The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2318 Human World Situation

After listening to Matthew's words, Wang Maoxue felt a little more at ease.

His originally tense nerves relaxed slightly, as if a huge rock pressing on his chest was gently removed.

He did not doubt what Matthew said.

He had also met monks like Matthew who had just come out after seclusion and hard practice.

Those monks often don't care about worldly affairs, and are wholeheartedly pursuing the great way, with their cultivation being unfathomable.

Wang Maoxue even felt a little excited. If he could get close to the master in front of him, it might be a great opportunity for Qingyun Mountain.

Thinking of this, his heartbeat quickened a bit, as if he saw the glorious future of Qingyun Mountain.

Wang Maoxue took a deep breath and kept organizing what he was going to say next in his mind.

He knew that an ascetic like Matthew didn't like to hear too many irrelevant things, so he had to keep things simple and clear without missing out on important details.

He wondered inwardly how to clearly convey to Matthew the tremendous changes that had taken place over the past few decades in the shortest possible time.

Matthew did not urge Wang Maoxue, he just sat there quietly.

His expression was calm, as if nothing in the world could disturb his mood.

He didn't wait too long, just a short while, and then Wang Maoxue spoke.

"It has been seventy to eighty years since the demons suddenly appeared."

Wang Maoxue's tone was low and a little heavy.

He paused, as if recalling those dark years.

"When the demons first came, the human world was in chaos, countless sects were destroyed, and countless lives were lost. The human race was once in despair. Facing the powerful force of the demons, we had almost no power to fight back."

Wang Maoxue's gaze became profound, as if he had penetrated time and returned to that turbulent era.

"However, the human race did not give in. After decades of struggle and resistance, we finally calmed down from the original panic. Although the demons are still rampant in the human world today, the human race has completely found a way to fight them."

Speaking of this, Wang Maoxue's tone showed a hint of firmness and pride.

He secretly observed Matthew's expression and saw that there was no impatience on Matthew's face. Instead, he was listening very attentively. He couldn't help but feel relieved.

He knew that these were exactly what Matthew wanted to know.

"Now, under the leadership of the God-Slaying Temple, the human race has the ability to confront the demons head-on."

Wang Maoxue's tone was full of respect, and when he mentioned the three words "Tushen Temple", his voice unconsciously rose a little.

"This God-Slaying Temple is also a magical existence. Before the outbreak of the Demonic Tribulation, we had never heard of this force. They seemed to have risen overnight and became the light of hope for the human race."

There was a gleam of admiration in Wang Maoxue's eyes, as if he was telling a legend.

"The God-Slaying Temple not only rushed to the front line to resist the demons, but also provided a large amount of resources to support small sects like us. Their appearance completely changed the fate of the human race."

He paused, as if to organize his thoughts, and then continued: "Our sect had originally been destroyed by the demons."

At this point, Wang Maoxue's tone became low and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.

"It was a fierce battle. The demon army surged in like a tide, and the mountain protection formation of Qingyun Mountain was breached in just a few hours. The disciples in the sect suffered heavy casualties. The elders fought desperately, but still could not save the situation. In the end, Qingyun Mountain fell, and almost everyone in the sect was slaughtered."

Wang Maoxue's fists clenched unconsciously, and his knuckles turned white.

That memory still haunts him like a nightmare.

"I managed to escape with some of my juniors and wandered around looking for a shelter. However, the demons were everywhere in the human world, and we had nowhere to escape. Just when we were almost in despair, the God-Slaying Temple appeared."

When mentioning the Tushen Temple, Wang Maoxue's expression became excited again.

"The Tushen Temple not only accepted us, but also provided us with a shelter. Not only did they give us the resources to practice, they also helped us retake Qingyun Mountain."

Speaking of this, Wang Maoxue's tone was full of gratitude and admiration.

"If there was no God-Slaying Temple, Qingyun Mountain would have become history long ago, and I and others would have died at the hands of the demons long ago."

Tears welled up in Wang Maoxue's eyes and his voice trembled slightly.

"The kindness of the Tushen Temple will be forever unforgettable to everyone in Qingyun Mountain. They are not only the protectors of our human race, but also the reborn parents of our small sects."

Matthew listened quietly, his expression remained calm, but a hint of thought flashed in his eyes.

He did not interrupt Wang Maoxue, but just nodded slightly, indicating that he should continue.

Wang Maoxue took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and continued: "The rise of the Slaughter God Temple is not only because of their powerful strength, but more importantly, their selflessness and dedication. They never ask us for anything in return, but just silently contribute to the human race. Their existence gives us hope and rekindles our courage to fight against the demons."

"Now, the God-Slaying Temple has become a symbol of the human race. Almost all human cultivators are proud to join the God-Slaying Temple. Their leader is called the 'God-Slaying Venerable'. It is said that his cultivation is unfathomable. Although I have never seen him, the legend about him has long been spread throughout the human world."

Wang Maoxue's tone was full of awe and worship, as if he was talking about a god-like existence.

"The God-Slayer Venerable not only has a profound cultivation, but also has extraordinary wisdom. He formulated a detailed strategy and led the human race to fight back against the demons step by step and regain lost territory. Today, the human race is no longer a lamb to be slaughtered, but a powerful force that can confront the demons head-on."

At this point, a glimmer of hope flashed in Wang Maoxue's eyes.

"Although the threat from the demons still exists, we believe that under the leadership of the God-Slaying Temple, the human race will eventually achieve victory."

After listening to Wang Maoxue's story, Matthew's expression remained calm, but there was a hint of depth in his eyes.

He spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful: "The God-Slaughtering Temple... is quite interesting."

When Wang Maoxue heard Matthew's words, he couldn't help but feel happy.

He knew that what he had just said had aroused the interest of this master.

Perhaps, this is the opportunity for Qingyun Mountain to establish a relationship with this master.

He said respectfully: "Senior, if you are interested, I can introduce you to the messengers of the Tushen Temple. They come to Qingyun Mountain for inspection every once in a while and bring us some cultivation resources."

Matthew nodded slightly, without saying much, and said lightly: "Let's not talk about this for now, you continue, besides the Tu Shen Temple, are there no other forces in the human world?"
