The disciples of Xia Ke Island bowed as well.
They were all martial arts fanatics, obsessed with the stone wall’s martial art.
Now, having seen its true form, they were content.
Ning Changge nodded and, after a moment’s thought, extended a hand.
“Since I’ve benefited from Xia Ke Island, I won’t take advantage of you. While you cannot practice the Tai Xuan Scripture, I can modify it slightly. Those with sufficient comprehension may be able to practice it.”
For Ning Changge, this was a simple task.
With his comprehension, creating a modified version of the Tai Xuan Scripture suitable for ordinary people was effortless. However, not everyone would be able to practice it. The martial art still had its limits.
With a flick of his finger, the Scarlet Dawn Sword hovered in the air, carving words into the right side of the stone wall.
It was another version of The Knight-Errant’s Journey.
The twenty-four lines of poetry mirrored the original left by the Celestial Sword Immortal, complementing it perfectly.
The crowd stared in awe. The once-chaotic verses now seemed clear and accessible.
Excitement surged through them.
While Ning Changge’s path was far beyond their reach, the Tai Xuan Scripture was within their grasp.
They had initially felt regret at being unable to practice the legendary martial art. But now, hope had been restored.
“Thank you, Little Immortal!”
Their gazes burned with admiration and reverence. To modify the Tai Xuan Scripture with such ease—Ning Changge’s comprehension was truly monstrous.
No wonder the Celestial Sword Immortal had praised him as unparalleled in history. The crowd’s understanding of Ning Changge’s genius deepened.
Ning Changge simply smiled faintly.
He disliked unnecessary entanglements. Since he had gained from Xia Ke Island, leaving behind a modified version of the Tai Xuan Scripture was a small gesture.
Ning Changge and the group from Peach Blossom Island stayed on Xia Ke Island for a few days.
For Ning Changge, it was an opportunity to consolidate his insights from creating the Five Elements Sword Lotus and refining the Five Elements Sword Canon.
For the Peach Blossom Island group, it was a chance to further study the Tai Xuan Scripture.
While Ning Changge had left behind a modified version, the disciples still needed to comprehend it themselves.
During these days, the central cave was packed with disciples eagerly studying the Tai Xuan Scripture. The Dragon and Wood Island Masters did not interfere, instead establishing rules to maintain order.
Ning Changge silently approved.
In some ways, the Dragon and Wood Island Masters’ approach mirrored his own. By gathering the wisdom of many, they had paved their path. Their ability to reach the Land Immortal realm owed at least half of its success to the collective efforts of countless martial arts geniuses.
As Ning Changge browsed Xia Ke Island’s texts, he smiled. The island held many valuable works that enriched his foundation.
This journey had been fruitful.
Having obtained texts from the Quanzhen Sect, Peach Blossom Island, and Xia Ke Island, Ning Changge’s foundation would grow even deeper once he had absorbed their knowledge.

One day, the Dragon and Wood Island Masters came to bid farewell to Ning Changge.
“All good things must come to an end. Island Masters, everyone—until we meet again,” Ning Changge said with a smile.
The two island masters bowed respectfully.
“If the Little Immortal ever needs anything, simply send word. We’re more than willing to handle any errands.”
Ning Changge smiled faintly.
With a wave of his hand, he and the group from Peach Blossom Island vanished in a flash of five-colored light.
The disciples of Xia Ke Island, witnessing this for the first time, were left speechless.
The Dragon and Wood Island Masters, however, were filled with awe.
“This… this is the Immortal Dao! Such methods are beyond imagination. I wonder if we’ll ever have the chance to step onto this path.”
The crowd’s eyes were filled with hope.
They longed for the day when Ning Changge would spread the Dao to the world.
On the other side, Ning Changge and the group from Peach Blossom Island returned after several teleportations.
Seeing the familiar peach blossom forest, Huang Yaoshi and the others marveled at Ning Changge’s abilities, their faces lighting up with smiles.
As extraordinary as Xia Ke Island’s martial art was, nothing compared to the comfort of home.
Still, they were grateful for the opportunity to study the Tai Xuan Scripture. It was a rare fortune, and they knew exactly who had made it possible.
“Changge, thank you for this journey to Xia Ke Island,” Huang Yaoshi said sincerely.
Ning Changge waved it off with a smile.
“Senior Huang, there’s no need for thanks. It’s time for me to take my leave. My master’s centenary celebration is approaching, and I must return to Wudang.”
This journey had been a complete success.
He had fulfilled the promises made ten years ago, achieved the Foundation Establishment stage, and gained numerous divine abilities, including the Samadhi True Fire and the Five Elements Sword Lotus.
It was time to return to the mountain.
