The news of Chu Yunfan's return and beating up the ancient geniuses spread throughout the Flying Celestial Sect overnight. The Flying Celestial Sect, which was already filled with undercurrents, was now filled with even more excitement.
The storm that had subsided due to the weakness of the current generation of disciples was once again stirred up by the storm.
The grudges between the new and old disciples surfaced once again. This was especially so when they learned that Chu Yunfan had practically crushed Wu Wenbin. This made many disciples seethe with excitement.
Given Wu Wenbin's strength, even the current top disciple, Yang Dengxian, was no match for him.
After years of training in the Heaven's Favorites Battlefield, it was said that Yang Dengxian was just about to break through to the pinnacle of a Lesser Celestial. He was still a distance away from the Middle Celestial and was currently in seclusion.
Therefore, Yang Dengxian could only protect himself and had no way of interfering with these ancient geniuses.
In the eyes of the crowd, even if Yang Dengxian had broken through to the Middle Celestial, he would only be considered to be below average amongst the ancient geniuses.
As for the top disciple, to them, it was practically non-existent. Most of these ancient geniuses had been the top disciple when they were active.
Naturally, they wouldn't care about the top disciple.
But Chu Yunfan was different. He had easily defeated Wu Wenbin, who was already in the Middle Celestial stage.
All of a sudden, everyone was speculating about Chu Yunfan's strength.
"Greater Celestial. I think Senior Chu has definitely entered the Greater Celestial stage. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to defeat Wu Wenbin so easily!"
"No, some Elders have already confirmed that Senior Chu has not entered the Greater Celestial stage. He doesn't have the special energy waves of a Greater Celestial. He should still be in the Middle Celestial stage!"
"But he's only in the Middle Celestial stage. How can he be so scary?"
"I've heard that there are different levels among the Heaven's Prideful Ones. There are ordinary Heaven's Prideful Ones, there are top-notch Heaven's Prideful Ones, there are even Young Sovereign Ones who have the potential to become Emperors. It's said that our Senior Brother Huangfu Longhao, who has just returned, is a Young Sovereign!
"From the looks of it, Senior Brother Chu's strength is at least at the top of the Heaven's Chosen level. Twenty years ago, Senior Brother Chu dominated the world. Even Li Qianyuan, who was number one on the Heaven's Chosen Roll, couldn't compete with him. Even among the Middle Arcana, Senior Brother Chu should be the strongest!"
Everyone discussed fervently. However, they soon came to a conclusion. They were all leaning towards the fact that Chu Yunfan should still be a Mid Demi-Immortal. It was just that his strength was probably second to none amongst the Mid Demi-Immortals.
However, no one dared to consider Chu Yunfan as a Young Sovereign. After all, Huangfu Longhao was the only Young Sovereign in the history of the Flying Celestial Sect.
As for the rest, they were at most top-notch sky-prides.
However, even if he was only a top-notch Heaven's Favorite, it was still an unreachable existence to them. Just being a top-notch Heaven's Favorite was enough to suppress an entire era. This was in line with the cultivation level that Chu Yunfan had displayed decades ago.
While Yang Dengxian was cultivating in seclusion, unable to uphold justice for the current generation of disciples, these disciples gathered at Chu Yunfan's side at an astonishing speed.
Apart from the disciples who had already been subdued by the ancient prodigies as followers, almost all of the true disciples went to the Cloud Shocking Peak to pay their respects to Chu Yunfan.
At the same time, in the main hall of the Cloud Shocking Peak.
Chu Yunfan sat on the main seat in the hall. Below him was Chu Hongcai, who had rushed back to the Flying Celestial Sect as soon as he received news of Chu Yunfan's return.
Perched on Chu Yunfan's shoulder was a divine bird that was completely golden in color. It looked like it had been cast from gold, and it was extremely majestic.
Chu Hongcai recognized it with a single glance. Of course he recognized this golden bird. If word of this got out, it would definitely cause everyone's eyeballs to explode.
This was actually a Golden-winged Great Peng! Legend had it that it could fight against dragons, and it was one of the Ten Primordial Vicious Beasts.
This Golden-winged Great Peng had protected him more than once, so he knew that it was one of Chu Yunfan's followers.
However, it was currently perched on Chu Yunfan's shoulder in the form of a majestic bird. Its aura was well-concealed, though. Apart from Chu Yunfan, probably no one else knew that this Golden-winged Great Peng had already become a Greater Celestial. In terms of strength, even a Greater Celestial expert would be helpless against it.
Only a supreme youth with a cultivation even higher than the Golden-winged Great Peng could defeat it.
This was especially true for a Golden-winged Great Peng, who could cover tens of thousands of kilometers with a single flap of its wings. There was practically no one who could catch it if it wanted to escape.
And this Golden-winged Roc was naturally the Black-scaled One-horned Eagle that Chu Yunfan had subdued back then. After such a long time, it had completely eliminated all its other bloodlines and reverted to a Golden-winged Roc. It was extremely difficult to purify it again and again.
If not for the Great Heavenly Demon Technique that Chu Yunfan had imparted to it, this would have been impossible.
However, with Chu Yunfan's help, even the impossible would become possible.
Originally, the Golden-winged Great Peng couldn't leave the battlefield. At the very last moment, Chu Yunfan had helped him sever all the karmic chains in his body, and only then did he finally leave.
However, this method could only be used by a few individuals. Chu Yunfan couldn't bring everyone out of the battlefield on a large scale.
He didn't have that much time to sever them one by one, and the karmic chains would only appear when the battlefield was about to close.
Therefore, the time left for Chu Yunfan was limited. Chu Yunfan could bring three to five people at most, and that would already be very impressive. The only one Chu Yunfan really needed to bring away was the Golden-winged Great Peng.
The others weren't qualified to be taken away by him. His other followers were also geniuses from the outside world, so there was no need for him to take them away.
However, at this time, Chu Yunfan still hadn't contacted the Blazing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow and the others. He didn't want to expose his identity yet.
As for the Blazing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow and the others, they all had their own followers in the outside world. If he rashly contacted them, it would very likely attract a lot of attention.
After all, those ancient powers, the Heavenly Fate Sect, the Blood-clothed Tower, and the other powers were all searching for Jian Wuchen.
Therefore, Chu Yunfan temporarily abandoned the identity of Jian Wuchen and only took the Golden-winged Great Peng. He didn't contact anyone else for now.
Of course, Chu Yunfan had already sent them a message before leaving, telling them to wait for his news and develop freely while he wasn't around.
With the protection of the various powers behind them, even the furious Heavenly Fate Sect wouldn't be able to do anything to them.
