The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 920 - 917: 4 Little Heavenly Masters

The seventh day.

The mist of the Dao Chu Ancient Land surrounded the ancient path formed by the brilliant glow of the dawn, imbued with mystery.

Those ancient characters seemed to have never appeared again.

All the major sects were ready, prepared to enter.

But perhaps out of fear of danger, no one rushed in, instead they waited.

On a withered mountain near the Dao Chu Ancient Land, a figure in red stood proudly atop the peak, letting the mountain wind caress her, her sleeves fluttering like an immortal.

That was a woman dressed in red.

The woman seemed to be around twenty years old, with skin like congealed fat, possessing an appearance capable of toppling nations.

She gazed at the Dao Chu Ancient Land, murmuring softly to herself, "My destiny does not lie here, but my intuition tells me there is something here that I need..."

The woman in red was none other than the chief senior sister of Li Mountain who had laid down her sword, Fang Xinyan.

In another direction, there was a simple Daoist temple.

Outside the temple were three people.

Inside the temple were six people.

The three outside were all elderly, dressed in Eight Diagrams Daoist robes, bearing talisman swords on their backs.

Inside the temple was one old man, the other five were young men and women, all dressed in Daoist robes, bearing talisman swords, gathered together.

The number of people was not many, but if outsiders were present, they would not dare to underestimate them in the slightest.

These people were none other than the True Persons from the Heavenly Master Dao of Dragon Tiger Mountain.

The talismans of Dragon Tiger Mountain were renowned as the first absolute in Daozhou, along with the arrays of the Zongheng Sect, the artifacts of the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect, and the pills of the East Desolation Medicine Pavilion, collectively known as the four great Fu Formation Qi Pill absolute arts.

In Daozhou, when cultivators talked about pills, they couldn’t avoid the East Desolation Medicine Pavilion, when they talked about artifacts, they couldn’t avoid the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect, when they talked about arrays, they couldn’t avoid the Zongheng Sect, and naturally, when they talked about talismans, they couldn’t avoid Dragon Tiger Mountain.

In fact, Daoism has ten grotto heavens, thirty-six grotto heavens, and seventy-two blessed lands, and in each tradition, talismans are essential.

However, the talismans of Dragon Tiger Mountain are extremely outstanding even among these Daoist lineages.

By comparison, the Daoist tradition in Daozhou is not abundant, and the only noteworthy one is Dragon Tiger Mountain. Coupled with the fact that talismans in Daozhou are not prosperous, Dragon Tiger Mountain stands out uniquely.

However, it’s different in Earth State.

In Earth State, Daoist traditions are everywhere, with seventy-two blessed lands, thirty-six grotto heavens, and even ten grotto heavens all having lineages.

The lineages in Earth State are basically open and covert struggles among the major Daoist traditions.

On the surface, they may claim to share the same origins, but secretly, there’s a lot of treachery.

"Master, the purple qi lotus in the Lotus Pond has fully formed."

Inside the temple, a young Taoist-looking boy spoke to the only white-bearded elder, with a hint of excitement.

The other four were also young, two men and two women.

Upon hearing this, some of them smiled happily, while others pouted in boredom.

The white-bearded elder gently stroked his long beard and chuckled, saying, "This Destiny of the Lotus will likely be among you four, a blessing indeed."

"That will most likely be Junior Sister Zhang then." The group all looked at the youngest girl among them.

The girl was not tall, maybe even a little short.

Of course, the girl couldn’t be called short; rather, she was petite and cute.

She wore a large Daoist robe, looking somewhat comical, as if a gust of wind would send her rolling on the ground.

But this person was none other than the most outstanding disciple of the current generation of Dragon Tiger Mountain—Zhang Jingtong, also known as one of the three fairies of Central Earth.

However, on Zhang Jingtong, one couldn’t see the ethereal immortal qi like Yao Yueqing, but rather a look of a worldly family’s daughter.

As to why she was called one of the three fairies, it was worth discussing.

She entered the Dao at three, became a prince at five, opened her Life Palace at seven, passed through the Heavenly Human Five Decays at nine, achieved Heavenly God Body, and entered the Saint Realm at thirteen.

This year she is seventeen, and her Daoist path is a mystery.

What is most shocking is that she never undergoes closed-door cultivation, often going down the mountain for experience.

She has slain many demons in Central Earth.

Her fairy name, one could say, was earned through battle.

She has saved many people.

It is these people who elevated her reputation to this level.

Of course, it’s also because she has this capability herself.

At this moment, upon hearing the words of several senior brothers and sisters, Zhang Jingtong shyly smiled, scratched her head, and said, "Master said I don’t have the concept of the Destiny of the Lotus; that Destiny of the Lotus should belong to my senior brothers and sisters."

The white-bearded elder couldn’t help but glare at Zhang Jingtong.

Zhang Jingtong blinked her eyes, as if asking the white-bearded elder, "Is this something I’m not supposed to say?"

The white-bearded elder slapped his forehead and said, "Forget it, there’s nothing to hide about this matter. Tong’er indeed is different from you; she doesn’t have the concept of the Destiny of the Lotus."

"Ah?!" This made the other four very surprised.

These four aren’t simple either, known as the Four Small Heavenly Masters, young in age, all are Great Masters of the Saint Realm, destined to become a generation of Heavenly Masters in the future.

Among them, that boy, named Luo Jingcheng, was one year older than Zhang Jingtong, just eighteen this year.

The other female was named Lv Jingyun, in her early twenties, the only female among the Four Small Heavenly Masters, third in seniority.

Luo Jingcheng and Zhang Jingtong had to call her Third Senior Sister, while the other two called her Third Junior Sister.

The other two, second in ranking was Wang Jingsi, a taciturn and austere young man.

The highest ranking is the leader of the Four Small Heavenly Masters, Zhou Jingdu, known as Little Heavenly Master Jingdu, already quite famous in Central Earth.

As the master of the Four Small Heavenly Masters and Zhang Jingtong, Zhao Yuanxi is not only a genuine Heavenly Master but also the current Sect Leader of Dragon Tiger Mountain.

This time, he brought three other Great Heavenly Masters and these five disciples down the mountain, which would definitely shake the world under ordinary circumstances.

The Heavenly Masters of Dragon Tiger Mountain never exceed three in number when they descend the mountain simultaneously.

This is their rule at Dragon Tiger Mountain.

But this time, it was different.

The Dao Chu Ancient Land is of great significance, and Dragon Tiger Mountain must come.

Because within the depths of the Dao Chu Ancient Land lies the True Scroll and talisman sword left by the ancestors of Dragon Tiger Mountain.

"In fact, you shouldn’t pay too much attention to the concept of the Destiny of the Lotus; if you are strong, the Destiny of the Lotus will also rise; if you are weak, that Destiny of the Lotus is just so-so."

Zhao Yuanxi said slowly, "My master often told me that the inherent strength of power is the source of powerful strength; you might think it’s nonsense now, but you’ll understand in the future..."

Still nonsense, after all.

Zhao Yuanxi, of course, didn’t say it out loud.

"The reason I’m leading you all down the mountain together this time, besides experience, is more to find your own destined path."

"Dragon Tiger Mountain has ancient scrolls that record that the Dao Chu Ancient Land contains the most extreme Dao in the world. If you can comprehend your own destined path from it, you will possibly vie for the Emperor’s position in the future."

Zhao Yuanxi bobbed his head as he spoke.

"Vying for the Emperor’s position?!" Luo Jingcheng’s face was full of surprise.

Lv Jingyun also glanced askance slightly.

Even the usually austere Wang Jingsi was taken aback.

But Zhou Jingdu and Zhang Jingtong showed no change in expression.

Zhang Jingtong directly asked, "Has Master been to the Dao Chu Ancient Land?"

Zhao Yuanxi rolled his eyes and said, "This place disappeared for ninety thousand years and only now reappears. How could I have been inside?"
