What truly earned the eighth-generation sect leader undying merit was his perseverance, day after day, for decades.
After becoming a supreme elder and entering the Void Step realm, the eighth-generation sect leader devoted enormous time to investigating the past. He visited many great Mystic Gate sects, carefully examined their records, and even dug up graves. At last, with help from Mysterious Capital Palace, he pieced together the circumstances in which their founding patriarch had established Jade Sun Mountain.
Of the two who had played chess atop Heavenly Capital Peak, one was the Devil King Jun Tian Guang Yue, a Dharma-Ending Lord infamous throughout the Outer Void. Rumor held that he had been deeply involved in the fall of the Ancient Heavenly Court. His influence spread far across the Outer Void, and he was considered one of the most dangerous Dharma-Ending Lords in the universe.
As a Dharma-Ending Lord, he naturally could not send his true body into the Central Land. The figure who had appeared atop Heavenly Capital Peak was High Person Tianqing, once the leader of the Great Sun Sect, whom he had later corrupted. His opponent at the chessboard was stranger still: Qianhuan, a mysterious being who led the Jade Scenery Sect.
The Jade Scenery Sect had no fixed seat. Its teachings passed quietly through the world, pursuing the supreme Dao through the Supreme Emotionless Method. Masters passed them to disciples, yet the sect had no concept of a sect leader or master. Its highest authority rested with a strange figure called Qianhuan. Each time he appeared in the mortal world, not only did he look different, but his divine abilities and methods were entirely different too.
The only constants were his formidable cultivation at the pinnacle of the Earth Immortal realm and his ever-unpredictable temperament.
