Chapter 16: Monstrous Transformations, Comparable to the Nation’s Master!
Returned to the room while holding Tushan Xue in his arms. Although her appearance was still the same as before, it was completely different this time. Zhang Beixuan could feel the warmth emanating from her body and sense her breath. This was undoubtedly the body of a human—a perfect one. It was even more enchanting than when she wore her bridal attire, now multiplied by ten.
Tushan Xue’s face blushed, and her neck was red like a beet. However, she didn’t resist.
“Husband! We... we haven’t had our wedding toast yet.”
As they finished the wine, Zhang Beixuan quietly took out his family’s heirloom, the golden hoop rod, which had been passed down for generations. The entire room quickly heated up. Tushan Xue was slightly shocked, still not comprehending what was happening. Her mouth gaped open wide.
“Watch the rod!”
As Zhang Beixuan went in and out seven times, back in the village below Dragon Tiger Mountain, the village chief and all the villagers were staring in the direction of the disappearing thunderclouds in the sky, their eyes wide open. Their hair stood on end, their bodies trembled, and their sweat beads formed one by one. Underneath the thunderclouds just moments ago, they had witnessed a golden light shooting into the sky, and they had all seen it. The final scene of the heavenly book ascending into the sky had left their heads buzzing.
The gigantic golden characters manifested in mid-air like miracles. Especially just now, they had faintly heard the voice of the Heavenly Master from the mountain. Under his command, the rolling dark clouds in the sky had all dissipated. They had never seen or even heard of such a sight before.
“Village chief, we’re not dreaming, are we?” One villager asked, his lips trembling. The other villagers had a surreal feeling as well.
Smack!
The village chief slapped the villager who had spoken across the face, and the villager immediately held his face in pain, letting out a cry.
“Village chief! Why did you hit me?”
“The Heavenly Master of the Orthodox Oneness, unparalleled in the Daoist world.”
Sss—
When these words were spoken, the entire room fell silent. The Ma family, a dragon clan, was also a well-known force in the cultivation world. They had many talented individuals within their ranks. However, to hear the elders of the Ma family speak so highly of this figure meant that it was no mere exaggeration.
A bureau member immediately said, “Deputy Team Leader, if this Heavenly Master is so formidable and hasn’t allied with any faction, why don’t we try to recruit him? If we could get the Heavenly Master to join our bureau, we wouldn’t need to worry about the opinions of those old monks at Pudu Temple when we take off.”
The eyes of others also lit up at the suggestion. But Xu Ming shook her head with a bitter smile.
“You guys are daydreaming. Do you even know who this person is? The Heavenly Master! He’s a Daoist Heavenly Master! If this were ancient times, figures like him would need an imperial decree from the emperor, and it would depend on his mood whether he’d come out of seclusion.”
“Moreover, they typically hold positions like the Director of the Qintian Observatory or even the National Teacher!” Xu Ming continued.
“Even emperors treat them with great deference and respect. These are individuals who can truly influence a nation’s situation.”
“Even if this Heavenly Master hasn’t grown to that level yet, who can say for sure? Are we going to try to recruit him? On what basis? Should I offer up my position as Deputy Team Leader? Would he even spare a glance at us? Or are you planning to ask the Bureau Chief to step down early? The Chief will twist your head off if you dare to suggest that.”
The team member who had spoken earlier opened his mouth but couldn’t speak. The other team members also smirked.
Asking the Chief to step down? Even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn’t dare suggest such a thing.
“Let it go. We don’t need to worry if that person continues to stay on the mountain. But if he descends from the mountain, we can make contact.”
