My Master Knows It All

After examining numerous scriptures written by Cao Zhen, he finally achieved enlightenment.

Previously, during his first visit to the Hidden Dragon Immortal Palace, he experienced enlightenment upon seeing the calligraphy penned by Cao Zhen for the first time.

However, after that, despite witnessing Cao Zhen’s writing numerous times, whether at the Golden Core Club on Vermilion Bird Peak, or the plaques specifically written for their peak by Cao Zhen alone, or even Cao Zhen’s calligraphy during two debates, he witnessed them all but never achieved enlightenment again.

His realm was simply too inferior.

Although he never achieved enlightenment again, he gained some insight every time.

Now, after accumulating insights time and again, he finally grasped the implied meanings of the characters.

He achieved enlightenment!

Next to him, Elder Xue looked on, his body breaking out in goosebumps at the sight of each character brimming with boundless murderous intent.

This writing, the killing intent is too deep!

He even felt as though Cao Zhen was about to draw his sword as if he would act the next moment!

This writing…

How could Cao Zhen craft such writing!

Could this be the writing of a Peak Master of the Hundred Peaks Sect ranked at the hundredth position?

This writing is not a bit inferior to that of their Sect Leader, a True Person!

Elder Xue looked at the words before him, utterly unable to comprehend.

How many years had he spent to achieve such a level in the Dao of Calligraphy?

How could Cao Zhen possess such calligraphic prowess!

Around them, individuals from various Immortal Sects also started to look at the writing produced by Cao Zhen.

Upon one glance, their hearts sank.

This writing…

Whether they understood calligraphy or not, they could all instantly see the gap between them.

This writing doesn’t even need comparison.

Although Elder Xue’s writing also looked good and beautiful, Cao Zhen’s writing, every single character, every stroke, was filled with endless killing intent!

The spiritual aura within this writing far surpassed what Elder Xue could compare to.

Did Cao Zhen win?

He actually won in the Dao of Calligraphy against Elder Xue of the Four Extremes Sect!

After Cao Zhen finished writing, he didn’t even bother to dry the ink and looked towards Elder Xue with a smile, asking, “Elder, how would you rate my writing?”

The other side wrote first, then it was his turn.

This made things much easier for manipulation; all he needed was to outdo his opponent.

It wasn’t like the time at Thousand Caves Door when he didn’t even know the exact level of his opponent and dared not be too lenient.

Elder Xue’s face turned a deep red instantly, he glared furiously at Cao Zhen but eventually said, “Peak Master Cao’s writing is beyond my reach!”

Inferior was inferior; there was no hiding such things.

Being a disciple of one of the top ten Immortal Sects, he couldn’t do something so low as to claim he was stronger when he was clearly outmatched.

Beneath the platform, Cave Master Peng whispered secretly to Cave Master Hu, “Peak Master Cao held back.

This writing is slightly inferior to what he had produced at our Thousand Caves Door on that day.”

“It seems that Peak Master Cao still possesses a benevolent heart and does not wish to shame Elder Xue too much, considering that the relationship between Hundred Peaks Sect and Four Extremes Sect isn’t bad,” nodded Cave Master Hu slightly as he replied, “However, I did not expect Elder Xue not to have an instant of enlightenment; that is beyond my expectations.”

Cave Master Peng conveyed privately, “Calligraphy knowledge does not guarantee enlightenment upon witnessing superior writing.

The writing must resonate with one’s spirit.

Elder Xue’s writing carries the essence of being carefree and natural, whereas Peak Master Cao’s suddenly became filled with murderous intent, fundamentally different from Elder Xue’s carefreeness.

With such different paths, naturally, there couldn’t be any enlightenment.”

Unexpectedly, Peak Master Cao’s cultivation in calligraphy knowledge reached such profound depths.

Previously, when Peak Master Cao debated in our Thousand Caves Door, none of the words he wrote carried such thick murderous intent!”

As the two exchanged whispers secretly, Lan Pili asked from below the platform, “Peak Master Cao, this poem was also composed by yourself, wasn’t it?”

“Indeed, it was my work,” Cao Zhen replied without flinching, since he’d already plagiarized, one more poem didn’t matter.

With an I-knew-it expression, Lan Pili turned towards Elder Xue and deliberately raised his voice, “Elder Xue, how does your poem compare to that of Peak Master Cao?”

Elder Xue’s face was already beet red, a perfect imitation of a liver.

Was there any need to ask?

This should be obvious!

Cao Zhen’s poem, with its undercurrent of killing intent and its unrestrained spirit, surpassed all the poetry he had ever composed in his life, not to mention his impromptu compositions.

“Peak Master Cao truly possesses a grand spirit; his poetry is beyond me,” Elder Xue sighed deeply, unable to fathom how Cao Zhen could have crafted such a poem.

Perhaps others couldn’t perceive it, but he could clearly sense the deeper meaning within the poetry…

He even felt that Peak Master Cao…

No, it would be more accurate to say the Hundred Peaks Sect, was perhaps harboring thoughts of rebellion.

Otherwise, why would Cao Zhen produce such a poem?

Rebellion?

Why would the Hundred Peaks Sect suddenly think of rebellion?

Aren’t they afraid of the Grand Preceptor?

No, Cao Zhen had just met with the Grand Preceptor not long ago.

Could it be that something had gone wrong with the Grand Preceptor?

But hadn’t the Grand Preceptor just experienced an enlightenment?

For a time, Elder Xue considered many things.

Down below the platform, Kou Shaoyuan’s face had turned completely black.

Cao Zhen had actually won!

Wasn’t it said that although Elder Xue from the Four Extremes Sect didn’t have an exceptionally high cultivation base, he was well-versed and excelled in everything?

So, this was being well-versed and excelling in everything?

He couldn’t even defeat a mere hundredth Peak Master from the small Hundred Peaks Sect!
