Chapter 525 General Trend (2/2)
He wiggled his fingers and smiled, ”So it's him! And you are from the Xuanzhen Temple, the disciple of one of the Seven Disciple of Xuanzhen.”
”My name is Muzhen, my master is Zhenren Chang Shengzi,” Muzhen responded with respect.
”Oh, I see. Years ago, I was collecting herbs at Mount Zhongli and saw him slaying demons with his sword. At that moment, I thought he was a rare hero among Qi cultivators. He was different from others. I wanted to meet him but something came up and I had forgotten about it,” Wen Zhong said as he touched his chin.
All of a sudden Muzhen recalled an incident. Forty years ago, Chang Shengzi roamed around and arrived at Mount Zhongli. There were five notorious ghostly spirits. Chang Shengzi brought his sword along to get rid of them. Back then, Chang Shengzi had already stepped into Primordial Spirit of celestialism and was a walking celestial of the earth. The five ghostly spirits were no match for him and he noticed someone was watching him indiscreetly. But it eventually led to nothing.
Chang Shengzi told Muzhen the story and spoke about how vast the world was and one should always be humble and careful.
Muzhen nodded, ”My master once told me about that incident. Looks like you and my master had such a relationship.”
Wen Zhong smiled, ”Xuanzhen Temple is an authentic Xuanmen. I have heard about Xuanzhen and I roughly know what favor you need from me. It is not something too difficult and it is predestined that Yinshang would replace Xia. If you are willing to follow me, there would be a lot of success for you in the future.”
Muzhen was delighted, ”The State Preceptor and you are extraordinary people, of course, I am more than willing to serve you.”
Wen Zhong laughed out loud, ”Speaking of which, he is indeed an odd person. He knew that I needed assistance in order to make things right. As long as you return to Yinshang, the affairs of Xuanzhen Temple would also be my matter.”
Wen Zhong escaped from the misfortune of the blade and troops. As a result, his Dao experience improved greatly. He also had a better understanding of the designs of nature, and Yinshang replacing Xia would be the trend of the laws of heaven. Qi cultivators would soon replace the Xia, and make cultivation mainstream. There was no other reason for the fall of Xia besides the Xia Clan who had taken their resources for granted, and the laws of heaven that were rendered damaged beyond repair.
Wen Zhong was about to recruit extraordinary people to strengthen his force. Considering that Xuanzhen Temple took the initiative to approach him, there was no reason for him to turn them down. Furthermore, the founding master of the Xuanzhen Sect was a powerful figure of the Netherworld and his Pure Yang Celestial Method was once unbeatable. Although no one knew of his current whereabouts, protecting the Xuanzhen Temple could gain him some good karma points.
Muzhen had some suspicion of Wen Zhong but he did not want to offend Wen Zhong by displaying distrust towards him. He felt that it was best that he trust Wen Zhong and be more cautious in the future.
Muzhen answered, ”I still do not know how to address you.”
A voice could be heard saying, ”He is the Grand Preceptor of Yinshang, Wen Zhong. Muzhen, you need not to be suspicious.”
The voice was peaceful and the tone was clear. It was Tianyi who was speaking.
Muzhen was shocked. Tianyi was imprisoned in Xia Stage and yet he knew what was happening beyond the stage. It was pretty scary.
Wen Zhong looked towards the direction of Xia Stage and sighed, ”He is a genius but unfortunately, my master said that Tianyi will have a trial of death that he would fail to overcome. Otherwise, he would have achieved as much as Si Wenming.”
Muzhen politely responded, ”I now understand.”
”Brother Wen, you came from far away. I want to greet you personally but unfortunately, circumstance does not allow. I hope you don't mind,” Tianyi continued speaking.
