Then the five elders gathered together and discussed the matter. They knew they couldn't afford a draw, otherwise they wouldn't be able to quell Mu Zhuohua and Wang Qiong's anger.

After discussing for a few minutes, the five of them came to a conclusion.

"My two junior sisters, after our discussion, two of us believe that Su Chun won because this competition was an impromptu contest, and it was a test of your teaching abilities."

"However, three others believe that Zi Yaohua won, and their reasons are also quite valid: Wang Qiong's control over sword techniques is stronger than Su Chun's."

“Those who cultivate swordsmanship do not care about the number of moves. If one move can defeat the opponent, there is naturally no need to use a second move. Therefore, Zi Yaohua wins this match.”

Mu Zhuohua was very dissatisfied with the result, but the judging panel had already given their opinion, and the reasons were irrefutable.

"Hahaha... Junior Sister Mu, you're a man of your word."

Wang Qiong laughed so hard she was shaking.

Mu Zhuohua glanced at Su Chun, then sighed helplessly.

"Fine, you win. Now, tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Wang Qiong chuckled.

"Simple, apologize to me, and then compensate the sect for the losses caused by your impulsiveness."

Mu Zhuohua trembled with anger as she looked at Wang Qiong's smug smile.

But he still took a deep breath and said something.

"Senior Sister Wang, I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so impulsive."

Wang Qiong laughed even louder.

"Haha, not bad, not bad. It's great to admit your mistakes and correct them. Senior sister forgives you."

"Hmph! Don't be so smug, let's go."

Annoyed, Mu Zhuohua left a message and led his disciples back to Yanjian Peak.

The other Core Formation elders breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, as at least a larger conflict had been averted.

As for Su Chun, she ignored her completely, because after learning that Su Chun had the Five Elements Spiritual Root, she had no intention of taking him as a disciple at all.

There are many ways to establish a foundation, but in their eyes, someone with five elemental spiritual roots is no better than a useless person, because cultivating one cultivator with five elemental spiritual roots is enough to cultivate several disciples of the same realm.

"Zi Yaohua, right? You're quite good. You won the victory for me. From this moment on, you are an official disciple of Jade Sword Peak. Come to Jade Sword Peak after you complete the initiation procedures."

Upon hearing the sound, Zi Yaohua took a deep breath, straightened up, and then gave Su Chun a long look before taking flight.

As for Su Chun, she stared longingly at Zhou Zhen and the others.

“Little girl, what Junior Sister Mu said earlier was just said in anger. You have good comprehension. In a sense, you haven’t lost. But in order to quell their anger, someone has to lose.”

"You have the five elements of spiritual root. You are free to choose which of the seven sects of the Ancient Sword Sect to join. As for whether you can become a formal disciple, that depends on your future performance."

Zhou Zhen left with just one sentence.

Obviously, this was just polite talk; no one wanted to take Su Chun on their own initiative.

The remaining Core Formation cultivators also flew away.

The battle ended, and the disciples who had been watching the spectacle quickly dispersed.

"Haha, Luo Qingyun, the person I brought back is still better. In a sense, I have won this time too. I'm taking Junior Sister Zi to go through the entry process. I'll be going now."

Ye Hongdie was not discouraged by her master's defeat, because she was already used to it.

In the end, only Su Chun and Luo Qingyun were left.

"Phew! It's finally over. What an undeserved disaster."

Su Chunfei flew to Luo Qingyun's side and muttered a weak complaint.

"You'll get used to it. That's just how the atmosphere is in our sect. Come on, I'll take you to the entrance and give you a brief introduction to our sect."

The two of them flew into Tianjian Peak.

The Ancient Sword Sect is divided into seven major factions: the main peak, Heavenly Sword Peak, followed by Divine Sword Peak, Thunder Sword Peak, Flame Sword Peak, Cloud Sword Peak, Jade Sword Peak, and Hidden Sword Peak.

Among them, Tianjian Peak, as the main peak, naturally has the strongest overall strength, and also has the most types of sword techniques to learn and the largest number of disciples.

Secondly, the Divine Sword Peak, Thunder Sword Peak, Cloud Sword Peak, Flame Sword Peak, and Jade Sword Peak are all roughly the same.

There is also Hidden Sword Peak, which is the weakest because it has not yet produced a peak master. To be precise, the peak master of Hidden Sword Peak has unexpectedly perished.

A faction without any Core Formation cultivators had no members, except for the former Hidden Sword Peak disciples.

Therefore, at present, Hidden Sword Peak only has eight disciples, who are temporarily managed by the former eldest disciple of Hidden Sword Peak.

Upon hearing about the situation at Hidden Sword Peak, Su Chun expressed to Luo Qingyun without hesitation that she wanted to join Hidden Sword Peak.

"Ah? Junior Sister Su, you, you want to go to Hidden Sword Peak? Going to Hidden Sword Peak means you won't have a master to guide you. If you go to other sects, even if you're just a nominal disciple, you can still get guidance from Core Formation cultivators."

Luo Qingyun couldn't understand Su Chun's choice.

But that's exactly what Su Chun said.

"Senior Brother Luo, I don't like places that are too crowded."

These words startled Luo Qingyun. After thinking about it, she decided not to try to persuade her any further.

"This? Then it's up to you."

So Luo Qingyun led Su Chun through the initiation process, and soon Su Chun changed into a beautiful light blue dress, which was the disciple uniform of Hidden Sword Peak.

From this moment forward, Su Chun will be a disciple of Hidden Sword Peak.

Luo Qingyun also led Su Chun to Hidden Sword Peak.

Hidden Sword Peak has few empty buildings, but it can be considered a blessed land of immortals, and its vegetation is the most dense among several factions.

Of course, it could also be due to having too few disciples and no one to manage it.

"Alright, Junior Sister Su, this is Hidden Sword Peak. Go up by yourself; I won't accompany you."

After dropping Su Chun off at her destination, Luo Qingyun left.

Su Chun looked at Hidden Sword Peak, where she couldn't even see the road ahead, and felt puzzled.

"This place is so deserted. If it weren't for the abundant spiritual energy, it would be a complete wasteland."

Chapter 51 Warm Reception

Su Chun searched carefully and soon found the bluestone steps hidden in the vegetation.

Although Foundation Establishment cultivators no longer need to walk, this is still where I will be living for a while, and it can't be too shabby.

So she raised her hand and slashed at the plants that were obscuring the bluestone steps with her sword, clearing the path immediately, and then walked up.

As he moved forward, Su Chun also used his divine sense to search for other cultivators on Hidden Sword Peak.

After walking for a while, Su Chun saw a waterfall by the roadside, and a shirtless male cultivator was meditating at the bottom of the waterfall.

After thinking for a moment, she walked over. After all, she had just joined Hidden Sword Peak and definitely needed to greet the senior disciples here.

Su Chun carefully observed the other party's situation and, after confirming that he would not interfere with the other party's cultivation, sent a greeting with his divine sense.

"Excuse me, senior brother, may I bother you for a moment?"

The call caused the young man beneath the waterfall to slowly open his eyes.

He paused for a moment when he saw a beautiful female cultivator dressed in the robes of a Hidden Sword Peak disciple standing not far away.

Startled, he was suddenly swept into the pool by the waterfall.

"Isn't it?"

Su Chun was confused. She had tried her best to greet him gently, and any cultivator with a slightly better composure would not break down.

The other party quickly flew up from the pool and landed in front of Su Chun.

This is a robust young man who is over 1.9 meters tall.

Su Chun looked like a little chick in front of him.

"Junior sister, you want to join our Hidden Sword Peak?"

The young man asked tentatively, his eyes and tone suggesting a hint of disbelief.

"Oh, yes, my name is Su Chun, and I just entered Hidden Sword Peak."

Upon hearing this, the young man's expression slowly changed from serious to excited. He suddenly raised his head and shouted loudly.

"Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Sister, Fourth Senior Brother, Fifth Senior Brother, Sixth Senior Brother, Seventh Senior Sister, hurry up and come out to welcome the newcomer! Our Hidden Sword Peak has a new member."

This sound was like a tiger roaring in the mountains; it was so loud that it startled all the birds in the mountains away.

Su Chun, who was standing in front of him, was startled by his sudden voice and shuddered.

"What the hell?"

Su Chun was speechless.

But immediately, in her divine sense, seven Foundation Establishment cultivators flew rapidly from different directions and finally landed around Su Chun.

The group consisted of five men and two women, who were eyeing Su Chun with curious looks.

"So, he really is a newcomer. I never expected that after fifty years, our Hidden Sword Peak would finally have a new member join us."

A middle-aged male cultivator said with a happy expression.

"Junior sister, you haven't been fooled, have you? Are you sure you want to join our Hidden Sword Peak? Do you even know what's going on with our Hidden Sword Peak?"

Another middle-aged man spoke up and asked.

"Yes, although we are happy to have new members joining our Hidden Sword Peak, we don't want to mislead them. Junior sister, it's not too late for you to back out now."

The oldest and gentlest of the seven female cultivators also spoke up to offer a reminder.

Su Chun only needed to glance at these people to know how dire the situation was at Hidden Sword Peak.

The three Foundation Establishment cultivators, who appeared to be middle-aged, were quite old.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator's normal lifespan is two hundred years, but with the help of some life-extending treasures, they can live up to three hundred years.

Generally speaking, cultivators cannot maintain their youthful appearance once they have lived more than half their lifespan and will appear as middle-aged people. Once they have lived more than two-thirds of their lifespan, they will appear as middle-aged or elderly people. If they have lived less than one-third of their lifespan, they will appear as elderly people.

However, some cultivation techniques and elixirs can preserve youth, resulting in a person who, despite not having a long lifespan, still looks young.
