1221: Chapter 305_2 1221: Chapter 305_2 “I am at the limit of the Golden Core Stage,” he declared, “and my disciples too.
Tell me if anyone catches your eye, I’ll call them to help you overcome your tribulation.”
Upon hearing Cao Zhen’s offer to aid with the Heavenly Tribulation, Array Sound’s eyes lit up, and he eagerly responded: “We would certainly welcome Cao Dao Companion’s help with our tribulation.
As for the disciples of Cao Dao Companion…
I’m not sure, Dao Companion Cao, can you confirm if your disciple has fully recuperated?
If so, we would be glad to receive their help too.”
Cao Zhen knew that Array Sound was referring to Ling Xi, who single-handedly confronted the Bloodbath Demon in the ruins after all.
“Rest assured, my disciple will return to her peak state before your sect’s tribulation,” Cao Zhen promised and then, with a sly smile like a crafty merchant, looked at Array Sound and said, “Sect Hierarch, since my disciple and I will help you with your tribulation, how about transferring those two acres of Immortal Fields to us…”
Array Sound hesitated, knowing the best option was to accept Cao Zhen’s help for overcoming the tribulation.
However, he was somewhat reluctant to part with the two acres of First Grade Immortal Fields, as they retained their value regardless of their future yield.
Cao Zhen, noticing Array Sound’s indecision, added, “Additionally, I have another disciple at the pinnacle of the Golden Core Stage.
I can summon him here to help the Five Sounds Sect navigate the Sect Tribulation.”
“What!”
The crowd around them was stunned by Cao Zhen’s revelation of another disciple at the Golden Core Stage Limit.
Cao Zhen hailed from a Sect, not from a Great Teaching.
In their Five Sounds Sect, across the entire Great Teaching, not a single one had reached the Golden Core Period Limit.
Even in the Dragon Chant Sect, the most elite among them, there were only two such individuals.
Now, Cao Zhen had declared that he possessed yet another disciple at that pinnacle—suggesting that his Sect had at least two at the Golden Core Stage Limit!
What kind of Sect could be so powerful?
Was it really just a Sect?
That was the Golden Core Stage Limit!
Immortal Bi Yue seemed unsurprised; during her chat with Ling Xi previously, she had asked if Ling Xi was the strongest among Cao Zhen’s disciples.
Ling Xi had said no, and mentioned that the absent disciple was actually the strongest, also at the Golden Core Period Limit.
Ling Xi related that her third junior brother was the most tenacious and talented in their cultivation.
It seemed there were neither cultivation techniques nor divine skills that he couldn’t master.
While other disciples might need ten days to master the same techniques, he could possibly master them in just a day or two.
Array Sound, somewhat incredulously and perhaps a bit sceptically, glanced at Bi Yue and, seeing her unsurprised expression, began to believe.
Bi Yue knew of that disciple, or else she wouldn’t appear so composed.
With one more individual at the Golden Core Stage Limit, including Cao Zhen, that added up to two more than they had anticipated, increasing their chances of successfully overcoming the Sect Tribulation.
He glanced again at the two acres of First Grade Immortal Fields and nodded heavily: “Since Dao Companion Cao has said so, it would seem petty for our Five Sounds Sect to refuse.”
The fate of those fields was sealed, destined to be wasted; giving them away for an extra high-level cultivator at the Golden Core Stage Limit was worthwhile.
If declined, who knew if Cao Zhen would still assist in the tribulation?
That would mean missing out on two powerful individuals, including Cao Zhen’s female disciple who, while not at the limit, was stronger than most close to it.
His only concern was…
Curiously, Array Sound inquired: “May I know where this disciple of Dao Companion Cao is?
If it’s too far, they might not arrive in time.”
Cao Zhen promptly replied: “He is currently at Cloud Reaching Sect and has already set out towards the Five Sounds Sect.”
“Cloud Reaching Sect?” Array Sound paused, then nodded, “Coming from Cloud Reaching Sect, he should have enough time.
Coincidentally, two Dao Companions from Cloud Reaching Sect are also coming to aid our Sect with the tribulation; perhaps they could travel together.”
Cao Zhen was indifferent about whether Xiang Ziyu and others were traveling together, pointing towards the fields and asked: “Sect Hierarch, since you have given the fields to me, should not the Immortal Herbs growing on them be included as well?”
“Of course, of course,” Array Sound nodded, resigning to the logic that if the fields were given away, the herbs had nowhere else to be planted, and thus must be included as well.
He even pondered if Cao Zhen’s insistence on the fields was not for the fields themselves but for the herbs growing on them.
He could hardly believe Cao Zhen wanted to restore those fields.
After all, the Master of Field Way from the Eastern Province, summoned by his grand-uncle previously, renowned throughout, could only prolong their life, not restore them.
While he was reflecting, Cao Zhen spoke again: “By the way, since we are helping your sect with the tribulation, we should also be able to choose the treasures bestowed by the Heavenly Dao afterward.
We must not leave those out.”
