Chapter 100

The Eastern Heretic Huang Huang Yaoshi, a grandmaster of a generation who once shook the Wu Lin and was known for his reclusive temperament and eccentric behavior.

After witnessing Ning Chuan’s heaven-defying comprehension and world-destroying strength.

Actually chose to let go of everything, entrusting the entire Taohuadao, along with his most beloved daughter, to this mysterious black dragon.

Then, he departed gracefully to roam the world and pursue a higher realm of Wu Gong.

If this news were to spread, the entire Wu Lin would likely be in an uproar.

When Huang Huang Yaoshi’s figure completely disappeared at the edge of the sea and sky.

Ning Chuan officially became the true master of this overseas immortal island—Taohuadao.

Everyone on the island, from Qu Qu Lingfeng and the other disciples to the ordinary servants and laborers, submitted to him wholeheartedly, respecting him like a god.

The entire Taohuadao was filled with an unprecedented sense of excitement and anticipation due to the arrival of this new Island Master.

They believed that under the leadership of this dragon Island Master, whose strength was unfathomable and whose methods were heaven-reaching,

The future of Taohuadao would surely be even more glorious, and it might even have the potential to become a supreme existence surpassing all Wu Lin holy lands!

Ning Chuan naturally felt the heartfelt support and reverence of everyone on the island.

He was quite satisfied in his heart.

Since he had already taken over this island, he naturally intended to manage it well and further strengthen Taohuadao’s power.

This was not only to fulfill his promise to Huang Huang Yaoshi but also to establish a stable rear base for his future path of demon cultivation.

He summoned Qu Qu Lingfeng, Lu Lu Chengfeng, Wu Wu Mianfeng, and Feng Feng Mofeng before him.

Using that dragon voice which carried a trace of majesty, he said:

"The Taohuadao mental cultivation method I previously improved for Rong'er, as well as the Wu Gong techniques I optimized for each of you."

"You must contemplate them carefully and cultivate diligently; do not be slack."

"In addition, I have here some more fundamental, yet more universally applicable internal cultivation methods and body-tempering techniques."

As Ning Chuan spoke, he used his demon power to carve into the ground some introductory techniques suitable for ordinary people to cultivate, which he had simplified and improved based on the Nine Yin Manual's general outline and his own understanding of the Dao of Wu.

Although these techniques were not as good as Taohuadao’s direct lineage secret arts, they had the advantage of being simple and easy to learn, with a solid foundation. Long-term cultivation could also strengthen the body, prolong life, and even offer the hope of stepping into the Post-Heaven realm.

"For these techniques, select some servants on the island with pure hearts and reliable loyalty to teach them."

"Let them also have some ability to protect themselves, so they are not completely powerless."

"The future of Taohuadao requires not only top-tier experts to hold the fort but also a solid foundation at the bottom."

"I hope that one day, the servants of my Taohuadao, when they go out, can all become first-class experts in the Wu Lin!"

"And even... everyone can enter the Pre-Heaven realm, and everyone can become a grandmaster!"

Ning Chuan’s voice carried an unquestionable dominance and powerful self-confidence!

Qu Qu Lingfeng and the others were all shaken to the core, their eyes filled with unbelievable excitement and fanaticism!

Everyone can enter the Pre-Heaven realm? Everyone can become a grandmaster?!

What a magnificent goal! What an incredible vision!

If this could truly be realized, to what terrifying extent would Taohuadao’s strength expand?!

They simply dared not imagine it!

But the one who said this was their omnipotent dragon Island Master!

They believed it without a doubt!

"Yes! We will strictly follow the Island Master’s decree! We will certainly do our utmost and not fail the Island Master’s high expectations!"

Qu Qu Lingfeng and the others responded in unison, their voices trembling slightly with excitement.

They seemed to have already seen the glorious scene of Taohuadao soaring into the sky and shaking the world in the near future!

And all of this would be created by the hands of this mysterious dragon Island Master before them!

Their worship and reverence for Ning Chuan climbed to a new height at this moment!

Meanwhile.

The Wu Lin outside Taohuadao had already been completely set ablaze by the series of earth-shattering events that had occurred previously!

All kinds of news and rumors, as if they had grown wings, spread at an astonishing speed throughout the Great Song, and even the surrounding Great Ming, Mongol Mongol Yuan, Western Xia, and other countries!

"Extra! Extra! Earth-shattering news!"

"The inside story of the Battle of Taohuadao revealed! Eight grandmasters besieged Taohuadao, only to be completely wiped out! Western Poison Ouyang Feng died on the spot!"

"A mysterious dragon Island Master has emerged, with unfathomable strength, suspected to be a god from the land descended to earth!"

"Have you heard? That Central Divine Power True Person Wang Wang Chongyang actually went to Taohuadao in person, wanting to seek justice for his junior brother Zhou Zhou Botong!"

"And the result? The result? Tell us quickly!"

"The result... the result is said to be that the Central Divine Power also retreated in defeat from Taohuadao! And it seems he even had to pay with all the Daoist scriptures of the Quanzhen Sect to settle the matter!"

"Hiss—! Even the Central Divine Power is no match for that dragon Island Master?! This is too terrifying!"

"Who exactly is that dragon Island Master? Could it really be a true dragon descended from the nine heavens?!"

"It is said that the dragon Island Master of Taohuadao is not only heaven-reaching in strength but also proficient in medicine, divination, astrology, and the mysterious arts of the Eight Trigrams, and can even deduce heavenly secrets and perceive the past and future!"

"He is simply an existence like a god!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

All kinds of jaw-dropping and unbelievable shocking remarks were constantly spreading and fermenting in major restaurants, teahouses, and on the streets and alleys.

Every Wu Lin traveler who heard this news felt their hearts stirred and were inexplicably shocked!

Taohuadao, this overseas immortal island that was originally famous only because of the Eastern Heretic Huang Huang Yaoshi.

At this moment, it had completely become the focus of the entire Wu Lin!

It had become the object of countless people’s discussions, speculation, longing, and... fear!

Its prominence even overshadowed the two great Wu Lin titans, Songshan Shaolin and Wudang!

Quanzhen Sect, Mount Mount Zhongnan, Wang Chongyang Palace.

Inside the main hall, the atmosphere was heavy and oppressive.

Qiu Qiu Chuji, Ma Yu, Wang Wang Chuyi, Liu Chuxuan, Tan Chuduan, Hao Datong, Sun Bu'er, and the other Seven Masters of Quanzhen were all looking at Wang Wang Chongyang, who sat at the head of the table, with painful expressions and grief-stricken hearts.

"Master! Is that... is that dragon truly so powerful? Even you, old Master, are no match for him?"

Qiu Qiu Chuji, whose temperament was like fire, was the first to ask, unable to hold back, his tone filled with disbelief and unwillingness.

In his heart, his Master Wang Wang Chongyang was the first of the Five Greats, an invincible existence!

How could he possibly be defeated by a... demon beast?!

Ma Yu also sighed and said with deep worry: "Master, if the rumors are true, are we really going to hand over all the Daoist scriptures passed down by the ancestors of the Quanzhen Sect to that Taohuadao?"

"That is the foundation of our Quanzhen Sect!"

"And Senior Brother Zhou..." Wang Wang Chuyi said in a low voice, his eyes filled with worry, "Does he really have to stay on that Taohuadao forever and acknowledge a dragon as his senior brother? This... what kind of decorum is this!"

The Central Divine Power Wang Wang Chongyang listened to his disciples' discussion, a bitter and helpless smile appearing on his face.

He sighed softly, his voice carrying a trace of exhaustion and loneliness:

"Alas, this master... is not his equal."

Just three words, yet they exhausted all the powerlessness and frustration in his heart.

That battle was truly too great a blow for him, the first of the Five Greats.

He paused, a trace of determination flashing in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Pass down the order to immediately organize manpower to copy all the important Daoist scriptures in the sect, especially those rare and unique copies, and be sure to keep a backup."

"Excluding the time for the journey, we have less than seven days left."

"Seven days later, if the sincerity of our Quanzhen Sect cannot be seen on Taohuadao, the consequences... will be unimaginable."

His voice carried a trace of deep dread.

Hearing this, everyone was shaken to the core, their faces showing unbelievable horror and pain!

Master actually... really wants to compromise?!

When has their Quanzhen Sect ever suffered such a great humiliation?!

But they also knew that even their Master had been defeated, so what could they do?

Apart from accepting it helplessly, there was no other way.

For a time, the entire Wang Chongyang Palace was shrouded in an atmosphere of grief, indignation, and powerlessness.

Far away in the Mongol Mongol Yuan Empire, Dadu, Ruyang Prince's Mansion.

Inside a gorgeously decorated study filled with exotic flair.

Princess Zhao Min, dressed in luxurious Mongol princess attire, with a beautiful face and a spirited air, was flipping through the latest intelligence about the dragon Island Master of Taohuadao with great interest.

In her bright and cunning eyes, a light of wisdom and inquiry flickered.

"Dragon Island Master? Speaks human language? Cultivates Wu Gong? Even the Central Divine Power Wang Wang Chongyang is no match for him?"

The corners of Zhao Min’s mouth curled into a playful smile, and she whispered to herself: "This is quite interesting."

"The Central Plains Wu Lin is truly full of hidden talents, and from time to time, some unexpected surprises pop up."

She raised her head and looked at the Xuanming Elders (Lu Lu Zhangke, He He Biweng) standing beside her, as well as the foreign monk Golden Wheel Dharma King, who was draped in a red cassock and holding a golden wheel.

She asked with a smile: "Mr. Lu, Mr. He, Dharma King, in your opinion, if the three of you joined forces, could you defeat that Central Divine Power Wang Wang Chongyang?"

The Xuanming Elders and the Golden Wheel Dharma King looked at each other, a trace of arrogance flashing in their eyes.

Lu Lu Zhangke said in a deep voice: "Reporting to the Princess, the three of us have all reached the third or fourth turn of the Grandmaster realm. If we were to fight alone, we might not be a match for that Wang Wang Chongyang."

"But if the three of us join forces, combined with the cold power of our Xuanming Divine Palm and the fierce dominance of the Dharma King’s Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art, we would definitely be able to suppress him steadily!"

The three of them were all grandmasters of their respective fields, and they were confident that by joining forces, they could sweep away most of the top experts in the Wu Lin.

Zhao Min nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this, clapped her hands, and laughed: "Very good!"

"Since that is the case, I have an interesting deal that I would like the three of you to take on."

She paused, a cunning light flashing in her eyes, and continued:

"A few days ago, someone spent a great price to entrust our Ruyang Prince's Mansion to take action, hoping that we could... intercept the batch of Quanzhen Sect Daoist scriptures that the Central Divine Power Wang Wang Chongyang is sending to Taohuadao."

"Intercept the Quanzhen Sect Daoist scriptures?!" The Xuanming Elders and the Golden Wheel Dharma King were all slightly startled upon hearing this.

The Golden Wheel Dharma King frowned slightly and said with some worry: "Princess, this matter... I am afraid it is somewhat inappropriate, right?"

"Although the Quanzhen Sect is not as strong as it used to be, it is, after all, the orthodox sect of the Profound Gate and has considerable influence in the Wu Lin."

"Moreover, that dragon Island Master of Taohuadao has unfathomable strength, and even the Central Divine Power is no match for him."
