Chapter 71: The First Peak of Qifeng

  "Heh heh, this junior brother is sincere. However, the sect leader isn't someone you can easily meet with. Besides, as long as you remain loyal to the sect in the future, there's no need to come and express your devotion like this."

  Upon hearing Cang Ye's explanation, several people burst out laughing. It turned out that he had come to express his loyalty. Did he think that the sect leader was someone that any disciple could meet casually?

  "Senior brother is right, since the sect leader isn't here, I'll leave too." The people in front of him didn't even have a single Spirit Master among them, and Cang Ye didn't bother to explain anything to them. Since the sect leader and all the seniors weren't here, it was better to just leave. To be honest, last time he had only met his parents briefly before parting ways again. This time, no matter what, he wanted to spend more time with his parents!

  Turned around and prepared to leave.

  "What? Isn't this Junior Brother Cang? Why has he come to find the Sect Master?" A familiar voice came over. Cang Ye turned his head and saw a slender figure walking towards him.

  "So it's Wind Master! Why are you still here, haven't you returned to the peak?"

  Taking a closer look, it turned out to be Feng Yan from the Zhen Xing sect. Although he didn't interact with Feng Yan much, in Cang Ye's heart, he had already recognized him as his friend long ago.

  "Just now, one of our ancestors from this lineage called me in to give some guidance. It just ended, what a persistent thing, I've been tired for four months, and can't even let me out... In front of Cang Ye, Feng Yan always puts down that fake mask, revealing his true self."

  But just after he finished saying this, I heard him let out an "aiyo".

  He took a nervous glance over his shoulder and didn't dare continue speaking.

  Seeing Feng Yan's appearance, Cang Ye smiled slightly.

  That's purely what he deserved.

  The ancestor of the Wind Clan, wouldn't that mean his lifespan would exceed the limit of 500 years? Then, the one inside is very likely to be a Supreme Being. Even if he's not a Supreme Being, he must be a King. The scope of a King's divine consciousness is absolutely beyond ordinary people's imagination. This disciple has the potential to become a Saint King. Moreover, his current talent is extremely extraordinary. Looking at him now, I'm afraid he will also become a Heavenly Spirit Master.

  Such a disciple, how can the ancestors not pay attention?

  It's like scolding the ancestor in front of him for being too old. Getting some punishment is also deserved.

  "It's better not to say anything. And don't treat me like this, okay? Hmmph... It seemed like no one was paying attention over here, so he carefully muttered a couple of sentences, but after muttering, his gaze fell back on Cang Ye."

  "Cang Shidi, when the secret realm opened, I saw Old Ancestor Dingluan personally bring you here. This time's harvest in the secret realm should be quite bountiful! With your exceptional talent, Shidi, you should have already advanced a level by now!" Those cunning eyes kept darting around Cang Ye's body, as if they could see his cultivation level just by looking at him.

  "Thanks for your kind words, brother. Indeed, I have made progress."

  "I knew it! With Shidi's heaven-defying talent, advancing is only natural. Hmm, are the three flowers gathered together or has he already succeeded in gathering them at the top?"

  Hearing that Cang Ye had actually advanced, Feng Yan was also somewhat surprised. He had originally just been speaking casually. He hadn't expected this kid to be so abnormal and actually advance even further.

  This guy is only fifteen years old, and at this age I was still wandering around with my second virtual flower, but he has already gathered three flowers and even reached the top! It's really infuriating to compare oneself to others.

  "Hehe, no need to say more. Master will understand when he sees it himself." After that, Cang Ye slowly conjured up the appearance of reincarnation in the palm of his hand.

  Rubbed his eyes hard. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't close his mouth.

  "What's with the fusion gun?!" The discordant voice was extremely strange, but he couldn't care less.

  "My god! What the hell is going on with you, could it be that the soul of an ancient sage has possessed my junior brother's body?!" After saying this, he shook Cang Ye vigorously, as if trying to confirm whether this was really him.

  Cang Ye slightly pursed his lips, the soul of the ancient great sage was not there, but the soul from another realm was. However, this was something he absolutely couldn't say out loud. When he had shown the reincarnation earlier, Cang Ye had already realized the state that Feng Yan might appear in. After all, a 15-year-old Tian Ling Master was definitely not to be trifled with.

  In the secret realm, the disciples of that gathering point had already clearly understood their cultivation. Even most of their moves were well understood. Moreover, they felt that among these talented disciples of Qingxia Sect, just like what Yue Xingyan said in the beginning, Cang Ye didn't plan to continue hiding anymore. Anyway, it would be known sooner or later.

  Moreover, with a turn of his hand, he can break through boundaries. Even an ordinary mid-tier cultivator can fully support him for a while.

  "Feng Shixiong, am I not Cang Ye? The seniors of our sect wouldn't make a mistake about this, would they?"

  Helplessly brushed away the pair of hands that held him and swayed back and forth, Cang Ye slowly returned.

  "It's not that I don't trust you, Young Master Cang, it's just that this matter is a bit too strange. A 15-year-old Tianling master? This is the first time I've ever heard of such a thing." After finishing speaking, Feng Yan still looked at Cang Ye with an expression of oddity.

  She slightly shrugged her shoulders and explained a little bit.

  "Actually, half a year ago when I returned to the mountain, I had already reached the state of three flowers gathering at the top, it's just that it didn't show up yet."

  "Wow, so you've been deceiving me all along! Speak up, how are you going to compensate for the hurt and wounded heart of your senior brother!" After saying that, he still looked at Cang Ye with a fierce expression. But thinking back to You Yue's sword that suppressed Zi Yan, he calculated it and found that he didn't have the confidence to take it on, so his gaze slightly softened.

  "Compensation? Just in time, I'll treat my senior brother to a good meal!" Thinking about it, the engagement banquet with Ling'er is just around the corner. It's not bad to bring Feng Yan along too. After all, he doesn't have many good friends. His senior brother can't make it. Only a few people like Xuan Mu Peak and Lei Wu Hui are on good terms with him, but four months of cultivation has made them rush to comprehend and consolidate their foundation. After all, talents and comprehension like Cang Ye's are rare, perhaps only one in ancient times!

  "Invite me to dinner? Are you that good? When?" Muttered a couple of sentences, seemingly not believing that Cang Ye had such a kind heart. However, in the end, he still asked about the time, lest he himself be busy at that time.

  "It's like this, before I entered the secret realm, I had already engaged with Ling'er, and this time back is to hold an engagement banquet. I don't know if Big Brother will deign to attend?"

  "What! Engaged! How can it be so fast, genius, Young Master Chong you are absolutely a once-in-a-lifetime prodigy! You've only just returned and already completely won over the little princess. I admire you, brother!"

  Feng Yan's appearance made him feel a sudden headache on this gloomy night. Indeed, this person was still as unreliable as ever.

  "Feng Shixiong, would you like to return with me to the Yan Tian Empire? The engagement will be finalized in just a few days."

  Cang Ye didn't even bother asking him if he was going or not. It seemed that Feng Yan was definitely going to attend, so she directly asked him if he wanted to return to the empire together.

  "Alright, alright! Wait for me to go back to the Peak Gate and tell those old... seniors a word, you want to see the Sect Master, right? After seeing the Sect Master, we'll meet at the main gate of the sect." After finishing speaking, he didn't even care if Cang Ye had agreed or not, and directly ran towards Zhen Xing Peak.

  Although I have made progress in Tianling, my current cultivation is still a distance away from the middle rank of flying with the Imperial Artifact.

  Shaking his head, they were all over twenty years old, but how could they be more reckless than himself at fifteen? However, thinking about it made him let out a long sigh. If he hadn't thought of it, he would have forgotten that he used to be Xu Zhen.

  The grand hall was now empty. Since today was the day when all disciples returned from the secret realm, there were no guards in the entire Qingxia Grand Hall. No one dared to be reckless within the number one sect under heaven.

  "Brother Feng is really something, didn't he see that I was about to leave just now? If only I had asked him to pass on the message for me. Now I've lost him and don't know what to do, sigh!"

  He let out a long sigh. Cang Ye turned around and left, planning to wait for Feng Yan at the main gate first.

  Just as he stepped out of the grand hall's threshold, a voice in his mind made him change his attention.

  Turned around and walked back into the grand hall, quietly waiting.

  Not long after, several figures emerged one after another from behind the grand hall.

  Looking at these figures, Cang Ye was slightly stunned. Wasn't it the Sect Master's uncle who wanted to see me? Why did so many people come?

  "Greetings, seniors!" After bowing, Cang Ye finally stood up straight.

  The people in front of him, he had never seen any of them before. But judging from their positions and ages at this time, they should be the legendary Gatekeeper Elders of the sect! In other words, these few should be the Peak Masters of the Seven Great Main Peaks!

  They counted again and again, but found that including Yue Xingyan, there were only seven people. As the leader of the sect, Yue Xingyan didn't belong to any peak. Logically speaking, it should be eight people, but now it's become seven? I wonder which peak's Shu uncle hasn't arrived yet.

  After a closer look, Cang Ye knew. The one who didn't come should be the leader of the You Yue clan, Zi Ling Wang. Because all seven people in front of him were male, and only the You Yue clan was composed entirely of women. The only absentee must have been Zhao Zi Ling.

  Saw Cang Ye's two eyes drawing again and again. Yue Xing Yan immediately knew what he was thinking about. He opened his mouth to say

  "Tonight, these are your seven peaks' master uncles. Zhao Master Uncle from the Youyue Sect has been in closed cultivation and hasn't come over yet. I'll introduce you to them after she comes out of her retreat."

  "Hello, Sixth Master." Since Yue Xing had already said that he introduced them, Cang Ye could only bow and greet again.

  "Indeed, a once-in-a-lifetime genius! The 15-year-old Tianling Master has finally accomplished what his ancestors couldn't." The six people didn't say anything to Cangye, but instead quietly sized him up, as if they wanted to study him thoroughly. They stared at him until he felt uneasy before speaking up.

  Cang Ye didn't respond, at this time anything he said would be bad. He glanced at Yue Xingyan, hoping he could say something.
