My Master Knows It All

983: 263_5 983: 263_5 In an instant, a silver glow rose in the sky above Celestial Plum Sect, enveloping the sect like a gossamer shroud.

The enormous meteor Xu Ying smashed onto the barrier but could not advance any further.

Though Huang Feng was of the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, stronger even than Wu Xiang, Wu Xiang was now drawing power from the Mountain Protection Array, which was naturally capable of blocking Huang Feng’s attack.

At Huang Feng’s side, Xu Yan had at some point produced an ancient-looking zither.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, he placed his fingers on the zither.

As his fingers moved, the zither strings trembled lightly, and with that, a visible Qi Wave suddenly shot out, fierce as a Divine weapon, easily slicing through the air and leaving a clear path.

With every stroke of his fingers, another Qi Wave shot from the strings, and the pace of his fingers quickened.

Wave after wave shot out, hurtling toward the Celestial Plum Sect’s Mountain Protection Array.

In a blink, they bombarded the barrier.

The entire barrier of Celestial Plum Sect trembled violently.

“Borrowing the Formation to block two people’s attack, I wonder if you can also stop three?” Hua Zhiyu sneered as her figure shot forward, only stopping when she was one li from Celestial Plum Sect, where her teal whip suddenly whirled into action.

The next moment the seemingly slender whip, much like a willow branch, abruptly expanded and lengthened, spreading forth like a giant teal snake bursting from the deep sea.

A mere soft whip in motion seemed to carry the unrivaled power to destroy heaven and earth, coming down with a thunderous crash.

The space trembled wherever the whip passed.

Due to the long peace, the ground in front of Celestial Plum Sect had grown lush with grass.

Now, countless blades were shattered into fine dust by the wave of Qi, and even the soil was flung aloft.

Just as the whip was about to hit the barrier in front of Celestial Plum Sect, another whip shot out from the sect’s gate, entangling itself with Hua Zhiyu’s attack.

Finally, Qiao Jingyao took action.

With a twist of her wrist, her whip vibrated, and the two whips became completely entwined, like two snakes coiling around each other.

Hua Zhiyu suddenly looked up toward the mountain gate of the Celestial Plum Sect.

“Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection?

Who isn’t at that level?

Let’s see what sort of techniques you have, you Ten Different Phenomena Golden Core cultivator of the Eastern Wasteland.”

She scoffed, and her teal whip blossomed with vivid flowers.

Some were blood-red, as if condensed from fresh blood, some were pure white without a speck of dirt, and others were blue like gathered Frost…

Light beamed from each flower, not towards the barrier, but directly at Qiao Jingyao’s whip.

With so many powerful cultivators present, it would be a simple task to breach a mountain gate guarded by only two people.

She didn’t need to worry about how to break through the gate.

Especially since her opponent was a cultivator of the Wood Attribute, she was interested in asserting who was stronger between the two of them.

As these flowers barely surfaced, suddenly, a plum blossom appeared on her opponent’s whip.

It was a single plum blossom, yet in that moment, it seemed to draw in all the Spiritual Energy, the vitality of the surroundings, and the life force from nearby.

The dazzling sparks on her whip withered away.

The force that radiated from the flowers dissipated.

A look of alarm crossed Hua Zhiyu’s usually composed face.

What Divine Skill was this, that a single plum blossom could shatter all her powers?

Qiao Jingyao, her face cold, remembered her loss to Cao Zhen during the Heavenly Combat Convention of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty due to the inferiority of her Divine Skills.

The Grand Preceptor later taught her some Divine Skills, but they were limited.

Frankly, she still lacked enough skills, and when facing an equal opponent, she would find herself at a disadvantage.

It was not until her sect, the Celestial Plum Sect, was destroyed by the Demon Sect, and she left, filled with wrath and sorrow, that inside her, a plum blossom took root.

She finally understood why their sect was called Celestial Plum Sect.

That plum blossom was no ordinary flower; it signified heritage, contained within it Cultivation Techniques, layers upon layers of legacy.

Had it not been for the legacy of the Celestial Plum, even with her top-notch Immortal Body, she might never have achieved the Perfect Completion Golden Core.

After shattering her opponent’s attack, her movements did not halt.

Behind her, the mana around her Golden Core surged endlessly, and her aura climbed higher.

Suddenly, she yanked her whip fiercely.

Shockingly, Hua Zhiyu felt a terrifying force transmitted through her whip, so overwhelming that she lost control of her body and was involuntarily pulled toward her opponent.

Her face, not strikingly beautiful but fair, was now etched with profound horror and bewilderment.
