Chapter 92

(First update of the day, please give recommendations and new readers, please follow the book.)

Wudang Tianzhu Mountain, Zhenwu Hall, Tianwu Zhenren!

A Yuan Shen Zhenren, who was reborn in the thunderstorm and attained the Dao in the true fire of the sun. Such a figure, when viewed across the martial world, is called a grandmaster.

Mount Tai, the leader of the Five Great Mountains, and the Big Dipper of the Northern Sky!

These are all outstanding figures who suppress a region and illuminate an era. The long river of history cannot erase the traces of their existence.

Tianwu Zhenren, an old man who looks somewhat stern, with white hair and beard, wearing a purple Taoist robe, and holding a purple jade duster, stepped down from the sky.

His steps were not fast, each step seemed to be on a staircase, and even under the watchful eyes of the crowd, there was an indescribable steadiness and calmness.

A generation of Yuan Shen figures, without overwhelming authority and momentum, instead made people feel like they were basking in a spring breeze, naturally evoking a sense of closeness, but not daring to be too close, as if they would ascend to immortality and drift away at any moment.

"I didn't expect that after many years, Tianwu Zhenren's 'Pure Yang Wuji Gong' has made further progress, truly unfathomable, truly unfathomable."

This was an elder from the Bagua School, his gaze solemn. Wudang's 'Pure Yang Wuji Gong' is famous throughout the world, being the supreme heart method of the Daoist Pure Yang. When cultivated to the deepest level, it can directly point to the Pure Yang Yuan Shen, making it one of the greatest counters to all impurities and demonic qi.

"Tianwu Shuzugong!"

In the distance, several figures gradually appeared, all Wudang disciples who had already arrived at the foot of Xuejia Mountain. Most came from various peaks and lineages, wearing pure white Taoist robes. There were fewer outer court disciples, and if there were, they were mostly the best among them, well-known in Shiyan Prefecture by various sects and families, already having a small reputation.

"Qinggan greets Shuzugong Ningwu."

A clear and bright voice echoed, not loud, but it penetrated through all the other voices, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

Immediately, a figure soared up, taking steps in mid-air, each step covering seventy to eighty feet, and after ten steps, he crossed several miles of empty space, arriving at the foot of Xuejia Mountain.

"The 'Heavenly Lion Step'!"

"Wudang Lion Peak, Qinggan Daoist of the Heavenly Sword!"

Many martial artists whispered, especially the younger generation, their eyes bright and filled with excitement, staring at the figure with a jade-like demeanor. This was one of the strongest eighty-one young talents of the current generation, a young hero on the Dragon Tiger List.

"Qinggan, now that you are here, you must restrain our Wudang disciples and avoid unnecessary conflicts. Our Wudang tradition is not inferior to others. The opportunities in Hong Qi's Yuan Shen world are all created by fate, and should not be forced or obsessed with."

Seeing Qinggan Daoist, Tianwu Zhenren's expression eased, and he said, "Tianwu" being his title, a Wudang Daoist name, his real name being Ningwu Zhenren of the Ning generation.

"Complying with Shuzugong Ningwu's command."

Qinggan smiled and said, "Disciple will certainly restrain all the fellow disciples of Wudang. External matters are not as important as one's own strength."

Nodding, Tianwu Zhenren turned around, and many elders from first-rate and second-rate sects in Shiyan Prefecture came forward to pay their respects.

Even as a Yuan Shen figure, Tianwu Zhenren occasionally spoke, and when someone asked for advice, he did not hesitate to offer guidance.

From a distance of several miles, Su Qignian watched this scene. With so many strong figures gathered, he did not easily activate the 'Mihun Dafa.' However, the voices of Tianwu Zhenren and Qinggan were still clear despite the distance, demonstrating extremely pure and refined power and precise control.

After a few moments of thought, Su Qignian did not choose to approach and pay respects. His current identity was very awkward, and he did not expect to gain recognition. What he needed to do now was to strive to improve his cultivation in the 'Turtle Snake Gong,' reach a higher realm, and finally lay the foundation, open the heavens, and establish his own achievements to convince everyone.

There was also the Qiankun Sword, with ulterior motives, manipulating various worldly affairs. He needed to reduce contact, otherwise, he would likely be restricted in various ways. Moreover, this person had some connections with the court, which Su Qignian was even more wary of. However, being in Wudang Mountain, the other party's various operations and years of accumulation were far beyond his reach. He could only lie low like a divine tortoise, slowly accumulating strength, hoping to awaken one day and break through all constraints, transcending them.

Soon, an hour passed.

The hole at the top of Xuejia Mountain had not healed, and the power of the Yuan Shen Zhenren purified everything. The demonic fog lingered several miles away, unable to gather.

The sun gradually set, and the light slanted westward. The local garrison of Shiyan Prefecture gathered, and by now, the number of people surrounding Xuejia Mountain was no less than ten thousand.

Su Qignian looked at the armored soldiers behind him, not all like the young officers, most wearing black rhinoceros leather armor. They held war spears, their expressions solemn, staring at the many martial artists like Su Qignian in front of them.

The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive, and Su Qignian noticed that many martial artists were somewhat uneasy. They carried weapons, had a fierce demeanor, and clearly were not law-abiding citizens.

"Throughout history, Han emperors established the social hierarchy, dividing official ranks into nine grades and eighteen levels. Unless one enters the court system, they are all commoners."

Su Qignian thought to himself, guessing the thoughts of these martial artists. No matter how famous they were in the martial world, as long as they did not join the Long Mountain Manor or become a Yuan Shen Zhenren, they were commoners. Once their status was brought to the surface, the court would not recognize it.

Now, with the emergence of Hong Qi's Yuan Shen world, if the court wanted to take control of the inheritance, their presence here seeking opportunities would be considered treason. Once they acted, it would be seen as defiance of imperial orders, leading to severe punishment and a manhunt by the Six-Fan Gate of the court.

Another half-hour passed.

Seeing the sky turn red, Su Qignian pondered. It seemed everyone was waiting, and at the top of Xuejia Mountain, auspicious qi and rosy light spewed forth, gradually descending. The entire Xuejia Mountain slowly lost its previous demonic aura and became sacred and peaceful, with a warm breeze and a mysterious fragrance permeating the air, refreshing the heart and lungs.

Hmm?

Suddenly, Su Qignian noticed a commotion in the distance. Some of the local garrison troops suddenly stood up, raising their spears, and a solemn and killing aura spread in all directions.

"The main character has arrived."

A wandering martial artist whispered, "Dongting Lake is thousands of miles away, but they arrived so quickly."

Dongting Lake?

Su Qignian's gaze sharpened. It seemed he was right; it was the Dongting Lake Junshan Island, the headquarters of the Beggar Gang.

Hong Qi, a generation of heroes in the Beggar Gang five thousand years ago, brought the Dragon Subduing Palm to the top tier, ultimately establishing the Beggar Gang's leading position in the martial world. Unfortunately, in his later years, his vitality declined, and he and a generation of demon emperors from the Tianque Clan fell into the temporal chaos, disappearing without a trace.

After that, the Dragon Subduing Palm of the Beggar Gang was incomplete. Although the Beggar Gang produced many strong figures in later generations, including top Yuan Shen figures like the Nine-Fingered Beggar, they could not transcend and were far from the grandeur of the Dragon Subduing Palm in historical records, which once made stars fall.

"Hmm? It's actually that young leader!"

"Both are young heroes on the Dragon Tiger List, it seems that the ranking of Wudang's Qinggan Daoist is only three places higher than his..."

Some old martial artists spoke, full of playful expressions, while more were filled with anticipation. So many famous figures, including those on the Dragon Tiger List and the Hunyuan List, and even grandmasters who had attained the Dao as Yuan Shen, gathered in the Moyun Mountains. Although the incident was sudden, those who could arrive in time, especially those from outside Shiyan Prefecture, were not weak.

Too many!

When the dust settled, Su Qignian was also taken aback. The number of Beggar Gang members, whether from the Clean or Dirty Sects or the Dragon Guard Sect, was no less than a thousand. It was hard to imagine how such a large group could gather in such a short time.

"Please grant the inheritance of the ancestor!"

Suddenly, the thousand Beggar Gang members roared in unison, their voices shaking the heavens, a formidable and indescribable aura sweeping through the area, causing a strong wind to rise and dust to fly.

"Please allow the cavalry general to pass, the Beggar Gang disciples are here to welcome the ancestor's inheritance back to the mountain."

A deep and resonant voice, young and straightforward, clearly reached every corner of the foot of Xuejia Mountain.

Another young hero!

Su Qignian took a deep breath. Such power was far beyond what he could achieve at the moment. However, he soon frowned, as he still had not seen the shadow of the chi dragon carriage.

The second update of the evening may be a bit late. I need to adjust my state and cannot write in a daze, as it would not produce quality work. Please understand.)
