“There are only a handful of cultivators who can get here, and you are the first cultivator who can ignore the restrictions and still get here.” In front of the towering Dao gate, the golden-armored general stood with his sword in hand, his face majestic and his voice booming.

Qin Luo bowed respectfully to the golden-armored general, a smile on his face, and said softly, "Qin Luo from the Dragon Tiger Temple has come specifically to pay a visit to the Imperial Preceptor. Please inform him of my arrival."

The golden-armored general waved his hand and struck the golden bell beside him, and a deafening bell rang out in front of the Taoist gate. The sound echoed among the mountains and reached deep into the Wushang Temple.

"The bells are ringing again!"

"It seems we have another distinguished guest!"

Before long, a handsome young man emerged from Wushang Temple. He had his hair styled in a Taoist bun and wore a loose black Taoist robe, looking capable and spirited.

The handsome young man sized up Qin Luo, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Are you Daoist Qin?"

Qin Luo smiled slightly, "I am Qin Luo from Longhu Temple. May I ask how you should address me, Daoist Master?"

A hint of pride shone in the handsome young man's eyes. "My name is Pei Mu, and I am the direct disciple of the Imperial Preceptor."

Qin Luo smiled and said, "Master Pei, could you please inform the Imperial Advisor that I would like to speak with him?"

"I heard from my junior sister that you possess extraordinary magical abilities, and I would like to ask you for guidance first." Pei Mu's eyes were filled with excitement as he raised his hand, lightning crackling between his fingers.

"OK."

Qin Luo said calmly.

Some of the younger generation came to watch when they heard the bell.

"Our senior brother is always low-key. Why would we want to spar with him? It's not like him!"

"I heard that Senior Sister was captured and taken to Longhu Temple, where she was bullied by a wicked Taoist named Qin Luo. Senior Brother must want to avenge her!"

"What?! He actually dared to bully Senior Sister and even dared to come to our Supreme Temple! We must teach him a lesson!"

The younger members of Wushang Temple grew increasingly angry as they talked.

Golden lightning erupted from Pei Mu's fingertips, rushing towards Qin Luo like a thunder dragon. In an instant, the world changed color, and the juniors of Wushang Temple watched with wide eyes. "I didn't expect that Senior Brother's lightning technique has been cultivated to a state of perfection. Even a casual strike has such terrifying power."

As they were talking.

Lightning had already enveloped Qin Luo.

Qin Luo was bathed in lightning, his long hair flowing freely in the wind, and the raging lightning could not harm him in the slightest.

The younger generation around him were shocked. They did not expect that Qin Luo could be immune to lightning magic. They saw golden light emanating from Qin Luo's body, and that golden light broke through the cage formed by lightning.

The golden light on Qin Luo's body transformed into a giant hand, descending towards Pei Mu at such a speed that the latter had no time to react, and even the golden-armored general frowned.

Pei Mu's body also emitted golden light in an attempt to resist.

Boom!

Pei Mu's outer barrier was shattered. He knelt on the ground, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. A large golden hand hovered above his head without falling, and the juniors around him remained silent.

The golden-armored general had just raised his giant sword when he saw Qin Luo stop, and only then did he put the sword down.

The golden light surrounding Qin Luo disappeared. Pei Mu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and coughed, "Junior Sister is right. Daoist Qin's Daoist magic is indeed extraordinary."

The younger generation of Wushang Temple were shocked. They all knew how powerful Pei Mu was. Although his reputation was not as good as the Four Heroes of the Capital, his strength was definitely above theirs.

Pei Mu was defeated in a single move, which shows how powerful Qin Luo is. Those juniors who wanted to teach Qin Luo a lesson felt a chill down their spines and dared not oppose him.

"Thank you for showing mercy, Master Qin!"

Pei Mu stood up, bowed, and the arrogance in his eyes disappeared.

Qin Luo smiled and said softly, "Can you take me to see the Imperial Advisor now?"

Pei Mu nodded, "Master Qin, please follow me!"

Qin Luo followed Pei Mu into the Wushang Temple, and the younger generation around them made way for him, their eyes filled with awe.

The golden-armored general couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.

Wushang Temple is extremely large; any one of its palaces is larger than Longhu Temple, yet the temple itself is very deserted.

Qin Luo asked curiously, "Is Hua Ying at the Supreme Temple?"

Pei Mu was taken aback for a moment, then said respectfully, "Junior Sister is in the capital. She is presiding over the Dao discussion and is very busy lately."

Qin Luo nodded with a smile.

Deep within the Wushang Temple, there was a long set of bluestone steps. Pei Mu stood at the bottom of the steps and bowed, saying, "Master Qin, my master is waiting for you in the hall."

"Thank you for leading the way, Master Pei."

"You're welcome!"

Pei Mu quickly waved his hand.

Qin Luo stepped onto the bluestone steps alone. There were restrictions on the steps, preventing ordinary creatures from setting foot on them.

Pei Mu looked at Qin Luo's back and felt that the figure was somewhat majestic, like an ancient divine mountain, even taller than the golden-armored general guarding the Supreme Temple.

At the end of the bluestone steps were two bronze gates, each a hundred feet high, carved with fierce-looking door gods. Qin Luo bowed to them in greeting.

Rumble!

The bronze door opened a crack.

Although it was a narrow opening, it was wider than many streets, and sunlight streamed through the bronze doors into the hall, creating a golden avenue.

Qin Luo walked on the golden avenue. The hall was deep and silent, like a desolate valley. The bronze door behind him slowly closed, and the light in the hall disappeared.

"So many things in life are but a dream."

A soft sigh came from the depths of the hall. Qin Luo looked at the dark figure bathed in light, and his heart beat faster. He could sense the presence of the fragments of the Heavenly Dao.

Qin Luo was bathed in holy light, yet he was shrouded in darkness. "I thought you would hide, but I didn't expect you to see me."

"Hehehe."

The Grand Preceptor's laughter echoed in the hall, "I defied the will of Heaven, altered cause and effect, and reversed reincarnation. My life has been like walking on thin ice, all because I was waiting for you to appear."

"wait for me?"

Qin Luo gazed at the figure high above.

The Grand Preceptor laughed loudly, “The Dao Ancestor proved to us that the limits of man can be compared with the Dao of Heaven, and I want to prove that the limits of man can surpass the Dao of Heaven. If you and I join forces, we can hunt down the Dao of Heaven.”
