Chapter 1814 Joyful Zen Temple
The patrol members were all dumbfounded. No one expected that the Great Sage Divine Maiden not only had no intention of killing the powerful man named Ye Yi, but also invited him to participate in the Heavenly Pride Conference.
This so-called Gathering of Prodigies is not what most people imagine; the strongest among them even includes those at the peak of the Great Sage realm.
In their eyes, everyone below the Quasi-Heavenly Emperor is considered a junior who has not yet grown up and is not qualified to participate in such a conference.
Therefore, even though their strength is at the Great Sage level, they are still among those invited.
The weakest are those in the Longevity Realm, and those who have not reached the Longevity Realm are not qualified to participate in the Heavenly Pride Tournament.
Only those who aspire to immortality can barely be considered geniuses. Below immortality, all are mere ants.
Afterwards, the Divine Maiden Great Sage invited Ye Ning to find a place to stay temporarily.
Ye Ning naturally wouldn't refuse; he wanted to get to know this Divine Maiden Great Sage better and learn more about the Buddhist Land.
Ye Ning was filled with curiosity about this Buddhist land.
At that moment, the voice of the Immortal-Slaying Blade rang in Ye Ning's mind: "Why do I have a feeling that this Divine Maiden Great Sage harbors ill intentions towards you?"
Ye Ning was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "With you here, why would I be afraid of her? Even if a quasi-Heavenly Emperor came, he couldn't possibly hurt me. If he wants to scheme, let him scheme."
Upon hearing Ye Ning's words, the voice of the Immortal Slayer Blade rang out, tinged with a hint of sourness: "I think you were just too pretty to be on guard. Do you want something to happen between you? If I'm not mistaken, this goddess is no longer a virgin."
Ye Ning was taken aback; he really didn't mean that.
This goddess, the Great Sage, was clearly no pushover. Although she was very polite to me, it was because she didn't know my identity and guessed that I might have an extraordinary background, which is why she was so polite.
As for developing any kind of relationship beyond friendship with the Divine Maiden Great Sage, Ye Ning would never allow that.
Seeing that Ye Ning was fully conscious, the Immortal-Slaying Blade said nothing more.
The Immortal-Slaying Blade was worried that Ye Ning would be blinded by lust and eventually fall for the Great Sage Divine Maiden's tricks, or even actually take her under his wing.
If a woman with such impure intentions were to become Ye Ning's woman, it would definitely not be a good thing.
Although Ye Ning is a womanizer, he absolutely cannot allow such a person to infiltrate his harem.
Ye Ning then followed the Great Sage Divine Maiden to the place she claimed to be staying. When he saw the name of the sect, Ye Ning was slightly taken aback. This place was the Joyful Zen Temple.
Ye Ning stared at Shen Ji in surprise, clearly not expecting her to be the successor of the Joyful Zen.
Seeing Ye Ning's surprised expression, Shen Ji smiled faintly: "Brother Ye, you don't look down on me because of this, do you? You don't want to befriend me?"
Ye Ning paused for a moment, then shook his head and said with a smile, "What's the big deal? Everyone has a different path. I never thought it was anything special, just a little unexpected."
Seeing that Ye Ning's words did not seem to be false, Shen Ji immediately smiled. Her bright eyes sparkled as she said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Ye is indeed no ordinary person. I underestimated Fellow Daoist Ye."
Ye Ning smiled slightly, and then walked into the Joyful Zen Temple with Shen Ji.
Contrary to Ye Ning's expectations, Huanxi Temple was also incredibly peaceful, filled with auspicious energy, and solemn and dignified.
There were many handsome men and beautiful women among them, all Buddhist disciples, but they did not have any lewd or evil aura. Instead, they gave people a solemn and dignified feeling, extremely sacred.
These people seemed more like Buddhist disciples than Guangyuan Buddha. When they saw Ye Ning, they looked surprised, clearly not expecting that Ye Ning would return with the Divine Maiden Great Sage.
"I've met the sect master!"
At this moment, many people bowed in respect. The Great Sage Divine Maiden held a high position in the Joyful Zen Temple, and was actually the sect leader of the Joyful Zen Temple.
The Great Sage Divine Maiden waved her hand and said, "No need to be polite. This is Fellow Daoist Ye, who is very powerful. Don't underestimate him just because he is only at the Star-Picking Realm; he just killed two high-level Saint Venerable experts."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression turned serious.
They had initially looked at Ye Ning with a hint of doubt, wondering why such a junior at the Star-Picking Realm would return with their sect leader.
But now everyone understands that this is no junior at all; he is a true dragon.
Killing a Saint Venerable expert at the Star-Picking level is simply too unbelievable, isn't it?
Who else but the renowned Lord of Heaven could accomplish this?
It's so good that just thinking about it leaves one speechless and parched.
Ye Ning smiled faintly, knowing the shock in their hearts.
His body radiated an aura of immortality. He cupped his hands in greeting to the crowd and said with a smile, "Ye Yi greets all fellow Daoists."
The members of the Joyful Zen Temple also realized what was happening. They immediately returned the greeting, and at the same time, sensing the immortal aura on Ye Ning's body, everyone couldn't help but feel a jolt in their hearts.
They thought of the powerful figures who had recently appeared, each one connected to immortals, possessing an aura of immortality, and terrifyingly strong, capable of fighting against powerful figures of higher realms despite being of lower realms.
If the person in front of you is of the same background as that group, then it makes sense.
Thinking of this, they looked at Ye Ning with a mixture of awe and curiosity.
"Everyone, don't be nervous. Fellow Daoist Ye will stay at our Huanxi Temple for a while, and in a few days he will go to the Tianjiao Conference with me."
If any of you wish to discuss the Dao with Fellow Daoist Ye during this time, you are welcome to seek him out.
Upon hearing the words of the Divine Maiden Great Sage, many female disciples' eyes lit up, and they looked at Ye Ning as if they wanted to devour him alive.
Such a prodigy possesses immense talent and must have a profound foundation.
If the female disciples could comprehend the Joyful Zen with Ye Ning, it would greatly boost their own foundation and strength. Therefore, their eyes shone as they looked at Ye Ning, as if they couldn't help but rush over and devour him alive at any moment.
Ye Ning knew that they were after his body, or rather, his true essence, and wanted to practice the Joyful Zen with him.
Ye Ning smiled, but made no comment to the female disciples.
Seeing this, the goddess nodded. As expected of a powerful being related to immortals, her composure alone was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Afterwards, the Great Sage Divine Maiden arranged a welcoming banquet for Ye Ning, and the disciples of the Joyful Zen Temple naturally dared not neglect him.
The welcoming banquet was quite grand. Some female disciples approached Ye Ning and tried to signal to him that they wanted to practice the Joyful Meditation with him, but Ye Ning refused them all without any hesitation.
Seeing this, the Great Sage Divine Maiden didn't think much of it. She just smiled and said, "It seems that Fellow Daoist Ye doesn't think much of my disciples."
Ye Ning smiled slightly and said, "With no woman in your heart, your cultivation will naturally become divine."
The goddess thought for a moment, then showed a surprised expression and exclaimed, "Fellow Daoist is right. Cultivation does require single-mindedness, but it is also necessary to have a Daoist partner to cultivate with. I wonder what Fellow Daoist thinks of me?"
Upon hearing the words of the Great Sage Goddess, the male disciples all showed expressions of envy.
If they could cultivate with the Divine Maiden and the Great Sage, the effect on their strength would be extraordinary.
Ye Ning, however, remained calm, shook his head, and said, "I am not interested in joint cultivation."
The Immortal-Slaying Blade laughed in Ye Ning's heart: "Does this guy even believe what he says?"
