My Master Knows It All

1101: Chapter 284_7 1101: Chapter 284_7 He asked with full curiosity, “Forgive my limited knowledge, but I do not know where the Hundred Peaks Sect comes from.

Is it an Immortal Sect that uses musical rhythm to enter the Dao?”

Cao Zhen gently shook his head and said, “It’s normal not to have heard about our remote Hundred Peaks Sect, and no, our sect does not follow the path of musical rhythm to enter the Dao.

My expertise in playing the zhu is just a unique tradition of our own peak.”

He was fed up.

He had mentioned it offhandedly; why did the other party keep asking endless questions?

If he had known this would happen, he would have claimed to be a Loose Cultivator.

“I see,” said Wu Se, glancing inadvertently at another person, only to realize that he had forgotten the other zhu player.

He quickly spoke to him, “Dao Companion, your zhu playing is indeed superb, but this time, our Five Sounds Sect wishes to collaborate with Dao Companion Cao.

We hope you can understand.”

He thought he had been quite polite.

When contrasted, everyone would know who should be chosen.

“Understand, understand.”

While the man responded, he quietly asked the one who had just been playing the flute, “Elder Brother, what do we do now?

This guy suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and I can’t enter the Cloud Reaching Sect with you anymore.

What about our plan?”

“Elder Brother, for now, you should leave.

I will have to enter the Cloud Reaching Sect with them alone.

Then, Elder Brother, with your Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection cultivation, enter Cloud Reaching Sect.

Once inside, we’ll find a way to reunite,” responded the one called the flute guest through a secret voice transmission.

The flute guest harbored deep resentment in his heart.

They had gone through so much trouble and invested heavily.

Just as their plan was about to succeed, this person appeared out of nowhere.

He did have a way to get his Elder Brother into the Cloud Reaching Sect with him.

For example, he could tell the others that he only worked with his Elder Brother, and if they insisted on the newcomer, he would refuse.

Since they wouldn’t be able to find another suitable flute player, they would definitely agree to his terms.

But he and his Elder Brother had concealed their acquaintance as a part of their disguise.

If he suddenly made such a statement, others would doubt their intentions.

People in the Cloud Reaching Sect were not fools; they would become more vigilant towards him and his Elder Brother.

Then he would not be able to help the Great Elder Brother even if he wanted to.

Then what would have been the point of going through all that trouble earlier?

It would be better just to enter the Cloud Reaching Sect with the great cultivation of the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection directly.

Damn it, how could such a person have emerged unexpectedly?

The flute guest paused briefly, then continued through the secret voice transmission, “However, luckily, once you, Elder Brother, enter the Cloud Reaching Sect, you can deliberately cause some disturbances to draw the attention of the people there.

Just remember not to go too far.

In reality, both of us are just supporting our Great Elder Brother.

The most important individual in our plan is the Great Elder Brother.

As long as he overcomes the Sky-reaching Formation and gains entry to the Cloud Reaching Sect as an honored guest…

Even if you, Elder Brother, can’t join me, our plan can still proceed, although it will be much less effective.”

The flute guest glared at the man who called himself Cao Zhen, aware that if their plan succeeded, there would be a great reward.

He knew that with the death of the Four Snow Mountain Friends and even the four disciples capable of replacing them, people in Cloud Reaching Sect would definitely be suspicious and might pay attention to him.

But they were just a smokescreen.

The real trump card was their Great Elder Brother.

Even if the sect members were to become vigilant or even monitor him, their plan could still succeed.

However, without his Elder Brother’s cooperation, the effectiveness of a successful plan would nearly halve!

As soon as the secret conversation with his Elder Brother ended, Wu Se’s voice reached them from nearby.

“The two of you are indeed masters of musical rhythm, but we also need to coordinate between us.

Moreover, it’s not just the four of us.

We have others who will assist in the performance.

So how about we enter Cloud Reaching Sect first to practice a bit?”

“Sure.” The flute guest immediately showed a smile on his face, hiding any trace of abnormality.

Cao Zhen followed the flute guest toward the interior of the Cloud Reaching Sect.

After arriving in the Eastern Province, he felt the abundance and purity of the spiritual energy.

However, upon entering the Cloud Reaching Sect, he discovered that the spiritual energy outside was much inferior to that within the sect.

He even wondered if disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect were to cultivate in such an environment, whether half of the ones who had not reached the Golden Core Stage could make it to that level!

“The spiritual energy here is truly abundant, and so pure!”

“So this is what a Great Teaching is like!”

Not long after Cao Zhen had left, Elder Blue made her appearance, accompanied by two disciples from the Cloud Reaching Sect.

“You two, one of you guard the mountain gate and see if that person who failed the musical challenge will enter our Cloud Reaching Sect.

If he does, follow him immediately.”

“The other one, go and investigate that flute-playing guest and Cao Zhen immediately.

Find out if anyone knows of this flute-playing loose cultivator, and investigate where the guest from the Hundred Peaks Sect came from.”

“Yes!”

The two disciples quickly vanished from sight.

Since the Five Sounds Sect was coming to perform, the Cloud Reaching Sect had specifically prepared a place for them; after Cao Zhen entered the Cloud Reaching Sect, he was led by members of the Five Sounds Sect towards their designated courtyard.

The grand martial arts event of the Cloud Reaching Sect, although scheduled for tomorrow, was accessible as of today.

Many from different Immortal Sects, upon receiving an invitation, continuously entered the Cloud Reaching Sect.

Ling Xi and the others, along with a team, also arrived at the mountain gate of the Cloud Reaching Sect.

Because they did not know the exact location of the Cloud Reaching Sect, and with the Four Sons of Snow Mountain dead, they ended up taking a longer route due to their lack of direction.

Fortunately, they ran into another group on the way, who was also heading to the Cloud Reaching Sect’s event, and they followed them there.

As for why the others led them here, Bei Yan seriously suspected it was because the other party saw that their group had too many beautiful women.

The cultivators from the other party kept flirting with Senior Sister Ling Xi and Little Duo Duo along the way.

Zhu Peng almost ended up fighting them because of this.

Sometimes, he really couldn’t figure out whether Zhu Peng was genuinely naive or just pretending.

To call Zhu Peng naive—this kid actually knew better than to let any male outside of Four Treasures Peak interact too closely with their female disciples.

Especially with Little Duo Duo, he felt that Zhu Peng already treated her as if she were his wife-to-be.

However, he had noticed before that Zhu Peng seemed to have some ambiguous feelings with Liao Youdi from Azure Pheasant Peak.

Was he aiming for a ménage à trois?

Was he having his cake and eating it too?

Was this something a naive person would do?

Luckily, they had finally reached their destination; otherwise, he feared that if they continued on for a while longer, Zhu Peng might explode at any moment and start a fight.

“So many people?” Bei Yan looked towards the mountain gate of the Cloud Reaching Sect and was surprised to find it filled with crowds.

Many were heading towards the mountain gate itself, but even more people were gathered in another spot.

“What are they all gathered over there for?

Why aren’t they entering the Cloud Reaching Sect?

What is that place?”

A bystander, upon hearing his mutterings, promptly advised, “That place is where the Sky-reaching Formation is.

Naturally, everyone is gathered outside the Sky-reaching Formation, waiting for it to open so they can go in and attempt the challenge.”

On the journey, Bei Yan had also heard about the Sky-reaching Formation from the group of immortals they traveled with, but he found it strange, “Isn’t the Sky-reaching Formation supposed to open as soon as there’s a sufficient number of people?

Why isn’t it open yet?”
