CHAPTER 1708: CHAPTER 385:

"Nowadays, I fear the Demonic Sects won’t take any action. After all, within the Hundred Peaks Sect, there’s no shortage of experts at the peak of the Indestructible Period, especially Cao Zhen, who’s so terrifying.

But once the Indestructible Period ends and the Immortal Path Domain experts awaken, it will be different."

"We don’t need to take action, otherwise, if the Hundred Peaks Sect gets wind of it, they might become desperate and try to perish together with us.

Just wait, naturally, there will be some Demonic Sect that can’t bear it and will unite with other major Demonic Sects."

"Indeed, before the Heavenly Dao completely opens its power, there will definitely be a Demonic Sect that can’t bear it and strikes against the Hundred Peaks Sect."

Currently, throughout the Eastern Province, not only the various prestigious Great Teachings, but even some of the Demonic Sects are heavily cursing the Weeping Blood Demon Sect.

Although they are Demonic Sects, they are also human cultivators, yet demonic beasts are not human!

Cao Zhen and the others have already returned to the Hundred Peaks Sect.

The recovery speed of a physical body at the Indestructible Period is truly astonishing; having suffered such severe injuries, after returning to the Hundred Peaks Sect, it only took half a month for the wounds to completely heal.

Now, their Hundred Peaks Sect’s two greatest enemies, the Soul Breaking Demonic Sect, have been destroyed!

As for the other enemy, the burial mound of the Rare Treasures Commerce Association’s Indestructible Period expert, during the Longevity Period, Cao Zhen led people to level it.

They don’t have any experts at the Indestructible Period, and now the entire Rare Treasures Commerce Association has started to contract. Others not giving them trouble is already good, do they dare to trouble the Hundred Peaks Sect?

"After being busy for so long, I can finally take a break for now."

Cao Zhen lay between two large trees on Four Treasures Peak, tied some strings to make a hammock, and lay on it, gazing at his peak, his whole body relaxed.

The past period was truly exhausting, not only physically but also mentally.

Currently, there are only ten disciples on Four Treasures Peak. Although it’s more than before, the former Hundred Peaks Sect was already a Great Teaching, and now within the Hundred Peaks Sect, the number of disciples on all the peaks has increased a lot.

Four Treasures Peak is still the peak with the fewest disciples in the Hundred Peaks Sect.

This aligns with Four Treasures Peak’s ranking, as during the last Hundred Peaks Grand Competition, Four Treasures Peak did not participate, hence it is still only ranked one hundred.

"Hmm, the rules of the Hundred Peaks Grand Competition should be appropriately revised. Previously, our Hundred Peaks Sect was just a sect, so the intervals for the Hundred Peaks Grand Competition were short, which was normal.

But now it’s the Hundred Peaks Sect, and everyone’s cultivation base is growing higher, with so many more experts at the Earth Immortal Realm.

If it’s still the same as before, the frequency of the Hundred Peaks Grand Competition would be too frequent. Holding it once every ten thousand years should be about right.

These changes should be finalized once Bai Fengzi awakens, after all, she is the true sect master, I am just a temporary sect leader."

Cao Zhen basked in the sunlight, gently swaying on the hammock, and murmured softly to himself. Modifying the time of the Hundred Peaks Grand Competition was suggested to him by Nie Jie, and he also felt the time needed to be adjusted.

"By the time of the next Hundred Peaks Grand Competition, we should not abstain from participation. After all, Four Treasures Peak has never been glorious, and the ancestors of Four Treasures Peak certainly wish to see its prestige, as does Elder Copper Plate. If I fail to improve Four Treasures Peak’s ranking next time, he might directly take up residence on Four Treasures Peak, nagging me every day, saying things like how I let down my master and the ancestors of Four Treasures Peak.

Speaking of Elder Copper Plate, he’s also getting old and needs to breakthrough soon."

Thinking about Elder Copper Plate, Cao Zhen took out a pill from his embrace and left Four Treasures Peak, entering the Ministry of Works Immortal Palace.

Though he had helped the Hundred Peaks Sect refine many treasures, he rarely went to the Ministry of Works Immortal Palace.

Within the Ministry of Works Immortal Palace, one disciple after another was utterly surprised to see the sect leader appear.

"Sect Leader?"

"Greetings, Sect Leader!"

"Sect Leader, what brings you to our Ministry of Works Immortal Palace?"

Cao Zhen glanced at everyone, flashed a smile, and softly said: "I came to the Ministry of Works Immortal Palace just to find someone, no important business, you all continue with your affairs, just pretend I haven’t come."

Saying this, he headed towards Elder Copper Plate’s cave mansion.

Behind him, several young disciples watched Cao Zhen’s disappearing figure with a look of confusion on their faces.

"The sect leader came to find someone? Who could he be looking for?"

"Yeah? Do you think, maybe the sect leader discovered a particularly talented disciple in our Ministry of Works Immortal Palace and wants to take them as a disciple?"

"Probably, otherwise, why would the sect leader suddenly come to our Ministry of Works Immortal Palace?"

Beside them, a disciple at the Golden Core Stage chuckled and gently knocked a few heads of the junior disciples: "What are you thinking? The sect leader came to our Ministry of Works Immortal Palace to find someone, clearly, he is going to find Elder Copper Plate."

"Elder Copper Plate?" They became even more puzzled.

"Elder Copper Plate doesn’t seem particularly special."

"Yeah, Elder Copper Plate isn’t especially proficient in the six arts either, and his talent in immortal cultivation is average. Why would the sect leader be looking for Elder Copper Plate?"

"Speaking of it, I also find it odd. Elder Copper Plate seems quite ordinary among our elders in the Ministry of Works Immortal Palace, but I feel like everyone in our Ministry of Works Immortal Palace respects him a lot."

"It’s not just people from our Ministry of Works Immortal Palace. A few days ago, our Ministry of Works Immortal Palace had some misunderstandings with people from the Law Enforcement Immortal Palace.

Everyone knows how domineering the people from the Law Enforcement Immortal Palace are. Although our Hundred Peaks Sect has rules, the people from the Law Enforcement Immortal Palace don’t dare to act recklessly, but since they are enforcers, no one wants to easily provoke them.

At that time, our Ministry of Works Immortal Palace’s prodigy, Lu Chuanwen, made a slight mistake, which wasn’t even serious, yet was caught by the Law Enforcement Immortal Palace, saying he would be detained for a while.

I was with Lu Chuanwen at the time and saw him being taken away without any means to stop it.

It happened that Elder Copper Plate passed by, and upon learning about it, he directly asked the Law Enforcement Immortal Palace to release him. Everyone knows that the elders of the Law Enforcement Immortal Palace are disciples of Sect Leader Yan Yourong; they never show any face.

But once Elder Copper Plate asked for the person, they straightforwardly released them, treating Elder Copper Plate with unknown amounts of respect.

Furthermore, it seemed as though they were afraid Elder Copper Plate would get angry."

Hearing this, several young disciples around immediately found it unbelievable and said: "What? Even the people from the Law Enforcement Immortal Palace show this much respect to Elder Copper Plate? You must be kidding."

"I can’t believe what you’re saying!"
