Chapter 359: 209. The Basic Ideological Awakening of Sacred Gate Disciples

Mang Mountain is vast, almost boundless. After all, no one truly knows how large that half of the mountain that exists in emptiness really is. The part of Mang Mountain that appears in the spiritual domain also stretches far and wide, and even those cultivators who have affirmed their three truths and left their name in the annals of the Dao of Immortality struggle to see its end.

At this moment, two figures appeared near Mang Mountain, they were Yan Guilong and his attendant boy.

Yan Guilong had not altered his appearance; he looked almost the same as usual, but his attendant had changed his face. Originally, Yan Guilong’s attendant was just a common little boy, looking around seven or eight years old, but now the boy had transformed into a young man.

The attendant of Yan Guilong looked curiously at the surrounding scenery. He had followed Yan Guilong for many years and rarely left Nameless Mountain.

“Master, why don’t I summon the Mountain Patrol Envoy? He’s not qualified to warrant a personal visit from you, Master,” suggested Yan Guilong’s attendant at this time.

After they descended from Nameless Mountain, Yan Guilong attempted divination, but to no avail. His cultivation was too weak to even catch a trace of Crimson Spring Path, so they had no choice but to search around and ask others for information.

Thanks to the Alchemy Furnace puppet, Tan Shuchang had gained some fame. Although his journey to Bai Zhi Mountain had caused quite a commotion, the fact that he had offended the Immortal Clan because he had refined Gong Jing’er, and the consequent retaliation of the Gong family which destroyed the cultivators on Bai Zhi Mountain, had not yet spread.

So, after quite a roundabout effort and several days’ time, Yan Guilong finally learned of Tan Shuchang’s general whereabouts.

“Never mind, although this child is not qualified, I can’t afford to concern myself with this right now,” Yan Guilong agreed with his attendant’s suggestion, but now wasn’t the time to consider such matters.

Because he had to return the Mountain-Sea Halberd to Xuan Li as soon as possible, otherwise, the person he had painstakingly arranged to undergo the tribulation on his behalf would have been arranged in vain.

Moreover, venturing out this time carried the risk of facing tribulation.

That’s why he had been acting so discreetly.

But, just as Yan Guilong was about to head to Ghost Spirit Ridge, a group of cultivators suddenly broke through the sky on their swords.

The one leading them had a cultivation base not inferior to Yan Guilong.

“Huang Wuji, is it you, fellow Daoist?”

“Yan Guilong, Brother Yan?”

While Yan Guilong recognized the other, the other also recognized Yan Guilong.

The group of cultivators who had arrived was from Shu Mountain Immortal Sect on their third trip, led still by that Huang Wuji.

Born into a top family from the southern waters of the spiritual domain, he was a disciple of the Purple-Gold Immortal.

In Shu Mountain Immortal Sect, he was only slightly inferior to Bai Sanqi.

Apart from the ancestors who had affirmed their truths and ascended from the original Jiawu Realm, there were actually not many amongst the ranks of the South Gate Pillar who were known for affirming their three truths and leaving their name in the Dao of Immortality, as each one had practiced cultivation for no less than a thousand years.

Hence, even if these widely-recognized cultivators had not met, they had mostly heard of each other’s reputation.

And for extremely renowned three-truth cultivators like Yan Guilong and Huang Wuji, communication between them was naturally inevitable.

After all, during True Immortal lectures, such individuals were common guests.

“Brother Yan, what brings you to this place?” Huang Wuji asked with a hint of surprise.

“I heard that there is a Mountain Patrol Envoy here with a marvelous Alchemy Furnace treasure, so I specially came to have a look,” Yan Guilong nonchalantly obfuscated the truth, then inquired, “Brother Huang, why have you brought so many fellow sect members here?”

Having said that, Yan Guilong carefully observed the sword cultivators following Huang Wuji.

These sword cultivators were all from Shu Mountain Immortal Sect, not guests recruited by the Huang family from the aqua-blue waters. This distinction was very clear. However, Yan Guilong was not just looking at that; his careful scrutiny was because he noticed something subtle in the expressions of these sword cultivators.

They seemed annoyed and disgruntled, with a strange sense of having been wronged.

“Honestly, we are here to welcome back the heritage of the Path of Books to our Shu Mountain Immortal Sect. This is our third visit. The Mountain Patrol Envoy who had received the heritage of the Path of Books happened not to be at Ghost Spirit Ridge during our previous two visits,” Huang Wuji explained, managing to keep his expression natural and revealing no abnormality.

“This Daoist friend has actually received the heritage of the Path of Books?” On hearing this, Yan Guilong immediately felt an ominous sensation; if the Mountain Patrol Envoy had no significant background, he was confident he could achieve his goal, but now, if he was to return to Shu Mountain Immortal Sect with Huang Wuji, there would undoubtedly be many complications.

The longer the night, the more dreams will occur, something Yan Guilong at this moment was most reluctant to witness.

“Indeed, perhaps Heaven was unwilling to see Master’s lineage lost, thus allowing a successor to Master’s heritage to emerge,” Huang Wuji said, whose own master, the Purple-Gold Immortal, although having paid his respects to a learned bookmaster, had not actually received any heritage of the Path of Books. In fact, it wasn’t by the Path of Books that his master had ascended as a True Immortal to the Primordial Heavenly Realm but through the Sword Dao.

Had it not been for this, the Purple-Gold Immortal would not have been granted the title of Sword Path Immortal in the Immortal Court after entering.

This matter was widely known and thus there was no need to avoid discussing it.

“That is indeed a great fortune,” Yan Guilong said with a smile, concealing his true thoughts, for it was impossible to let them show on his face at this moment.
