My Master Knows It All

1312: Chapter 320 1312: Chapter 320 Cao Zhen had experienced numerous Heavenly Tribulations, both his own and those of others.

However, he had never encountered such a peculiar celestial catastrophe.

After he refined the Unparalleled Formation Plate once again, he could distinctly feel the terrifying oppressive force emanating from the gathering tribulation clouds in the void.

Yet just as the tribulation clouds amassed and veiled the entire expanse of the sky, they suddenly dispersed.

“Dispersed?”

“What’s happening?”

“Wasn’t the Heavenly Tribulation about to occur?

Why did it suddenly vanish?”

“I’ve never heard of such an event.

Can the Heavenly Tribulation appear and then disappear?”

“Is it over just like that?”

For a moment, everyone around Cao Zhen was dumbstruck, including the people from the Hundred Peaks Sect, Jiu Yin, and Immortal Bi Yue, all utterly baffled.

Refining treasures that trigger a Heavenly Tribulation proves that the artifact challenges the heavens.

However, the tribulation came, did not even begin to descend, and then disappeared—what circumstance was this?

Among the Dragon Chant Sect’s attendees, someone speculated in whispers, “Could it be the Heavenly Tribulation realized that the array plate Cao Zhen refined hadn’t reached that level, so it decided not to descend?”

“That’s unlikely, isn’t it?

When has the Heavenly Dao ever made such a mistake?”

“Then what’s the reason?”

“I really can’t figure it out.”

The crowd looked toward Cao Zhen, hoping he could provide an explanation.

But Cao Zhen was just as confounded.

It was the first time he had faced this situation, and he also didn’t know the reason.

Moreover, this scenario was not mentioned in the theories of immortal cultivation by either Zhang Daoling or True Person Yu Ding.

Though he did not know why the Heavenly Tribulation failed to descend, he was certain about one thing.

Ling Xi was now extremely strong and terrifyingly powerful.

In the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, the strongest combat power was at the Golden Core Period Limit—an apex that everyone could only strive to reach.

Ling Xi was naturally also at this threshold, unable to surpass it.

However, after employing the Unparalleled Formation Plate, Ling Xi could restrain her opponent, preventing them from reaching the limit of the Golden Core Stage.

Furthermore, this newly refined Unparalleled Formation Plate was even more restraining against Golden Core experts and more difficult to break.

It could even be said that at Ling Xi’s Golden Core Period Limit cultivation base, if she hadn’t used the Unparalleled Formation Plate to trap Tido’s people, her formation would be unbreakable.

Cao Zhen didn’t know how to explain to everyone why the Heavenly Tribulation did not descend.

He could only turn to Ling Xi, pass her the array plate, and say, “All right, the formation plate is refined.

Ling Xi, take the formation plate first, then familiarize yourself with it slowly.

The changes to the plate are not significant; it’s just that its power is stronger than before, and it’s harder to break.”

After handing over the formation plate to his own disciple, Cao Zhen looked to the crowd and said, “Gentlemen, we are all aware of the situation with the Qi Tian Dynasty.

When the Qi Tian Dynasty existed, our Eastern Wasteland would always see Earth Immortal Realm masters mysteriously die, and the people of the Qi Tian Dynasty, especially those from the Heaven Prayers Sect, must have been refining some demonic technique.

But we stopped them, and when they tried to revive, we, the Hundred Peaks Sect, blocked them again.

Now they are undergoing their Sect Tribulation and have no time to pay attention to us, but if they overcome their Sect Tribulation, they will surely retaliate against our Hundred Peaks Sect.

Being a Great Teaching, the opponent is not necessarily something our Hundred Peaks Sect can resist when it comes to retaliation.

Therefore, the best method is to make the opponent disappear completely.

And the best way to do that is to directly seize the treasures from the relics left by the Heavenly Dao for the Void Breaking Sect as soon as they appear.

We don’t know how much longer it will be until the relics emerge, nor the exact location where they will appear, but it’s likely that the relics are not far from the Heaven Prayers Sect.

Thus, I have decided to depart now and head for the relics.”

Having said this, he turned to Nie Jie and said, “Nie Jie, the Hundred Peaks Sect will be in your hands during my absence.”

Nie Jie was truly helpless.

Although Cao Zhen was the Sect Leader of the Hundred Peaks Sect, he had scarcely spent much time there.

Whenever he did return, it was always a hurried visit before he left again.

But he also understood that as Cao Zhen said, the Heaven Prayers Sect would undoubtedly seek revenge against the Hundred Peaks Sect, and he knew Cao Zhen’s approach was the best course of action.

He nodded firmly and said, “Don’t worry, Sect Leader, I will take good care of the Hundred Peaks Sect.”

Cao Zhen nodded slightly, having no particular concerns about Nie Jie.

Then he turned to Ling Xi and said, “Ling Xi, you assist Vice Sect Master Nie Jie in protecting the Hundred Peaks Sect.

During my absence, try to limit our disciples from going out as much as possible.

And Jing Yao, although the demon sects of the Eastern Wasteland have mostly withdrawn from our lands, the Eastern Wasteland has not yet fully settled down.

So, don’t be in a hurry to leave the Hundred Peaks Sect for now.

Stay with us for a while longer, and then you can leave.”

Cao Zhen reiterated his instructions to the crowd and then left with Xiang Ziyu.

As he and Xiang Ziyu departed, naturally Immortal Bi Yue and Jiu Yin also followed, and the members of the Dragon Chant Sect led by Yu Long likewise departed.

From a distance, as they watched Cao Zhen and the others leave, Yan Yourong immediately turned to her senior sister and said, “Senior sister, didn’t you just obtain a formation plate?

Come on, let’s spar so I can see how powerful your formation plate really is.”
