950: Chapter 258_2 950: Chapter 258_2 ‘Youth leaves home, and returns an elder; the accent unchanged, gray hairs appear.
Children meet, recognize not the guest, and smiling ask, whence do you hail?’
Unexpectedly, the day had come when he returned to the Hundred Peaks Sect and found disciples who did not recognize him.
Cao Zhen sighed inwardly, just as he was about to speak, from behind, a figure flew down from afar, landing directly in front of the mountain gate of the Hundred Peaks Sect.
At the mountain gate, each disciple responsible for guarding the place saw the arrival and greeted with folded hands, “Greetings to Uncle Liao.”
Cao Zhen, hearing the voice, looked back and saw a face in his sight that seemed somewhat familiar.
It was a woman who looked very cold, and behind her, there were nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills, and even a faint trace of a tenth Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pill’s illusory shadow could be seen.
Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills?
Among the Golden Core Stage, that belonged to the strongest of existences.
If he had seen her before, he should have had a deep impression.
Upon seeing Cao Zhen, the woman was slightly startled, then she suddenly gave a salute in Cao Zhen’s direction, “Disciple Liao You Di, greets the Sect Leader True Person!”
She had seen the Sect Leader from afar before within the Immortal Sect.
Sect Leader?
At the mountain gate, each disciple, hearing this, froze as well, then they, too, came back to their senses and saluted Cao Zhen, “Disciple, greets the Sect Leader True Person!”
The Sect Leader, it turned out to be their Sect Leader.
The number one master of the Eastern Wasteland!
Although they were disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect, when they had joined the Hundred Peaks Sect, the Sect Leader had already disappeared.
In other places, other powers had been wary of the likes of Cao Zhen, and of Cao Zhen’s influence.
But inside the Hundred Peaks Sect, there really weren’t many representations of Cao Zhen left.
As a result, they didn’t even know what their own Sect Leader looked like.
When Cao Zhen heard what Liao You Di said, he realized why he found this woman familiar.
She was, after all, one of the geniuses brought back by Little Bei Yan on the day he and the others went out to gather disciples, along with Zhu Peng and Duo Duo.
Back then, Duo Duo, Zhu Peng, and Liao You Di, the woman before him, had a very good relationship and often stayed together.
To think, fifty years had passed in the blink of an eye, and the little girl of the past was now about to break through to the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection.
“Time flies indeed.
Looking at you, it seems you’re about to have a breakthrough as well.
And, the little girl of the past has now become an ‘Uncle’.”
Cao Zhen smiled as he glanced at Liao You Di, then looked around at the group of disciples, nodded with a smile towards them, and continued walking toward the Hundred Peaks Sect.
Meanwhile, he asked Liao You Di, “How is the Hundred Peaks Sect now?”
“Sect Leader, the world is beginning to stabilize now, our high-level masters of the Hundred Peaks Sect have also returned to the Immortal Sect, and more young disciples are being sent out for experience.
Moreover, these few days have exactly coincided with our Hundred Peaks Sect’s disciple selection period.”
“Recruitment?
It’s that time for recruitment again?
This time, are there any geniuses in the recruitment?” Cao Zhen was slightly stunned; his return had been well-timed.
“Reporting to the Sect Leader, in this recruitment, the two disciples with the most outstanding aptitudes are both High Level Immortal Bodies.
One of the disciples is named Yue Chong.
Speaking of which, this name is related to our Hundred Peaks Sect.”
Though Liao You Di seemed cold, she detailedly explained in response to Cao Zhen’s question: “His father, like me, hails from Jijiang City.
In the past, when chaos reigned across the land and the Demon Sect invaded Jijiang City, our Hundred Peaks Sect intervened and saved Jijiang City.
Therefore, his father named him Chong Feng, expressing veneration for our Hundred Peaks Sect.
He possesses a High Level Immortal Body, a Yinyun Holy Body, which is not simply a Fire Immortal Body or a Blade Immortal Body but suitable for joining a specific Peak.
Hence, this time within our Hundred Peaks Sect, besides peaks like Vermilion Bird Peak which are special, most peaks would likely want to recruit him as a disciple.”
Liao You Di paused for a moment as she spoke, then continued, “Besides him, there is another disciple with a High Level Immortal Body, named Zhen Yu.
She possesses a top-tier Fire Immortal Body.
Although the recruitment has just begun, it’s already decided that she will join Vermilion Bird Peak.”
Cao Zhen nodded; the more top-tier Immortal Bodies the Hundred Peaks Sect had, the better.
Although a top-level Immortal Physique aptitude doesn’t ensure success, the likelihood of becoming accomplished is much higher.
The stronger the disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect, the more its golden age is reinforced.
Cao Zhen and Liao You Di slowly walked towards the Sect.
Although he hadn’t informed anyone of his return, he was the Sect Leader after all.
As he arrived, the earlier disciples guarding the mountain gate immediately flew back to report the Sect Leader’s return.
Moreover, within the Hundred Peaks Sect, except for those who had joined in the last fifty years, most disciples recognized Cao Zhen.
In no time, the news that the Sect Leader had returned spread throughout the Hundred Peaks Sect.
It wasn’t long before Nie Jie, already leading a group of the high ranks of the Hundred Peaks Sect and numerous disciples from Four Treasures Peak, all arrived.
Cao Zhen, seeing the crowd arriving, waved his hand, “Alright, you know I don’t care for such formalities.
I hear that it’s the time for our Hundred Peaks Sect to choose disciples.
All of you should go back to your own selections; there is no need to stay with me.”
Upon hearing this, everyone promptly took their leave.
“Since that’s the case, then we shall take our leave, Sect Leader.”
The Sect Leader had returned, and as the high ranks of the Hundred Peaks Sect and Peak Masters, they had to come and see if the Sect Leader had any instructions.
