After leaving the Qian Sky Dangerous Land, Cao Zhen quickly reunited with his disciple Ling Xi, Yan Yourong, and others.
At first, he asked Ling Xi and the others to help Xiang Ziyu, but it turned out that Xiang Ziyu was running around everywhere.
Ling Xi and the others managed to find Xiang Ziyu with great difficulty, only for him to say he needed to practice or sothing, also claiming he was the protagonist and could train himself this way, and that following him was very dangerous for Ling Xi and the others.
In short, Xiang Ziyu wouldn’t let Ling Xi and the others follow him, insisting on continuing his adventures.
Ling Xi and the others had no choice but to leave.
Cao Zhen truly found himself at a loss with this disciple of his and could only temporarily return to the Hundred Peaks Sect with Ling Xi and the others.
Since he always kept a clone in the sect, it wasn’t convenient for him to appear directly, so he had Ling Xi and the others pilot the Flying Boat directly into the Hundred Peaks Sect.
Then he had his clone wait nearby and manipulated things a bit. Only then did he manage to deceive everyone.
Upon returning to the Four Treasures Peak, he found a place to take out the Life Ancient Tree and began planting it.
The life force of the Life Ancient Tree was extrely suitable for the growth of Immortal Herbs on the Immortal Fields, and the Immortal Fields of the Hundred Peaks Sect were all located on their Four Treasures Peak, so he naturally transplanted the Life Ancient Tree there.
Before he could finish planting the ancient tree, Nie Jie approached.
"Sect Master, I previously discussed with you about organizing a grand event for our Hundred Peaks Sect, and you said to wait until Ling Xi and the others returned.
Now that Ling Xi and they have returned, should we announce it to the world and hold the grand event?
After all, every great sect in the Eastern Province holds a grand event after surviving a Sect Tribulation.
The Eastern Wilderness Sect beca a great teaching later than us, yet they’re going to hold a grand event.
We’ve passed the Sect Tribulation for quite a while now and haven’t held a grand event yet, which is rather unjustifiable."
Initially, Cao Zhen instructed everyone to call him the Sect Master because he intended for Bai Fengzi to take the position of Sect Hierarch.
However, Bai Fengzi declined, so everyone’s form of address for him transford from Sect Master to Sect Hierarch.
"Alright, then let’s hold the grand event."
Cao Zhen nodded lightly while planting, as he had no other pressing matters and had broken through into the Immortal Path Domain. However, the Life Ancient Tree required ti to recover slowly, which couldn’t be rushed.
This was an opportune ti to hold a grand event.
No, wait.
Cao Zhen suddenly realized sothing and turned to Nie Jie, asking, "They’ll bring gifts to the grand event, won’t they?"
Nie Jie seed surprised by the Sect Hierarch’s question, hesitated for a mont, and then quickly responded: "Sect Hierarch, those forces coming to participate will indeed bring so gifts, but generally speaking, these gifts won’t be particularly valuable.
And since our Hundred Peaks Sect has to host them, we need to prepare many exotic fruits and rare delicacies, so our expenses and received gifts are usually balanced."
"Won’t send anything particularly precious? Oh, never mind then." Cao Zhen shook his head sowhat disappointedly and continued to fiddle with the ancient tree in front of him.
Following Cao Zhen’s movents, Nie Jie also gazed at the large tree before them, feeling the ancient aura emanating from it and curiously inquired, "Sect Hierarch, what kind of tree is this? The aura feels so ancient."
"This is the Life Ancient Tree, which Ling Xi and the others obtained in the dangerous land, but this ancient tree has so issues and requires ti to recover slowly."
Cao Zhen couldn’t say he had gotten it himself since, in the eyes of others, he was always in the Hundred Peaks Sect.
Nie Jie clearly hadn’t heard of the Life Ancient Tree, so he didn’t inquire further and instead changed the topic, "Sect Hierarch, there’s another issue. During the grand events, these great teachings set up a Formation that allows people to challenge it. Once they get through, they can comprehend the Great Dao of the Ancestral Elder of the great teaching.
But in our Hundred Peaks Sect, we don’t have a Great Dao left behind. Nonetheless, we also need to set up a Formation for people to challenge. Does the Sect Hierarch have any thoughts?"
Cao Zhen rembered when Xiang Ziyu participated in the grand event of the Cloud Reaching Sect and challenged their Transcending Array, ultimately becoming an honorable elder of the Cloud Reaching Sect.
Was Nie Jie wanting him to set up a Formation like that? He wasn’t incapable of making one, but the issue was that it would consu too many resources.
"For challenges, selecting so of our excellent disciples from the Hundred Peaks Sect will do. At the sa cultivation realm, whoever can defeat our disciples can enter our Hundred Peaks Sect to attend the grand event. There’s no need for another Great Formation. As for the exotic fruits, we can prepare a few."
After planting the Life Ancient Tree, Cao Zhen first gathered available resources to aid in the tree’s recovery, and after three days, he finally had so free ti.
"Hmm, when the ti cos, those people will surely drink and have tea, so it’s good to prepare in advance."
Recalling having connected with Lu Yu and Du Kang before, Cao Zhen, with nothing else to do and feeling quite idle, went out to start picking tea leaves and fruits...
With nothing much to do now, having been tense all the ti before, he figured a bit of relaxation was deserved.
Moreover, a grand event can’t just be called on a whim; it needs ti for others to prepare as well.
While he felt relaxed, Xiang Ziyu was still in the Qian Sky Dangerous Land, being pursued by countless individuals.
Due to news of the Chaos Qi, many people entered the Qian Sky Dangerous Land. Although the Demonic Lord Qing Shi killed many, the people she managed to kill were still a minority.
