But Mo Zun was different. He rose from the Western Desert, born into an environnt filled with evildoers. He carved his path out of wickedness, practicing an evil path, worse than the villains he erged from. Especially during the years when the Da Xuan Dynasty Court was in decline, chaos reigned throughout the Western Desert. Only after the rise of the Six Paths Alliance, with Mo Zun as its leader, did they suppress the entire Western Pass Domain and govern the eleven states of the Western Desert. But even then, it was contained only within the Western Desert.
After the world was divided into nine, in just over a year, several clashes occurred between the Six Paths Alliance and neighboring Taoist Prefectures. Unchecked under Mo Zun’s command, they caused many disturbances.
Finally.
After Chen Mu swept through the Capital City in one day, establishing a decree that the world be divided into nine and must not descend into chaos again, the Six Paths Alliance restrained itself, no longer plundering other Taoist Prefectures at will. However, so past grievances could not be easily resolved.
"Mo Zun..."
Sikong Rui of the Green Cloud Sect Supre gazed coldly at Mo Zun.
His direct disciple, the one most likely to inherit his teachings from the Green Cloud Sect, was surrounded and killed by the Six Paths Alliance. In his wrath, he ventured alone into the Western Desert, seeking out the Six Paths Alliance for a fight, injuring several Blood Exchange Realm mbers, but was ultimately repulsed by Mo Zun.
He was convinced that Mo Zun was involved in the matter. At this mont, eting his enemy, the atmosphere beca tense.
Mo Zun ignored Sikong Rui’s cold stare, remaining indifferent, standing with his hands behind his back atop the mountain peak. He glanced over the crowd present and then cast his gaze into the distance, saying calmly, "Master Xuantian, you are late."
With those words.
Everyone instantly looked up.
In the distant sky, a figure appeared silently, slowly walking toward them. But with each step, it seed as though a thousand miles were crossed, with shades of black and white shifting. In just a few steps, he reached the Kunlun Mountains and landed atop the peak!
No introduction was needed; the newcor was known throughout the entire Da Xuan Dynasty.
Master Xuantian!
Among the top Celestial Masters of the world today, he was the most mysterious. Rumors said he was once a scion of the Da Xuan Royal Family, while others said he rose from humble beginnings. No one knew the truth, and no one even knew Master Xuantian’s real na, only that he guarded a Mystic Heaven Daoist Temple with almost no disciples, hence the world called him Master Xuantian.
Among many Celestial Masters present, so knew specific details about Master Xuantian but none knew his real na. They only knew that before ascending to the absolute peak, he went by the Daoist na ’Tian Jizi,’ traveling the world, and had a junior brother who called himself ’Tian Suanzi.’ But where these brothers learned from was unknown; so speculated they were taught by heaven and earth itself, practicing and achieving on their own, thus establishing the Mystic Heaven Daoist Temple, worshipping no master, only heaven and earth.
"The most important guest of today’s Dao Debate has yet to arrive. How can you call it late?"
Master Xuantian stood on the Peak of Kunlun Mountain, speaking lightly.
Upon hearing Master Xuantian’s words, the expressions of the nurous Celestial Masters present varied widely. Sikong Rui, who previously gazed coldly at Mo Zun, also had a flicker of light passing through his eyes.
"I’ve heard that he’s not interested in Dao Debates and may not co after all."
Soone remarked, shaking their head slightly.
In the Celestial Human Dao, only when one has cultivated martial arts to the Celestial Human Level, reaching the peak of advancent, would there be a stronger desire to explore the path ahead, wishing to discuss with others to confirm their own insights and direction.
Chen Mu, having swept the Capital City with sheer physical strength, shocked the world but in martial arts, he still had room to advance, showing no interest in the Kunlun Dao Debate.
Moreover, at their level, they highly valued appearances.
The Kunlun Dao Debate being a discussion among Celestials, although no one would question Chen Mu’s qualification to participate or object to his coming, many would even hope to explore the path of Body Tempering Martial Arts with him. Chen Mu himself might feel so reservations about attending Kunlun before becoming a Celestial Human. Additionally, he may not yet feel the despair of having no path forward.
Maybe in the next thirty years, after Chen Mu becos a Celestial Human, reaching the end of the martial path with no further progress, he would understand the difficulties and challenges of forging a new path and willingly co to Kunlun to discuss the future of martial arts with others.
"It would be a pity if he doesn’t co."
Nanhua Villa’s Patriarch Teng Xuangjing sighed softly.
Among all the Celestial Humans, he wasn’t the strongest, but he was the oldest, having lived over two hundred eighty years, close to three hundred, nearly exhausting all ans of extending his life, making it almost impossible for him to survive to the next Kunlun Dao Debate.
This Kunlun Dao Debate was his endpoint. After this debate, he planned to compile all his life’s learning into collections, hoping to pass down as much of his martial knowledge as possible to the descendants of Nanhua Villa before his life ended.
Not being able to debate with Chen Mu would be too great a regret.
However, if Chen Mu doesn’t co, they cannot force him.
Moreover, not all contemporary Celestial Humans were present at this Kunlun Dao Debate. Two were absent: King of the North Garrison, Yuan Hong, and Da Xuan Marshal Hall Master Lu Zongxi. The latter, nearly of the sa age as Teng Xuangjing, was rumored to be on the brink of passing and so did not co, only focusing on leaving behind his martial heritage as a Celestial Human.
However.
Among the many Celestial Humans present, soon soone sensed sothing, directing their gaze toward a certain place below.
