Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Attribute Points Allocation

Chapter 891: Chapter 434: Return to the Peak, The Crowd Gathers_2

In an instant, everyone had the same thought.

That was just a minor interlude.

In the following period, other elite disciples came to visit, but were informed by Gongsun Zhonghong that Lu Yun was in seclusion, and they all left disappointed.

As for the core disciples, they didn’t bother to make the visit in person, instead sending their confidants to Cloud Peak with invitations, but without exception, they too were turned away by Gongsun Zhonghong in the name of Lu Yun’s seclusion.

Gongsun Zhonghong handled these trivial matters with pleasure, and he also came to realize the status and position of Lu Yun.

“We really got the backing of a big leg,” Gongsun Zhonghong couldn’t help but sigh during a small gathering with people like Nangong Rui,

...

“It’s one thing for elite disciples, but the status of core disciples is far above those of True Spirit Realm Elders, and they are also eager to interact with Junior Brother Lu.

During this time, I have received no less than five invitation letters from core disciples.

And as for the elite disciples who came to visit in person, there were dozens.”

Everyone nodded in agreement; they all had been Outer Sect Disciples before.

Just being elite disciples, to them, was something legendary, and they had no chance of contact at all.

Core disciples were an even more distant existence.

“So many genius disciples with cultivation levels far surpassing mine have been surprisingly nice to me upon learning that I’m from Cloud Peak,” Shen Miaoyi said excitedly, recalling her experiences over these times.

The others agreed, “Not just official disciples, but even many stewards and elders have become much friendlier after learning about our connection with Lu Yun.”

Right as everyone was chatting back and forth, two figures were rapidly approaching from outside Cloud Peak.

“Did Lu Yun really bring people from the Xuan Yellow Big World to Cloud Peak?” Wuchen asked again, hardly believing it.

Despite having heard the news from Yuan Yao, he still found it hard to believe.

In the past, he had entered the Green Flame Palace as an official disciple with the rank of number one in the trials, and after years of cultivation, his level had reached the seventh level of the Heavenly Human Realm. He had also made the acquaintance of many geniuses, including some elite disciples.

But as far as he knew, the treatment of elite disciples wasn’t much better than that of official disciples, except for having a separate palace and not being entitled to the service of servant disciples.

Furthermore, with talents like Dugu Jue and Ye Xingchen, who had long become Outer Sect Disciples, they would not be content to enter the Inner World as servant disciples.

“Lu Yun, having taken an Immortal as a master, holds a status comparable to core disciples, and he can open his own peak and recruit followers,” Yuan Yao said, a look of anticipation flickering in her beautiful eyes.

She, too, longed to become a core disciple one day and have the privilege of opening her own peak.

But she was also aware of her own limitations. With her current rate of cultivation, it would be a long journey before she could become a core disciple.

Soon, the two arrived at Cloud Peak, and with the token Lu Yun had given her, she could ignore the Array and enter directly.

However, she chose not to do so and waited with Wuchen instead.

The moment Yuan Yao and Wuchen arrived at Cloud Peak, Gongsun Zhonghong was aware of it.

He was the great manager of Cloud Peak and was also in charge of the peak’s Array.

With a light touch, an image of the Array projection appeared before everyone.

“Hey, isn’t that Yuan Yao and Wuchen?” Nangong Rui instantly recognized the two.

Although it had been years since he last saw them, the splendor of Yuan Yao and Wuchen from the past had stayed in his memory.

“Let’s go, let’s welcome them together.” Gongsun Zhonghong downed the spiritual wine in his cup and stood up to go.

The Xuan Yellow Big World held a special meaning in their hearts.

Those who came from that place already held a special place in their hearts, not to mention those like Yuan Yao and Wuchen who were acquaintances.

The others, although they had not spoken a word with Yuan Yao and her companion in the past, almost as strangers, now showed smiles on their faces and followed suit.

“Hahaha, Yuan Yao, Wuchen.” As he deactivated the Array, Gongsun Zhonghong greeted the two with a laugh and introduced the others one by one.

Yuan Yao and Wuchen were once the strongest Heavenly Prides of the vast wilderness continent, lofty and superior.

This also led to everyone else recognizing them, while they did not know everyone.

As a Manager of Cloud Peak, and once one of the Army Commanders of the Demon Suppression Army in the vast wilderness continent, Gongsun Zhonghong naturally excelled in interpersonal relations far beyond others.

At this moment, neither Yuan Yao nor Wuchen maintained their past attitude of looking down on many Heavenly Prides, for they had become much more humble in temperament and character.

Moreover, since all present originated from the same place, they developed a closeness and quickly blended into the small community.

“Is Lu Yun in seclusion?” After touring Cloud Peak, Wuchen finally asked.

“Sigh, he’s been in seclusion ever since we returned; besides me, no one else has seen him,” Gongsun Zhonghong spread his hands and said with a wistful smile.

“His cultivation has always been so diligent.”

This time, without waiting for Gongsun Zhonghong to speak, Nangong Rui quickly said, “To tell the truth, we’ve been here at Cloud Peak for almost a year, but have only met Lu Yun very few times.”

Upon hearing this, Wuchen’s heart tightened.

Meanwhile, Yuan Yao murmured to herself, “This guy is still as hardworking as ever!”

Among the crowd, she might not have been the first to know Lu Yun, but when it came to understanding him, she was certainly the foremost.

The first time she undertook the Cold Lake Origin Vein mission, they faced an attack by other powers. During their escape, she realized his passion for pursuing strength, which bordered on madness.

A passion for chasing power that had cost him too much.

She glanced at the people around her, then looked toward the distant grand Palace thoughtfully, “Perhaps he brought Gongsun Zhonghong and the others to Cloud Peak because he realized this.”

With that thought, her own yearning for immense power grew stronger.

Back on the vast wilderness continent, her cultivation relied solely on her innate talent, primarily following the course of nature. It was only after Wuchen became her rival that her motivation for cultivation was truly ignited.

Later, after entering the Black-yellow Great World and witnessing many strong Heavenly Prides, her resolve to cultivate intensified.

Subsequently, after a series of events and witnessing the fall of Chang Xiaorui firsthand, her desire for tremendous strength became even more fervent.

Now, she seemed to have found an even more powerful motivation.

Perhaps influenced by Lu Yun, Wuchen had no further intention of lingering on Cloud Peak and took his leave of the others.

“Since Junior Brother Lu brought you all to Cloud Peak, he must place great importance on you, so you must grow quickly. Not that you’re expected to help him in the future, but at least try not to hold him back.”

Then her gaze shifted to Nangong Xue, “With your current strength, you can consider taking on some missions, get some experience for yourself,

“Elder Sister Yuan Yao, I’ve also considered going out for experience, but I’m unfamiliar with this place and don’t have trustworthy companions…” Nangong Xue’s voice trailed off more and more.

Though Dugu Jue, Ye Xingchen, and others were trustworthy, the highest among them was only at the Third level of the Heavenly Human Realm; undertaking missions would likely bring more danger than success.

Understanding this, Yuan Yao said, “In that case, I’ll come find you after some time.”

By saying this, she had her own considerations.

Nangong Xue was already at the Sixth level of the Heavenly Human Realm, far surpassing the others and only one realm below Wuchen.

Given her rate of cultivation, it wouldn’t take long for her to grow, and she could be a good ally.

Just as when Yuan Yao first entered the Green Flame Palace, she and Chang Xiaorui supported each other, allowing for rapid growth.

However, because Chang Xiaorui’s talent was slightly weaker and she couldn’t keep up with Yuan Yao’s pace, she ended in tragedy.

“Elder Sister Yuan Yao, rest assured, I promise not to hold you back,” Nangong Xue hurriedly said, knowing exactly what to say at that moment.

“Good, I’ll take my leave now. You should cultivate well during this time and strive to increase your strength a bit more.”

Yuan Yao left Cloud Peak.
