Incredible Insight: Cultivating Immortality at Eight, Astonishing Zhang Sanfeng-Chapter 165

Chapter 165

But as he glanced at his wife and daughter, he slowly shook his head.

Even if he had known the truth, he wouldn’t have chosen to go. Leaving his loved ones for decades or even centuries in pursuit of martial arts was something he couldn’t do.

It was clear that the island imposed restrictions. Otherwise, why had no news ever come from those who went there?

Ning Changge listened quietly, his expression unchanged. Their explanation aligned with what he already knew. It seemed that Xia Ke Island in this world hadn’t deviated much from its usual pattern.

The Wood Island Master, observing Ning Changge’s unchanging expression, decided to lay all his cards on the table.

“After Zhang San and Li Si returned, we learned of the Little Immortal’s presence on Peach Blossom Island. That’s why we’ve come to invite you personally. Your comprehension is unparalleled in the Nine Provinces. If you were to dedicate time to studying the martial art, you would undoubtedly master it!”

“We ask for nothing more than a copy of the martial art, should you succeed in comprehending it.”

The Dragon and Wood Island Masters looked at Ning Changge expectantly.

At this point, everyone understood why the two Land Immortals were being so deferential. They were banking on Ning Changge’s extraordinary comprehension.

The group couldn’t help but marvel at the disparity between people. To possess such monstrous talent that even Land Immortals would humble themselves—it was truly extraordinary.

All eyes turned to Ning Changge, eager to hear his response.

He spoke calmly, “If I refuse, will you attempt to take me by force?”

The Dragon Island Master smiled bitterly.

“Little Immortal, you misunderstand. The events on Mount Zhongnan are well-known. We are here with sincere intentions and have no desire to force you. Please reconsider.”

His words were partly true.

The truth was that Ning Changge was too powerful, and they weren’t confident in their ability to subdue him. Otherwise, their approach might have been different. After all, not every Jianghu expert invited to Xia Ke Island had gone willingly. Many had only chosen to stay after witnessing the opportunity presented by the stone wall.

The Dragon Island Master gritted his teeth and said, “If the Little Immortal agrees to visit, we will owe you a favor!”

Huang Yaoshi and the others were stunned.

A favor from two Land Immortals!

Such a favor was invaluable. It was like having two protective talismans. If someone in the Jianghu possessed the favor of Land Immortals, most Heaven-Man experts wouldn’t dare to touch them.

Ning Changge nodded lightly.

A favor could be useful for Wudang.

“Very well. Since you’ve invited me, I’ll consider it. But I have one condition. I want to see the paths you’ve comprehended from the stone wall. If they interest me, I’ll accompany you.”

Ning Changge had no intention of wasting time.

No matter how powerful the Tai Xuan Scripture was, if it was merely a martial art, it wouldn’t be of much use to him.

If that were the case, he would have long since started collecting martial arts manuals from across the world.

In truth, he gained far more inspiration from Daoist texts. For example, the Nine Yin Manual contained many profound techniques, but they were of little value to him. Instead, the brief general principles, which weren’t even part of the martial art, had been immensely beneficial.

His words left everyone stunned. The Dragon and Wood Island Masters narrowed their eyes.

Ning Changge’s meaning was clear.

If their paths earned his approval, he would go with them.

“This Little Immortal is truly arrogant!” they thought, their hearts burning with anger.

They had shown him great respect, even humbling themselves, and had offered generous terms to invite him. Yet he had dismissed them so lightly.

Though Ning Changge’s reputation was formidable, they were no ordinary individuals.

To reach the Land Immortal realm required immense confidence. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to walk their paths to the end.

While it was true that Ning Changge had slain two Land Immortals on Mount Zhongnan, no one knew the exact circumstances.

The Dragon and Wood Island Masters exchanged a glance. The Dragon Island Master stepped forward and said, “If the Little Immortal wishes to see the martial art of the stone wall, then allow me to demonstrate.”

Ning Changge stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm.

“Both of you may attack together.”

His tone was serene, devoid of arrogance. He had no intention of underestimating them. He simply wanted to evaluate the Tai Xuan Scripture and the paths of the two Land Immortals. Moreover, having just reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he was eager to test his newfound strength.

“Very well!” the Wood Island Master exclaimed, his eyes flashing with cold light.

“Since the Little Immortal is so confident, we’ll oblige!”

The atmosphere shifted dramatically.

Moments ago, the Dragon and Wood Island Masters had been inviting Ning Changge to Xia Ke Island. Now, the three stood poised for battle. Huang Yaoshi and the others felt a surge of tension, followed by deep admiration. Ning Changge’s calm confidence left them in awe.

To challenge two Land Immortals at once, with such composure—how many in the world could do the same?

Huang Rong’s gaze was fixed on Ning Changge, her admiration deepening. The closer she was to him, the more captivated she became.

As the group retreated to a safe distance, they couldn’t take their eyes off the scene. Such a battle was not to be missed.

In the peach blossom forest, petals danced in the wind, swirling around the three figures. The beauty of the scene was tinged with the terrifying energy that filled the air.

Ning Changge stood beneath the spirit peach tree, his hands behind his back. The Dragon and Wood Island Masters stood opposite him, one on each side, their expressions solemn. Their initial irritation had given way to caution.

The youth before them was simply too unfathomable.
