When the two came beneath the city wall, Daoist Bai Yu said in a deep voice, "Jiang Baigui, former Imperial Preceptor of Jingping, and the Senior Emperor Yanfeng, have come to lend our aid.
" The Creators had never heard their names; they exchanged glances and did not dare open the gates. It was at this moment that Yan Yunxi, having marshaled the armies of the Creators and the Carefree Realm, arrived.
Hearing this, she was overjoyed; she climbed the city tower to look, and was even more pleased. She laughed and said to the clan leaders of the Creator races, "Jingping's foremost Heavenly Master and their Heavenly Emperor have arrived!
Follow me and welcome them! " The city gates swung wide, and towering Creators lined both sides.
Yan Yunxi led the clan leaders out to greet them in person, saying, "Zixi, Heavenly Master of Kaihuang, leads the leaders of all the Creator races in respectfully welcoming the foremost Heavenly Master of Jingping and His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor of Jingping!
" Monk Lingyue was astonished. Standing on the palm of the Western Emperor Artifact, he laughed, "How did I become the Heavenly Emperor of Jingping? Say no such thing—I am only the Senior Emperor of Jingping.
" Daoist Bai Yu stepped forward and said, "Heavenly Master Zixi, I am the former Imperial Preceptor of Jingping, not a Heavenly Master. " Yan Yunxi said, "Every era has a group of supremely wise and extraordinary people, with abilities that reach to heaven and earth.
They are skilled in war, yet they have no blazing feats of arms; their names sink into obscurity. " She then invited them into the city and said with a laugh, "I have pored over ancient histories and countless old records and found a passage saying that during the Longhan era there was a Longshan Hermit, the foremost Heavenly Master of the Longhan era, who conquered the Heavenly Master Shang Pingyin.
Yet no record of his military exploits has been handed down.
Daoist friend Jiang Baigui, you two broke the million-strong host under the Heavenly Court's four Heavenly Masters; no military achievement will be recorded for you either, but your results shine brilliantly—does that not make you the foremost Heavenly Master of Jingping? " "The foremost Heavenly Master of the Longhan era, the Longshan Hermit?
" Daoist Bai Yu was lost in admiration, and smiled. "That senior sought neither fame nor profit—truly admirable. " Yan Yunxi laughed, "The magnificent deed the two of you have accomplished today may stand beside the Longshan Hermit's! "
