960: 259 Chapter 6 960: 259 Chapter 6 Moreover, his talent was also exceptional since he was born in our Hundred Peaks Sect and received teachings from an early age.
After the age of ten, he left the Academy and joined Flying Immortal Peak.
Now, forty years have passed, and he has become a Nine Abnormal Phenomena Golden Pill.
Moreover, not long ago, he faintly began to form the shadow of the tenth extraordinary Golden Pill.
It seems that after Liao Youdi’s breakthrough, Shen Lid will also break through to become a Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection.”
“That…
that means, that family, has three Immortal Bodies?” Cao Zhen was stunned, wondering what the situation with the parents of those three children was.
“More accurately, it’s four Immortal Bodies,” explained Li Ke.
“Four years after Shen Lid was born, his mother bore him a younger brother who, although not a Top-Level Immortal Body, is a Medium Immortal Body.
However, after that, they did not have any more children.”
Li Ke spoke, pausing briefly before looking at Cao Zhen with a slight hesitation before finally speaking, “It seems that the couple might have chosen not to have more children, or perhaps it is for another reason, but in any case, they did not have more children.
However, the four children they did have are all Immortal Bodies, and one of them is even a Top-Level Immortal Body.
Although the other three aren’t Top-Level Immortal Bodies, their talents are all exceptional.
Now, all of them are in the Golden Core Stage.
Therefore, within our Hundred Peaks Sect, some have proposed whether we could discuss with the couple about having another child.
However, this proposal was directly rejected by the Vice Sect Master, who stated that whether they have children or not is their own choice, and our Hundred Peaks Sect must not force the couple to have children just because their offspring are talented.
That would turn them into mere breeding tools, making us no different from the Demon Sect.” The matter was thus dropped.
However, although the couple did not have more children, they have always been in the Hundred Peaks Sect, teaching those boys in the Academy and slowly coming into contact with Immortal Cultivation.
Although the two are not any Immortal Bodies, they do have some talent in Cultivation.
Now, both of them have also entered the Core Formation Stage and have formed their inner cores.
They are considered disciples of our Hundred Peaks Sect, yet neither has joined any Peak.
Moreover, later, they even mentioned that they indeed wanted to have more children, but for some reason, it never happened.
In our Peak, several officials and Elders who were not asleep had mentioned that bearing an Immortal Body child involves great expenditure of their own essence, hence they cannot have children again in the short term.”
While speaking, Li Ke looked at Cao Zhen with a peculiar expression, “Of course, speaking of Alchemy, there is no one in our Hundred Peaks Sect who can compare to you.
Perhaps you could figure out what the reason might be?”
“Forget it,” Cao Zhen shook his head and said, “Just like Nie Jie said, if we keep forcing others to have children because their children are Immortal Bodies, treating them as nothing more than tools for childbirth, what would make our Hundred Peaks Sect any different from the Demon Sect?”
Li Ke nodded slightly and did not continue on this topic.
Soon, Cao Zhen finished writing the Red Sun Wheel True Solution, wrote three Divine Skills, and gave them to Li Ke, who then left.
Cao Zhen also left soon after, heading towards Seven Star Peak.
Since his arrival in this world, aside from his disciples and Elder Copper Plate, among all the people who truly cared about him, Chao Zi Zai stood out as his sworn brother.
However, due to many incidents and the onset of the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, he seldom met Chao Zi Zai anymore.
Now having some free time, he wished to go see Chao Zi Zai.
It had been over fifty years since he visited Seven Star Peak.
Over these fifty years, Four Treasures Peak had changed drastically, yet Seven Star Peak remained as it had always been, appearing desolate.
However, what was different now was that there were noticeably more disciples on Seven Star Peak than before.
Cao Zhen was still midway up the mountain when he saw several disciples of Seven Star Peak practicing their cultivation.
He had not met any of these disciples before; moreover, there was Chao Zi Zai, who was supervising their practice.
“Old Cao.”
Chao Zi Zai spotted the arriving Cao Zhen immediately.
A joyful smile appeared on his face, and he instinctively called out, then seemed to remember something and corrected himself, “Greetings, Sect Leader.”
The surrounding disciples, hearing this, were briefly stunned, then quickly reacted, bowing their heads toward Cao Zhen, saying, “Greetings, Sect Leader.”
Cao Zhen waved his hand at the disciples, looking helplessly at Chao Zi Zai, “Old Chao, we haven’t seen each other for fifty years.
How have you become so formal?
Aren’t we sworn brothers?
Why do you still need to call me Sect Leader when you see me?”
However, Chao Zi Zai laughed and said, “You are the Sect Leader of the Hundred Peaks Sect, and I am a disciple of the Hundred Peaks Sect.
You have just returned to our Hundred Peaks Sect, so naturally, I should address you as Sect Leader, as a sign of respect for our Sect.
Of course, now that we are just sworn brothers, unless you order otherwise as the Sect Leader, you are simply Old Cao to me.”
Cao Zhen also laughed, “Then, Old Chao, shall we walk?”
“Let’s go.” Chao Zi Zai looked back at the group of disciples and said, “You all continue to practice diligently here.
I am going to accompany your Sect Leader to check on our Seven Star Peak.”
The Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth was unique because many Peak Masters had fallen asleep, and thus the Peaks were managed by disciples.
These disciples, after recruiting their own disciples, felt they were too young to be Masters and acted as proxies for their own Masters.
Of course, some recruited directly.
At Seven Star Peak where Chao Zi Zai was stationed, as Deng Qixing was no longer there, Chao Zi Zai had also taken on the role of Master, and these were all his disciples.
The two walked up the mountain along the hillside, Cao Zhen looking around as he asked, “Old Chao, it seems you have recruited quite a number of disciples at Seven Star Peak over these fifty years.”
“It’s mostly thanks to you,” Chao Zi Zai grinned.
“Everyone knows that you and I are sworn brothers, so they also hold me in higher regard.
When those disciples choose their Sect, they also consider me.
Do you know?
Just twenty years ago, I even recruited an Immortal Body disciple.
Having such a talented Immortal Body join our Seven Star Peak was something I never even dared to dream of before.”
