My Master Knows It All

727: Chapter 221_1 727: Chapter 221_1 Cao Zhen found that the Eclipse Demon was truly tenacious; after leaving the ruins, he did nothing at all and didn’t even attempt to sell off the resources he had obtained.

Instead, he simply found a place to hide and focused exclusively on cultivating the one divine skill he had learned from the Ten Sounds Sky Demon.

After all, since the Eclipse Demon was connected to him, as the Eclipse Demon’s cultivation of divine skills became stronger, his own divine skills would naturally grow in strength as well.

But the problem was, the Eclipse Demon was only cultivating divine skills.

What about our involvement in the Sun and Moon Demon Sect’s schemes and plots?

What was the use of connecting to the Eclipse Demon then?

Cao Zhen was truly at a loss.

With no other choice, he could only stay in the Hundred Peaks Sect for a long time, crafting pills while cultivating.

Other divine skills could be mastered by relying on his disciples and vicariously winning, but the ten divine skills he had learned from the Ten Sounds Sky Demon were related to Musical Rhythm.

None of his disciples could be said to be completely lacking in musical ability, but none were particularly adept at it either.

It was impossible to teach them.

As for Xiang Ziyu, although the boy had a knack for grasping the essence of all things, Xiang Ziyu was currently tasked with learning and cultivating various divine skills of the Hundred Peaks Sect.

There was no time to cultivate a newcomer’s divine skills.

Besides, considering Xiang Ziyu’s penchant for wildly modifying any divine skills he learned, who knew what they would become once passed on to him.

Therefore, except for one divine skill that could be mastered through vicarious winning through the Eclipse Demon, the remaining nine divine skills had to be cultivated by himself.

Cao Zhen never considered himself a genius, yet after cultivating these nine divine skills, he felt as if he was indeed a peerless prodigy.

The cultivation of the Ten Sounds Sky Demon’s divine skills was too easy for him!

He managed to cultivate nine divine skills to the peak of his potential in less than a month’s time!

On average, it took only three days to bring a single divine skill to its peak!

“Musical Rhythm…

it’s all because I’m too proficient in musical rhythm, and the Ten Sounds Sky Demon’s Ten Sounds of Destruction divine skill follows the path of musical rhythm.

That’s why it’s so easy for me to cultivate.

With this in mind, I should find an opportunity to learn some divine skills related to the Dao of Calligraphy and the Path of Poetry.”

Cao Zhen then opened the Eclipse Demon’s file and looked it over again.

For such a long time, the Eclipse Demon had only been cultivating one divine skill and had yet to reach the peak of the Golden Core Stage.

“It seems I won’t be able to win by lying down this time,” Cao Zhen muttered in silence, resigned to begin cultivating the Ten Sounds of Destruction himself.

He discovered that this divine skill was indeed extremely powerful on its own, but it wasn’t terrifyingly powerful to an abnormal extent.

But upon mastering all ten divine skills, he could unleash terrifying power.

Yet, at the Golden Core Stage, no one could release all ten divine skills simultaneously—except for him!

Under normal circumstances, even he couldn’t release all ten divine skills at the same time, but his Golden Core was a fusion of ten divine skills.

As long as he could condense a new Golden Core and infuse all ten divine skills into it, he would naturally be able to unleash the true chaos of the Ten Sounds of Destruction.

Time passed day by day.

The first batch of pills made for Golden Core Stage disciples had taken shape, and within the Hundred Peaks Sect, one disciple after another enhanced their cultivation by two Golden Cores after taking the pills.

A small minority only improved by one, and there were even fewer who managed to enhance by three Golden Cores in one go.

For a time, the strength of the Hundred Peaks Sect surged dramatically.

Most of Cao Zhen’s time was spent in the Five-Element Pill Ground crafting pills and cultivating divine skills, while all the Sect affairs were naturally handled by Nie Jie.

At first, Nie Jie came to report to Cao Zhen every day, but later, Cao Zhen, with a wave of his hand, told Nie Jie to take full control of the Sect’s affairs.

Unless something major occurred, there was no need to report to him.

Recently, however, Nie Jie suddenly arrived.

After throwing a medicinal herb into the Pill Furnace in front of him, Cao Zhen raised his head, full of curiosity, and asked Nie Jie, “Why have you come to find me all of a sudden?

Has something big happened again?”

“There is one matter for which I must seek the Sect Leader’s guidance,” Nie Jie said, bowing to Cao Zhen before slowly speaking.

“Sect Leader, it’s almost time for our Hundred Peaks Sect to select disciples.

Every ten years, our Hundred Peaks Sect descends from the mountain to pick suitable youths from various places to join our Sect.

This tradition has never been interrupted regardless of whatever changes the Hundred Peaks Sect has undergone.”

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhen’s brows immediately furrowed: “So, this tradition must continue with our current generation as well?”

When the Hundred Peaks Sect selects disciples from various places, it shouldn’t really be said that they are choosing disciples, but more accurately selecting suitable Taoist Boys.

After all, once they enter the Hundred Peaks Sect, they will be placed in different Academies, and only after a unified assessment by the Academy’s disciples can they enter the various Peaks.

However, to ordinary people, it is simply seen as the Hundred Peaks Sect’s selection of disciples.

Hearing Nie Jie talking about selecting disciples, Cao Zhen instantly thought of the college entrance exams in his previous life on Earth.

On Earth, countless families toiled for years, and countless parents incurred debts to buy houses in good school districts, all for the sake of sending their children to good schools, leading to a good university, thus changing their destinies.

In this world, the opportunity for an ordinary family to change their fate is the selection of disciples by the great Immortal Sects.

Once selected, entering an Immortal Sect can change the child’s destiny.
