The five-colored light in Ning Changge’s eyes gradually faded, and a smile appeared on his lips.
His second minor divine ability, the Five Elements Spirit Eyes, was complete!
“Five Elements Spirit Eyes—capable of piercing illusions, attacking enemies, observing celestial phenomena, and perceiving the fortunes of people and dragons. Its applications are endless!”
The Heavenly Observation Eyes had already been immensely beneficial to Ning Changge.
Now, the Five Elements Spirit Eyes were ten times stronger, perfectly complementing his unparalleled comprehension. With these eyes, no illusion could escape his gaze, and he could observe the heavens, earth, and people with unparalleled clarity.
Moreover, the Five Elements Spirit Eyes laid a solid foundation for future growth.
Over time, Ning Changge could integrate additional insights, allowing the Spirit Eyes to evolve into an even greater divine ability.
Having comprehended a new divine ability, Ning Changge was in high spirits.
He waved his hand, and the Mountain River Spirit Gathering Furnace, once the size of a building, shrank to a grain of rice and returned to his dantian.
Golden Spirit knelt before Ning Changge, bowing nine times in gratitude.
“Golden Spirit thanks Master for his guidance!”
Ning Changge smiled and nodded.
“Your achievements are the result of your own hard work. A master can only guide; the path must be walked by the disciple.”
“However, remember this trial. Cultivation requires patience and perseverance. Impatience can ruin your future.”
Golden Spirit kowtowed repeatedly. “Master’s teachings are wise. I will remember them always.”
He now understood the dangers of his earlier impatience. What would have happened if his master hadn’t been there to help?
Seeing that Golden Spirit had taken his words to heart, Ning Changge nodded.
“You’ve successfully achieved the Four-Zhang True Form. It’s time I fulfilled my promise.”
With a flick of his finger, a beam of light entered Golden Spirit’s mind.
It was the advanced version of the Golden Armor Avatar, capable of changing size at will.
Golden Spirit was overjoyed, bowing repeatedly in thanks.
Ning Changge waved him off. “Go play. You’ve just learned to speak—I’m sure you have plenty to talk about with your senior brothers.”
Golden Spirit scampered off, leaving the senior brothers to look at Ning Changge with envy.
Ning Changge chuckled. “Don’t worry, Senior Brothers. When the time comes, all of Wudang will ascend to the Immortal Dao.”
Before spreading the Dao to the world, Ning Changge intended to ensure that every Wudang disciple could cultivate the Immortal Dao.
He had already begun preparations.
The day of Zhang Sanfeng’s centenary celebration drew closer.
The atmosphere on Tianzhu Peak grew increasingly solemn. This was the most significant event in Wudang’s history, surpassing even the destruction of the Dragon-Slaying Saber. This time, it wasn’t just the Ming Dynasty’s experts—powerhouses from across the major dynasties were converging on Wudang.
Even Land Immortals would be in attendance.
The sheer number and caliber of experts far exceeded any previous gathering.
As a result, Wudang’s disciples were on high alert. Even the most carefree among them were diligently training, determined not to embarrass their sect.
After all, while Ning Changge was incredibly powerful, a sect’s strength couldn’t rely solely on its strongest member. True strength came from the collective might of all its disciples.
Zhang Sanfeng watched this transformation with pride.
Wudang’s strength and the determination of its disciples meant more to him than anything else.
Ning Changge, meanwhile, continued his intense cultivation and reflection.
He had finally decided on the perfect gift for his master’s birthday. With that settled, he felt completely at ease, watching Song Yuanqiao and the others bustle about.
Curious about Ning Changge’s gift, even Zhang Sanfeng tried to pry it out of him.
But Ning Changge simply smiled and remained tight-lipped, leaving everyone in suspense.
As the days passed, the entire Jianghu grew restless.
Zhang Sanfeng’s centenary celebration was the talk of the land.
With experts from various dynasties arriving in the Ming Dynasty, conflicts began to arise. After all, Jianghu folk were known for their fiery tempers, and disagreements often led to drawn swords. Many who had never crossed paths before now found opportunities to test their skills against one another.
The result was a series of spectacular duels.
For example, Li Hanyi, the Snow Moon Sword Immortal of the Northern Li Dynasty, had recently dueled Ximen Chuixue, the Sword God. Their battle ended in a draw, with both sides evenly matched.
Observers claimed that both were just half a step away from the Land Immortal realm.
Their duel on a hundred-zhang-wide river had sliced half the river in two with their sword energy.
Similarly, the legendary blade master Fu Hongxue had clashed with Song Que, the Heavenly Blade of the Sui Dynasty’s Song Clan. Due to his youth, Fu Hongxue narrowly lost to the more experienced Song Que.
Even Xu Fengnian, the heir of the Northern Liang Dynasty, made a name for himself.
He defeated several renowned Jianghu experts, including Duan Yu of the Dali royal family and Murong Fu of the Murong Clan. Having recently mastered his martial arts, Xu Fengnian planned to visit Wudang, hoping to retrieve the remains of the Sword Emperor Jiuhuang. He believed this might be his chance.
One duel after another erupted across the Jianghu.
In the past month, the Ming Dynasty’s martial world had become a lively stage, almost like a prelude to the centenary celebration. Experts from various dynasties clashed, using their martial skills to connect and compete.
Even the Ming Dynasty’s own experts joined in, adding to the excitement.
The atmosphere was electric.
However, no battles between Land Immortals had occurred yet, leaving many disappointed.
All eyes turned to Tianzhu Peak.
Everyone knew that if a battle between Land Immortals were to happen, it would undoubtedly take place there.
Anticipation reached a fever pitch. Thɪs chapter is updated by n0velfire.net
Countless Jianghu experts began gathering at the base of Wudang Mountain.
Finally, the day arrived.
Zhang Sanfeng’s centenary celebration had begun.
The heroes of the world gathered at Wudang!
