An inner disciple with quick wit and boldness immediately asked, "Has the Peak Lord encountered some joyous occasion?"
The Lingjian Peak Lord was just thinking about how to subtly show off his Junior Martial Aunt's talent. When someone handed him a ladder, he quickly grabbed it.
"Your Junior Martial Aunt, Wen Xiangjie, just broke through to the Golden Core stage. From now on, when you see her, you can not only call her Junior Martial Aunt but also a Golden Core True Person," the Lingjian Peak Lord said with a proud expression.
Wen Xiangjie has already entered the Golden Core stage???
Facing such shocking news, Lin Zhaoting could no longer maintain his composure. His eyes widened, and his face was filled with disbelief.
Fortunately, this news was indeed shocking enough. The other inner disciples also slightly opened their mouths, utterly astonished.
Seeing the inner disciples in such a state, the Lingjian Peak Lord not only didn't blame them for being overly surprised but instead burst into joyful laughter.
"Shocked? It's good that you're shocked. You should know that your Junior Martial Aunt is only 15 years old this year! Do you know what a 15-year-old Golden Core True Person means? The youngest Golden Core True Person in the Cultivation World before was 101 years old! Your Junior Martial Aunt broke through to the Golden Core stage a full 86 years earlier than him!"
"The age at which your Junior Martial Aunt broke through to the Golden Core stage is unprecedented, and it's estimated that there will be no one after her!" the Lingjian Peak Lord said smugly.
Such a genius was his Junior Martial Aunt. Just thinking about it made him excited.
In the future, his Junior Martial Aunt's fame would surely be passed down forever. At that time, he might even benefit and be mentioned as, 'Wen Xiangjie, a mighty figure belonging to the Taiyi Sect, has a Senior Martial Brother who is the Lingjian Peak Lord of the Taiyi Sect...' Haha hahaha! Awesome!!!
His Master, that old man, was truly too far-sighted. Such a genius should have been quickly taken into their Taiyi Sect!
With his Junior Martial Aunt, their Taiyi Sect could at least flourish for another few thousand years!
The inner disciples of Lingjian Peak took a long time to process the news that their Junior Martial Aunt, their peer, 15-year-old Wen Xiangjie, had already become a Golden Core True Person.
Many inner disciples subconsciously looked at Lin Zhaoting.
The few inner disciples who had just been gathered around Lin Zhaoting slightly distanced themselves from him.
They had gathered around Lin Zhaoting because they thought he was the number one new disciple to join the Taiyi Sect. Who would have thought that Wen Xiangjie, who was above them in seniority, had a cultivation level far surpassing theirs?
Because Wen Xiangjie was wearing the Profound Ice Thousand Illusions Jiao Gauze Robe, which could conceal her cultivation, they all didn't know what her cultivation level was, only assuming she was in the Qi Cultivation Stage like them.
Who would have thought that Wen Xiangjie was already in the Foundation Establishment Stage when she first entered the sect, and broke through to the Golden Core stage on her first day in the sect, leaving them two major realms behind!
With the sudden emergence of such a peerless prodigy, crushing her contemporaries, everyone could only see the hottest sun in the sky. Who would care how many stars there were at night?
Without the special regard of the Lingjian Peak Lord, Lin Zhaoting's cultivation was only slightly stronger than theirs. They were all single-spirit root prodigies, and in the future, they might not necessarily be worse than Lin Zhaoting.
In this way, flattering Lin Zhaoting and becoming his subordinate was no longer necessary.
Thus, the small group that was just forming, led by Lin Zhaoting, instantly disbanded.
The Lingjian Peak Lord paid no attention to the undercurrents among these new inner disciples of Lingjian Peak. His heart was filled with the joy of his Junior Martial Aunt becoming the youngest Golden Core True Person.
The news that Wen Xiangjie, the Junior Martial Aunt of Taiyi Sect, successfully formed her Golden Core at only 15 years old, becoming the youngest Golden Core True Person in the history of the Cultivation World, swept across the entire Cultivation World like a wind.
Having such a treasure in their own sect, not showing it off felt uncomfortable all over.
Therefore, the Taiyi Sect announced that they would hold a celebration ceremony for Wen Xiangjie to celebrate her becoming a Golden Core True Person.
Golden Core True Persons were not uncommon, but a 15-year-old Golden Core True Person was truly too rare.
Coupled with Wen Xiangjie's additional identities as the Junior Martial Aunt of Taiyi Sect and the next Family Head of the Wen Family, Wen Xiangjie's Golden Core True Person celebration was held very grandly. Almost all major and minor sects and Cultivation Families sent people to congratulate her.
Red festive ribbons fluttered everywhere, reflecting the joyous mood throughout the Taiyi Sect.
Although Lin Zhaoting still failed to successfully enter the Lingjian Peak Lord's sight, because his cultivation was indeed a small notch stronger than others of his generation, he was sent to represent Lingjian Peak in receiving gifts from other smaller sects.
"I am Sect Leader Cheng Xiabing of the Baiyu Sect. This is the congratulatory gift our Baiyu Sect presents to True Person Wen." The Sect Leader of a small sect personally led his disciples to the Taiyi Sect. Even when facing a Qi Cultivation Stage disciple like Lin Zhaoting, his posture remained very humble.
"Thank you for coming, Sect Leader Cheng. This is your identity token, please keep it safe." Lin Zhaoting accepted the gift from Cheng Xiabing, completed the registration, and handed a jade tablet to Cheng Xiabing.
"Good, good, thank you, thank you." Cheng Xiabing carefully put away the jade tablet and led his disciples towards Changle Peak, where the Taiyi Sect was holding the celebration.
He didn't notice that the disciple behind him and Lin Zhaoting exchanged a glance, and the two quickly exchanged contact paper cranes.
Wen Xiangjie's great name had now spread throughout the entire Cultivation World. Members of Families who had joined other sects naturally couldn't sit still. They took this opportunity to follow their respective Sect Leaders to the Taiyi Sect, hoping to meet with other Family members and discuss their next steps.
Except for Lin Zhaokai and Zhou Yunchang, the initial panels of the other Family disciples were quite good, so it was not very difficult for them to follow their Sect Leaders to the Taiyi Sect.
Lin Zhaoting and Zhou Yunchang, taking advantage of their inner disciple status, successfully obtained the contact information of all other Family members except Lin Zhaokai.
Small sects like the Baiyu Sect could only sit in the side hall of Changle Peak and were not qualified to enter the main hall. Only those sent by large sects and large Cultivation Families to deliver congratulatory gifts could enter the main hall.
And Wen Xiangjie was the undisputed protagonist of the day.
Li Junzhuo personally kept Wen Xiangjie by his side, proudly showing off his beloved disciple to others.
"Yes, yes, this is my personal, last disciple, Jie'er."
"Yes, a 15-year-old Golden Core True Person. You ask me how I taught her? I didn't really teach her much at all. It's all because Jie'er is inherently intelligent and talented. I just taught her one cultivation method, and she directly broke through from the mid-Foundation Establishment Stage to the early Golden Core stage!"
"Yes, sigh, having such an intelligent disciple also gives me a bit of a headache. No matter what I teach her, she understands it with just a hint. I feel like there's no use for me as a Master at all!"
"Yes, looking at her spiritual energy fluctuations, she's about to break through again recently. I'm just worrying about this point recently. If she breaks through too fast, I won't know what kind of breakthrough gift to give Jie'er anymore."
