“With what happened to my teacher, I don’t dare to be careless. I have remembered all his various grievances and kindnesses with all of you. I have not forgotten!”

When his words landed, more cracks had formed.

A portion of them even started to spread to the mountain below, splitting the giant mountains into many pieces.

A moment later, that old voice spoke once again. This time he smiled bitterly, “If your master is still alive and knew his disciple was like that, he would be really happy. However, what happened that year didn’t have much to do with the 6 of us...”

“Who knows? In the future, there will be a day when the truth comes out!”

Wei Xu’s voice was faint, speaking as he patted Zong Shou’s shoulder, “This is my junior brother. Although he hasn’t officially entered, he will be the 2nd generation 7th direct disciple of the common people path! Today I led the 6 of you out using this Demon Mountain Sect to tell you all not to try anything with my junior brother. Don’t force me to go crazy and go all out!”

“Shut up!”

The voice this time was vast and magnificent. It was a man who was roughly 40 years of age-old. His tone was filled with fury.

“We are all experienced with the world, so how would we do things like that? The 6 of us have lived honestly and have never done things against our consciousness. Wei Xu, your words are just dirtying our years!”

“Really?” Wei Xu smiled without much care, “It’s good that you won’t. Oh right, about my common people path...The 6 of you used so many despicable methods during these thousands of years. Did you think that I don’t know? Don’t think that only that sword sect master would rage at you all. If you make me angry, I too can destroy your nest!”

The few strong intents exploded out in anger. Their souls were shaking. A moment later, they all scoffed coldly, retreating their intent from the area.

It took a moment before the entire thousand-mile sky region finally regain calmness. The splitting space started to swiftly return to normal. Only the giant mountain which was split apart was unable to be recovered.

Just as Zong Shou was looking at this senior brother with a respectful gaze, Wei Xu raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat off his head. Exclaiming, “It isn’t easy to scare these people away. This show that I put up was dangerous.”

He saw Zong Shou’s gaze turn into curiosity. Wei Xu didn’t hide it from him. He shook his head and explained, “These 6 people are old antiques that already existed in the cloud world ten thousand years ago during the cloud desolate era. But, they are not restricted in the cloud world. Although I don’t fear them and could even win, if I fight with them, there would be huge troubles in the future. However, I had to lead them out to see them. Your matter could be hidden from others but not from them. It’s was why if I was unable to threaten them and make them shut up, the more outstanding your cultivation gets, the more dangerous your situation will become. That was why I brought you over here...”

Zong Shou didn’t fully understand, only following and nodding his head. However, he understood why it couldn’t be hidden. Based on the voice of the woman who said he killed first, he knew that the few of them knew his situation like the back of his fingertip.

However, as for what the identities the 6 of them had and why they called themselves world venerables, he still didn’t understand.

He only knew that since they could cause Wei Xu to feel problematic and worried, then they were people of the same level.

Even in the last life, after adding in these 6 people, matters of this era which people couldn’t understand suddenly made some sense.

Wei Xu didn’t need him to understand, saying expressionlessly, “My actions today are for the 3 sects and 6 schools of the common people path. You also know that we are seen by all as a devilish sect, but we are enemies with the demon sect. Several thousand years ago, because of that large war, our relationships with the other sects became cold. Our situation is worrying. As a common people path disciple, your path in the future will be extremely tough. Filled with many dangers far more than you can imagine. This is why I am asking you are you willing, on your own accord, to join my common people path? If you aren’t, I won’t make things difficult for you and will help you find another good teacher.”

Zong Shou blinked, unsure whether or not Wei Xu was lying or not.

He fought with the sword sect for close to half a year for him and even gave up a dual cultivating genius. How could they give up on him?

If he said he wasn’t willing, a slap might come over and smash him into meat paste.

However, such probing methods were a little too low class.

“I know you don’t believe me, but these words do come from my heart and is not fake.”

Looking at Zong Shou’s face of disdain, Wei Xu laughed helplessly, “Do you need me to do a soul oath? Actually to me, if a disciple can join the sect willingly and not be angry with it, that is the most important. Talents are all secondary.”

Zong Shou thought carefully for a moment, not replying whether or not he was willing, slightly hesitating, “I can’t learn and don’t want to learn your common people path theories and beliefs.

“I don’t need you to learn all those.”

Wei Xu expected that long ago, his tone was a little tired, “My common people path is created for equality of the common people. However, today, the sect is not pure anymore. Within a sect, half of the disciples join because of power and cultivation. One more of you won’t make a difference. As long as you are willing to follow sect rules and help when the sect is in danger, then it is fine.”

Zong Shou’s eyes instantly lit up, if he wanted him to learn those values and ideals left behind then he would rather die.

Senior brother Wei Xu was good at understanding a person’s heart and seemed to be sincere.

His heart settled down slightly. Then, he mentioned the 2nd thing, “After entering I would like to see your sect, the 3 sects and the 6 schools’ all manuals.”

Wei Xu nodded his head once more, “Of course! Even if you aren’t willing I would push all those books in front of you.”

“Would you force me to do those things against my will?”

“No. I don’t know about the disciples of the other 3 sects and 6 schools but our main common people path sect is where everyone is equal and everything is done based on your own will.”

“Senior brother do you have the confidence in maintaining the name of our common people path and not follow in the steps of that Demon Mountain Sect?”

“Demon Mountain Sect? What even is that?” Wei Xu understood what Zong Shou meant, mocking himself, “That bit of confidence is something your senior brother has.”

Zong Shou curled his lips, “Then why would I be unwilling?”

Wei Xu instantly laughed out loud, saying “good”. Then, he drew out with his hands, drawing a long crack in the sky before walking in first.

Zong Shou didn’t hesitate at all and followed in.

Just as that crack was about to disappear, a person suddenly stepped out from the foot of the mountain. His expression was dark and filled with endless amounts of viciousness.

However, just as this person was about to leave, there was a vast giant strength which surged crazily over. Directly smashing his head and body into pieces. That soul was burnt in a gold flame right as it left its body, burning it all to ashes.

Zong Shou was now in a huge hall. Looking at the style it should be within an ancestral hall. However, it was exceptionally huge.

Above, there were thousands of tablets. In the center, the common people path ancestor Xi Zi. On the right, there was a spiritual tablet that was listed along with it.

Its identity should be respected. There wasn’t a name on it, left empty.

This place was empty but it was really clean, incense floating about. Wei Xu lit up 3 joss sticks and passed it to Zong Shou. Following which he led him to the front of the empty tablet, solemnly saying, “Junior brother please kneel 3 times and kowtow 9 times as a form of respect!”

Zong Shou was speechless, thinking that his master that died didn’t have a name? His face was solemn as he bowed 3 times and kowtowed 9 times. He then stuck the joss sticks into the golden tripod in front of the tablets, saying, “Disciple Zong Shou greets teacher!”

Wei Xu slightly nodded and bowed too. He stood up and said, “The ritual is done! From today on you are the 7th direct disciple of our common people path main sect!”

After hearing that, Zong Shou was instantly startled. This sect entering ritual was over just like that? He originally thought his entry would be a solemn matter and that some people would be invited to watch. He could be considered an ancestor rank person of the sect. If it was proper sects like Lingyun Sect, they might even announce it to the world.

Wei Xu didn’t explain anything. His first forcefully took some blood from the wounds on Zong Shou’s body. He then took out a golden talisman and wrote Zong Shou’s name as well as birthdate following which the talisman ignited by itself, turning into spiritual light and heading upwards.

Zong Shou took a look only to see a golden book at the arced roof of the place opening up.

Along with the spiritual light seeping in, a new page was formed. On it wrote “Lin Xuanshuang elder disciple Zong Shou” while below wrote his birth date.

This golden book was really thin. It had a total of only 240 over pages. His page was the 17th.

“This booth is our common people path treasure, the mysterious life golden book! As long as one’s real name is written down, no matter where one is at, as long as one didn’t die on the spot and have your soul wiped, one could use the power of the book to ensure the true spirit doesn’t dissipate. If the golden page isn’t destroyed and if an end realm expert is willing to use his life force to help take charge of this book. One could even go against the heavens and take back the soul. This place can warn us if anyone in the book is heavily injured or dies. Those of the same sect no matter how far they are could sense it and go forward to help. I remember when the common people path was at its most prosperous, there was a total of 499 pages. Today, only half is left. As for the remaining pages, most have already. The common people that teacher gathered either died or scattered, less than 10% remain!”

As he said that, his brows furrowed, “I have said too much. Why did I tell you all this for? Junior brother remembers, Lin Xuanshuang is the name of your teacher and is also the wife of teacher Xi Zi. The seven spirit sect and Taiyuan Sect were created by her sisters. Roughly 2200 years ago suddenly death news was sent out. The only fortunate thing was that the golden page of the book still hadn’t collapsed. Only her true name disappeared, turning into an empty page. As long as our sect has more end realm and even true realm experts to help go against the heavens to summon her soul to help reform her body.”
