Ancient Godly Monarch
chapter-1297

Bujie was from the Askheart Temple, given how much his two senior brothers doted on him, even to the extent of acting like a protector for him, one could see how high Bujie's status was in the Askheart Temple.

However, this smelly monk simply doesn't want any face. He had no aura like an eminent monk at all. Right now, he seemed to be pursuing the devil path and didn't seem like he would return at all.

Qin Wentian was musing whether this was the fortune of the devil hall, or a calamity for the devil hall.

That devil king who was referred by Bujie as senior brother glanced below at the injured devil experts who tried to block Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian actually fought his way up, he is much more imposing compared to this junior brother of his.

Back then when Bujie ascended the mountain, how would he dare to tell people that he is a cultivator of the buddhist path? On his way up, he politely greeted everyone, causing everyone to feel that he is very obedient devil cultivator with a gentle personality.

"You also cultivate the buddha path?" That devil king glanced at Qin Wentian, his eyes gleaming with light, causing Qin Wentian to shiver. Why did this devil king seem so interested in buddhist cultivators? Buddha and devil were two concepts that were directly opposite to each other, yet this devil king didn't seemed to mind at all?

"Nope." Qin Wentian shook his head.

"Ah, that's a pity then. But then again given how much junior brother Bujie has praised you, why don't you head to the Myriad Ancient Devil Hall?" That devil king issued an invite to Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian didn't expect that it would be so hard to ascend the mountain, yet so easy to enter a devil hall.

"The Myriad Ancient Devil Hall studies the cultivation of ancient devils. Why do you all want to recruit an immortal cultivator?" Yulong Shengtu came over on his dragon as he coldly asked.

"The matters of my Myriad Ancient Devil Hall, who are you to probe?" That devil king turned and faced Yulong Shengtu, his gaze akin to an ancient devil causing the dragon Yulong Shengtu was riding to roar with fear.

"Hmph." Yulong Shengtu didn't know what to say. There wasn't too much interference between devil halls, and this was especially so for the mysterious Myriad Ancient Devil Hall. They had always been a weird bunch.

"I've never seen someone as busybody as you before." Qin Wentian shook his head. He then spoke to the devil king, "Junior will seriously consider senior's recommendation."

As he spoke, he transmitted his voice to Bujie, "Why did you ascend the Devil Mountain? Did someone ask you to come here?"

"Mhm, I was keeping a low profile in the Fallen Devil Region and I met a mysterious white-robed young man telling me to come up the Devil Mountain."

Qin Wentian's gaze froze, that mysterious young man actually managed to find Bujie. In that case, it was possible that he could find all the peak-level geniuses here who came from the immortal realms. Wasn't that mysterious fellow a little too terrifying?

Lifting his head, Qin Wentian spoke to Yulong Shengtu. "That day the person who asked me to come here and drove you away, should be a cultivator of the Devil Mountain right. Which devil hall is he from?"

Yulong Shengtu's expression turned cold when he thought of that person. That bastard, if it wasn't for him, he would already have gotten his soldiers to finish off Qin Wentian. How would Qin Wentian still be alive to climb up the Devil Mountain?

Seeing that Yulong Shengtu was keeping quiet, he used his immortal sense to form a projection. He then turned to the devil king and asked, "Senior, this is the person who asked me to come up here."

"Oh." The eyes of that devil king narrowed. He then replied, "He is someone from the Apostle Devil Hall."

"Apostle Devil Hall?" Qin Wentian's eyes flickered.

"Yes. The Apostle Devil Hall. The people of this devil hall are all named apostles. The white-robed man you met was one of them. He should have gone down the mountain to roam the islands." That devil king spoke. These immortal cultivators were actually invited here by that apostle. How interesting.

However this was fine as well, since an apostle invited them, there shouldn't be any problems with allowing them to join a devil hall.

As someone from the Myriad Ancient Devil Hall, they had absolute faith in the Myriad Devil Sovereign. Since these people passed the test on the way up here, they had no suspicions at all.

So what if they were immortal cultivators or buddhist-path cultivators? He had never met someone who was so suitable for the inheritance of their devil hall like Bujie before.

"The Apostle Devil Hall is one of the toughest hall to enter, they don't actively recruit members and even if you knelt down outside just like those descendants of devil emperors, it would be useless. They would only recruit someone when they wish to do so." That devil king continued.

"What other devil halls are there?" Qin Wentian pointed upwards as he asked.

"Apostle Devil Hall, Myriad Ancient Devil Hall, Imperial Dragon Devil Hall, Sky Devil Hall, Judiciary Devil Hall, Darkness Devil Hall and the Saint Devil Hall." That devil king spoke, there were a total of seven supreme devil halls.

"Judiciary Devil Hall?" Qin Wentian's eyes flickered with sharpness. In the past when he was in the sacred academy, he seemed to have encountered people from the Judiciary Devil Hall before.

"Why? You wish to join there?" That devil king stared at Qin Wentian. "Let me urge you to give up. The Judiciary Devil Hall and Apostle Devil Hall are the same, they don't actively recruit members. Only those suited for their hall's inheritance would be recruited. Naturally, if you sought to join as a guard for these halls, you might have a chance."

"Which devil hall is the strongest?" Qin Wentian curiously asked.

"The Saint Devil Hall is the devil hall created by the Myriad Devil Sovereign, it's a place of faith. When the Devil Mountain was established, there were only three other devil halls supporting the Saint Devil Hall. The other three are the Apostle, Judiciary and Darkness Devil Halls." The devil king slowly spoke. "The apostles of the Apostle Devil Hall spread faith all around the Myriad Devil Islands, they can be considered envoys of the Devil Mountain. Judiciary Devil Hall are those who judge, they are in charge of all punishment, and nobody would dare not to comply. Darkness Devil Hall's experts are hidden in the shadow, they live and breath in the shadows, collecting information and making their plans there."

"As time flowed by, many experts of the Devil Mountain all died. The blue sea turned into mulberry fields and there were many transformations to the Devil Mountain. Our Myriad Ancient Devil Hall was born because we sought to preserve some of the glory of our Devil Mountain's ancestors, keeping the inheritance of ancient devil experts, making us one of the most important devil halls here on the Devil Mountain. The Imperial Dragon Devil Hall rides dragons of darkness, taking the role of patrolling around the Myriad Devil Islands, and their chosen are named the Imperial Dragon Saints. They are somewhat similar to apostles, but their hall was elevated in status due to the appearance of a powerful expert from there. They used to be vassals of the Apostle Devil Hall but after the supreme expert appeared, they stood as an independent power. The Sky Devil Hall also produced a supreme expert and became one of the devil halls at the peak of the Devil Mountain.

Qin Wentian quietly listened, he faintly understood the composition of the devil mountain from the words explained. The Saint Devil Hall was undoubtedly the place of faith, the residence of the Myriad Devil Sovereign.

The Apostle, Judiciary and Darkness Devil Halls are orthodox devil halls and already existed when the Devil Mountain was established. Their statuses were extremely high, and since the Apostle and Judiciary Halls don't actively recruit members, the Darkness Devil Hall should be the same as well.

The Myriad Ancient Devil Hall was an extremely ancient devil hall. Their mission was to pass down the inheritance of ancient supreme devil experts to suitable candidates. This was a pretty unique hall and just so as fate would have it, that monk Bujie was extremely suited and might even inherit the position of master of this hall.

As for the Imperial Dragon Devil Hall and Sky Devil Hall, they were created due to the existence of supreme experts. If a devil emperor was born in the thousands of devil halls in the places of the mountain below the peak, the status of that devil hall would rise exponentially and even have a chance to be relocated at the peak of the Devil Mountain.

However, the Myriad Devil Islands and Devil Mountain have already existed for so long but during this time, only two devil halls have managed to elevate themselves up. One could very well imagine how high the difficulty of doing so was.

"Senior I wish to take a look at the other halls." Qin Wentian spoke to the devil king. After the test of ascending the mountain, his perspective towards immortals and devils was insipid. Regardless of the immortal realms of Myriad Devil Island, the base of all cultivators are the same, it was just the cultivation arts they practiced were different. One could become an immortal with a thought, or a devil with another thought. An example was the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, he was an immortal emperor that was widely respected everywhere in the thirteen prefectures but didn't he also chose to start a war in a particle world, incurring countless deaths of innocent lives?

Qin Wentian was now very curious with regards to the devil halls here.

"Might as well, you can go take a look." The devil king spoke to Qin Wentian.

"You don't want to accompany me to the Myriad Ancient Devil Hall to cultivate?" Bujie asked. "The Myriad Ancient Devil Hall has many inheritance arts, you might even be able to gain the power of ancient devils and we are the strongest devil hall here at the peak of the mountain. It would truly be a pity if you don't come with us."

The devil king expert from the Myriad Ancient Devil Hall felt extremely enjoyable when he heard Bujie's words. "Junior brother's words do make sense."

Qin Wentian was already numb to Bujie's shamelessness. He spoke, "Let me take a look first before I consider. In addition, given how high the status of your hall is, my talent might not be enough to gain recognition."

"Brother Qin, at the very least you can be considered to have a good judgement of your own abilities. After all, not everyone is as outstanding as me." Bujie patted Qin Wentian on his shoulders in a consoling manner.

"Thick-skin and shameless." Yulong Shengtu who was in the air couldn't help but coldly speak. He couldn't stand the sight of the two of them.

"No wonder you are so afraid of that white-robed young man back then. So it turns out that this is the case." Qin Wentian glanced at Yulong Shengtu before he lifted his foot and continued upwards. The experts of the Imperial Dragon Devil Hall all stiffened as their eyes gleamed with sharpness.

Qin Wentian continued up the path, finally reaching the very peak. As he saw the majestic halls on the way, reverence actually appeared in his heart, the reverence towards the Myriad Devil Sovereign.

Establishing the Myriad Devil Islands, causing the Devil Mountain to become the place of belief for the entire devil world. As long as the devil mountain gave a command, they could control every devil practitioner here. Such faith was simply too terrifying.

Qin Wentian saw several devil cultivators outside the halls. There were some who bowed, some who even knelt down in worship, hoping to be able to enter.

"That place is the Imperial Dragon Devil Hall." Bujie pointed to a devil hall in the distance.

"Given the character of the Imperial Dragon Saint, let's just forget about this devil hall." Qin Wentian shook his head. The eyes of Yulong Shengtu flashed with killing intent. He wanted to see how Qin Wentian would be rejected.

There would be no devil halls that would accept an immortal cultivator.

Even if Qin Wentian ascended the Devil Mountain, he wouldn't be able to gain admittance to any of the devil halls here!
