750: Chapter 225_2 750: Chapter 225_2 “Shen Liting,” Ling Xi said, pausing briefly before continuing, “Besides her, there’s another disciple, who has the Seven Yang Fierce Flames Holy Body.”
As her words fell, everyone became unsettled.
“Another one?”
“Immortal Ling Xi has received a total of two Immortal Bodies!”
“Including the previously mentioned Maitreya Xianti, that makes three Immortal Bodies.
Heaven blesses our Hundred Peaks Sect!”
The Seven Yang Fierce Flames Holy Body, although a low-grade Immortal Body, is still an Immortal Body.
Besides, the final achievements of low-grade Immortal Bodies aren’t necessarily worse than those of high-grade Immortal Bodies, or even High Level Immortal Bodies.
It’s just that top-tier Immortal Bodies cultivate faster and are more suitable for cultivation.
However, the path of cultivation isn’t determined solely by one’s natural talent.
Upon hearing of the Seven Yang Fierce Flames Holy Body, many Peak Masters from the Fire System Mountain Peaks already turned their eyes toward Ling Xi.
In the Hundred Peaks Sect, there was no shortage of peaks that followed the fire system, among which Vermilion Bird Peak and Azure Pheasant Peak were most representative, both belonging to the Top Ten Peaks of the Hundred Peaks.
“Immortal Ling Xi, may I ask what that disciple is called?” a disciple in charge of Azure Pheasant Peak asked with curiosity, looking toward Ling Xi.
Qu Qingqing was naturally considered an outstanding disciple in Azure Pheasant Peak, but she was not the strongest, and the position of Peak Master had been passed to her senior sister, Lu Wanyu.
At the same time, Li Ke was also looking over.
Facing the gazes of both, Ling Xi opened her mouth and gently uttered several words: “Shen Lìfēi.”
The moment these words were spoken, Li Ke’s face immediately revealed a hint of joy.
Around them, many reacted upon hearing the name, immediately thinking of the disciple with the Seven Yin Mysterious Body mentioned before.
“Shen Lifei and Shen Liting, are they two sisters?”
“It should be, as their names are so similar.”
Hearing the crowd’s speculation, Ling Xi immediately shook her head to clarify, “They are not two sisters, but a brother and sister.
Shen Lìfēi is ‘Lì’ as in ‘standing upright’ and ‘Fēi’ as in ‘soaring.’
“This…”
“So that’s how it is, we misunderstood.”
The surrounding crowd finally realized their earlier mistake.
Li Ke’s expression instantly turned sour; however, next to him, Lu Wanyu’s face showed a hint of pleasure.
The Seven Yang Fierce Flames Holy Body would certainly need to go to a Fire System Peak for cultivation.
And in the Hundred Peaks Sect, the strongest Fire System Peaks were their Azure Pheasant Peak and Vermilion Bird Peak.
However, Vermilion Bird Peak currently ranked higher, and Li Ke of Vermilion Bird Peak was not only a Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection existence, but also one of the ten great Immortal Generals of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.
By then, it would be difficult for their Azure Pheasant Peak to compete with Vermilion Bird Peak.
Yet, this disciple was a male disciple, which meant there was no need to worry about competing with Vermilion Bird Peak.
Vermilion Bird Peak only took in female disciples.
Although their Azure Pheasant Peak was also mainly composed of female disciples, they did have male disciples as well.
Without competition from Vermilion Bird Peak, it was highly likely that their Azure Pheasant Peak could take in this female disciple.
Many people around were puzzled by another question.
“Two Immortal Bodies within a single family?
That seems somewhat unusual.
Does that family have any other children?”
Ling Xi shook her head and said, “They don’t have any other children, but the woman of the household is currently pregnant.”
“Pregnant…” a deacon in the crowd suddenly spoke up, “With two Immortal Bodies emerging from one family, and the woman being pregnant, if word spreads, I’m afraid those from the Demon Sect might harm them.”
The rule of the Hundred Peaks Sect is that after reaching the Earth Immortal Realm, one must leave their peak to become an elder.
But many, as they age, also leave their peaks or, for various reasons, depart from their peaks to become deacons.
As the deacon’s words fell, many others also began to realize this.
“You’re right.
If it were peaceful times, there would be no concern, but now it’s the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, and the world is in complete disarray.
If those from the Demon Sect learn of this, they will surely wonder whether another child born to them might also be an Immortal Body.
They could very well abduct both!”
“Indeed!
Those from the Demon Sect might very well do such things!”
“We cannot overlook this matter.”
“Sect Leader, should we send an expert to bring them into the Hundred Peaks Sect?
This issue has arisen because of our sect; we mustn’t ignore their welfare.”
Hearing everyone’s concerns, Ling Xi quickly said: “Everyone, I’ve already brought both the husband and wife into the Hundred Peaks Sect.
“A disciple reminded me, so after asking for their agreement, I brought them into the Flying Boat.
“Moreover, the man is a teacher, and the woman is well-versed in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
It’s perfect for them to teach at the Academy.”
“Immortal Ling Xi, you’ve handled this very well,” Nie Jie nodded towards Cao Zhen and said, “Sect Leader, our Hundred Peaks Sect’s rule is that we don’t take in mortals, but this is a special case.
I believe that taking these two into our sect poses no problem, and besides, they can teach the other children at the Academy.”
Cao Zhen nodded lightly and said, “Since they’re already here, let’s keep them.
We’ll discuss other matters later.”
Turning to Ling Xi, he asked, “Are there any other special disciples?”
“No, Master,” Ling Xi shook her head and stepped back to the side.
