Chapter 255.2 - I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory

The two found a restaurant, reserved a private room, ordered some dishes and wine, and then began to exchange information while eating.

“Now, what would you like to ask? Just go ahead,” Yaoyao said while enjoying her meal.

“Regarding that senior…”

Mo Yuyan’s eyes looked forward as she slowly began, “I don’t even know his surname or given name, let alone what he looks like! All I know is that he is skilled in swordsmanship and should be a Grandmaster of the sword path!”

Yaoyao frowned, “There are quite a few Grandmasters skilled in swordsmanship. To my knowledge, there are more than 40. The range is too broad!”

Mo Yuyan added, “He teaches disciples and has already trained one Grandmaster, with another on the verge of becoming a Grandmaster!”

Yaoyao lifted her head in shock, “A Grandmaster who has trained another Grandmaster? Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”

“Yes! Is there such a person?” Mo Yuyan became anxious.

This was the most crucial piece of information about that senior.

Yaoyao put down her chopsticks and said earnestly, “Honestly, a Grandmaster who can train another Grandmaster is among the strongest even within Grandmasters! But as far as I know, there isn’t a single Grandmaster who meets this criterion!”

“That can’t be right!” Mo Yuyan insisted, believing that the senior wouldn’t deceive her.

“It’s really unlikely for a Grandmaster to train another Grandmaster!”

Yaoyao continued, “Because each Grandmaster’s path is unique and cannot be replicated! Grandmasters are powerful, but their insights are still limited, making it very difficult to cultivate another Grandmaster! In our Demon Sect’s records, going back 5000 years, the instances of a Grandmaster training another Grandmaster are extremely rare! Unless…”

“Unless what?” Mo Yuyan pressed for an answer.

“Unless it’s a Great Grandmaster!”

“What?” Mo Yuyan’s eyes widened.

Yaoyao explained, “It’s very difficult for a Grandmaster to train another Grandmaster, but it’s not so hard for a Great Grandmaster to train a Grandmaster! Because a Great Grandmaster has traveled further on the martial path, sees higher, and understands more deeply, they can guide others in their cultivation!”

“For example, our Demon Sect’s Great Grandmaster has trained two Grandmasters! And the Great Grandmasters of the Taoist Sect, Buddhist Sect, and the other four top-tier Empires have also successfully trained one or two Grandmasters!”

“So, are you sure you’re looking for a Grandmaster, not a Great Grandmaster?”

Mo Yuyan was completely stunned.

Upon reflection, she realized that the senior had never actually revealed his strength. It was just her own assumption.

She had never dared to consider the possibility of a Great Grandmaster because it was too intimidating. It was beyond her imagination.

Could it be that the senior she was looking for was actually a Great Grandmaster?

Mo Yuyan felt both joy and shock.

Joy because she seemed closer to knowing the senior’s identity.

She was shocked because she realized the gap between her and the senior had widened, as vast as the difference between heaven and an abyss.

“Then, how many Great Grandmasters currently fit this profile?” Mo Yuyan asked nervously.

“Firstly, disciples of the Buddhist Sect hardly practice swordsmanship, so that Great Grandmaster is definitely not the one, ruled out! Our Demon Sect’s Great Grandmaster is a knife enthusiast, naturally averse to swords, also ruled out! The Taoist Sect’s Great Grandmaster practices swordsmanship, and among the four top-tier Empires, two wield swords! There’s also one who doesn’t belong to any power and is currently like a cloud or a wild crane (Free-spirited), whereabouts unknown. His studies are more varied, and his swordsmanship isn’t particularly outstanding!”

Yaoyao looked up and asked, “So, there are a total of three who currently fit the bill! Does he have any other distinguishing features?”

“He seems to enjoy playing in the mortal world, is quite handsome and dashing, and in recent years, he has married several young and beautiful women…”

Yaoyao was shocked, “Isn’t that a case of the old people acting shamelessly?”

Mo Yuyan glared, “You mustn’t speak like that!”

Yaoyao retorted, unconvinced, “Why not? Among the eight Great Grandmasters of the world, the youngest is over 150 years old. If that’s not acting shamelessly, what is?”

“Think whatever you want, but in my eyes, he’s not!” Mo Yuyan stubbornly replied.

“Alright, the Taoist Sect’s Great Grandmaster can be ruled out with that condition! He practices The Supreme Way of Forgetting Emotions and has never had a woman in his life! Besides that, does he have any other characteristics?”

“He currently has no offspring…”

“Then there’s no one left!”

Yaoyao spread her hands, “The two from the Empires have descendants numbering over a thousand each, definitely not the person you’re describing!”

“Then who could it be?” Mo Yuyan’s expression turned to one of worry.

After all this questioning, she was back to square one.

Was finding one person really this difficult?

At that moment, Yaoyao extended an invitation, “Anyway, Lady Mo, you’ve now offended the Taoist Sect, whose influence covers the world, reaching the heavens and penetrating the earth, making it easy for them to target you! Why not join our Demon Sect? We can ensure your safety!”

This was the real reason why Yaoyao came to seek out Mo Yuyan.

Without a second thought, Mo Yuyan refused: “Thank you for your kind offer, but I’m used to being on my own and have no plans to join any factions, I’m sorry!”

Yaoyao smiled: “No worries. Just know that the doors of the Demon Sect will always be open for you!”

…….

Three days passed, and Mo Yuyan continued to learn the way of the sword from the Sword Elder.

Finally feeling that she had learned enough, she decided it was time to leave.

After saying goodbye to Lin Beifan and the others, she returned to the White Tiger Mountain Range.

The first thing she did upon her return was to call out softly, “Senior, are you there?”

“I’m here!” The familiar voice came floating through the air.

“Senior, during my time away from the mountain…”

Mo Yuyan reported in detail everything that had happened since she left, even the part about going to Great Xia to practice swordsmanship with the Sword Elder.

“Not bad. I can see you’ve made quite a bit of progress!” The voice was filled with satisfaction.

“Senior, there’s something I don’t understand and I was hoping to ask you,” Mo Yuyan said respectfully.

“Ask whatever you want!”

“Senior, I’ve always been curious about the level of your cultivation. Could you tell me?” Mo Yuyan asked expectantly.

The voice came without hesitation: “No!”

Mo Yuyan: “…”

Mo Yuyan persisted, “Senior, you’ve shared so much with me in the past, why can’t you share this?”

“You said it yourself, that was in the past! I’ve changed now; I’m no longer who I used to be!”

Mo Yuyan was very helpless; her senior was becoming more and more mischievous!

“Alright, enough chit-chat, go and practice!” the senior’s voice came again.

“Yes, Senior!” Mo Yuyan replied helplessly.
