My Master Knows It All

422: Chapter 167 Arrogant Ambition_4 422: Chapter 167 Arrogant Ambition_4 After slaying one of their people, the others naturally continued to send assassins after me, and I advanced through constant confrontation and cultivation breakthroughs.

It wasn’t an exceptionally large Immortal Sect; ultimately, I alone assaulted their sect, uprooting the entire Immortal Sect from its foundation.

As for what happened afterward when I became the number one expert in the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, you must have already heard about it.

What I want to say is, when I was still a mortal, before I became the recognized number one expert of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, I saw too much of cultivators doing as they pleased.

That day, the cultivator made his move, and our entire army was slaughtered like chickens and lambs.

Later, when they pursued me, they didn’t care where I was or whether there were innocent mortals around me; they would strike at me as soon as they saw me.

Later, to prevent innocent people from being implicated because of me, I didn’t even dare to enter any city.

Yet even so, they would strike, targeting people close to me, or comrades from my past.

They never regarded the lives of mortals as human lives at all.

In their eyes, as long as they could achieve their goals, the deaths of countless mortals didn’t matter.

It was from that time on that I saw through the selfishness of these cultivators.”

As the Grand Preceptor spoke, he turned his head to look at Cao Zhen, revealing a sharp gleam in his eyes, an invisible pressure emerging, making the air in the room seem heavier.

He stared at Cao Zhen and said, word by word, “I’m telling you all this because you are a reincarnated being of Great Ability.

Since you asked, I am sharing some of my thoughts with you.

But it’s not to gain your agreement; it’s because I want to tell you.

As long as you are in the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, you damn well better behave yourself and follow the rules of my dynasty.

Otherwise, no matter how strong you were in a previous life, no matter what kind of reincarnated being of Great Ability you are, I will still slay you.”

Cao Zhen shrugged lightly, understanding that the story the other party had told was nearly all known from outside gossips, and knowing full well that he wouldn’t get the truth about what the Grand Preceptor had really experienced, even if he asked.

Because the Grand Preceptor’s resolve was too strong, unyielding like a rock.

However, it didn’t matter if he didn’t get the answers; he was curious about something else.

“There’s no need for you to tell me all this, and no need to threaten me.

And making threats like this doesn’t benefit you.

The rules of heaven and earth are changing now, and the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth is about to come.

I can feel that the trickery of heaven and earth is just a hair’s breadth from discovering you.

You could fall into slumber at any moment.

Aren’t you afraid that right after you’ve threatened me, I will wait for all your Golden Core disciples to fall asleep, then invade the Capital City of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, dig up your living grave, destroy you, and make you truly die?

You know I’m a reincarnated being of Great Ability, so you should be aware that if I wish, I can easily become Perfect Completion Golden Core, and when I do, none of your Golden Core disciples will be able to stop me – not even if they all join forces.”

“Fall into slumber?”

The Grand Preceptor seemed to hear some ridiculous joke, and with a snort of disdain, looked arrogantly at Cao Zhen and boasted, “I will not fall into slumber during this Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth; you’ll never have that chance.

Not just you, but no one else will have that chance, not even if the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth comes; the world will still not fall into chaos!

This Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth is quite special.

In previous cycles, there was no fixed time for when they would occur.

Sometimes, a Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth would appear every thousand years and might last for several decades or even a hundred years.

Sometimes, it might not appear for four or five thousand years.

But since the last Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth disappeared, it has been a very long time without another appearing.

I know that many have been waiting since the time I rose to power and became the foremost expert under the heavens; they have been waiting for the coming of the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth.

Yet, the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth has not appeared for so long, and no one knows why this Era is so special, why it has been delayed for such a time.

Now, as they see the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth finally emerging, each of them has already become restless, but they, like you, will never have the chance they are waiting for.”

Cao Zhen realized, so it happens that ever since the Grand Preceptor rose to power, there had never been a Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth.

This was, in fact, the first one to occur since then.

However, he didn’t understand.

“Why are you so confident?

Do you really think that you can resist the Heavenly Dao?” he didn’t believe for a second that the Grand Preceptor could defy the Heavenly Dao and resist slumber.

The Grand Preceptor raised a finger towards himself and said with pride, “I am the number one figure of this era, recognized as the strongest by everyone in the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.

But after seeing me, don’t you wonder why I’m not as strong as those sleeping experts of the Hundred Peaks Sect and yet am regarded as the foremost of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty?

You’re wrong.

Even at their peak, they are nowhere near my match.

You must be wondering why I am so strong, why I haven’t fallen into slumber, how can I avoid the detection of the Heavenly Dao?

It’s because I’ve used a method.”
