What truly shocked the five peak masters wasn't that Su Zimo had survived the eight distresses.
It was Su Zimo's slash.
As Perfected Jin Dan, Wen Xuan and the other four could sense that the power released from that slash had already surpassed the full strength of a Perfected Qi Refinement Warrior.
What sort of concept was that for a mortal to surpass a Perfected Qi Refinement Warrior with just the burst of his physical body?
It was proof that this man's body was comparable to spirit beasts and was even comparable to early-stage Foundation Establishment spirit demons!
Furthermore, Su Zimo's slash was way too murderous.
There must be a lot of blood on his hands for him to be able to deliver that slash!
How could a mortal be stained with so much blood?
What shocked them even more was that Su Zimo had dared to strike at Xuan Yi with such decisiveness!
Su Zimo was only a mortal.
As for Perfected Jin Dan and the peak master of Array Peak, the fact that he could stand here meant that he was an immortal in the eyes of mortals.
Su Zimo's slash had the intent to kill an immortal!
"Why did you attack me?" Xuan Yi glared at Su Zimo with bright eyes and asked in a deep voice.
In that short period of time, Su Zimo had roughly guessed that Just Now, he had fallen into an illusion and everything he had experienced was nothing more than an illusion.
Su Zimo lowered his head slightly. "Just Now, I mistakenly thought that senior had attacked me and pushed me down the peak. That was the reason why I slashed."
That answer was naturally within the expectations of the five peak masters as well.
However, the more that was the case, the more the five of them felt troubled.
This was an arrogant and unyielding man. It didn't matter if the other party was an immortal or had some sort of backing. If they offended him, he would kill them!
In the eyes of the five of them, Su Zimo was like an unsheathed sword that could slice through metal like mud. Not only could he injure his enemies, he could even injure himself.
It was hard to tell if it was a blessing or a curse for someone like him to join a sect.
However, Su Zimo's temperament was hard to come by. His willpower was firm, and he had even endured the Eight Distresses Tribulation. Such a genius was hard to come by. If he were to miss out on the Misty Peak, he would be somewhat reluctant.
What's more, Su Zimo had already passed the sect's three tests.
The five Peak Masters looked at each other, unable to make up their minds.
Logically speaking, Spirit Peak's Wen Xuan would have accepted such a person as his disciple at the first opportunity. However, he did not say anything at this moment.
After pondering for a moment, Wen Xuan took out a Spirit Testing Stone from his storage bag and handed it to Su Zimo. "Test your spirit root again."
Su Zimo held the Spirit Testing Stone.
The Spirit Testing Stone glowed with a bright red light, emitting a trace of heat.
The five Peak Masters nodded their heads after seeing this.
Fire attribute, heavenly spirit root, that's right.
Before the five of them could finish their thoughts, the Spirit Testing Stone seemed to have caught on fire. In the blink of an eye, it turned into ashes and fell through the gaps between Su Zimo's fingers.
Everyone was stunned on the spot.
What was going on?
The fat child was agitated as he pointed at Su Zimo. "Peak master, look! I was right, wasn't I?"
Even as Perfected Jin Dan, the five Peak Masters had never seen anyone burn a Spirit Testing Stone to ashes just for a spirit root test.
Strange.
Right then, an authoritative voice rang out in the minds of the five of them.
"This lad's killing intent is too strong and he's too sharp. Since he has a fire spirit root, we can let him join Weapon Peak and train him in weapon refinement. After that, we can make other plans."
This was a voice transmission from the Patriarch of Misty Peak. Other than the five Peak Masters, no one else noticed it.
Weapon Peak's peak master was the disheveled old man on the peak.
The disheveled old man looked at Su Zimo and chuckled. "Let's go. Follow me back to Weapon Peak. From now on, you'll be a trial disciple of Misty Peak and a member of Weapon Peak.
"Alright."
Su Zimo nodded.
The haughty man, white bloused woman and Little Fatty joined Spirit Peak naturally while the remaining three mortals went to Elixir, Array and Talisman Peak respectively.
Waving his greasy sleeves, the disheveled old man swept up Su Zimo and left the peak.
Before long, Su Zimo was brought to Weapon Peak. The disheveled old man said, "From now on, I'll be your master. There aren't that many rules in Weapon Peak so you can call me old man."
"Xue Yi! Yes, you! Come here!"
The disheveled old man beckoned to a disciple who was passing by.
The disciple called Xue Yi was skinny and weak. Running over, he bowed to the disheveled old man and greeted respectfully, "Master."
"This is Su Zimo who has just joined the sect. He's your junior brother. Bring him to collect a sect badge and some items for trial disciples. Then, bring him to choose a cave abode."
After saying that, the disheveled old man flicked his sleeves and left.
"I'll have to trouble you then, senior brother," Su Zimo cupped his fists.
Xue Yi smiled and waved it off. "It's fine, you're welcome."
Bringing Su Zimo to a majestic pavilion, Xue Yi introduced, "This is the symbol of Weapon Peak, the Spirit Weapon Chamber. All trial disciples of the five peaks who want spirit weapons have to come here and exchange for them with contribution points. Contribution points are very important to the sect and can be used to exchange for spirit stones, elixirs and things like cultivation techniques and secret manuals. "
"How do I get contribution points?" Su Zimo asked.
"Within the five peaks, there's a mission stele. Every once in a while, missions will be updated and they'll all be rewarded with contribution points. Of course, the more difficult it is, the more contribution points you'll get."
Bringing Su Zimo to the Spirit Weapon Chamber, Xue Yi bowed to the old guard and said, "Senior, this is a new disciple of Weapon Peak. He's here to collect a sect badge."
"Oh, name?"
The old gatekeeper opened his sleepy eyes and asked weakly.
"Su Zimo."
The old guard took out a long jade badge from his storage bag. One side of it was engraved with mysterious patterns while the other side was smooth and blank.
Shooting out a stream of spirit qi from his fingertip, the old guard wrote three crooked words on the smooth side – Su Zimo.
Tossing it aside casually, the old guard closed his eyes and went back to sleep.
Receiving the badge, Su Zimo looked at it carefully and found nothing special about it.
Xue Yi smiled. "Junior brother, don't underestimate this sect badge. With it, you'll be able to enter and exit the sect freely. The fog outside won't be able to trap you either."
Nodding his head, Su Zimo kept it carefully.
Slapping his head, Xue Yi seemed to have recalled something as he turned to the old guard and asked with a smile, "Senior, didn't you leave something out?"
Without even opening his eyes, the old guard took out a storage bag and tossed it over.
Receiving it, Xue Yi handed it to Su Zimo and said, "Junior brother, there's a Spirit Peering Art and a Qi Condensation manual inside. Apart from that, there's also 10 inferior-grade spirit stones. Keep them well."
Knowing that Su Zimo had not condensed his qi, Xue Yi opened the storage bag and took out the two books, placing them in Su Zimo's hands.
Summoning his flying sword, Xue Yi got Su Zimo to hop on and brought him to the waist of the mountain. Pointing at the rows of cave abodes, he said, "We don't have many disciples in Weapon Peak and most of the cave abodes are empty. Junior brother, just pick one."
At the thought that he still had to cultivate The Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness, Su Zimo chose a cave abode in a secluded corner and settled down at Misty Peak.
