Nine Luminaries True Lords

After Saint Mother Wudang learned the truth, she knew what had to be done.

She decided to join forces with Fang Yang and purge the Outer Sect of the Interception Sect.

"Junior Brother, rest assured. I now understand the gravity of the matter. This is not your burden alone. I will assist you in cleansing the Outer Sect and restoring clarity to our sect."

At this point, Saint Mother Wudang finally found the courage to face reality.

Some things, even if she did not wish to do them, still had to be done.

Perhaps, just as Sect Master Tongtian had said, she would embark upon a path her fellow disciples would not understand, perhaps even one that would make her the enemy of the entire sect. But she would never regret it.

Having achieved his goal, Fang Yang was delighted.

He had known that the Interception Sect must have people of vision. Not every disciple of the Interception Sect could be as shortsighted as Daoist Duobao.

Saint Mother Wudang had not disappointed him. She was someone with whom he could build a great undertaking.

"Good! With Senior Sister as such a powerful ally, the day we set our sect in order and restore its prestige as the orthodox Xuanmen is close at hand."

"I dare not accept such praise. I must thank Junior Brother for awakening me. Otherwise, I would still be immersed in the sweet dream of ten thousand immortals coming to pay homage."

Saint Mother Wudang had suddenly awakened. She realized that all her past feelings had been false, a beautiful dream woven by her own hands.

The world before her was real. She wanted to create a true Vacuum Homeland, not some illusory land of nowhere.

"I have befriended many junior brothers and sisters within the sect. Among them are quite a few with formidable cultivation."

Saint Mother Wudang's heart stirred as she thought of the foundation she had built within the Interception Sect.

Though Saint Mother Wudang had been unwilling to clash head-on with Daoist Duobao, she had drawn many disciples of the Interception Sect to her side in order to create the Vacuum Homeland.

Zhao Gongming, Fairy Yun Xiao, the Nine Luminaries True Lords, the Twelve Yuan Chen... they were all outstanding figures of the Outer Sect.

Among them, the nine brothers of the Nine Luminaries True Lords were incarnations of the physical bodies of nine Golden Crows. They were nine great Golden Immortals of the Grand Unity: Qian Yao, Kan Yao, Gen Yao, Zhen Yao, Zhong Yao, Xun Yao, Li Yao, Kun Yao, and Dui Yao.

Though they were merely Golden Immortals of the Grand Unity, when the nine brothers joined forces and deployed the Nine Luminaries Heavenly Dipper Array, even Great Luo Golden Immortals found them extremely troublesome.

One had to know that the Ten Golden Crows had once, with cultivation at the Golden Immortal of the Grand Unity level, refined a Great Witch at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level to death. Although the Nine Luminaries True Lords lacked the power of one Golden Crow, their cultivation far surpassed that of the Ten Golden Crows back then.

The Twelve Yuan Chen were also renowned experts of the Outer Sect of the Interception Sect. The Twelve Yuan Chen Great Array could evolve the Time Law, trapping an enemy's divine abilities and magical power within eternal time.

The Outer Sect of the Interception Sect was also a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, where all manner of talents emerged without end.

Saint Mother Wudang was introducing her own people to Fang Yang and displaying her foundation when she saw a faint smile appear on Fang Yang's face.

"The nine junior brothers have already arrived at Qingcheng Mountain."

Qingcheng Mountain was Fang Yang's daoist field, and he knew everything that happened within it.

Just as Saint Mother Wudang had said, the cultivation of the Nine Luminaries True Lords was unfathomable. Their magical power was inferior to Fang Yang's, but surpassed that of ninety-nine percent of the Golden Immortals of the Grand Unity in the world.

With such cultivation, along with the enhancement of a great array, they truly had a chance to contend against, or even defeat, a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Just as Saint Mother Wudang was about to speak, nine powerful and imposing auras rose up, and nine figures were teleported over by a force.

Pure Solar True Fire filled the bodies of the nine figures. The flames blazed fiercely, scorching all things.

"Qian Yao, Kan Yao, Gen Yao, Zhen Yao, Zhong Yao, Xun Yao, Li Yao, Kun Yao, and Dui Yao pay respects to Senior Sister Wudang and Senior Brother Fang Yang."

The nine figures entered together. The moment they appeared, they shook heaven and earth.

Fang Yang raised a hand in a gesture of support. A gentle force lifted the nine men, and he said warmly, "There is no need for such courtesy, junior brothers. Elder brother used the Nine Heavens Teleportation Array to invite you here in order to discuss a matter with you."

Sensing Fang Yang's vast magical power, the expressions of the Nine Luminaries True Lords changed.

They were already among the foremost Golden Immortals of the Grand Unity. There were scarcely any Golden Immortals of the Grand Unity capable of standing against them.

Yet Fang Yang, this junior senior brother who had attained the Golden Immortal of the Grand Unity realm later than they had, possessed magical power so profound.

Moreover, they had only just arrived at Qingcheng Mountain when they fell into the Nine Heavens Teleportation Array Fang Yang had set up and were collectively shifted into this region of spacetime.

If Fang Yang had suddenly felt inclined to move them into the Chaos World, then no matter how many lives they had, it would not be enough.

Fang Yang was far too terrifying!

In truth, Fang Yang was not terrifying at all. As long as one did not oppose him or harm his interests, he was the person in the world who loved peace the most.

That said, there truly were very few people capable of suppressing the Nine Luminaries True Lords at the Golden Immortal of the Grand Unity realm. Strictly speaking, there were nearly none.

"Senior Brother Fang Yang, to be frank, the nine of us came to Qingcheng Mountain precisely to pledge ourselves to you and join you in accomplishing something great."

True Lord Qian Yao disregarded Saint Mother Wudang's presence and directly stated the purpose of their visit.

The nine of them were no empty names. They had long held ambitions of Proving Dao to Great Luo. Yet the Karma of the Ten Suns Emerge Together rested upon them, and if they wished to Prove Dao to Great Luo, they first had to accumulate immense Merit and Fortune.

Without those things, their path to Great Luo would become a dead end.

They had originally befriended Saint Mother Wudang because they thought highly of her and hoped to achieve their goal through her.

This move could not be called a bad one, but at the very least, they had accomplished nothing thus far. Fang Yang was different. The moment he appeared, he had already made major moves. His future would surely be boundless.

Thus, they chose to come and meet Fang Yang.

Watching from the side, Saint Mother Wudang felt bitterness in her heart. This was the foundation she had painstakingly established, yet they had so easily abandoned her.

"Junior Brothers are too courteous. I had long heard of the nine of you, but we never had the chance to meet. To see you all today is my honor."

Fang Yang treated these nine junior brothers with great courtesy.

First, they were the first disciples of the Interception Sect to pledge themselves to him. Second, they had never done anything that damaged their fortune.

They bore only the Karma of the Ten Suns Rise, not the Karmic Debt of the Ten Suns Rise. After all, they were merely incarnations of the physical bodies left behind after the Ten Golden Crows had fallen.

Seeing this, Saint Mother Wudang shook her head and smiled bitterly.

The Saint Mother Wudang of the past had indeed disappointed people. For the sake of so-called loyalty, she had cast aside too many things.

It was only natural that those disciples of the Interception Sect who had pledged themselves to her would regret it and turn to someone else.

"Nine junior brothers, Junior Brother Fang Yang's cultivation is extraordinarily high. If you follow him in cultivation, the benefits will be beyond counting."

In the end, Saint Mother Wudang still praised him against her own wishes.

No one else could be blamed for this matter. If anyone was to blame, it could only be herself.

Her choices in the past had disappointed people.

"Please forgive us, Senior Sister. Senior Brother Fang Yang is the one who truly possesses courage and virtue as an immortal."

True Lord Qian Yao wore a solemn expression, showing no fear that Saint Mother Wudang might turn hostile.

One only wondered what his source of confidence was.
