My Master Knows It All

402: Chapter 164 Great Ability Is Inferior to Great Luo_1 402: Chapter 164 Great Ability Is Inferior to Great Luo_1 At the Thousand Caves Door, Cao Zhen had gathered with the crowd to discuss Dao, surrounded by countless disciples as far as the eye could see, giving one the feeling of a limitless horizon.

However, as a figure arrived, everyone’s gaze unconsciously drifted towards him.

Clothed in white that fluttered in the wind, with a handsome face and eyes like twinkling stars, the man exuded an extraordinarily strong sense of confidence as he walked.

Star Lord Hao Yue!

Upon seeing him for the first time, Cao Zhen was certain that this was the reincarnated Great Ability, Star Lord Hao Yue.

Since his reincarnation into this world, he had seen many confident geniuses, but none possessed the self-assurance of the Star Lord before him; it was an intense conviction that shone from within, radiating from his very bones.

Even in a place with over ten thousand disciples, everyone’s eyes were drawn involuntarily to Star Lord Hao Yue.

The center of attention!

The disciples were all the more proud as they moved toward him.

“Star Lord Hao Yue.”

“With Star Lord Hao Yue taking action, Cao Zhen is undoubtedly doomed.”

“Previously, when disciples of the God Talisman Sect came down the mountain to discuss Dao, one sect after another fell before them.

But when he came to our Thousand Caves Door for a debate, didn’t he also fall to the Star Lord?”

“The Star Lord is a reincarnated Great Ability; who can compare to him!”

With a faint smile on his face, Star Lord Hao Yue listened to the crowd’s praise and gently shook his head, “There’s no need to address me as Star Lord.

Star Lord was my previous life; now, just call me Hao Yue.”

As his words fell, the surrounding people praised him even more fervently.

“Truly worthy of being a Great Ability!”

“Such magnanimity!”

“What he means is, we should call him Hao Yue now, and only when he regains the sky-reaching cultivation base of his previous life, can we address him as Star Monarch.”

Under the gaze of the crowd, Star Lord Hao Yue slowly approached Cao Zhen, and upon seeing him busy with Formation and Mechanical Techniques, a look of pity crossed his handsome face.

It was as if a teacher was looking at his disciple, and he said, “You do have some talent, but alas, you fail to recognize your own limits.”

Pointing at the iron plate Cao Zhen was inscribing, he continued, “To simultaneously work on Formation and Mechanical Techniques is to divide one’s focus.

With a divided mind, how can you strive for perfection?

How can you progress?

Know that the Dao is endless.

That goes not just for cultivation but for Formation, Alchemy, Talismans…

all arts are without limit.

How can you take such small achievements and become overly pleased with yourself, so arrogant?

This will do you no good in the future.”

With that, a trace of reminiscence crossed his face, “I’ve lived for endless years and seen countless astonishingly talented Heavenly Prides.

You still have a very long way to go…

Ah well, explaining too much to you, you probably wouldn’t understand.

But now, I am part of the ten great Immortal Sects, and you are also a disciple of the ten great Immortal Sects.

Thus, I remind you, don’t be arrogant.”

Cao Zhen’s face immediately showed displeasure, and he looked up at Hao Yue, “Why are you saying so much nonsense?

If you’ve come to debate Dao, then let’s get on with it.”

Since arriving at the Thousand Caves Door, although some disciples had initially underestimated him, he could understand and thought it was normal.

But what was Hao Yue’s deal?

Upon his arrival, he adopted a condescending attitude, pointing fingers and teaching Cao Zhen a lesson.

Did he need his instruction?

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding disciples from the Thousand Caves Door became enraged.

“How can you speak to Star Lord Hao Yue like that!”

“The Star Lord is kindly advising you, yet you don’t know what’s good for you!”

“Having the Star Lord offer you guidance is an honor!”

Cao Zhen turned disdainfully to the shouting crowd, “Did I ask him for advice?”

As these words fell, a look of surprise appeared on Lan Pili’s face.

This was, after all, a reincarnated Great Ability.

Yet, Cao Zhen showed not the slightest respect.

Not even giving the other party face, where did he garner such courage and confidence?

Could it be that Cao Zhen was also…

Previously at the Hundred Peaks Sect, many wondered why Cao Zhen had suddenly become so strong.

It wasn’t just his cultivation that was formidable, but also that he seemingly knew far too much.

The treasures he revealed were also numerous.

He had also heard Cao Zhen personally claim to have received a great inheritance, which he initially believed.

But these past days, seeing Cao Zhen’s mastery of so many arts and hearing about peerless Great Abilities, a thought suddenly emerged in his mind.

Could Cao Zhen be a reincarnated Great Ability?

Merely inheriting wisdom couldn’t have enabled him to reach such heights in so many different arts such as the Way of Painting and Calligraphy, Musical Rhythm, Military Law, Sword Dao…

However, if Cao Zhen was indeed a reincarnated Great Ability, then everything made sense.

Because in his previous life, Cao Zhen already possessed such knowledge, hence with a new body he naturally retained such understanding.

Yes!

It had to be so.

Because if Cao Zhen was a Great Ability reincarnated, he might have been from an era so ancient that he was unaware of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty and many of the most fundamental things.

Everything was now clear.

Both being reincarnated Great Abilities, the so-called Star Lord Hao Yue openly revealed his identity, even adopting the name Hao Yue.

Whereas Cao Zhen, as the Peak Master, maintained a low profile, never boasting about his reincarnated identity, and even continuing to use the name Cao Zhen.
