Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 764 - 406: Zhuo Peak Accepts a Disciple

"Alright then, since you insist, Zhuo Peak will recruit disciples tomorrow, and only tomorrow."

Li Ruoyu let out a slight sigh.

Several elders, hearing this, finally left in satisfaction.

"Senior Li, what are those old folks really up to? Why must they have disciples from other main peaks join Zhuo Peak? What’s the reason behind it?"

Gu Sheng’s face was full of puzzlent.

Li Ruoyu’s gaze deepened, as if seeing through the Supre Mysterious Sect’s thousand-year history.

Then, he spoke slowly, his voice carrying a hint of weightiness.

"Gu Sheng, there’s sothing you don’t understand. Since ancient tis, the Supre Mysterious Sect has possessed nine secret techniques. These techniques are the foundation of our sect and the source of our power."

Li Ruoyu paused for a mont before continuing, "Zhuo Peak was once the guardian ground of these nine secret techniques, but hundreds of years ago, a great upheaval caused the techniques to be lost, and since then, they have vanished."

Gu Sheng listened intently.

For him, a newly inducted disciple, he had never heard of this part of history.

"Then why are the elders from the other main peaks suddenly so interested in Zhuo Peak now?"

Gu Sheng questioned, still perplexed.

Li Ruoyu smiled faintly, "That is the crucial point."

With that, Li Ruoyu turned his gaze to the Zhuo Bow beside Gu Sheng and said, "The reappearance of the Zhuo Bow, a supre treasure of the Supre Mysterious Sect, has led everyone to speculate that it might be connected to the lost secret techniques. They hope that by sending disciples to Zhuo Peak, they can find clues to the techniques, and perhaps even reclaim their power."

"So... that’s what’s going on!"

Gu Sheng suddenly understood. Behind it all lay such profound sches.

"Senior Li, what should we do? Are we just going to let them pry into our secrets like this?"

Gu Sheng suddenly felt a sense of worry.

After all, the disappearance of the secret techniques surely had its reasons.

If they fell into the hands of soone with ill intent, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"No need to worry. The secrets of Zhuo Peak will not be easily uncovered by outsiders. Tomorrow, I will personally oversee the disciple recruitnt. Only those with pure hearts and true potential will be allowed to join."

Li Ruoyu spoke with an air of confidence.

"Alright, I’ll leave it all to you, Senior."

Gu Sheng nodded in agreent.

anwhile, news of Zhuo Peak’s recruitnt spread rapidly across the main peaks.

The next day, the gates of Zhuo Peak were wide open.

Nurous disciples of the Supre Mysterious Sect gathered at the base of Zhuo Peak.

The gazes of these cultivators were filled with longing, hoping to pass the selection and beco part of Zhuo Peak.

Li Ruoyu and Gu Sheng stood atop the peak, looking down at the crowd below.

"This... so many people?"

Gu Sheng was utterly astonished.

At that mont, a familiar figure suddenly appeared within Gu Sheng’s line of sight.

"Ji Ziyue? Why is she here too?"

Gu Sheng’s expression turned exasperated.

At this mont, Li Ruoyu also noticed Ji Ziyue.

"Gu Sheng, go and open the mountain gate."

Li Ruoyu instructed Gu Sheng.

"Senior Li, if so many people rush into Zhuo Peak at once, won’t it be total chaos?"

Gu Sheng said, looking exasperated.

"Rest assured, they won’t all get in. Just as the Supre Mysterious Sect has the Entry Stone, Zhuo Peak has its own."

With that, Li Ruoyu waved his hand.

A streak of iridescent light instantly shot toward the entrance of Zhuo Peak.

"Swish!"

In an instant, a transparent, ripple-like barrier appeared before the gathered disciples.

"Go on."

At Li Ruoyu’s cue, Gu Sheng imdiately flew toward the entrance of Zhuo Peak.

"Gu Sheng! Gu Sheng!"

Ji Ziyue, upon seeing Gu Sheng, called out to him excitedly.

"Why are you here too?"

Gu Sheng approached Ji Ziyue, furrowing his brow slightly.

"What? Not welcoming ?"

Ji Ziyue gave Gu Sheng a sidelong glance, pretending to be upset as she spoke.

"Not that I’m not welcoming, just didn’t expect you to co to Zhuo Peak."

Gu Sheng looked at Ji Ziyue, a faintly helpless smile appearing on his face.

Hearing his response, Ji Ziyue imdiately dropped her feigned anger and instead flashed a smug smile.

Turning to face the other waiting disciples, she loudly proclaid, "Listen up, everyone! I’m Gu Sheng’s senior sister, and the very first disciple of this generation for Zhuo Peak!"

The other disciples looked at each other, clearly doubting her words.

"Is this woman just spouting nonsense?"

"I think so. Claiming to be the first Zhuo Peak disciple of this generation – who would believe that?"

"I certainly don’t. Haha..."

Ji Ziyue’s sharp ears picked up these whispers.

She turned to look at Gu Sheng, her gaze carrying an air of authority.

"Gu Sheng, tell everyone – am I or am I not your senior sister?"

"Uh..."

Gu Sheng was reluctant.

He knew Ji Ziyue’s personality; once she adopted her imperious attitude, it was difficult to change her mind.

But seeing the skeptical looks from the other disciples, he realized he had to back her up.

"Well? Still dawdling? Hurry up and address !"

Ji Ziyue crossed her arms, once again ordering him.

"Alright, Ji Ziyue is indeed the first disciple officially recognized by Senior Li."

Reluctantly, Gu Sheng admitted it and, in front of everyone, addressed her, "Senior Sister."

Hearing Gu Sheng call her that, Ji Ziyue bead with satisfaction, tilting her head proudly.

"Good. No need to be so formal, Little Junior Brother. Hehe."

Ji Ziyue giggled, lightening the atmosphere instantly.

"See? I wasn’t lying. From now on, I’ll be staying at Zhuo Peak. You’d all better get to know well!"

Standing before the crowd, Ji Ziyue spoke as if giving a lecture.

The other disciples, seeing Gu Sheng confirm her claim, albeit with lingering doubts, had no choice but to accept it as truth.

So began showing her respect, while others couldn’t help but feel envious.
