Chapter 843: Chapter 496: Great Sage Equalling Heaven!
On that night at Wudang Mountain, Chen Yuan learned so secrets about Spirit Mountain from Moluo’s mouth, and was genuinely shocked by its strength.
Such power probably far surpasses ordinary Immortal Sects.
And from its mouth, Chen Yuan also inquired about the na of that Great Demon Sage.
Moluo said:
“It was once nad Qi Tian!”
Great Sage Equalling Heaven!
For Chen Yuan, this na was undoubtedly more familiar, almost sothing he’s heard since childhood. He was even more convinced that this world must have so connection to his original world.
Because there are too many coincidences….
Holding these confusions, Chen Yuan pondered while cultivating through the night, until the morning of the next day, he slowly opened his eyes. Zuo Chengzong took him to have so Wudang Mountain cuisine, which was truly excellent, but it was a pity he wouldn’t stay too long because of it.
His matters are completed, staying at Wudang Mountain no longer serves him.
Zuo Chengzong felt a bit disappointed hearing Chen Yuan was leaving. He originally hoped Chen Yuan would stay a few more days, have the opportunity to discuss Dao and enjoy so carefree tis.
But he didn’t insist on retaining him too much, although they hadn’t interacted for long, he understood Chen Yuan’s personality well. Since he had ntioned leaving, he wouldn’t linger unnecessarily.
Moreover, Chen Yuan had to go take his position, so delays were understandable. Zuo Chengzong understood this.
When Chen Yuan arrived, he was greeted by six cranes, and he left the sa way.
Zuo Chengzong personally escorted Chen Yuan a hundred miles beyond Wudang Mountain. Such a send-off was nothing short of grand, even Yang Transformation True Masters rarely received such treatnt.
Chen Yuan looked at Zuo Chengzong and smiled:
“Brother Zuo, even when sending soone a thousand miles, there cos a ti for farewell, let… it be here.”
Zuo Chengzong nodded, clasped his hands, and said:
“Brother Chen, safe travels.”
“We’ll have the chance to et again soday, Brother Zuo, I’m off.” Chen Yuan laughed heartily and leapt away, transforming into a stream of light gradually disappearing into the void.
Watching the direction he departed, Zuo Chengzong paused for a mont, faintly smiled, waved a hand, and the Immortal Crane beneath him called out, soaring straight into the sky.
Wudang Mountain summit.
Zuo Chengzong bowed toward the front:
“Disciple greets the Ancestor.”
“Has Chen Yuan left?”
“He has left.”
“How is this young man?”
“He surpasses this disciple several tis over, admired from the heart.”
The old Heavenly Master gently stroked his long beard, smiled faintly, and nodded:
“Though this young man’s talent is astounding and unmatched, you shouldn’t be overly humble. I regard you as the future Heavenly Master of Wudang Mountain.”
“Disciple understands.”
Zuo Chengzong nodded solemnly.
He knew how heavy the responsibility on his shoulders was and understood how challenging his origins were. Wudang Mountain had paid a great price for him.
“I won’t talk much about idle words. Cultivate, strive to catch up to Chen Yuan in cultivation, living in the sa era as him is a fortune for each of you.”
“Yes.”
Zuo Chengzong respectfully saluted, sat cross-legged, and suddenly, a sword’s cry resounded through heaven and earth. Within the True Martial Hall, an ancient bronze sword erupted with powerful Dao Yun.
And above the Nine Heavens, mighty thunderclouds began to accumulate.
…
…
After separating from Zuo Chengzong, Chen Yuan headed straight for Liangzhou City with incredible speed, exploiting his swiftness to the fullest, as if like the wind.
Regarding this trip’s destination, Liangzhou City, Chen Yuan had previously understood that it’s sowhat different from other state cities; Liangzhou City is located near the border.
It’s not within Liangzhou itself.
Its legacy is quite ancient, having established a city since the ti of the forr Chu, guarding the frontier and defending against enemies, it has always been a crucial military stronghold, collectively known with Youzhou City as the border control.
Liangzhou’s reputation is greater than Youzhou partly because its geographical location is more suited for the Northern Barbarians to breach and secondly because Wei Jinfeng, the fourth on the Supre List, King of Beiliang, is stationed there.
Chen Yuan had also learned from Zhang Yantong so situations about Liangzhou City’s two Golden Envoys, one nad Huangfu Qi, the other Feng Jiuying, each backed by two Divine Envoys, so essentially no one yields to the other.
This stirred inner conflict.
Huangfu Qi was the senior Golden Envoy of Liangzhou but was sowhat sidelined by King Liang, seeking assistance from the court, which coincided with when Chen Yuan first ca to the Capital.
Back then, Jingtai didn’t want Chen Yuan to take over as Eastern Imperial City Bureau Commander, thus seizing the chance to appoint Feng Jiuying to Liangzhou to assist Huangfu Qi in stabilizing matters, conveniently making space for Chen Yuan.
But at that ti, Chen Yuan sought only to rescue Moluo, and the post of Imperial City Departnt Commander was imperative, so he feigned misunderstanding Jingtai’s words, deliberately provoking a feud with Yang Yuanqing.
The opponent took the bait, agreeing that the winner would assu the role of Imperial City Departnt Commander.
However, this irritated Jingtai, who stated the loser would get nothing, and soone else would be chosen for the Outer City Command. Fortunately, in the end, Chen Yuan crushed Yang Yuanqing in success to take office.
Thus, Feng Jiuying’s promotion was sowhat linked to Chen Yuan, but he didn’t perform well, being unwilling to play second to anyone, and relying on the support of Divine Envoys, openly usurped power.
But how many Golden Envoys stationed outside have no factions or backgrounds?
Huangfu Qi was not afraid of Feng Jiuying, leading their forces to start open and clandestine battles.
Actually, having two Golden Envoys per state is not uncommon, sotis even a Dan Realm Master can’t hold ground, and Yang Transformation Realm True Masters have to temporarily assu command, let alone Dan Realm Golden Envoys.
By unwritten custom, whoever holds greater power between two Golden Envoys will prevail and take the leading position, but this ti both sides are evenly matched.
