Book 5: Chapter 152: Zang Yulian

Fairy Waner brought over a jade-green guqin.

The Grand Mohist sat at the entrance of the palace hall and started playing the guqin.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

The zither music sounded very strange. As the Grand Mohist played it, no strange scenes manifested.

Master, Heaven has already taken away the cultural Dao laws. Music pieces are now useless, right? Fairy Waner said out of curiosity.

The Grand Mohist shook her head. They are not. The Supreme Ascendant Longevity Piece does not need the music Daos laws.

Oh? However, this disciple cannot understand it, Fairy Waner said with a frown.

If you dont understand it, how could I understand it? the Grand Mohist sighed.

Huh? This disciple does not understand, Fairy Waner said, feeling puzzled.

The Grand Mohist looked at the guqin in her hand with mixed feelings. There was once a person who did understand it. It was that Gu Hai, who had caused her to fall into this abyss.

He understood it? After understanding it, he even created the Cla.s.sic of the Dao and Virtue?

The Supreme Ascendants line of inheritances Supreme Ascendant Scripture only wrote about the Supreme Ascendant. However, that Cla.s.sic of the Dao and Virtue left a deep impression on the Grand Mohist. At that time, it manifested an old man who brought forth the Three Pure Ones.

What secrets does the Supreme Ascendant Longevity Piece hold?

The Supreme Ascendant Longevity Piece is a secret of my Supreme Ascendants line of inheritance. Only the Supreme Ascendant of each generation knows how to play it. Waner, I now pa.s.s you the Supreme Ascendant Longevity Piece and some of the Supreme Ascendant Daos inheritance, the Grand Mohist said.

Fairy Waners expression changed. Ah? Master, you cant! Why are you

Before Fairy Waner finished speaking, the Grand Mohist suddenly tapped her finger on Fairy Waners forehead.

Buzz!

An azure light shot out of the Grand Mohists finger and into Fairy Waners forehead. Fairy Waner closed her eyes as though entering meditation.

The Grand Mohist removed her finger after a while. Fairy Waner trembled and woke up.

Master, whatwhat are you doing? Fairy Waner asked anxiously.

Im handing the inheritance to you first, in case of accidents. The Grand Mohist shook her head.

But there is no need for that. Masters cultivation is recovering quickly. The wolf spirit from that day was just an accident. As long as Master remains here, who would dare disturb Master? Fairy Waner said with a bitter smile.

With a faint, cold smile, the Grand Mohist said, Those old fogeys are losing their patience already. Do you really think that the wolf spirit one month ago was just an accident?

Someone sent it on purpose? Fairy Waners eyes turned cold.

Xuan Du is already thinking of replacing me. However, as long as I am around, the position of Grand Mohist will never go to them! the Grand Mohist said coldly.

Yes. Master, rest a.s.sured. This disciple will protect Master! Fairy Waner looked at the Grand Mohist gravely.

Waner, did you lose your chast.i.ty when you went north this time? the Grand Mohist asked.

I-I-I did not No! Fairy Waner stammered. Her expression turned somewhat stiff.

You did not? Hah! Remember what you said. You never have. At the very least, your cultivation improving greatly already proves it. Master has nurtured you to be the next Grand Mohist. Right now, you are the Supreme Ascendant Daos holy daughter. No one will dare to do anything to you, the Grand Mohist said.

Master, I, Fairy Waner said with a bitter expression.

The Grand Mohist shook her head as she stroked Fairy Waners fine hair. Waner, no matter who asks about it, you must insist on it. You have not lost your chast.i.ty. You are the purest inheritor of the Supreme Ascendant Dao.

Huh? Yes! Fairy Waner appeared somewhat confused.

Please leave. I would like to rest, the Grand Mohist said with a deep breath.

Alright. Fairy Waner nodded with a confused expression.

Fairy Waner left, feeling that her master was behaving quite strangely today.

After the Grand Mohist saw Fairy Waner leave, she returned to her palace hall.

Creak!

Then, the doors to the palace hall closed.

At the same time, in another palace hall not far from the previous one, a group of people of both genders, wearing robes with the Taiji diagram, stood respectfully before a white-clad youth.

First Senior Brother, the Grand Mohists Dao heart has broken. She is no longer qualified to be the Grand Mohist. First Senior Brother, please succeed the position! Xuan En suddenly said.

Indeed. First Senior Brother, who of the Supreme Ascendants line of inheritance does not know of Veritable Xuan Du? The entire world knows of you, but they do not know who the Grand Mohist is. First Senior Brother succeeding the Grand Mohist position is merely taking your rightful place! another Supreme Ascendent Dao disciple said.

If not for First Senior Brother propping us up, how could my Supreme Ascendants line of inheritance have its current standing in the Myriad Age Daoist Sect? First Senior Brother, dont refuse anymore!

This group looked respectfully at the white-clad youth.

The white-clad youth had a cinnabar mark between his brows. His eyes opened slightly as he listened to the complaints. However, his expression did not change.

First Senior Brother, the Grand Mohist is not even in the Innate Realm now, Xuan En said softly.

Xuan Du took a deep breath and said, The Supreme Ascendants line of inheritance has its rules for succession. They cannot be broken.

However, First Senior Brother, she is not worthy of being the Grand Mohist. All the past Grand Mohists were men. Why did it become a woman? Furthermore, the disciple she took is a woman. Holy Daughter Waner? Is she trying to turn my Supreme Ascendants line of inheritance into a female sect? Xuan En said with a frown.

Xuan Du narrowed his eyes slightly. Perhaps. This is the change of Taiji. Too little Yang gives birth to great Yin. Yang in the extreme transforms to Yin. This is the Taiji Daos Yinyang?

No! How can the Supreme Ascendants line of inheritance change?! the disciples immediately protested.

Indeed. I submit to only First Senior Brother!

I also submit to only First Senior Brother. Master must have made a mistake back then!

Master was dying. He must have made a mistake!

Everyone encouraged Xuan Du to succeed the position. However, Xuan Du shook his head. They thought he was unwilling, but it was because he felt it was not time yet.

Oh, right. Speaking of which, I noticed that the Grand Mohists cultivation increased over the past few days! a Supreme Ascendant Dao disciple said with a frown.

Oh? Xuan Du narrowed his eyes.

Everyone looked over together.

The Grand Mohist could not even deal with a wolf spirit one month ago. However, just a few days agosix days to be preciseI saw the Grand Mohist use a manifested sword to chop down a tiger spirit. She should be in the Golden Core Realm, that person said.

She is recovering? Everyone felt slightly startled.

Xuan Dus earlier indifference immediately vanished, his expression turning sullen. He initially planned to wait until the Grand Mohist had lost all her cultivation and abdicated to him on her own initiative. Now, the situation had changed.

Three days later:

A group of Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples rushed to the palace hall that was the Grand Mohists residence. Grand Mohist, we have something to report!

Fairy Waner rushed over.

How audacious! What are you doing? Barging into the Grand Mohists residence? Fairy Waner said while glaring.

Boom!

The Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples did not care. They just broke into the palace hall.

How audacious! Fairy Waners expression changed as she blocked everyone.

Everyone stopped.

They saw two scrolls and a jade stele in the palace hall.

The Supreme Ascendant Scripture? Thats the Taiji diagram? Xuan Ens expression changed.

The two scrolls gave off the conception of the cycling Taiji. One had a black-and-white aura that revolved slowly, forming the Taiji diagram.

Thesethese are the Grand Mohists keepsakes. The Supreme Ascendant Scripture and the Taiji diagram? Why are they here? Fairy Waner said in shock.

That jade stele! Thats the Supreme Ascendant Daos inheritance jade stele? Xuan Ens expression changed.

There were many names densely packed together on the jade stele. The last name was Lin Waner.

Before Lin Waner was a Zang Yulian.

The Grand Mohists name seems to be Zang Yulian? This is the Supreme Ascendant Daos inheritance jade stele, and the last name on it is Lin Waner? Xuan Ens expression changed.

Everyone immediately s.h.i.+fted their gaze to Lin Waner.

What? What is Master doing? Fairy Waners expression changed.

The Grand Mohist pa.s.sed her position to Lin Waner? Furthermore, only the Grand Mohist can write on the Supreme Ascendant Daos inheritance jade stele. No one else can change it. The expression of another Supreme Ascendant Dao disciple changed.

How can this be?! How could the Grand Mohist pa.s.s on her position?! How strong is Lin Waners conception of the Supreme Ascendant Dao? I do not accept this!

Hurry! Inform First Senior Brother!

The Supreme Ascendants line of inheritance plunged into chaos.

When the news reached Xuan Du, his expression changed dramatically.

Boom!

Xuan Du immediately rushed to the Grand Mohists palace hall.

As Waner was about to collect the three items, Xuan Du suddenly extended his hand and swept the Supreme Ascendant Scripture and the Taiji diagram into his sleeves. However, that jade stele blazed, resisting Xuan Du.

Martial Uncle Xuan Du, what are you doing? These belong to Master! Fairy Waner glared.

Where is the Grand Mohist? Xuan Du demanded coldly.

How would I know? Master pa.s.sed the position to me. I am now the Supreme Ascendant Daos Grand Mohist. This inheritance jade stele is the best proof! Fairy Waner shouted.

As Fairy Waner spoke, she pulled her hand back, according to the Supreme Ascendant Daos inheritance that Zang Yulian gave her. The jade stele immediately shrank and entered her palm.?????e???v?l.?o?

Buzz!

Fairy Waners body immediately gave off the light of Taiji.

I do not know why Master did this, but all of you can forget about touching Masters things. Also, return the Supreme Ascendant Scripture and the Taiji diagram! Fairy Waner glared.

In the surroundings were some disciples who disagreed with Xuan Du. They immediately bowed to Waner and said, Salutations, Grand Mohist!

She actually pa.s.sed the Supreme Ascendant Daos inheritance to you? Xuan Dus expression turned scarily sullen.

Return the Supreme Ascendant Scripture and the Taiji diagram to me, Fairy Waner repeated while glaring. Otherwise, I will notify Sect Master Heavenly Access and have the Heavenly Accesss and the Essence Genesiss lines of inheritance clean up my Supreme Ascendants line of inheritance on my behalf.

Humph! Since you are the new Grand Mohist, then focus on raising your cultivation. You cant protect the valuable treasures of the Supreme Ascendant Dao. Ill help you safeguard them. Greetings, Grand Mohist! Xuan Du said sullenly.

You! Fairy Waner glared.

Salutations, Grand Mohist! Xuan En and his coterie imitated Xuan Du, bowing to Fairy Waner with cold expressions.

Fairy Waners face sank, but she could not do anything about it. Although her cultivation was continuously increasing, she was still far from comparable to Xuan Du. There was no way around it.

The chaotic Supreme Ascendant Dao calmed down after several days of commotion.

In the palace hall where Xuan Du resided:

A group of the Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples stood behind a sullen Xuan Du.

The internal conflict of the Supreme Ascendant Dao attracted the attention of the Heavenly Accesss and the Essence Genesiss lines of inheritance. They have started checking the situation of my Supreme Ascendants line of inheritance, so I cannot leave this place now. Xuan En, bring some men to search the east. Find Zang Yulian! Xuan Du said coldly.

To the east?

Find the original at Hosted Novel.

Thats right. Zang Yulian? I underestimated her. She actually guessed our plan. However, I conducted divinations over the past few days and figured some things out. She headed east towards the Yan Heavenly Dynasty. Find her and quietly bring her to me. That inheritance jade stele cannot pa.s.s on the inheritance to the next generation for the next one hundred years; that la.s.s Waner cannot do anything about it. However, the previous-generation Grand Mohist can change the heir, so we can only seek out Zang Yulian. Hurry! Xuan Du said.

Yes! First Senior Brother, rest a.s.sured. We will always be on your side! the Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples immediately called out.

Good! Xuan Du nodded.

Yan Heavenly Dynasty:

Gu Hais flying s.h.i.+p flew quickly. After three months, it finally entered the Yan Heavenly Dynastys territory, not far from the Yan Heavenly Dynastys capital.

Your Majesty, we will reach the Yan Heavenly Dynastys capital, Divine Farmer City, in another ten days! Mu Chenfeng smiled as he looked at Gu Hai.

[TL Note: In Chinese mythology, Shennong is a ruler who brought agriculture to humans. His name translates to Divine Farmer. Here is the Wikipedia entry on Shennong: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shennong.]

Gu Hai showed a smile as he looked at the distant rising sun.
