After Lin Qingzhu left the hall, the old man smiled at Ye Qiu and said, "Don't be nervous. I kept you here because I want to discuss some things with you."
"Please speak freely, Lord Palace Master," Ye Qiu said.
"Alright." The old man slowly rose. "My Holy Son bears a heavy responsibility and will be going to war in the future, but he lacks tempering. Could you serve as his whetstone?"
"Hmm?" Ye Qiu frowned. "What does the old hall master mean? This junior does not understand."
"It means exactly what it says, to be his sparring partner and hone his combat skills," the old man said.
"I can't do it." Ye Qiu decisively refused: "My combat strength is average, I can't be a sparring partner."
"You overpowered everyone in Tongcheng, and you call that ordinary?" The old man narrowed his eyes slightly. "How about this? If you agree, the library of the Supreme God Temple will be open to you, and you can study the scriptures and cultivation techniques inside at will."
Furthermore, you can join the Supreme Temple as a Literary Instructor, with a status no lower than any elder. What do you think?
It's a deal.
Ye Qiu agreed very quickly this time.
"You little rascal, you're really cunning," the old man said. "Since you've agreed, then from now on, you'll fight the Holy Son every day."
Regardless of whether you can defeat him, you cannot win; you must lose, so as not to affect his Dao heart.
"That's probably difficult," Ye Qiu said. "After all, I'm too invincible."
"Haha, he's not weak either, but you really can't win. His Dao heart must be firm and unwavering until he reaches the peak of the Cave Technique," the old man said.
"Where will he go to fight in the future?" Ye Qiu asked curiously.
“We can’t say, but we’re not fighting for him personally,” the old man said.
"Alright, since that's the case, I'll listen to you and not beat him," Ye Qiu said with a smile.
"Well, you go ahead and get busy. Once you break through to the Cave Technique Realm, then you can spar with him. You also need to enter the Cave Technique Realm as soon as possible, otherwise, a battle with him won't have any training effect."
"Alright, then I'll take my leave."
Ye Qiu clasped his hands in a fist salute, then turned and left.
As soon as they stepped out of the main hall, Lin Qingzhu immediately came to greet them: "What did the Hall Master say to you?"
"He told me to stay away from you, not to get close to you, and to draw a clear line between us," Ye Qiu said.
"Huh?" Lin Qingzhu's expression changed slightly: "How could the Palace Master do this? I'm going to confront him."
"No, no, I was just kidding." Ye Qiu pulled Lin Qingzhu away quickly, saying as they walked, "He made me be the Holy Son's sparring partner to hone the Holy Son's combat skills, and he wouldn't even let me beat the Holy Son."
"You agreed?"
"I agree," Ye Qiu said. "The benefit is that I can freely enter and exit the library of the Supreme God Temple."
"Are you crazy?" Lin Qingzhu glared at Ye Qiu. "Are you really willing to be just a background character for the Holy Son?"
"It doesn't matter," Ye Qiu said with a smile. "When it comes to cultivation, no one can predict what the future holds."
"And I'm also curious. The old temple master said the Holy Son will be going to war in the future, and I'm curious where he'll be fighting. I guess it must be a big event, so it wouldn't hurt to lend him a hand."
“I know where he’s going to fight.” Lin Qingzhu looked around and whispered, “He’s probably going to the Void Battlefield to fight against the people of the God Realm.”
"What is the Void Battlefield?" Ye Qiu asked curiously.
"Legend has it that this place was created by immortals and demons in the ancient times. It was not called the Void Battlefield before, but the Void Realm. It was originally a place to connect the God Realm and the Celestial Realm."
However, later on, conflicts between the two realms became frequent, and major battles occurred from time to time. The God Realm was more powerful and dealt several serious blows to the Celestial Realm.
Therefore, the Celestial Realm severed ties with the Divine Realm, and the two sides have been constantly clashing in the Void Realm for many years. The Void Realm has gradually become known as the Void Battlefield.
If one day, those of us on the Void Battlefield cannot withstand the divine realm's offensive, then the Celestial Realm will be transformed.
"I understand," Ye Qiu said. "It seems that what the Holy Son is going to do is the important task of protecting our homeland, so I should help him even more."
“Actually, it’s good for you to help him,” Lin Qingzhu said. “If you help him rise to power, you won’t have to go to the Void Battlefield when he goes there.”
"We'll deal with the future later; let's focus on doing the present thing well first."
"Take me to the library first. I'm very interested in the library of the Supreme God Temple," Ye Qiu said.
"Okay, I'll take you there."
...
Soon after, Lin Qingzhu personally led Ye Qiu into the library.
The library has three floors, and whether viewed from the outside or the inside, it is an ancient three-story building that exudes the atmosphere of time.
Inside the first floor, many disciples were reading various ancient books, cultivation methods, or spells.
Upon seeing Lin Qingzhu, they all greeted her, while simultaneously casting surprised glances at Ye Qiu.
"Who is that person? The Holy Maiden actually brought him in herself."
"I don't know. The Holy Maiden just returned from Tongcheng. I guess she brought people back from Tongcheng."
"Don't you know? That person is called Ye Qiu, the number one genius in Tongcheng. Those poems that have recently become popular are all his work."
"Oh, it's him! I like his poem 'Ancient Ballad of the Moon'."
"I love the poem 'Drinking Alone Under the Moon,' with its lines 'Heaven has endowed me with talents that will surely be put to use, and even if I spend all my money, it will come back again.' I never imagined that the person who wrote such a heroic poem would be so young and handsome. I really want to go up and say hello, hehe." A female disciple's beautiful eyes lit up slightly as she stared intently at Ye Qiu.
In just a short while, the atmosphere at the scene became lively.
Lin Qingzhu whispered to Ye Qiu, "I didn't expect you to have fans in the Supreme God Temple. You're quite something."
"That's not important." Ye Qiu smiled as he flipped through the various cultivation techniques and spells on the first floor, but he couldn't muster any interest in them.
