My Master Knows It All

Capítulo 2004: Chapter 433: Part 6

“Does his understanding of formations really surpass that of the entire Extreme Formation Sect?”

The Star Lord Hao Yue and others were momentarily stunned by Immortal Lord Jue Zhen’s words. They had already witnessed Cao Zhen’s mastery of the six arts many times before and thought they estimated his abilities very highly. Yet, Cao Zhen, time and again, with his actions, showed them that they had still underestimated him.

Now, even Immortal Lord Jue Zhen could achieve enlightenment because of Cao Zhen.

“Could Cao Zhen’s formations be as terrifying as his alchemy?”

Many recalled how they once discussed the Dao with such a person… Cao Zhen didn’t find their level insignificant and still conversed in Dao with them.

Cao Zhen, sensing the gaze of the crowd, waved his hand nonchalantly and said, “It was a coincidence; I just happen to understand a tiny bit of the path Jue Zhen is walking.”

The crowd was instantly speechless. “Just happen to understand a tiny bit?” Are you calling the path to reach the late True Immortal Realm a mere coincidence?

Seeing that the crowd still looked dumbstruck in the void, Cao Zhen had to speak up: “Everyone, I came here this time simply to see the outside world, to observe the major sects, and I’m wondering if it might be convenient for you?”

The first to recover was Star Lord Hao Yue, who said, “Without you, our major sects might have long been destroyed, let alone the founding of the Eastern Wilderness Sect. By all means, explore our Eastern Wilderness Sect as you please.”

All around, the high officials of the Eastern Wilderness Sect had no objections. Indeed, Cao Zhen and the Hundred Peaks Sect had helped them a lot. The techniques Cao Zhen had taught were still being passed down to their disciples, so they couldn’t possibly refuse such a request.

Cao Zhen looked toward the direction of the Beast Taming Sect. He knew that the people of the Eastern Wilderness Sect could not refuse, so his question was mainly directed at the Beast Taming Sect.

The Beast Taming Sect Leader nodded slightly and said, “We would certainly welcome Sect Leader Cao to take a look.”

It was just a visit to their Great Sect; this was nothing major, especially after knowing that Immortal Lord Jue Zhen achieved enlightenment because of Cao Zhen. After his breakthrough, he naturally wanted to maintain good relations.

Moreover, he had heard that when the Eastern Wilderness Sect had to choose between the Beast Taming Sect and the Pure Moon Sect, the Hundred Peaks Sect had helped convince them in favor of the Beast Taming Sect, so they owed them a favor.

However…

The Beast Taming Sect Leader thought before adding, “But the back mountain is somewhat inconvenient. It’s not that we don’t want Sect Leader Cao to go; it’s just our Sect Guardian Beast resides there. Ever since our old Sect Leader passed away, it has become quite irritable and volatile.

Especially after coming to the Eastern Wilderness, its temper has worsened.

It’s not just outsiders; even our Beast Taming Sect disciples, and the strange beasts we tame, dare not venture to the back mountain.

There are times when it knows it gets easily enraged, but it says it just can’t control itself.

So, Sect Leader Cao, you may visit any place except the back mountain.”

In fact, they were among the first batch to migrate from the Central Continent to the four continents. Although they weren’t the farthest from the Eastern Wilderness, the journey was delayed due to the troubles caused by their Sect Guardian Beast.

After arriving in the Eastern Wilderness, its bouts of rage were more frequent than when in the Central Continent.

Out of the twelve hours a day, it was angry for about eight hours.

Apart from him and the Supreme Elder, no one else dared go there. When the Sect Guardian Beast was enraged, it would attack anyone, and even the Grand Elder had been attacked.

Cao Zhen heard this and was slightly taken aback, instinctively saying, “Becoming more irritable? Isn’t this typical acclimatization issues?”

Around him, members of the Beast Taming Sect looked at Cao Zhen with peculiar expressions, some even turning away, afraid they might burst out laughing.

Indeed, Cao Zhen was a reincarnated expert, and he even helped Immortal Lord Jue Zhen break through, proving his deep understanding of formations.

However, the Beast Taming Dao and the Formation Dao have no connection.

“Acclimatization issues!”

Truly, some strange beasts might experience acclimatization issues, but once they reach the Earth Immortal Realm, such issues don’t occur, let alone for a Protector Beast of that kind!

“Ahem…”

Among the Beast Taming Sect’s late True Immortal masters, someone couldn’t help but cough, laughing as they explained, “Sect Leader Cao, our Sect Guardian Beast is an exceptionally powerful existence, comparable to a half-step Golden Immortal! It’s too powerful to experience acclimatization issues.”

A being on par with a half-step Golden Immortal?

Cao Zhen marveled at the strength of a great sect from the Central Continent. Even the entire Extreme Formation Sect had no such beings.

Nevertheless, the formations of the Extreme Formation Sect are stronger; no clear assertion of superiority between the two sects can be made.

He slightly shook his head, saying, “Not only strange beasts comparable to half-step Golden Immortals, even those comparable to Golden Immortals could experience acclimatization issues.”

“Impossible!” The other party shook their head in response, “Sect Leader Cao, you are indeed a reincarnated expert, and I’ve heard about your prowess in alchemy and formations. However, the Beast Taming Dao has nothing to do with Alchemy Dao.

Most pills in Alchemy Dao are tailored for human cultivators, and many pills have no effect when used on strange beasts. Similarly, many of our human medical techniques don’t work on strange beasts either.

Acclimatization issues frequently occur among mortals, but once a cultivator reaches the Earth Immortal Realm, such problems don’t occur, and the same goes for strange beasts.

As for strange beasts comparable to the Golden Immortal Realm, it’s even more impossible; their physical bodies are too formidable! Sect Leader Cao, perhaps you haven’t interacted with strange beasts of the Golden Immortal Realm.”

Cao Zhen responded without hesitation: “Haven’t interacted with them? Never contacted Golden Immortal Realm beasts? Let alone contacting, I’ve even ridden strange beasts of the Golden Immortal Realm.”
