Incredible Insight: Cultivating Immortality at Eight, Astonishing Zhang Sanfeng-Chapter 189
Chapter 189
All eighty-one disciples were masters at the Grandmaster Realm or higher. At the center stood nine disciples at the Peak Grandmaster Realm.
The crowd was stunned.
Grandmasters were not uncommon, but these were Wudang’s third-generation disciples!
Among them was a small figure, no more than eight or nine years old.
An eight-year-old Grandmaster—what kind of monstrous talent was this?
The disciples moved in perfect harmony, their swords forming a dazzling formation.
The Nine-Nine Unity Sword Formation!
Xu Fengnian’s expression grew serious.
He realized that if he were caught in this formation, he might not emerge unscathed. The realization sent a chill down his spine.
He had thought the rumors of Wudang’s strength were exaggerated. Now, he understood they were only the tip of the iceberg.
This centenary celebration would undoubtedly reveal the full extent of Wudang’s foundation.

The sword dance concluded, and the disciples stood respectfully.
Even the Land Immortals nodded in approval. While they were not as shocked as the Heaven-Man experts, they were impressed by the talent on display. It was clear that in a few decades, Wudang’s strength would be unparalleled.
Zhang Sanfeng smiled, his heart swelling with pride.
“Excellent! Truly excellent! I am very pleased with your gift.”
“But remember, as disciples of Wudang, you must train diligently and avoid arrogance. Martial arts are meant to protect the Dao, not to bully others.”
The disciples responded in unison:
“We will remember Grandmaster’s teachings!”
The crowd was filled with admiration for Zhang Sanfeng’s wisdom and humility.
—
As the third-generation disciples stepped back, the Seven Heroes of Wudang stepped forward.
Their presence was commanding, their auras revealing that all seven had reached the Heaven-Man Realm.
Even the Land Immortals were intrigued.
What gift would the Seven Heroes present?
And more importantly, what would Ning Changge, the Little Immortal, offer as his gift?
Surely, he would save his for last.
The crowd was filled with anticipation and curiosity as countless gazes turned toward the Seven Heroes of Wudang.
Zhu Wushi, standing among the guests, was utterly stunned.
He had been present during the destruction of the Dragon-Slaying Saber and remembered that most of the Seven Heroes were at the Grandmaster Realm, with only two or three at the Peak Grandmaster Realm. But now, all seven had ascended to the Heaven-Man Realm!
What kind of monstrous progress was this?
Even with his Absorbing Power Technique, such rapid advancement seemed impossible. His expression turned blank, his mind struggling to process the sight.
The crowd was equally astonished by the Seven Heroes’ rapid progress. They watched as Song Yuanqiao and the others stepped forward, each holding a black-and-white Daoist robe as thin as cicada wings. The audience was puzzled, their eyes filled with curiosity.
It was understandable to present Daoist robes as a gift.
Those with discerning eyes quickly noticed that the robes were extraordinary, likely woven from thousand-year-old ice silkworm threads, making them impervious to blades and fire.
But why seven robes?
What was the significance?
Song Yuanqiao and the others bowed respectfully to Zhang Sanfeng, their voices filled with reverence.
“Disciple Yuanqiao (and the others) wishes our master boundless blessings and longevity. We humbly request permission to use the power of the Seven Stars to celebrate your birthday!”
Zhang Sanfeng stroked his beard, his eyes filled with warmth.
The specific gift didn’t matter to him. What touched him most was his disciples’ filial piety. To receive such a tribute in front of the world’s heroes was a testament to his success as a teacher, filling him with pride.

As Song Yuanqiao finished speaking, the Seven Heroes began to move.
With a resonant sound, the Seven Stars Swords were unsheathed from their waists. Each of the Seven Heroes held a sword in one hand and a Daoist robe in the other, aligning themselves with the formation of the Big Dipper. Their sword intent surged skyward!
The seven figures moved with a breathtaking elegance, surpassing even the earlier Nine-Nine Unity Sword Formation.
This was the Seven Stars Sword Formation!
Subtle traces of celestial energy began to descend.
The crowd’s expressions turned serious.
Even without fully understanding the formation, they could sense its terrifying power. Xie Xiaofeng and Zhu Wushi exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.
In the past, the Seven Heroes had used this formation to battle Dongfang Bubai.
Now, with all seven at the Heaven-Man Realm, they could easily suppress even Zhu Wushi and Xie Xiaofeng if they joined forces.
The difference was staggering.
The crowd was filled with waves of emotion.
From the lowest disciples to the highest masters, Wudang had no shortage of outstanding figures. It was truly awe-inspiring.
Even the Land Immortals, who had been chatting and laughing, paused to observe. Their heightened cultivation allowed them to perceive the profound mysteries of the formation. Some even felt a faint sense of threat—an astonishing revelation.
Li Changsheng, the Sword Immortal of Kunlun, couldn’t help but exclaim, “Daoist Zhang, was this formation your creation?”
Zhang Sanfeng chuckled. “Not at all. This was devised by Changge. It is called the Seven Stars Sword Formation and is capable of harnessing the power of the stars. Its mysteries are endless.”
The crowd instinctively turned to Ning Changge, their curiosity piqued.
“The Little Immortal truly lives up to his reputation,” Li Changsheng said with admiration.
Ning Changge responded with a polite smile and bow.
—
As the conversation continued, the Seven Heroes completed the formation. Celestial energy poured down from the heavens, resonating with the seven peaks of Wudang. Even in broad daylight, seven beams of light were faintly visible, leaving the crowd astonished.
Rumors of Wudang’s Seven Stars Spirit-Gathering Formation had circulated before, but today they witnessed a glimpse of its power.
“Seven Stars Spirit-Gathering, Seven Stars Daoist Robes—complete!” Song Yuanqiao shouted.
The Seven Heroes simultaneously tossed their Daoist robes into the air.
