Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 926 - 478: Shut Out at the Door (Part 2)

"Lingxiao Peak, Five Stars Peak, Stubborn Elder’s Grotto, Yantai Palace, Jiuli Valley, Hidden Immortal Valley, Taiyi Cave, Ziwei Peak, Heavenly Altar Peak, Glazed Cliff...

Hebei is full of plains, and the famous mountains and rivers suitable for cultivation, as well as Cave Heaven Blessed Lands, are few in number and cannot compare with the mountain ranges of Qianzhou. However, the earth veins of Wangwu Mountain are extremely deep and broad, with abundant Spiritual Qi, making it Hebei’s top mountain. As a result, various Hidden Immortal Sect gates have gathered here.

And now, cultivation families from all over Genzhou are also coming to join Wangwu, creating a strong momentum in the mountains. It can be said that True Beings are gathered in clouds, countless Dao transmissions, claiming that there are over a thousand True Immortals in the mountains, with various forces intertwined.

Therefore, the rules of Wangwu are completely different from our Nine Yin, with no absolute authority of a single sect leader. In daily matters, a Hundred True Conference is convened, gathering the immortals for discussion. As long as one hundred True Men nod in agreement, it can be executed as the sect decree of Wangwu Mountain.

Due to historical reasons, Genzhou has been hostile towards Qianzhou for many years, with cultivators from both places competing for cultivation resources. The local cultivators are wary of outsiders, often excluding them. They rarely send their own disciples to the Mystic Lady Mountain Gate to become apprentices, instead recommending them to Wangwu Mountain nearby. Over time, the cultivators, when they chat, all seem to be related—if not relatives or friends, then disciples or Daoist companions.

There are similar tributes and protectors, with some Gate Valve families raising four or five of them. If you were to kill them all, you would become enemies with everyone in the mountains, from the palaces to the Dao sects. It would be easy for people to gather a hundred friends and family to oppose you at the conference, and then nothing could be accomplished."

Though Tang Tong spoke seriously, Tie Dan was not worried at all and even smiled and patted him on the shoulder,

"My dear Tang, just like a fish in water."

"Don’t be disgusting. So, what exactly are you doing here..."

Tie Dan was about to speak when he suddenly narrowed his eyes, turned around, and protected Tang Tong behind him,

"Indeed, the roots run deep! Is the elder here to avenge the disciple?"

Hearing his cover blown by Tie Dan, a Qi Refiner walked over from the doorway.

This person wore a Nine Ridge Hat on his top, adorned with a single Dust-proof Bead, donned a silk shawl, cinched with an Eight Treasure Tassel at the waist, wore Cloud Stepping Shoes on his feet, and held a Qilin Tail Brush in his hand.

His figure was thick, stomach protruding, eyebrows extended into the temples, sparse and long, with a full forehead and a square jaw, wind rushing underfoot as if spreading cool rain.

When he reached the front, he had already swept the ground full of corpses and blood, like fallen leaves, into his large sleeves.

"Taiyin Qi Refiner Xuanjing, I did not know the Nine Yin Sword Master had arrived, what brings you here?"

Tie Dan hadn’t spoken yet, and Tang Tong behind him was already bowing to the ground,

"Junior Tang Tong greets the Mountain Master Daoist Monarch."

The fact that the Mountain Master of Wangwu Mountain was a Daoist Lord was truly surprising?

Tie Dan was quite surprised as well, given that these days most sect leaders presiding over Mystic Sect Mountain Gates were still stuck in the Divinity Transformation Realm. Various Earth Immortals, Corpse Resolving Immortals, and Feather Transformation Immortals were already very rare, and Daoist Lords were even more scarce.

After all, there’s becoming immortal with Left Skill and falling into demonhood with Heterodox.

If your Daoist practice is deep enough, with exceptional natural talent, and the courage to open the heavens and the earth, of course, you can try to reach enlightenment and break through, emulating the Three Venerables, creating an unprecedented path, and maybe in the future, you might have the opportunity to attain Dao and become an Ancestor...

But let’s not kid ourselves, you can choose enlightenment, but it doesn’t mean you will attain Dao.

When it comes down to it, aren’t the old Divinity Transformers stuck in the mountains and caves also trying for enlightenment, but basically, they can only embellish on the foundation of the Mystic Lady without inventing anything new.

So far, no one but the Divine Lord has successfully opened a Great Dao, and the vast majority fall into the Demon Path, their bodies and Dao perishing.

Although there have been countless astonishingly talented seniors over the years who have opened numerous unorthodox paths that can temporarily solve the problems of Heavenly Tribulation and Lifespan Tribulation,

even so, each has its drawbacks. Not only does their combat power decline, but it is also inferior to the Golden Core Path of Mystic Sect. And after all sorts of Dao Transformation, Feather Transformation, or Corpse Transformation, their life spans are basically fixed, left to slowly wait for death, facing their own end.

While the Taiji Dao of the Mystic Lady currently has no future path, at least within the Divinity Transformation Realm, there is still the option of Soldier Disintegration and Body Seizing, reincarnation and reincarnation.

There are so many smart people in the Mystic Sect worldwide, if you just hold on and wait, who knows, maybe one day a Heavenly Pride Daoist will figure out a new version of the answer.

Therefore, the old Mystic Sect would rather cling to the bottleneck, retreat in the mountain, and endure the tribulation thunder with gritted teeth, unless it’s a last resort, when they’re really unable to withstand the killing tribulation, heavenly tribulation, and lifespan tribulation, they rarely choose to come to terms with the Heavenly Dao.

So, although we don’t yet know what exactly this Mountain Master Daoist Monarch has comprehended, regardless, being able to take this step, he is undoubtedly a Heavenly Pride level figure.

Though it seems that Xuanjing Daoist Monarch is quite reasonable, nodding towards Tang Tong,

"It’s my unworthy disciple who troubled Tang. Here is a Soldier Repelling Coin as a token of compensation."

Since a dignified Mountain Master chose to give Tie Dan face and make peace, Tie Dan naturally reciprocated with respect,

"Xuantian greets Daoist Monarch, I was merely invited to have a cup of tea.

In my haste during the journey, I accidentally harmed a disciple of your sect, this Soldier Repelling Coin, as a token of apology."

"Oh, you are here for tea."

Xuanjing Daoist Monarch looked at the Soldier Repelling Coin offered by Tie Dan but did not extend his hand to take it, only giving him a deep look,

"Unfortunately, you came at the wrong time. The Qingtang Sect Master recently obtained an opportunity for enlightenment; the Glazed Cliff is now closed and does not entertain external guests.

As the Mountain Master of Wangwu, I must protect my Daoist companion, so I can only ask the Sect Leader to arrange another meeting."

Tie Dan was silent for a moment, then gave a small chuckle,

"I had heard a bit about this matter, and since it is so, I will not insist.

But since I am here, can Immortal Ruowei spare a moment to meet for a chat?"

Xuanjing Daoist Monarch’s expression remained unchanged, and his tone did not waver,

"Unfortunately, my wife has caught a cold and is unwell, staying in retreat at Yantai Palace under my personal care.

If you have any instructions, you can entrust me to pass them on."

Tie Dan was silent for a while, then smiled,

"Is that so, is your wife’s health alright? I also have some medical skills; perhaps I could take a look."

Tang Tong was greatly shocked, glancing over.

Xuanjing Daoist Monarch remained calm and unmoved,

"Thank you, Sword Master, for your concern. It’s a minor injury, which I can treat myself, no need to trouble you, Daoist Brother."

"So that’s how it is..."

Tie Dan chuckled,

"A few days ago, the two ladies graciously invited me to visit the mountain, having long heard of the famed Moonlight Condensed Green Cauldron of Qingtang.

Today, I was hoping to savor its delights up close. What a coincidence that it turned out this way...

Oh, by the way, wouldn’t it be a coincidence if the Mountain Master Daoist Monarch happened to bring along the fresh sprouts personally picked by your wife?"

Tang Tong was sweating profusely as if caught in a downpour.

Xuanjing stared at Tie Dan for a moment, then pulled out a tea leaf package wrapped in a Daoist Talisman from his sleeve,

"Since it’s what my wife promised, please take it."

Tie Dan chuckled,

"Thank you, Daoist Monarch, I shall visit again another day."

"I won’t see you off!"

Xuanjing Daoist Monarch flicked his sleeves and flew off in the escape light.

Tie Dan watched the fading light coldly, sniffed the tea package, and casually tossed it to Tang Tong,

"Try it, good tea leaves, a compensation to you."
