Wen Zhong nodded his head and smiled. He wielded his sleeves and picked Muzhen up and place him on the back of the Qilin. The Qilin let out a low roar and flew towards Dongcheng.

A man flashed out from the Meridian Gate. It was the executioner. He was extremely dissatisfied and as he witnessed Wen Zhong took off with the Qilin. He pointed at Wen Zhong’s figure and said, “One day, you will die in my hands.”

The executioner made the oath as he watched Wen Zhong leave. But deep down, he was secretly impressed and admired the marvelous means of Qi cultivators. That was his very first time in his entire life that he had ever doubted the power of the Xia Clan. After all, regardless of how strong one was, it would be a joke if one failed to strike your opponent.

“Yun Zhongjun, these are the Emperor’s orders. Now that the Dragon Head Guillotine has been damaged, you should no longer serve as the execution officer. Please return home and reflect on yourself.” A eunuch came out from Wangcheng with an iron plate, it was the token of order from Emperor Xia.

The executioner’s name was Yun Zhongjun. His original surname was Yun, and it was one of the Eight Great Surnames. His mother was a royalty of Xia. For many years, he was the execution officer at the Meridian Gate and had never failed at his job.

Yun Zhongjun said, “Emperor, I have been serving you relentlessly for the past few years. But one mistake render me expelled. This is indeed your style. What else is there for me to self-reflect on? From now onwards, I have nothing to do with the Xia Kingdom.”

He removed his robe to reveal a ripped body. Like a leaking balloon, his body deflated rapidly and turned scrawny. The Qi of essence then dispersed to invade the Meridian Gate, causing it to collapse.

Just like that, the most notorious territory of Wangcheng turned into a wasteland.

The eunuch was frightened, “Are you giving up on the royal blood?”

Yun Zhongjun pulled out a white robe and wrapped it around his body. He said, “Since I am leaving, I should cut clean from everything.”

Emperor Xia witnessed the scene at the Meridian Gate. He could not help but smiled and uttered under his breath, “That kid.”

The Meridian Gate executioner officer was a significant position that only important figures could hold. If one failed to deliver, he would bring shame to the prestige of Xia Kingdom.

Yun Zhongjun held on to his position for years and had never once missed. This incident was an accident and there was no need for Emperor Xia to remove him from his position. But Emperor Xia did it anyway.

Bystanders would have thought that Emperor Xia was being temperamental. But in actual fact, it was the affection of Emperor Xia that prompted him to release Yun Zhongjun. After all, Wangcheng was too small to breed a true dragon.

He was not a pure descendant of the Xia and without this burden, he would be able to do greater things out there.

Emperor Xia was capable of handling the sudden turbulence in the Xia Kingdom. He crossed his arms, looked at the sky and thought to himself, “You have groomed me to what I am today and do not even think about destroying me.”

The black blade flew into the hands of Emperor Xia and he caught it with his backhand. It felt like he was ‘dissecting’ the laws and heaven and earth and the. A tablet appeared, it wrote, ‘The law of man takes from what it lacks in order to supply what was in abundance’.

Each and every character was stained with blood and possessed with demonic characteristics. It was haunting and terrifying.

…

In Dongcheng, within the Yin Garden, someone had a wooden knife. His knife play was the endless water stream and the constellation that had an eternal movement pattern.

It was Wuding who was practicing his knife technique. He took it very seriously and was using his strength to its optimum capacity. He was oozing a star-like mana and created an indestructible knife domain.

“The Dao of nature takes from what is abundance to supply to the deficient.” Guan Longzi’s eyes were filled with surprise as he watched Wuding.

Wuding’s knife technique had improved tremendously and went beyond the purpose of the laws of heaven. He knew more than enough, and he could compliment his weaknesses with his strength to form a perfect knife domain and step into the perfect state of Qi cultivators called Dan Dao. Although his Flying Stars Incantation had yet to achieve the levels of walking celestials of the earth, it had the basis of entering the stage of celestialism of Primordial Spirit.

Throughout the times, many cultivators were stuck at this very stage, but Wuding was able to break through it easily.

“My good disciple, you are not considered a cultivator of Dao.” Laughters could be heard coming from the sky. Before Wuding could retract his knife, the earth shook. a Qilin covered with thin clouds landed on the ground.

There were two people on the Qilin. They were Wen Zhong and Muzhen.

Muzhen descended from the Qilin and greeted Wuding politely, “I am Muzhen, greetings to Young Master Zi Zhao.”

Wuding thought Muzhen looked familiar but once he heard his name, he smiled and said, “You are the Chief Daoist of Xuanzhen Temple.” The Xuanzhen Temple may not be welcomed at Xia Kingdom, but to Yinshang, the temple was exactly what they needed. After all, the Xuanzhen Temple’s cultivation methods were authentic and their methods were difficult at first but would get easier along the way with minimal after effects. This was the supplement that the Qi cultivators of Yinshang could really use more of for their cultivation development.

He kept his knife and passionately held Muzhen’s hand. He then bowed down to greet Wen Zhong, “Greetings from your useless disciple, my master.”

Wen Zhong responded, “How are you useless? You are so much stronger now compared to me back then. You should master the Flying Stars Incantation soon so I can take you to meet your grandmaster.”

Wen Zhong wielded his sleeves and gently help Wuding up.

Wen Zhong looked towards Guan Longzi and said, “This must be teacher Guan Longzi. I have admired you for a long time.”

Guan Longzi turned towards Wen Zhong and smiled, “I have heard so much about you and now that I finally get to meet you, I am quite surprised of your background.”

Wen Zhong said, “Your knowledge is indeed as deep as the ocean as you could tell the lineage of my knowledge with just a glance.”

“I should have thought of it earlier. Besides the Lady Mother of the Chariot who was the leader of the constellations, who else could create such a deep Dao incantation like the Flying Star Incantation? I am guessing that Brother Wen is the disciple of the Lady Mother of the Chariot,” Guan Longzi responded in a soft voice as he revealed an information that Muzhen was stunned to hear.

In the ancient times, the stronger ghost and gods would transform their spirits into stars after they passed on. This was another method for them to exist longer within the universe. These stars were not happy with each other and tried to outshine their opponents. They fought all day and eventually the moon engulfed some of the stars.

The stars then came together and attacked the moon, causing the moon to have its waxes and its wane. It was the stars’ way of saying, that the well water should not interfere with the river water. This is a Chinese saying of not interfering with each other’s businesses. But that did not end the battles between the stars. In fact, the stars got greedier and the desire to possess more starlight increased.

At that very moment, a star appeared and tamed all the raging stars. That particular star was the Lady Mother of the Chariot. Technically, the Lady Mother of the Chariot was not the brightest star. However, the Dao incantation that she cultivated could project her Primordial Spirit to the void and transformed into a star. She was traveling the starry skies and saw the battle between the stars, and tried to suppress them. Eventually, the stars were convinced and ceased their battle.

She earned the name ‘Lady Mother of the Chariot’ from this incident and became the true leader of the constellations.
