Chapter 2050 - 1546-1547: Turtle and Snake Mountain in People’s Hearts! Dragon Turtle Resurrection!_3

At such a sight, the younger brother was stunned on the spot, staring at the sword his elder brother had clearly and deliberately stabbed astray, then looking again at the blood?soaked severed arm fallen to the ground and the corpses of the clansmen around them. In an instant he came to a great awakening, howling madly, flinging away his long saber in remorse, throwing his arms around his brother and breaking down in tears.

Elsewhere, in a stern and imposing sect compound, a pretty young woman was clutching the dagger in her hands with a trembling grip, her eyes filled with hatred and tangled emotions as she fixed her gaze on the sick?to?the?marrow old man lying behind the beaded curtain on the bed opposite. Time and again she wanted to step forward and personally butcher this enemy, and time and again she struggled frenziedly within her heart.

Suddenly, it was as if she had steeled herself; she grit her teeth, lifted the beaded curtain and entered the room, her eyes locked on the deathly pale face of the old man, just about to hurl herself forward and end this foe with a single ruthless thrust.

Yet the old man seemed to sense the young woman’s arrival. He slowly opened his eyes, tired yet delighted, and said, "Is that you, Huan’er?"

The young woman’s delicate body shuddered; in panic she hid the dagger behind her back. The old man slowly turned his head, his kindly yet clouded eyes resting upon her figure. On that illness?ridden face a smile appeared as he said, "Huan’er, this teacher’s days are numbered... The one I am least at ease about, is you... In those years, as your teacher I failed your parents; and now I am to depart before you have fully grown, to leave ahead of time. I thought... you would not be willing to forgive me... Since you have come back today, take this Qianyuan Pill with you..."

The young woman started, staring intently at the Qianyuan Pill the old man drew from his sleeve, and said in a trembling voice, "This Qianyuan Pill— you schemed and struggled so hard to obtain it. Was it not meant for Brother Kun?"

The old man let out a hoarse, bitter laugh. "Don’t be foolish, Huan’er. You know full well what kind of aptitude your Brother Kun has. Only if this Qianyuan Pill is used on you can it bring forth its greatest effect. Quickly take the elixir and leave the sect at once. Do not ever come back..."

Her heartstrings quivered; she staggered forward and truly took the elixir from the old man’s hand. Seeing his aura swiftly growing weaker, she could no longer suppress herself— the dagger slipped from her grasp as she burst into grief?stricken sobs.

"Master!"

Scenes like these, of turning hatred into virtue, continued to unfold across the world, further increasing the auspicious energy between Heaven and Earth, while within the Sky the Fallen Heaven and Earth Intent, clogged with resentment, continued to wane.

...

"Thinking of the vastness of Heaven and Earth, I am left alone in grief, tears falling!"

"Before me, I see no ancients; behind me, I see no one to come!"

"Before me, I see no ancients; behind me, I see no one to come— haha, Master Zhang, what we are about to do now is precisely a feat such that before us there were no ancients, and after us there will be no one to come!"

On Wudang Mountain, Xiao Sanxiao sensed from afar the presence of the Three Spirits, and burst into hearty laughter. He turned his head with carefree grace, looked at Zhang Sanfeng and stroked his beard as he spoke.

Zhang Sanfeng’s brows were kindly and his eyes benevolent; with a smile he nodded, then suddenly stood upon the green rock, set his frame in the posture of Tai Chi Boxing, letting Qi move with intent, body follow spirit, bending as needed and stretching as needed, yielding yet containing steel as he slowly began to perform Tai Chi Boxing.

A naturally arising, vast and righteous Momentum rose from his body. His Primordial Spirit’s inspiration continuously converged, and it was as if he, as a whole, gradually came to share a single rhythm with the entire Wudang Mountain.

When he moved, the mountain moved.

When the mountain moved, he moved.

He was the mountain, and the mountain was him— one man, one mountain; this is Immortal!

In a daze, Zhang Sanfeng’s entire figure had already vanished.

It was as if he had transformed into a wisp of Qi, and that wisp of Qi became a dragon, became a turtle, became a snake, becoming a single wheel of Tai Chi.

He was still there on the green rock, practicing his boxing, yet it was also as though he had already vanished from that spot— those who could not perceive the True Martial Realm could not sense his existence at all.

In that instant, the entire Ascension Cliff seemed to shimmer with light.

Upon Ascension Cliff, Zhang Sanfeng’s mind and Primordial Spirit ascended together. His mind and Primordial Spirit, together with Wudang Mountain’s Qi Fortune accumulated over the years, and the Emperor Zhenwu’s favor, including his own Life Chart, fused into a single whole.

Rumor in the Martial World had it that Zhang Sanfeng was the reincarnation of Emperor Zhenwu. This time, with his Tai Chi spirit he sacrificed the small self to fulfill the great self, merging into Wudang, merging into Tai Chi, igniting Wudang’s Qi Fortune, and calling forth again the soul of the True Martial Dragon Turtle.

Back then, after the Dragon Turtle died, its remains had, in truth, long since turned to dust in the four thousand years of wasted time. To seek a truly existing Turtle and Snake Mountain is in fact to be ensnared by appearances, carving a mark on the boat to seek a sword.

Turtle and Snake Mountain is not found in any single place under Heaven, yet it is found in every place under Heaven.

For so long as Turtle and Snake Mountain exists in a person’s heart, Turtle and Snake Mountain will exist within his heart. The Dragon Turtle turned toward goodness; Turtle and Snake Mountain is that portion of goodness within the human heart.

Zhang Sanfeng sat in withered contemplation within the mountain for a hundred days, and when his self and the entire Wudang Mountain had fused into one, he finally comprehended this truth.

At that moment, Turtle and Snake Mountain was already seated within his heart.

Thus, he told Jiang Dali that he had found Turtle and Snake Mountain, that he could resurrect the Dragon Turtle.

At the same time, Xiao Sanxiao, laughing madly, suddenly hardened his heart and struck viciously. Both palms shot out together, slamming into the bodies of his two great rebellious sons— the Great Demon God Xiao Jingtian and the Great Master Xiao Aoshi— who were bound at the edge of the cliff.

At once there were two muffled booms, and blood?light erupted in a violent bloom.

A great mass of Dragon Turtle Essence Blood was forcibly driven out of his two sons’ bodies by Xiao Sanxiao’s astounding palm power.

"You old bastard!!"

The screams of Xiao Jingtian and Xiao Aoshi could not alter Xiao Sanxiao’s resolve to Save the World. Blood tears streamed from his eyes; with a hoarse laugh, he suddenly raised a palm and brought it crashing down upon his own Heavenly Spirit.

Crack!!——!

A spine?chilling thunder of shattering bone exploded.

A vast surge of Dragon Turtle Essence Blood gushed at once from every pore of Xiao Sanxiao’s body, fusing in midair with the Dragon Turtle Essence Blood spraying from Xiao Jingtian and Xiao Aoshi.

Xiao Sanxiao bled from all seven apertures, his appearance utterly wretched, yet he still forced a ghastly smile as he looked at his two sons, his eyes shining with fierce light.

"Listen well, you two unfilial brats. In this life, it is your old man who owes you. But even if I am not a qualified father, I will absolutely be a man without shame before the world. I, Laozi, will resurrect the Dragon Turtle— this is the command the Dragon Turtle gave me four thousand years ago!!"

"Aaah!——!"

An even stronger blood?light rushed into the heavens in an instant.

It gathered in midair into a bloody Tai Chi.

Vast Energy began to rapidly converge toward that bloody Tai Chi. A fierce Dragon Power brewed within, causing the whole of Wudang Mountain to quake violently and making countless Players in the mountain cry out in astonishment.

The Dragon Turtle was about to be resurrected!...
