Gu Nian, known as Xuan.
Tenglan, known as Zhongshang.
As soon as the name Zhongshang was mentioned, it left some Elders astonished. That title was typically reserved for the disciples of the fifty-sixth generation, yet this young man clearly did not possess such an age. Most disciples from the fifty-fifth generation had already passed away.
At that time, it had not been long since the Battle of Good and Evil. Although Yin Tianheng's presence deterred some petty individuals from causing trouble, conflicts among various sects were inevitable, resulting in numerous casualties.
Was he that person's disciple?
Suddenly, someone seemed to recall something and looked at their master in disbelief. Those who understood Tenglan, known as Zhongshang remained silent, casting uncertain glances at their master. Almost everyone speculated about what their master truly meant.
On the other side, among the disciples watching the Demonstration, there were a few older ones who had yet to break through to the Golden Core Stage. They explained to those who were unfamiliar with Tenglan, known as Zhongshang.
Tenglan, known as Zhongshang, was the fifty-fifth disciple of Mok Ming Academy and a disciple of Ke Shizu. Ke Shizu, also known as Ke Zhen'e, ascended to the celestial realm over ten thousand years ago and established a cave residence on Locking Demon Peak. Fifty years ago, a disciple who had just entered the Outer Court opened the cave's door and inherited Ke Shizu's legacy; that person was Tenglan, known as Zhongshang.
Another older senior brother, who entered the Outer Court around the same time as Tenglan, had more insights about him. He continued, "Forty years ago, he already reached the Golden Core Stage. In another forty years, he will likely become even more formidable. For us, forty years may not mean much, but for those geniuses, it is enough time for them to grow into towering trees."
No one knew what legacy a Mahayana Practitioner would leave behind for Dong Lai, but Tenglan's strength was evident to all. Forty-five years ago, he overwhelmed everyone to become the Eldest Disciple representing the World of Mortals at Tiandong. Forty years ago, he served as Chief of the Outer Court and represented the academy in competing with other sects for essential resources for cultivation. He surpassed all geniuses from the World of Mortals over a decade and left everyone in awe.
Everyone waited for their master to provide a perfect explanation. Tenglan was no longer just an Outer Court disciple; even True Disciples showed him respect. What did it mean for him to participate in the Outer Sect Demonstration?
The master extended his right leg and gently pressed down on Dongyi. Instantly, all sounds faded away, leaving the scene in silence. The Chief of the Academy Tenglan, known as Zhongshang had been demoted to Outer Sect Disciple ten months ago for misusing Foundation Pills from Dan Hall for his nephew’s benefit. Based on his performance, he would be granted forgiveness at their discretion.
The moment the words "self-serving" were uttered, the disciples present erupted in an uproar. Who would have thought that Tenglan, known as Zhongshang, would have a nephew who possessed a Foundation Pill? How could a Chief disciple be so brazen in seeking such an excuse? Was it possible that the Master, being the authority of Mok Ming Academy, could be challenged? Who among them could refute the Master's decision?
Gu Ping smiled. To him, the identity of the person before him was not of great concern; he only hoped to win. All other schemes and plots seemed like mere clouds to Gu Ping, easily scattered by the wind.
Those elders claimed he was a genius, one akin to his Master Yin Tianheng. Thus, he decided to come see Yi Dong and determine if he truly was as formidable as others had said.
He never considered himself a genius or believed his luck was extraordinary. He simply felt that everything he did aligned with his desires. He had accomplished enough to survive Dong Lai and reach such heights.
Had he ever pondered why he chose such a perilous path, one fraught with danger where Coco could lead to death at any moment?
Once, a little girl told him she wanted to become an immortal and asked if he wished to be one too.
Oh, did he think so?
At that time, it seemed natural to believe that being an immortal meant living forever and doing whatever one desired.
But now?
If Coco were involved, he would never allow her to take such a path—not for anything.
It may seem like an irrelevant answer, but he had expressed his thoughts clearly. The disappointment of the cultivators and the disdain from the cultivation world were evident.
Gu Ping sensed some disappointment among those people, yet there was no utter despair. At least within the academy, there were individuals like Chen Hua and the brotherly bonds of Chen Si and Wang Junbao. In the martial world, there were heroes like Liu Lao Jiu and singers like Pei Xiaoxiao. In the court, there were officials like Yang Yan.
Meeting those people, Keke and Gu Ping, must have been a stroke of luck.
