Chapter 522: Chapter 470: A Guest Comes to Dragon Tiger Mountain
Although Pei Xuanjing didn’t care much about the present Shenxiao Sect, it didn’t mean he was willing to tolerate all actions. Since he had encountered them, he naturally had to respond. This time he chose to punish a few to warn the many, informing them that they shouldn’t get too clever. There were things they could do, but also things they shouldn’t do. He believed that they would wake up shocked after this incident.
Deng Zhong, who had been chastised by Pei Xuanjing, walked out with mixed feelings. This time, there were gains and losses. Although he lost the place in the upper court and had to appease his subordinates, he acquired the technique of Innate Thunder Gang Qi. Whether he won or lost, nobody knew except him.
As Pei Xuanjing had mentioned, Deng Zhong became cautious after the scolding. When he left the Taoist temple and faced Daoist Xuanming, he quickly shared the result and asked to leave.
Even the gift that Daoist Xuanming wanted to give him in gratitude, he firmly refused and hurriedly left without accepting it.
Daoist Xuanming thought Deng Zhong’s attitude was strange, but he didn’t give it much thought. He assumed that Pei Xuanjing had arranged an important task for Deng, and that’s why he had been eager to leave.
As Deng Zhong predicted, Daoist Xuanming felt an increased liking for Pei Xuanjing and the Shenxiao Sect because of this matter, and actively sided with Pei Xuanjing.
In the following days, Pei Xuanjing was still in seclusion. Apart from refining the Taoist Academy and the research of trying to condense the Golden Core, he added another task, studying how to let the fake grandmasters who didn’t condense the Martial Arts Truth to promote to the third-grade could make up for their foundations, improve the speed of cultivation and reduce the gap.
Without a doubt, it was a difficult task. After all, the development of martial arts had already peaked in the thousands of years after the Tang Dynasty, and no one had solved this problem, which showed its difficulty.
Of course, with difficulty comes rich rewards. If Pei Xuanjing really solved this problem, that means his understanding of cultivation was profound, and with this alone, he would gain the faith and Power of Incense Fire from countless martial artists, as long as martial arts exist, the incense will not cease.
While Pei Xuanjing was researching how to solve the problem of fake grandmasters, a few guests arrived on Dragon Tiger Mountain.
The Dragon Tiger Mountain, which had stood firm for tens of millions of years and carried the lineage of the Dragon Tiger Mountain for thousands of years, not only was a Taoist holy land but also held the highest position in the entire world of martial arts.
During these countless years, apart from when Pei Xuanjing reached Dragon Tiger Mountain to challenge the old Celestial Master about a dozen years ago, no one dared to undermine its prestige.
The battle between Pei Xuanjing, whose fame rose with the fight on Dragon Tiger Mountain, and the old Celestial Master who shook the world, also established Pei Xuanjing’s reputation and became one of the many anecdotes about him.
Although Pei Xuanjing’s fame had massively erupted during his fight with the old Celestial Master on Dragon Tiger Mountain, the reputation of Dragon Tiger Mountain, which served as a backdrop, did not decrease at all. Instead, as Pei Xuanjing became stronger, the strength of Dragon Tiger Mountain also rose with the tide.
Even before the Great Ming Empire’s promotion to a Divine Dynasty, the old Celestial Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain was considered by many to be the second strongest after Pei Xuanjing.
After the Great Ming Divine Dynasty’s promotion, the old Celestial Master returned to seclusion in Dragon Tiger Mountain after discussing the enfeoffment of the divine position, leaving all affairs to Yu Yangzi.
“Dare I ask who you are and why you have come?” Yu Yangzi looked at the people in front of him and spoke in a solemn voice.
He did not think much of it when he heard from disciples that some people had come to pay their respects to the mountain. Over the years, countless people had come to Dragon Tiger Mountain to pay their respects, some to learn, some to seek guidance, countless.
But the piece of paper brought by the people in front of him had nothing written on it, only an imprint of the Zhengyi Seal.
The Zhengyi Seal, this is the treasure of the Dragon Tiger Mountain lineage, second only to the Yin-Yang Evil-Slaying Treasure Sword, and the Yangping Zhidu Gong seal.
Originally they thought that these treasures had been lost or destroyed in the great calamity, but since they learned that the Sky Wasteland still had the existence of the Dragon Tiger Mountain lineage, they knew that these treasures must have been taken to the Tianhuang.
Given the paper brought by these people, how could Yu Yangzi not treat them seriously?
There were three people in the group, led by an old man who looked about sixty, wearing a robe with the Eight Trigrams design, followed by two youths in their twenties.
“We would like to see the current Celestial Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain,” the old man said kindly.
Hearing that the other party wanted to see the current Celestial Master, Yu Yangzi said, “I am the current Celestial Master. Feel free to speak if you have anything.”
Before the promotion to founding a Divine Dynasty, the old Celestial Master had already passed on the position of the Celestial Master to him. However, a succession ceremony had not been held because he had just broken through to the Spirit Realm. Therefore, Yu Yangzi wanted to wait for a period of strenuous cultivation, then hold it after breaking through to the Spirit Realm Second Layer.
After all, in the current world, the weakest leaders of various forces are at least in the Spirit Realm Second Layer, and some have even taken advantage of the promotion of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty to break through to the Spirit Realm Third Level. His Spirit Realm Onefold seemed a bit weak.
“I didn’t expect that the Dragon Tiger Mountain in the ancestral land has fallen so much. A mere Spirit Realm Onefold is actually qualified to succeed the contemporary Celestial Master’s position,” the youth sneered.
Seeing the attitude of the other party, Yu Yangzi couldn’t help feeling displeased, but he didn’t show it at all. He glanced at the old man, who remained silent, allowing the youth behind him to act.
He said solemnly, “Are you here to make trouble?” His tone was becoming unsatisfied.
Hearing Yu Yangzi’s words, the brows of the old man in the lead furrowed, and a flash of displeasure passed across his face. However, he did not speak, instead, one of the youths cocked an eyebrow and laughed, “Why pretend to be ignorant? Could the Zhengyi Seal be fake?”
Yu Yangzi’s face was unchanged. He slowly asked, “Are you returnees from the Sky Wasteland?”
Although it was an inquiry, he was almost sure of it.
“Correct!” The young man who had just spoken said arrogantly, “I suppose you already know our identity. With your strength, you have no right to know our purpose. I’ve heard that there is a former Celestial Master on this Dragon Tiger Mountain. Let him come out and speak!”
This young man’s arrogance was not concealed in the slightest, and he completely ignored Yu Yangzi. Even his attitude towards the old Celestial Master was as if he could be summoned at will.
However, the other two people, whether the old man in the lead or the other youth, said nothing, as if they agreed with him.
Even in the Sky Wasteland where strong people were like clouds, the Dragon Tiger Mountain lineage had the Ancestor Celestial Master, who was at the peak of the Nine Realms of Spirit, sitting in town, and was one of the top forces of the human race. The sect had countless masters and countless strong people.
Never mind how strong this old man was, just these two youths alone were at the Spirit Realm Third Level. Although they were not the true main lineage, they were also blood descendants of the Ancestor Celestial Master. How could they be condescending towards the side branches in the ancestral land lineage of Dragon Tiger Mountain.
