Dapeng's Time Travel Life

When Zhang Peng, Lin Wan'er, and Su Yao returned to Qingfeng Sect, the afterglow of the setting sun was shining on the sect's buildings, bathing the entire sect in a golden glow. However, the three of them had no heart to appreciate this beautiful scenery. As soon as they stepped into the sect, they sensed an unusual atmosphere.

In the past, the disciples of Qingfeng Sect would either cultivate in the square or stroll along the paths, creating a peaceful atmosphere. But today, the disciples looked hurried, whispering among themselves, their eyes occasionally glancing towards the council hall where the elders were.

"It seems something big has happened." Su Yao frowned, looking puzzled.

Zhang Peng felt a vague unease. He looked at Su Yao and said, "Miss Su, why don't you go and find out what's going on? Miss Lin and I will go back to our cave to rest and sort out what we've gained from this trip to the ruins."

Su Yao nodded and hurriedly left. Zhang Peng and Lin Wan'er returned to their respective caves. Zhang Peng sat on a futon and took out the Five Elements Spirit Pearl. After the battle with the Dark Abyss Demon Ape, the pearl's light had dimmed, but it still contained powerful Five Elements energy.

He closed his eyes and, following the method he had discovered in the ruins, guided the power of the spirit orb to merge with the five elements of spiritual energy within his body. Gradually, he felt the previously somewhat disordered five elements of spiritual energy within his body begin to become orderly, the flow of spiritual energy in his meridians became smoother, and his strength seemed to show signs of further improvement.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Yao's voice came from outside the cave: "Young Master Zhang, Miss Lin, I have found out some information."

Zhang Peng and Lin Wan'er quickly opened the cave door and let Su Yao in. Su Yao looked solemn and said, "Recently, a mysterious force has emerged in the cultivation world, plundering cultivation resources everywhere, and many small sects have suffered terribly. The major sects are discussing countermeasures, and Qingfeng Sect has also been drawn into it."

Zhang Peng's heart skipped a beat. He knew all too well that the cultivation world was a place where the strong preyed on the weak, and the appearance of this mysterious force would likely bring a bloodbath to the entire cultivation world. "So, how does our Qingfeng Sect plan to deal with this?"

Su Yao shook her head: "There is no conclusion yet. The elders are discussing whether to join forces with other sects to launch a proactive attack, or to strengthen their own defenses and protect the sect first."

Lin Wan'er said worriedly, "No matter what, this is a crisis for us. We must improve our strength as soon as possible in order to protect ourselves in this turmoil."

Zhang Peng nodded in agreement: "Miss Lin is right. Miss Su, I wonder if the sect has a special training ground that can help us improve our strength more quickly?"

After pondering for a moment, Su Yao said, "There is a spiritual spring called the Spirit Cleansing Spring, located deep in the back mountains of Qingfeng Sect. Cultivating there can accelerate the absorption of spiritual energy and improve cultivation efficiency. However, the number of Spirit Cleansing Springs is limited, and only outstanding disciples are qualified to enter."

Zhang Peng's gaze was firm: "No matter how difficult it is, I will strive for the opportunity to enter the Cleansing Spirit Spring for cultivation."

Just then, an outer disciple rushed over: "Senior Sister Su, the elders have sent a message asking the three of you to go to the council hall."

The three exchanged a glance, a sense of unease rising within them. They followed the disciple to the council hall, where they found the atmosphere heavy, the elders' faces solemn, and seated at the head of the table was Elder Xuanfeng, the leader of the Qingfeng Sect.

"Although the three of you gained something from your trip to the ruins, you also attracted some attention," Elder Xuanfeng said slowly. "The situation in the cultivation world is currently turbulent, and the Five Elements Spirit Pearls in your possession may become the target of others' covetousness."

Zhang Peng was startled; he knew Elder Xuanfeng's words were true. "Sect Leader Elder, what should we do?"

After a moment of contemplation, Elder Xuanfeng said, "I will arrange for experts from our sect to protect you secretly. At the same time, you must improve your strength as soon as possible. I will try to secure a spot for you at the Spirit Cleansing Spring."

The three thanked him hastily. After leaving the council hall, Zhang Peng knew the pressure on his shoulders was growing heavier. He returned to his cave, took out the Five Elements Spirit Pearl again, and began cultivating. He knew that in the undercurrents of the cultivation world, only by possessing great strength could he protect himself and those around him.

In the days that followed, Zhang Peng practiced diligently day and night, constantly exploring the techniques for utilizing the five elements' spiritual power. Lin Wan'er and Su Yao also trained as hard, understanding that in the face of the impending crisis, every bit of improvement in strength was crucial.

Outside Qingfeng Sect, a mysterious force is quietly approaching. Their target seems to extend beyond cultivation resources; a far greater conspiracy appears to be lurking behind them. Whether Zhang Peng and the disciples of Qingfeng Sect can hold their ground in this impending storm remains to be seen.
