Wild Grass Peak.
Two high individuals bathed in a sea of clouds, each with a ’Celestial Gate ajar’ behind them, one in the north and the other in the south, facing each other.
The remaining strong sect experts, even if they are all figures of paramount status within their sects, at this moment...
They have become mere foils.
For in the march towards the fourth step, initiating an assault towards higher ’Zhenren Level’ mastery,
they are at least a grade below Zuo Shanhe and Luotian Daoist.
The skirmishes at the mountain’s base have ended.
From the Life and Death Mountain and River Sect, that youngster, who is several times younger than anyone present or even any young member of the sect, took a step forward and instantly became a Top-grade Primordial Pill, astonishing all present.
This kind of talent and aptitude, if nothing unexpected happens, after Zuo Shanhe, even in another hundred years, the Life and Death Mountain and River Sect would... not decline.
Moreover, he seems to have possibly cultivated the ’True Man Technique’ that Zuo Shanhe further refined...
If, in this generation, the Luotian Daoist can still claim to have received the ’Ancestor’s Inheritance’, thereby reaching the edge of a True Master’s comprehension and seeing the outline of the Celestial Gate,
thus daring to West Cross Tongye, intending to use Zuo Shanhe, his ’Heart Demon’ of half a lifetime, to break through his bottleneck and achieve perfection, surpassing him.
This junior, Li Treading Immortal, has already impressively suppressed all of his peers.
Given a bit more time.
Even contending with the older generation may not be impossible.
After all, being born in this era of ’flourishing cultivation’, as long as one has sufficient talent and aptitude to break through the two mark thresholds of ’Dragon Tiger Divine Power’ and ’Celestial Human Domain’...
In all the world, there are many of today’s top-tier experts, who within ten years, are able to achieve this. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
In the third step, the ’by the books’, methodically practiced cultivation gateways, cannot hinder such prodigies.
When Luotian Daoist, after adjusting his breath and maintaining his vitality, finally saw Mu Qianqiu, whom his sect had painstakingly cultivated, get knocked unconscious by a single slap from Li Treading Immortal,
and then revive unstunned, determined to always follow Li Treading Immortal, seeking any flaw to duel again, he was speechless and choked with emotion:
"Brother Mountain and River, I have not matched you in half a lifetime, and did not expect the disciples of my sect to lag so far behind your late-in-life Closed-door Disciple..."
"The gap is indeed so vast."
With a purple robe and flamboyant hair and beard, Luotian Daoist stood with his Celestial Gate slightly ajar behind him, somewhat bitter.
When he first met Zuo Shanhe in his youth, by then Zuo Shanhe was already long famed as the ’Mountain and River Immortal’.
And at that time, setting foot above the ’World’s First Mysterious Sect’ Luotian Sect, Luotian Daoist was right there on the scene.
At that time, he was still invisible.
The Luotian Sect had many talented peers, and those older.
They surrounded that plaque inscribed with the words ’Luotian’,
Witnessed Zuo Shanhe, determinedly invited by the old Sect Leader for the second time, decisively defeating the old Sect Leader as he insisted on debating the title of ’Strongest Leader’. Paying a courtesy, claiming not to covet empty fame and that external chatter did not reach his ears, he then gracefully departed.
Made the then Luotian old Sect Leader so angry, he vomited blood from pent-up fury.
After Zuo Shanhe left, he openly pointed at him, angrily said:
"This... is the thief of my sect’s Dao!"
"Whoever can defeat him in the future, this sect leadership shall be theirs!"
"But... this time, my skills proved inferior, because the outside world claimed my ’Luotian Sect’ name does not live up to its reality, for the sake of the sect’s honor, I insisted Zuo Shanhe come and ended up humiliating myself, all cause and effect, are my own fault..."
"Therefore, should I pass, descendants must not seek vengeance..."
"Remember only to honor the sect’s glory, that suffices, suffices..."
Having said that, within three days, his life ended, suddenly passing away, seven or eight tenths of the sect’s brothers were indignant, all believing it was Mountain and River Immortal who angered the old Sect Leader to death.
But this one was at the time, already an unparalleled expert in an era without revival of cultivation practices, even with endless troubles, the Luotian Sect was no match.
Many masters and predecessors, therefore, descended the mountain in dissatisfaction to sign a ’Life and Death Contract’, never to return, people of Jianghu, in the flicker of blades and swords, dying suddenly is a common occurrence.
Since then.
Even though the Luotian Sect ancestors once produced eminent experts in magic, the Ancestor Hall continued to smoke incense, numerous texts chronicled the past glories, it could not uphold against the gradual decline.
Until the rise of Luotian Daoist, bearing the crumbling sect upon his shoulders, relocating from the then Tongye State, crossing through Ming Huang State, until reaching Fuyao State, finding a favorable mountain and water location, establishing a brand new ’Luotian Sect’. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Only then was it renewed, gradually reclaiming past glory.
For the last sixty or seventy years, he has meticulously cultivated, managed the sect, pursued the art of cultivation, and after the revival of cultivation, with his outstanding qualifications and aptitude, he has several times been on par with Zuo Shanhe, but always lagged behind a little.
Until he found, within the texts left by the Ancestors, the location of the ’Grotto Heaven Ruins’ that once belonged to Luotian Sect.
And according to the rites, knocked on the ’Grotto Heaven’ thrice, and established a connection with a wisp of the Ancestor’s Divine Soul, tearing open a fissure, transmitting the cultivation methods from the time when the Luotian Sect was at its peak, at the True Man Level.
Upon reaching the Peak of the Primordial Pill, and having some connection with the Celestial Gate.
He resolutely decided to West Cross Tongye, intending to broadly gather fellow Daoists, and have a decisive battle with Zuo Shanhe.
Retrieving everything that belonged to the Luotian Sect nearly a century ago.
Initially, upon entering Tongye State, hearing of the dissolution of the Life and Death Mountain and River Sect, and that Zuo Shanhe was near death in his twilight years.
He also felt regret.
Because the Luotian Daoist, from achieving mental and physical perfection, was only separated by Zuo Shanhe.
Having fulfilled this long-cherished wish, Luotian Daoist thought to himself, his Realm of the True Master would then be complete and flawless.
