Mountain; Pei Xuanjing’s First Meeting with the Old Heavenly Master (5.2K Long Chapter)

Translator: 549690339

Pei Xuanjing didn’t allow anyone to follow him, and walked alone along the Lüxi River, strolling beneath the Dragon Tiger Mountain.

He slowly wandered, intently feeling this mountain range that was well-renowned between heaven and earth. The Dragon Tiger Mountain, which stood tall for millions of years, had a distinctive charm.

Recalling the past, Zhang Daoling, who claimed to be a descendant of Zhang Liang, wandered around Fanyang Lake, ascended to Yunjin Mountain, proclaimed the bestowment of Taoist skill by celestial beings, refined the

Dragon Tiger Great Pill for enlightenment, and renamed Yunjin Mountain to Dragon Tiger Mountain later on.

Zhang Daoling made his mark by chopping mountains and demolishing temples, eliminating six ancient persuasions, and establishing the Zhengyi Dao. From then on, the lineage of the Heavenly Master’s Tao from Dragon Tiger Mountain came into existence.

The man of the past has departed, while Dragon and Tiger still remain.

Although the Ancestor Celestial Master who initially founded Dragon Tiger Mountain has ascended immortal, the Dragon Tiger Mountain left behind still stands between heaven and earth after thousands of years, being revered as a Taoist Holy Land.

If one were to delve into details, his Shenxiao Sect belonged to Zhengyi Dao. However, with the continuous expansion of the Shenxiao Sect, it began to compete with Dragon Tiger Mountain, vying for the leadership position of Zhengyi Dao.

“Although transformed into celestial form, one’s reputation echoes for millennia. I regret not being able to cross a thousand years, to witness the demeanor of the Ancestor Celestial Master!” Pei Xuanjing muttered to himself.

Ever since the message about Pei Xuanjing challenging the old Celestial Master of the Dragon Tiger Mountain began to spread, countless martial artists from rivers and lakes have swarmed in.

Being a Taoist Holy Land, Dragon Tiger Mountain was already bustling. At this moment, the influx of people doubled, requiring them to dispatch many disciples to maintain order at the mountain gate.

A single sweep from Pei Xuanjing could detect those Dragon Tiger Mountain disciples in Taoist robes. Each of them had robust physiques, deep True Qi, and filled with Blood Qi, clearly displaying their strong abilities.

Among some minor sects, they would be deemed as core disciples but here at Dragon Tiger Mountain, they were only ordinary disciples tasked to guard the gate.

The depth of a Taoist Holy Land, an apex power of Jianghu, even inadvertently, could make many tremble. This was something that mediocre forces couldn’t compare to.

However, Dragon Tiger Mountain knew why so many martial artists came here. Despite their reputation, it was impossible to keep everyone from climbing the mountain.

The purpose of dispatching these disciples was merely to maintain peace. After all, the river and lake folks were filled with youthful mettle, most of which are easily irritated, forthright, and frequently start a brawl due to a disagreement.

Hence, they left these disciples here to prevent these martial artists from fighting due to minor disputes, which would lead to unnecessary trouble.

To them, as long as no disturbances were caused, they didn’t mind who climbed the mountain, even if they were from the Demonic Cult.

Pei Xuanjing, along with the crowd, continued his unhurried journey up Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Despite his leisurely pace, it made the rest very anxious.

At this point, on Dragon Tiger Mountain, the spectators who came to watch the fight were all staring around. They were eager to witness the competition between Pei Xuanjing and the old Celestial Master.

One was the First-Grade Slayer Taoist, Pei Xuanjing, who was in his prime. Over the past three months, he has defeated countless strong adversaries, being revered as the Jianghu Supreme of the new generation.

The other, a man who dominated Jianghu for nearly two hundred years, despite not having fought for decades, yet instilled formidable fear, was inscrutably deep. He was the old Celestial Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Any of their names were enough to stir turmoil in Jianghu.

How could one not be enthralled when these two were about to fight, yearning to witness such a world-shaking battle with their own eyes?

Understand that if Pei won the fight, it was expected. After all, his opponent was the inscrutable old Celestial Master. As long as he didn’t lose terribly, it would be enough to prove Pei’s power at the supreme Jianghu level.

But if Pei Xuanjing won.

It would truly turn the world upside down!

This signifies the overtaking of the old by the new generation, the powerful figures of the old Celestial Master’s generation could no longer suppress the newcomers.

For Dragon Tiger Mountain, which has been declining recently, this would undoubtedly be a heavy blow.

Regardless of their Jianghu reputation, within the Taoist School, it was uncertain if Dragon Tiger Mountain could continue to be the leader of the Zhengyi Dao.

Bear in mind that the Shenxiao Sect represented by Pei Xuanjing was a true follower of Zhengyi Dao and had sufficient justification to replace them.

Despite the anxiety of waiting, they could only patiently wait as the host, Dragon Tiger Mountain, had not yet opened its mouth.

For such a significant event, the True Martial Sect, being a grand Taoist sect, could not miss it whether it be for public or private reasons. Naturally, their delegation needed to attend as well.

Since Qingxu, the sect master, was busy studying the important formations and due to previous plans, he couldn’t attend personally. Instead, he sent his junior Qingyang Zi, along with a few others.

Fortunately, Qingyang Zi ascended to the First-Grade Realm not long ago and was completely qualified to represent the True Martial Sect.

Qingyang Zi agreed to his older brother’s arrangements without any objections.

Because for him, this was a very awkward moment.

Being the emperor’s mentor initially, his relationship with the emperor gradually drifted apart due to the True Martial Sect, eventually losing the emperor’s trust.

Now, with the emperor being assassinated, he couldn’t return to Tiandu, as inadvertence could drag him into the whirlpool of strife..
