My Master Knows It All

Chapter 2122: Chapter 453:

There are some people who have indeed stayed for a hundred years, but during these hundred years, they haven’t visited our human’s great city, and we have no trace of their activities.

No one knows if they were really fighting outside, or if they found a place on the Outer Heaven Battlefield and hid for a hundred years cultivating.”

“We must change the conditions for leaving the Outer Heaven Battlefield.”

Cao Zhen flew all the way to Broken Chaos City.

Normally, cultivators wouldn’t choose to fly, but the problem is he is alone, and his cultivation has reached a height of over five thousand zhang. So, even if he flies, what of it? There are few experts who can truly threaten him, and what’s more, he’s fast.

“Finally back to Broken Chaos City.”

Cao Zhen flew back all the way, and when he saw the city gate before him, a look of emotion appeared on his face. He had been here for a hundred years, and this was only the second time he had returned to Broken Chaos City.

As he walked to the city gate, he found that there were far fewer people in the city than when he first came. It seemed it was because of the large recruitment of people entering the Outer Heaven Battlefield back then.

As he approached the entrance, the guards on either side stopped him.

“Fellow Daoist, please show your Jade Talisman.”

Jade Talisman…

Cao Zhen then remembered that when he initially entered the city, someone had given him a jade pendant, which could display his location and even call for aid from the human clan.

However, for more than a hundred years, he had been in the Miasma Valley, where the humans were far too few, and he had never seen anyone asking for aid.

He quickly took out his jade pendant and handed it to them, but instead of taking it, the two men watched as a light shot from a Copper Mirror hanging above the city gate, landing on another mirror, which then displayed a white light.

The two guards, upon seeing this white light, immediately looked at him with changed expressions, filled with disdain: “Please wait here for a moment.”

Cao Zhen was stunned: “What? Not letting me enter the city?”

He hadn’t done anything to deserve this treatment, especially when he had just seen others walk into the city.

“You’ll know soon enough,” one guard replied, not addressing Cao Zhen further.

A moment later, a figure flew out from the city and came to stand before Cao Zhen.

Seeing the approaching figure, Cao Zhen was surprised. This person looked thin and was wearing a gaudy robe, like someone performing in an opera. Yet, the aura they emanated was much stronger than his.

True Immortal Realm!

This was the True Immortal Realm protecting the city!

Cao Zhen couldn’t figure out why, just returning to a city, a True Immortal Realm would appear.

At the gate, the guards respectfully addressed the newcomer: “True Lord Chun Yi.”

Chun Yi?

Looking at the person’s colorful clothes, Cao Zhen couldn’t help but think perhaps they should be called “True Lord Five Colors” instead of True Lord Chun Yi.

True Lord Chun Yi looked at the cultivator before him, his eyes slightly squinting, wearing a smile that made one think of a sly grin, and asked, “What’s your name?”

“Cao Zhen,” he answered truthfully, as there was no need to hide his name outside the city’s human territory.

True Lord Chun Yi showed a hint of surprise. Generally, after cultivators reach the Immortality Regainment Realm, they have honorific titles. It’s rare for someone still using their real name.

Though curious, he didn’t ask further, instead sporting a strange smile, “You’ve been in the Outer Heaven Battlefield for a hundred years, haven’t you? But there’s no record on your jade pendant.

You must have found somewhere to cultivate for a hundred years and now that time’s up, you’re ready to leave the Outer Heaven Battlefield.

That’s not acceptable. You were sent to the Outer Heaven Battlefield to kill the alien races, not for cultivation.

So, you’re not allowed to leave. You need to do something before you’re allowed to leave the Outer Heaven Battlefield.”

“No record?” Cao Zhen couldn’t understand. He had slain so many alien races in the Miasma Valley, yet they said there was no record. “Is it possible that there’s a problem with your jade pendant? I’ve been slaughtering alien races all along. Or perhaps, when your jade pendant gets too far away, like deep into the Outer Heaven Battlefield, it loses effectiveness?”

True Lord Chun Yi’s face still bore that strange smile, like a teacher caught a cheating student, looking at Cao Zhen, “There’s no need to pretend. We’ve recently discovered several people doing the same, not fighting at the Outer Heaven Battlefield but finding places to cultivate. They also realized that the range of our jade pendants is limited. Beyond a certain distance, within the bounds of other city jurisdictions, the jade pendant becomes ineffective, and they claim they went far away to cultivate.

But, in the end, they all confessed. Do you know why? Because if you go elsewhere, our Broken Chaos City jade pendant may malfunction, but what you were doing, we can verify with your jade pendant by taking it to the nearest large human city.

If you claim to have slaughtered alien races in a distant place, we can use your jade pendant for verification. But as stated, if we find out that you’re deceiving us…
