Luo Wentian glanced at a few people with a smile:

"Fourth Junior Brother, Fifth Junior Brother, you can't be lazy. In a few days, you should start finding some outstanding disciples to strengthen the foundation of our True Martial Sect. By then, we can let these young ones spar at the True Martial Peach Assembly; it'll be a form of encouragement."

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Meeting just to chat every year indeed felt a bit dull, they as brothers knew each other too well, sparring was no longer interesting.

It would be better to let these younger disciples liven things up.

"Yes, yes, great idea. At that time, each of us can prepare some prizes, not only to make these youngsters liven up but also to give them some rewards so they can grow faster." Song City slapped his thigh.

"Hehe, my Martial Path realm might not be as high as yours, but when it comes to teaching disciples, you may not be better than me!" He Yan had a confident look on his face.

Everyone was talking eagerly, already a bit impatient to take in disciples.

This was also a little pleasure among the brothers, competing with each other, which was an amusing thing over the long years.

Ning Qi also nodded with a smile.

Perhaps, hundreds or thousands of years later, this would become a good story passed down, maybe even a tradition, which he would be happy to see.

Then Ye Qinghe grinned and said:

"Hold on, Jiu, you can't let Tiansheng participate, otherwise all these young ones together wouldn't be enough to handle even one finger of his!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

The previously ecstatic White Ape instantly deflated, causing Luo Nianchu and others to snicker.

Indeed, it was true.

Now, with the further development of the White Ape's bloodline, he is solidly a Celestial Human Realm expert. Let alone these young ones like Luo Nianchu, even Luo Wentian with his Fake Pill boost is no match. Letting him participate would be cheating.

Ning Qi smiled helplessly and nodded:

"Then you guys have to persuade Tiansheng yourselves."

Ye Qinghe grinned and said:

"Little Tiansheng, come over and tell your Third Uncle what reward you'd like?"

Yuan Tiansheng's body stiffened, and he repeatedly shook his head and waved his hands:

"I won't participate, Third Uncle, don't reward me!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

This was something everyone came to know later, it was said that before Ye Qinghe had an enlightenment while brewing wine, he would daily pester the White Ape for advice. Due to courtesy, the White Ape couldn't just leave, but Ye Qinghe's talent for winemaking was so poor that it was torturous.

It was like a scholar teaching a simple addition problem slowly; the White Ape was utterly exhausted.

After all the laughter and noise.

Everyone started discussing the details.

They planned to start this initiative after most of the brothers had taken in disciples. Additionally, it was mentioned that the annual True Martial Peach Assembly had become too frequent. As everyone's cultivation deepened, sometimes a single closed-door retreat could last half a year. Coupled with their roles as Elders, if something happened, it was very easy to miss the assembly.

Thus, everyone unanimously decided.

To change it to once every three years from now on.

And adjust gradually based on circumstances later.

"When Wu went down the mountain last year, I thought it would be a long time before seeing you all again. Unexpectedly, for this True Martial Peach Assembly, we've gathered together. Truly, the world is full of surprises. The only regret is that Ba hasn't woken up yet, otherwise, all the brothers would be truly reunited!"

Luo Wentian sighed sincerely.

They recalled this day last year, thinking it was a farewell, and Ning Qi even gave gifts like the Mandarin Duck Jade Pendant.

"Don't worry, Eighth Brother will wake up soon. The next True Martial Peach Assembly will be the time of reunion."

Ning Qi gestured, and cups of Enlightenment Tea appeared in front of everyone.

The astonishing aroma burst open, attracting everyone's attention, and Ning Qi said with a smile:

"This year's Enlightenment Tea is even more lush, with better potency. Have a try."

Everyone's eyes lit up, especially the three young ones, Luo Nianchu among them, who widened their eyes in disbelief at Ning Qi. The Enlightenment Tea, rumored to be a peerless treasure, was so casually placed before them. At this moment, Ning Qi's figure became immensely grand in their hearts.

They originally thought the opportunity the master spoke of was the True Martial Peach Fruit, but didn't expect there was also Enlightenment Tea!

Ning Qi watched everyone down their cups with a smile.

And then they each entered a state of enlightenment.

Indeed, this year's Enlightenment Tea Tree was impressive, nourished with the flesh and blood of dozens of Celestial Human Realm experts, it had undergone further transformation. Not only had the yield increased significantly, but the effect had also greatly improved. With such a developmental trend, it might truly produce Enlightenment Tea capable of bringing someone into a true state of enlightenment.

...

While True Martial Mountain was full of joy.

Far away in Tao State.

True Profound Mountain.

This was the founding place of the True Profound Sect, its mountains ethereal, hidden among the clouds, seemingly an Immortal Realm, extremely profound, it was a treasured land specially chosen by the True Profound True Monarch, the founding ancestor of the True Profound Sect.

Outside the Forbidden Land of the True Profound Taoist Palace.

Three Taoists dressed in purple Taoist Robes were waiting respectfully, their eyes full of piety.

If there were outsiders present, they would surely see.

The identities of these Taoists were far from simple.

True Man Bai He, True Man Bai Xiang, and the True Profound Sect Leader True Man Baiye!

All were Celestial Human Realm experts.

Especially the eldest, True Man Bai Xiang, a peerless expert on the Celestial Being List, but despite his white hair and white brows, he was as reverent as the others.

It wasn't long before.

The doors to the Taoist Palace opened wide.

A slightly disheveled old Taoist stepped out, his Taoist Robe disarrayed, somewhat carefree, but the three True Men bowed deeply and saluted:

"Junior disciples Bai He (Bai Xiang, Baiye) greet the True Profound True Monarch!"

The eyes of the three were filled with excitement and thrill, their bodies even slightly trembling.

The person before them, the legendary founding ancestor of the True Profound Sect, the True Profound True Monarch!

Celestial Humans are called True Men.

But if one is called True Monarch, naturally, this would be... Martial Saint!

The old Taoist just waved his hand casually, he grinned, revealing yellow teeth:

"Bai He, I still prefer you to call me Senior Brother."

Bai He wore a wry smile.

Looking at that familiar face, he was somewhat in a daze. After Taoist Baishan stepped into the Celestial Human Realm, True Man Bai Xiang revealed everything, that True Man Baishan was not just True Man Baishan, but the reincarnated Taoist seed of the True Profound True Monarch, specifically sought out by True Man Bai Xiang.

It was only then he realized this was the fundamental reason why True Man Bai Xiang said he would take disciples on behalf of the master.

"Bai He greets Senior Brother!" True Man Bai He complied, but the respect in his words was completely different from before, causing the old Taoist to purse his lips, feeling a bit disinterested. He still preferred the old Bai He, who would occasionally discipline and scold him, which was a wholly different experience.

Unfortunately, those days would never return.

Now, as memories gradually resurfaced, he would begin to change.

Sighing inwardly, the old Taoist said indifferently:

"Henceforth, there will be no True Profound, only Baishan."

The three were all taken aback.

True Man Bai Xiang cautiously asked:

"True Monarch... will you no longer need to reincarnate in the future?"

Taoist Baishan sighed deeply:

"This is the last time. From now on, it's unnecessary and impossible to reincarnate."

There was a trace of loneliness in his words as he gazed into the distant sky, lost in thought.

The others were puzzled and couldn't understand the meaning behind Taoist Baishan's words. Among them, only True Man Bai Xiang carried the ancient teachings, and he knew the founder had reincarnated more than once. Each time a reincarnated Taoist seed was found, the foundation of the True Profound Sect would greatly enhance, which was why the True Profound Sect had always stood among the top Taoist sects.

Though seldom topping the Taoist sects, it thrived and was the longest-lasting, earning the world's admiration.

Originally, he thought this time would be customary too, but unexpectedly, it was an exception.

Why can't he reincarnate anymore?

True Man Bai Xiang dared not ask more but felt an inexplicable fear in his heart, sensing something major was about to happen, otherwise, the founder wouldn't be like this.

"True Monarch, will your Celestial Being Grand Ceremony still proceed as scheduled?"

Taoist Baishan slowly stepped forward, his aura ethereal, entirely different from that of a Celestial Human Realm.

"Let it proceed as scheduled; perhaps, some old friends might come." He grinned, surprisingly looking forward to it.
