　　Thousands of miles away.
　　The　Western　Desert.
　　In the vast and boundless desert, there exists an ancient and mysterious area of three thousand ancient temples.
　　These temples have withstood the tests of thousands of years and stand quietly in the desert, as if telling one ancient legend after another.
　　Looking up, one can see that in the very center of the three thousand ancient temples, there is a ten-thousand-zhang-high mountain.
　　This mountain is called Lingshan.
　　On the top of Lingshan, there stands an ancient temple.
　　This ancient temple has a total of eighteen floors, each floor is more than four zhang high, with a unique shape and extraordinary momentum.
　　The walls of the temple are carved with exquisite patterns, magnificent and resplendent with gold and jade.
　　At the very top of the ancient temple, there is a horizontal plaque hanging, with four golden seal script characters engraved on it.
　　Great　Thunderclap　Monastery！
　　This is the holy land of the Western Desert Buddhist Sect！
　　At this time, at the entrance of the Great Thunderclap Sound Temple, there stood an old monk and a young monk.
　　The old monk’s face was dark and his body was thin, as if he was a stone sculpture carved in the desert.
　　The wrinkles on his face were deep, like the marks left by the years on the yellow sand, and his eyes were deep and bright, like the starry night sky, revealing a kind of wisdom that could see through everything in the world.
　　His posture was straight, like a poplar tree standing tall in the sand dunes. Even under the attack of the wind and sand, he always maintained his tenacity.
　　Beside the old monk was a very handsome young monk.
　　If Ye Qiu were here, he could recognize at a glance that this young monk was his enemy——
　　The Buddha son of the Great Thunderclap Sound Temple, Wuhua！
　　“The first on the Hidden Dragon List！”
　　“The talent of an emperor！”
　　“Hmph！”
Wuhua stared at the Heaven and Earth Bell and snorted coldly, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
The old monk said Youyou: “No wonder you suffered a loss at the hands of Ye Changsheng and almost lost your life. This kid has the fortune of the Demon Race and half of the fortune of the human race. It’s not unjust to lose to him.”
　　Wuhua said： “Master, Ye Changsheng has the talent of an emperor, and I have a feud with him. I’m afraid that in the future, he will become a threat to our Great Thunderclap Sound Temple.”
　　This old monk was Wuhua’s master, the abbot of the Great Thunderclap Temple – the Holy Monk of Lingshan！
The Holy Monk of Lingshan smiled faintly and said disdainful ly: “Only those who succeed in proving the Dao can be called emperors.”
　　”Since ancient times, there have been not a few people with the talent of becoming emperors, but in the end, how many of them succeeded？ Most of them died on the way to becoming emperors.”
　　”However, this Ye Changsheng is different！”
　　The old monk said： “His luck is thick, and he is also the Eternal Longevity Body. If he is not strangled, there is really a possibility of proving the Dao and becoming an emperor in the future.”
　　”If he becomes a strong emperor, it will indeed not be a good thing for us.”
　　Wuhua lowered his head and sighed： “Unfortunately, the disciple suffered a loss in the hands of Ye Changsheng and lost all his cultivation. Fortunately, with the help of the master, otherwise, I am afraid that my life would have been gone long ago.”
　　”I’m sorry, master. It’s the disciple’s incompetence.”
The Holy Monk of Lingshan reached out and touched Wuhua’s bald head and said kindly: Disciple, losing cultivation is not terrifying. The terrible thing is losing confidence.
　　”Let me ask you, if there is a chance to restore your cultivation, would you still dare to compete with Ye Changsheng？”
　　”Dare！” Wuhua said： “Not only do I dare to compete with him, but I also want to kill him.”
　　”Very good.” The Holy Monk of Lingshan said： “Tomorrow you will go to the Scripture Depository Pavilion, and the master will help you restore your cultivation.”
　　”Not only that, but I will also teach you the great supernatural powers of the Great Thunderclap Temple.”
　　“When you have achieved success in your cultivation, go and kill Ye Changsheng.”
　　In the voice of the Holy Monk of Lingshan, there was no Buddhist nature at all, and it was full of killing intent.
　　“Thank　you,　Master！”
　　Hearing this, Wuhua was overjoyed and quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
　　……
　　Central Continent.
　　The Great Zhou Dynasty.
　　There is a hidden imperial palace deep in the imperial palace.
　　This imperial palace is a forbidden area of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and only the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty in all dynasties are qualified to enter it.
　　At this time, in the garden of this imperial palace, two people were standing.
　　One is King Wu of Zhou.
　　The other is the current emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
　　The age of the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty seemed to be about the same as that of Yunshan. His face was round and a little plump. He wore a golden crown, a gorgeous dragon robe, and a jade belt around his waist.
　　Both of them were staring at the Heaven and Earth Clock in the void.
　　“Ye Changsheng？ This name is a bit familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere.” said the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
　　“You heard me mention it.” said King Wu of Zhou. “If it weren’t for this kid, I would still be in the Burial Dragon Nest.”
　　The emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty smiled and said, “In that case, this Ye Changsheng is your savior？”
　　“If you put it that way, he is also the benefactor of our Great Zhou Dynasty.”
　　“I will send someone to invite him to come to the Great Zhou Dynasty as a guest. I want to thank him well.”
　　King Wu of Zhou said, “Thank him my ass! I have already taught him the skill of One Qi Transforming into Three Pure Ones.”
　　”And that stinky Taoist beside him, yes, the second place on the Hidden Dragon List, that guy named Long Eyebrow True Man, took the opportunity to blackmail and took away the imperial weapon that suppresses our Great Zhou Dynasty from me.”
　　”Still want me to thank him？ Humph, no way！”
The Great Zhou Emperor said, “A drop of water should be repaid with a gushing spring, not to mention a life-saving grace? Later I must send someone to invite Ye Changsheng and must thank him.”
　　King Wu of Zhou looked at the Great Zhou Emperor and said, “Thanking him is false, befriending him is true, right？”
　　”No.” The Great Zhou Emperor said, “Both thanking and befriending. Ye Changsheng has the potential of a Great Emperor. If we can establish a friendship with him now, when he proves the Tao and becomes an Emperor in the future, then our Great Zhou Dynasty can be glorious forever.”
　　King Wu of Zhou said, “Have you ever thought about it? Ye Changsheng has reached the top of the Hidden Dragon List, and his information has been leaked. Next, he will have a lot of troubles, and even many people want to put him to death.”
　　”If you befriend him, will it bring trouble to our Great Zhou Dynasty？”
　　The Great Zhou Emperor smiled and said, “I have considered all these.”
　　”Leaving aside that Ye Changsheng has the Qingyun Sword Sect behind him, even if he doesn’t, I still want to befriend him.”
　　”As for troubles, hehe, haven’t we encountered few troubles over the years？”
　　”Moreover, now that you are back and with you sitting here, I am not afraid of anything.”
While Ye Changsheng hasn’t completely grown up yet, and since you have a bit of friendship with him we should further strengthen our relationship with him and wish him to soar into the sky.”
　　“As long as he succeeds, then we will obtain huge benefits in the future！”
　　Emperor Wu of Zhou looked at the Great Zhou Emperor and stared at him for a full ten seconds before saying, “You are more suitable to be the emperor than me！”
　　“Do whatever you want to do without any scruples.”
　　“I will always stand behind you and support you.”
　　“Thank you.” The Great Zhou Emperor said gratefully.
　　Emperor Wu of Zhou said, “Where is Wu Qianfan？”
　　The Great Zhou Emperor replied, “I have already put him into the Heavenly Prison according to your instructions.”
　　Emperor Wu of Zhou was stunned： “Put him into the Heavenly Prison？”
　　“Didn’t I ask you to teach him a lesson？ Why did you put him into the Heavenly Prison？ Quickly release him.”
　　“This kid is Ye Changsheng’s servant, and they have a close relationship. It is most appropriate to let him go and invite Ye Changsheng to the Great Zhou.”
　　“By the way, do you have many daughters？”
　　Emperor Wu of Zhou said, “Find the ugliest one and marry her to Ye Changsheng.”
