Changmei, Gu Zheng, and Sun Yunsheng returned to Wangu Peak.
Gu Zheng triggering the Ten Thousand Swords Choosing Their Master was something that should have made them very happy. Unfortunately, they couldn't feel happy at all. The losses they suffered this time were too great, so great that they couldn't bear it.
More importantly, it was the time to distribute the resources according to the ranking. With such a great loss at this critical moment, it was conceivable that Wangu Peak would not only receive fewer resources, but its ranking would also fall a lot. At that time, it would be moved to a place far away from the main peak.
If Wan Gufeng wanted to return to this place, it would take him many years to develop. The loss this time was definitely a serious blow to Wan Gufeng.
"Gu Zheng, you don't have to worry about Wangu Peak. You should go to the main peak as soon as possible. The cultivation environment there is better and there are more resources, which will be helpful for your development!"
After returning to Wangu Peak, Changmei first announced the news, and then asked Gu Zheng to stay alone. He sighed and said.
Gu Zheng did not leave immediately, which surprised and delighted him. Gu Zheng had only been in Wangu Peak for a few days. It was impossible for Changmei to have feelings for him. At this time, Gu Zheng did not leave. It could only be said that he was a righteous person.
Gu Zheng was righteous, so they could not be unrighteous. They could not delay Gu Zheng's cultivation and future.
"Senior Brother Changmei, I don't plan to go to the main peak. I will always stay in Wangu Peak!"
Gu Zheng shook his head gently. It was not important to him where he would go. The key was that the elder wanted him to be apprenticed to a master. He already had one master, so he did not want to be apprenticed to a second master.
Therefore, he could not go to the main peak. Now that Wangu Peak was in trouble, he had a reason to stay.
"No, you don't understand. The main peak has more favorable conditions than Wangu Peak. You can cultivate and advance faster there. With your talent, there is absolutely no problem for you to become a Daluo Jinxian. When you become a Daluo Jinxian one day, you can also take care of Wangu Peak!"
Changmei tried to persuade Gu Zheng. He was very touched that Gu Zheng was willing to stay, but he knew very well that the development of Myriad Valley Peak was definitely not as good as that of the main peak. If Gu Zheng stayed here, it would be a hindrance to him.
"Senior Brother Long Eyebrows, do you know how old I am this year?" Gu Zheng suddenly smiled and asked Long Eyebrows.
Chang Mei was baffled by this question, but he still said, "Junior Brother Gu, your talent is awe-inspiring. Presumably, you can cultivate to Jin Xian in a hundred years. Are you over a hundred years old this year?"
Previously, Sora Aoi had talked about Emei, but he didn't mention their cultivation time. Now, whether it was Long Eyebrows or the others, they didn't know Gu Zheng's real age. Even Sora Aoi didn't know Gu Zheng's specific age, let alone them. He only knew that Gu Zheng was very young.
Over a hundred years old. To become a Jin Xian at a hundred years old, he was indeed a very good genius. Moreover, considering the cultivation environment in the Mortal World, it was much more difficult to cultivate in the Mortal World than in the Untainted Land. Therefore, Long Eyebrows made a conservative estimate. It was possible that Gu Zheng's age was older, but it didn't matter. Anyway, it was just his guess.
Gu Zheng's smile became more brilliant. He shook his head gently and said, "Senior Brother Long Eyebrows, you are wrong. I am twenty-eight years old this year, twenty-seven years old!"
"What?"
Long Eyebrows suddenly stood up. Gu Zheng was only twenty-eight years old, and it was a nominal age. How could this be possible? Even if he started cultivating in his mother's womb, it was only twenty-eight years old. How could he become a Jin Xian in twenty-eight years?
There was no such person in the Untainted Land, let alone in the Mortal World.
It was no wonder that Long Eyebrows was so shocked. To become a Jin Xian at twenty-eight years old was like becoming a high-ranking official on Earth. It was very unrealistic.
"I am twenty-eight years old this year, and I still have a long lifespan. Since Senior Brother Long Eyebrows also thinks that I can become a Daluo Jinxian, it doesn't matter to me where I cultivate."
"What's more, if I can break through so quickly in an environment like Earth, won't I be able to cultivate faster in the Untainted Land?"
Gu Zheng said continuously. He had the Method of Eating Cultivation, so his cultivation was really fast. It was so fast that even he himself was a little surprised. He did not tell Long Eyebrows that he had only cultivated for three years. If Long Eyebrows knew that Gu Zheng had reached the Jin Xian Realm in three years, he would be so shocked that his jaw would drop.
"But …"
"Senior Brother Long Eyebrows, there is no 'but'. Just let me stay in Myriad Valley Peak. Myriad Valley Peak is in a difficult situation now, and I can't leave at this time!"
Gu Zheng interrupted Long Eyebrows. He would not worship others as his teacher, so he would not go to the main peak. In fact, it was very simple that he did not want to worship others as his teacher. As long as he could become a Daluo Jinxian in Myriad Valley Peak, he would not need to worship others anymore. As a Daluo Jinxian, he was already qualified to rent an Elder.
"Well, Junior Brother Gu, I thank you on behalf of Myriad Valley Peak!"
Long Eyebrows nodded heavily. He understood Gu Zheng's intention and was very moved in his heart.
Although it was he who founded Emei, he did not help Gu Zheng in any way. From the description of Mao Zedong, it could be seen that Gu Zheng took over Emei later, and when he took over, Emei was so desolate that it was about to disappear. Emei's help to Gu Zheng was definitely limited.
On the contrary, Gu Zheng's help to Emei was huge. Not only did he help Emei rise again, but he also left a lot of foundation for Emei. It could be said that Emei was founded by him, but then it was founded by Gu Zheng. As the leader of the resurgence of Emei, his contribution to Emei was not inferior to that of the founder.
Gu Zheng stayed in Myriad Valley Peak. Long Eyebrows quickly announced this news, which could more or less dilute the sadness.
The loss this time was really too great. Many disciples had a good relationship with each other. They usually lived together, cultivated together, and went out together. How could they not have a good relationship? However, many of their companions went out this time and would never come back, which made them very sad.
Tianmingzi had already brought people to pick up the remaining five people. These five people absolutely could not have any more problems.
Long Eyebrows also went to the main peak to handle the matter of taking over the Peak Master. He would be the new Peak Master of Myriad Valley Peak in the future. He originally wanted Gu Zheng to be the Peak Master, but Gu Zheng refused.
"In another month, the Ranking Distribution Conference will be held. This time, we don't want to be in the top 100. It's not bad if we can stay in the top 300!"
Long Eyebrows and the remaining few people, together with Gu Zheng and Mao Zedong, were having a meeting together. The speaker was Jin Xian, who was also from Emei. Today's Myriad Valley Peak had become Emei Peak in name and in reality. All the Jin Xian came from Earth, and they were all Emei disciples on Earth.
The Ranking Distribution Conference was held in Shushan every three thousand years. It was very important. In these three thousand years, one's cultivation resources and cultivation environment would depend on this Ranking Distribution Conference. Not good, it would be like this for the next three thousand years.
Long Eyebrows had participated in it before. At that time, their Myriad Valley Peak was still fine. They relied on them to get into the top 100. In these three thousand years, their development was very good. It allowed them to have more than seven hundred Fairy Immortal disciples and more than ten Jin Xian. Such strength was not small in the outside world.
A sect like the Three Immortals Cave only had six Jin Xian and three to four hundred disciples. The strength of Myriad Valley Peak alone surpassed that of the Three Immortals Cave.
It was no wonder that the Three Immortals Cave was so afraid of Shushan. The difference in strength was too big. They could not even compete with one peak of Shushan, let alone the whole Shushan.
"It's also difficult to be in the top 300!"
Another Jin Xian, Wu Chengfeng, shook his head gently. Wu Chengfeng was also the founder of Emei. There were portraits of all the founders in Emei. However, if Gu Zheng went back and saw these portraits, he would definitely complain about those painters. The portraits were very beautiful, but the real person was not like that.
It was understandable. Portraits must be drawn well. After all, it was just a memorial for the future generations.
"I checked. The last time, the Hundred Elders Peak was ranked 300. Now, the Hundred Elders Peak has ten Jin Xian and more than five hundred disciples. When they got into the top 500, they also had eight Jin Xian and more than four hundred disciples!"
Wu Chengfeng said softly. The number and strength of Jin Xian was the key to how many resources they could get and how many rankings they could get. However, ordinary disciples could also be ignored. The Ranking Distribution Conference was a comprehensive evaluation. With the current strength of Myriad Valley Peak, they would definitely be at a disadvantage.
"I also did some research. Our strength and strength now is almost the same as Baotai Peak three thousand years ago. Baotai Peak was ranked in the top 600!"
Everyone understood what Wu Chengfeng meant. It was possible that Myriad Valley Peak would fall below the top 600 this time.
It was obviously unacceptable for a peak in the top 100 to fall six times.
"Junior Brother Gu, is what you said to me last time true?"
Chang Mei suddenly asked Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng raised his head in surprise and asked doubtfully, "What's the matter?"
"Your age!" Chang Mei said again.
"It's true. I didn't hide it!" Gu Zheng replied affirmatively.
"That's good. In this case, for the future cultivation of the disciples, we don't care about our face anymore. Junior Brother Gu will be our secret weapon!"
Chang Mei seemed to have made a difficult decision and said seriously. The others were confused, but he didn't explain. Gu Zheng wanted to ask, but was stopped by Chang Mei's sound transmission.
If he did this, he would be scolded. He would be the only one to be scolded. For the future development of Myriad Valley Peak, it was no big deal to be scolded.
Half a month later, Tianmingzi brought Gao Shijie and the others back. Gao Shijie was miserable. Both of his arms were gone, and only half of his leg was left. The strength of a late Jin Xian was even less than that of an early Jin Xian.
Chang Mei asked the disciples to take him to recuperate. Shushan had elixirs that could help them grow new limbs, but Myriad Valley Peak didn't. He had to find a way to ask for them from the main peak. In Shushan, except for the Fairy Sword, other things had to be paid a certain price. But no matter what the price was, Chang Mei would find a way to get these elixirs.
Gao Shijie was equivalent to a disabled person. In this way, only seven of the eight Jin Xian in Myriad Valley Peak could participate in the Ranking Allocation Conference. Their strength was reduced a lot.
In the Ranking Allocation Conference, Jin Xian were the absolute main force. Their strength and number represented the final ranking of the peak. Ordinary disciples were also useful, but they were all auxiliary and could only be improved by a limited amount.
But generally speaking, the more Jin Xian there were, the more ordinary disciples there would be, and the more resources there would be. The higher the ranking, the better the cultivation environment. This was a virtuous cycle.
The Ranking Allocation Conference was held in the main peak. There was a large platform on the main peak that could accommodate millions of people. All the disciples from the side peaks would go there and sit on the platform according to the peak's ranking.
Time passed quickly. All the peaks entered in order. The first to enter was the peak that ranked first, Myriad Valley Peak, ranked 97th. It was the 97th person to enter.
Flying was not allowed on the main peak, so all the disciples had to enter in line. At this time, Myriad Valley Peak became very conspicuous. No matter in front or behind, there were many more people than them. They were like a small grass in the middle.
The whole Shushan knew about what happened to Myriad Valley Peak. Some people sympathized with them, while others gloated.
Especially the peaks after Myriad Valley Peak, they had already spread the word that they wanted to get a better ranking this time. As for Myriad Valley Peak, they were no longer their competitors. They began to think about getting a higher ranking.
The current Myriad Valley Peak was no longer qualified to be on the same level as them.
Some disciples of Myriad Valley Peak heard these words. They were angry, but there was nothing they could do. It was true that their strength had dropped too much. However, they had suffered such a big loss for Shushan. It was really hard to accept that their peers were making sarcastic remarks.
It should be known that there were many peaks that were qualified to accept this task. If it fell to the other peaks, they would be the ones to suffer a loss.
The people of Myriad Valley Peak walked up silently and soon arrived at their seats. They originally had close to 800 seats, but now more than half of them were empty. Compared to the other areas that were full, their seats were even more empty.
The positions of the peaks had been prepared a few years ago. No one had expected that Myriad Valley Peak would suddenly suffer such a big loss. However, it was difficult to change it, so it was better to arrange it according to the original allocation.
Changmei sighed and ordered two disciples. The two disciples immediately stepped forward and placed the memorial tablets on the chairs. Although they had not arrived, Changmei had brought their memorial tablets and allowed them to participate in this meeting.
Seeing the memorial tablets, the people from the other peaks stopped talking. When the memorial tablets were placed, the entire Myriad Valley Peak was filled with a solemn and stirring atmosphere. But after all, Myriad Valley Peak was their fellow sect members. At this moment, no one could laugh at them, let alone mock them.
After all the memorial tablets were placed, the surrounding voices finally quieted down. Everyone just looked at them and stopped talking.
The people of the other peaks were still entering the venue. When they saw Myriad Valley Peak, they were slightly stunned, especially when they saw so many memorial tablets. No one said anything. They just passed by their own places and sat down.
It took half a day for the people of the 3,000 peaks to enter the venue. When they were all seated, the Leader, Immortal Ziyun, and the 12 Elders all appeared in the center of the platform.
There were not only 13 Daluo Jinxian in Mount Shu, but also more than 12 Elders. Although the Ranking Distribution Meeting was important, it was not necessary for all the Elders to show up. With the 13 of them in charge, it was guaranteed that nothing would go wrong. The others were either busy or in closed-door cultivation.
Daluo Jinxian also needed to cultivate. They wanted to find a way to become a Sage. However, it was too difficult to become a Sage. It was not only because of cultivation, but also because they had to grasp the Taoist Heart and have the Lucky Chance. Without it, no matter how hard they cultivated, it would be useless.
Therefore, there were very few Sages in Untainted Land, only 10. The rest had grasped some Lucky Chances and found the Taoist Heart, but never made a breakthrough. Such people were called Sage-to-be. There were some Sage-to-be, but not many.
They were the top existences in Untainted Land.
After everyone was seated, Gu Zheng had a direct understanding of the strength of each peak. The first peak was indeed powerful. It had more than 30 Gold Immortals and thousands of disciples. They sat closest to the center. As for the last peak, there was only one Gold Immortal and two disciples. The three of them sat alone at the back.
If it were not for the fact that there must be a Jin Xian in charge of each peak, there would be many peaks without a Jin Xian. Jin Xian did not want to go to these poor peaks, but he had no choice. Sometimes, he was assigned to go, so he had to go.
If he went, he had to find a way to lead this peak to develop. If he could not develop, he would stay at the worst peak forever.
"Junior Brother Gu, don't feel pressured. In a while, I will tell you that it's all my arrangement. I asked you to do this. You have to listen!"
Changmei was now in charge of Wangu Peak and was its Peak Owner. All the disciples of Wangu Peak had to obey his orders. He asked Gu Zheng to say this because he wanted to put all the pressure on himself.
"Senior Brother Changmei, it's okay. I know what to do!"
Gu Zheng smiled. Changmei did not ask him to tell his age. Later, he found him alone and told him the reason.
After knowing this, Gu Zheng was also very surprised. He wanted to refuse, but when he saw Changmei's expectant eyes, he finally agreed.
It was really shameful for him to do this, but Wangu Peak had no time to care about its reputation. It could not keep its ranking, but at least it could not fall too much. In this way, Wangu Peak still had a chance to develop.
Gu Zheng understood Changmei's idea. Since he understood, he did not object to his order and accepted it with a clear conscience.
The Sect Leader, the Sage of Purple Cloud, said some words of encouragement. This time, the Ranking Assembly began soon. The first thing to be done was the Battle Royale among the disciples under the age of 30.
The Multi-Disciple Battle Royale was a battle royale where all disciples under the age of 30 would enter an illusory realm and fight each other. As long as you could stay in the illusory realm and not be eliminated, the final ranking would be based on the number of people remaining.
This ranking would not be the final ranking, but it would increase some points, which would be helpful for the final ranking.
Before the Battle Royale, all the peaks would contact each other and look for an alliance. This alliance could not be their competitors or enemies. Otherwise, it would be difficult to form an alliance. Usually, they would find a group whose ranking was lower than theirs to form an alliance.
Before this, Wangu Peak had already found dozens of peaks to form an alliance with. However, after Wangu Peak's accident, these peaks had all abandoned them. None of them were willing to form an alliance with them. At this time, if they formed an alliance with Wangu Peak, they would have to face their competitors. The strength of Wangu Peak's competitors was not weak, but Wangu Peak's strength had been greatly weakened. Forming an alliance at this time was equivalent to increasing the strength of one's enemies. No one was a fool, so they all abandoned the alliance. Therefore, Wangu Peak had no allies.
