Chapter 413: The Powerful White Brahma Temple? Picking the Soft Persimmons!_2
If the combined strength of this White Brahma Temple was nothing impressive...
He could very well take the opportunity to eradicate this Demonic Path power, White Brahma Temple, in one fell swoop.
After all, since he had already come.
Wouldn't it be a loss not to try?
"Benefactor, you want to take action against this poor monk as soon as you arrive, that doesn't seem quite appropriate, does it?"
In the face of the Feng Family Ancestor, who was exuding a unique aura characteristic of the Post-Transcendental Stage and continuously closing in on himself.
The old monk's visage betrayed no trace of panic or insecurity.
Not to mention, this White Lotus Prefecture was the territory of his White Brahma Temple.
Even if it were not on the grounds of the White Brahma Temple.
He still had the confidence that he could clash with his current adversary, who was also in the Post-Transcendental Stage.
...
As time went by.
About the duration of one incense stick later.
In a certain area outside White Lotus Prefecture's White Brahma Temple.
Two cultivators, both of whom had also reached the realm of the Post-Transcendental Stage, were maintaining a safe distance from each other.
After this round of probing, the two had gained a basic understanding of each other's strength.
However, what neither of them had expected was...
That the strength of their opponent could be so formidable.
Although, neither side had shown their true capabilities at this moment.
Even so, they were already able to get a glimpse of the other's true power.
...
"Is this the true power of the Demon Power, White Brahma Temple?"
"Also having reached the Post-Transcendental Stage of power…"
"This really is beyond my expectations."
The Feng Family Ancestor squinted his eyes.
He silently watched the elder opposite him, while quietly contemplating in his heart.
Originally, before coming to the White Brahma Temple.
He thought that the abbot of White Brahma Temple, the strongest combatant of this place.
Would at most be a cultivator of the Intermediate Transcendent Realm—that would have been remarkable.
But who the hell could have imagined.
That this Demonic Path White Brahma Temple could produce a demon monk at the Post-Transcendental Stage.
This was truly unexpected.
Of course, the old ancestor of the Feng Family felt this way, and so did the abbot of the White Brahma Temple to a similar degree.
Since the White Brahma Temple was located on the land of Da Feng Dynasty's Imperial Feng Family.
Thus, his understanding of the Imperial Feng Family was rather profound.
He had assumed that within the territory of the Imperial Feng Family.
The emergence of a being at the Intermediate Transcendent Realm would already mean reaching their limit.
But who could have imagined...
That the Imperial Feng Family could produce an old ancestor at the Post-Transcendental Stage.
Damn it, this was simply outrageous.
And if, within this mere Imperial Feng Family, they could produce a cultivator at the Post-Transcendental Stage...
Then, how mighty would the comprehensive strength of the Luo Family from Qingshi City, which seemed to outclass the Imperial Feng Family by no small margin, be?
If it were not for the fact that the holy artifact White Brahma Lotus within his temple had never shown any sign of error.
He might even start to wonder if there was something wrong with the White Brahma Lotus he had cultivated.
...
Outside the White Brahma Temple, within White Lotus Prefecture.
After these two beings, who had both attained the Post-Transcendental Stage, had faced off for quite some time.
The two tacitly turned and departed.
The old ancestor from the Da Feng Dynasty's Royal Feng Family naturally wanted to hurry back to the territory of the Imperial Feng Family.
He quickly left the grounds of White Lotus Prefecture, which felt somewhat off no matter how one looked at it.
And the current abbot of the White Brahma Temple, who had the home-field advantage, had no intention of detaining that mysterious elder from the Royal Feng Family.
Not to mention the price he would have to pay to try to kill him.
Just the fact that they were both at the Post-Transcendental Stage.
If the other party was intent on leaving this place.
Could he really keep his opponent here?
Clearly, this was somewhat unrealistic.
Moreover, he was still counting on the Royal Feng Family to contend with the Luo Family from Qingshi City.
The White Brahma Temple, of course, would not engage in actions disadvantageous to itself.
...
Time elapsed.
In the blink of an eye, it had reached midday.
At this moment, the sun hung high in the sky.
The harsh sunlight incessantly scorched this stretch of land.
This caused countless common folk below the heavens to involuntarily furrow their brows.
Indeed, the weather was excessively harsh and scorching.
It truly made it difficult for people to endure the suffering.
...
Deep within the Imperial Palace, where the Da Feng Dynasty's Imperial Feng Family resided,
there stood a great hall guarded stringently and suffused with waves of imperial dignity.
At this time, Feng Wumian, the current royalty of the Da Feng Dynasty's Imperial Feng Family, sat solemnly on the main seat.
At this moment, he perused the political affairs in his hand while quietly sipping the cold tea in his cup.
"What about the matter I entrusted to you before, how has that progressed?"
Within the great hall,
suddenly, a somewhat aged voice arose near Feng Wumian's ear.
Feng Wumian, the reigning Emperor of the Da Feng Dynasty's Imperial Feng Family, immediately lifted his head and looked towards the source of the voice upon hearing it.
Indeed, right beside him,
he saw the most mysterious and also the strongest of his ancestors.
"Ancestor, the matter that you instructed has been mostly arranged,"
Feng Wumian stood up immediately upon seeing his family's elder ancestor.
It wasn't until he bowed his head and silently walked next to his ancestor
that he then spoke softly to him.
"Mostly arranged?"
The Feng Family's ancestor, after hearing this, silently glanced at the young man beside him and then couldn't help but sigh softly before saying, "Do you know what I saw when I recently visited the White Lotus Prefecture?"
Feng Wumian asked in a slightly perplexed tone, "The White Brahma Temple? Ancestor, what did you see?"
Although Feng Wumian felt somewhat puzzled as to why his ancestor would suddenly bring up the topic,
since the ancestor had said as much,
there must be a reason.
"I originally thought that the White Brahma Temple, merely holding a single prefecture's worth of territory, would have strength not worth fearing,"
"Therefore, I planned to resolve the issue with the Luo Family of Qingshi City first, then completely eradicate the Demonic Path forces within the White Lotus Prefecture,"
"However, what I did not expect was..."
"Within the White Brahma Temple, there also exists an individual whose cultivation has reached the Post-Transcendental Stage,"
"Luckily, as it seems, that individual has only just broken through to the Post-Transcendental Stage,"
"In a short period, he likely won't make another breakthrough in cultivation,"
the Feng Family's ancestor spoke in a hushed tone.
Upon hearing these words, Feng Wumian couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Post-Transcendental Stage...
Post-Transcendental Stage...
Post-Transcendental Stage...
That is the realm of Post-Transcendental Stage, not just any beginner who has stepped into the Mortal Transcendence Realm.
In this Cultivation World, the higher the cultivation level, the more enormous the gap between each minor realm becomes.
It is so with the Blood Refinement stage before Mortal Transcendence,
And even more so within this realm of Mortal Transcendence, which the world calls the Semi-Immortal Realm.
Therefore, when Feng Wumian heard that there was also a Cultivator in the realm of Post-Transcendental Stage within the White Brahma Temple,
his expression became so shockingly stunned,
that he actually stood frozen in thought for a time.
"Ancestor, if there is indeed a Cultivator at the Post-Transcendental Stage within the White Brahma Temple of the Demonic Path, then what should our Feng Family do next?"
Feng Wumian couldn't help but inquire softly while looking at the elder in front of him.
After a brief silence,
the expression of the Feng Family's elder gradually became resolute,
and then he seriously said, "Proceed as per the original plan. Since there exists a Cultivator of the Post-Transcendental Stage within the White Lotus Prefecture's White Brahma Temple, our next move against the Luo Family of Qingshi City seems all the more inevitable."
"Picking the softest persimmon to squeeze, is that not a fine strategy?"
As soon as the Feng Family's elder finished speaking, he suddenly vanished from the great hall.
Meanwhile, Feng Wumian remained in the great hall and, after contemplating for a moment,
silently nodded his head and said in a low voice, "Yes."
