The Earthly Celestial Master, where does it come from?
It is not self-proclaimed, nor is it revered by the people of the martial world, but it is sealed by the Heavenly Court.
Legend has it that after achieving success in cultivation, Heavenly Master Xu and his family lived on the West Mountain. One day, an immortal being descended from heaven, came to the Xu family, and recited the will of the Heavenly Emperor, bestowing upon Xu Xun the title of Heavenly Master and inviting him to take office in the Heavenly Court.
Thus the anecdote of "the whole family of Xu Xun, along with the chickens and dogs in his house, ascended to heaven" came into existence.
Similar is the case of Zhang Daoling, the ancestral master of the "Heavenly Master Dao" of Dragon Tiger Mountain, who was also sealed by the Heavenly Court and entered the Heavenly Court to take office.
