Wei Suifeng, Yun Jianli and Yuchenzi were all rather displeased, but they had to admit that they had nearly stifled Hua Xuanxiu's creativity.
Yu Chudu, by contrast, was delighted. He was Hua Xuanxiu's teacher, and in instructing this young girl day by day he cared greatly for her growth.
"Besides Hua Xuanxiu, there is half a Heavenly Venerable in the Wendao Academy. Who was it that opened up the other three Heavenly Gates?"
Shen Mu's curiosity was roused. "This person opened up half a realm; he may be called half a Heavenly Venerable."
"It came about when Crown Prince Youming and Wenyuan were studying the divine abilities and Dao methods under Granny Zhu."
Yuchenzi said, "Granny Zhu has a deep understanding of the Dao Realm system. Wenyuan and Crown Prince Youming studied the Dao Realms of the divine abilities with her and came to comprehend the system of the Northern Emperor's divine abilities and Dao methods. Wenyuan was always hard put to bring the Northern Emperor's divine abilities and Dao methods to their utmost. Crown Prince Youming taught him — but strangely, the Crown Prince himself could not bring the Northern Emperor's divine abilities to their utmost either. Granny Zhu at first thought it was a matter of bloodline, and even drew the Crown Prince's blood to study it; in the end she concluded that the root lay neither in the bloodline nor in the cultivation method. The three of them pondered it long, and felt that the Heavenly Palace system was missing something."
Shen Mu listened, and asked, "Wenyuan? Which Wenyuan?"
Yuchenzi said in surprise, "The young sect master of your own Heavenly Sacred Sect. You are the old sect master — and you do not even know?"
"I have become the old sect master?"
Shen Mu was struck dumb as a wooden statue, and with difficulty turned his head to look at Wei Suifeng. "Elder Brother, when was I stripped of my authority? And why is it that even I know nothing of this?"
