My Master Knows It All

Capítulo 1959: Chapter 426:

The spiritual energy of the Central Continent Sect is more abundant compared to the Eastern Province Grand Sect, and the spiritual energy of the Eastern Province Grand Sect is even more abundant than that of the Eastern Wasteland Sect.

However, the spiritual energy here is not any weaker than that of our Extreme Formation Sect. The Heavenly Dao would never allow a grand sect’s spiritual energy to be so abundant.”

“And then?” Immortal Lord Jue Zhen asked with concern, as she was the closest to the Supreme Elder among the group.

“Then? There is no ‘then’!”

“No ‘then’? Immortal Lord Jue Zhen was taken aback.

“Isn’t this alone enough?” Supreme Elder Zheng glared fiercely at Immortal Lord Jue Zhen, then leaned back against the chair without speaking further.

“Ahem…” Seeing that everyone fell silent, the Sect Hierarch of Extreme Formation coughed and spoke, “Everyone, although the Hundred Peaks Sect hasn’t asked us for any benefits, I feel somewhat uneasy about this.

After all, we entered their grand sect, and with so many of us cultivating, their sect’s disciples will be affected when they absorb spiritual energy.

As for other impacts, they need not be mentioned more, so I think we should compensate them. Should we offer them some resources?”

“Give resources? Absolutely not!” Among the five, the rotund, middle-aged man with ruddy cheeks immediately shook his head upon hearing this, “Brother, you saw how resentful those people at the Hundred Peaks Sect were. When they ask others for resources, they take all the herbs from the treasury.

If we proactively approach them saying we’ll give them resources, how can they not make exorbitant demands? I even feel they intentionally say they need benefits, and then wait for us to feel embarrassed and proactively offer them benefits, so they can ask for something harsh again.

If we have already offered benefits, how could we refuse when others make a request? So the best approach is to give them nothing at all.”

“This is unsuitable.” Among the five, a cultivator with a folding fan gently opened the fan and spoke while fanning, “We should show some gesture at least, but we need not give them resources. Our Extreme Formation Sect excels in formations; we could help them set up a great formation.

First, the Mountain Protection Array must be properly arranged, as we don’t know how long we’ll be staying here.

This Hundred Peaks Sect cannot be hidden away, which is truly unsuitable. Moreover, no one knows when the six alien races will attack the Eastern Wasteland, or invade us here.

Nor do we know when we might encounter attacks from other forces, so it’s necessary for us to arrange the Mountain Protection Array. This should not raise any objection, should it?”

“Xuan Zhen’s reasoning is sound.” The plump cultivator nodded quickly, analyzing, “This results in a win-win situation; we are safer, and naturally, so is the Hundred Peaks Sect.

Moreover, when the day comes for us to leave and we dismantle the formation, it would be impossible to remove all the resources used for the formations; some will remain, which would then be left for the Hundred Peaks Sect. Thus, it counts as resources we’ve gifted them.”

Xuan Zhen nodded slightly and continued, “But only having the Mountain Protection Array isn’t sufficient; we should arrange more formations in the Hundred Peaks Sect. Especially the Spirit Gathering Array, as the spiritual energy of the Hundred Peaks Sect is somewhat dispersed, flowing all over.

With the Spirit Gathering Array set up, the spiritual energy will concentrate more in the Hundred Peaks Sect; it benefits both us and the Hundred Peaks Sect in this manner.

We shouldn’t need to do more beyond these, I presume?”

With that, he looked towards the Sect Hierarch of Extreme Formation and the Supreme Elder.

Before the Sect Hierarch could speak, the Supreme Elder opened his eyes and spoke softly, “Let it be this way.”

Saying that, she stepped out of the Conference Hall, pausing slightly at the doorway to say solemnly, “Extreme Formation, Absolute-Formation, you two have been at your current realm for far too long.

This old woman doesn’t have much time left; in the future, the Extreme Formation Sect will completely rely on you.”

Inside the Conference Hall, everyone’s expression instantly turned heavy. The strongest person among them wasn’t the current Sect Hierarch, Extreme Formation, but their Supreme Elder.

However, the Supreme Elder is very old. Even though she exists in the True Immortal Realm, she cannot have eternal life.

The Supreme Elder isn’t so aged that she cannot fight, that as soon as she fights, it brings about the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, or the Heavenly Tribulation. But they also know that the Supreme Elder is nearing her limit.

If the Supreme Elder is no longer there, the Extreme Formation Sect would lack a truly top-tier combat strength, a presence at the Peak True Immortal Realm!

The Sect Hierarch of Extreme Formation and Immortal Lord Jue Zhen exchanged a glance and immediately assured, “Sect Leader, we understand. After our sect stabilizes completely, we will enter closed-door cultivation and achieve our breakthroughs as soon as possible.”

“Closed-door cultivation?” The Supreme Elder heard this, shook her head, and sighed, “If closed-door cultivation could make you breakthrough, you would have done so long ago. Have you not undergone numerous closed-door training sessions, even life-or-death ones before?

I have said many times, the path of cultivation isn’t solely about shutting oneself away and cultivating; only then can one achieve breakthroughs. You need to immerse yourselves in the world of men.
