Chapter 197
Ning Changge’s eyes held a trace of admiration. He, too, walked a path untrodden by others and respected Yaoyue’s resolve.
“Nothing in this world is a dead end. If you wish to achieve what others cannot, you must possess extraordinary determination and resolve. Only by breaking and rebuilding can you shatter the barriers before you.”
—
Yaoyue’s eyes lit up, filled with joy and thirst for knowledge.
“How do I break? How do I rebuild?” she asked eagerly.
Ning Changge’s voice rang out like a thunderclap:
“Retrace your steps.”
—
The five simple words struck Yaoyue like a bolt of lightning. She stood frozen, her mind echoing with the phrase. Each repetition deepened her understanding.
To retrace her steps meant to abandon her current cultivation and start anew—a perilous and arduous endeavor. It would require years of effort and an unyielding will to gamble everything on a slim hope.
—
The crowd watched in stunned silence as Yaoyue entered a state of epiphany.
In a single moment, Ning Changge had guided two top-tier Heaven-Man experts into epiphanies with just a few words.
—
The audience was in awe.
The Heaven-Man experts, in particular, couldn’t help but feel a pang of regret. If only they had been the ones to receive Ning Changge’s guidance, could they have achieved the same?
—
Only a few exceptional Heaven-Man experts and the Land Immortals fully grasped the gravity of Ning Changge’s guidance.
In mere moments, he had deduced the paths both women needed to take, offering insights so profound they had achieved epiphanies. This demonstrated a level of understanding that was terrifyingly high.
—
The crowd’s perception of Ning Changge had shifted.
Previously, he was seen as a peerless warrior, surpassing even most Land Immortals in combat. But now, it was clear that his comprehension of the Dao was equally unfathomable.
—
Li Hanyi and Yaoyue opened their eyes, emerging from their epiphanies.
Their auras had transformed, now existing in a realm between Heaven-Man and Land Immortal. Though they had not yet ascended, they had found their paths and cleared their bottlenecks.
—
The realization struck the crowd like a tidal wave.
Li Hanyi and Yaoyue had broken through their barriers. With time, they would undoubtedly ascend to the Land Immortal realm.
Ning Changge’s guidance had not only led them to epiphanies but had also paved the way for their future ascensions.
—
Li Hanyi and Yaoyue exchanged glances, their eyes filled with joy.
They hadn’t expected their journey to Tianzhu Peak to yield such monumental fortunes. With focused cultivation, they were confident they could ascend within a decade.
—
Suppressing their excitement, they bowed deeply to Ning Changge.
“Thank you, Little Immortal, for your guidance. When we ascend to the Land Immortal realm, we will return to Tianzhu Peak to pay our respects.”
Their words carried a clear message: from now on, they stood firmly with Wudang.
—
The crowd gasped.
Two future Land Immortals aligning themselves with Wudang? Combined with Zhang Sanfeng, the Spirit Monkey, and Ning Changge, Wudang’s foundation was unfathomably deep.
—
Ning Changge accepted their bows with a calm smile.
His guidance had required only a small effort, but it was worth the gratitude he received.
—
The Land Immortals were left speechless.
Ning Changge’s guidance had achieved what their own could not. While they could offer insights to help others avoid mistakes, Ning Changge had directly pointed out the path to ascension.
It was incomparable.
—
“Today, we have truly witnessed the Little Immortal’s brilliance. The rumors do him no justice,” Li Changsheng said, bowing slightly. “Thank you for guiding Hanyi.”
—
The martial exchanges reached their climax.
Heaven-Man experts who had already fought regretted missing the chance to receive Ning Changge’s guidance. Those who hadn’t yet fought were eager to step forward.
—
As the sun set, the martial exchanges came to an end.
Every participant left with valuable insights, their respect for Wudang reaching new heights.
—
Standing before the crowd, Song Yuanqiao announced:
“Fellow martial artists, we are honored by your presence at my master’s centenary celebration. If there are no further challenges, we will now conclude the event.”
The crowd erupted in applause and congratulations.
—
Today, Wudang had solidified its place as the pinnacle of the martial world. No one dared to challenge its supremacy.
As the guests began to rise, it seemed the celebration had reached its perfect conclusion.
It was clear for all to see.
The Land Immortals present had no intention of leaving. Their gazes were unified, focused on a particular direction with expressions of intrigue. Even Ning Changge cast a faint glance in the same direction.
Some of the guests noticed this and felt a sinking feeling in their hearts. Waves of unease rippled through them—could it be that the celebration wasn’t over, and a new development was about to unfold?
Whatever had captured the attention of the Land Immortals was undoubtedly of their level.
—
Gradually, the other Jianghu guests also sensed that something was amiss. Their eyes followed the direction of the Land Immortals’ focus, growing increasingly puzzled and uneasy.
The target of their attention?
None other than the representatives of the Cihang Jingzhai and the Jingnian Zen Sect—two major Buddhist factions from the Sui Dynasty.
Both sects had ancient legacies and numerous Heaven-Man experts among their ranks. But why were the Land Immortals so fixated on them? After all, on a day like this, Heaven-Man experts seemed almost insignificant amidst the grandeur of Tianzhu Peak.

Song Yuanqiao, noticing the tension, instinctively turned to his master and junior brother for guidance.
Ning Changge responded with a calm glance, prompting Song Yuanqiao to step back quietly.
