My Master Knows It All

Chapter 1611: Chapter 369: The Sect Master’s Decision

“Indeed, Sect Leader, we absolutely cannot miss that relic.”

Cao Zhen nodded slightly, but his tone was unusually stiff: “The relic has just appeared. What are you going there for? Such relics take a long time to open. What use is there in going now? Waiting outside the relic, wasting time for nothing? With this time, why not strive to cultivate?”

Saying this, he pointed to the group of young disciples in the distance and raised his voice: “And you, what are you, all in the Golden Core Stage, and some even in the Core Formation Stage, going to the relic for? To throw your lives away?”

“Sect Leader, we are not afraid of death!”

“Yes, Sect Leader, we are also disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect, and we want to contribute to the Hundred Peaks Sect as well. Our cultivation base is limited, and by the time sect tribulation comes, we might be of no use. So, we might as well go into the relic.

In the relic, it’s not just strength that determines if you can obtain treasures. This relic is a chance given to our Hundred Peaks Sect by the Heavenly Dao, so the treasures within must be related to our Hundred Peaks Sect. Therefore, if we enter the relic, we might bring back some treasures and contribute to the Hundred Peaks Sect in this way.”

“Yes, Sect Leader, we also know we’ve been impulsive. Since the relic won’t be open now, we’ll go when it opens.”

Cao Zhen looked at those young faces, and a surge of warmth crossed his heart. These are the disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect!

“You are all good disciples of our Hundred Peaks Sect, and I am proud of the Hundred Peaks Sect because of you,” Cao Zhen said, his expression suddenly turning cold, “Do you think you are great, that what you’re doing is meaningful?

Foolish, extremely foolish!

You are right, in the relics, it’s not just the strong who can acquire treasures. Our Hundred Peaks Sect indeed has an easier time getting treasures from them.

But does our Hundred Peaks Sect know this and think the other great teachings do not? Especially those from the Demonic Sect, do you know what actions they might take?

I have been to the relics twice before sect tribulation for great teachings.

I can tell you clearly, when others find you, they will want to eliminate you without fail.

Back then, whether it was the Musical Rhythm relic of the Five Sounds Sect or the relic of the Heaven Prayers Sect, it was the same. If others kill you, then our Hundred Peaks Sect people have to protect you. In the end, your masters, your uncles, your senior brothers and sisters might be killed because of you!

And have you ever thought that if you die in there, even if our Hundred Peaks Sect becomes a great teaching, so what? What about our future then?

What you need to do now is to cultivate well, take advantage of the celestial energy within our Hundred Peaks Sect, and train fanatically to elevate your cultivation bases.

Only by improving your cultivation can you help the Hundred Peaks Sect as soon as possible!”

After reprimanding these young disciples, Cao Zhen then looked towards those in the Earth Immortal Realm and said: “And you too, you don’t need to go this time.”

“What?”

“Sect Leader, we are in the Earth Immortal Realm, why are we not allowed to go!”

Upon hearing Cao Zhen’s words, the crowd was instantly unsettled.

“Sect Leader, if none of us go, how will we seize the treasures within the relic?”

“Yes, Sect Leader, that relic is the chance given to our Hundred Peaks Sect by the Heavenly Dao. It cannot be abandoned.”

Cao Zhen looked at the crowd, shook his head slightly, and said: “Who said I want to give up. Having helped the Five Sounds Sect through sect tribulation, I understand better than you how crucial the relics are to a great teaching about to undergo tribulation.”

The crowd heard this and became puzzled.

“Sect Leader, since this is the case, why don’t you let us go?”

Cao Zhen pointed to himself and said: “When the time comes, I will personally go. As for you, just focus on cultivating here. Like them, now what you need to do is to work hard to improve your cultivation bases.”

Upon hearing this, the crowd became anxious and began to shout loudly.

“Sect Leader? You personally want to go?”

“Sect Leader, we know you are strong, but going alone also carries dangers. What if others besiege you?”

“Yes, Sect Leader, we are not questioning you, but going alone means the chances of obtaining treasures from within the relic are much smaller.”

Cao Zhen shook his head slightly, pointing towards the direction of Four Treasures Peak, and said: “I am not going alone. When the time comes, I will take the disciples from Four Treasures Peak along to secure the treasures within the relic. Ultimately, they will belong to our Hundred Peaks Sect.

Back then, when I led the disciples to the relics of Five Sounds Sect and Heaven Prayers Sect, we didn’t even have as many disciples as we do now from Four Treasures Peak, yet the most important treasures within those relics all ended up in our hands. The relics of Four Treasures Peak would be no exception.

Moreover, our Hundred Peaks Sect relics must be related to our Hundred Peaks Sect. At that time, whether it’s music, chess, books, painting, or the Way of Dao, Confucianism, Buddhism, Sword Dao, Way of Blade Techniques… who in this world can compare with me?

Therefore, you don’t need to worry about the relic. What you need to focus on is cultivation. Take advantage of this time when there is celestial energy to improve your own strength so that you can help our Hundred Peaks Sect to the greatest extent!”

Cao Zhen knew that the more people from the Hundred Peaks Sect went into the relic, the higher the chance of obtaining the relic’s treasures. However, he truly couldn’t feel at ease letting the disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect enter the relics.

Just as he had said before, others also know that people from the Hundred Peaks Sect have an easier time acquiring the relics’ treasures, so others would certainly target the disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect. They do not want to see the disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect just die in the relic.

Moreover, the Hundred Peaks Sect still has some enemies; those from the great teachings wouldn’t want to see the Hundred Peaks Sect become a great teaching, such as the Bleeding Tears Demon Sect and the Soul Breaking Demonic Sect.

If they were to unite and join forces with some demonic sects’ powers to jointly kill the people of the Hundred Peaks Sect?

Back then, in the relics of the Heaven Prayers Sect, those from the great teachings always targeted, and mercilessly killed the disciples of the Heaven Prayers Sect, to ensure the failure of their tribulation.

Who knows if others would also do that!

So the best way is to let all the disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect, whether those in the Earth Immortal Realm or the Golden Core Stage, stay to cultivate.

And he would lead the disciples of Four Treasures Peak to the relic.

With the strength of the Four Treasures Peak disciples, even if others wanted to target them, they could not.

In fact, he could directly target those from the great teachings, such as preventing them from entering the relic!
