The Daoist Who Spoke Not Was Fated to Face This Tribulation

Jiang Lianyi looked slightly puzzled. Judging from the name, this should be Cultivation Method related to the Dragon and Phoenix clans, like a human body-refining Law Technique.

"There are no High Antiquity Cultivation Method humans to transform into dragons and phoenixes. Is it a new technique that emerged in modern times?"

Filled with curiosity, she carefully opened the book.

Then all sorts of obscene words appeared before her eyes, vividly describing the process of dragon and phoenix mating, which really startled her. As if she had been electrocuted, she quickly dropped the book.

"This... this... this is outrageous!"

Such books did not exist in High Antiquity times.

"Senior Lianyi, what's wrong?"

Hearing the commotion, Lu Yang rushed over. The second floor was very quiet; if you spoke even slightly loudly, everyone on the second floor would notice.

Who is the author of this book?

Which one?

Lu Yang closed the book, looked at the title on the cover, and remained silent for a long time.

Why is this book everywhere?

When he first came to the Scripture Depository, he came across this book and thought it was some kind of extraordinary encounter or mysterious Cultivation Method. Then, the senior brother in the Scripture Depository told him that this thing was an erotic book.

Just before heading to the Demon Realm, he learned from Grandpa Ba that this thing was written by his master, and the one in the Scripture Depository was probably the original.

The Dragon-Phoenix Change from the outside world have all been destroyed. Wasn't the first level of the Dragon-Phoenix Change scroll taken away by the senior disciples in the Scripture Depository? How come there's still one on the second level?

Master, just how many books did you put in the Scripture Depository? Is the saying "a cunning rabbit has three burrows" appropriate here?

"Who wrote this book?" Jiang Lianyi was furious and determined to make the author pay!

Lu Yang felt his scalp tingle from the question. This was an answer that concerned his master's life. Since he had joined the sect, his master had treated him well. Although he was rarely at the sect and had never guided his cultivation, his master often made enemies, which made Lu Yang afraid to reveal his sect when he went out. Because he was often imprisoned, his master was unable to participate in the imperial examinations and become an official.

But no matter what, even if the Silent Daoist has many faults, he is still my master!

"It was written by my master, the Silent Daoist."

Master is destined to face this tribulation, which is both a calamity and fortuitous opportunity. Master often teaches his eldest sister that pressure is the source of motivation, so Master must have already made ample mental preparations for this.

Jiang Lianyi nodded slightly, a terrifying smile playing on her lips, "Our Sect Master of the Ask Dao Sect, the Silent Daoist?"

"Right."

Where is he now?

"He wanders the world, his whereabouts unknown; even the elders of the sect cannot find him."

"Okay, I'll look for him after I go out."

Jiang Lianyi accepted the book "Dragon-Phoenix Change," but the contents of the book must not be seen by outsiders.

Just then, a hunched old man walked by; he had an unremarkable appearance.

"Fellow Daoist, this book belongs to my Scripture Depository. The note Xiao Yun wrote only said that you can enter the Scripture Depository and read the books at will, but it didn't say that you can take them away, did it?"

His voice was weathered and full of stories; he was a thin, elderly man.

His words, though slow, carried an undeniable air of authority.

"Master Tao." Lu Yang clasped his hands in greeting. This man was a figure of his master's generation, who had retired to guard the Sutra Scripture Depository. His cultivation was unfathomable.

Jiang Lianyi sneered, revealing her true face, and didn't take the old man seriously.

"The ancient ancestor of the Phoenix Clan?!" Elder Tao's eyes widened suddenly, his eyelids twitching repeatedly. As a senior cultivator, he had more experience than the eight elders and had seen Jiang Lianyi's statue in the Demon Realm.

"Ha, so what if I wanted to take it away?"

Old Tao was quite assertive. "Then take it with you, I didn't stop you!"

Lu Yang: "..."

While things remained calm within the Ask Dao Sect, the outside world was in complete chaos as news spread of the awakening of the Phoenix Clan's High Antiquity ancestor, a legendary ancient demon.

The news shocked the demon realm, the East Sea, the Buddhist kingdom, the imperial court, the martial arts world, the three major demonic sects, and the underground black market—wherever there were cultivators.

"The Phoenix Ancestor, who disappeared for 300,000 years, is actually still alive? And his fighting power is as strong as ever, defeating the so-called number one person below the immortals, the Supreme Zhu Tian?"

"Furthermore, Phoenix Ancestor is also known as one of the Four Emperors of Heaven, and the young leader of the Heavenly Court Sect also appeared with her at the founding ceremony of the Demon Kingdom!"

"The Heavenly Court Sect actually possesses such terrifying resources?"

"See what I told you? I said long ago that the Heavenly Court Sect is the real High Antiquity Heavenly Court. Don't think that just because you've read a couple of books you can say the Heavenly Court Sect is made up. The facts are right here!"

"Fengzu herself revealed the true form of the demon immortal, which is indeed the legendary auspicious Qilin!"

"Moreover, the Qilin Immortal and the Phoenix Ancestor are actually husband and wife. The Phoenix Clan's foundation is probably far beyond what people can imagine. No wonder there are High Antiquity rumors that no half-immortal dares to provoke the Phoenix Ancestor. With the Qilin Immortal as a backer, no one dares to provoke her."

In the small tavern, the drunken patrons talked about the Demon Realm with great enthusiasm, as if they had personally witnessed the earth-shattering battle between the demigods.

"Wait, Zhu Tian Supreme and Phoenix Ancestor, that is, there are two demigods in the Demon Realm?"

On the surface, none of the major powers have any half-immortals; the highest level they can reach is the Tribulation Transcendence stage. As a result, the Demon Realm has become the most powerful force.

"A fortune teller..."

Whether they are advanced cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm or old monsters in the Nascent Soul Realm stage, they all feel a sense of awe when they mention the realm of Half-Immortal, a realm that they could never reach in their lifetime.

Even most Foundation Establishment cultivators are unaware of the existence of the "Half-Immortal" realm. They happen to learn about this realm from others, which they can then use as a source of pride when they return home.

Spirit Transformation stage cultivators are considered the backbone of the cultivation world; their sense of smell is even more acute, and they detected an unusual aura.

"The awakening of two High Antiquity demigods in succession is probably no coincidence; this is the prelude to a great struggle..."

The old man in the dirty Daoist robe listened to the news in fits and starts, more moved than the others.

"How did Xiao Yang get in touch with Feng Zu and even trick her into joining our Heavenly Court Sect? Even I couldn't do something like that."

The Silent Daoist was quite puzzled; every time he heard about his little apprentice, it refreshed his understanding of the world.

"Xiao Yang is quite bold, daring to even deceive Feng Zu. Next time you see him, be sure to tell him that he shouldn't lie to people he can't afford to offend, as it can easily lead to trouble."

The Silent Daoist is experienced in deception, and his survival to this day is not a matter of luck, but rather because he has a bottom line: he will never provoke those he cannot afford to offend.

For example, someone as important as Feng Zu would definitely avoid him if he saw him, and he wouldn't even bother to meet him.

"Hmm? Someone's here?"

The Silent Daoist keenly sensed that an Integrated Body Great Talent was approaching him, and that the aura emanating from this cultivator was wild and unlike that of a human!

A burly middle-aged man entered the tavern and sat down next to the Silent Daoist, his deep voice filled with reverence for knowledge.

"I heard that you wrote the currently popular storytelling series 'The Ask Dao Sect.' Do you still accept apprentices?"

The Silent Daoist, upon recognizing the middle-aged man, paused slightly in surprise. "Clan Chief Jin?"

The second update will be at 11 PM.
