61: Chapter 60: The Way of the War Demon, Luotian Sacred Land Bows Down 61 -60: The Way of the War Demon, Luotian Sacred Land Bows Down Ye Xuan subdued Li Kuangtu and brought him to the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple to serve as a guardian. “When will you pass on to me the true way of the War Demon?” Li Kuangtu looked at Ye Xuan and asked somewhat coldly. Ye Xuan didn’t look at Li Kuangtu but instead stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sculpture of Lie Tian Great Emperor, and said slowly, “Kneel before the sculpture of Lie Tian Great Emperor, perform three prostrations and nine kowtows every day, and after forty-nine days, you will comprehend it on your own.” Li Kuangtu’s brows slightly raised, “You’d better not be playing tricks on me, or even if you’ve planted a Dao Seal in my Sea of Consciousness, I will fight with my life, slaughtering as I go.” “Surely, you wouldn’t want to see the Emperor Immortal Sect run with rivers of blood, either.” Li Kuangtu looked at Ye Xuan, his tone carrying a hint of threat. Ye Xuan shifted his gaze to Li Kuangtu and said indifferently, “You possess a pure Demon Heart, but it’s not enough. You need to unleash the power of the Demon Heart, not let it control you. Indulging its desires will only strengthen the Demon Heart and less and less, you become yourself.” Li Kuangtu tilted his head and said raspingly, “Don’t talk in riddles. I don’t understand.” “While guarding the Ancestor Temple, you are not allowed to cultivate. Perform the three prostrations and nine kowtows, and then meditate in peace. After forty-nine days, once you’ve understood the way of the War Demon, you may begin to cultivate,” Ye Xuan said before turning away and leaving. “Isn’t there anything else?” Li Kuangtu couldn’t help but ask, watching Ye Xuan’s retreating figure. Ye Xuan paused in his steps, asking in return, “What else do you expect?” Li Kuangtu’s brow furrowed as he raspingly said, “Perhaps, to have me kill someone for you or something.” Ye Xuan walked out of the Ancestor Temple, stopping at its doorway.

Without turning back, he said, “Before you master the true way of the War Demon, you are worthless in my eyes.” Inside the Ancestor Temple, Li Kuangtu’s heart shook as he squinted watching Ye Xuan disappear from his sight. A trace of killing intent rose in his heart. Before being suppressed, he was the true number one expert of the Emperor Immortal Sect! In the entire Emperor Immortal Sect, only the three ancient ancestors were stronger than him. Yet in the mouth of this minor Divine Gate Realm youngster, he was deemed worthless?! How could Li Kuangtu not be enraged in his heart. But Li Kuangtu was also very clear that this Ye Xuan was no ordinary person but a very, very terrifying being. “To what extent must one’s Soul Power reach to forcibly plant a Dao Seal in my Sea of Consciousness…” Li Kuangtu was extremely puzzled. Moments later, Li Kuangtu withdrew his thoughts. Having been suppressed for over a thousand years, his nature remained violent, but upon leaving the Earth Dungeon, he had killed more than two hundred people who were also suppressed there, gaining some release. Together with the Dao Seal planted by Ye Xuan, his mentality had become much steadier. Li Kuangtu raised his head to look at the sculpture of Lie Tian Great Emperor, his mind a little absent. He too had once been full of fervor, wishing to seek revenge against the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect and to restore the glory of the Emperor Immortal Sect. However, as he cultivated the way of the War Demon, his behavior became more uncontrollable, rampantly slaughtering his sect members, ultimately getting suppressed by the ancient ancestors. Now looking at the sculpture of Lie Tian Great Emperor once more, he felt very complex emotions. “Let’s trust this Ye Xuan for once,” Li Kuangtu murmured softly. He could see that this kid Ye Xuan clearly also wanted the Emperor Immortal Sect to rise again, which aligned with his own desires. After calming himself, Li Kuangtu assumed a solemn expression and began to follow Ye Xuan’s instructions to perform the three prostrations and nine kowtows. After performing the ritual, Li Kuangtu didn’t notice anything different. But when he looked up, his gaze was drawn to the character ‘Night’ formed by smoke and fire above the Divine Altar. “When did this appear? Why haven’t I seen it before?” Li Kuangtu was puzzled. Not dwelling on it much, after completing the prostrations, he began to sit in meditation, not practicing any cultivation. Because he had chosen to trust Ye Xuan. Meanwhile, Ye Xuan, having left the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple, was surrounded by Qiu Wenhan and others. “Ye Xuan, is that guy really willing to guard the Ancestor Temple?” Qiu Wenhan followed beside Ye Xuan, voicing his concern. Jiang Jing and others also showed looks of concern. Ye Xuan nodded slightly and said, “Don’t worry, he’ll do as told. However, during these fort-nine days, the sect’s disciples should refrain from visiting the Ancestor Temple to pay homage.” “Alright!” Qiu Wenhan clenched his teeth and agreed. If Ye Xuan could truly normalize that monster, it would be great news for the Emperor Immortal Sect. Qiu Wenhan was well aware that Li Kuangtu was truly very powerful. “Have someone deliver more Spirit Stones to the Divine Gate platform. I’ll be cultivating there in the coming days,” Ye Xuan instructed. “Don’t pay too much attention to the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple. What you need to do is prepare for the arrival of the Spirit Stone Mine and Medicine Field from the Luotian Sacred Land.” “Fine,” Jiang Jing and the others, although still somewhat uneasy, chose to trust Ye Xuan. “Take care of yourself,” Zhou Youwei said softly. “Got it,” Ye Xuan grinned. After that, Ye Xuan went to Divine Gate alone. After Ye Xuan’s departure, everyone was somewhat worried: “I wonder if we can really make that Li Kuangtu restrain his demonic nature.” “Regardless, if Ye Xuan succeeds, it will be a great joy for our Sect,” Qiu Wenhan pondered aloud. “First, issue an order that no disciples from Nine Peaks are to approach the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple,” Jiang Jing nodded in agreement. …… Two days later. The Second Elder of Luotian Sacred Land came visiting again. This time, the attitude of Luotian Sacred Land’s Second Elder had improved significantly. Upon arriving at Emperor Great Hall, he inquired: “I wonder if Young Friend Ye Xuan is here?” The people inside Emperor Great Hall looked at each other, then said, “He has matters to attend to today and will not make an appearance. May I ask what you need him for?” The Second Elder of Luotian Sacred Land shook his head: “It’s nothing, just conveying greetings from the Saint Master to him.” As soon as these words came out, everyone present was somewhat dumbfounded. Conveying greetings from Luotian Sacred Land’s Saint Master to Ye Xuan?! Are you sure there’s no mistake?! Ye Xuan had slapped Zhao Zichuan’s son, Zhao Yulong, to death and captured his wife, subjecting her to extreme punishment. And Zhao Zichuan is sending greetings to Ye Xuan? Is that sarcasm? Questions like these rose in the minds of Jiang Jing and others. Seeing the expressions of Jiang Jing and the others, the Second Elder, with a kind smile, said, “Our Saint Master said, ‘When will the cycle of vengeance end?’ From today onwards, there will be no further conflicts between Luotian Sacred Land and Emperor Immortal Sect.” “Elder Jiang, here are the deeds to fifteen Spirit Stone Mines and seven Medicine Fields for you to review,” he said. As he spoke, the Second Elder took out a stack of deeds and handed them to Jiang Jing. Jiang Jing looked a bit bemused, and after a moment, she accepted the deeds. She did not look at them right away, but instead gazed at the Second Elder with a strange expression, “Did Saint Master Zhao really say that?” The Second Elder nodded solemnly: “Of course, the Saint Master said that henceforth he will absolutely not bear a grudge against Emperor Immortal Sect, and hopes your Sect can also put aside any prejudice.” Jiang Jing looked toward Qiu Wenhan and Wu Jingshan. Qiu Wenhan and Wu Jingshan exchanged glances, also noticing the doubt in each other’s eyes. They could not understand the implications of these words. Is there a hidden meaning? “You need not doubt, what I have said represents the intent of Luotian Sacred Land!” said the Second Elder, seeing their skeptical looks, speaking earnestly. “As a sign of goodwill, when the Southern Ghost Tomb opens in half a year, Luotian Sacred Land will secure an entry spot for Emperor Immortal Sect.” “What?!” At the Second Elder’s words, everyone in the hall was shocked. “The Emperor Immortal Sect can go when the Southern Ghost Tomb opens?” “Of course!” the Second Elder affirmed with a nod. Jiang Jing and the others immediately smiled with joy. The Southern Ghost Tomb was a well-known great Secret Realm in the East Desolate Southern Domain, containing many opportunities. It opened once every three years, and each time it opened, it would cause a stir in the Southern Domain’s Cultivation World. In the past, Emperor Immortal Sect had not been qualified to participate in the opening of the Southern Ghost Tomb, as their strength was not recognized by other Sects and powers. Now, out of the blue, the Second Elder of Luotian Sacred Land made such an offer, how could they not be excited? “May I know what conditions Luotian Sacred Land has?” Jiang Jing took a deep breath to calm herself down, then asked the Second Elder. The Second Elder smiled and waved his hand: “The Saint Master said to consider this as a gift out of respect for Young Friend Ye Xuan. I would trouble Elder Jiang to convey the Saint Master’s message to Young Friend Ye Xuan.” Jiang Jing was once again astonished; what exactly had her son-in-law done to make Luotian Sacred Land’s Saint Master Zhao Zichuan so amenable? Qiu Wenhan and Wu Jingshan looked at each other, their respect for Ye Xuan growing even more.
