My Master Knows It All

447: Chapter 172: If You Don’t Agree, Then Let’s Fight_1 447: Chapter 172: If You Don’t Agree, Then Let’s Fight_1 Cao Zhen had not expected that the Grand Preceptor’s appointment would be so swift, he had only just returned for one day when, on the second day, news of his appointment as the State Preceptor of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty quickly spread.

Inside the Immortal Reception House, people from other Immortal Sects couldn’t comprehend at all.

And just like the Hundred Peaks Sect, other Sects among the top ten Immortal Sects, such as the Four Extremes Sect and the Dharma Apex Sect, felt even more dissatisfied!

On this day, two of the top ten Immortal Sects, the Bright Heart Sect and the Sun and Moon Sect, came to the Immortal Reception House in the Capital City.

“What?

The Grand Preceptor has conferred the title of State Preceptor on someone from the Hundred Peaks Sect?”

Inside the Immortal Reception House, the envoy group from the Bright Heart Sect, with the chief envoy hearing the freshly received news, was instantly upset.

“In our Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, there are ten major Immortal Sects.

If a State Preceptor is to be selected, choosing from among these ten is acceptable, but why did it have to be their Hundred Peaks Sect?

Could it be that our Bright Heart Sect, as well as the other Immortal Sects, are inferior to the Hundred Peaks Sect!”

At this, Ougao Yi from the Divine Occurence Sect uttered a cold snort upon hearing this: “It’s not just that, you may not be aware, but the one conferred as State Preceptor, Cao Zhen, is none other than the Peak Master of Four Treasures Peak, which ranks as the hundredth of the Hundred Peaks Sect.”

“The hundredth Peak!” Upon hearing this, the chief envoy from the Sun and Moon Sect expressed his discontent, “To let the Peak Master from the last ranked peak of the Hundred Peaks Sect become the State Preceptor, what does this mean?

Are they trying to insult us or what?”

Around them, no one answered.

The State Preceptor was appointed by the Grand Preceptor.

If they responded, wouldn’t they imply that the Grand Preceptor was insulting them?

They certainly did not dare to speak ill of the Grand Preceptor randomly.

The State Preceptor from the Sun and Moon Sect also realized that there was a problem with the words he had spoken in his agitation and quickly rephrased, “I’m not saying anything about the Grand Preceptor, I just think that a Peak Master ranking last in the Hundred Peaks Sect does not deserve to be the State Preceptor!

I have nothing against the Hundred Peaks Sect, if they chose the Peak Master from Flying Immortal Peak to be the State Preceptor, I would have no objections whatsoever!”

Around them, everyone nodded in agreement.

Who doesn’t know that Flying Immortal Peak is the strongest among the Hundred Peaks Sect?

If the Peak Master of Flying Immortal Peak were appointed as State Preceptor, they would accept it, but even the Sect Master of the Hundred Peaks Sect wouldn’t agree.

Moreover, the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth is about to come, and by then, the Peak Master of Flying Immortal Peak will have to sleep.

His role as State Preceptor would be meaningless and have no impact.

But Cao Zhen was different.

He was merely at the Core Formation Stage, and even if the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth arrived, he would not be put to sleep.

“Anyway, no matter when, I just can’t accept somebody with only seven formed cores becoming the State Preceptor!”

“We are also displeased with this matter…”

Within the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, although the major Sects would not outright attack each other, they were always in competition.

Resources and talents were limited, and to cultivate and strengthen themselves, they must vie for these.

This time, the major Immortal Sects were unusually united, unanimously opposing Cao Zhen’s appointment as the State Preceptor of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.

Although they had no desire for positions within the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, they also didn’t want to see someone from the Hundred Peaks Sect become the State Preceptor.

What does the imperial court mean by not allowing individuals from other Sects to be the State Preceptor and instead appointing someone from the Hundred Peaks Sect?

Does this mean they are inferior to the Hundred Peaks Sect?

Moreover, if someone from the Hundred Peaks Sect served in other official capacities within the court, it would not affect them.

But being the State Preceptor was different.

If Cao Zhen, in his capacity as the State Preceptor, were to order them to do something, should they comply or not?

And if the Grand Preceptor were indeed not to sleep, what then?

Furthermore, Cao Zhen was given the title of State Preceptor for a thousand years.

Even if the Grand Preceptor were to sleep, the current Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth being so special, it still would not last for a thousand years.

Once the Minor Era ends and the Grand Preceptor awakens, Cao Zhen would still be the State Preceptor.

What would they do then if he gave orders in his capacity as State Preceptor?

To disregard Cao Zhen’s orders would be to defy the imperial commands of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, for which the Grand Preceptor would have to act to suppress.

Therefore, no matter what, they also did not wish for Cao Zhen to be the State Preceptor.

“Just talking amongst ourselves is useless,” Li Qinglei in the crowd suggested, “We must go see the Grand Preceptor.”

He was the most proactive among them.

Given the relationship between his Clearfall Sect and the Hundred Peaks Sect, if Cao Zhen became the State Preceptor, he would definitely target their Clearfall Sect, so no matter what, he could not let Cao Zhen become the State Preceptor.

As Li Qinglei’s words settled, those who were previously discussing forcefully fell silent.

Go see the Grand Preceptor?

What kind of joke was that?

It was okay for them to discuss matters privately, but going directly to see the Grand Preceptor?

What did that imply?

That would be openly questioning the Grand Preceptor, could it possibly end well?

After a moment of silence, Ougao Yi looked at the reticent crowd and spoke up: “We cannot just talk among ourselves, we still need to raise the issue, of course, we cannot directly confront, but we can subtly bring up our concerns.

It’s best if the question doesn’t come from us, the major Immortal Cultivation Sects.

We could have someone from the Scholar Dao Sect ask, as they have many connections among the scholar-officials in the court.

Let these scholars raise the issue indirectly.”

“Right, this method is good, let’s find someone from the Scholar Dao Sect.”

The crowd quickly came to a consensus on a plan.

Another day, early in the morning, the imperial court proceeded with its usual morning assembly.

Every Emperor of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty was exceedingly diligent.

It was the royal family’s ancestral instruction that barring special reasons, the Emperor must hold court every morning.
