Novel Bin Chapter 72
Atop Celestial Pillar Peak, two radiant beams suddenly thrust upward, one golden with a terrifying killing intent, the other green, brimming with vibrant life force.
Their brilliance illuminated the nine heavens, their sharp edges unmatched!
The sun and moon paled in comparison.
This spectacle roused all of Wudang.
Disciples opened their windows and gazed at the night sky, shocked by the sight of the two beams, especially the unrivaled sharpness contained within, which sent chills down their spines.
However, once they looked towards the direction of the light columns’ origin, they relaxed, merely curious:
“Has Little Martial Uncle developed another unparalleled divine power?”
Their eyes were filled with admiration.
Ever since the day heroes had gathered at Wudang, its prestige in the martial world had surged. Various sects sent esteemed elders and talented disciples to exchange knowledge.
Of course.
In name, it was for exchange, but in reality, they wished to curry favor with Wudang.
In no time, Wudang’s entrance became bustling with visitors.
Even today, the Ming Emperor had specifically sent Iron Courage Marquis Zhu Wushi to Wudang, not as a martial world figure but as a representative of the imperial court.
To officially decree Wudang as a holy land of Daoism.
He brought many precious gifts, including rare Daoist texts, to be placed in Wudang’s Sutra Pavilion.
What an honor.
It must be noted that within Ming’s territory, only Dragon and Tiger Mountain, with its thousand-year heritage, held the title of a Daoist holy land.
But now.
Wudang had ascended to the same height as Dragon and Tiger Mountain, despite having only been established for a few decades and still in its growth phase, with a boundless future ahead.
Wudang disciples knew that this was mainly due to Little Martial Uncle’s efforts, attributing about seventy percent of the credit to him and the remaining thirty percent to their grandmaster.
They gazed at the sky trying to discern the source, their low cultivation limiting their vision, leaving them peering in vain.
Other wandering knights lodging at Wudang were equally awestruck.
Not present at the Celestial Pillar Peak’s earlier events, they had rushed to visit upon hearing the news.
Having witnessed the Heaven-Man Tomb by day, even casual martial artists dared not approach due to its evolving aura.
The three buried Heaven-Men warriors would block some, and with more warriors interred in the future, even Heaven-Men might not be able to enter!
And now.
The night sky’s two beams filled them with dread. Highly skilled individuals could vaguely see spiritual swords spinning within, basking in astral and lunar light.
Their sharpness made them shiver and swallow nervously.
Seeing Zhu Wushi frozen in shock, Princess Yunluo couldn’t help but ask:
“Uncle, what do you see?”
Having heard of Wudang’s young true immortal, she had come with Zhu Wushi to deliver the decree, wanting to see this legendary figure.
However, to her disappointment, Nian Changge did not appear during the day’s decree ceremony; only the Wudang Seven Heroes were present.
Yet, despite her willfulness, she knew that even the Ming Emperor had to respect land-dwelling immortals, so she wisely refrained from demanding Nian Changge’s appearance.
“Two spiritual swords! No less than the Chi Xiao Sword!”
“This young true immortal has probably made further progress!”
Zhu Wushi exhaled slowly, an expression of complexity in his eyes.
Having witnessed Nian Changge easily wield a flying sword to defeat Dongfang Bubai, and now seeing two more spiritual swords, his strength had undoubtedly increased.
How short a time it had been.
This young true immortal was truly a monster.
A deep reverence and an undercurrent of envy surged within him, wishing he possessed such monstrous talent, finding the task at hand trivial.
Princess Yunluo, never having seen Zhu Wushi so unsettled, was immensely curious:
“Is this young true immortal truly so formidable? Capable of summoning true fire with a flick and lightning with a gaze?”
