I Have Countless Past-life Identities-Chapter 50 - 48: Divine Thought Inheritance of the Great Demon Hunter Master? Meeting of the Three Martial Temple Leaders—All Gaze at Each Other in Silence!
Song Chai Xin’s face looked somewhat unpleasant.
After having observed many statues of titled nobles, the desire that arose in his heart was temporarily cast aside.
At this moment, he steps into the Martial Temple while glancing back.
He can see Ge Xiu tearing through space in a hurry, seemingly to investigate something, which makes him feel even heavier.
The thing he feared most still happened.
Will the Great Zhao Martial Temple reject him or oppose him because of the half-demon blood flowing in him?
"Are you worried about the fact that you are a Half-Demon?"
Suddenly, a voice like a spring breeze sounded behind him, causing Song Chai Xin to turn his head.
He saw Ye Huai, also from Baoping State, nodding and smiling at him:
"There have been two Half-Demon leaders in the Martial Temple before, you need not panic."
"However, the previous Half-Demons did not have the dragon blood you possess, nor were they related to the Dao Lineage level Jing River Dragon Court, which is what startled everyone."
"That’s why Sacrificial Officer Ge was so shocked earlier."
Ye Huai’s words finally relaxed Song Chai Xin’s heavy heart for a moment.
Examples are good, examples mean there is a way to deal with it.
But he wonders, how to handle it?
As Song Chai Xin was pondering.
"The past Half-Demon leaders couldn’t inherit the Martial Temple’s heroic legacy because these Great Powers’ divine thought mainly considers talent first and bloodline second."
"That’s why those two returned with nothing."
"But before returning from the ’Ancient Path of Reception’, they would sign a promise with the Martial Temple, never to engage even slightly with demon-related matters in this life; otherwise, they would be collectively attacked by the Demon Hunting Department."
Lu Miaomiao walked gracefully forward.
"Song Chai Xin..." The woman frowned slightly.
"In the Wutong Prefecture Examination, is there a rival, two or three years older than you, coming from the Divine Capital, competing for the leader position named Jiang Yi?"
Upon hearing the name Jiang Yi, Song Chai Xin was slightly taken aback, but he also looked at the Pilgrimage Stele listing the household registration of seventeen people, knowing that the woman in front of him was from a famous square in the Divine Capital.
Judging by the look between her brows, she seemed familiar with Jiang Yi from the Divine Capital.
However, Song Chai Xin did not conceal anything but straightforwardly narrated Jiang Yi’s matters and added:
"In the leader competition, everyone wants to seize the ’Martial Temple Qualification’ opportunity."
"No one will give way."
"I don’t know what relationship Miss Lu has with Brother Jiang, but regarding this, I hope for your understanding."
After speaking, he calmly looked at Lu Miaomiao.
But the woman merely nodded after hearing him, matching his words with a simple ’hm’:
"That’s indeed the case."
"Jiang Yi and I have had a marriage arrangement since before our birth and grew up together."
"But later, his family fell from greatness, my parents made some critical comments, so I wanted him to come temporarily under my family, hopefully achieving early success in cultivation and then revive his family’s glory."
"However, in the Divine Capital, Celestial Prides are wild and unyielding, often elevating one and stepping on another; he heard much gossip and suffered a lot of oppression, thus unwilling to follow and hoping to rely on himself to repeat his ancestor’s glory."
"So, he traveled long and far to Wutong Prefecture."
"Where he met you, and your mentioned Xu Zuorong from the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall."
Lu Miaomiao did not show much emotional fluctuation, just slight disappointment hearing Jiang Yi did not arrive.
But she did not place blame on Song Chai Xin.
After all, one cannot say much after losing.
"Song Leader can attempt in the Martial Temple; he might receive a blessing from a high noble there, who knows."
"Just please remember to convey a message to Jiang Yi when you return to Wutong Prefecture, telling him if things cannot be done, he should not insist. The Lu Mansion’s resources are enough to restore the Jiang Family’s honor."
"Lu Miaomiao is always waiting for him."
After finishing, Lu Miaomiao left straightaway and sat cross-legged at a closer statue seat, instantly attracting a divine thought, seemingly receiving a ’legacy.’
[Lu Miaomiao’s favorability towards you increased: from indifferent coldness → Jianghu encounter.]
Having ancestors indeed brings shade.
Moreover...
Great Zhao founded decades ago.
The people inside this Martial Temple... fear half haven’t died yet!
If a Celestial Pride with ancestral blessings comes, they can sit down and receive teachings just like Lu Miaomiao, evoking envy.
"We are both from Baoping State, managing to enter the Martial Temple; decades from now, perhaps we’ll be colleagues, guarding a state together."
"My name is Ye Huai, let’s be friends."
Ye Huai watched Lu Miaomiao leave, undeterred by Song Chai Xin’s Half-Demon identity, patted his shoulder with a hearty laugh, and went to a middle statue, emulating Lu Miaomiao and sitting down.
[Ye Huai’s favorability towards you increased: from indifferent coldness → Jianghu encounter.]
Their actions made Song Chai Xin quite surprised.
Observing the seventeen people entering the Martial Temple, only a third obtained a legacy.
Those who received it mostly came in with purpose, knowing where to find ’heroic legacy’ like Ye Huai and Lu Miaomiao.
Just one or two lucky individuals probably resonated somehow, receiving a gift under some erstwhile noble’s statue.
Turns out...
For ordinary prefecture city leaders, the greatest opportunity here is that quick-awakening Ancient Path of Reception outside!
Even upon entering, most just carve their names for future admiration and pass through the stages before returning home.
Somehow, Song Chai Xin felt sentimental.
Everywhere, one must compete in background and foundation!
Material companions, method and place, truly indispensable, lacking one won’t do.
In that case, all rely on luck, why not...
Thinking this, Song Chai Xin suddenly had an inspiration and looked towards the most central ’statue’ at the end.
There were nearly a hundred statues in the Martial Temple.
But only seven stood at the forefront.
And surrounded by six other statues in the middle, like the center of attention among nearly a hundred statues, at the end...
It held a resonating title,
called ————
Great Demon Hunter Master!
Song Chai Xin walked forward more and more,
the closer to the statue, the more his heart throbbed inexplicably.
Unconsciously, he had already reached the front.
At the same time...
He gently touched the point of the Great Demon Hunter Master’s sword touching the ground with his finger.
In a flash,
The Martial Temple shook.
...
Outside the Martial Temple at the Sacrificial Wine Mansion.
Sacrificial Officer Ge Xiu, using Great Zhao’s official order, communicated with two influential figures from Baoping State and a ’Marquis Wu’ from the Divine Capital.
For such unimportant matters, it’s naturally unnecessary to deliver it for judgment in ’Lingxiao Pavilion’, nor will it be sent to the Empress’s secluded door seeking divine intervention.
Just having two of Baoping State’s governors involved is already showing enough respect.
The Master of Baoping State, wearing a mask, along with Xiang Zhulu’s superior, the Baoping Demon Hunter General, suddenly descended with divine thoughts.
The four had just begun discussing,
when suddenly behind them, the Martial Temple’s aura rushed to the heavens!
Vaguely...
A flamboyant phantom appeared, cloaked in prison guard uniform, carrying a dragon head on its shoulder, stepping on Phoenix Corpse magnificently, and enveloped the vast Martial Temple in an instant, only to flicker away again!
The four were taken aback, standing up wordlessly.
"Who..."
"Got the Great Demon Hunter Master’s divine thought legacy?!"
