Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On this day, the entire sect received a message from Shen Tianyi, and all of them rushed to Zixia Peak.
This was the center of the entire sect, and also the highest place. Standing on the peak, one could see the boundless horizon, and all the mountains seem to shrink.
Due to its precipitous nature, it towered into the clouds. It was a special geographical location that naturally gathered spiritual energy. When the sun rose, and the rays of light reached 100,000 feet, a sky full of purple clouds formed a marvelous scene. Therefore, it was named Purple Cloud Peak.
“Why did the Sect Leader suddenly call us over?”
“It seems to be an urgent matter. I heard that all the disciples are going to be present, even if they are in closed-door cultivation. At that time, even the Peak Masters will appear.”
“Could it be that something big has happened?”
The disciples discussed animatedly.
Even though there were many people, the hall was very solemn. No one dared to make a sound.
Sitting at the head seat was Shen Tianyi, followed by the Peak Masters of the various peaks. Now that everyone was present, Shen Tianyi scanned his surroundings and found that only Gu Xi was missing.
He sensed that the spiritual energy of Sanqing Peak was gathering. He thought that Gu Xi was in closed-door cultivation, but he did not know that it was the effect of refining a Flawless pill.
He could not let so many people wait. Shen Tianyi cleared his throat and said, “Today, I want to announce a big event. The Dao Conference in the capital is about to begin. I will select some disciples to participate in the Dao Conference Competition.”
It could be said that a stone would cause a thousand ripples. Everyone was extremely excited.
The Dao Conference in the capital was an exchange held by the most powerful force in the capital. It was quite authoritative. Those who could appear here were powerful figures. If there was a chance, outstanding cultivators could even be recruited.
In the beginning, it was just to exchange and discuss with each other. As the scale continued to expand, it eventually evolved into various forms of Dao Conference Competitions. Moreover, more and more sects participated, forming the current grand occasion.
It could be said that sects and forces from all over the world would arrive in the capital. It could be said to be a grand gathering for cultivators. If one was lucky, one might even be able to meet legendary figures, such as the Sword Saints and the Alchemy Saints.
If one was even luckier, one would be able to receive a few pointers from these super experts. It could be said to be a great opportunity.
“I heard that an Alchemy Saint will also participate in the capital’s Dao Conference. I wonder if he will accept disciples.”
“What! An alchemy saint will appear? Then I will have to witness his elegant demeanor.”
“Come on, with your little cultivation, do you think the Sect Leader will send you to participate? The quotas are fixed. We rookies can forget about it.”
The Dao Conference in the capital was a holy land that everyone wanted to go to. Not only did it mean that there was an opportunity, but it was also a place where one could become famous after a battle. After all, the people who came were all sects from all over the world.
However, there was also a threshold. Otherwise, if everyone could go, it would be too disgraceful. Therefore, only some people had the opportunity, and those who were weak would not be chosen.
“I wonder who the Sect Leader will send this time.”
“I guess that they would be the personal disciples of the Peak Masters. Who else has the qualification besides them?”
As expected, what Shen Tianyi announced was not much different from what everyone guessed. They were all outstanding figures in the sect.
“Sigh, I knew it. Ordinary disciples like us don’t stand a chance. We should cultivate well in the future and strive to become personal disciples. Maybe we have the chance to participate.”
Everyone was envious, but they were convinced by Shen Tianyi’s announcement. After all, the results were based on strength.
All the experts from all over would gather here for the Dao Conference in the capital. With their meager cultivation base, it would be disgraced if they went. It was a major matter related to the glory of the sect. They absolutely could not allow anyone to fish in troubled waters. Only the strong were respected in this world.
It was at this moment that Gu Xi finally arrived.
“I’m sorry, I was delayed by some matters.”
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked. Who would dare to be late for such an announcement?
While everyone sized Gu Xi up, his expression was calm and natural.
“Who is this? He actually dares to be late.”
“Judging from his attire, he should be a personal disciple too. It’s just that I don’t know which peak he’s from.”
Although everyone had heard of Gu Xi’s name, very few people knew him. After all, he was just an own outer sect disciple, so no one recognized him immediately.
“This time, he’s finished. The Sect Leader hates people who are late the most. Moreover, it’s such a big event. He’s going to get punished.”
When everyone thought that Shen Tianyi would flare up at this moment, who would have thought that he would say in a pleasant tone, “Are you done with his closed-door cultivation?”
Gu Xi nodded, “Thank you for your concern, Master.”
Before the capital’s Dao Conference, Shen Tianyi would usually give the disciples a sermon. To put it bluntly, he would focus on giving them a special training session.
“In the next few days, I will give everyone pointers. If there are any areas that you don’t understand or bottlenecks in your cultivation, feel free to come and look for me.”
When everyone heard this news, they could not help but look delighted. It was a rare opportunity for the Sect Leader to personally give pointers.
However, Gu Xi did not care about this.
“It just so happens that Gu Xi will be attending the Dao Conference in the capital. I believe that with your strength, you will definitely be able to display your skills and fight for the glory of the sect.”
When these words were said, everyone realized that he was the Gu Xi who had recently become famous in the sect.
In terms of popularity, he was the most famous. From the outer sect disciples to the disciples of the various peaks, his name was like thunder. After all, Gu Xi’s experience was magical.
It could be said that he was a carp that leaped through the dragon gate. From then on, everyone knew about him.
“So he is Gu Xi. That anonymous disciple suddenly became the Sect Leader’s personal disciple. The Sect Leader even held a disciple-accepting ceremony for him.”
“I can see that the Sect Leader thinks highly of him. However, I can see that he seems to be rather ordinary. There’s nothing special about him.”
“That’s right. I heard that he’s powerful and killed a powerful demonic beast in one move. However, I’ve never seen him fight before. Is that true?”
