Incredible Insight: Cultivating Immortality at Eight, Astonishing Zhang Sanfeng

Chapter 12 – Trying to Cling to a Fat Thigh

Just as they stepped out of the main hall, Yue Buqun and the other five sect leaders saw the Wudang Seven Heroes, who seemed like sculptures. Yue Buqun was about to speak, but in the next moment, their bodies stiffened, their eyes filled with intense disbelief.

Beside them, Ning Zhong couldn’t help but mutter in astonishment, “Could it be … that such an anomaly signifies the descent of a Land Immortal?”

Mr. Mo and Daoist Tianmen involuntarily swallowed hard.

Before their eyes, in the sky, a rolling column of clouds and mist formed a towering cloud pillar, pouring down into the distance like a giant funnel. Seven-coloured divine light enveloped it, and it was filled with auspicious signs. The jubilant roars of myriad creatures from the rear mountain echoed clearly, allowing people to sense the happiness of these wild animals. All these anomalies were truly astonishing.

Song Yuanqiao and the others were the first to react, and their initial shock turned into deep joy. As members of Wudang, they could clearly see the origin of this incredible phenomenon: the scripture chamber.

“Has Junior Brother really succeeded?!” The Wudang Seven Heroes were filled with excitement for Ning Changge. Only they knew that Ning Changge’s diligent efforts over the past five years were truly admirable, and now, he was finally about to achieve success. How could they not feel happy for him?

They didn’t even have time to greet Yue Buqun and the others. Instead, they immediately activated their martial techniques and flew towards the distance. Over the past few years, they had become extremely proficient in the Floating Clouds and Heavenly Feathers Technique, making them appear as light and agile as celestial beings.

This sight left Yue Buqun and the others astounded.

“Is this Wudang’s unparalleled martial technique, the Floating Clouds and Heavenly Feathers Technique?” In recent years, this technique had shone brightly in the martial world. Not only was it incredibly fast, but it also had a graceful style, making it seem like the practitioners were celestial beings. It had completely replaced Wudang’s previous superior skill, the Cloud-Stair Soaring Technique.

Yue Buqun’s eyes flashed with astonishment. “Originally, I heard that this unparalleled martial technique was not created by Master Zhang, but rather by Wudang’s mysterious and low-profile eighth disciple. I didn’t believe it, thinking it was just baseless rumors. But now, it seems quite possible!”

The others were equally shocked. It was the first time they had heard such claims, and each of them became extremely curious about this mysterious eighth disciple of Wudang. Ning Zhong’s eyes sparkled with curiosity, and Yue Lingshan couldn’t help but feel a sense of anticipation.

The group quickly activated their martial techniques and followed the path of the Seven Heroes towards the distance.

…

Inside the scripture chamber, Wudang disciples had gathered due to the increasingly intense anomalies. As the phenomena began to affect the entire Tianzhu Peak, everyone’s curiosity got the better of them.

“Is that our Junior Martial Uncle? He really has an extraordinary presence at such a young age!”

“Yes, Junior Martial Uncle has always been mysterious. Two years ago, I had the fortune to meet him once. He just glanced at me and pointed out the flaws in my practice. That’s how I was able to advance so quickly to the Innate realm!”

“Oh, I see!”

“But do you know what’s happening with Junior Martial Uncle now?”

“I don’t know, but I’ve heard some rumors. Master said Junior Martial Uncle has been in seclusion in the scripture chamber for these past years, trying to comprehend a peerless technique!”

“A peerless technique? Could it be even more extraordinary than Wudang’s Yin-Yang Infinite Technique?”

“How can you compare them?!”

…

Whispers filled the air as the disciples discussed the situation. As more and more gathered, those who were well-informed began to share their knowledge about Ning Changge. And the more they learned, the stronger their shock.

They began to realize that many of the martial techniques they were practicing had actually been created by their Junior Martial Uncle. As the discussions continued, they were left in awe.

At this moment, the Seven Heroes finally arrived.

“Greetings, Master, Senior Martial Uncles!” The disciples immediately paid their respects.

Song Yuanqiao and the others simply waved their hands and then turned their attention to Ning Changge on top of the scripture chamber.

Yue Buqun and his group were astounded when they saw Ning Changge, whose figure was almost about to be engulfed by the cloud pillar. His moon-white silhouette was barely visible, and his true appearance couldn’t be discerned. However, his aura, which was otherworldly and transcendent, was palpable.

People couldn’t sense the presence of spiritual energy, but they could faintly feel an immensely powerful aura of the heavens and earth enveloping the figure like an exiled immortal.

Yue Lingshan instinctively held her breath, and in her mind, she compared this figure to her Senior Martial Brother Linghu Chong. She couldn’t help but conclude that her Senior Martial Brother Linghu Chong wasn’t even one percent as impressive as the figure before her!

She turned to look at Linghu Chong, who wore a self-deprecating expression on his face.

“Could it be that this young hero, Ning Changge, is truly advancing into the legendary realm of a Land Immortal?” Mr. Mo’s voice trembled. Although he wasn’t the target of the intense aura that enveloped them, it still made him feel uneasy.

Song Yuanqiao and the others, seeing that Ning Changge was unharmed, let go of their worries and felt an overwhelming sense of pride.

“No, my Junior Martial Brother possesses extraordinary talents. He’s always been a rare talent. If he has indeed created a supreme technique that suits him perfectly, then it seems he’s on the path to success,” Mo Shenggu declared proudly.

Yue Buqun and the others were left dumbfounded. “So, you mean to say that this phenomenon is the result of the emergence of a supreme martial technique?”

In truth, Song Yuanqiao and the others were only partially informed about the situation. But they couldn’t afford to show weakness at this moment.

“Exactly. My Junior Martial Brother has always been low-key. If he were to set foot in the martial world one day, he would undoubtedly shake the Nine Provinces. Our Master once said that his comprehension surpasses his own!” Mo Shenggu continued.

However, Song Yuanqiao scolded him and quickly shut him up angrily. But even so, the words and phrases that leaked out shocked Yue Buqun and the others immensely.

“‘Elder Zhang himself admits inferiority. Therefore, this young man will undoubtedly become a Land Immortal in the future, and perhaps even might be a reincarnation of a true immortal!’

The hearts of everyone surged with waves. They all stared fixedly at the distant figure. In the realm of martial arts, reaching the Transcendent realm let one live for three centuries, but only those who break through to become Land Immortals could live up to five hundred years.

Currently, Wudang’s Master Zhang was only around a hundred years old in and was in the Transcendent realm. And now, Wudang had produced such a monstrous talent. It can be imagined. Wudang’s prime would last for at least five centuries!

The heads of the Five Mountains exchanged glances and made a determined decision. In the future, they must follow Wudang’s lead.

Originally, they hadn’t made up their minds until they saw Elder Zhang. However, now that they’ve seen Ning Changge, they finally decided. In the future, they will stick with Wudang. In other words, they will become vassals of Wudang. But whether Wudang was willing to accept them is another matter.

They became nervous, calculating how to attach themselves to the powerful thigh that was Wudang.

Yue Buqun and the others had thoughts swirling in their heads, while Song Yuanqiao and the others had their complete attention on Ning Changge. They were afraid that their junior would encounter any mishaps. After all, this was the first time they were witnessing such a situation.

Ning Changge naturally sensed the arrival of the crowd beneath. However, he was single-mindedly refining this rare accumulation of spiritual energy.

Time passed by slowly. The spiritual energy in Ning Changge’s dantian became more and more abundant.

First layer of Qi Refining!

Second layer of Qi Refining!

Third layer of Qi Refining!

Fourth layer of Qi Refining!

Finally.

As Ning Changge’s cultivation reached the Fourth layer of Qi Refining, the accumulation of several years was completely transformed! At this moment, he was only a stone throw away from the Fifth layer of Qi Refining realm!

The anomaly slowly dissipated. The pillar of clouds connecting heaven and earth dissipated, and Ning Changge stood tall. Although he was young, his transcendent demeanor as an exiled immortal was unmistakable.

Countless gazes were cast his way, all filled with astonishment and reverence!
