him, then it goes without saying that it's me!"

"Miss, are you aware that there are quite a few people secretly talking about you and Young Master Di Tian?"

"They say that Young Master Di Tian is your kept man."

This is definitely not something Ling'er is making up.

In the original novel, when they were in the second city of the ancient road, Yu Xian, who had a close relationship with the depths of the ancient road, used the term "pretty boy" to describe Di Tian in front of Ye Fan.

Qing Shi was taken aback.

She had never heard of this before.

Unbeknownst to many, someone was secretly using the rather insulting term "pretty boy" to describe Di Tian.

After a moment of surprise, Qing Shi, who had always been very conscious of her image, ethereal and otherworldly, and holy as a fairy, and was revered as a banished fairy by the great talents of the ancient road, couldn't help but break down for the first time.

Her already prominent and full breasts heaved even more violently with anger.

She was so angry that she could no longer maintain her fairy-like demeanor.

She wanted to unleash a torrent of curses and spew out all her filth.

Cursing those bastards, blind and audacious, for daring to spread rumors that she, a dignified fairy, is keeping a gigolo.
Who does this person think she is?
Is she a harlot despised by everyone?
This is absolutely the greatest insult of her life.

Qing Shi became angrier and angrier. Her face turned black with anger, her body trembled, and she almost couldn't catch her breath and nearly collapsed.

Fortunately, Xiao Ling'er knew her young lady very well.

Knowing her mistress as she did, she knew that when her mistress found out about this, she would most likely be furious like this.

This is also the main reason why she kept this matter to herself and dared not mention it to Qing Shi.

Ling'er quickly helped Qing Shi up, gently stroking Qing Shi's back as if to help her catch her breath.

At the same time, she also offered some advice.

"Miss, please calm down. Don't let the nonsense of some petty people upset you and make you sick. This could very well be a psychological tactic by them."

"It's all to sow discord between you and Young Master Di Tian. They might even be trying to see if they can disrupt your Dao heart through this method." Ling'er's words of comfort were clearly very effective.

Since Qing Shi is revered as a banished fairy, it shows that her mental cultivation is quite good.

Initially, she acted this way simply because she was suddenly exposed to this matter that involved her, which caused her to become somewhat vulnerable.

Give her some time to adjust, and she quickly suppressed her anger and calmed down.

Even so, this anger still lingered in Qing Shi's heart.

Looking back on her journey, she has never been so slandered or insulted.

She, who has always been pure and immaculate, as holy as a fairy, absolutely cannot allow anyone to spread rumors and insult her behind her back.

"who is it?"

"Who is spreading rumors and insulting me behind my back?"

Her eyes sharpened, filled with murderous intent, and she turned to ask Ling'er.

She's going to find all those guys.

But Ling'er shook her head with a wry smile.

"This is too much!"

"Not just too many, but some of them are also quite extraordinary!"

"These rumors have been circulating for many years!"

"Those people just didn't say it in front of us, the people directly involved!"

"Miss, you shouldn't take this too seriously. A person who isn't envied is mediocre; a person who isn't slandered is perfect."

Only Ling'er dared to speak so frankly to Qing Shi, telling her not to take this matter too seriously.

Her words, "A person who is not envied is mediocre, and a person who is not slandered is perfect," truly resonated with Qing Shi.

Qing Shi took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.

Then she asked another question.

"Di Tian should know about this too, right?"

Ling'er thought for a moment before speaking.

"I don't know, but I imagine he probably already knew about it!"

Ling'er's answer was exactly what Qing Shi was thinking.

Even she knows about this now, so she doesn't believe that Di Tian wouldn't know about it.

Since Di Tian knew about this matter but never mentioned it to her, and not only that, she hadn't seen Di Tian show any reaction to it over the years.
Thinking of this, Qing Shi's bulging chest heaved violently with anger once again.

For the first time, she began to have opinions about Di Tian.

I have a serious problem with Di Tian's character!

Qing Shi began to seriously reflect on whether it was right or wrong for her to ally with Di Tian.
She values ​​a person's character highly.

This is considered the most basic requirement and bottom line for finding allies or interacting with others.

If your friends or allies are not of good character.

Who knows, one day in the future, these so-called friends or allies might betray you and stab you in the back because of some interests or other reasons.

At this moment, Qing Shi also realized what was happening.

Now I understand why Ling'er mustered up the courage to ask me if I liked God.

As the saying goes, the beholder is clear.

Ling'er clearly felt that Di Tian was somewhat unreliable, yet she saw that she had always kept the alliance and would always try to share any good things with Di Tian, ​​thus helping him too much.

In addition, there were some rumors circulating outside, saying that she had something going on with Di Tian.

This made Ling'er somewhat uncertain whether she had truly fallen in love with Di Tian.

Thinking this, Qing Shi rubbed her forehead, feeling a bit of a headache.

She looked at Ling'er speechlessly.

"While I think Di Tian is outstanding, I only consider him a decent ally!"

"The future holds the promise of helping me reach the pinnacle."

"I have no romantic feelings for him!"

"It didn't exist before today, and it certainly won't exist after today!"

Qing Shi thought for a moment. Ling'er was her confidante and the person she trusted most. She had always been with her through thick and thin, going through all kinds of battles together. Although she was nominally her mistress and servant, she was in fact her sister.

She then continued speaking to Ling'er.

"From now on, if there's anything about me, whether it's rumors or anything else, don't hesitate to tell me immediately."

"What you just said made me suddenly realize that Di Tian is probably a bit unreliable as well."

"It seems I need to re-evaluate the alliance with Di Tian!"

Ling'er had no objection to this. She had always felt that Di Tian was somewhat unreliable, but she kept it to herself.

She nodded to Qing Shi, indicating that she understood.

Then, Ling'er brought the topic back to the beginning.

That is, regarding the source of the Tao.

She asked Qing Shi.

"Miss, should we still sneak back to the Second City and try to get the Source of Dao from that Tyrant Immortal?"

Ling'er was certain that she didn't need to try to dissuade her mistress again; even if she had managed to obtain the Source of the Dao, she would no longer consider giving it to Di Tian.

Qing Shi had already made a decision about whether or not to smuggle herself back to the Second City.

That means I absolutely have to go back.

But at this moment, her purpose for returning had undergone a complete transformation.

Previously, Qing Shi had planned to secretly sneak back to find the powerful immortal Lu Zhou and see if she could exchange the Source of Dao from him for something she could afford.

Then she would give it to Di Tian so that Di Tian would have the opportunity to become stronger and enhance the strength and foundation of their alliance.

But now?

She still planned to go to Lu Zhou to see if she could exchange for the Source of Dao, but she decided to keep it for herself.

Besides this, Qing Shi has developed some opinions about Di Tian, ​​feeling that Di Tian, ​​as an ally, is somewhat unreliable.

She also wanted to take this opportunity to get to know Ba Xian up close and see what kind of person Lu Zhou was.

If Lu Zhou is a good person who suits her taste, and in other aspects he is as rumored to be outstanding, no less than Di Tian, ​​or even herself.

Qing Shi believes that Ba Xian might also be a very good candidate for an alliance.

There was a rumor about a powerful immortal that greatly tempted Qing Shi.

That is, the Overlord Immortal is not recognized by the Source of the Dao, and the Source of the Dao says that the Overlord Immortal cannot attain the Dao and become an Emperor.

Outsiders might only see the joke about the Overlord Immortal from this, and secretly rejoice that they will have one less major enemy on the road to becoming an emperor.

But Qing Shi saw the value of the Overlord Immortal in this.

Based on what Ba Xian has shown so far, isn't he the perfect ally and the perfect candidate for protector?

If we form an alliance with Di Tian, ​​and one day they truly join forces to suppress and defeat all our great enemies, then we can achieve our goal.

and then?
Unless Qing Shi marries Di Tian, ​​becomes Di Tian's Daoist partner, and becomes his wife.

Otherwise, the day they join forces to wipe out all their enemies will also be the day their alliance collapses.

She and Di Tian will go from being allies to being enemies, fighting for the only chance in this era to become emperors.

However, if one forms an alliance with the Overlord Immortal, then this issue need not be considered.

Since the Overlord Immortal defies the Dao and goes against Heaven and Earth, the Source of the Dao has determined that he is destined not to attain the Dao and become an Emperor.

What else is there to say?

When the time comes, the Overlord Immortal will probably fully support his ally in attaining the Dao and becoming an Emperor, in exchange for the ally after becoming an Emperor who will protect everything he cares about in the future.

As Qing Shi thought about it, she felt more and more that Ba Xian might be the best candidate for an alliance.

After a short while, she shook her head slightly and stopped thinking about it.

Right now, it's all just her one-sided consideration.

There are still far too many variables involved.

She pondered to herself.

'Putting everything else aside, what is the true character of the Overlord Immortal? Does he meet my requirements for an ally? That remains to be seen!'

'But whether the Overlord Immortal is willing to form an alliance with me? That's still a question!'

Even if the alliance is successfully formed, what other variables might arise in the future? That remains unknown.

We can only take it one step at a time!

"Let's sneak back to the Second City first, and talk to Ba Xian before we decide what to do next!"

Qing Shi is also a person of action.

With that thought in mind, she took Ling'er and quietly left the secret place where she was recuperating, preparing to sneak back to the Second City.

That is, the moment she made the decision.

Qing Shi was unaware that her so-called ally, Di Tian, ​​just as mentioned in the original story, had secretly sent people back to the Second City without informing her at all, intending to obtain the Source of Dao at any cost.

The Heavenly Emperor would never allow anyone else to obtain the Source of the Dao.

It is enough that he alone obtained the Source of the Dao in this lifetime, especially since it is a more complete Source of the Dao.

At the same time, what Qing Shi could think of, Di Tian also thought of.

Di Tian was also looking forward to seeing what would happen if the two sources of Dao were successfully merged.
