"It is said that when the martial arts competition took place at Mount Hua, Wang Chongyang, the founder of the Quanzhen School, had just entered the realm of divine travel."
"With this strength, he has already surpassed the other four masters and won the respect of the world."
"But today, the Machine Immortal said that there are people wandering in the mystical realm everywhere on Xia Ke Island, which is simply unbelievable."
Wang Yuyan said softly.
Murong Fu clenched his fists, his eyes burning with intensity.
This is exactly what he has always dreamed of.
Back then, the Murong family had a genius named Murong Longcheng, who was invincible throughout the martial arts world by relying on his ability to travel through the mystical realm.
In his view, if he could break through to the Divine Realm, he could at least increase his chances of restoring his kingdom by three points.
This path was originally extremely difficult, and even he himself didn't have much confidence.
But now, he sees hope.
"Now that the storytelling is over, let's find out when the two envoys who reward good and punish evil will appear next. I'm going to meet them."
Murong Fu suddenly spoke.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the private room showed expressions of surprise.
A'Zhu quickly said, "Young master, are you going to Xia Ke Island? That's absolutely not going to do."
“That’s right, Xia Ke Island is too dangerous. If you go there, you might not come back.”
Deng Baichuan, the head of the four stewards, said calmly.
Murong Fu stubbornly replied, "Xia Ke Island is a sacred place for cultivating immortality, and the Tai Xuan Jing is also a supreme and wonderful method. What danger could there be? Those people who were trapped inside can only be described as stupid. If it were me, I would definitely be able to comprehend the mysteries of the Tai Xuan Jing."
"My cousin's talent in martial arts is indeed very high."
"But even the leaders and experts from various sects of the Ming Dynasty invited by the Dragonwood Island Master failed to comprehend the Tai Xuan Scripture, which shows how difficult it is."
"Moreover, although the Tai Xuan Jing is good, the Murong family's unique skills are not bad either. If my cousin focuses on cultivation, he may be able to break through to the Divine Travel Xuan Realm."
Wang Yuyan said softly.
Murong Fu had made up his mind and wouldn't listen to anyone's advice. He firmly said, "Cousin, you're wrong! How could my pursuit of Xia Ke Island be merely a spiritual transcendence?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yuyan finally understood Murong Fu's true purpose.
Chapter 117 Unbelievable
He clearly intended to use the "Tai Xuan Jing" to reach the realm of a terrestrial immortal, or even to completely comprehend the "Tai Xuan Jing" and break through to become a terrestrial celestial being!
Currently, it seems that only the "Tai Xuan Jing" can achieve his goal.
Thinking of this, she couldn't persuade him any further and could only sigh softly.
In the fifth private room on the west side of the fourteenth floor.
"So that's why the two envoys who reward good and punish evil appear every sixteen years."
"Those martial arts masters who were taken away did not die; they were simply drawn to the Tai Xuan Scripture and remained on the island."
Shangguan Haitang spoke calmly, her doubts finally resolved.
As the head of the number one manor in the world, she was responsible for collecting intelligence on the entire Ming Dynasty, so she naturally knew all about these secrets.
But like other top experts, she always regarded the two envoys of reward and punishment as a terrible disaster, believing that all those invited were no longer alive.
"Haitang, if I remember correctly, this year should be the sixteenth year, right?"
Zhu Wushi suddenly asked.
Shangguan Haitang replied, "That's right. To be precise, the two envoys who reward good and punish evil will appear in three months."
"Does the Divine Marquis also want to go to Xia Ke Island?"
Duan Tianya asked curiously.
Zhu Wushi shook his head and said, "I have to stay at the Dragon Guard Manor and can't go to Xia Ke Island, but this is a rare opportunity. We can send a few talented spies there to learn."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Shifei, Duan Tianya, Guihai Yidao, and the others all had their eyes light up.
“The Divine Marquis is right! Although Xia Ke Island is dangerous, it is indeed a good place for cultivation.”
"If someone can fully comprehend the Tai Xuan Jing in the future, the people on the island will be able to leave and won't be trapped on the island for their entire lives."
"When the spies we sent out return, the strength of the Dragon Guard Manor will definitely increase significantly."
Shangguan Haitang couldn't help but offer a compliment.
Zhu Wushi nodded and said in a deep voice, "I'll leave this matter to you."
"I obey my orders."
Shangguan Haitang agreed without hesitation.
After they finished speaking, they all stopped and turned their gazes toward Bai Yutai.
Although the Dragonwood Island Master has not fully comprehended the immortal path part of the "Tai Xuan Jing", he is close to the final step and has mastered all kinds of top-level martial arts.
In addition, he possesses the cultivation level of a peak terrestrial immortal, making his true combat strength absolutely top-tier below terrestrial celestial beings.
Even so, the two of them could only rank fifth on the list of the most outstanding figures in the Ming Dynasty.
This made them very curious about just how strong the experts ranked ahead of the Dragonwood Island Master were.
Su Chen leisurely sipped his tea until more and more people around him looked at him, then he put down his teacup and said loudly:
"Next, let's comment on the next expert on the list."
"Zhang Sanfeng ranks fourth on the list of the most outstanding."
"This person on the list should be familiar to people in the martial arts world."
"Because he is not only recognized as the longest-lived person in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty, but also as the strongest."
"His status in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty was so high that it even surpassed that of martial arts legends, making him a leading figure in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty."
"Moreover, Zhang Sanfeng also enjoys extremely high prestige among the Taoist sects throughout the world, and is recognized as the grandmaster of Taoism by all major Taoist sects."
"And Zhang Sanfeng is fully deserving of these praises."
"He was born with an innate Dao body, making him a natural cultivator. After a hundred years of cultivation, his own realm has reached that of a terrestrial celestial being."
"Furthermore, he spent fifty years studying and creating Tai Chi Chuan, in which the meaning of 'Tai Chi' is in harmony with the Way of Heaven, thus pioneering the Taoist lineage."
"The Tai Chi Swordplay derived from this is even more profound and powerful, not much less so than the swordplay in the Tai Xuan Jing."
"When I commented on the sword immortals before, I ranked Lang Fanyun as the number one swordsman of the Ming Dynasty."
"Actually, that was to highlight Zhang Sanfeng."
“In terms of swordsmanship alone, Zhang Sanfeng is even stronger than Lang Fanyun.”
"But he doesn't consider himself a swordsman, so he's not included among the sword immortals."
"But people only know that Zhang Sanfeng's Taoist skills are profound, but few know that his foundation actually comes from a supreme Buddhist mental cultivation method."
As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, the hall erupted in chaos.
The fourth-ranked person on the Great Ming Dynasty's list of unparalleled talents is already at the Land Celestial Realm!
It's unbelievable.
A celestial being on land can easily break through the Heavenly Gate and ascend to heaven whenever they wish; they are undoubtedly top-tier masters.
Even someone like Wuming, who carries the fortune of seven hundred years, and Li Chungang, a sword genius hailed as appearing only once every five hundred years in Liyang, are only at this level.
However, because of the example set by the Dragonwood Island Master, everyone was somewhat prepared and not so shocked.
What truly shocked everyone was that the person ranked fourth was none other than Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of Wudang.
This Taoist master, who was revered as the leading figure in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty and respected by all Taoist sects, was only ranked fourth, not even making it into the top three!
Zhang Zhenren of Wudang is not among the top three on the list of the most powerful figures in the Ming Dynasty!
The news swept through Dengtiange like a storm, and everyone found it hard to believe.
Especially the heroes of the Ming Dynasty's martial arts world, who had long held Zhang Sanfeng in high esteem, regardless of whether he was righteous or evil.
Some say that Zhang Sanfeng alone could sweep through the entire Shaolin Temple.
Some say that if Zhang Sanfeng were to appear, no one in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty could withstand a single blow from him.
Su Chen's words completely overturned everyone's understanding, shattering the image of the invincible Zhang Zhenren.
In the current martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty, there are at least three people stronger than Zhang Sanfeng.
What surprised everyone the most was Su Chen's last sentence.
Zhang Sanfeng held an extremely high position among the Taoist sects, but he was originally from the Buddhist sect, and his martial arts foundation was also a divine skill from the Buddhist sect.
Immediately, the people in the hall began to discuss among themselves:
"Heavens! Did I hear that right? Master Zhang is only ranked fourth on the Ming Dynasty's list of unparalleled masters?"
"Master Zhang of Wudang is indeed worthy of his reputation. His cultivation has reached the Land Celestial Realm. I didn't expect him to only be ranked fourth."
"The martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty is too powerful! A master at the Land Celestial Realm can't even make it into the top three. It's terrifying!"
"The celestial beings on land are already at the peak of the mortal realm, and are suppressed by the rules of Haotian. With such strength, Master Zhang truly deserves the title of 'leading figure in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty'."
"That's right. It's not that Master Zhang isn't strong enough, but that the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty is just too terrifying. The number of people at the Celestial Realm on the land is probably comparable to that of the martial arts world of the Han Dynasty."
"I always thought the martial arts world of the Han and Tang dynasties was the most powerful, but now it seems that the Ming dynasty is no less impressive."
"What? Master Zhang was originally a Buddhist? Wasn't he the founder of the Wudang School of the Ming Dynasty? How did he suddenly become a Buddhist?"
"There have always been rumors in the martial arts world that Master Zhang has a deep relationship with Shaolin Temple. Is it true? And what is the divine skill that the Celestial Immortal mentioned?"
In the sixth private room on the west side of the fifteenth floor.
Lei Wujie exclaimed in surprise, "Heavens! Zhang Sanfeng has already reached the Land Celestial Realm, yet he didn't make it into the top three of the Great Ming Dynasty's Top Ranking?"
Xiao Se sighed and said, "Imperial Celestial said that the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty was full of hidden talents and that being a terrestrial immortal was the threshold for the top spot. I was already quite surprised. Now it seems that I underestimated the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty."
“Zhang Zhenren is only ranked fourth, which means that there are at least three terrestrial celestial beings above him.”
