Chapter 360: Chapter 155: Mountain and River Immortal Strikes the Celestial Gate, Witnessing the Birth of the First ’True Master’ 100 Years Ago?! (Part 2)
"You are..."
"Three years ago, you came with Duke Tongye, Li Shen Yao, to see the sect leader, and... were you the little son who was destined not to live past sixteen?"
"Li Treading Immortal..."
"You didn’t seem to be called that at the time."
Zuo Canxuan’s expression eased slightly, but then he felt a bit puzzled, wondering how Jixia was mixed up with Feng Zizai and these Demon Sect demons.
In response, Jixia answered:
"Sir, I have now lived to be sixteen."
"The sect leader once said that if I could break the first limit of my destiny, he would consider me destined and personally teach me, allowing me to seek the Dao in the sect."
"So..."
"I came from afar."
Having rushed through the story of the annihilation he faced in the Divine Capital, without details of slaying Li Qing and Li Shentong, he quickly recounted it.
Beside Zuo Canxuan, though looking very young, the one whose real age should be somewhat younger, Zuo Xiufa, heard this and his eyes showed sympathy:
"This destiny truly is arduous..."
"However, since it was something the sect leader said, and we were present, even though Duke Tongye and Great Yin have fallen out, what happens below is not of concern to those on the mountain."
"You can join the sect first, stay in the Lower Institute to temper yourself. My brother Zuo Canxuan and I will lay the foundation for you, and when the sect leader emerges, breaks through to True Master, he will personally ’Wash Marrow’ and teach you the ’Life and Death Mountain and River Profound Skill’!"
At this, Zuo Xiufa smiled, his black hair fluttering, his robe moving without wind, and patted Jixia’s shoulder warmly, as if comforting this child with a tumultuous and wandering life.
"But, you must remember."
"Do not associate with these unscrupulous and disgraceful Wuwei Sect demons who covet the techniques of the Sixteen Major Sects, otherwise you will surely meet ruin!"
However, when he looked at Feng Zizai, Zuo Xiufa slightly raised his head, his eyes turning cold instantly, his tone scornful.
Feng Zizai cackled and didn’t want to say much, turned to leave.
After all, they hadn’t intended to come in the first place, and now they’re ’wanted by Great Yin.’
If he hadn’t noticed at first glance that Li Treading Immortal had extraordinary potential, wanting to befriend him, to form a blood pact, and seek great achievements together,
He wouldn’t have let Guan Chanzi use his life-long skill, the ’Lanke Golden Light Escape Book,’ risking pursuit by the Six Pillars of Divine Blood, expending a day and night of magical power, to come to the Life and Death Mountain and River Sect beside the Divine Capital in Tongye.
Now the matter was settled, the person delivered, no need to tolerate Zuo Shanhe and the others treating him coldly.
But at this moment ————
BOOM!!
From the sky, a thunderous clap!
In an instant, everyone present felt an inexplicable sense of ’trepidation’, then lifted their eyes to the sky, and saw!
A ’brilliant golden light, illuminating all directions’, an illusory celestial gate...
It seemed to appear suddenly, opening slowly above the Taoist temple at the peak of Nirvana Mountain...
!!
"What... is this?!"
Rustle! Rustle!
Following Zuo Canxuan and Zuo Xiufa, standing together by the copper furnace at the mountain gate were numerous members of the Mountain and River Sect.
And at this moment,
When they saw this unexpected omen and the sight of a ’half-open celestial gate’...
Couldn’t help but tremble with excitement.
Immediately, scattered and in succession, they eagerly knelt towards the depths of the sect, as if seeing the azure sky:
"A celestial gate, it’s the celestial gate!"
"Every current Sixteen Major Sects, demons, Divine Blood Nobility, all ancient texts, books containing the ’Fourth Step’ snippets mention it!"
"Seeing the ’celestial gate’... can prove one as the ’True Master’!"
"Sect Leader, look, it’s the sect leader!"
As slender smoke rose.
The celestial gate opened wide over the Life and Death Mountain and River Sect.
A young figure draped in the Mountain and River White Phoenix Robe, its sleeves embossed with gold patterns fluttering in the wind, with white hair dancing wildly.
Just like that, without relying on any ’True Qi’...
His whole being brimming with ’Gang Qi,’ resembling a white-robed ascension, achieving the True Immortal state, slowly rising into the air, stepping bit by bit towards the half-revealed celestial gate, as if...
All he needed was to reach out and gently push it.
From this moment on,
He would be the first since the awakening of cultivation in the Northwest Land!
No matter what demons, Divine Blood Nobility, Sixteen Major Sects, or any other demons and ghosts...
None can compare to him!
"This person, is Zuo Shanhe..."
Confronting this scene, with an intense ’visual impact’, Jixia’s eyes narrowed slightly.
He had seen many top-tier ’Celestial Human Realm’ individuals with Primordial Pills, and witnessed many True Masters, and he himself was also a Jade Liquid Void Pill Realm master, not far from this realm.
But when he saw Zuo Shanhe,
Even if it was just a fleeting glimpse.
He felt that despite being Jixia, he might not withstand even one move from him!
This person seemed to have thoroughly studied and assimilated all martial arts, Dao texts, scriptures beneath the Fourth Step... even from afar, one could glimpse some clues!
Involuntarily, Jixia looked towards Feng Zizai, who paused and gazed, eyebrows furrowed in amazement, apparently greatly shaken.
"This person, audacious enough to make a pact to duel with such a figure, and even attempt to sneak into his mountain gate to steal true skills..."
"Indeed, one cannot judge a book by its cover!" Jixia shook his head.
These hundred-plus years.
