My Master Knows It All

Moreover, many of the experts from the Extreme Formation Sect have died, and it has somewhat impacted their inheritance.

He also wishes to impart some more teachings to the Extreme Formation Sect.

As for the Hundred Peaks Sect, their legacy has hardly been affected, thanks to Xiang Ziyu. He has been enhancing Hundred Peaks Sect’s spell formations of each peak.

Ultimately, all are cultivators. Over more than a month, both the Hundred Peaks Sect and Extreme Formation Sect have mostly recovered. The reconstruction of their individual cave mansions and mountain gates can take place gradually.

Now, disciples from both great teachings have begun to integrate, and preparations are underway to recruit more disciples. Both sects need to replenish their ranks given the considerable losses they sustained.

In the mountain gate of the Extreme Formation Sect, the Sect Hierarch looked around at everyone, feeling a headache, and said, ”Disciples need to be recruited, and we can travel further to recruit more disciples.

Since we only recruit disciples suited for the path of formations in the Extreme Formation Sect, we are not in conflict with other great teachings, and people from other sects won’t complain.

The current issue is that some of our inheritance is broken.”

As the Sect Hierarch’s voice faded, everyone around became silent. Although the disrupted inheritance isn’t their most powerful, it is still part of the Extreme Formation Sect’s legacy, pioneered by their predecessors. How could they face those elders who explored and developed this inheritance!

”And...,” Immortal Lord Jue Zhen just started to say something when suddenly a disciple’s voice came from outside.

”Sect Leader, Elder, the Hundred Peaks Sect Leader is here.”

”Hundred Peaks Sect Leader?”

”Hundred Peaks Sect is still recovering, why would he come at this time?”

Despite their curiosity, they all flew out of the main hall to welcome Cao Zhen’s arrival.

Cao Zhen was escorted into the grand hall of the Extreme Formation Sect. He opened his mouth, posing a question that left the Extreme Formation Sect members unsure of how to respond.

”What is your view of Immortal Lord Zong Zhen?”

For a while, everyone in the Extreme Formation Sect fell into silence.

After a long time, the Sect Hierarch spoke, ”Sect Leader Cao, you should know what he has done to our Sect before. His past actions are utterly unforgivable.

However, he saved so many of our disciples in the end, making him a benefactor of our sect.

No matter who, saving such numbers, we owe gratitude. Considering his past identity as our sect disciple,

As Sect Leader, I agree to accept him back to the Extreme Formation Sect!”

As his words settled, gasps of surprise erupted from all around.

”What!”

”Sect Leader!”

”Sect Leader, you...”

This issue had been previously discussed and determined that the most suitable approach was to construct a memorial for Immortal Lord Zong Zhen on Spirit Mountain, symbolizing his return to the Great Teaching.

Beyond this, there was not much promotion.

But the Sect Leader’s intention seems to announce publically Zong Zhen’s return to the Extreme Formation Sect, which seemed incompatible with honoring disciples who died at Zong Zhen’s hands!

Seeing the excited crowd, the Sect Hierarch gently waved his hand and said, ”I understand everyone’s thoughts, but Zong Zhen’s past wrongs cannot be counteracted simply by saving so many of our disciples.

Therefore, Zong Zhen will be buried at the base of Spirit Mountain, and on his gravestone, the words ’Sect Sinner’ will be engraved!

He is our hero, yet also a sinner! Punishing him by having him guard Spirit Mountain for eternity! That’s all, no more discussion necessary.”

He understood that discreetly burying Zong Zhen in Spirit Mountain would have been the best approach.

However, this meant Zong Zhen never formally returned to the Extreme Formation Sect.

He knew Zong Zhen’s deepest desire was to return to the sect.

So, he made this decision.

As the Sect Leader spoke, those around him fell silent, realizing that since Zong Zhen is already dead, punishment is hardly a topic needed. Indeed, the Sect Leader had accepted him.

Cao Zhen nodded slightly upon hearing this, realizing that the Extreme Formation Sect members essentially accepted Zong Zhen, easing further dialogue.

”Since that is the case, you must be aware that Zong Zhen practiced the Way of the Human Formation?” Cao Zhen spoke again, looking at them with his inquiry. ”What is your view on the Way of the Human Formation?”

Mistaken-Formation responded immediately, saying, ”The Way of the Human Formation does possess distinctive aspects; its powers are evident, but the practice of the Human Array Path can offend the heavens.”

Xuan Zhen also gently nodded, saying, ”Indeed, the Way of the Human Formation requires harsh measures for cultivation! I’m curious why Sect Leader Cao suddenly brought up the Way of the Human Formation.”

Cao Zhen didn’t directly address their queries but pointed toward Immortal Lord Jue Zhen, saying, ”You should all know that Jue Zhen pursued the Way of the Human Formation without harming any Extreme Formation Sect disciples.

Actually, the Way of the Human Formation isn’t cruel. It’s just that Zong Zhen’s approach was previously too extreme, and he was experimenting in Human Formation, which led to those unfortunate events.

Nowadays, his Way of the Human Formation is practically complete.

He once shared his insights with me, and I understand his practice intimately. Despite everything, he was part of your Extreme Formation Sect, and I wish not for his methodology to lose succession, so I ask if you would be willing to cultivate his Way of the Human Formation. It requires no harm to your disciples, allowing this cultivation!”
