Shenxiao Mountain, a large river named after the Shenxiao Sect, was never considered a top-tier river mountain in the world, at least compared to Dragon Tiger Mountain, Taihe Mountain, Five Peaks, and other top-tier river peaks. It became a sacred land of Taoism only when the Feather Guests of Jinmen held sway over the world.
Once, Shenxiao Mountain was renowned worldwide due to Jinmen Feather Guests’ influence, only to become unknown after the decline of the Shenxiao Sect.
However, with the rise of Pei Xuanjing, Shenxiao Mountain once again became one of the ancestral lands of Taoism, being admired and revered as a holy place for cultivation, basking in endless light and glory.
Particularly as Pei Xuanjing grew in strength, the position of Shenxiao Mountain in the world became increasingly exalted. Even the emperor of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, in an effort to curry favor with Pei Xuanjing, issued several edicts to confer titles upon Shenxiao Mountain in recognition.
As the saying goes, “A mountain does not have to be high to be famous; it only needs a deity. A river does not have to be deep to be spiritual; it merely needs a dragon.”
When Pei Xuanjing suppressed the Taixu Venerable, a Spirit Realm Ninefold at their strongest, and truly stood at the pinnacle, regardless of its past, Shenxiao Mountain became one of the famous divine mountains in the world, its name resonating in the minds of countless formidable beings.
With the rejuvenation of the world of Daming and the favoritism shown to Pei Xuanjing by the will of Heaven and Earth, even if he hadn’t deliberately paid attention, the benefits accrued to Shenxiao Mountain were unparalleled.
Especially in recent years, Pei Xuanjing presided over Shenxiao Mountain, refining the Taixu Mirror, cultivating Taoist skills, and comprehending the Small Thousand World, allowing him to delve deeply into understanding what makes up the world. Under such circumstances, Shenxiao Mountain was nourished to a great extent, with a significant increase in Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, numerous spiritual treasures growing, and wild beasts gaining intelligence, all of which led to a significant increase in the cultivation base of cultivators.
Ten years flashed by in an instant, and the time for Pei Xuanjing to invite powerful individuals from all over to Shenxiao Mountain for a Daodiscussion was fast approaching.
Back then, a towering mountain rose straight from the ground, so tall it pierced through the clouds, with clouds and fog curling around the continuous mountain range, completely obscuring the scene above.
However, as the time for Pei Xuanjing to invite the mighty to explore Dao approached, Pang Hong, the only direct disciple of Pei Xuanjing, returned to Shenxiao Mountain early to help Pei Xuanjing with various matters.
After all, this Daodiscussion was not only for Pei Xuanjing to broadcast his voice to the world’s strongest but also the first meeting and clash between the native forces that Pei Xuanjing represented and the newly returning strong from the Sky Wasteland.
This Daodiscussion is seen by many as a grand event, where numerous strong people can clash, yet the experience will also determine the direction that Heaven and Earth will take next.
Whether Pei Xuanjing, who represents the inherent power of the Daming World’s ancestral land, is willing to relinquish the substantial benefits he currently holds, and how these local forces view this ancestral land, whether a compromise can be reached, will all be settled—or at least a mutual understanding will be reached—through this Daodiscussion.
So, it wasn’t only Pang Hong. All the native powers originally belonging to the Daming World sent strong individuals. At this time, they absolutely had to show a unified attitude with Pei Xuanjing, especially those forces without any powerful backing; they needed Pei Xuanjing to speak out, relying on his might to deter those who coveted, as they had absolutely no chance of resisting the pack of wolves from the Sky Wasteland with their current strength.
While the emperor of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty did not come in person, he sent an avatar. Accompanied by the Witch God Sect Leader, Prince of Xiang Zhu Yousong, and many other powerful individuals, they arrived near Shenxiao Mountain.
As for the various forces of the Sky Wasteland, they sent representatives concurrently. While the top-tier forces were not too concerning, ordinary forces and Independent Practitioners waited around Shenxiao Mountain, each using their methods, hoping to enter Shenxiao Mountain and participate in this grand event.
However, they have overthought it. With Pei Xuanjing’s magnanimity, he would never be like other forces. Pei Xuanjing had already instructed Pang Hong that as long as Shenxiao Mountain can bear the load and those who wish to come are not malevolent and wicked criminals; they will not be blocked as long as they cause no disturbances.
Yu Zhenzi and Pang Hong stood at the mountain gate. They looked at each other and smiled bitterly at the corners of their mouths.
It couldn’t be helped; after all, the Shenxiao Sect had risen to prominence too quickly, or rather, Pei Xuanjing had risen too swiftly. His growth left many disciples of the Shenxiao Sect behind, making Yu Zhenzi and Pang Hong the only ones to greet the various powers today.
Even though Yu Zhenzi had already entered the Spirit Realm Sixth Level with the help of Pei Xuanjing, upon seeing these emerging powerful individuals one after another, he felt somewhat numb. Even seeing many Cultivators of the Spirit Realm Eightfold, he was not surprised when a Cultivator of the Spirit Realm Sevenfold appeared.
Pang Hong had similar thoughts. He was only at the Fourth Level of the Spiritual Realm now, but considering himself a disciple of Pei Xuanjing and seeing those Spirit Realm Eightfold cultivators treating him kindly, it made him feel proud. He recognized the strength of his master clearly.
If it were not for his master, today he would not even be able to stand here on Shenxiao Mountain to greet the powerful individuals from various factions, let alone get their friendly faces. Even the qualification to talk to these powerful individuals would be non-existent.
When one person succeeds, even his pets will rise to heaven. This proverb proved to be true.
Not only is Pang Hong similar in thoughts, but Yu Zhenzi also shares the same recognition.
He, Yu Zhenzi, was merely a remnant of the Shenxiao being pursued and killed by the Daming Empire back then. He met the not yet successful Sect Leader (True Person) and chose, willingly, to be at his disposal. With the Sect Leader’s might, he rose all the way up to today, not only did his cultivation attain the Sixth Level of the Spiritual Realm, but he also had the privilege to engage in pleasant conversations with the top powers returning from the Sky Wasteland, which he dared not even dream of before.
The feeling made Yu Zhenzi sigh, a person’s growth, sometimes in addition to their effort, the choices they make are crucial. Once you make the right choices, you will have a great force pushing you forward.
Not only Yu Zhenzi, but the strong individuals of all factions coming back and forth, looking at the two who greeted them, Pang Hong and Yu Zhenzi, a Spirit Realm Six cultivator and a Spirit Realm Four cultivator, made many Spirit Realm Seven strong individuals feel sour.
After all, although they were powerful individuals with top-tier backgrounds, they had hardly any access to the strongest individuals in their respective forces. Unlike the two of them, one was a confidant of the national teacher, and the other was the direct disciple of the strongest individual. Such honor was something others could only long for.
Especially for Pang Hong, who would receive frequent guidance from the strongest individual, was even enviable to many Spirit Realm Eightfold cultivators.
