Chapter 526: Chapter 474: Zhengyi Seal, the Ancestor Celestial Master’s Backup Plan.
Bang!
The terrifying power of the old Celestial Master was supposed to fall on Zhang Chengzhou. Even if it didn’t kill him, it would shatter his organs, break his bones, and severely injure him.
Regrettably, the treasures on his body protected him, causing him to only lose his breath, and he was knocked back, falling to the ground.
Just when he was thankful for his protective gear, the Zhengyi Seal, which had just unleashed its divine power to protect him from his chest, suddenly flew out. It turned into a golden light and directly fell into the hands of the old Celestial Master.
Everyone was astonished by this sudden occurrence; they did not understand why such a situation had taken place.
The old Celestial Master instinctively grabbed the Zhengyi Seal flying towards him, his Primordial Qi spread out to envelop it, and almost instantly, he realized what it was.
“Impossible, why not only would the Zhengyi Seal not hurt you, but it would also fall into your hands.” Zhang Chengzhou’s eyes were about to split, showing a sense of madness on his face.
The changes of the Zhengyi Seal shocked him tremendously, it felt even worse than being beaten by the old Celestial Master.
This Zhengyi Seal was the treasure of Dragon Tiger Mountain. Since both the Yin-Yang Evil-Slaying Treasure Sword and the Yang Ping Treatment Imprint were in the hands of the Ancestor Celestial Master, the Zhengyi Seal can be said to be the symbol of the current Celestial Master’s identity.
Had it not been for the fact that the Celestial Master of this generation of Dragon Tiger Mountain had not been determined, he would not have had the opportunity to return to the Ancestral Land with this item. However, even so, he could not use the Zhengyi Seal at will. Every use took considerable effort.
However, the Zhengyi Seal, which was difficult to control in his hands, lay quietly in the hands of the old Celestial Master. He found it hard to accept.
“It seems that you really don’t understand.”
The Zhengyi Seal in the old Celestial Master’s hand calmed down. Holding it in his hand, he shook his head and said, “I just thought you were so rampant, thinking you were quite capable. It turns out that you are nothing but an insignificant figure in Dragon Tiger Mountain of the Sky Wasteland.”
As soon as the Zhengyi Seal arrived in his hand, the old Celestial Master immediately understood the whole story.
This Zhengyi Seal, as a treasure refined by the Ancestor Celestial Master and symbolizing the identity of the Celestial Master on Dragon Tiger Mountain, could only be handled and used by the Ancestor Celestial Master and his successors. This was the reason why Zhang Chengzhou found it difficult to use.
Because he was not the Celestial Master, not even the candidate for the Celestial Master, he could not gain the recognition of the Zhengyi Seal. The reason why he could bring the Seal back was because the Ancestor Celestial Master had granted permission.
The old Celestial Master was different, however. As the Celestial Master of the Great Ming World and a practitioner of Dragon Tiger Mountain’s fundamental skill “Heavenly Righteous Divine Cultivation”, he was the rightful successor of the Celestial Master. Even if placed on Dragon Tiger Mountain in the Sky Wasteland and despite his weak power, he was doubtlessly a candidate for the Celestial Master simply because he cultivated this divine skill and was qualified to compete for the position of the next Celestial Master.
If the others were to combat the old Celestial Master in other ways, it would be alright. But how could the Zhengyi Seal, as the symbol of the Celestial Master, be used by outsiders to attack a successor to the Celestial Master?
After listening to the old Celestial Master’s words, Zhang Chengzhou and his companions’ expressions changed slightly as they had not considered this point.
What surprised them even more were the old Celestial Master’s next words.
“Our Ancestor Celestial Master has already anticipated the nature of people like you; that’s why he allows you to return with the Zhengyi Seal.”
The information that the old Celestial Master obtained from the Zhengyi Seal wasn’t limited to the affair of the Seal itself; it also included a small piece of imprint left by the Ancestor Celestial Master.
Although the Ancestor Celestial Master had been in seclusion and hadn’t emerged in all these years, he was very aware of the arrogance of his disciples, but felt it was not appropriate to handle the situation just yet, hence he suppressed it.
On the other hand, this time’s return to the Ancestor Land was an essential matter to reconnect the line of Dragon Tiger Mountain, and the old Celestial Master naturally couldn’t stand by. That’s why he had allowed them to bring back the Zhengyi Seal, as a means of keeping a trick up his sleeve.
Presently, the old Celestial Master had injured these people and not only will he not be punished, but he will also receive the legacy of the Ancestor Celestial Master, acquire a complete Heavenly Righteous Divine Cultivation, and take control over the Zhengyi Seal.
“This…”
The three men’s faces changed drastically as they knew that they committed an enormous error.
“Such an Ancestor Celestial Master is the one I had in my heart.”
The old Celestial Master sighed lightly, his heart holding more favor towards the Ancestor Celestial Master, reducing his resentment towards those who had tarnished Dragon Tiger Mountain in the Sky Wasteland significantly.
“The three of you will be held accountable by the Ancestor Celestial Master in due time. But for now, I will seal your powers so you won’t continue to create havoc,” said the old Celestial Master in a deep voice.
He activated the Zhengyi Seal, sealing the power of the three men. In the face of the old Celestial Master’s actions, their faces were grim, but they dared not resist at all.
The Ancestor Celestial Master was their sky; since it’s an order from the Ancestor Celestial Master, they would not dare to oppose it unless they had the intention of defecting.
In Tiandu, at the Taoist Temple where Pei Xuanjing was located.
“It seems that the power of our old Celestial Master is anything but ordinary!” Pei Xuanjing looked through the message sent by the old Celestial Master and said lightly.
The old Celestial Master faithfully relayed what happened on Dragon Tiger Mountain, without withholding any matter, except for some secrets of Dragon Tiger Mountain conveyed by the words of the Ancestor Celestial Master.
Pei Xuanjing was not surprised at all that the old Celestial Master suppressed a powerful man in the Spirit Realm Level Five. Although he had never sparred with the old Celestial Master, they had interacted a lot, and he could approximately gauge the other party’s power.
Not just the old Celestial Master, regardless of Qingxu, Chunyang, Zhao Baiyang, Xue Wuheng, or this Bai Xiaosheng in front of him, did they genuinely only display the strength they showed on the surface?
Pei Xuanjing wouldn’t believe that. Each of these old foxes that had been immersed in the martial world for countless years, which of them isn’t extremely cunning and excelled in concealing their abilities?
Especially these several powerhouses of the Taoist School, with him taking the lead to exert his efforts, naturally, they would not easily display all of their strengths.
In the face of Pei Xuanjing’s half-smiling gaze, Bai Xiaosheng could also guess that Pei Xuanjing was thinking about how they were all concealing their true powers.
However, he also didn’t feel any embarrassment or awkwardness, and agreed with a laugh. “This older Celestial Master has been famous for over two hundred years, he’s only a bit younger than a few old figures of the Buddhism School who have retreated from the world. Nobody knows what he’s capable of. You know, the greatest ability of Dragon Tiger Mountain is not the Thunder Method of Martial Studies, nor the cultivation of the physical body, but the method of controlling the Ghost God!”
He didn’t want Pei Xuanjing to pay extra attention to him, so he promptly pushed the old Celestial Master to the front and pointed out that the old Celestial Master certainly still had hidden reserves.
After all, in all these years since the revival of Heaven and Earth, the method of controlling Ghost God from Dragon Tiger Mountain had been lost and was gradually unknown to the people, but he, Bai Xiaosheng, remembered it clearly and would definitely not forget.
“Zhengyi Alliance Prestige, the Ghost Gods obey. With such a method, how could I forget? You should know that my Shenxiao Sect derives from Zhengyi and is influenced by the Zhengyi Seal,” Pei Xuanjing said with a light laugh.
