Chapter 119

Ning Changge smiled as Zhang Sanfeng looked at him. With a flick of his finger, the celestial pillars of the Seven Stars Gathering Spirit Formation appeared around Tianzhu Peak.

Each of the seven peaks surrounding Tianzhu Peak had a pillar connecting to the sky, converging into a single point, pouring starlight and spiritual energy onto Tianzhu Peak.

Zhang Sanfeng finally understood why the spiritual energy on Tianzhu Peak was so abundant. It wasn’t his breakthrough; it was his junior brother’s doing!

Zhang Sanfeng was utterly astonished.

“Such a technique… truly divine!” He praised repeatedly, looking at Ning Changge with pride.

“Changge, it seems your path is becoming smoother!”

Ning Changge smiled, “All thanks to Master’s blessings.” Zhang Sanfeng shook his head, feeling that finding Ning Changge at the foot of Mount Hua was his own blessing.

Ning Changge then revealed the Spiritual Herb Garden. A river of stars poured into the garden, where rare herbs thrived, their spiritual energy surpassing other places.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The garden was flourishing, with many herbs showing significant progress. A diligent figure tended to the garden, working earnestly.

Zhang Sanfeng, seeing the herbs swaying, sighed, “Wudang is fortunate to have you.” He addressed Ning Changge, and Song Yuanqiao and the others nodded in agreement.

Ning Changge replied earnestly, “The seeds planted in the past bear fruit today. Being brought to Wudang by Master is my fortune.”

Without Wudang, he might have reached his current height, but not as smoothly and comfortably. Zhang Sanfeng stroked his beard, his smile never fading since seeing his disciples.

His astonishment also never ceased. Today was a day of double joy. Not only had he succeeded, but he also witnessed Wudang’s incredible transformation, making him very happy.

After circling Tianzhu Peak, they returned to the Zhenwu Hall. Zhang Sanfeng, calming his inner shock, asked, “Tell me everything that has happened in Wudang over the past year.”

He had seen Wudang’s foundations, but his intuition told him it wasn’t all smooth sailing. The Heaven-Man Tomb was proof of that, and he wanted to know about the destruction of the Dragon-Slaying Saber. If anyone had dared to bully his disciples while he was in seclusion, he wouldn’t let it slide!

Zhang Sanfeng looked at Song Yuanqiao, who carefully began recounting the events, starting with the Dragon-Slaying Saber.

Zhang Sanfeng listened intently. When he heard that Song Yuanqiao had chosen to bring the Dragon-Slaying Saber back to Wudang, he showed approval. He didn’t care about the minor insults from Shaolin; Zhang Sanfeng had always acted with a clear conscience. His disciples also upheld the principle of not bullying others with their power.

However, after the Dragon-Slaying Saber was brought back to Wudang, heroes gathered at Wudang. He finally understood the origins of the Heaven-Man Tomb.

“That Dongfang Bubai, Ding Peng, and that nameless old monk dared to attack Wudang’s juniors. They truly deserve a beating!” Zhang Sanfeng snorted coldly. If he had been there, he wouldn’t have let those three off easily.

But when he heard that the sweeping monk from Shaolin had descended with a Buddhist relic to oppress Ning Changge, his eyes flashed with cold light, and he couldn’t help but shout, “Good old Shaolin! I didn’t learn much from Shaolin in my youth, but I stayed there for a while. Knowing I was at fault, I usually let things slide. But I didn’t expect them to be so shameless!”

“How dare they take advantage of my seclusion to descend upon Tianzhu Peak and bully my disciple with the power of a Land Immortal!”

He was furious. Song Yuanqiao and the others had rarely seen him like this and quickly reassured him, “Master, don’t worry. We didn’t suffer any losses. Our junior brother summoned heavenly thunder and true fire, burning the sweeping monk’s Buddhist relic to ashes!”

“But the sweeping monk seemed to have the intention of causing more trouble, saying something about having karmic ties with our junior brother.”

Zhang Sanfeng’s expression softened slightly, but then he frowned again, “He dares! Does he think I’m just for show?”

“Changge, don’t worry. If that old monk dares to come, I’ll deal with him for you!”

It was clear that Zhang Sanfeng was genuinely angry. Ning Changge smiled and reassured him, “Master, there’s no need to worry. If that sweeping monk dares to come to Tianzhu Peak, I’ll show him what real power is. But for now, I prefer to focus on my cultivation.”

Zhang Sanfeng was surprised by Ning Changge’s confidence. Seeing his disciple’s many grand accomplishments, he had guessed that Ning Changge’s strength was unfathomable. But he hadn’t expected him to be so dismissive of the sweeping monk. Knowing Ning Changge’s character, he understood that this was not arrogance but a calm confidence.

Song Yuanqiao laughed, “Master, if you knew what our junior brother has done, you’d understand why he’s so confident!”

Zhang Sanfeng listened carefully. Hearing that Ning Changge had defeated Sword Emperor Jiu with three swords was impressive enough. But when he heard that Ning Changge had severed the limbs of the Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian on Mount Emei with his spiritual sword, he was utterly shocked.

He stared at Ning Changge, feeling both proud and a bit bitter. He had thought that after becoming a Land Immortal, he could surpass his junior disciple and provide more protection for his disciples.

But now, it seemed unlikely. He knew that while his Taiji Dao was profound and granted him great power as a Land Immortal, easily defeating Xiang Yutian might still be beyond his reach. Comparing himself to his junior disciple, Ning Changge’s combat prowess was terrifyingly formidable!
