Under Kunlun Mountain.
Inside an inn.
At this time, because of the appearance of the War God Temple, many martial artists in the world gathered at Kunlun Mountain, wanting to see the legendary glory of the War God Temple with their own eyes. After all, for thousands of years, as long as a martial artist came out of the War God Temple alive, they were at least Grade 1 Great Perfection, and there was no lack of Legends.
No martial artist would ignore this kind of once-in-a-millennium opportunity. As a result, the inns at the foot of Kunlun Mountain were full of people coming and going.
And at this time.
Outside the inn, two figures slowly walked in. On the left was a man with a calm expression, and on the right was a little girl in her teens.
"Third Uncle."
"What are we doing here?"
The little girl looked up at the man and whispered.
"I'll let you see what murderous aura is." The man's gaze was deep as he said lightly.
These two people were naturally Su Qin and Li Wan.
Li Wan comprehended the sword intent left by Su Qin day and night. Although she had the realm of Sword Dao, she lacked murderous aura. Su Qin took advantage of the appearance of the War God Temple to bring Li Wan out.
Martial Dao Cultivation, especially Sword Dao, must go through a lot of life and death battles. And Li Wan, as the Princess of The Empire of Tang, has a respected status. In the Imperial Palace, those red-clothed eunuchs and the Deputy Commander of the Forbidden Army, who would dare to attack Li Wan?
Therefore, Su Qin brought Li Wan out. Anyway, even without Li Wan, Su Qin would have come to Kunlun Mountain. It was completely a piece of cake.
"Oh …"
When Li Wan heard Su Qin's words, she immediately stood beside Su Qin.
When the two walked into the inn, the waiter immediately greeted them and said respectfully, "Two guests, please go upstairs."
The waiter's eyes were sharp. Although he couldn't see anything from Su Qin, the more so, the more he didn't dare to be careless.
During this time, who knows how many martial artists passed by. Maybe Su Qin was a hidden master.
Very soon.
After Su Qin sat down, Li Wan also sat down next to him.
"There are still a few days left."
Su Qin raised his head and looked at the peak of Kunlun Mountain. At this close distance, he could clearly sense when the War God Temple would appear.
When he was in Chang 'an City, he was a hundred thousand miles away from Kunlun Mountain. Although he could vaguely sense the fluctuations in space with the Eye of Truth and the Celestial Being Aura Gazing Art, he was able to deduce when the War Temple would appear.
However, that was only a rough guess. There was an error of half a month to a month. But now, Su Qin was at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, and he had already accurately estimated the time of the War God Temple's appearance to be within a few days.
"Since everything has reached a bottleneck, it won't hurt to wait for a few days." Su Qin tapped his right hand on the wooden table.
Now that he had mastered the basics of the Picture of the Great Sun, there was no way he would be able to achieve minor accomplishment in a short period of time. As for breaking through to the Ninth Heavenly Layer, it was not something he could do immediately.
"I wonder what kind of surprise the War God Temple will give me?"
Su Qin's gaze was faint as he thought to himself.
Just as Su Qin was thinking.
The inn was already in an uproar.
Many martial artists gathered here began to talk.
"Do you think the Green City Sword King will come this time when the War God Temple appears?" A black-clothed man asked with interest.
The Green City Sword King is a Grade 1 Great Grandmaster who has risen in recent years. He is good at killing and has once suppressed several Great Grandmasters of the same level with his own strength.
"The Green City Sword King?"
A martial artist chuckled. "The appearance of the War God Temple is rare. Not to mention the Green City Sword King, even those Peak Grade 1 old monsters would not be able to hold back."
"Peak Grade 1 …"
The whole inn suddenly went quiet.
Even if it is far beyond the Tidal Recovery, and the Cultivation environment has become easier, a Peak Grade 1 Great Grandmaster is still rare.
"What about Grade 1 and above?" Another martial artist asked with a burning gaze.
"Above Grade 1 …"
Everyone's complexion changed slightly.
Although a Peak Grade 1 Great Grandmaster is above Grade 1, it is still within the realm of Grade 1. Only Legends and Venerable Arhat can truly be called above Grade 1.
"In this era, we clearly know that there are two existences above Grade 1. One is the Venerable of the Shaolin Temple, and the other is the Legend of Chang 'an City."
At this time, a man in green clothes, who had been sitting on the second floor of the inn, slowly spoke.
As soon as the man in green clothes spoke, everyone in the inn looked at him.
"He is?"
A martial artist's complexion changed as he looked at the man in green clothes in disbelief.
"The Green City Sword King, I didn't expect the Green City Sword King to have already arrived at Kunlun Mountain …" Some martial artists looked at each other in shock.
This man in green clothes is the Green City Sword King they were talking about just now.
The Green City Sword King is a Grade 1 Great Grandmaster who has recently risen. His reputation has almost overshadowed the older generation of Great Grandmasters.
"Sword King, who do you think is stronger, the Venerable of the Shaolin Temple or the Legend of Chang 'an City?"
The man in black clothes who had just spoken suddenly asked, his face full of curiosity.
When the other martial artists heard this, they immediately pricked up their ears. Obviously, they also wanted to know this matter.
Throughout the ages, Legends and Venerable Arhat have always been at the limit of the Martial Dao. Although the two have different names, they belong to the same level.
"Who is stronger and who is weaker …"
The Green City Sword King looked hesitant. Although he knows more than most people present, how can he know the strength of a Legend?
"Based on the current record, the Legend of Chang 'an City should be stronger." The Green City Sword King lowered his head and thought for a while.
The reason why he came to this conclusion was entirely because many Legends have fallen in Chang 'an City.
Whether it was the Imperial Teacher of the Meng Yuan Empire or the Blood Kill Gate Ancestor, they all showed the terrifying strength of the Legend of Chang 'an City.
As for the Venerable of the Shaolin Temple, from the beginning to the end, he only made a move after the Demon Lord came.
Compared with the Legend of Chang 'an City, he is, of course, weaker.
"So that's how it is."
Many martial artists in the inn were deep in thought.
"Sword King, you haven't said, will the Venerable of the Shaolin Temple and the Legend of Chang 'an City come this time when the War God Temple appears?"
A martial artist seemed to have thought of something and asked loudly.
"I don't know about the Legend of Chang 'an City." The Green City Sword King glanced at the crowd and said in a low voice, "But the Venerable of the Shaolin Temple is very likely not to come."
As soon as these words came out.
Many martial artists present suddenly looked puzzled.
They never thought that the Green City Sword King would be so sure that the Venerable of the Shaolin Temple would not come.
"I have checked the ancient books. The Legends and Venerable Arhat born in the past will not stay on this continent for long. Instead, they will cross the sea and leave in pursuit of a higher realm."
The Green City Sword King did not keep them in suspense and said bluntly, "Twenty years ago, a Venerable came out of the Shaolin Temple, but in the past twenty years, there has been no news about this Venerable."
"I think it is very likely that this Venerable has left the Shaolin Temple and left this continent …"
Although the Green City Sword King's tone was very light, it spread throughout the inn and resounded in everyone's ears.
This was not only the Green City Sword King's thought, but also the speculation of other Grade 1 Great Grandmasters and even Peak Grade 1.
The Venerable Arhat of the Shaolin Temple may have left long ago.
"Yes."
"If there is still a Venerable in the Shaolin Temple, I'm afraid that he would have already announced to the world that the Buddhists are respected. How could he still be there for twenty years?"
Many martial artists nodded slightly in agreement.
Although the Buddhists pursue being aloof from worldly affairs, being aloof from worldly affairs does not mean that they do not fight for anything. Even if the Shaolin Temple is not interested in worldly power, it can at least strengthen its position among the Four Buddhist Sects.
"The Sword King's words make sense."
A martial artist sighed with emotion. "However, the Shaolin Temple has just produced a Venerable, and not long after, there was a Xuan Ku, A Holy Monk. When has God ever favored the Buddhists …"
"Xuan Ku, A Holy Monk?
As soon as these words came out, the entire inn fell silent again.
In the Buddhist Sects, only a Grade 1 Great Grandmaster is qualified to be called A Holy Monk.
And 'Xuan Ku, A Holy Monk, can be said to be the strongest of the younger generation in the past ten years. Even a Sword Dao Great Grandmaster like the Green City Sword King was suppressed by him.
Ten years ago, 'Xuan Ku, A Holy Monk, walked out of the Shaolin Temple, but he was only Grade 2.
But in the past ten years, 'Xuan Ku, A Holy Monk, quickly rose to Grade 1, and was at the Peak of Grade 1. He was only half a step away from completing the transformation and becoming a Peak Grade 1. In a few months, he killed seven Grade 1 Great Grandmaster Evil Martial Artists in a row, shocking the world.
"Xuan Ku …"
The Green City Sword King's pupils shrank slightly. He once secretly fought with Xuan Ku, but after only a few moves, he was defeated and fled. It can be said that that battle was the shadow of his life.
"It is said that 'Xuan Ku, A Holy Monk, is a disciple of the Venerable of the Shaolin Temple. How can he not be strong?" A martial artist said mysteriously.
"A disciple of the Venerable …"
Everyone was suddenly stunned, but when they thought about it, they felt that it was only natural.
The means of the Venerable are not something that they can figure out. A disciple of the Venerable, let alone a Grade 1 Great Grandmaster, even if he is a Grade 1 Great Perfection, it is still natural.
"Third Uncle."
"That 'Xuan Ku, A Holy Monk, I heard Imperial Father mention him …" Li Wan listened with relish, looked up at Su Qin and said excitedly.
"Xuan Ku?"
"A Holy Monk?"
Su Qin touched his chin.
He did not expect that 'Xuan Ku' would step into Grade 1 Great Grandmaster so quickly.
According to Su Qin's estimation in the Shaolin Temple, even if 'Xuan Ku has a Buddha-heart, it will take at least 50 years to enter Grade 1, and then 100 years to reach Grade 1 Great Perfection and try to break through to the Venerable Arhat Realm.
But now, in less than 20 years, 'Xuan Ku' has already reached Grade 1 …
"Is it the effect of the recovery of the Vitality Tide?"
Su Qin's face was thoughtful.
The recovery of the Vitality Tide happened in the past decade. It is completely natural that 'Xuan Ku' benefited from it and stepped into Grade 1 in advance.
"I haven't been back to the Shaolin Temple for a long time …" Su Qin sighed softly. The next moment, he seemed to feel something and looked up in a certain direction.
"Huh?"
A trace of surprise appeared on Su Qin's face.
