Chapter 108: The Divine Body is Too Impetuous
The night deepened.
High upon the mountain, Baili Jiansan stood transfixed for a long time, still shocked to his core. After a long while, he took a deep breath, his gaze complex as he looked at the items in his hand. The cultivation methods were all high-level, some even of Heaven Rank, along with King Tao and Imperial Tao techniques. The Attack Skills were the same. Spirit Pills and Spiritual Medicine ranged from third to fifth, to seventh rank. The materials for Divine Weapons were even more so. Any single item here, if placed outside, would be enough to cause a huge stir. To say it was a vast treasure would be no exaggeration, yet Chen Pingping had not even blinked as he handed them all over.
For a moment, Baili Jiansan’s eyes were filled with complexity. "Little sister!" he murmured, "What kind of disciple have you actually taken on?"
By now, he had finally understood. Chen Pingping was no ordinary person; on the contrary, he was very likely an unrivaled powerhouse, far stronger than he had imagined. Guang Xiaoyu’s insistence on him entering the Wasteland must have been because she knew of Chen Pingping’s concealment.
"Years ago, Wuji Sect owed its survival to you, allowing it to barely scrape by until now. Today, Wuji Sect has risen again because of your disciple," Baili Jiansan revealed a complex smile, a hint of a choke in his voice. His choice was not wrong; his persistence was what helped Wuji Sect step onto the path of resurgence. With these resources at hand, Wuji Sect will surely become a great power in Nan Zhanbu Province. He firmly believed it.

As the morning sun rose, the two disciples atop Qingfeng also began their departure without bidding farewell to anyone. They led Lao Huang, the old yellow ox, and cradled Hei, the little black dog, with the Earth Chicken silently following and Mao Qiu closely trailing behind. A strange assembly, growing more distant with each step.
But unknown to them, atop the highest mountain of Wuji Sect, a pair of eyes watched their departure: Baili Jiansan. He had not slept all night, waiting, fearing that upon waking, he would never see Chen Pingping and Guang Xiaoyu again.
After a long while, an Elder of the Sect approached. "Chen Pingping and Guang Xiaoyu have set off."
"I know," replied Baili Jiansan. "Go call the three Peak Masters here." He paused before adding, "Chen Pingping did not take the talking Earth Chicken. It’s extraordinary and should represent Qingfeng at the meeting, so call it as well." No matter what, he had to secure Qingfeng’s lineage and position within the Sect.

The distances between great continents were vast; ordinary people might not reach another even in a lifetime. If your cultivation realm was strong enough, and you had also cultivated a movement skill, it might take only a few years. The higher the realm, the shorter the time. For someone at Chen Pingping’s level, it would probably take about three to five years. Of course, he wouldn’t be foolish enough to walk there. Upon arriving at the Dayu Dynasty, taking an airship would require only about half a year.
