Chapter 1518: Chapter 354_3
After Cao Zhen and the group of Wanrendis left, he put on a mask and, with a thought, quickly transformed into another appearance. Then, he unleashed his immortal power and flew towards the distance.
In fact, when he initially left the Hundred Peaks Sect to experience the world in the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, he had already traveled to many places within the Dynasty, yet he never completed the journey through the entire Dynasty.
Moreover, though these years have passed, it might not seem long for cultivators, but for mortals, fifty, almost sixty years, is indeed a very long time.
This time, Cao Zhen did not enter every city and village within the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty as he had before, posing as a mortal.
He flew with astonishing speed in the direction ahead, passing over one city after another, soaring over one great mountain after another.
While flying, an idea struck him and he connected with Xiang Ziyu through China Cloud.
“Zi Yu, nowadays, aren’t you staying in the Hundred Peaks Sect?”
Xiang Ziyu was busy studying his treasure, contemplating how to modify it, when he suddenly heard his master’s voice, and was taken aback, saying absentmindedly, “Right, I am researching my treasure and won’t go out. What’s up?”
“Good, then obediently stay on the Four Treasures Peak. It’s best not to see anyone and to have your senior brothers and sisters say that you’ve left the Hundred Peaks Sect.”
Xiang Ziyu was completely bewildered: “Master, what are you up to?”
“It’s nothing. My identity is too sensitive, and going out might attract the suicidal attacks from You Sha Society members targeting your master. It’s not that I’m afraid of them; it’s mainly that I don’t have time to handle their troubles.
So, I need to borrow your identity.”
“Borrow my identity? Master, we have so many disciples on Four Treasures Peak. You can use Bei Yan, Little Zhu Peng, or Wanrendi’s identity. Why choose mine? Master, I’m the protagonist. There’s no harm in me going out, but if you pose as me, it’s very dangerous.”
Cao Zhen immediately got angry: “Use your junior disciples’ identity? Do you think it’s suitable for me to impersonate Little Zhu Peng?”
Xiang Ziyu thought about Little Zhu Peng’s mannerisms and usual habits and shook his head: “Master, you can’t pull it off.”
“And Little Bei Yan, do you think your master at this height can impersonate Little Bei Yan?”
“No way.” Xiang Ziyu shook his head without thinking. Although Little Bei Yan had grown taller, he was still short, “But Master, Wanrendi can work!”
“Your junior Wanrendi is always wandering around. How can I impersonate him? If people find two Wanrendis outside, it will immediately point to a problem. Besides, your junior’s combat strength, if I were to clash with someone, should I fight or flee? Could you really let your master flee at first sight?”
Cao Zhen initially thought it possible to impersonate his disciples, but ultimately found that only impersonating Xiang Ziyu fit the situation.
“Alright, then. It will take me several years to return to the Hundred Peaks Sect. You and your senior siblings must take care of the Sect.” With that, Cao Zhen ended the connection with Xiang Ziyu.
He realized a problem: the sects within the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty also belonged to the Dynasty, so when he sketched, he could naturally include all these sects.
However, he wasn’t clear on what other sects were like, so he needed to go in and see.
Using a strange face, people definitely won’t let him casually enter to observe, so he had to use Xiang Ziyu’s identity.
Soon, Cao Zhen flew to the Sun and Moon Sect.
Nie Jie once said that among the ten immortal sects in the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, the Sun and Moon Sect was relatively less affected by the Eastern Province. Most disciples recruited by the Sun and Moon Sect were able to join successfully.
Previously, he really hadn’t visited the Sun and Moon Sect; at that time, the temporary Sect Leader was Qin Yao. He also didn’t know who currently held authority in the Sun and Moon Sect.
Since the connection between the Eastern Province and Eastern Wasteland, the significant change in the various immortal sects of the Eastern Wasteland was obvious at the mountain gates. Previously, only a few disciples were casually arranged to guard the mountain gates.
But since the Eastern Wasteland connected to the Eastern Province, every immortal sect had to dispatch many high-combat disciples to guard the mountain gates. In case of an attack, they could immediately activate the Mountain Protection Array.
Cao Zhen flew rapidly, and even before reaching the Sun and Moon Sect’s gate, he sensed two Earth Immortal Realm presences from the gate.
Almost simultaneously, the other party noticed an Earth Immortal Realm approaching.
“Be cautious, all disciples remain alert. If the situation appears wrong, immediately activate the Mountain Protection Array!”
From the mountain gate, two Earth Immortal Realms looked warily at the incoming figure.
Cao Zhen also glanced over, seeing unfamiliar faces—these two Earth Immortal Realms did not recognize him.
At the mountain gate of the Sun and Moon Sect, among the two Earth Immortal Realms, one elderly man with slightly graying hair respectfully raised his hand in a greeting, “Dao Companion, what business brings you to our Sun and Moon Sect?”
“What business? No business, no business, nothing of great importance.” Cao Zhen waved his hand repeatedly, “I’m just here for a casual look.”
“Casual look?” The Earth Immortal Realm on the opposite side was instantly baffled. It was an immortal sect, after all; was there any logic in casual viewing? What kind of talk was that? Besides, we don’t know who you are. You say you’re here to look, but can we really let you look?
Just as the elder wanted to speak, a discipled at the Golden Core Stage beside him saw the visitor’s appearance, and quickly reminded, “Elder Sun, this is Xiang Ziyu from the Hundred Peaks Sect.”
