Bab 37: The Third Peak
After hearing Gu Chen's decision to join the third peak, the other peak master shook their heads because someone who was a 8th rank Core Formation at 10 year old would definitely be at the top of the ranking at some point in the future.
However, contrary to Gu Chen's expectation, the peak mater of the third peak didn't make any reaction as if she didn't care whether Gu Chen would chose her peak or not.
As the 5 disciple who had heaven grade talent chose their peaks and acknowledge their master, the sect master and the vice sect master bid farewell and disappeared from the hall.
The other peak masters and their new disciple also left, leaving Gu Chen and the third peak master.
The Third peak master is called Yang Mei, a 4th Rank Saint Realm expert that is proficient in sword art.
Seeing that all the people had left, Yang Mei opened her mouth and said "Li Chen, as you are now my disciple and a disciple of the third peak, I hope you could do your absolute best in attaining higher ranking in the sect. Although I don't really care about stuff like status and honor, I don't want my disciple to be looked down by the weak" Yang Mei had a cold look on her face when she said the last sentence
"Yes, master." Gu Chen said as he bowed lightly to his new master
Looking closely, Yang Mei is also an otherworldly beauty. With small nose, big eyes, and a sharp jawline, accompanied with her dazzling blue hair and golden eyes, she could definitely be a Main character in novels.
"Let's return to the third peak." Yang Mei said as she grabbed Gu Chen as they headed towards the third peak
Soon, both master and disciple arrived at the third peak, and the peak itself is very beautiful and majestic. The peak was wrapped in a cloak of mist, which acts like a veil over the many tall buildings. In the highest cliff of the peak, there was a tall sword liked palace that belong to Yang Mei, and she usually never leave the palace.
"Li Chen, you could chose any of the empty buildings as your cultivating abode as we are small in number when it comes to disciples, and although I don't really care about status and honor, it won't really look good if any of my disciples are low ranked. Furthermore, the current number one ranking in the sect is your senior sister, and I will introduce you to her later when she comes back from her secluded training."
"Yes master." Gu Chen replied shortly
"Good, here is a technique that I created, and will be very useful for you until you reach the Saint realm." Yang Mei pointed her finger and knowledge flooded into Gu Chen's head
"Master, this is..."
As Gu Chen was about to say something, Yang Mei interrupted him "Alright, if you have any questions you can just come into the my abode."
"Yes." Gu Chen just replied shortly as he moved towards an empty building and make it into his own cultivation abode
Looking at the information he received from his master, Gu Chen was quite shocked to see that her master gave him 2 low tier Heaven technique for him
One was a sword technique that she personally created whereas the other one was the main cultivation technique of the Celestial Immortal sect.
Gu Chen didn't use his system points to master these 2 techniques, and learnt both techniques manually as he won't actually learn the cultivation technique of the Celestial Immortal sect as the one he had right now is higher in rank compared to the one given by his master
---------
Time passed by and 1 year passed in a blink of an eye,
Nothing important happened during this 1 year and Gu Chen spent this one year cultivating peacefully in his abode, "System, show my status"

In this one year, Gu Chen broke through a major realm and is now a Soul Formation cultivator, and on the outside he reached the 2nd rank Golden core realm.
Even his fake cultivation realm would render the people of this world speechless, as the geniuses from the other sect only reached the golden core realm when they turned 14
Gu Chen was observing his status, when the voice of his master Yang Mei interrupted him and all the other disciples of the third peak "Come to the main hall"
Gu Chen sighed as he moved towards the main hall, looking around he also saw many disciples that he had not seen before
This was also the first time for the disciples of the third peak in meeting Gu Chen, as he never left his cultivation abode in the one year he had been in the sect
Arriving into the main hall, Gu Chen saw his master sitting in a lotus position with both eyes closed, and when the last disciple of the third peak arrived, Yang Mei finally opened her eyes
"My disciples, I am glad that some of you are now ranked higher, and for those who didn't improve in their ranking, I hope you will work harder. Moving on to the important stuff, the sect master want to hold a competition for the disciples from all 10 peaks. I gathered you here to select the representatives from our peak." Yang Mei said
The disciples of the third peak looked at each other as they are excited to show the efforts they spent and they would like to show the other peaks that they are the best
"Seeing your excited reaction, I assume that you guys also like the idea of the tournament. However, to break your excitement, only 3 disciples from each peak will attend the tournament and a disciple of the sect master and the vice sect master will also participate."
Yang Mei continue by saying "Since your eldest senior sister is still in seclusion, the 2 highest ranking will be our representative, followed by Li Chen, as the sect master wanted the new disciples to compete with one another."
Hearing the words of Yang Mei, some of the disciples are disappointed that they are not selected to join the competition
"The competition will be held tomorrow, and I hope that you guys do well in the competition."
"Yes master!" Gu Chen along with his 2 seniors shouted
---------
Time passed by and the day of the competition arrived
Yang Mei brought Gu Chen and the other 2 contestants to the main peak where the competition will be held
The Sect master created a huge stadium so that disciples who will not be competing can spectate the competition and now all of the disciples that are not in secluded cultivation joined the fun and filled all the seats in the stadium
And as the other peak masters and the contestants appeared, cheer erupted as the disciples cheer their own peaks
"GO FIRST PEAK!"
"SECOND PEAK SECOND PEAK"
;
;
Looking around Gu Chen looked at the audience and was quite surprised at the number of people who attended
'quite a small number of disciples for a great sect' Gu Chen thought as the number of disciples of the Celestial Immortal is very low compared to the other 6
Suddenly, a voice interrupted his thoughts "WELCOME TO THE TOURNAMENT OF THE CELESTIAL IMMORTAL SECT!!! I AM YE XUAN AND I AM THE HOST OF YOUR TOURNAMENT"
"Now, let's take a look at the competition format!"
Following what Ye Xuan said, a huge screen like object floated on top of the stadium where 32 name appeared
"The following 32 contestants will fight one vs one and the winner will proceed to the next round, pretty simple right? As for the drawings, the sect master himself will pick the matches so that there will be no unfairness!"
Gu Chen smirked as he looked at the other contestants when suddenly, he observe a weak looking boy who's cultivation is only at the Qi Condensation Stage
'What the hell? how could this boy even enter the sect?' Gu Chen questioned as the system interrupted his thoughts
