Chapter 364: Chapter 156: The World’s First Mysterious Sect Disbands, Practicing the Saintly Dao—Li Treading Immortal Receives Three Months of True Transmission!
Only Jixia remained.
Looking at Zuo Shanhe in front of him, opening his eyes and giving him a gentle smile:
"Originally, I should have sent you down the mountain."
"But, since I promised you back then, I won’t fail to fulfill it."
"Years ago, when I read the Taoist Scripture and Confucian doctrines, my heart yearned for the Saintly Dao, but I know I could never become such a person in this life, so I can only adhere to the teachings, abiding by my own actions."
"Words given must be kept, actions must bear fruit."
"Li Treading Immortal..."
"You shall stay here as my ’recorded name’ for three months."
"I will establish the Martial Gate Foundation for you, collect Qi to form Innate energy, and after the period ends, I will write you a recommendation to seek true teachings from other strong sects, striving to assist you... to break through the ’great limit of twenty-eight years’."
"But this old man here is already a rotten log, neither the First Mysterious Sect Leader nor the invincible Mountain and River Immortal anymore, I wonder, do you still wish to stay?"
Jixia listened for a long while, as an observer, having seen through this entire ’Mysterious Sect’s rise and fall,’ inexplicably growing respect for this sect leader from a hundred years ago.
To restrain oneself from such ’temptation’...
In the whole world, there are scarce few.
"Disciple, willing!"
But...
Nirvana Tribulation.
This name.
Why does it sound so familiar...
...
Life and Death Mountain and River Sect.
Palace Plaza.
Feng Zizai held those two scrolls of Life and Death Mountain and River Profound Skill, looking at the closed hall doors, as if he were gripping a hot potato.
Seeing the surrounding scarlet eyes, mixed with anger, seeming to blame all the impending disaster on him, he grimaced, weighed the transmission in his hand, and gave a bitter smile:
"What is this situation..."
"However,"
"Since Left Gate Leader spoke."
"Then this favor, Feng Zizai accepts!"
"If I gain the technique someday,"
"I shall offer a share to Life and Death Mountain and River Sect!"
Having said that, he intended to leave with Guan Chanzi and Zhang Ziqing by his side.
As they reached the mountain gate.
’Creak’...
The doors of the main hall slowly opened.
"Canyuan Brother!"
"Brother Xiu Fa!"
"Master?"
Looking at the two bodies, as if their souls were drained, like walking corpses, all the disciples glanced inside.
A while later,
finally heard the bitter voice of Canyuan, looking up at the sky, letting the drifting snow fall on his shoulders, for a long time...
"From today,"
"Life and Death Mountain and River Sect is dissolved."
"Everyone..."
"Master has already planned a path for you."
"Now... descend the mountain."
...
At year’s end, great snow in deep winter, between heaven and earth, an expanse of cold silence.
Yet during this time.
Northwest, Great Yin.
Three major events occurred consecutively.
Duke Tongye Li Shen Yao declared independence, Wuwei Sect Leader assassinated King Yin, World’s First Mysterious Sect ’Life and Death Mountain and River Sect’ ... dissolved.
Not discussing the former.
The latter two happened almost simultaneously.
It is said,
Wuwei Sect Leader Feng Zizai once infiltrated Life and Death Mountain and River Sect to scheme for Profound Skill but did not succeed, later agreed on a three-year pact with Sect Leader Zuo Shanhe.
The agreement was that, at the end of the period, they would determine the outcome by a magic duel.
If he won, he would take the Profound Skill and leave.
If he lost, he would commit suicide on Nirvana Mountain.
It was thought to be an unparalleled duel between the World’s First Mysterious Sect of the pure-blooded human race, and the First Demon Sect leader.
But unexpectedly...
Without waiting for the deadline.
As soon as Wuwei Sect Leader treaded for the second time, he had already successfully taken the magical technique, and shortly after, the ’Mountain and River Immortal’ seemingly broke his ’eternal youth’ spell, turning old and frail, and even dissolved the sect.
All disciples who descended the mountain were filled with grief and indignation, kept silent about everything that happened on the mountain.
Yet external rumors only believed...
That Wuwei Sect Leader Feng Zizai, first challenging Great Yin, then breaking the Mountain and River Immortal’s Profound Skill, became famous for a time, almost seemingly transformed into the most sensational figure in the world...
And at that time.
The sect leaders and sect heads of ’Sixteen Strong Sect’ of Tongye State, were greatly astonished, various experts banded together, wanting to ascend Nirvana Mountain and Life and Death Mysterious Gate to seek clarity.
As for Ming Huang State, Divine Capital.
A luxurious exotic carriage engraved with the word ’Fuyao,’ upon hearing the news, knowing there’s an unknown and inconspicuous youth still beside the ’Mountain and River Immortal’...
Without hesitation, even though Life and Death Mountain and River Sect was no more, still resolutely chose to head to Nirvana Mountain!
Just as the whole world’s turmoil and focus.
All gathered upon Wuwei Sect and Life and Death Mountain and River Sect.
But!
In Tongye State, Duke’s Mansion!
Received intelligence from Divine Capital...
This snowy night.
The lights in Tongye Duke’s Mansion were brightly lit.
