Chapter 1729: The Holy Mother Wudang Returns; Taixuan Offers Guidance (First Update, Please Subscribe)

~5 min read 911 words

Su Xiaoxiao: "Old Man Fang is really impressive, how is he so perceptive?"

Fang Yan: "Isn't this in the records from the group files? I've finished reading them all these past few days."

Suzume: "Those files are actually that useful?"

Fang Yan: "For those who aspire to the Great Dao, those things might be more meaningful than the techniques in Shangcheng. Once you all cultivate to Da Luo, you should read more of them, or you'll end up making fools of yourselves."

Misaka Kagome: "That's still a long way off!"

Akiyama Mio: "Indeed it's still early, we haven't even become immortals yet."

The Investiture of the Gods world.

The Heavenly Court.

Wudang resided in her divine palace, growing ever more bored.

A thousand years of time, she had enjoyed her fill of divine incense and offerings, her fill of wealth and glory.

Yet she was not happy, and instead grew increasingly restless.

In truth, this was a very strange thing.

A Quasi-Saint powerhouse's heart is like a bright mirror, unstained by a speck of dust; nothing in the world could disturb it.

Yet she was increasingly unable to keep her heart still.

"Is it a tribulation? Or something else?"

As everything she had experienced over these thousand years rose in her mind, the Holy Mother Wudang's mood gradually calmed.

"I never expected it—I've already fallen here in the Heavenly Court for so long. It's time to leave."

Her expression resolute, she rose and went to the Lingxiao Hall to state her purpose.

"Release from divine office, return to the mountain to cultivate?"

Haotian was somewhat puzzled.

Clearly the Heavenly Court's cultivation environment was excellent.

"Very well, since that is so, junior sister-niece, you may go." Haotian did not press the matter and granted his assent.

Over a thousand years, Duobao and the others had been in the Heavenly Court, wielding authority; although they kept the order of the Three Realms neat and proper, they had also threatened his own power.

The Holy Mother Wudang wanting to leave would only make Haotian happy.

Leaving the Heavenly Court, the Holy Mother Wudang felt her whole body lighten, as if an invisible shackle had been shed, and her mood too became cheerful.

"First, return to Jin Ao Island to pay my respects."

She rode up an auspicious cloud and headed toward Jin Ao Island.

A moment later.

Jin Ao Island arrived.

"What? Master went to Luo Fu Grotto? Did he say when he'd return?"

The boy shook his head: "He did not."

The Holy Mother Wudang nodded: "I understand. I'll go to Luo Fu Grotto then, and take the chance to meet with fellow disciples."

Having said that, she rode up an auspicious cloud and headed straight for Mount Emei.

As she neared Mount Emei, the Holy Mother Wudang saw boundless auspicious light and blessed haze, continuous dragon-like streams of fortune, vibrant spiritual energy—truly a wondrous cultivation ground.

"The Taixuan Sect has already reached such a scale?"

The Holy Mother Wudang's gaze sharpened slightly as she watched the Taixuan disciples flying about Mount Emei, and she could not help being shocked.

There were even Jin Xian among them?

How many years had it been!

Such natural talent was truly astonishing to the world.

"The human race truly has immeasurable potential."

For non-human beings to cultivate, the first step is to awaken spiritual intelligence—out of ten thousand, perhaps one succeeds—yet the human race has no such hurdle.

Just as she was thinking, she saw an auspicious cloud rise, and a Duanzhuang young girl came forward to greet her.

The newcomer was none other than Bixiao.

"Senior Sister Wudang, aren't you on duty at the Heavenly Court?" Bixiao said in surprise. "Why have you come to Mount Emei today?"

"I've already been released from my divine office and regained my freedom." The Holy Mother Wudang smiled. "From now on, Wudang only wishes to be an unfettered cultivator."

"Senior Sister being able to see through it is truly a joyous thing." Bixiao smiled. "Senior Sister, please follow me. Master is waiting for you."

The Holy Mother Wudang nodded, descended from her cloud, and followed behind Bixiao.

Entering the Luo Fu Grotto-Heaven, she indeed saw her Master Tongtian.

"Disciple greets Master!"

Suddenly, Wudang's heart gave a jolt.

Sitting opposite her Master, that existence called Ancestor Taixuan—what was going on?

Tongtian nodded: "Good, good, good. I never expected it would be you, Wudang, who saw through the barrier of fame and fortune, broke through the tribulation, and returned. This is Ancestor Taixuan, a good friend of mine as your Master. You (bbad) may greet him."

"Wudang greets Ancestor Taixuan."

Zhang Taixuan smiled: "Rise. Speaking of which, Yunxiao is my Dao companion, so by rights we should be of the same generation."

The Holy Mother Wudang felt that the seniority was truly a complete mess.

Tongtian laughed heartily: "Wudang, you need not mind such things; we each count our own way. Speaking of which, you also have the heart to seek the Dao, don't you? The Ancestor Taixuan is right here—why not quickly ask for guidance?"

Wudang was startled, suddenly recalling the matter of years past.

The Taixuan Immortal Martial Way?

She looked toward Zhang Taixuan and saw him nod lightly.

"Ancestor, may I also cultivate the Taixuan Immortal Martial Way?" The Holy Mother Wudang's breathing grew somewhat rapid.

The timing of my own return was simply too perfect — I actually got to see Grand Master Taixuan in person.
