Incredible Insight: Cultivating Immortality at Eight, Astonishing Zhang Sanfeng

Chapter 50:The Martial World is Shaken!Enlightenment in the Rainy Night,How Refreshing!

There were many rumors about the Dragon-Slaying Conference at Shaolin Temple that day.

Some said Xie Xun used the Dragon-Slaying Saber to kill Yuan Zhen.Others marveled at the astounding martial skills of the Seven Heroes of Wudang,showcasing their peerless techniques.The Green Dragon Sword Qi and Vermilion Bird Sword Qi caught the attention of swordsmen everywhere,who wanted to witness such terrifying sword qi that could overpower Heaven-Man masters!

But the most legendary tale was undoubtedly about the Pure Yang True Fire.The fire that refined the Golden Bodies of the three monks,leading to their demise,added a layer of mystique to the story.The Golden Body technique was exclusive to Heaven-Man monks,making them invulnerable to blades and qi.

Yet,the unseen eighth disciple of Wudang,with just a flame brought by his senior brother,shattered the Golden Bodies of the three monks,forcing them to perish.Naturally,this left everyone in awe.

Yao Yue,a person who thrived on strength,rarely took action unless necessary.Hearing about the Pure Yang True Fire,she was intrigued and wanted to witness it herself.She was also curious about the mysterious eighth disciple of Wudang.

Lian Xing,covering her mouth,giggled,”It’s rare to see you so interested,Sister.I’ll go make preparations.If you’re going out,we must not let Yihua Palace lose face!I wonder if those twelve zodiac members will show up.”

Yao Yue said indifferently,”In a month,Wudang will be full of turmoil.The Dragon-Slaying Saber is coveted,and so is Wudang’s foundation.Zhang Sanfeng has been quiet for a long time;he might be in seclusion,trying to reach the level of an earthly immortal.Some people may not want him to succeed.”

She saw beyond the obvious.

If Zhang Sanfeng became an earthly immortal,it would change the dynamics of the martial world in Ming.

Lian Xing nodded in surprise,not having considered this angle.She had thought everyone’s focus would be on the Dragon-Slaying Saber,perhaps with some trying to seize it.

At Divine Sword Manor.

A handsome young man stood with his hands behind his back,listening to his subordinates’reports.He had an air of both a wandering swordsman and a king.He was Xie Xiaofeng,the third young master of Divine Sword Manor.

“Third Young Master,should we go to Wudang in a month?”a subordinate asked respectfully.

Xie Xiaofeng turned around and asked,”Did you say that the sword qi at Shaolin that day transformed into a Green Dragon and Vermilion Bird?”

His eyes showed intense interest.

This subordinate,a master swordsman who had fought Wudang at Shaolin,couldn’t help but reveal a look of amazement,”Yes,I saw it with my own eyes.The overwhelming sword qi was like a storm.The three monks could barely resist it and were ultimately burned by the Pure Yang True Fire!”

Xie Xiaofeng shook his head slowly.

Ordinary people only saw the terror of the Pure Yang True Fire,but as a Heaven-Man swordsman,he saw the wonder of the sword qi.

“Sword qi transforming into spirits?I wonder what it would be like if Wudang’s eighth disciple wielded it himself?”

“Wudang often attended my Sword Trial Conference in the past.I should go to Wudang and meet the master of this sword qi!”

Swordsmen shared a mutual appreciation.

Xie Xiaofeng felt lonely.He wanted to see different swords,knowing the path to becoming an earthly sword immortal was arduous and required constant accumulation.

At the Sun Moon Holy Cult.

On Black Wood Cliff,a group of demonic cult experts knelt before a red-robed figure,who had a soft,androgynous face.Dongfang Bubai giggled softly,”I heard Zuo Lengchan and Ren Woxing were both killed by Wudang?Even Yue Buqun and the Four Factions of Mount Hua have pledged allegiance to Wudang?”

Ren Yingying’s eyes filled with anger and hatred.

“Reporting to the Cult Leader,Ren Woxing was a traitor to our Holy Cult,but he was still one of us.Wudang killed him without regard for our Holy Cult.Please,Cult Leader,make a decision!”

A ghostly figure suddenly flashed by.

Ren Yingying felt a stinging pain on her cheek,as if touched by electricity,making her shiver with disgust.A strange,eerie voice whispered in her ear,”Ren Yingying,do you want revenge for your father?Wudang has such a deep foundation,with Zhang Sanfeng and that low-profile eighth disciple both being Heaven-Man masters.Do you want me to go to my death?”

“I wouldn’t dare!”Ren Yingying,sweating profusely,knelt and kowtowed.

Dongfang Bubai snorted,”You better not!As the Saintess,I don’t want to punish you.Reflect on your actions.”

He looked down at his slender fingers,muttering to himself,”But I should still go see the excitement at Wudang.I’m not interested in the Dragon-Slaying Saber,but I want to see what that eighth disciple who killed Ren Woxing looks like!”

At the Emei Sect.

The atmosphere was tense.Emei’s four great masters were gathered,and many disciples bowed their heads,not daring to speak.

Emei’s leader was Dugu YiHe,whose depth was unfathomable.

The other three were Golden Light Master,Daoist Shen Xi,and Abbess Miejue,all top experts in the martial world.

They had also heard about Wudang’s invitation in a month,making Emei feel awkward.

The Dragon-Slaying Saber and the Heaven-Reliant Sword were both famous.

Recently,the emergence of the Dragon-Slaying Saber had caused a bloody storm,affecting Emei as well.

Many coveting the Heaven-Reliant Sword came to Emei Mountain,trying to probe the situation.Many bodies were thrown down the mountain,staining it with blood.

Wudang’s decision to destroy the Dragon-Slaying Saber in front of everyone drew even more attention to Emei.

Look at Wudang’s magnanimity!

They chose to destroy the Dragon-Slaying Saber for peace,while Emei kept the Heaven-Reliant Sword,guarding it closely.

In comparison,Wudang seemed more generous,and Emei faced criticism.

“Golden Light,your actions at Shaolin were inappropriate.Emei already struggles with having the Heaven-Reliant Sword.If you had taken the Dragon-Slaying Saber,it would make us a target!”Du Gu Yi He said slowly,with a hint of blame.

Golden Light Master looked troubled but nodded silently.His greed had clouded his judgment at the time,and now he realized his mistake.

Abbess Miejue,with a fiery temper,snorted,”Leader,although Brother Golden Light’s actions were unwise,the root cause lies with Wudang.With their foundation,they could have kept the Dragon-Slaying Saber.Instead,they play the magnanimous act of destroying it publicly,making us look petty!”

“Not using a divine weapon,what fools!”

She was naturally displeased,holding the Heaven-Reliant Sword herself.

Du Gu Yi He shook his head slowly,”Given the situation,we cannot attend Wudang’s conference.Otherwise,we’ll become the target.Lock the mountain gates;I have a bad feeling!”

Daoist Shen Xi wanted to speak but was stopped by Dugu Yi He.

Everyone bowed and left.

Du Gu Yi He watched their departing figures,silent for a long time.
