My Master Knows It All

335: Chapter 152: Gao Jianli_6 335: Chapter 152: Gao Jianli_6 As for Musical Rhythm, if I were still in the Hundred Peaks Sect, it would certainly be useful.

If there were any disciples skilled in Musical Rhythm challenging the Hundred Peaks Sect, I could still pretend to be one too, and earn some rewards.

The problem now is that I have already left the Hundred Peaks Sect, so what use is Musical Rhythm to me!

After half a month of flying on the Flying Boat, Cao Zhen finally put it away and walked towards a distant city.

During this journey, everyone had used up almost all their resources and needed a place to rest.

According to the map given by the Sect Leader True Person before Lan Pili left the Hundred Peaks Sect, the city up ahead was the largest in the vicinity.

The larger the city, the more powerful the Immortals guarding it.

Moreover, the bigger the city, the more resources it possessed.

Having consumed much along the way, not only their personal reserves but also the Spirit Stones they carried, they needed to use Spiritual Stone Tickets to exchange for more Spirit Stones as supplies.

“Yong Feng City, the largest city within ten thousand li and also the capital of Feng State.”

As Lan Pili spoke, he led the group straight towards the Immortal Reception House.

As Cao Zhen walked, he marveled inwardly at how much more vast the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty was than he had previously imagined.

Traveling with the others from the Hundred Peaks Sect, they had controlled the Flying Boat without rest for fifteen days.

And yet, they had still not reached the Capital City of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.

And that was not even a direct flight from the Hundred Peaks Sect.

Furthermore, the Hundred Peaks Sect wasn’t even at the edge of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.

Starting from the Dynasty’s border, one could only wonder how long it would take to reach the Capital City.

It is said that the Capital City of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty is located at the central position of the Dynasty.

If that’s so, how long would it take to fly from one edge of the Dynasty to the opposite edge?

We are Immortals, what about mortals?

Even if they were to ride horses and could go without eating, drinking, or sleeping, they still couldn’t cross the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty in their lifetime.

The Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty must have been constantly expanding its territory over the years, who knows by how many times!

While Cao Zhen pondered, he followed the crowd into the city.

He had never been to the Immortal Reception House in Set Soil City; he had only entered the one in Yu Min Town.

Now, he found that the Immortal Reception House in Yong Feng City was more than ten times larger than the one in Yu Min Town.

Outside the Immortal Reception House, there were two rows of soldiers who looked very elite, guarding the place.

Each of them stood as straight as a javelin, none of them slack or shirking their duties.

As the group arrived, and Lan Pili presented the document for visiting the Capital City to pay respects, an official from inside the Immortal Reception House quickly brought them inside.

Not long after, a man with a majestic appearance, wearing official robes, accompanied by numerous officials, arrived inside the Immortal Reception House.

The leading official introduced himself to Cao Zhen and the others with a salute, “This official is the Governor of Feng State, Kuang Yongmao.”

Lan Pili immediately returned the salute, “Head envoy of the mission, Peak Master of Lightning Peak from the Hundred Peaks Sect, Lan Pili.”

Cao Zhen also stepped forward and said, “Deputy envoy of the mission, Peak Master of Four Treasures Peak from the Hundred Peaks Sect, Cao Zhen.”

While speaking, he extended a hand towards Kuang Yongmao, intending to grab him.

Previously, in Yu Min Town, it turned out that the town leader had been compromised, and now, carrying the white-haired witch from the Red Refinery Demonic Sect with them, he had to be extremely cautious.

He wanted to test whether there was something amiss with the Governor.

Just as his hand was about to touch the Governor, suddenly, a slightly emaciated palm shot out from behind the Governor.

Instantly, a powerful surge of mana rushed forward.

Taken by surprise, Cao Zhen was pushed back, staggering and channeling his mana, he retreated two steps before he could steady himself.

Across from him, an old man with a wispy goatee, dressed in white silk finery, stepped forward, shielding Kuang Yongmao and staring coldly at Cao Zhen as he rebuked, “How dare you.”

Cao Zhen steadied himself and upon seeing the elder, immediately understood that this person must be the Garrisoned Immortal of this place.

He looked around and then back at the elder, saying, “I didn’t mean to do anything to him, but I need to check him.”

The elder scoffed with a sneer, “I am well aware that you’re investigating.

Otherwise, you wouldn’t have simply pushed him away.

You are not qualified to investigate.

Governor Kuang is an official bestowed by the imperial court and is not someone you can simply touch.”

“I know he is an official appointed by the imperial court,” Cao Zhen said without any sign of backing down.

Advancing a step, he said, “On our way here, we encountered an imperial-appointed official from a small town called Yu Min Town.

That small town had already been infiltrated by the Red Refinery Demonic Sect.

The Demonic Sect even set up a Formation there that drew in the Blood River…”

Cao Zhen briefly recounted what had happened in Yu Min Town before continuing, “I don’t mean any disrespect to him, but for safety’s sake, I would like to investigate whether there is any Demonic Qi on him.”

“Demonic Qi?

What a joke,” the elder gazed at Cao Zhen disparagingly and laughed coldly, “I am with Governor Kuang every day.

If there were Demonic Qi on him, wouldn’t I, an Elder, be able to detect it?”

With that, he paused slightly, looked at Cao Zhen with a mocking expression, and said, “Do you know who I am?

I am an Elder of the Shadowless Pavilion from the Bright Heart Sect, one of the top ten Immortal Sects in the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.

Moreover, I have reached the peak of the Golden Core Stage and possess the cultivation of the Wind Fire Tribulation.”

“If he had any issues, and I as an Elder could not detect them, do you, a mere Peak Master from the Hundred Peaks Sect of the Hundredth Peak, think you could?”

The Wind Fire Tribulation!

Upon reaching the pinnacle of Golden Core Cultivation, one faces the Wind Fire Tribulation.

Once the Tribulation is passed, a step forward would lead to becoming an Earth Immortal.

Therefore, many cultivators at the pinnacle of Golden Core and on the verge of facing the Wind Fire Tribulation often proclaim themselves as having the Cultivation Base of the Wind Fire Tribulation.

Cao Zhen glanced at Elder Shadowless, nodded slightly, and turned to walk away.

Let the other boast if he wanted; Cao Zhen had no desire to argue with him.

If this person was a Golden Core cultivator of the Wind Fire Tribulation, always in the Governor’s company, then the Governor likely had no issues either.

In fact, the stronger the cultivating power of the Garrisoned Immortal here, the better for his own safety.
