"Take a look at this docunt."
Sect Leader Gu took out a list of disciples.
"Currently, Hidden Peak has 438 Golden Core elders or disciples, 4,000 Foundation Establishnt deacons or disciples, and 12,000 Qi Refining disciples. The proportion above Foundation Establishnt is relatively high, mainly because the admission requirents for Hidden Peak disciples aren't low. Those who reach Nascent Soul from Hidden Peak automatically join the main peaks. However, after you take over Hidden Peak in the future, Nascent Soul elders promoted from there will also belong to Hidden Peak."
Sect Leader Gu briefly introduced the situation of Hidden Peak.
Su Yuan was secretly astonished. In the outside world, Foundation Establishnt cultivators could establish sizable cultivation families and secure a position in cultivation cities. Golden Core Immortals were practically the rulers of entire regions, possibly governing small countries.
Yet such powerful figures existed in such numbers on just one Hidden Peak - a testant to the Seven Extres Sect's strength.
And now he was being entrusted with leading such a massive force. Was this really appropriate?
Su Yuan hesitated, "Isn't it too hasty for to beco a Peak Master just like this?"
"This is Supre Elder Nan Gong's order," Sect Leader Gu said.
Su Yuan's pupils contracted - was this the old man who had instantly boosted his reputation value by five hundred points? So that's how it was!
Suddenly understanding, Su Yuan nodded, "I see!"
"So, what na do you want for your peak? You can refer to the nas of other peaks," Sect Leader Gu suggested.
After a mont's thought, Su Yuan said, "Let's call it Three Extres Peak!"
"Three?" Sect Leader Gu looked puzzled. "Is there any particular aning behind this?"
Casually quoting, Su Yuan replied, "The Dao begets One, One begets Two, Two begets Three, and Three begets all things."
Sect Leader Gu was montarily stunned, seemingly surprised that Su Yuan could produce such profound words so effortlessly.
He silently committed the phrase to mory before saying, "Very well. Since you didn't choose randomly, we'll settle on this! First, let formally introduce you to the other Peak Masters."
"Agreed!"
Sect Leader Gu imdiately rang the bell to summon all Peak Masters.
As the bell tolled, Peak Masters handling affairs or ditating in their respective peaks all showed expressions of surprise.
This formal summoning bell for Peak Masters was rarely rung - when it sounded, it invariably ant sothing significant had occurred.
Seven streaks of light rose from various peaks, converging toward the main peak.
Soon, in the sect's grand hall.
All seven Peak Masters had arrived.
Wang Siming spotted Su Yuan and said with a laugh, "Kid, long ti no see! How was your confinent? Not pleasant, was it? Regret going to the main peak? Co back to my Mysterious Extres Peak - I can teach you an extraordinary secret technique!"
Su Yuan smiled and pointed at the darkening expression on the sect leader's face.
Gu Qingzhu snorted coldly, "Silence! I have important announcents to make!"
Wang Siming imdiately straightened up, then shot a puzzled look at Su Yuan. If there were important announcents, why was this kid still here?
Gu Qingzhu calmly declared, "From today onward, our Seven Extres Sect gains another peak - nad Three Extres Peak!"
The seven Peak Masters' expressions changed simultaneously!
They all looked at Sect Leader Gu in shock.
Wang Siming was the first to comprehend, his eyes practically bulging from their sockets as he whipped his head between Su Yuan and Sect Leader Gu, his face overflowing with unwillingness.
Ignoring him, Sect Leader Gu directly pointed at Su Yuan and announced, "This is the first Peak Master of Three Extres Peak - Su Yuan! He already possesses Golden Core strength and will henceforth hold equal status with all of you. Let's welco him!"
Sect Leader Gu began clapping.
But no one joined in, as all the Peak Masters remained in a state of utter bewildernt.
Unfazed, Sect Leader Gu began introductions: "This robust-looking middle-aged man is the Peak Master of Artifact Extres Peak - Shi Jian!"
Su Yuan quickly cupped his hands toward Shi Jian. "Su Yuan pays his respects to Peak Master Shi."
Coming to his senses, Shi Jian nodded with a complex expression. "Peak Master Su, now that we're all fellow Peak Masters, if you have any needs regarding magical artifacts, feel free to approach ."
"Many thanks, Peak Master Shi!"
Sect Leader Gu then pointed to an elegant woman. "This is the Peak Master of Pill Extres Peak - Tao Yaoyao. You can call her Sister Tao!"
Su Yuan was montarily taken aback before nodding. "Greetings, Sister Tao!"
The Pill Extres Peak Master sighed. "No need for such formality. I might need your help in the future, Peak Master Su. If you require any pills, you can always co to !"
Su Yuan expressed his gratitude.
Sect Leader Gu introduced another female Peak Master: "This is Peak Master You Chunli of Divine Extres Peak. She has exceptional expertise in spiritual sense techniques. Since your moves have so characteristics in this area, you could learn from Sister Li!"
Su Yuan also addressed her as "Sister Li!"
You Chunli chuckled. "No need to talk about learning - we can exchange experiences."
Next, Sect Leader Gu introduced Thunder Extres Peak Master Lei Ming, Technique Extres Peak Master Qin Rong, and Spiritual Extres Peak Master Huang Shanbo, finally concluding with Mysterious Extres Peak Master Wang Siming, officially announcing Su Yuan's entry into the sect's upper echelons.
Addressing the group, Sect Leader Gu said, "You should all understand what a new Peak Master signifies. Although our sect is currently thriving, powerful enemies still surround us externally. The demonic sects' desire to eliminate us remains undiminished. We must continue acting with caution. During this period, refrain from seclusion and pay attention to your disciples. Deal with any problematic signs early!"
His tone carried gravity.
"Understood!" The Peak Masters all nodded solemnly.
Su Yuan realized Sect Leader Gu intended to purge the sect of any potential threats to him, eliminating all problematic elents!
What might have been overlooked before would no longer be tolerated.
After the announcents, Sect Leader Gu dismissed the Peak Masters.
Wang Siming lingered and transmitted, "Kid Su, co visit my Mysterious Extres Peak later."
"I will!" Su Yuan transmitted back.
Once everyone had left, Sect Leader Gu took Su Yuan to Hidden Peak's location.
This peak was essentially no different from the others in appearance.
Ignoring the protective formations, Sect Leader Gu brought him directly to the mountaintop hall's formation core with a single step.
"Place your hand here. From now on, you'll control this peak's formation core. Normally, the sect's protective formation spirit will assist with managent - you won't need manual control. However, you should know that this formation spirit is... sowhat lacking here."
Sect Leader Gu tapped his temple.
Just then, a voice ca from the formation core.
"Sect Leader, my formation core is fully operational. Please rest assured. Now, please produce the Sect Leader Token for identity verification to proceed with authority transfer!" The formation spirit's emotionless voice sounded.
"See what I an?" Gu Qingzhu sighed, taking out the Sect Leader Token for verification.
Su Yuan smiled wryly - it wasn't unintelligent, just rigid. But such rigidity also prevented many potential issues, having both pros and cons.
With that, Su Yuan obtained Peak Master authority, taking command of the peak!
"That's about it. The Immortal Seed Valley won't open for another two months - you'll preside over it then," Gu Qingzhu said.
"I understand!" Su Yuan nodded.
After so final instructions, Sect Leader Gu departed.
Only Su Yuan remained.
Entering the Peak Master's cave abode, Su Yuan found the spiritual energy sufficiently dense but the interior completely bare. Shaking his head, he left Three Extres Peak and returned to his cave dwelling on the main peak, imdiately collapsing into sleep.
Su Yuan slept.
But the ripples caused by his appointnt gradually manifested.
Disciplinary disciples mobilized across peaks, arresting certain disciples who found their explanations useless - taken into custody first, questions later.
Guard forces around the sect increased substantially. Nascent Soul cultivators not in seclusion erged to oversee various sect nodes, while wandering Nascent Soul experts and even Soul Transformation grandmasters were secretly recalled.
Within Hidden Peak - now Three Extres Peak - so Golden Core elders learned about the new Peak Master.
Those unaware of Hidden Peak's secrets imdiately grew resentful, rushing to the Peak Master's cave to assess his qualifications. Others who guessed the situation ca to offer congratulations, only to find the new Peak Master absent.
Significant changes were underway, yet among Foundation Establishnt and lower-level disciples, everything appeared calm.
Su Yuan slept for three full days and nights.
Upon waking, a system notification chid in his ears.
[Ding, Level Up]
"What?"
Instantly alert, Su Yuan checked his system panel:
[Na]: Su Yuan
[Region]: Green Vine Continent
[Level]: Widely Known (13,872/100,000)
[Realm]: Early Foundation Establishnt (30/100)
[Trait 1]: Balance Between Work and Rest: Current rest ti 3.5 days
[Trait 2]: The Dao Follows What is Natural
[Trait 3]: Seven Stars Shine Brightly
[Trait 4]: Awaiting Selection
His reputation had increased by over four thousand points upon waking!
The reason was obvious - the various impacts of his Peak Master appointnt. This ca as no surprise.
Eagerly, he ntally selected Trait 4, and three descriptions appeared before his eyes:
[Thunderous Reputation]: Your fa is imnse. Creatures harboring malice toward you who hear your na will suffer ntal shock and receive a thunderous ear cleansing.
[Wolfish Reputation]: Your fa is imnse. When your reputation spreads among wolf-kind, it automatically converts to lupine renown, naturally becoming their ruler who can command wolf packs.
[Mind Echo]: Your fa is imnse. Whenever creatures sincerely chant your na, you can sense it and perceive the surroundings within a certain range of the target.
Su Yuan scratched his head.
This trait selection involved additional effects of reputation. The first option was incredible - direct area damage! Just announcing his na on a battlefield might potentially wipe out the opposition!
"Speak my na and tremble!"
Thus, Su Yuan categorized this first trait as offensive, keeping it as an option.
The second trait made Su Yuan's expression turn peculiar. While seemingly comical, its effects weren't bad!
Wolf-kind were extrely common creatures worldwide. Once his fa spread across the continent, it ant his "network" would blanket the entire land!
There were surely powerful beings among wolf-kind, aning he'd never lack subordinates.
He classified this trait as intelligence-gathering and command-type - also quite good.
As for the third trait, it resembled so form of remote viewing, similar to supernatural abilities like clairaudience or clairvoyance!
"Wait, supernatural abilities? These three traits seem like supernatural abilities!"
The realization dawned on Su Yuan. The more he studied the descriptions, the more certain he beca - these were indeed three types of supernatural abilities!
