Chapter 2514: Chapter 519_6
Soon, the cultivators of the Sky Clan began returning from various Outer Heaven Battlefields. However, instead of returning to their Great Thousand World, they entered the Central Continent to continue gaining power.
Meanwhile, two kings of the Sky Clan left their clan and quietly headed towards the Great Thousand Worlds of two major alien races.
If the Sky Clan were to wage war against the Human Clan alone, their victory would be assured.
But the problem is, other clans like the Demon Clan and Beast Clan are unlikely to stand by while the Sky Clan annihilates the Human Clan.
After all, for the Sky Clan to actively attack the Human Clan is to form a feud with them, a circumstance that these clans, especially the Demon Clan, would be glad to witness—seeing the Sky Clan gain another dead enemy!
Moreover, attacking the Human Clan could be leveraged by another power in the future!
After a long absence, Cao Zhen finally returned to the Human Clan, once more coming back to the Hundred Peaks Sect.
After such a long time away from the Hundred Peaks Sect, he found quite a few unfamiliar disciples within the sect.
In the past, he almost always returned to the Hundred Peaks Sect alone, seldom as he did now, bringing with him a large number of disciples back to the sect.
Upon returning to the Great Teaching, he immediately commanded all disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect to return in full to the Great Teaching.
The Sky Clan suddenly sent so many cultivators to attack the Human Clan’s cultivators on the Outer Heaven Battlefield, and now, the Sky Clan has deployed those cultivators entirely into the Central Continent, clearly preparing to act against the Human Clan.
Although, up to now, he doesn’t know why the Sky Clan wants to act against the Human Clan.
After all, the six major alien races have always refrained from making any move against the Human Clan, fearing that if they acted first, both they and the Human Clan would suffer losses, giving advantage to other clans.
Before he issued his command, the leaders of the Human Clan’s Four States had already ordered all major experts to return to their respective continents.
Now, all clans are aware that the Sky Clan plans to attack the Human Clan; naturally, the Human Clan will have corresponding responses.
As usual, he first visited the Sect Hierarch’s hall. After listening to Nie Jie’s report on the events that occurred in the Hundred Peaks Sect over the years, he returned to Four Treasures Peak.
At this moment, Four Treasures Peak was bustling with activity.
All the disciples of Four Treasures Peak had returned, along with Bei Yan and Zhu Peng, who brought their partners Qiao Jingyao and Liao Youdi, and their children, all gathered at Four Treasures Peak.
Previously, Bei Yan had not brought the children to Four Treasures Peak due to their young age and the many secrets residing at the peak.
Now, those once-young children have grown up and joined Four Treasures Peak.
At the forefront of the crowd stood Li Ke, who had come from Vermilion Bird Peak upon learning of Cao Zhen’s return, and Bi Yue, who had flown from the Dragon Chant Sect.
To speak of it, Li Ke wished to pass on her position as Peak Master of Vermilion Bird Peak after marrying Cao Zhen.
However, Tu Zhuque and the disciples of Vermilion Bird Peak consistently disagreed, leaving her no choice but to continue as the peak’s master.
In actuality, her time at the Hundred Peaks Sect wasn’t long; generally, when Cao Zhen was at the sect, she naturally stayed at Four Treasures Peak.
If Cao Zhen left the Hundred Peaks Sect, then she would return to Vermilion Bird Peak.
After all, regardless of whether it’s Vermilion Bird Peak or Four Treasures Peak, both are within the Hundred Peaks Sect. Given her current cultivation realm, she can reach either in an instant.
In comparison, Bi Yue had to travel much farther.
Bi Yue had to travel back and forth between the Dragon Chant Sect and the Hundred Peaks Sect.
If she were a regular disciple of the Dragon Chant Sect, it wouldn’t matter; but crucially, she was the sect’s Saintess and needed to return regularly to appease the dragons within the Dragon Chant Sect.
This time she hurried back from the Dragon Chant Sect, aware of Cao Zhen’s return to the Hundred Peaks Sect.
In their hands, one held a boy and girl; the boy was handsome, and the girl was pretty.
Cao Zhen gazed at his two children, having often seen them through China Cloud when connecting with his wives, or during connections with Ling Xi and Immortal Lord Jue Zhen; they were naturally his children.
Yet, those encounters were via China Cloud. Now, seeing his two children in person and sensing their aura, his heart couldn’t help but lament how they’ve grown so much in the blink of an eye.
Moreover, the two children are now also in the Earth Immortal Realm.
After all, he had been away from the Hundred Peaks Sect for so many years.
As for Cao Zhonghua, one of his two children, he possessed the Qiankun Formation Body—a top-tier Immortal Body. His innate talent was high enough, and resources were never scarce. Yi Sheng had left essences for the master’s two children before leaving the Hundred Peaks Sect.
As for other resources, they were certainly never lacking.
Their senior brothers and sisters were all at the True Immortal Realm.
And their instructor, none other than Immortal Lord Jue Zhen.
Consider this: a top-tier Immortal Body, lacking no resources, starting cultivation from the Immortal Bridge Period under Peak True Immortal Realm instruction; entering the Earth Immortal Realm is unsurprising!
His elder sister, Cao Sixia, was similar; she possessed the Profound Talisman Immortal Body, having been taught by Ling Xi since childhood.
Although Ling Xi’s cultivation realm wasn’t as high as Immortal Lord Jue Zhen’s, his understanding of talismans was no less profound than Immortal Lord Jue Zhen’s array mastery, perhaps even greater!
The siblings had entered the Earth Immortal Realm long ago and are now striving toward the Immortality Regainment Realm.
Upon seeing Cao Zhen, Li Ke and Bi Yue immediately gently tugged their children’s hands, saying: "Come now, won’t you greet your father?"
At the sound of their mothers’ voices, the two children stepped forward, bowing respectfully to Cao Zhen: "Greetings, Father."
Despite being the children of a True Immortal realm master and the Sect Hierarch of a Great Teaching, their faces showed no arrogance; instead, they appeared very obedient and well-mannered.
Yet, seeing his children’s respect in their expression, Cao Zhen couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
Their demeanor toward him felt too distant.
They resembled more disciples of a Great Teaching meeting their Sect Hierarch—with respect and reverence—as opposed to displaying respect toward a father.
After all, he had left the Hundred Peaks Sect long ago; time may not seem long for him, but for them, the change has been significant.
