My Master Knows It All

405: Chapter 164: Great Ability Is Not As Good As Great Luo_4 405: Chapter 164: Great Ability Is Not As Good As Great Luo_4 For a moment, disciples of the Thousand Caves Door tried one after another, filled with disbelief, but they quickly found that what Cao Zhen said was correct.

This Gathering Spirit Talisman truly could continuously attract Spiritual Energy without them having to channel any Mana.

“This…

how can there be such a Gathering Spirit Talisman!”

“Never have I heard of such a miraculous Gathering Spirit Talisman!”

“This Gathering Spirit Talisman can gather Spiritual Energy without cultivation, then doesn’t that mean…”

“We, are defeated?”

Disciples of the Thousand Caves Door quickly came to this realization.

“Has the Star Monarch also been defeated?”

“The Star Monarch is a reincarnated Great Ability, how could he be defeated!”

“Our Thousand Caves Door, haven’t won a single time?”

Elder Huan Kong’s face turned extremely unsightly, as he saw that the Talismans made by Cao Zhen and those of Hao Yue were almost the same in Gathering Spiritual Aura, but Cao Zhen’s Talismans, in his own words, could gather Spiritual Energy even while sleeping, which made it immediately clear who was superior—Cao Zhen’s Talismans were stronger.

This time, the Thousand Caves Door had been defeated yet again.

Hao Yue’s handsome face, previously graced with a faint smile, now saw that smile completely vanish.

Defeated?

He had actually been defeated by someone he wouldn’t have bothered to look at before his reincarnation, defeated by a mere Peak Master of the Hundred Peaks Sect?

How could he be defeated!

A Spirit Talisman that can gather Spiritual Energy even while sleeping?

Even before his reincarnation, he had heard of such Talismans.

And, as far as he knew, back then, there was only one Sect that could make such Talismans.

He raised his head, looking at Cao Zhen and asked, “Is this Talisman inherited from the Talisman Immortal Sect?”

The Talisman Immortal Sect?

The surrounding crowd was filled with surprise; this was a Sect they had never heard of.

Was it an Immortal Sect outside of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty?

Or is it not a Sect of this era?

Observing the expressions of those around him, Cao Zhen instantly understood that they knew nothing about the Talisman Immortal Sect; that made things easier to explain.

“Talisman Immortal Sect?

Never heard of it.

This is from the inheritance of a senior, and the specific senior told me not to reveal his identity.”

“Oh?

It seems that the person you mentioned must be from the Talisman Immortal Sect.

These types of Talismans can only be made by the Talisman Immortal Sect.

Unfortunately, the Sect later encountered a disaster and disappeared along with the whole Sect, and the inheritance was cut off.”

As Hao Yue spoke, that faint smile returned to his face as if he was looking at the inheritor of a dear friend, saying to Cao Zhen, “Back then, I was friends with the Sect Leader of the Talisman Immortal Sect.

When I found out something happened to the Sect, I also wanted to investigate.

But I discovered that the Talisman Immortal Sect had completely vanished, and I couldn’t find a single successor.

I thought the inheritance of the Talisman Immortal Sect was lost forever.

To think that here I would see its inheritance, truly gratifying.

Being defeated by the inheritor of an old friend’s legacy, I don’t feel unjustly defeated, not at all.”

Hearing this, everyone around shifted their attention to the Talisman Immortal Sect.

“So that’s how it is.”

“Turns out there was a Sect called the Talisman Immortal Sect.”

“In that case, Cao Zhen is the inheritor of the Talisman Immortal Sect, several generations removed.”

Cao Zhen, listening to Hao Yue’s words, was cursing internally.

What Talisman Immortal Sect?

His Talisman Techniques were inherited from Zhang Daoling.

You’re just finding an excuse to save face, making things up as you go.

Make things up if you must, but it has nothing to do with me.

But with what you’re suggesting, I’ve become your junior.

I don’t have the habit of randomly claiming ancestors.

Cao Zhen was not about to indulge Hao Yue, retorting, “What Talisman Immortal Sect?

I’ve never even heard of it, and the senior told me he wasn’t a disciple of the Talisman Immortal Sect; he is from Tai Chu, the Natural Hall.”

“Tai Chu?

Natural Hall?

Impossible.

I have never even heard of such a Sect.

It must be that after the Talisman Immortal Sect’s disciples vanished for unknown reasons, the inheritance was passed on to your so-called Tai Chu.

Regardless, it’s comforting to see the Talisman Immortal Sect’s inheritance has survived.”

While Hao Yue was speaking, he had already begun to walk away.

Cao Zhen was utterly exasperated—as he had stated the facts, yet Hao Yue continued to weave his tale, was this really a reincarnated Great Ability?

At this moment, he even started to doubt if Hao Yue was truly a reincarnated figure of Great Ability.

As the Star Lord Hao Yue left, the remaining disciples of the Thousand Caves Door were left with extremely unsightly expressions.

They had lost again.

They, the Thousand Caves Door, were thoroughly crushed by Cao Zhen alone.

After so many confrontations, not one of them had managed to best him.

Of course, there were some other topics they had not discussed with Cao Zhen.

They could discuss the Zen Dao, the Scholar Path with Cao Zhen.

The problem was, Cao Zhen had never claimed to be proficient in Zen Dao or Scholar Path—surely, they couldn’t force Cao Zhen to discuss them.

Discussing the Dao was always subject to the visitors’ preferences—whatever they wished to discuss, that would be the topic.

Just as if Wu Jianzi, a disciple from the Sword Sect, came to discuss the Sword Dao, they could not, after losing in Sword Dao, suggest discussing the Way of the Sword with him.

Elder Huan Kong’s aged face underwent several changes.

This year, the Thousand Caves Door was confident that they could overpower the Hundred Peaks Sect in the discussions of the Dao.

Who would have thought that the Hundred Peaks Sect would produce someone like Cao Zhen, who alone overpowered their entire Thousand Caves Door.

And then there was the Supreme Gathering Spirit Talisman.

Even though he could tell that the materials for the Supreme Gathering Spirit Talisman were not cheap, by providing it exclusively to a part of the disciples for cultivation, it could greatly enhance the cultivation speed of that subset of disciples.
