1238: 307_5 1238: 307_5 “Indeed, that’s the best we could ask for.” Array Sound had no other choice but to temporarily invite Yan Yourong.
Now, with five days left until the Five Sounds Sect’s Heavenly Tribulation, the ten people who came to assist had finally all arrived.
Array Sound took this opportunity to introduce everyone.
Immortal Bi Yue and Cloud Reaching Sect Hierarch, among others, already knew each other, so no introductions were needed.
He mainly introduced them to Cao Zhen and others.
Cao Zhen was also observing the others who came to assist.
In fact, it was only him and his disciples who accounted for four of the ten spots.
After deducting Immortal Bi Yue and Cloud Reaching Sect Hierarch, there were only four people he did not know.
These four were two men and two women, among whom one couple seemed particularly close, clearly a pair of Dao Companions.
Array Sound first introduced, “These two are from Mandarin Duck Island, Daoist Baijie and Tongxin Daoist.
Among them, Daoist Baijie is at the Golden Core Stage Limit, and Tongxin Daoist is close to the Golden Core Stage Limit.
Additionally, Daoist Baijie is currently the Island Master of Mandarin Duck Island.”
Cao Zhen glanced at them; the duo was indeed handsome and beautiful.
However, in the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, both being at the Golden Core Period Limit or close to it, were certainly top experts.
Yet, there was no arrogance or domineering aura about them, no conceit at all.
Instead, they exuded a calm and peaceful aura that seemed detached from worldly strife.
It turned out this Mandarin Duck Island had a rather peculiar name, and though it was just an island and not a Great Teaching, it was strange that it housed such formidable experts.
Immortal Bi Yue seemed to know what Cao Zhen was wondering, and she discreetly transmitted her voice to him, “Mandarin Duck Island is quite a unique existence.
Mandarin Duck Island was founded by a pair of Dao Companions.
Though not long-established, both founders are top-notch experts, having surpassed the Flying Immortal Stage and reached the True Immortal Realm!
Thus, although Mandarin Duck Island is not a Great Teaching, its strength is indeed formidable.
Moreover, there’s something special about it—its founders encourage their disciples to become Dao Companions.
Furthermore, many Cultivation Techniques and Spells can only be cultivated by Dao Companions, so most of Mandarin Duck Island’s disciples are also Dao Companions.”
“Is that so.” Just as Cao Zhen finished receiving Bi Yue’s voice transmission, Array Sound’s voice rose again.
He looked at one of the four people, a man clad in white with a stern face, and introduced, “This one is from the Returning Sword Sect, Taoist Zhu Jian, at the Golden Core Period Limit.”
Immortal Bi Yue continued to transmit to Cao Zhen without a break, “Returning Sword Sect is a sword-wielding Great Teaching, and in the whole Eastern Province, if it comes to Swordsmanship, Returning Sword Sect is considered the best, with even a saying that ‘all World Swordsmanship returns to the Returning Sword Sect.'”
“Oh?
This Zhu Jian is at the Golden Core Period Limit, and yet not their Sect Hierarch.
Doesn’t this imply that, like your Dragon Chant Sect, there are two at the Golden Core Period Limit?”
“No, as far as I know, the Returning Sword Sect only has one person at the Golden Core Period Limit, which is Zhu Jian right here.
Normally, during the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, he ought to be the Sect Hierarch of Returning Sword Sect.
However, Zhu Jian has a penchant for killing and is solely focused on the Sword Dao, not caring about mundane affairs, and he explicitly stated he won’t be Sect Hierarch.
In the end, the Returning Sword Sect did not appoint him as Sect Hierarch.
How the Five Sounds Sect managed to invite him, I do not know.”
After introducing Zhu Jian, Array Sound then turned to the last person, a woman in black with a voluptuous figure and a beautiful appearance, and introduced, “This one is from the Yin Yang Sect, Jiu Yin Immortal.”
Immortal Bi Yue once again transmitted secretly to Cao Zhen, “Yin Yang Sect…
that’s an even more ancient Great Teaching than our Dragon Chant Sect.”
Since knowing Bi Yue, Cao Zhen had learned about many Great Teachings.
Even though she confidently and proudly mentioned the other Great Teachings’ strength, when it came to Yin Yang Sect, Immortal Bi Yue lacked that inherent pride.
It was also the first time Cao Zhen heard from Bi Yue about a Great Teaching more ancient than Dragon Chant Sect.
Bi Yue paused briefly, then continued to explain, “Our Dragon Chant Sect now has two at the Golden Core Stage Limit, but the Yin Yang Sect has one more disciple at the Golden Core Stage Limit than our Dragon Chant Sect.”
“So strong?” Cao Zhen whispered back, “They are called Yin Yang Sect; does that mean all their teaching’s members cultivate the Way of Yin and Yang?”
“How could that be?” Upon hearing this, Immortal Bi Yue showed a look of surprise.
Cao Zhen was a Great Ability reincarnated; how could he ask such a question?
Or perhaps, the era Cao Zhen came from was so long ago it was entirely different?
In that era, were the powers of Yin and Yang not so rare and precious?
With these doubts, Immortal Bi Yue still explained, “The powers of Yin and Yang are not something everyone can cultivate.
If Yin Yang Sect only recruited disciples capable of cultivating these powers, I wonder how many disciples they could possibly have.
Among the three at the Golden Core Period Limit in Yin Yang Sect, not even one cultivates the powers of Yin and Yang.”
