Chapter name is wrong, temporarily unable to change, it should be “Oh my, the unparalleled master you speak of is my junior brother!”

The Eighteen Heavenly Tribulations came to an end, the Chaos Divine Thunder disappeared, and Lu Changsheng walked out of the wasteland, having achieved the Great Luo Golden Body.
Lu Changsheng’s aura was immensely strong, having become much more powerful than during his Half-Step Great Luo Golden Immortal phase.
“The younger generation is to be feared,”
Feeling the evident strong aura of Lu Changsheng, surpassing that of an ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortal of the first level, Qingyangzi couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.
Daoist Yuxuan said to Qingyangzi, “Sect Leader, I would like to appoint Changsheng as the deputy Peak Master of our Jingyun Peak, what do you think?”
“That’s acceptable.”
Qingyangzi knew that Lu Changsheng’s talent was terrifying and his future potential was not limited to being a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Having broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm, Lu Changsheng was already qualified to be at the level of a Peak Master.
Experience more tales on empire
Since all nine main peaks of Zhengsheng Sect already had Peak Masters, it made sense for Lu Changsheng to become a deputy Peak Master.
Lu Changsheng also did not refuse the role of deputy Peak Master of Jingyun Peak.
With the backing of Zhengsheng Sect, even if Lu Changsheng provoked the seven Great Demons, they could do nothing to him.
Daoist Yuxuan was in high spirits, “Our Jingyun Peak now has two Great Luo Golden Immortals, finally no longer the weakest of the nine peaks. Who dares say our Jingyun Peak is the weakest? At the upcoming disciple recruitment ceremony, our peak’s reputation will soar, and we will definitely be able to recruit several talented disciples.”
The disciple recruitment ceremony?
Lu Changsheng knew that Zhengsheng Sect held a disciple recruitment ceremony every five hundred years, which immediately piqued his interest.
Zhengsheng Sect was renowned within a million miles as the number one Immortal Sect in the vicinity.
Countless young talents flocked to participate in Zhengsheng Sect’s disciple recruitment ceremony, and perhaps he could find another exceptionally talented disciple there.
Lu Changsheng returned to Changqing Cave to consolidate his cultivation.
Looking inward at his Inner World, now that the Great Luo Golden Body was complete, his physical strength had increased several folds, with golden blood flowing through his veins containing extremely minute Fragments of the Great Dao.
“As long as I continue practicing the ‘Transforming Dragon Art’, then I can clash with Holy Artifacts barehanded.”
After solidifying his cultivation, Lu Changsheng knew his body’s strength was far from its limit.
The ‘Transforming Dragon Art’ was a Quasi-Emperor Tier Body Tempering Skill with a very high potential ceiling.
At Mount Zhengsheng, preparations for the disciple recruitment ceremony, held once every five hundred years, were underway.
The scale of the disciple recruitment ceremony couldn’t compare to the once-in-ten-thousand-years Nine Veins Martial Meeting, but it was still a grand event.
If the nine Peak Masters were not in seclusion, they would all participate in the disciple recruitment ceremony, vying for talented disciples.
All nine main peaks hoped the most outstanding talents would join their own peaks, so the competition for them was quite fierce.
Qingyangzi’s Mount Zhengsheng was undoubtedly the most popular choice, followed by Daoist Luo Yu’s Azure Dragon Peak… and finally Daoist Yuxuan’s Jingyun Peak.
However, after the Nine Veins Martial Meeting, with Jingyun Peak’s master and disciples securing first place in both the Elder and Supreme Elder categories, Jingyun Peak’s reputation soared, becoming the second most popular choice after Mount Zhengsheng.
Tens of thousands of candidates participated in the disciple recruitment ceremony, with the least qualified being in the Nascent Soul Realm.
Candidates at the Nascent Soul Realm were the lowest in cultivation among the candidates, and amongst them, there were even Earth Immortals.
As for experts at the Heavenly Immortal Level, there was no need for them to participate in the disciple recruitment ceremony; they could join Zhengsheng Sect directly and become Elders.
Zhengsheng Sect, unlike Tai Hua Holy Land, did not possess Holy Land level cultivation techniques and was not afraid of their techniques being leaked. As long as one had enough Sect Contribution Points, they could exchange for Zhengsheng Sect’s cultivation techniques.
Tai Hua Holy Land, however, had no shortage of people working for them, so they were not concerned about Sect Contribution Points but were very cautious about preventing the leakage of their unique cultivation techniques.
Among the tens of thousands of disciple candidates, there was a Daoist with a restrained aura, eyes closed in meditation, using Divine Skills to eavesdrop on the whispers of the surrounding candidates.
“It’s said that Mount Zhengsheng is managed by Sect Leader Qingyangzi, and to get the best cultivation resources, naturally, one should choose to join Mount Zhengsheng. With some luck, one could even receive personal guidance from Qingyangzi, and their cultivation would surely skyrocket.”
“You are mistaken. Although Mount Zhengsheng’s Great Luo Palace is indeed where Sect Leader Qingyangzi cultivates, I’ve heard from disciples within Zhengsheng Sect that Sect Leader Qingyangzi often enters seclusion, and it’s usually the Head Direct Disciple, Star Sword Daoist, who manages the affairs of Mount Zhengsheng. Star Sword Daoist, being a Half-Step Great Luo Golden Immortal, may not necessarily be stronger than the other eight Peak Masters.”
“Being advised by a Supreme Elder is already a huge blessing; how can you complain about Star Sword Daoist, a Half-Step Great Luo Golden Immortal? As the first disciple of Sect Leader Qingyangzi, Star Sword Daoist is known as the strongest among them. With his talent, becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal and taking charge of Zhengsheng Sect’s Great Luo Palace is only a matter of time.”
“My second uncle’s nephew’s second grandfather’s cousin is an Elder of Zhengsheng Sect. He told me that at the recent Nine Veins Martial Meeting, Jingyun Peak produced an unknown unparalleled master who is also a Half-Step Great Luo Golden Immortal. Yet, he dominated the competition, winning the Martial Meeting with a ranking even above Star Sword Daoist. Moreover, I’ve heard he has already become a true Great Luo Golden Immortal and is now the deputy Peak Master of Jingyun Peak. In other words, Jingyun Peak has two Great Luo Golden Immortals and possibly ranks second in strength only to Mount Zhengsheng.”
“Really? There is an unparalleled master who is stronger in the same realm than Star Sword Daoist?”
“Why else would Jingyun Peak, which has always been at the bottom in strength, become the second favorite in this disciple recruitment ceremony? It’s all because of this unparalleled master. According to unconfirmed sources, Sect Leader Qingyangzi personally acknowledged that this person’s potential might not stop at Great Luo Golden Immortal. If one could become his disciple, the benefits received in the future might even surpass those of Sect Leader Qingyangzi’s own Direct Disciples.”
