I Have A Martial Dao World-Chapter 447 - : 447. Confirm the guess
Chapter 447: 447. Confirm the guess
Everyone arrived at the secret library together.
The first thing that caught their eyes was the “Xuanyue Seal of Peace” floating in the void, absorbing the power of wishes.
This was just a Magic Artifact that needed to be “charged” from time to time, and its potent abilities and mystical aspects were far less impressive than those of a Magical Treasure.
Furthermore, judging by the scale of the power of wishes, it was approximately just a few hundred thousand people’s worth, which was hardly worth mentioning.
The library also housed many books, as well as jade objects and stone steles engraved with text, all emitting fluctuations of the mind and spirit.
Zhang Yunshu stroked his beard and smiled, “The core secrets of the Wudang Sect’s Spirit Refining Cultivation are all here, Lord Lu is free to browse as he wishes.”
“Sect Leader Zhang has taken great pains, I won’t be polite then,” Lu Yao immediately began to look through them.
Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Mount Wudang had been a place where many hermits secretly cultivated, and the Wudang Sect was originally just a loose affiliation of friends and followers of these recluses.
Therefore, the Mystic Cultivation Manuals stored here were of various types, carefully categorized and organized according to year and affiliation.
This was the first time Lu Yao had access to the complete Spirit Refining legacy encompassing the entire history of the sect.
As he read, he saw it as a history of the decline of an extraordinary world.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were still works left about astral projection and Divine Manifestation. Afterward, the quality dropped off, with the current era mostly discussing matters related to “maintaining calm and stability”…
Lu Yao was filled with emotion as he read but felt vindicated as his suspicions were confirmed.
At this moment, he was perusing a set of handwritten notes.
The author was an obscure figure from the Southern Song Dynasty, but his master was a remarkable person—
Deng Andao, the Divine Manifestation True Grandmaster, who also enjoyed the offerings of the Imperial Court as the State Preceptor!
The Southern Song was so heavily pressured by the Mongols that it was gasping for air, teetering on the brink of national extinction.
Deng Andao felt deeply obliged to the Emperor’s grace and believed it was time for his own breakthrough, so he ignored all warnings and attempted to pass through the Heavenly Tribulation.
And so the tragedy occurred.
The author of the notes witnessed his own master “soaring straight up ninety thousand miles” to cross the Heavenly Tribulation, only to be captured by the Guiyi God above.

The original text read: “Demon Beasts spun webs across the celestial gates, covering an area of thirty thousand miles; their Divine Souls stuck, unable to escape…”
With the Divine Manifestation True Grandmaster no longer suppressing them, the Song Dynasty soon perished. This person left behind words warning future generations not to attempt crossing the Heavenly Tribulation.
Yet there were no shortage of individuals who took their chances, always believing themselves to be the exceptional case.
As the deaths mounted, all the sects tacitly sealed away everything related to the Heavenly Tribulation.

Lu Yao quickly finished reading the paper books, then looked over all the inscribed items as well.
“As expected, one cannot pass the Heavenly Tribulation in the Otherworld, the pathway to ascension is being blocked by that creature.”
Lu Yao showed no surprise, only thinking:
“Based on my previous experience of Divine Manifestation, I could totally return to Blue Star to cross the Heavenly Tribulation, and circumvent the blockade…”
At this moment, as Lu Yao pondered, the people around him did not even dare to breathe too loudly, fearing they might disturb him.
Fortunately, although there were many items in the library, the essentials of Spirit Refining were often profound yet succinct, so it didn’t take long to read through.
Having gained some knowledge about the Thunder Tribulation Realm, Lu Yao was quite satisfied with his findings, and said with a smile, “I thank Sect Leader Zhang for his generosity, I have no more questions now.”
“If Lord Lu is satisfied, that is good,” Zhang Yunshu said modestly. “Although Wudang has a long history, its zenith was during the Ming Dynasty, so there’s not much concerning the Heavenly Tribulation.”
He spoke the truth, but Lu Yao was already content, “Sect Leader Zhang is too modest, I truly benefitted a lot from Wudang’s complete Spirit Refining legacy.”
At this moment, Lu Yao thought to himself: Perhaps I could also take a look at the Joyful Sect.
Despite the sect’s poor reputation, it has a long-standing legacy, even older than that of the Wudang Sect.
~~~~~~~~~~
Having gone through the entire Wudang Sect’s Mystic Cultivation Manual, there was no need to stay any longer; everyone started to head back.
Zhang Yunshu took the lead, reminiscing about some historical anecdotes, “Speaking of which, Bai Lu’s ancestors had some connections with Grandmaster Yu.”
At these words, everyone suddenly became interested.
Zhang Yunshu continued:
“In the final years of the previous dynasty, the Jin Army breached the defenses, burning, killing, and looting along their path, bringing untold misery to the people.
Seven eminent figures could not stand by and watch, so they sacrificed themselves in a decisive strike outside of Imperial City, assassinating the Great Khan of the Jin Empire, Nurhaci.”
“That battle was truly earth-shattering, and it even changed the course of the world’s major trends.
Bai Lu’s ancestor, the sixth-generation Grandmaster from Grandmaster Yu’s lineage, took part in that assassination.”
Hearing this, Lu Yao also remembered something Yu Yanmei had mentioned; her ancestor had perished alongside the Jin general, Batulu.
“Never expected there to be such a connection.”
The looks everyone gave Bai Lu clearly changed.
Following that, Zhang Yunshu changed the subject, “My disciple has always admired Lord Lu, and since you are all young, you may exchange ideas more often.”
Hearing her master’s such frank words, Bai Lu visibly stiffened.
She still hadn’t recovered from her experience in the Mausoleum Underground Palace, and the terrifying image of The Empress Dowager drawing her sword would flash before her eyes whenever she closed them.
This tender young Daoist nun had developed an innate fear of matters between men and women; now, she nervously stole several glances at Lu Yao.
Luckily, Lu Yao just politely said, “Of course, of course, we should indeed visit each other more often.”
Seizing the moment, Zhang Yunshu suggested, “Why don’t you, Lord Lu, stay at Mount Wudang for a few days? We can exchange and spar with each other.”
The girls originally thought that their beloved would tactfully decline and quickly return to Imperial City, especially since there was a significant event awaiting him.
But unexpectedly, Lu Yao agreed, “I would like nothing more.”
And so, the family settled down peacefully in the scenic Mount Wudang.
During the day, he would exchange and spar with Zhang Yunshu and Zhou He, while at night, he would close the doors to discuss matters with his own family, finding the life quite delightful.
Only Yu Yanmei deliberately avoided Lu Yao, never being alone with him, which was a pity as it meant they had no opportunity for further intimacy.
By the third day, the sisters realized that their husband didn’t seem to be very interested in becoming the Emperor.
At that moment, the Liao Family Sisters were massaging Lu Yao.
Liao Qe, while massaging his feet, asked without any reservations, “Lu Yao, don’t you want to become the Emperor?”
“To tell you the truth, not really; being the Emperor of the mortal world isn’t that appealing to me.”
Lu Yao rested his head upon Liao Ya’s chest, comfortably squinting and saying:
“Besides the lack of benefits, there are a lot of troubles. Compared to being Emperor, I would much rather break through to the Thunder Tribulation Realm or achieve the Martial Golden Body. Plus, I have my own plans for some matters.”
Liao Ya, with her spring onion-like fingers, massaged the top of his head, agreeing with his opinion:
“Whether our junior brother becomes the Emperor or not doesn’t really matter; personal strength is fundamental, otherwise, you’ll end up like Emperor Yong’an.”
Hearing this, Lu Yao vigorously rubbed his head against her ample and luxurious good-heartedness, “You’re right, sister, being powerful is fundamental. And as long as I have all of you by my side, that’s enough for me.”
“You sure know how to make someone happy~” The sisters’ smiles bloomed like flowers, clearly delighted.
Just then, Li Pei rushed in hectically, holding a newspaper in her hand:
“My lord, Left Minister is personally promoting you!”
The newspaper headlines boldly stated—The Left Minister says the Li Clan is immoral, it might be possible to emulate the abdication system to choose a new and wise ruler!
Lu Yao, holding the newspaper, shook his head with a wry smile, “They’re being too hasty…”
