Hidden Origin Peak Was Specially Established

"Alright."

Lu Changzhi thought for a moment.

Gu Chen is currently still reflecting on his work, and since he has nothing else to do, he might as well.

At that moment, the elders dispersed.

Lu Changzhi followed Zhang Zhou, speeding all the way.

A short while later, the two stopped on a small hilltop.

From the outside, there's nothing particularly special about this place.

Upon entering, it became clear that this was indeed an illusion.

Lu Changzhi glanced at it briefly.

It must be said that the scenery here is quite beautiful.

Although it wasn't particularly luxurious, the room was decorated in a way that created a sense of leisure.

"Come, Peak Master Lu, please sit."

Zhang Zhou took out a simple small wooden chair and gestured to it.

After Lu Changzhi sat down, he looked around and couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.

It must be said that the things here are rather simple.

In short, they are all made from all-natural materials.

"Does Peak Master Lu have a habit of drinking tea?"

Zhang Zhou asked, holding a teapot in his hand.

Seeing this, Lu Changzhi quickly stood up and said:

"You're too kind, Ancestor. Let me do it."

Zhang Zhou waved his hand:

"I'm the host, you're the guest; making some tea is nothing."

With that, he got up and got to work.

Lu Changzhi couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

This old ancestor in front of me really has no airs at all.

A short while later, Zhang Zhou returned and sat down to one side.

"Does the ancestor usually live here?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhou waved his hand and said:

"Peak Master Lu, just call me Elder Zhang. The title 'Ancestor' is just a form of address."

After a pause, Zhang Zhou seemed to have thought of something, and shook his head with a smile:

In terms of status, there's not much difference between us; in fact, you might even be above me.

"Um?"

Lu Changzhi was slightly taken aback, but couldn't help but laugh:

"Elder Zhang, you flatter me. I'm merely a peak master; how could my status possibly be higher than yours?"

Judging solely from their strength, the opponent is likely a sect-protecting patriarch, or at the very least, a peak-protecting patriarch.

After all, their level of skill and strength are undeniable.

Both of these are above the Peak Master.

It seems there are some things you're unaware of even now.

Zhang Zhou glanced at Lu Changzhi, thought for a moment, and nodded slightly:

"That's true, I don't know much about you either."

Lu Changzhi's eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled:

"Since we've come this far, why don't you, Mr. Zhang, reveal a little something?"

Zhang Zhou pondered for a moment, probably weighing his options.

A short while later, he spoke:

Do you know the origin of your Hidden Origin Peak?

Lu Changzhi thought back for a moment.

It seems he doesn't know much about this matter.

After all, I came here halfway through.

Moreover, even the memories that have been searched are still there.

It seems that the only connection to this is with one's own parents.

But who exactly are my parents...?

You don't know until you think about it, and once you do, it's quite amazing.

This body has no memory of this matter since it was old enough to remember.

"Is it because your parents made outstanding contributions to the sect?"

After much thought, Lu Changzhi came up with this possibility.

Zhang Zhou did not comment on this, but instead said:

"Hidden Origin Peak is specially designated."

Upon hearing this...

Lu Changzhi's expression was strange.

Why does this sound so familiar?

If he remembered correctly, that was exactly what Cang Wenyu said to the public when he accepted Gu Chen as his disciple.

But wasn't that just to fool outsiders?

"This... is it really a special arrangement?"

Lu Changzhi couldn't help but look at Zhang Zhou, who nodded in response.

At this moment, Lu Changzhi realized that he had underestimated the sect leader's deception.

Are they mistaking the real thing for a fake?

Two words: Sincerity!

At this moment, Zhang Zhou, without waiting for Lu Changzhi to ask, said:

"The decision to establish Hidden Origin Peak was made by some of the higher-ranking elders, who knew it was a result of discussions between the various peak masters and the patriarch."

"However, only the Peak Master and us old guys know how this decision came about."

After a pause, Zhang Zhou said:

"The decision to establish Hidden Origin Peak and appoint you as its master came from the sect's patriarch."

Lu Changzhi raised an eyebrow slightly.

I never imagined that just coming here for a visit would lead me into these worlds.

Even more unexpectedly, the establishment of Hidden Origin Peak was related to the sect's patriarch.

This relationship seems a bit too significant.

"Does Elder Zhang know the reason for this action?" Lu Changzhi inquired.

Zhang Zhou gently shook his head and smiled:

"It's not that I intentionally concealed anything; I was unaware of this matter myself. However, seeing your reaction in danger today, I suspect that the patriarchs of the sect have a deeper meaning behind their actions, which is why I thought of bringing this up with you."

Lu Changzhi nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

However, this did raise some questions in his mind.

Could it be because of his parents?

However, it's rather absurd that there aren't even any memories related to them.

"It seems I'll have to ask the sect leader about this when I get back."

Lu Changzhi made up his mind.

Regaining his composure, Lu Changzhi stopped focusing on the matter at hand and instead brought up the conditions of the place.

Zhang Zhou didn't seem to care about this.

"The sect hasn't treated me badly either; I've had plenty of resources."

"I've never liked seclusion, but staying out here these past few years has actually helped me a lot. It's been better for me than anything else."

However, to Lu Changzhi, it meant something else entirely.

Just enough is not enough.

At such an advanced age, he still has to worry about the safety of the younger generation.

We must irrigate in large quantities, ensuring ample supply.

"System, you need to work harder."

Lu Changzhi spoke in his mind.

The system remained silent for a long time before finally responding:

"Master, you... have gone too far."

Lu Changzhi laughed heartily at this.

Afterwards, the two drank tea and chatted for a long time.

Lu Changzhi also learned more about the current situation and the areas where there is still room for improvement.

This way, I can keep an eye out for relevant options in the future.

With the powerful patriarchs of Zhenfeng, the safety of the elders when they go out is better guaranteed, and the disciples are also better protected in their training and growth.

When it comes to fighting, ganging up on someone gives them more confidence.

After chatting for a while, Lu Changzhi left Zhang Zhou a Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves.

It wasn't that he was stingy; it's just that the other party only wanted these from the entire batch.

As for the reason, it's because other ancestors could also use it.

He also didn't want to use Lu Changzhi's things to curry favor with them.

Many feelings were expressed, but they were reduced to a soft sigh.

Where can you find such a wonderful ancestor?

The Four Eastern Region of the Eastern Regions, the Five Symbols Sect!

After some time, Lu Changzhi's heart stirred slightly.

Inside the Heaven and Earth Pagoda, Gu Chen finished his comprehension.

At this moment, Gu Chen's Battle Intent grew even stronger.

He slowly rose to his feet, his aura surging, giving off an aura of a war god.

Lu Changzhi flashed in and walked in.

"Good."

With a sigh of admiration, Lu Changzhi sensed Gu Chen's aura.

Surprisingly, his cultivation level also broke through at the same time.

At that moment, a thought suddenly struck him.

I reckon I'll be close to breaking through soon too.

Take a look at my personal profile.

Sure enough, now there is a "(Breakthrough possible)" prompt after the realm.
