Fists that can subdue mountains and rivers, martial arts that can lead to immortality!

"The Five Elements Alliance's Emperor Yan has graced us with his presence; this old Taoist has failed to greet him properly!"

Wearing a Taoist robe with the yin-yang symbol, and with white hair and beard, Zhang Sanfeng, exuding an air of otherworldly grace, arrived stepping through the void.

He covered ten zhang in one step, as if shrinking the earth to an inch, and instantly arrived in front of Jiang Yanhuang.

"Greetings, Master Zhang of Zhenwu Mountain!"

Jiang Yanhuang clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, then said in a deep voice.

Leaving aside the Immortal Realm and the Abandoned Land.

Zhang Sanfeng was a veteran first-class terrestrial immortal, while Jiang Yanhuang was just a rising star.

In addition, Zhang Sanfeng had just suppressed his fire elemental source from a distance.

This shows that the old man's strength is unfathomable.

In conclusion, he still needs to be polite to some extent.

"I wonder what brings Emperor Yan to my Zhenwu Mountain?"

Zhang Sanfeng asked the question knowingly, and then replied...

"oh!"

"A small insect escaped into the territory of Zhenwu Mountain."

"After killing this ignorant little bug, I will naturally leave Zhenwu Mountain."

"We hope Master Zhang will do us a favor!"

Jiang Yanhuang squinted, his body accumulating the power of the fire element, looking ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

"Once I leave Zhenwu Mountain, I can ignore everything and not ask any questions."

"However, no fighting is permitted within Zhenwu Mountain!"

Zhang Sanfeng smiled slightly and spoke decisively.

"So, Master Zhang is determined to get involved in this mess?"

Golden flames seemed to flicker in Jiang Yanhuang's eyes as he stared intently at the white-haired, youthful-looking Zhang Sanfeng, as if trying to discern just how much strength this old man still possessed.

"No fighting is permitted within Zhenwu Mountain!"

"This is a rule I established seven hundred years ago."

"But there are always people who don't believe in superstition and insist on trying it, but they all die."

"What, do you want to try it too?"

Zhang Sanfeng gazed at Jiang Yanhuang, as if he had become one with heaven and earth.

He was standing right in front of Jiang Yanhuang, but Jiang Yanhuang could never sense his presence.

At the same time, Jiang Yanhuang discovered that he had lost the ability to communicate with the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

He seemed to be trapped in a transparent cage isolated from the outside world. He appeared to be standing still, but in reality, he was already cut off from the world!

Although he still appeared calm, he was inwardly panicking.

He felt that Zhang Sanfeng's strength had surpassed the level of a first-grade terrestrial immortal, reaching an unprecedented level, just like Xiaoyaozi, the sect leader of the Xiaoyao Sect!

That level can be called demigod!

"Since Master Zhang has put it that way, then I'll give you face!"

"I'll wait outside Zhenwu Mountain for this little bug to crawl out on its own!"

Even when Jiang Yanhuang was about to die, he didn't forget to show off. Although his life was in Zhang Sanfeng's hands, he still maintained his high-class demeanor.

Of course, Zhang Sanfeng didn't mind at all, and instead said with a smile:

"Many thanks to Emperor Yan for granting this old Taoist priest this favor!"

Jiang Yanhuang felt a lightness in his body, sensing the flow of the primordial energy within him. He nodded slightly and turned to leave with a carefree air.

Jiang Wangzu, who was hiding on the outskirts of Zhenwu Mountain watching the two people talking in the sky, also had some doubts and muttered to himself:

"Is Jiang Yanhuang really that easy to talk to?"

"When a person feels like they are about to die, they naturally become much easier to talk to."

"This is what is meant by a dying man's words being good."

Zhang Sanfeng had arrived beside Jiang Wangzu without anyone noticing, and said with a smile.

Jiang Wangzu: "???"

Are you sure you didn't bring this death threat to him?

"Thank you so much for saving me, senior!"

Jiang Wangzu bowed to Zhang Sanfeng and spoke.

"It has been more than 700 years since the old Taoist entered the ancestral land, and this is the first time I have met a fellow Taoist from my hometown."

"Is my hometown still well? How many emperors have ascended the throne in the Ming Dynasty now?"

"Are my disciples and followers from Wudang Mountain all well?"

Zhang Sanfeng, like an ordinary old man longing for his hometown, chatted with Jiang Wangzu about everyday matters.

"The Ming Dynasty has been gone for hundreds of years, and the Great Blue Dynasty that followed it also collapsed a little over a decade ago."

"Now, the outside world is under the rule of the Great Xin Republic, which has unified the entire Eastern Continent."

"Wudang Mountain is very good now. It is a Taoist holy land where martial artists and sorcerers have passed down their skills from generation to generation. It has also been developed into a 5S-level scenic spot. Your disciples and grand-disciples all have no worries about food and drink."

Jiang Wangzu briefly told Zhang Sanfeng about the changes in the outside world, and then focused on the development of Wudang Mountain, as well as his friendship with Wudang Mountain.

"I haven't been back to my hometown for hundreds of years, and I never imagined that the outside world has undergone such earth-shattering changes."

"However, I heard you say that the outside world is now living in peace and prosperity, and my disciples and grand-disciples of Wudang Mountain are also content."

"Great, that's wonderful!"

Zhang Sanfeng nodded in satisfaction.

At his level, he would naturally be able to tell whether Jiang Wangzu was telling the truth or lying.

Of course, Jiang Wangzu had no reason to lie.

After all, he has a pretty good relationship with Wudang Mountain.

After the establishment of the Martial Alliance, the Wudang Mountain lineage also became an important branch of the Martial Alliance.

Although the independent Wudang Mountain lineage will disappear in the future, it can become one of the important roots of the Wudang Alliance, a towering tree, under the protection of the government.

"Walk."

"Come back to Zhenwu Mountain with me."

"You can focus on your cultivation here from now on. It's not too late to leave when you have the strength to contend with Jiang Yanhuang. I believe that day is not far off."

Zhang Sanfeng warmly invited Jiang Wangzu to visit Zhenwu Mountain.

Jiang Wangzu naturally wouldn't be pretentious, because now really wasn't the time for him to be.

Now, with his three flowers gathered at the top and five energies converging at the origin, he is only one step away from condensing a martial arts furnace and becoming a first-grade terrestrial immortal.

Once he becomes a first-rank terrestrial immortal, what is Jiang Yanhuang worth?

Zhang Sanfeng could also see Jiang Wangzu's current state and potential. The reason he helped Jiang Wangzu was not only because of their shared hometown, but also because he valued Jiang Wangzu's potential.

He felt that Jiang Wangzu could reach his level in the future, but as for surpassing him, that was almost impossible.

It's not that Zhang Sanfeng was so powerful; he was only comparable, not surpassable.

Rather, this is simply the way things are; Jiang Wangzu's potential has already been capped!

It has to be said that this is also a regret.

The outside world is a prison for martial arts grandmasters at the peak of the Profound Realm.

For these demigods who have reached the limit of the Celestial Realm, isn't this Immortal Realm just another, even larger, prison?

Zhang Sanfeng did not take Jiang Wangzu to the guest room, but went directly to the Zhenwu Mountain Armory.

"You've just arrived in the Immortal Realm, so you probably don't have enough cultivation resources at hand."

"I see that you have already cultivated the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and the Five Qi Converging at the Origin, and it is only a matter of time before you condense the Martial Arts Furnace."

"I will give you three pills: Divine Deer Pill, Black Tortoise Pill, and Spirit Crane Pill, to help you unify the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top phenomenon."

"Then I will give you the supreme treasure, the Five Elements Origin Pearl, to help you unify the five elements in your chest. With your foundation, it should not be a problem to condense your own martial arts furnace."

Zhang Sanfeng handed Jiang Wangzu a jade box containing three top-grade divine pills, all of which were refined by Zhang Sanfeng himself.

Then, they took out five beads the size of longan fruits, representing the origin of the five elements, from a top-grade bronze box.

This set of resources is enough to help Zhenwu Mountain create another first-rank terrestrial immortal.

But he gave all these things to this fellow villager he had only met once.

Jiang Wangzu was so moved that he didn't know what to say.

After a long silence, he finally spoke:

"I wonder if you possess any primordial essence of heaven and earth, the remains of gods and demons, or the flesh and blood of ancient exotic species here, senior?"
