CHAPTER 131: CHAPTER 127: SOUTH PEAK’S NEW ELITE! TRUE INHERITOR XIAO PING!

"What talk of death and dying, don’t say such things, it’s unlucky."

Moo Yuemei gave Chen Zhixing a slight smile, then had Xiao Ping return to his seat.

Afterward, Moo Yuemei gave some instructions about the details of tomorrow’s All Peak Assembly and then changed the topic to discuss this time’s recruitment of South Peak disciples.

"Peak Leader, among our newly recruited South Peak disciples, there are indeed a few talented seedlings."

"One of them named Xuu Fan is quite deserving of cultivation."

Several elders spoke up one after another.

Moo Yuemei nodded, letting them cultivate as they saw fit.

Within the hall, Chen Zhixing, with his brow lowered submissively, had a sharp glint in his eye flash briefly.

That Xuu Fan had indeed arrived at the Celestial Wave Sacred Lands.

"Coming here is good."

Chen Zhixing’s eyes lowered, he spoke silently with an expressionless face.

As a True Disciple, he held a position only below the Peak Leader and had the authority to organize activities among South Peak disciples.

He would have the opportunity to play Xuu Fan to death!

Once the meeting dispersed.

Li Ran took Chen Zhixing to where he was staying.

A moment later.

Li Ran brought Chen Zhixing to a mansion with a courtyard in front.

The sun set in the west.

The golden afterglow dyed the entire sky with a golden ribbon.

"Junior Brother Xiao, from now on this is where you’ll be living. I live right next door, feel free to come to me if you need anything."

Li Ran gave Chen Zhixing a slight smile.

"Senior Sister is really kind to me, I don’t even know how to repay her." Chen Zhixing scratched his head and laughed sheepishly.

"We’re all people of the same peak, why be so polite?"

Li Ran laughed, "Junior Brother Xiao, you’re good in many ways, but you’re too honest and simple. You need to change this mentality; otherwise, you’ll suffer losses."

She paused.

Li Ran continued to laugh, "If you truly want to repay Senior Sister, then work hard in cultivation, greatly improve your strength, and in the future, help me fiercely beat the disciples of North Peak, avenge our South Peak!"

Chen Zhixing couldn’t help but curiously ask, "Our South Peak and North Peak, after all, both belong to Celestial Wave Sacred Lands. Why do we not get along?"

Upon hearing this.

Li Ran shook her head, "The feud between South Peak and North Peak started countless years ago, it’s not something we disciples can easily change."

Speaking of this, Li Ran sighed slightly, "For South Peak and North Peak to truly unite and be like family, it would require a future individual to appear with extremely high talent in both physical body and Divine Thought, someone who cultivated both Divine Thought Technique and Flesh Body Technique, using themselves as a bridge, completely linking South Peak and North Peak."

"But this, how easy is that?"

Saying so, Li Ran reached out, patted Chen Zhixing’s shoulder, and smiled with heroic grace:

"Junior Brother Xiao, this isn’t something we should be thinking about now. Your talent is higher than mine, and your future achievements will surely be greater than mine! Right now, Senior Sister is watching over you, but if you exceed me in strength in the future, it will be you watching over me!"

Chen Zhixing grinned and patted his chest, "Rest assured, if that day ever comes, I will definitely look after Senior Sister!"

"It was Senior Sister who personally brought me out from the Miscellaneous Affairs Department!"

Li Ran couldn’t help but cover her mouth with a smile.

...

...

The next morning.

South Peak, mountain gate plaza.

Hundreds of South Peak disciples were notified early and gathered at the mountain gate plaza.

"What’s going on today? Gathering everyone together so early, did something big happen?"

"You all don’t know? Xiao Ping is about to be promoted to True Disciple!"

"Hiss—! Xiao Ping has only been promoted to Tao Seed Disciple for a few days? Is he already being promoted to True Disciple?"

"This is too fake, isn’t it? Becoming a True Disciple requires approval from the Peak Leader and the Five Great Elders. Did Xiao Ping not only take the backdoor of Saintess but also the backdoor of the Peak Leader and them?"

"Oh man! You really don’t care about your life, daring to criticize the Peak Leader?"

"Alright, everyone say less. I heard Xiao Ping’s ability to become a True Disciple is because his talent is extremely high, possibly even surpassing Saintess Li Ran!"

"Tsk tsk, Senior Brother Wang Dong and his fellow Tao Seed disciples have been eyeing the position of True Disciple for a long time, fighting until they’re bloody, and suddenly the position of True Disciple is directly snatched up by a servant disciple, now there’s a show to watch!"

"Hahaha, feeling sorry for Senior Brother Wang Dong and them, working so hard thinking they’d ascend to True Disciple, only to have Xiao Ping suddenly appear, wouldn’t their mindset crumble?"

At the mountain gate plaza, disciples whispered among themselves.

At the forefront of the disciples.

Several youths wearing white long shirts with "Tao Seed" embroidered in gold at the chest area, their faces were as gloomy as water, extremely unpleasant.

"I just want to see, what skills does Xiao Ping have, jumping straight from a mere servant disciple to True Disciple!" a youth with disheveled black hair spoke coldly.

The other Tao Seed disciples, though silent, clearly held the same intention given their expressions.

In the rear of the crowd.

A handsome youth with sword-like eyebrows had his eyes narrowed, filled with a pondering look.

"Xiao Ping..."

Xuu Fan slightly furrowed his brow.

For some reason, he had an ominous feeling about this person.

He entered the Celestial Wave Sacred Lands, and so did Xiao Ping.

Furthermore, it seemed like Xiao Ping emerged out of nowhere, suddenly rising, leaping directly from a mere servant disciple, skipping the ordinary disciple and Tao Seed disciple status, to becoming a True Disciple of South Peak!

"Coincidence?"

Xuu Fan shook his head, holding onto an innate vigilance, countless future images flashed in his eyes.

Moments later, the visions in Xuu Fan’s eyes gradually dissipated.

In all the branches of the future he had just seen, that True Disciple named Xiao Ping held no malice towards him.

"Forget it, it should only be a coincidence."

"It’s just a pity, if I had more time, the position of True Disciple should have been mine."

Xuu Fan thought silently to himself.

And just as he was contemplating.

"They’re here, they’re here!"

A commotion arose from the crowd.

Xuu Fan looked up.

He saw eight figures walking together on the stone steps leading to the peak.

At the forefront was the South Peak Leader, Moo Yuemei, wearing a Taoist robe, holding a duster, her brows like distant mountains and eyes like autumn water, with her full head of black hair all coiled up, revealing her fair and delicate swan neck!

Though a woman, she led the group gracefully, with exceptional elegance and beauty.

Behind her were three disciples dressed in red robes adorned with black floating clouds on the hems and cuffs, draped in large cloaks with the words ’True Inheritor’ embroidered in black thread on the back!

The person on the left had bright eyes and white teeth, with less elegance compared to Moo Yuemei but possessing a maidens’ unique delicate forehead and lively grace.

The person on the right had a steady demeanor, a high nose, and broad mouth, exuding a natural aura.

These two were naturally the original True Disciples, Saintess Li Ran and Guann Tianyu!

Everyone’s eyes gathered on the person walking in the middle.

With a broad body and simple features, he appeared unremarkable.

However, the red robe and large cloak only True Disciples could wear added a touch of authority to him.

At the back of the crowd.

"Xiao Ping has actually leaped to become a True Disciple?"

Old Huang grinned foolishly, his face filled with immense shock and delight.

Originally, he thought if Xiao Ping could become a True Disciple Attendant, it would be an incredible achievement.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ping directly transformed into a tremendously influential True Disciple!

The other servant disciples who came to watch also sighed with emotion.

A little more than half a month ago, this Xiao Ping was on equal footing with them, merely a disciple at the lowest level of the Celestial Wave Sacred Lands.

In just ten days, Xiao Ping had ascended to become an unattainable figure, the new noble of the Celestial Wave!

Truly, times change and fortunes are fickle!

"From now on, when seeing Xiao Ping, you shall respectfully call him True Disciple Xiao or Lord Xiao." Many servant disciples sighed and spoke, then looked at Chen Zhixing with intense eyes.

As a True Disciple, the status is extremely prestigious, in addition to following the Peak Leader in learning the Divine Thought Core Technique, naturally, they enjoy numerous privileges.

For instance, True Disciples have a certain quota of attendants and servants to serve them.

If they could become a servant of a True Disciple, the treatment would undoubtedly be much better than working at the Miscellaneous Affairs Department!

Chen Zhixing’s expression was calm, as he walked step by step down the mountain, seemingly indifferent to the blinding gazes.

"Junior Brother Xiao, no need to be nervous, just stay calm and composed. Today is your promotion ceremony; even if someone bears resentment towards you, they wouldn’t dare to make trouble now."

Li Ran softly reminded.

Guann Tianyu also smiled slightly towards Chen Zhixing and said, "Junior Brother Xiao, the three of us True Disciples stand united. Anyone who dares to make trouble for you is making trouble for me, Guann Tianyu! Don’t worry!"

"Alright." Chen Zhixing nodded, his face calm and composed.

In front of Moo Yuemei and others, he could present himself as obedient and harmless.

But if he appeared timid at this promotion ceremony, it would bring disgrace to Moo Yuemei and the others along with him.

A dozen or so breaths later.

The group reached the high platform that had been set up earlier and took their seats.

The entire promotion ceremony was quite simple.

Elder Fulong, who presided over the main hall, said a few ceremonial words, and then, before everyone, announced Xiao Ping as the newly appointed True Disciple, handing over a Token representing the True Disciple’s identity to Chen Zhixing, thus completing everything.

Chen Zhixing had originally been anticipating whether any disciple bore resentment and might make trouble.

He could also use this opportunity to showcase his strength, firmly establishing his status as a True Disciple.

Unfortunately.

Until the end of the entire ceremony, no one came forward to cause trouble.

"All bow!"

With a long decree from Elder Fulong.

Hundreds of disciples on the mountain gate square knelt in unison, their voices rising together:

"We, greet True Disciple Xiao!"

In an instant.

The sound of their greeting echoed like a tidal wave across the entire mountain gate square.

The voices merged into one, shaking the heavens and the earth, soaring straight to the skies!

"Congratulations, True Disciple Xiao."

Elder Fulong handed the True Inheritance Token to Chen Zhixing, smiling politely.

Moo Yuemei also smiled and said, "Ping’er, from today on, you are my Direct Disciple. Remember to come tomorrow to follow me in learning the Core Technique."

"Yes!"

Chen Zhixing cupped his hands.

Then, he turned to look at the mass of half-kneeling South Peak Disciples.

Since entering the Celestial Wave Sacred Lands.

In just over half a month, he had transformed from the Longevity Heir of the Ziwei Chen Family, the future Master of the Ziwei Star, to the Celestial Wave True Inheritor.

This shift in identity left him somewhat dazed.
