“Little Beiyan, don’t get cocky.
Let me tell you, showing off in front of the protagonist never ends well.”
Xiang Ziyu still habitually referred to Bei Yan as Little Beiyan, and even reached out habitually to pat the top of Little Beiyan’s head before looking at everyone and saying, “Everyone, don’t mind him, continue listening to me.
“I have sparred with that madman wielding an axe before.
Although at the beginning we were evenly matched, later on, I prevailed over him.
Do you know why he stopped fighting with me later?
Because he couldn’t beat me anymore.
That madman wielding an axe was a reincarnated being with great ability.
Even in the Golden Core Stage, he was considered a top-notch expert in the Central Five Continents.
Since he was no match for me, it goes without saying that once I reach the Central Five Continents, I will be one of the top existences there.
With me here, what is there to fear?”
The crowd around nodded slightly, their expressions somewhat eased.
The strength of the Golden Core cultivators in the Hundred Peaks Sect was undeniably formidable, but…
One Peak Master sighed softly and said, “With you in our Hundred Peaks Sect, we naturally feel at ease.
However, we do not know how many Golden Core cultivators there will be in a single Immortal Sect among those in the Central Five Continents.
“What if one Immortal Sect, or perhaps a Great Teaching, has thousands, tens of thousands of Golden Core cultivators?
What then?”
“Yes, we don’t know how many Golden Core cultivators the other side has.
Also, it’s been fifty years since the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth began, and in another fifty years, it will come to an end.
When that happens, those experts will awaken, and we will face even more formidable ones, including beings of the Earth Immortal Realm or even the Immortality Regainment Realm.”
“Let’s first see how we can get through this period.
Moreover, from what I observe, with the speed of this shift, the Eastern Wasteland won’t be able to connect with the Central Five Continents any time soon.
It would likely take several years before we truly border each other.”
The crowd could feel both the Hundred Peaks Sect and the entire world moving, and they could also sense that the speed of movement was extremely slow.
While the crowd discussed, suddenly, in Ling Xi’s mind a voice that was once very familiar but had recently become a bit strange rang out.
“Ling Xi…”
Just two simple words, yet Ling Xi became excited.
She raised her head and called out loudly, “Master!”
She had not heard her master’s voice for a long time, and it had been a long while since her master’s voice had appeared in her mind.
Of course, she had never doubted that there was something wrong with her master.
When her master was at the sixth level of Golden Core, he was already the number one in the Eastern Wasteland, not to mention that her master later broke through to the ninth level of Golden Core.
Though her master did not say why he did not break through to Perfect Completion Golden Core, Zi Yu told her the reason.
It was because, upon reaching the ninth level of Golden Core, her master must have touched the limits of the Golden Core Stage.
During the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, the Heavenly Dao did not permit any force that exceeded the Golden Core Stage, preventing her master from making further breakthroughs.
The reason why her junior fellow disciple Zi Yu could guess this was that he, too, could touch the limits of the Golden Core Stage.
Given that her master had reached the limits of the Golden Core Stage, during the Reversal Mini Epoch Period, he naturally wouldn’t run into any trouble.
Furthermore, she knew that her master had left this time to experience the life of ordinary mortals in the mortal world.
So, it was understandable that the master had not contacted her since then.
As long as the master got in touch with them, it proved that he had not forgotten his identity as a cultivator.
Only when the master ceased contact entirely could it be proven that he had completely forgotten his status as a cultivator.
Now, the master had made contact again, clearly because the fifty-year mark had been reached and he had sensed the movement of the entire Eastern Wasteland world.
Following Ling Xi’s exclamation, those around were taken aback and then looked towards the entrance with excitement.
The Sect Leader had finally returned!
After so many years, they could finally see the Sect Leader again.
However, to everyone’s surprise, they turned around to find no one had appeared at the entrance.
That’s when they remembered that the Sect Leader could contact his disciples directly through a special secret technique—so, the Sect Leader had finally started contacting disciples again?
As everyone turned their heads, their gazes shifted towards Ling Xi.
Cao Zhen communicated with Ling Xi through mental messaging while looking around.
Fifty years, a very long time for mortals, and in the lives of the mortals in this world, fifty years meant they were well past the halfway mark of their lives, drawing close to the end.
But for cultivators, fifty years was not a long time.
Everyone in the hall was a disciple of the Hundred Peaks Sect, all of whom he recognized.
It seemed that everyone had remained unchanged.
As for Little Bei, he had contacted the disciple before and had even connected with Bei Yan, having seen Little Bei grow up.
It was Duo Duo and Zhu Peng, these two new disciples, whom he was seeing for the first time as grown-ups.
When he had contacted his disciples before, he had not seen these two young ones.
Duo Duo was already standing tall and graceful.
Ever since she was little, she had been delicately chiseled, and growing up, she did not become less attractive—in fact, her appearance seemed even more refined than that of Ling Xi.
As for Zhu Peng…
he had grown taller and more imposing, but his face still had that simple and honest look.
Clearly, even though his cultivation base had increased over the years, his spiritual wisdom had not returned to normal.
