Como el último gran poder humano, Cuatro Vistas Espada era familiar con Wu Zhu y sabía a qué nivel se encontraba el templo. Por lo tanto, no compartía la reverencia que otros mortales sentían hacia esa entidad misteriosa.
Era un maestro, su fuerza era suficiente para competir con cualquier personaje del templo, así que cuando hablaba de él, su tono no era respetuoso. Más bien, había una mezcla de indiferencia y despreocupación.
La curiosidad es inherente en todos, incluso en maestros, especialmente en un maestro a punto de morir, quien mira el mundo con desapego pero mantiene un interés por el templo.
Finalmente, solo Shaoen y Kuahé habían visitado este templo, y ambos ancianos ya estaban muertos. Aunque Ye Qianmei y Wu Zhu provienen del templo, Ye Qianmei también había fallecido y Wu Zhu se había marchado a casa.
La historia secreta de la catedral celestial sigue siendo la mayor enigma del mundo. Cuatro Vistas Espada miró a Fan Yan con ojos tranquilos pero algo diferentes: sabía que el único que podía saber dónde se encontraba el templo era este joven."Lo supe de la boca de Sean, Five-Planks Uncle has always had trouble remembering surnames. I'm sure you know this," said Fan Xian in a soft voice. "The temple is located at the far north, beyond the Northern Qi's Heavenly Gate. You have to travel for several months through the snowy plains and frozen soil until you reach where there is a day-long night. If you're lucky, you might see a magnificent, solemn building of dark blue color. That... is the temple."
Four Gu Jian fell silent. Before death arrived, he finally knew the location of the temple. He seemed to have fulfilled his wish, and should be at peace; however, the thin body under the thick quilt emitted a faint air of melancholy.
"Originally, it's in the far north where there is no sunlight for an entire day. Could it possibly be the underworld?" Four Gu Jian's eyes, like ancient wells, gazed at the wrinkles on his old face as he sighed. "Indeed, not part of this world. My heart yearns for it, my heart yearns for it."
"Hmm..." Fan Xian squinted his eyes, looking at that withered face under the quilt. Suddenly, he noticed a growing radiance on that face. Could it be that knowing the location of the temple triggered some intense will in this dying master?
Fan Xian did not explain what polar day and night meant; these were concepts that didn't belong to this world, so there was no need to make people suffer by explaining them. Since Four Gu Jian was willing to believe the temple wasn't part of this world, such a perception might preserve his concept of the world.
"...My heart yearns for it," Four Gu Jian praised himself. "Back then, I thought that if matters on Daming Mountain could be resolved smoothly, I would travel far and wide to find the temple."
"Everyone has curiosity about unknown things." Fan Xian understood this emotion very well.
Four Gu Jian's eyelids narrowed, piercing the ceiling with his gaze as he said in a hoarse voice. "I just wanted to see if my sword could tear down that damn temple."
Tear down the temple!
Fan Xian was taken aback, feeling a myriad of emotions. He had thought Four Gu Jian would simply be like Kuhu Sean, willing to go to that temple beyond the sky out of curiosity for the unknown. He never expected this master to actually want to challenge the temple!
With his sword behind him, he walked across the snowy plain, met the green mountains, and entered thick gates. His sword pointed at the ethereal temple in the clouds, cutting down the people there.
What a majestic and heroic spirit! If matters on Daming Mountain had truly been resolved as Kuhu and Four Gu Jian planned, this world would have been in peace for three factions. Four Gu Jian might have grown weary of life here and walked the path of challenging fate. In this world, fate was naturally represented by the temple.
Thinking about that scene, even the calm Fan Xian couldn't help but feel a slight stir. He knew it had ended with the emperor's shao dao punch on Daming Mountain, and Four Gu Jian would never reach or point his sword at the temple in all of his life.
