My Master Knows It All

He remembers there weren’t such regulations before.

It seems these rules have been added in the recent fifty years, perhaps to record identities and search for potential traitors.

He paid no mind and followed the crowd forward.

After all, there aren’t many people in the True Immortal Realm, there isn’t a long waiting line, and soon it was his turn.

He imitated the actions of the people in front, showing his jade pendant amidst the void light, then putting it away as he stepped forward. His jade pendant was genuine, so long as he didn’t take the wrong one, taking out the Immortality Regainment Realm’s pendant would pose no problem.

However, just as he took a step, a guard in front stretched out a hand, blocking his path solemnly, ”You cannot leave Sun Detritus City on your own.”

”I can’t leave? I saw everyone else leaving, why can’t I?” Cao Zhen’s face changed slightly upon hearing this. He didn’t take the wrong jade pendant, and this pendant was reissued in Sun Detritus City, so why was everyone able to leave but not him?

He carried an Earth Level Mid Grade treasure, his identity shouldn’t be revealed, right?

As he was stopped, several cultivators at the city gate turned their attention to him.

The guard who stopped Cao Zhen continued looking solemn, asking, ”Have you been in seclusion for a long time?”

”Yes, I’ve been in seclusion for fifty years, why do you ask?” Cao Zhen asked curiously, ”What happened in these fifty years?”

”Seclusion for fifty years, no wonder you don’t know.” The guard nodded slightly, ”In recent years, the targeting towards our Human Clan has intensified, so we’ve established new rules.

In the True Immortal Realm, unless you are in the Late True Immortal Realm or at the Peak True Immortal Realm, you are prohibited from leaving here alone without significant outside experience or records of eliminating alien races. And you have no such records.

Actually, this is for your own good, to prevent unnecessary sacrifices, hence the regulation.”

This...

Cao Zhen really didn’t know what to say. Whether in the Immortality Regainment Realm or Earth Immortal Realm, newcomers need to team up, but True Immortal Realm has few members; when newcomers arrive, they don’t need to follow the elders.

Now, it turns out, even True Immortal Realm has this rule.

”No, when I came here, I had outside exp...” Cao Zhen began but soon found himself at a loss, as he came from outside but didn’t have this jade pendant then. The pendant was recorded upon his arrival, and he was focusing on pill refining without any outside experience or records of eliminating alien races.

”So, let me ask, if I want to leave here, how can I do it? Is teaming up the only way?” He mentioned he couldn’t leave the city alone, so perhaps he could only leave with others.

”That’s correct, you just need to go to the battlefield, team up, and then you can leave Sun Detritus City.”

Cao Zhen, with the answer in mind, had no choice but to turn back towards the city center. Although he had been refining pills in Sun Detritus City, he knew the Human Clan’s presence on the Outer Heaven Battlefield, whether it’s the True Immortal Realm, Immortality Regainment Realm, or Earth Immortal Realm’s battlefield, every city had a battlefield!

He gradually learned that the current battlefield also serves to guide newcomers.

The battlefield he previously knew was mainly for teaming up.

Perhaps, you entered the Outer Heaven Battlefield with fellow sect members, but you couldn’t always stick together. Over time, some of your fellow members might die in the battlefield or return to the Little Thousand Worlds, leaving you with fewer allies and weaker strength.

Alongside some loose cultivators and small sects, with just one or two members entering the battlefield, their strength was insufficient.

Thus, the battlefield was created so they could gather and strengthen their abilities.

Additionally, newcomers need leaders in the battlefield, but over time, this approach developed many drawbacks.

The first problem wasn’t having newcomers entering the city within a certain period, making waiting for leader introduction impractical.

Conversely, sometimes groups of newcomers would agree to enter together, resulting in insufficient leaders available.

Furthermore, the Human Clan’s higher-ups realized those staying near the city for too long understood it excessively and discovered four traitors precisely among those long-standing team leaders.

Therefore, reforms were conducted.

They won’t forcefully assign team leaders, but newcomers must go to the battlefield to team up with the elder members.

Teaming up doesn’t come without challenges.

He can’t follow the team ignoring the fact that the Absolute-Formation finds him directly and he gives the pill. Wouldn’t it be better for Absolute-Formation to come directly to the city?

Outside the city...

Cao Zhen felt inspired, recalling his past encounter with Zong Zhen Immortal Lord, he could completely feign encountering danger, then...

No, even without encountering danger, he could have Absolute-Formation come.
