Holding a whisk, the stunningly beautiful Sect Master Mo Wenxian of the Celestial Immortal Sect walked up to Ling Yun and the others and bowed respectfully.
"Thank you all, seniors, for saving my Heavenly Immortal Sect!"
The Yellow Emperor immediately said solemnly:
"We're all on the same side, no need to be so polite!"
Mo Wenxian and Dasheng both froze, wondering how they had become family.
The Great Sage immediately glared fiercely at the Yellow Emperor.
Mo Wenxian quickly sent a telepathic message to Fairy Zixia:
"Zixia, tell me the truth, besides the 'Zhe' mantra, did you agree to any other conditions they asked for?"
She thought that Fairy Zixia must have given herself to that man with the stick, and that her disciple had sacrificed herself to save the sect. The thought made her heartbroken.
Before Fairy Zixia could speak, Mo Wenxian looked at the Great Sage and said solemnly:
"Zixia is the Holy Maiden of our Heavenly Immortal Sect. Her talent is unparalleled and she is the hope for our Heavenly Immortal Sect to become a top sect in the future. I suppose she was willing to give herself to you in order to save the sect."
My Heavenly Immortal Sect is a Taoist sect that never breaks its promises. However, for the sake of my disciple, I, Mo Wenxian, am willing to break my promise and uphold the vow I made to you all. I am willing to exchange the entire sect's treasury for her marriage to this senior. If the senior is still not satisfied, I am willing to atone with my death!
Upon hearing this, Fairy Zixia's beautiful face flushed red instantly, and she quickly said:
"Oh dear, Master, that's not how it is! The seniors didn't make things difficult for me; they were the ones who rescued me from the Starry Sky Bandits!"
"Really?" Mo Wenxian was slightly taken aback, but still somewhat skeptical.
“Disciple can swear an oath!” Fairy Zixia said solemnly.
Mo Wenxian then dispelled his doubts and quickly bowed to the Great Sage:
"I apologize, senior. It was I who was rude!"
The Great Sage didn't mind; he admired a master who was willing to die to atone for his disciple's sins.
"It's alright! It's good that the misunderstanding has been cleared up!"
Mo Wenxian breathed a slight sigh of relief and said to the disciple beside him:
"Red Glow, Orange Glow, Yellow Glow, Green Glow, you four quickly go and prepare a superior Daoist temple for our senior fellow Daoists!"
After speaking, she gestured for them to proceed and said to Ling Yun and the others:
"Esteemed seniors, please come to my sacred space. The mantra 'Zhe' is located here!"
The crowd nodded slightly and followed Mo Wenxian into the Heavenly Immortal Sect.
On the way, the Yellow Emperor put his arm around the Great Sage's shoulder and teased him:
"Bro, are you tempted? Tell the truth!"
The Great Sage rolled his eyes at him and showed him the back of his handsome head.
Undeterred, the Yellow Emperor continued:
"When I first met Ling'er, I bravely confessed my feelings. It was my fate to miss this opportunity and I will regret it for the rest of my life. I can tell that you are definitely moved."
The Great Sage remained silent. He didn't know if it was love at first sight, but he felt as if he had an inextricable karmic connection with Fairy Zixia.
Previously, the Great Sage had been trying to deduce the end of the cause-and-effect line, wanting to know where this cause-and-effect came from, but he was completely confused.
As its name suggests, the Celestial Immortal Sect is shrouded in a myriad of celestial mists and auspicious lights, as beautiful as a landscape painting, like a fairyland in the heavens.
Ling Yun was a little excited. He had already obtained six of the nine true words: Lin, Bing, Dou, Jie, Zhen, and Lie. He was about to obtain the word Zhe. Only the last two words, Qian, remained.
Collecting all nine true words will reveal the true Three Thousand Great Daos, with power capable of destroying heaven and earth. Perhaps one can even glimpse the path to becoming a sacrificial immortal.
Mo Wenxian's training ground is located at the top of the main peak of the Heavenly Immortal Sect. After entering the training ground, Mo Wenxian took out a wooden tablet from the secluded cultivation room. The seals on both sides of the wooden tablet had already been broken.
The front side represents the true meaning of the "Zhe" mantra, which allows one to control the body to its ultimate potential. Practitioners of the "Zhe" mantra can fully unleash their potential and also possess extremely strong recovery abilities.
The back features nine starting stances that can remove any curses, restrictions, or oppression imposed on you by an enemy.
Each syllable of the Nine Syllable Mantra is astonishing and contains the supreme Dao.
"Thank you, Sect Master Mo!"
Ling Yun clasped his hands in a fist salute.
"Senior, you flatter me. You saved my disciple and my sect. I am truly ashamed that I have only offered the Word 'Zhe' in return. If you do not mind, I am willing to offer up the entire treasure trove of the sect!"
Ling Yun waved his hand and said:
"There's no need for that. We've just gone through a crisis that threatened to destroy our sect, and that's exactly the time when we need to spend money. Saving the Heavenly Immortal Sect is just a side thing for us."
Mo Wenxian was deeply moved. In the past, all the powerful immortals she had met looked down on them as if they were ants, but Ling Yun and the Great Sage treated them with equality.
"This is the true immortal, encompassing all heavens and looking down upon all things!" Mo Wenxian thought to himself.
That evening, Mo Wenxian invited Ling Yun and the others to the Daoist temple to sample the Heavenly Immortal Sect's original "Eighteen Delicacies of Heavenly Immortals".
When the six vegetarian dishes and twelve meat dishes were served, everyone was stunned. Each dish was as beautiful as a fairy dancing.
Each dish exudes an ethereal charm, its aroma soothing and delightful.
Ling Shan, a master of food tasting, raised her little hand to taste the food for everyone. She burst into tears after just one bite.
Seeing this, everyone immediately picked up their chopsticks and began to feast. It must be incredibly delicious to make Ling Shan cry from the taste.
As expected, Lingxi also cried.
Because it was so delicious, Qiongqi's eldest son, Qiongbai, ate the whole plate.
Mo Wenxian was stunned by this scene and hurriedly ordered his disciples to bring ten portions of the "Eighteen Beauties of Heavenly Immortals".
The group ate until late at night before returning to their respective temples.
In the dead of night, with the moon hanging high in the sky, Fairy Zixia was summoned to the Mowen Immortal Dojo.
"What brings Master to summon his disciple so late at night?"
Mo Wenxian glanced at the prayer mat beside him, gesturing for Fairy Zixia to sit down. He looked at her silently for a moment, then said in a deep voice:
"Zixia, you've fallen for the Great Sage, haven't you?"
Zixia Fairy's face flushed instantly, and she lowered her head, saying something she didn't mean:
"No...no~"
"Do you think I can't see it?" Mo Wenxian said earnestly.
"Zixia, you need to face reality. The Great Sage is a demon king of his generation and an unparalleled powerhouse in the realm of immortals. You are not worthy of his reach."
Even if the Great Sage has developed feelings for you, I will not allow you two to be together!
"Why!" Fairy Zixia blurted out instinctively, immediately lowering her head and clutching the hem of her clothes with both hands, looking both aggrieved and at a loss.
"Why?" Mo Wenxian asked sternly, emphasizing his words.
"Because you are the most outstanding disciple of the Supreme Emotionless Way, with a promising future, how could I let you be unable to transcend emotions because of them?"
"In my lifetime, I am stuck at the Great Emperor level, unable to step into the realm of immortality. You are my hope, the hope of the Heavenly Immortal Sect, and even more so, the hope of the Supreme Forgetfulness Sect."
Zixia Fairy turned her head away, tears streaming down her face. The moment she saw the Great Sage, she knew it was him. Once this kind of emotion erupted, it couldn't be taken back.
"If you choose the Great Sage, then our master-disciple relationship ends here!"
Seeing that Fairy Zixia was already deeply in love, Mo Wenxian had no choice but to act decisively. She knew that some people would be devoted to someone at first sight, without needing a long time to fall in love.
"Master, your disciple... your disciple will listen to you!"
With a sob in her voice, Fairy Zixia left Mo Wenxian's dojo after speaking.
