Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
On this 2000-year-old stele, an image of the Four Sacred Beasts was carved.
The Four Sacred Beasts were the Black Tortoise, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, and Azure Dragon.
Li Qingshan sensed that this was a very powerful technique. So he wanted to try and learn it. Hence, he sat before the stele and observed it attentively, immersing himself in his comprehension.
As time passed, Li Qingshan was completely immersed in his comprehension. He looked at the lines of the Four Sacred Beasts and the aura they emitted. His spiritual consciousness was drawn in. He did not mind at all.
He had unlimited spiritual consciousness since he had maxed level comprehension. Therefore, he was not bothered when his spiritual consciousness was being drained by the stele.
If this were any other person, when their spiritual consciousness was sucked dry, they would immediately become confused and be like a walking zombie.
However, for Li Qingshan, there was no such concern. He stared at the Four Sacred Beasts, mesmerized by them.
[Roar]
After an unknown amount of time, the roar of a ferocious beast sounded next to Li Qingshan.
He peered intently. It was a gigantic Black Tortoise, standing in a lake in the northwest. It stood up on all fours, and its body was the size of a massive mountain range.
Li Qingshan realized that he had already entered the illusion created by the stele of the Four Sacred Beasts.
He saw the Azure Dragon in the east, circling in the sky. The azure aura around it was turbulent and endless.
He saw the Vermillion Bird in the south. Phoenix flames danced around its entire body, and its sharp cry filled the heavens and the earth.
He saw the White Tiger in the west. It had a razor-sharp golden Yang aura that shot out from its fur. It appeared majestic and ferocious.
The Four Sacred Beasts represented Wood, Water, Fire, and Metal, respectively.
They were situated in the four cardinal directions as they glared at Li Qingshan, standing in the center.
They wanted to consume his spiritual consciousness, reducing him to an empty shell.
In an instant, all Four Sacred Beasts pounced toward him, frenziedly clawing
and biting at his spiritual consciousness.
He allowed them to consume his spiritual consciousness. With his maxed level comprehension, he was not afraid at all.
Instead, he used this opportunity to get a good read on the beasts slowly.
Just like that, the Four Sacred Beasts consumed Li Qingshan's spiritual consciousness as he tried to comprehend their techniques.
In the end, the Four Sacred Beasts ate their fill and looked at him. There was a look of fear in their eyes. This person was like a bottomless abyss, and his spiritual consciousness seemed limitless. Yet, they could not completely consume it. Li Qingshan was calm and collected as he looked at them in the illusion. Finally, he smiled and said, "Have all of you had your fill?"Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
The Four Sacred Beasts looked at each other.
"If all of you have had your fill, you can leave this place with me. Heaven's Will of the Four Signs!" yelled Li Qingshan. He waved both his hands. Then, a massive suction force dragged the Four Sacred Beasts before him and into his spiritual consciousness.
[Kacha]
The illusion disintegrated on its own.
Li Qingshan opened his eyes and let out a long sigh in the outside world. Then, a sentence appeared before his eyes.
[You have cleaned the stele attentively and activated your maxed level comprehension skill. You have now comprehended the Heaven's Will of the Four Signs.]
By allowing the Four Sacred Beasts to absorb his maxed level comprehension, he managed to comprehend them.
When he checked the time of day, it was the morning of another day.
Li Qingshan stretched as he got up. Then, as he shook off the dust on him, he exclaimed in surprise, "How many days have passed since I started comprehending this time?"
He turned around and headed back to the bamboo hut, leaving no traces in the snow. He traversed ten li in the blink of an eye.
When he came to the bamboo hut, Li Qingshan saw that the little fox was clawing at his door. She was clearly famished.
When he approached her, the little fox immediately backed away, staring at him with a look of hatred.
This time, she did not immediately run away. Instead, she used her claws to write a few characters on the ground.
[Where did you run off to? I am starving.]
Li Qingshan smiled and squatted down. He picked up a dried branch and mimicked the little fox by writing a sentence on the ground.

[I was cultivating. How many days have passed since I left?]
The little fox was fuming as she looked at Li Qingshan. If it weren't for the fact that she could not find food, she would not be speaking to him.
She had no choice. Aside from the two of them, there were no other sentient life forms on Repentance Cliff.
There were fish in the lake, but the little fox was a newborn and had no cultivation. She also did not know how to swim, so she could not catch any fish. [Three days have passed. I am famished.]
The little fox wrote on the ground indignantly. Li Qingshan smiled apologetically and said gently, "Sorry."
At the same time, he wrote this on the ground.
This was due to his lack of foresight. He initially thought it would be like the last time, and he would comprehend the technique in half a day.
Who could have known that he would have comprehended for three days? It had been a relatively long time. The little fox was a newborn, so it was normal for her to be angry about not having any food. However, this also allowed Li Qingshan to witness the little fox's cute side.
She hated humans. However, it seemed like deep down in her heart, she knew that he would not harm her.
Faced with starvation, she disregarded her hatred for humans and came knocking on his door.
Now, she was even willing to communicate with him.
Even though she was grumbling, Li Qingshan was pleased.
The little fox was stunned when she saw that he not only said sorry to her earnestly, but he had also written his apology in words.
The way this human behaved made her feel at ease.
Initially, the little fox wanted to run away after she complained more about Li Qingshan. However, she felt terrible for leaving now that he had apologized to her twice.
This man had been feeding her for days without asking for anything in return. Now, she was mad at him because he was late once as he was held up by other matters. From the looks of it, she was the one being unreasonable here.
Even though she disliked humans, the little fox was a reasonable creature. She was shy now that Li Qingshan had apologized to her twice.
Seeing that the little fox was in a dilemma, Li Qingshan smiled gently and wrote a sentence on the ground.
Just a heads up: is the only place to read the complete version of this book for free. Don't miss out on the next chapter-visit us now and continue your journey! [Wait here for a moment. I will prepare something delicious for you.]
The little fox's stomach grumbled when she saw the word delicious. As she stared at his leaving silhouette, she had an urge to leave because she didn't want to have any connection with humans. However, she was ravenous. Salh the DøvilFire.Det website on Gøøgle to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.
She changed her mind. She was not leaving.
She thought, "I'll wait for him just this once. I will keep a distance from him immediately after I have eaten my fill."
Then, she stayed put at the place where Li Qingshan left the message. She looked at his beautiful handwriting and compared it with her chicken scratch writing. Her face reddened due to embarrassment. Her language skills were part of the inheritance from her mother. As she grew, she would awaken more of this inheritance.
Li Qingshan decisively went to the lake to catch some fish. He built a fire and took out some table salt. He then began to grill the fish in front of the little fox.
The little fox watched as he grilled fish. She blinked her pure, cute eyes. She was afraid of the sparks, just like how she hated humans.
However, today, she did not escape or hide. This was her first time being so close to Li Qingshan.
Could it be because he had apologized twice?
Even the little fox did not know.
Li Qingshan's fish grilling technique was subpar. However, the little fox had not eaten for three days.
This was also her first time eating fish.
Hence, she gobbled the food down with gusto.
She had a few fish all to herself. The little fox even dirtied her white fur in the process.
She later noticed this and slowed her eating.
Li Qingshan looked at the little fellow with a gentle gaze. Then, he suddenly thought of something. He took up the branch and wrote on the ground, "Let me teach you how to cultivate!" The little fox suddenly stopped eating her fish. She looked up and stared at him. She had no hate or disgust in her eyes, only disbelief.
Did he want to teach her how to cultivate?
