Found it.
Xiatian finally found the Maoshan's Sutra Library.
While the name sounded more intimidating — the Divine Codex Hall — it was actually the same thing as the Shaolin Temple's Sutra Library. It was a place where books were stored. Xiatian was in no hurry to go inside. He opened the stone door at the side instead.
He took out the tools inside, which were actually brooms and rags.
"The brooms and rags look so clean. It's obvious that those people were just messing around and never really cleaned the place." Xiatian picked up the brooms and rags anyway.
He had to make it look good, so that it would be easier for him to explain himself if someone came in.
He opened the stone door after taking the things.
"It's so big!" Xiatian was stunned as soon as he entered the Divine Codex Hall. The place was at least thousands of square meters, and there were books everywhere. There were books of all kinds, from bamboo to paper.
The place was probably built in some cave, as the walls were all made of stone. Even the bookshelves were made of stone. There were also stone tables and stone stools at the side.
There was a number on each row.
There was also a number on each book to make it easier for people to not mix up the books.
The place was not lit by candles, but by light bulbs. The light bulbs were very bright. The lights were already on before Xiatian came in, which meant that the lights were on 24 hours a day.
Xiatian had long noticed that there was electricity everywhere in the Maoshan Sect. While Xiatian had no idea what the Maoshan Sect used to generate electricity, there was no doubt that there was electricity in the place.
Furthermore, the buildings in the Maoshan Sect could not have been built by common construction workers.
"Where should I start?" Xiatian walked inside bit by bit.
There were books on the Maoshan Technique, Ghost Taming, architecture, mountain structure, and so on. There were many books in every row.
"Holy sh * t, what is the Maoshan Sect for? Why are there so many books on architecture and mountain structure?" Xiatian had no idea how to describe the people of the Maoshan Sect.
However, he soon saw a row of interesting books.
It was the Maoshan Legend.
"Interesting. This is it." Xiatian took the book called the Maoshan Legend off the shelf.
The Maoshan Legend was made of paper, but the paper was rather yellow, which meant that it had been around for quite some time. When Xiatian opened the first page, it said that the book was written by the 37th Great Ancestor of the Maoshan Sect.
"So, it was written by the Great Ancestor of the Maoshan Sect. Xiatian turned to the second page of the book. The Maoshan Sect's origin, which was similar to what Han Zifeng had said.
The Maoshan Legend of the Maoshan Sect was written Xiatian Legend.
Most of the stories were bragging, so Xiatian did not bother reading them. He flipped to the back, where the 30th Great Ancestor of the Maoshan Sect was written.
"The 37th Great Ancestor of the Maoshan Sect was not a member of the Maoshan Sect. Before he turned 18, he had been training in the Witchcraft Sect. He was an orphan at a young age, and it was his master who took him in. His master treated him very well until he almost died at the hands of his master when he turned 18. It was only then that he realized that his master treated him so well, giving him all the cultivation materials he had and feeding him treasures like ginseng and ganoderma every day, all because his master wanted to devour him.
"Raising him into a being capable of devouring treasures was a very evil way of training. When he found out about all that, he ran away from the Witchcraft Sect.
He was ambushed when he was running away from the Witchcraft Sect. All of his skills were taught by his master, and it was almost impossible for him to escape from his master. Furthermore, his master mobilized someone from the Witchcraft Sect just to capture him. His master was already a sectmaster of the Witchcraft Sect at the time.
"He walked around the gates of hell several times, but he gritted his teeth and forcefully escaped from the Witchcraft Sect. After he escaped, one of his arms was chopped off, and one of his legs was broken."
"It was his master from Mao Mountain who saved him. Although his master from Mao Mountain didn't treat him well at all, his master from Mao Mountain never thought of killing him."
"He trained twice a day for revenge, with one session lasting 20 hours and the other lasting four hours."
After 100 years of training, he finally became the Great Ancestor of the Maoshan Sect. Before his master died, he told him that he had to make the Maoshan Sect great again.
He was very grateful to his master.
However, he wanted revenge more than anything else. Unfortunately, his master from the Witchcraft Sect had become the Great Ancestor of the Witchcraft Sect. That meant that he had to go to war with the Witchcraft Sect if he wanted to take revenge.
He went into the Heavenly Lake three times for the sake of that war, retrieving countless treasures from the Heavenly Lake. He even found the method of training for soul hunters.
Another 100 years passed. The Maoshan Sect had been preparing for that war for 100 years.
The war between the Witchcraft Sect and the Maoshan Sect began.
The war lasted for a month. He and his master from the Witchcraft Sect used everything they had. In the end, he killed his master with his own hands.
That was the legendary life of the current Great Ancestor of the Maoshan Sect.
"The Great Ancestor of the Maoshan Sect is over 200 years old," Xiatian said in surprise. That was the first time he heard of someone living over 200 years old.
The Great Ancestor of the Maoshan Sect was simply bragging. He did not write about his failures in life, only his legend. However, there was one name that caught Xiatian's attention.
The Old Monster Xue.
It said that half of the reason why the Maoshan Sect was able to defeat the Witchcraft Sect was because of the Old Monster Xue.
It was also because of the Old Monster Xue that the soul hunters were able to be successfully nurtured. There was also another thing recorded in the book, which was the Divine Guardian Beast of the Maoshan Sect. While there was no record of what the Divine Guardian Beast of the Maoshan Sect was, there was a mention of it.
It was said that the Divine Guardian Beast of the Maoshan Sect was something that the Old Monster Xue had researched.
"Old Monster Xue, Yuanmu said that the strange person I peeked at was called Grandmaster Xue. It seems like that person is the Old Monster Xue. What is he researching? Could it be the Divine Guardian Beast of the Maoshan Sect? "Xiatian recalled what the Old Monster Xue researched.
He felt that it was very familiar.
Now, he finally figured it out.
It turned out that the Old Monster Xue had been researching the Divine Guardian Beast of the Maoshan Sect.
Furthermore, the research required a lot of resources, and the success rate was very low. The Old Monster Xue would nurture a large number of women every single time. Those women were all young women who had just died. He would use their bodies to nurture the little ghosts. If the little ghosts failed, they would be killed right away. If they succeeded, they would become the legendary Divine Guardian Beast of the Maoshan Sect.
The Great Ancestor of the Maoshan Sect trusted the Old Monster Xue very much. The Old Monster Xue's status in the Maoshan Sect was even higher than the Yin and Yang Guardians. His powers were unfathomable.
