My Master Knows It All

312: Chapter 148: The Invincible Grand Preceptor_4 312: Chapter 148: The Invincible Grand Preceptor_4 The Sect Master was killed, and the Red Refinery Demonic Sect naturally went mad, launching an attack on the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.

They didn’t believe that the Grand Preceptor, after annihilating two top-notch experts and the entire Sun and Moon Demon Sect, could still suppress them.

However, this time, the Grand Preceptor didn’t suppress the Red Refinery Demonic Sect but, just like with the Sun Moon Demon Sect, directly overturned the very foundation of the Red Refinery Demonic Sect.

The Red Refinery Demonic Sect…

Cao Zhen did know of this Demon Sect, for he had happened upon some descriptions about the Red Refinery Demonic Sect while idly browsing through some books within the Sect.

Without saying a word, he continued to listen to Chang Tiance, “But this time, the Grand Preceptor took slightly longer to overthrow the Red Refinery Demonic Sect than it took to defeat the Sun Moon Demon Sect.

Thus, at that time, many experts believed the Grand Preceptor must have been injured.

Hence, the premier expert of the contemporary Buddhist sects, the Non-Abstinent Monk, also made a move.

However, he was much smarter.

Instead of confronting the Grand Preceptor to seek an explanation, he claimed to want a spar with the Grand Preceptor.

As a result, he and the Grand Preceptor exchanged just one round, and then he returned to his Sect.

After that, he led his entire Sect to bring the imperial edict written by the mortal emperor into the grand hall of the Buddhist sect, accepting the official recognition.”

Hearing this, Cao Zhen scoffed, “Those monks are all the same, speaking such fine-sounding words about ‘sparring.’ In reality, they want to pick up an easy victory.

That move must have been a loss for him, and he must have felt an enormous gap, so he accepted the official recognition.

If the victor had been him, I fear the situation would not have been described as a ‘spar.’”

Chang Tiance did not respond, understanding that Peak Master Cao could say such things.

As just a disciple of the Hundred Peaks Sect, he dared not speak too much.

After all, there were quite a few Zen practitioners within the Hundred Peaks Sect.

After scoffing, Cao Zhen continued to inquire, “What about the other sects then?

What did our Hundred Peaks Sect do?”

Chang Tiance recounted, “After the Non-Abstinent Monk, the Limitless Taoist of the Taoist schools also sought a spar with the Grand Preceptor, with the same outcome.

Besides, it is said that several other experts approached the Grand Preceptor for a spar, but without exception, they all lost, very decisively at that, to the Grand Preceptor.

No one knows just how strong the Grand Preceptor truly is.

As for our Hundred Peaks Sect, I haven’t seen any records of the True Person, our Sect Leader, seeking a spar with the Grand Preceptor.

However, including the Hundred Peaks Sect, the current top ten Immortal Sects have all accepted the official recognition.

And individuals from the Demon Sects have all withdrawn from the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.”

Cao Zhen, however, thought of another matter, “Oh?

In that case, doesn’t this mean that the True Immortal Dynasty would be unrivaled under the heavens, with the Grand Preceptor there, how could other dynasties possibly stand against the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty?”

“Not necessarily,” Chang Tiance promptly explained, “The Grand Preceptor has said that the territorial expansion of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty should be accomplished by mortals themselves.

The Grand Preceptor will not participate in the wars of mortals.

However, if territories are acquired by the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, the Grand Preceptor will deal with the Immortal Sects within.

Moreover, if people of the Immortal Sects dare to participate in the wars of mortals, then the Grand Preceptor will involve himself in mortal warfare!”

“Only deal with the Immortals?” Cao Zhen wondered, “What exactly does the Grand Preceptor want to do then?”

“I do not know either,” said the disciple, “but I’ve heard that the Grand Preceptor advocates that Cultivators should behave like mortals, and it seems the Grand Preceptor even said that those with greater abilities should serve mortals even more.”

“Serve mortals?” Cao Zhen started to feel puzzled.

In his past life, he had been a mortal, so unlike most Cultivators, he could understand mortals better.

But it was different for others.

During his time in the Sect, he had sensed that all Cultivators believed themselves superior to mortals, rightfully claiming higher status, looking down upon them.

Yet this Grand Preceptor was now requiring Cultivators to serve mortals?

He was reminded again of the scenes he had witnessed on the way here, where Cultivators in drought-stricken areas created rain, stopped floodwaters, and the Immortals of the Guardian Immortal Dynasty were indeed serving mortals.

But these Immortals serving mortals were probably out of fear of the Grand Preceptor’s might.

Once the Grand Preceptor…

No, that’s not right!

It suddenly occurred to Cao Zhen, his face showing bewilderment, “Now, as the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth is soon to arrive, many of the older, more potent experts have gone into hibernation.

Based on what you’ve said, the Grand Preceptor is clearly very old, and his Cultivation Base immensely high; he should have gone into hibernation by now, shouldn’t he?

Could it be that he has already hibernated, and no one is aware of it?”

“No, the Grand Preceptor has indeed not gone into hibernation,” Chang Tiance shook his head, “The Grand Preceptor has been seen recently, everyone knows he has not hibernated, and no one knows why.”

Cao Zhen speculated, “If he hasn’t hibernated, it must be due to some secret technique.

Nevertheless, no one can contend with the Heavenly Dao; even with a secret technique, the Grand Preceptor must be about to hibernate now, right?

With him suppressing Cultivators like this, once he goes into hibernation, won’t all the Cultivators in the world want to dig up his ‘living grave’?”

“The Grand Preceptor is not just concerned with his own interests,” Chang Tiance shared what he knew with Cao Zhen, “It’s rumored that the Grand Preceptor has eight major disciples, each stronger than the last.

Among them, there are four disciples at the pinnacle of the Golden Core Stage, known as ‘Unparalleled in Golden Core Stage,’ and they are not going to hibernate.”

Cao Zhen shook his head, “Four?

No matter how strong they are, they are all still in the Golden Core Stage; how strong can they be?

They may be ‘Unparalleled in Golden Core Stage,’ but don’t the major Sects have their own talents who claim to be unmatched at the Golden Core Stage?

Leaving others aside, Li Ke and Nie Jie from our Hundred Peaks Sect are both those with complete Golden Core phenomenal manifestations, and even if they’re not equal to those four, how much worse off can they be?”
