Chapter 2672 - 546_2
"He deserves to die, that Liu Kui deserves to die as well!"
Liu Kui watched his Ancestral Elder die with his own eyes and fell straight to the ground with a thud. The ground beneath him had unknowingly become completely wet, with a strong smell of urine wafting around.
The Blessed East Sect Leader didn’t even glance at Liu Kui but instead looked toward the constables responsible for maintaining order around him, saying, "He’s not a cultivator, nor a member of our Fu Dong Sect, so I’ll leave him to you to handle."
Saying this, he turned to the crowd, his gaze paused briefly on Cao Zhonghua’s face before flying into the void, looking down at the residents of Yi River City below, he said, "Everyone, Liu Hongyi is dead. He was only an isolated case. You can still trust us.
If any cultivator like this emerges again, no matter who they are, as soon as we discover them, we’ll kill them!"
Saying this, he looked again at the cultivators below, "Thank you for your patience. Please continue."
With that, he raised his hand, lifted Liu Hongyi’s corpse into the air, and then flew into the distance. Although he said that Liu Hongyi had been expelled from Fu Dong Sect, Liu Hongyi still had a master in Fu Dong Sect. He couldn’t ignore Liu Hongyi’s body. He would take the body to the outside of their Fu Dong Sect and let Liu Hongyi’s master come out to handle it.
However they chose to handle Liu Hongyi’s body didn’t matter. Just one thing was certain: Liu Hongyi’s corpse would never be allowed back into Fu Dong Sect, as Liu Hongyi was no longer a member of Fu Dong Sect.
With the departure of the Blessed East Sect Leader, the various sects resumed recruiting disciples.
Cao Zhonghua naturally did not remain among the crowd and instead flew with Venerable Zhu Yan to the area managed by Hundred Peaks Sect.
Although several people with cultivation talent were found in Yi River City, their talent was just ordinary, only enough for immortal cultivation. Hundred Peaks Sect did not continue recruiting them.
Gradually, as more and more people were tested, the line shortened until a man in a blue silk robe, long and slender, exuding an aura of elegance, but carrying a large gourd of wine at his waist, stepped forward.
As usual, Cao Zhonghua infused immortal energy into the Earth Observing Mirror, and instantly, a barely noticeable set of words appeared on the mirror’s surface. These words seemed nothing out of the ordinary, just the common characters used by the Human Clan today, and the glow was not strong.
"There is some cultivation talent, likely on the path of poetry. But this cultivation talent is very limited, and though it might have been fine if he were younger, at his age..." A disciple of Hundred Peaks Sect gently shook his head.
"Perhaps other sects will recruit him as a disciple." Venerable Zhu Yan only glanced at the man, without inviting him to join Hundred Peaks Sect. Although the Clan Leader of the Human Clan is the Sect Hierarch of Hundred Peaks Sect, the number of disciples they can recruit is limited. Besides, Hundred Peaks Sect’s resources are also limited. Even if they recruited this person, he would struggle to keep up.
Instead, joining those sects focused on the path of poetry would be better for his development.
She noticed that no major sect or any sect was recruiting him, she wasn’t quick to urge him to leave, and said, "Although no one is recruiting you right now, don’t worry. You still have cultivation talent, but there’s currently no major sect or sect suitable for you.
However, our Wilderness Border Way doesn’t only have these major sects and sects here; there are other major sects and sects in other cities. Eventually, all of our major sects and sects will visit every city. You can register your information with the constable here, and when other major sects or sects come, they will directly look for those with cultivation talent who weren’t selected.
Perhaps you will be chosen since our Wilderness Border Way has sects dedicated to the path of poetry, and they haven’t come yet. Your chances of being selected by them are quite high."
Mr. Wang, however, gave an open-minded smile, showing no hint of disappointment, swiftly walked aside to register his information, pulled out his gourd, took a swig, and walked into the distance, chanting loudly as if composing another poem.
Cao Zhonghua didn’t think much of it and continued with the testing.
Not long after, when the Earth Observing Mirror shone upon a young girl, an intense brilliance emerged on the mirror, as though all the light in the world concentrated on the Copper Mirror, the brilliant light completely enveloping the area.
Suddenly, all the cultivators and residents in Yi River City turned their gazes towards this spot.
"That light!"
"A High Level Immortal Body!"
"There’s a second High Level Immortal Body appearing in this major city!"
"Everyone, it should be a Five-color Immortal Body! The Immortal of Light Body!"
Cao Zhonghua watched the young girl in front of him and the elder beyond her, a look of excitement in his eyes. In the cultivation world, there aren’t many with ordinary cultivation talent who grow up to attain the Immortality Regainment Realm or even the True Immortal Realm, like his godfather Chao Zi Zai and his father’s friend, Worldly Master-Uncle, all had average cultivation talent. Still, they eventually reached the True Immortal Realm. However, such examples are extremely rare. They all required great opportunities.
