My Master Knows It All

Chapter 1454: Chapter 343_5

Cao Zhen was speechless. Why do these people enjoy self-destructing their Golden Cores for no reason? He led his two disciples and Little Yin back to the Hundred Peaks Sect.

On the way, he felt that his current cultivation base was still too weak. The main reason was that the Eastern Province was simply too vast, and traveling back and forth truly wasted time. If he could cultivate to the Earth Immortal Realm, then traveling would be faster, and he wouldn’t waste so much time on the road as he did now.

He reckoned that he had been away from the Hundred Peaks Sect for quite a while this time.

Returning to the Eastern Wasteland once again, he could clearly feel that it was more devastated than before. After all, there had been several invasions by the Demon Sect from Eastern Province, causing significant damage to the Eastern Wasteland.

However, the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, especially the area where their Hundred Peaks Sect was located, suffered relatively less impact.

Although Cao Zhen always acted as a hands-off shopkeeper, letting Nie Jie handle everything, upon returning to the Hundred Peaks Sect, there were still many decisions he needed to make.

“What’s the first one hundred and first peak?”

Before Cao Zhen returned to Four Treasures Peak, he was intercepted by Nie Jie.

“So, after Qiao Jingyao experienced so many events, she feels that her current strength is not enough to become the sect leader of her sect. So, she wants to integrate their Celestial Plum Sect into our Hundred Peaks Sect?”

Listening to Nie Jie’s words, Cao Zhen quickly understood and curiously asked, “Qiao Jingyao has maintained a good relationship with our Hundred Peaks Sect, and she has helped us fight several times before. It seems joining our Hundred Peaks Sect shouldn’t be a problem. But this one hundred and first peak, would it still be called the Hundred Peaks Sect? Is there any historical precedent in our Hundred Peaks Sect?”

“Yes, there is.” Nie Jie, having prepared for this, immediately replied upon hearing the question, “Our Hundred Peaks Sect once had a similar situation. At that time, there was a sect called the Solution Fire Sect. The sect leader of the Solution Fire Sect had a sworn bond with the Peak Master of our Hundred Peaks Sect’s Azure Pheasant Peak.

Later, when the Solution Fire Sect faced a great calamity, the sect leader brought some disciples and came to seek refuge at our Hundred Peaks Sect. Initially, they took shelter with us at the Hundred Peaks Sect. We even allocated them a separate peak, naming it the Solution Fire Peak.

However, the sect leader of the Solution Fire Sect refused. He said they were merely seeking refuge and would consider themselves part of the Hundred Peaks Sect. But they stated that once they felt they were strong enough, they hoped to leave the Hundred Peaks Sect and rebuild the Solution Fire Sect.

Our sect leader at the time agreed, and then…”

Cao Zhen, immediately piqued by curiosity, asked, “And then what happened?”

“Then, the people from Solution Fire Sect gradually took root in our Hundred Peaks Sect, and then… as time went by, after the Peak Master of Azure Pheasant Peak and several experts from our Hundred Peaks Sect helped them exact revenge, a few years later, the major calamity we faced was the battle between our large sects and the Qi Tian Dynasty.

During that battle, many from the Solution Fire Peak died. The remaining people felt they were no longer suited to establish a sect, and much of their heritage was lost. Eventually, all the people of the Solution Fire Sect joined Azure Pheasant Peak.”

Nie Jie paused for a moment before continuing, “Although the Solution Fire Sect did not establish a separate peak at that time, the sect leader said they could become the one hundred and first peak; they just didn’t agree.”

So there is a precedent to follow.”

Cao Zhen shook his head with a smile and said, “Since there is a precedent, just agree to it directly without bothering me.”

Nie Jie frowned and said, “But Yi Sheng also mentioned that when the time is right, she intends to leave the Hundred Peaks Sect. We…”

“Do you think they will consume our Hundred Peaks Sect’s resources? It’s just some resources, let them take them. Besides, Qiao Jingyao’s strength is not weak, and she herself will obtain some resources. Even if she leaves our Hundred Peaks Sect in the future, they won’t forget the kindness of the Hundred Peaks Sect. Just consider them as the one hundred and first peak, exactly the same as the other peaks.”

Cao Zhen quickly made his decision. It’s just a bit of resources, after all. Nie Jie didn’t know the extent of his gains this time. Moreover, the harvest Xiang Ziyu got is likely even greater than his, as Xiang Ziyu directly took all the treasures from a True Immortal’s grave.

The treasures used by a True Immortal cannot be used for the most part during the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth period. After Cao Zhen returned to Four Treasures Peak, he merely asked briefly and didn’t look into what treasures exactly. Those must be researched after the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth ends.

Since the connection between the Eastern Wasteland and Eastern Province started from Cao Zhen’s Four Treasures Peak, the disciples of Four Treasures Peak have all been busy for quite some time and haven’t gathered together so neatly for a long time.

With Cao Zhen’s return, the disciples of Four Treasures Peak finally assembled.

Many Enemies looked at his senior brothers and sisters one by one, feeling more secure in his heart.

Previously, he heard from the fifth senior sister that among their senior brothers and sisters at Four Treasures Peak, two were on the verge of breaking through to the Golden Core Period Limit.

Now, back at Four Treasures Peak, he knows that the second senior sister has already broken through to the Golden Core Period Limit, and his sixth senior sister is about to reach the Golden Core Period Limit as well.
