Incredible Insight: Cultivating Immortality at Eight, Astonishing Zhang Sanfeng

Chapter 53

Inside the library,Ning Changge,undistracted,was reading a Dao scripture.A volume on thunder techniques had been particularly insightful,making him smile.The gathering of strong individuals at Wudang seemed like a trivial matter to him.

It didn’t disturb his mind at all.

Hearing the Wudang disciples’calls,he couldn’t help but stretch lazily.

Beside him,Jin Ling immediately put the scripture away respectfully.

Ning Changge smiled lightly,exuding an air of carefree transcendence.He placed his hands behind his back and said,”Let’s go meet the heroes of the world.”

Jin Ling respectfully followed,carrying the Dragon-Slaying Saber with excitement.

Ning Changge walked leisurely out of the library,appearing before everyone.

In an instant,silence fell over the world.

The wind blew,the clouds drifted,and the martial artists murmured,but the moment Ning Changge stepped out,the focus shifted.

The wind still blew,the clouds still drifted,but the martial artists fell silent,their eyes filled with astonishment as they gazed at Ning Changge.

What kind of young Taoist was this?

Dressed in a moon-white Taoist robe,he seemed otherworldly,as if not belonging to the mortal realm.

He looked like he was born to be favored by the heavens,embodying the essence of nature.

Every move he made carried an inexplicable aura,something not seen even in the strongest martial artists.

Though he appeared far away at first,in the blink of an eye,that celestial figure was on the altar,sitting down,as if he had shrunk the ground to an inch,leaving everyone in awe.

Yao Yue’s gaze turned solemn.

“What kind of movement technique is this?There’s no visible ripple at all!”She was shocked.

Her sect’s movement techniques were superior,but what Ning Changge had displayed was beyond comprehension.

“Wudang’s Ning Changge greets you all,”Ning Changge sat cross-legged on the altar,speaking softly.His voice flowed like a clear spring,yet clearly reached everyone’s ears,snapping them out of their shock.

They hurriedly returned the greeting,”We greet Ning Xiao Zhenren!”

Such an extraordinary demeanor,calling him Xiao Zhenren was not an exaggeration.No one felt it was inappropriate for him to sit on the altar.

Jin Ling stood respectfully beside Ning Changge,holding the Dragon-Slaying Saber.

Only now did the martial artists realize that the little attendant following Ning Changge was a golden monkey!

The monkey’s eyes were clear and intelligent.Even when facing experts like Xie Xiaofeng,it showed no fear,startling everyone.

Such an extraordinary scene was beyond belief.

All eyes were on Ning Changge,filled with admiration.

“Seeing is believing.This Wudang Xiao Zhenren truly lives up to the reputation of a peerless expert who can refine Golden Bodies with true fire.He’s undoubtedly a true Daoist master,even more remarkable than Zhang Zhenren in his youth!”

Nature’s favored son,the spiritual monkey presenting the saber.

This scene would be etched in everyone’s memory.

However,no one felt anything odd about Jin Ling.They found it intriguing and amazing.After all,monkeys were clever animals.With some training,it wasn’t impossible for them to perform human-like actions.

Such sects existed in the martial world.

Ning Changge slowly closed his eyes,his mind filled with enlightenment.

Today,he only needed to oversee the event and finally refine the saber with true fire.Everything else was not his concern.

The Wudang disciples gazed reverently at the figure on the altar.Song Yuanqiao could sense their awe and couldn’t help but smile,”The Dragon-Slaying Saber is now here.Before destroying it,I’ll show it to everyone,so no one can accuse us of substituting the real saber with a fake one.”

He took the Dragon-Slaying Saber from Jin Ling.

Holding it high,he let everyone see it.The saber’s majestic design,with a wide blade and a dragon-mouth hilt,was eye-catching.

Fiery gazes fell upon the saber,some tinged with hidden greed.

Song Yuanqiao first stopped before the Shaolin monks,smiling,”Abbot Kongwen,your Shaolin has dealt with the Dragon-Slaying Saber.Is this the genuine article?”

Kongwen looked pained,but he extended his hand and felt the saber,replying in a muffled voice,”It is genuine.”

Song Yuanqiao chuckled and moved to Yao Yue,”Palace Master Yaoyue,please verify.”

Yao Yue’s eyes showed surprise.Then she infused some energy into the saber,feeling its toughness.

She said coolly,”This material is undoubtedly genuine.”

Song Yuanqiao then approached Xie Xiaofeng,”Third Young Master,please verify.”

Xie Xiaofeng lightly touched the saber with his sword finger,smiling kindly,”It is indeed genuine.Wudang’s reputation is unquestionable.”

Song Yuanqiao,maintaining a calm expression,walked past several Heaven-Man experts and grandmasters.The heads of various factions confirmed it was the genuine saber.

Everyone was amazed by Wudang’s thoroughness.

By doing this,Wudang essentially had several experts and faction leaders vouch for them.

Some eyes showed complex and regretful expressions.

“Is this divine saber truly going to be destroyed today?”

Not everyone wanted the Dragon-Slaying Saber destroyed.Some coveted the treasures it was said to hide.The lives of ordinary people were not their concern.

Song Yuanqiao spoke loudly,”Since everyone has confirmed its authenticity,my junior brother will now refine the saber with true fire.Please bear witness!”

He then returned to the high platform and handed the saber to Jin Ling.

At that moment,a sudden change occurred!

Several powerful attacks,including saber qi,sword qi,and palm imprints,were launched at Song Yuanqiao.Some also aimed at the Dragon-Slaying Saber.Finally,some couldn’t hold back!

These ambitious individuals didn’t want to see the Dragon-Slaying Saber destroyed and made their move.

Several grandmasters attacked simultaneously,their internal force surging.Besides,master-level experts also tried to take advantage,making the scene chaotic.

Song Yuanqiao’s eyes flashed with anger.

Seeing the attackers,he shouted,”The Twelve Zodiacs,Evil Valley,and the Gold Coin Gang,you dare to snatch the Dragon-Slaying Saber?!”

With heroes from all over the world gathered at Wudang,no distinction was made between righteous and demonic sects to avoid criticism.But some had come in disguise,revealing their identities now by using their distinctive martial arts.

Wei Wuya,the head of the Twelve Zodiacs,laughed sinisterly and launched a fierce palm strike.

“I can’t stand hypocrites like you.You clearly want the Dragon-Slaying Saber but pretend to destroy it.In that case,give the saber to me!”

Du Sha,the leader of Evil Valley,stared at the saber with burning eyes,his bloody hands emanating a nauseating stench.He silently reached for the saber.

“You dare!”

Zhang Songxi,Zhang Cuishan,and the others,seeing their senior brother besieged,were furious and attacked.The sound of swords clashing filled the air as the Seven Heroes of Wudang formed a formation,attacking the saber snatchers.

For a moment,the scene was chaotic.

The Seven Heroes of Wudang and many skilled third-generation disciples engaged in fierce battles.Sword qi and saber qi flew everywhere.

Many neutral observers retreated.

The sudden turn of events was unexpected,though anticipated.Few imagined so many would attempt to snatch the saber.

Unlike Shaolin’s event,which didn’t broadcast having the saber,resulting in fewer attendees,this time,a month allowed many to come.

Yao Yue,Xie Xiaofeng,and others focused on Ning Changge on the altar.They knew the attackers were not a real threat.The key was Ning Changge,yet they were surprised he showed no intention of intervening!

Ning Changge sat with eyes closed,seemingly in a deep sleep.

With his spiritual sense,even in a state of enlightenment,he couldn’t be unaware of the surroundings.

Because of Song Yuanqiao’s request the night before,he agreed not to intervene unless necessary.

“Junior Brother,destroying the saber is not just about the saber.We need to show Wudang’s foundation and strength.The world must know that Wudang is not just you and our master but also the Seven Heroes and our disciples!”

His voice was solemn.

Bringing back the Dragon-Slaying Saber was his decision,and logically,he shouldn’t let his junior brother bear the burden alone.

Moreover,his junior brother created many supreme techniques and purified the disciples’spiritual power.But strength couldn’t be nurtured in a greenhouse;Wudang disciples needed to experience trials.

Hence,even knowing there would be trouble,he requested Ning Changge hold back unless an unbeatable enemy appeared.

Faced with his senior brother’s earnest plea,Ning Changge agreed.

Thus,he remained unchanged,only using his spiritual sense to ensure the disciples’safety.

On Mount Wudang,amidst the chaos,the observers’expressions changed.The Seven Heroes of Wudang faced many strong foes but held their own,even gaining the upper hand.

The Seven Stars formation,seven swords,gleamed before the world!

Wei Wuya had an arm cut off by Zhang Cuishan’s sword.Du Sha was pierced through the chest by Song Yuanqiao,nearly dying.Shangguan Jinhong,leader of the Gold Coin Gang,was besieged by three heroes,the indomitable Green Dragon Sword Qi overpowering him.

One by one,the notorious evil experts were defeated.

Even the third-generation disciples of Wudang formed sword formations,slaying many enemies.

The crowd fell silent.

Wudang’s power had been affirmed.

Today’s gathering to witness the saber’s destruction revealed the profound foundation of Wudang,astonishing everyone.
