829: Chapter 239 829: Chapter 239 Cao Zhen had already known through observing the Eclipse Demon and others via China Cloud Observatory that the place he had entered was like a maze.
However, only after he truly entered did he realize just how many paths there were.
Having seen the markers left by the Eclipse Demon and Qian Jiao, and having known what markers the three princes and others had left behind, he had now been wandering this palace-like maze for seven days.
Li Ke had completely recovered, reaching a peak state even stronger than her previous peak states.
Yet, they were still endlessly wandering here, and during this time, they had not encountered another person.
Perhaps it was because there were too many people who had entered these ruins this time, allowing the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty to regain a brief peace.
During this period, the Hundred Peaks Sect had been very quiet, and even the major cities near the Hundred Peaks Sect had no disturbance.
Inside the Hundred Peaks Sect, a group of disciples were not relaxing but were diligently cultivating.
Meanwhile, the Peak Masters of the various peaks, seeing their own disciples cultivating, headed to the Conference Hall.
Today, the Vice Sect Master urgently gathered everyone for a matter.
In the Conference Hall, Nie Jie, looking at everyone who had arrived, did not hesitate and directly spoke, “The reason for gathering everyone here is that it is time for our Hundred Peaks Sect to select disciples.”
As his words fell, the people around quickly responded.
The Hundred Peaks Sect goes out every ten years to the world of mortals to recruit disciples once, and these disciples, after entering the Hundred Peaks Sect, would enter various academies.
However, the internal selection of disciples by the individual peaks of the Hundred Peaks Sect naturally could not happen only once every ten years.
If so, who knows how many disciples would be delayed in the academies.
Generally, the academies themselves would conduct an evaluation and allow the Taoist boys whom they deemed suitable to leave the academies for selection by the people from the various peaks.
Of course, this evaluation was generally divided into two types.
The first type is naturally where the Taoist boys truly possess exceptional talents and, they believe, have nothing more to teach them.
The other situation is when the Taoist boys have grown older.
The children who enter the academies are of various ages.
For instance, those Taoist boys who enter the academy at thirteen, if after five or six years they are nearly twenty and still haven’t stood out from the academy, even though it’s inappropriate to continue keeping them in the academy, they will still be put forward to see if there are peaks interested in choosing them.
Of course, generally, such disciples usually have no peaks choosing them.
After Nie Jie finished speaking to everyone, he spoke in a low voice, “However, this year’s situation is special, the Sect Leader has gone out, and moreover, we also have many newly recruited disciples.
My suggestion is, perhaps we should wait for the Sect Leader to return before deciding.”
As his voice fell, an elderly man in the crowd immediately spoke loudly, “Vice Sect Master Nie, although the Sect Leader is absent, you are here.
And while it’s not a small matter for each peak to recruit disciples, there really isn’t a need to wait for the Sect Leader to decide on this matter.”
While he spoke, he also glanced towards several other elderly Peak Masters.
The few Peak Masters, upon making eye contact, immediately realized.
“Right, there’s no need to wait for the Sect Leader’s return.”
“Every year our Hundred Peaks Sect recruits disciples for each peak, it’s the usual practice, it wouldn’t be good to break this tradition.”
“Exactly, ten years ago our Hundred Peaks Sect also recruited a batch of disciples, and that time, we didn’t talk about delaying.”
“Right, the rules of our Hundred Peaks Sect cannot be changed, we must recruit disciples as soon as possible.
No, don’t look at me like that, I just don’t want to break the rules of our Hundred Peaks Sect.”
One by one, the Peak Masters of the Hundred Peaks Sect quickly reacted, each starting to clamor loudly.
Recruiting disciples now, and waiting for the Sect Leader to return to recruit disciples, are definitely not the same!
This year, the Hundred Peaks Sect had recruited quite a few disciples with astonishing talents.
Most of the disciples would be very happy just to be chosen by a peak, but for those genius disciples, it would be the disciples who choose in return.
Whom would those disciples choose?
If they were those disciples, they felt, they would certainly choose Four Treasures Peak.
The Peak Master of Four Treasures Peak is none other than the current Sect Leader of the Hundred Peaks Sect.
Of course, this is not the point.
The point is that Peak Master Cao is a reincarnated being of great ability.
Moreover, the cultivation abilities of a few of Peak Master Cao’s disciples are also visible to everyone, all being amongst the top during the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth.
With such a method of training disciples, if there’s a choice, then one must indeed become a disciple of Peak Master Cao.
Last year, when the fame of Four Treasures Peak was not evident and no one knew Peak Master Cao was a reincarnated being of great ability, Peak Master Cao was able to recruit Yi Sheng, who was recognized at that time as the most talented.
Now, really waiting for Peak Master Cao to return, those talented disciples would all likely be recruited into the Hundred Peaks Sect by Peak Master Cao!
They must ensnare those people before Peak Master Cao returns.
This year, there is Liao Youdi, who has a cultivation talent not inferior to Yi Sheng—a High Level Immortal Body!
Of course, if it’s just top cultivation talent, that doesn’t necessarily mean one will become a genius; if the temperament is poor, one might also end up mediocre.
But everyone has inquired, although Liao Youdi is just a child, she is exceptionally mature and resilient, even ferociously so.
Similarly, with a High Level Immortal Body, everyone even believes that Liao Youdi’s temperament is stronger than Yi Sheng’s last year.
