Martial Cultivator-Novel

Yun Jianyue smiled and replied, "Actually, deep down, you probably understand whether it's nonsense or not. I won't say much more."

Zhu Xia ignored him and just turned away, saying softly to herself, "Let's go to the Scripture Library."

Yun Jianyue nodded and led Zhu Xia towards the Scripture Library. He had actually read that suprscripture of Daoism before, but everyone's comprehension was different. He only grasped a bit of it and did not understand its true meaning, so it did not benefit his cultivation much. However, he did not dare to speculate about Zhu Xia's comprehension.

Soon, they arrived at the front of the Scripture Library. Yun Jianyue pointed to the topmost level of the very tall Scripture Library and smiled, "The suprscripture of Daoism is right there. However, there are also sinteresting scriptures inside the Scripture Library that you can read. If you're not in a hurry, you can take your tclimbing the floors. I'll have food sent in there every day. How does that sound?"

Zhu Xia complained, "Why? Do you want to lockup in there?"

Yun Jianyue shook his head and said, "That's not the case at all. It's just a piece of advice between friends. While the temple has gathered sunique daoist techniques belonging exclusively to us, there are still many other techniques inside that you won't find elsewhere."

Zhu Xia nodded. "Aren't you worried that I'll remember everything and take these things back to Myriad Heaven Palace after memorizing them?"

Yun Jianyue smiled at Zhu Xia without saying a word. ‎‎‏‎‏‎‏‎​‏​‏‎‏‏

Since Infatuation Daoist Temple dared to do this, they naturally did not mind. In fact, as the leader of the Great Peace Dao lineage, the Infatuation Daoist Temple had always been generous. Although Myriad Heaven Palace was the leading rival sect, the Infatuation Daoist Temple understood that both belonged to Daoism. In the final standpoint, they were on the sside. If Myriad Heaven Palace were to bectoo weak, it might even lead to the daoists of Infatuation Daoist Temple developing too much contempt for other daoist sects, which would not be a good thing in the long run.

The daoists of Infatuation Daoist Temple would only feel a sense of urgency and remain diligent in their cultivation if the Myriad Heaven Palace was powerful, thus maintaining their strength.

Was life not all about competition?

Zhu Xia rubbed her little face and did not say anything. She just walked toward the Scripture Library.

Yun Jianyue watched her enter the Scripture Library before turning to check on his flower garden. He had noticed a few buds starting to form recently, and they should be blooming now. However, his senior sister had gone down the mountain too early. Otherwise, she would have been able to see them.

Yun Jianyue felt a bit dejected. If his senior sister was not around when the flowers bloomed, what was the point whether they bloomed or not?

Despite this, Yun Jianyue still headed towards the garden. After a few steps, he unexpectedly saw the Temple Master standing at the temple gate, looking down the mountain path with a grave expression.

At the stime, several powerful auras emerged from the back mountain, indicating that a few elders who had been in seclusion for years were now exiting seclusion?

Yun Jianyue was astonished and hurried to the side of the Temple Master, asking, "Temple Master, has something happened?"

The Temple Master, who rarely showed such a grave expression, glanced at Yun Jianyue with a hint of helplessness and said, "A formidable one has arrived."

Yun Jianyue was startled. "Is it the Sect Master of the Sword Sect... No, wait..."

Although the Sect Master of the Sword Sect was recognized as the most formidable sword immortal in terms of killing power, it should not have caused the Temple Master, who had also reached the Great Liberation Realm, to be so cautious, right? Moreover, the presence of so many powerful auras from the back mountain suggested that even if it were the Sword Sect's Sect Master, the Infatuation Daoist Temple would not treat the situation with such gravity.

The Temple Master said calmly, "That fellow cfrom the north. Who knows what he wants? You should go back into the temple to avoid any trouble."

Hearing this, Yun Jianyue already understood who it was. His eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

The Demon Emperor had cfrom the demon territory to Great Liang?!

The Temple Master remained silent, stepping out of the temple and slowly walking down the mountain path. But with each step, the aura around the Temple Master grew stronger.

The Demon Emperor had csouth without a sound and ended up at the Infatuation Daoist Temple. The Temple Master did not know the Demon Emperor's intentions, but if it cto a fight, then he could only fight.

At the foot of the Infatuation Daoist Temple's mountain, the Demon Emperor, accompanied by the demon princess Autumn, began climbing the steps. After taking only a few steps, the Demon Emperor chuckled and remarked, "These daoists lack courage. We haven't even done anything, yet they're already so nervous."

Autumn smiled and responded, "Who in this world can rival Royal Father's might?"

The Demon Emperor shook his head calmly, "The human race is full of hidden talents. There are powerhouses everywhere. Even that human monarch they normally disregard fought Us to a draw."

Upon mentioning this, Autumn voiced the question that had been on her mind, "Royal Father, do you truly not have the power to kill him?"

The Demon Emperor merely smiled without answering.

Seeing her father’s back, Autumn fell silent and stopped asking.

After a few more steps, the Demon Emperor suddenly laughed, "You wait here for Us. This fight might not even happen. If you find it boring, feel free to leave. You can return to the demon territory whenever you wish."

Autumn stopped and remained silent, simply watching as the Demon Emperor slowly continued his way into the mountain.

Among humans, although the Great Liang Emperor was nominally the common ruler of all under heaven, all cultivators know that the one who held the greatest authority in this world was not the Great Liang Emperor, but the Temple Master of Infatuation Daoist Temple. He was the number one figure in Daoism and the most influential person in the foreign lands. Though he was not necessarily invincible, his status surpassed that of the Sword Sect Master and the old monk of Deercry Monastery.

Now, the Demon Emperor had csouth to meet this Temple Master. Only he could make the Demon Emperor travel thousands of miles to this place.

No one truly knew how powerful the Temple Master of Infatuation Daoist Temple was. He rarely showed his strength and appeared approachable in everyday life. However, if a fight were to break out today, not many would believe that he could triumph over the Demon Emperor.

The two met midway, one descending the mountain and the other ascending.

They stood a few yards apart, exchanging a glance without much else happening, like two strangers meeting for the first time.

The Temple Master smiled and asked, "Why has Your Majesty csouth?"

The Demon Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, looking at this very handsTemple Master, and replied calmly, "You are indeed very good-looking."

The Temple Master's good looks was well known. It was said that the previous Temple Master took him as a disciple partly because of his looks.

In this world, it seemed that those who were better-looking could not defeat him, and those who could beat him... well, there were very few who could defeat him, and they were definitely not as good-looking as him.

The Temple Master responded indifferently, "It's just a sack of skin. If Your Majesty finds it displeasing later, please remember not to hit my face."

The Demon Emperor chuckled, seeming very interested in the Temple Master before him.

"We have cfrom thousands of miles away. Aren't you planning to invite Us into your temple for a look? Is this how you humans treat guests?"

The Demon Emperor glanced up at the temple on the mountain. It was not as grand as he had anticipated. Rather, it seemed quite ordinary, which struck him as quite peculiar.

The Temple Master shook his head, "Since Your Majesty is a demon, how could you enter our temple?"

The Demon Emperor did not argue with him, he just asked, "What if We insist on going in?"

The Temple Master let out a sigh, "Then I'd have to try to stop Your Majesty. But letbe clear, it won't just betaking action."

The Demon Emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "So shameless?"

"Your Majesty's power is beyond extraordinary. This penniless daoist might not be able to stop you alone. This is out of respect for Your Majesty."

The Temple Master replied earnestly.

The Demon Emperor shook his head, "You are much more shameless than that Great Liang Emperor."

The Temple Master smiled without saying a word.

The Demon Emperor was not in a hurry to speak either, he just watched the Temple Master quietly.

The Temple Master's expression gradually grew serious, and the smile on his face slowly faded.

The Demon Emperor laughed, "Your temple alone can't stop Us. Is that sword user coming? Or perhaps that old monk?"

The Temple Master said bluntly, "If there's really a chance, it seems that I really want to make Your Majesty stay here."

"Won't be easy."

The Demon Emperor looked up at the mountain, seemingly very interested in the temple and curious about what scenery was inside.

The Temple Master discerned the Demon Emperor's thoughts and shook his head, saying, "If Your Majesty truly wants to take a look, why not visit the Divine Capital instead? It's the mightiest city in the world; a thousand times more splendid than this penniless daoist's rundown temple."

The Demon Emperor did not speak, taking a step forward while the Temple Master stood as if facing a formidable foe.

The Demon Emperor continued to ascend the mountain slowly.

The Temple Master's robes fluttered without wind at this moment, making a rustling sound.

With a solemn expression, the Temple Master stood on the spot. Between the two, a strong wind arose, causing countless leaves in the mountains to flutter down but not touch the ground. Instead, they hovered in the air as if frozen.

The Demon Emperor halted, looking up at the Temple Master.

The Temple Master said with vicissitudes of emotion, "Your Majesty has truly advanced extremely far."

"But however far Your Majesty has walked, you can forget about entering the temple."

The Temple Master took a deep breath, and the leaves around them began to tremble slightly, coming back to life.

The Demon Emperor did not speak, merely observing the Temple Master.

With a bitter smile, the Temple Master said, "Does Your Majesty truly want the demon realm's dynasty to change?"

"With just the likes of you daoists, do you have the capability?"

Though the Demon Emperor stopped moving forward, the leaves between them once again becstill.

Between stillness and movement lay the confrontation of the two peerless powerhouses of the current era.

The Temple Master sighed, "Your Majesty is too confident, but excessive confidence is arrogance. This penniless daoist truly doesn't wish to risk my life against Your Majesty."

The Demon Emperor shook his head, "You really aren't like him."

The Temple Master remained silent.

He just tried hard to make the leaves tremble again.

This time, the Demon Emperor seemed a bit impatient. With a wave of his sleeve, all the leaves in front of them turned to dust, dissipating between heaven and earth.

The Temple Master stepped back half a step, then sighed deeply, "Since Your Majesty is here to wait for someone, why bother with this?"

The Demon Emperor said nothing, just turned to look towards the foot of the mountain.

He did not care in the slightest about leaving his back to this daoist.

A tall man was currently coming up the mountain path. After catching sight of the demon princess on one side, this man continued his climb and did not stop.

Autumn cast a complicated gaze at the back of the tall man and did not say anything.

She just saw the shadow of her Royal Father on him.

Both possessed the demeanor befitting those who stood at the highest level.

……

……

The Temple Master on the mountain path remained silent, looking at the towering man climbing up the mountain. He muttered to himself, "What a strange thing. Why would both Your Majesties want to cand see this rundown temple?"
