A seven-star white jade crown upon his head,
A gilded robe embroidered with clustered clouds upon his body,
A Three Treasures jade whisk in his hand,
Seated upright upon a jade mirror dais wreathed in auspicious clouds.
The Daoist, who looked like an immortal, had his eyes half-closed. Behind his head, a wheel of clear radiance could faintly be seen flowing and turning, seeming both like a halo and a Dao wheel.
This was Penglai's current sect master, Tianshu True Person.
In truth, Tianshu True Person did not refer solely to the current sect master. Every generation of Penglai sect masters inherited the Daoist title Tianshu.
Moreover, this generation's Tianshu True Person and Elder Daolingzi were both disciples of the Dao generation.
Supreme Purity, Subtle Virtue, Tranquil Mystery; Primordial Master, Jade Vastness, Dao Spirit, True.
As the thirteenth-generation sect master, Tianshu True Person also possessed Spirit Transformation cultivation.
Once the new generation of disciples had matured, the burden borne by Tianshu True Person's generation could be passed on.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Sect Master."
"Greetings, Sect Master."
Daolingzi and Jiang Sheng saluted according to custom.
Tianshu True Person slowly opened his eyes. "I already know why you have come."
"Jiang Sheng, you did well. Go to Tianji Peak and collect a fourth-rank treasure stipend."
As he spoke, a blue token turned into a streak of light and flew into Jiang Sheng's hand.
A fourth-rank treasure stipend represented heavenly treasures and earthly resources of the Golden Core Realm!
Holding the token, Jiang Sheng bowed once more. "This disciple obeys the Sect Master's decree. I shall take my leave."
Only after Jiang Sheng departed did Daolingzi speak. "Senior Brother, you already knew?"
Tianshu True Person nodded. "Ancestor Jingxuan has already informed me of the whole sequence of events."
"This matter concerns the west."
