The Celestial Masters Mansion on Longhu Mountain is one of the four great Daoist ancestral courts. Although it cannot compare to the five major sects—Kunlun, Tianzong, Demon Sect, Shaolin, and Wudang—beneath those five, who else could rival it?
Zhao Tianzhen, the current Celestial Master of the Longhu Mountain Celestial Masters Mansion, is also one of the top ten Peak Martial Saints. The elder Celestial Master, Zhang Huaiyi, was once ranked third among the top ten Peak Martial Saints, though nowadays, given his advanced age, he has lost that competitive drive.
By the time Nie Kuang climbed the mountain, it was the depth of winter. Walking up the stone steps, he was met with withered vines, old trees, and a scene of desolation where all things had faded. Had he come a bit earlier, he would have been greeted by the breathtaking autumn scenery of mountains covered in red and forests dyed in layers, a view so stunning one would never want to leave.
