Rumble rumble~
Above the Wushen Peak, the world changed colors, the sun and moon lost their light, and the clear sky suddenly resounded with rolling thunder. Following the thunder, dark clouds drifted, gathering more and more,
With a crash, it started pouring rain from the sky.
It seemed as if heaven and earth were weeping together.
Among millions of cultivators, those who can achieve as Earthly Immortals are exceptions, those who are favored by heaven itself.
Now, with the fall of one, heaven and earth weep together to show their sorrow.
Meanwhile, scholars across the world suddenly felt a void in their hearts, an inexplicable sense of loss, as if endless sadness filled their inner being.
These scholars, who were plunged into sorrow out of nowhere, found no source of this sadness. Helplessly, they could only pick up their pens and write some poetry to express the melancholy and loss in their hearts.
[Life is a grand dream, how often is it filled with sorrow!]
...
A generationâs Confucian Saint fell on Wushen Peak, truly a fleeting appearance, leaving many unresponsive.
As he said: [Moments of brilliance, once opened, quickly fade.]
Watching the Confucian Saint transform into a sky full of brilliance, Peng Yingyu couldnât help but chant a Buddhaâs name: "Amitabha Buddha!"
At the same time, a flash of enlightenment arose within him, indescribable yet deeply felt, as he sensed lifeâs fleeting nature, Peng Yingyu regained a hint of the Buddha Heart.
Like this, unknown for how long, everyoneâs mood remained low, but at this moment, Peng Yingyu suddenly spoke.
"Amitabha Buddha, the person is gone, we need not say much more, just follow the Confucian Saintâs words."
Hearing this, Sword God Li Siqi also spoke: "Thatâs right, according to Confucian Saintâs wish, the Wushen Inheritance of the Feng Family should go to those destined. And we shouldnât enter the Wushen Valley; whoever wishes to obtain the Wushen Inheritance should enter the cave."
As the two spoke, no one else had other ideas since two leaders had spoken. If you donât agree, what do you amount to!
After saying this, Liu Futong said: "We, from the Zoroastrian Sect, will send two people, the Undying Bird Han Miaozhen and Elder Tigercrest Lord of the Twelve Elders!"
Upon hearing this, Han Miaozhen stepped forward, followed by someone behind him, tall and strong, with yellow eyes full of killing intent, sparse beard, looking like a fierce tiger.
Indeed, this was Elder Tigercrest Lord, one of the Upper Four Venerables of the Zoroastrian Sectâs Twelve Elders.
The Twelve Elders of the Zoroastrian Sect are divided into the Upper Four and Lower Eight, and among the Upper Four Elders, all have Molten Furnace Lower Realm cultivation, powerful contenders for the Four Great Dharma Kings.
Among the Four Great Dharma Kings, Han Miaozhen is at the peak of Molten Furnace Lower Realm, almost reaching the Middle Realm status, while Tigercrest Lord is second only to Han Miaozhen. Given the opportunity, they might replace the Four Great Dharma Kingsâ positions; in other words, the Upper Four Venerables are future Dharma King candidates.
Back in the day, Elder Quan who opposed Chen Jie was one of the Lower Eight Elders, with only Dragon Realm cultivation.
It must be said, the Zoroastrian Sectâs accumulation is terrifyingly deep. If all external people were brought back, the three venerables Peng Yingyu, the leading Dharma King, Sea Dragon Fang Guozhen, all returned to Zoroastrianism, and the Sect would be the worldâs strongest. Except for being one Earthly Immortal less, they could actually contend fiercely with the court.
Unfortunately, due to various reasons, everyone eventually went their separate ways, resulting in the current state.
But even so, their foundation is terrifyingly deep.
Now Liu Futong dispatched two Molten Furnace Realm experts to enter Wushen Valley to seize the Wushen Inheritance.
This inheritance is valuable for Liu Futong as well. The Ming King is dead, but the Little Ming King Han Linâer still lives. Now, as the Little Ming King is young and struggles to win over the crowd, obtaining this inheritance to help him enter the Molten Furnace Realm would be persuasive. This is also Liu Futongâs purpose for the trip.
Why didnât the Little Ming King come along? Liu Futong dared not risk it, knowing the Little Ming King is the courtâs primary adversary now. He differs from Xu Shouhui, who declared himself emperor, yet wasnât taken seriously by the court.
Considered merely a minor annoyance.
But the Little Ming King is different â having declared himself emperor, countless now see him as the rightful ruler, rebelling under his banner. Thus, heâs a major threat to the court, and only hiding at Bright Peak ensures safety. Daring to flaunt himself, risks being assassinated by courtâs experts, something Liu Futong cannot afford to gamble on.
Moreover, thereâs also a potential threat to Bright Peak now; Prime Minister Tuotuo has presented a [Six Great Sects Attacking Bright Peak] plan to Your Majesty.
The plan involves, with the Six Major Sects at the helm, additional Jianghu forces, and the courtâs Northwest Army plus Treasure Elephant Army, totaling two hundred thousand troops attacking Bright Peak to entirely seize it.
To destroy the thousand-year foundation of Zoroastrian Sect as well as to showcase to the world who truly rules it, making those harboring ulterior motives think twice about opposing the court.
Currently, the court is secretly contacting the Six Great Sects; reportedly, three already agreed to participate in the plan to destroy Bright Peak.
Only Master Zhang of Wudang remains uncommitted, leaving three sects uncommitted.
Thus, Little Ming King Han Linâer became the most dangerous person; indeed, this is indisputably true.
Therefore, Han Linâer did not leave his lair this time.
