Chapter 62: Atop Mount Wudang

In the world of Swallowing the Starry Sky, only those with exceptional talent can comprehend domains at the planetary level. Even if one is not as gifted as Hong, who had barely entered the planetary stage before mastering a domain, being comparable to Thunder God is already remarkable. Thunder God, after all, also grasped a domain at the planetary stage, though decades later than Hong.

Wang Kun, though he had been reborn into the Swallowing the Starry Sky world for just about a year, had spent decades cultivating in previous worlds. Calculating his progress, his talent seemed roughly equal to Thunder God’s. What Wang Kun did not realize was that his rapid comprehension of a domain was not merely due to talent. The advancement of his lineage after improving his abilities granted him additional benefits.

Two days later, the monthly cooldown for world traversal ended. In his villa by West Lake, Wang Kun communicated with the system and opened a new world instance. With a twist of space and time, he found himself amid a dense forest. At the same time, information about this new world appeared in his mind.

"Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre!"

"So this is a true martial arts world. The power levels should surpass those of Deer and the Cauldron."

"But overall, it still won’t exceed the strength of a War God."

War Gods in the Swallowing the Starry Sky world possess formidable combat power. Even the greatest masters of these martial arts worlds may not equal a War God. With this in mind, Wang Kun summoned his beautiful and loyal followers.

"Spread out and gather intel on our exact location."

"Yes, Master!"

About an hour later, Wang Kun had determined their whereabouts and the general trajectory of the plot.

"Wudang Mountain, Zhang Sanfeng’s centennial birthday banquet?"

"So, the imminent event is the alliance of the six major sects ascending Wudang, pressing Zhang Sanfeng during his hundredth birthday banquet to force Zhang Cuishan to reveal the whereabouts of Xie Xun and the Dragon Saber."

"I wonder if Zhang Cuishan’s wife, Zhang Wuji’s mother, Yin Susu, qualifies as a target for the loyal follower card."

With that thought, Wang Kun immediately set off for Wudang Mountain. His followers remained at the foot of the mountain. As the plot had not advanced far yet, Zhang Wuji was still a child, and both Zhou Zhiruo and Zhao Min—connected to the storyline—had not yet matured.

One was a Mongol princess, pampered and arrogant from youth, destined for a life full of wicked deeds. The other, Zhou Zhiruo, though obedient in her early years, would later become a ruthless villainess. With their potential for transformation, Wang Kun was determined not to let them slip from his grasp. If the opportunity arose, he would certainly make them his loyal followers.

On Wudang Mountain, when Wang Kun reached the summit, the six major sects had already arrived. They were preparing to confront Zhang Sanfeng, demanding that he hand over Zhang Cuishan and give the martial world a proper explanation.

"Master Zhang, Emei has always respected Wudang, but today, Zhang Cuishan must come forward and account for himself to the martial world. If not, Wudang will be the enemy of all sects."

As Abbess Miejue spoke, the experts of Shaolin, Kongtong, and other sects began to stir, their eyes fixed on the white-haired Zhang Sanfeng.

At that moment, Zhang Cuishan stepped out before everyone.

"Don’t trouble my master."

"I, Zhang Cuishan, take responsibility for my actions. This matter concerns neither my master nor Wudang."

Seeing Zhang Cuishan willingly stand forth, the various sects shifted their focus to him.

"Very well, then tell us the whereabouts of Golden Lion King Xie Xun!"

"Yes, reveal Xie Xun’s location!"

They spoke only of Xie Xun, not the Dragon Saber, revealing their hypocrisy.

"I know you righteous sects have waited for me. All this is just to find the Dragon Saber."

"The Dragon Saber, supreme in the martial world, commands all under heaven."

"Rest assured, today I will give you a satisfactory answer."

With these words, Zhang Cuishan drew his sword, pointing it at the assembled crowd. The martial artists tensed, ready for conflict. Yet in the next instant, Zhang Cuishan sheathed his sword and committed suicide, blood splattering on the floor.

"Senior Brother!"

"Junior Brother!"

"Cuishan!"

The members of Wudang were shocked, rushing to his side. Behind them, Yin Susu, upon seeing Zhang Cuishan’s sudden suicide, was heartbroken and sobbing uncontrollably.

From a hidden spot nearby, Wang Kun watched the scene, hesitated no longer, and used three loyal follower cards.

In an instant, the grief-stricken Yin Susu’s eyes grew calm. At the same time, Jingxuan and Ding Minjun, two Emei disciples, turned to look toward Wang Kun’s location.
