My Master Knows It All

Immortal Lord Yan Hua and Demonic Lord Guang Yu, upon hearing the voice, didn’t say much, quickly flying towards the city, while Immortal Lord Jue Zhen and Cao Zhen flew out a bit further to find a hidden spot.

As Immortal Lord Jue Zhen handed over the Heaven and Earth Rings acquired from exterminating Demonic Lord Hong Xi and his two companions to Cao Zhen, he inquired, ”Sect Hierarch, what will you do now? Shall we return to the city and then to the Great Thousand World?”

”I cannot return to the Great Thousand World for now.” Cao Zhen shook his head with a sigh. He had stayed in the Great Thousand World, even on the Immortality Regainment Realm battlefield, without feeling any breakthrough, but now, having arrived at the True Immortal Battlefield, he clearly sensed it was easier to gain insights here. It seemed he could only break through by staying here to cultivate.

Immortal Lord Jue Zhen showcased a worried expression upon hearing this and said, ”Sect Hierarch, if you continue cultivating here, your identity...”

Cao Zhen waved his hand lightly and said, ”No problem, I can be Sword Lord Qing Lian, or Immortal Lord Hong Lian, or Demonic Lord Black Lotus... I’ll just switch to another identity. At that time, no one will know it’s me. Earlier, I was suspected merely because of bad luck in encountering Immortal Lord Zong Zhen; otherwise, anyone else wouldn’t have suspected me like that.”

Upon hearing the name Immortal Lord Zong Zhen, Immortal Lord Jue Zhen showed a peculiar expression and remarked, ”Even so, Sect Hierarch, you are, after all, in the Immortality Regainment Realm. In this True Immortal Battlefield, what if you encounter enemies?”

”Earlier, it was because I followed this group far away that I encountered danger. Now, I’ll find a place to hide and cultivate, avoiding those dangers. Besides, if I truly encounter danger, I have life-saving methods, though I’m reluctant to use them easily.”

Cao Zhen looked at Immortal Lord Jue Zhen and gestured, ”Alright, stop worrying about me. By the way, I’ve given you the Pill long before, and I reckon Ling Xi and the others are waiting anxiously, so take the Pill to them first.”

While speaking, Cao Zhen handed over the Pill he had refined to Immortal Lord Jue Zhen.

Immortal Lord Jue Zhen, after receiving the Pill, suddenly recalled something and said, ”Right, Sect Hierarch, there’s also the Treasure obtained from the ruins previously.”

As she spoke, she took out an ancient Ding. This ancient Ding was obtained by Sect Leader Cao and his group, and she took the ancient Ding intending to give it to Cao Zhen.

”I’ve investigated this Ding; it should belong to the Seven-color Tribe—it’s the Immortal-binding Demon-locking Ding. Anyone suppressed by the Ding will be trapped inside, losing cognitive ability and awareness, only obeying the Ding master’s orders.

Initially, the Seven-color Tribe used this Ding to train their offspring, for instance, capturing an alien race member, putting it into the Ding for combat practice with other Seven-color Tribe members inserted into the Ding.

Besides this, it was used for interrogation, as being suppressed in the Ding renders one as the Ding master’s slave, answering everything.

But gradually, the Seven-color Tribe discovered a greater use for their Immortal-binding Demon-locking Ding, which was to trap Insect Clan mothers within it!

Once captured, these Insect Clan mothers can be enslaved. However, they still yield eggs and produce Soldier Bugs. Moreover, if an Insect Clan mother consumes another mother, it can acquire that mother’s capabilities and produce a different type of Soldier Bugs.

Originally immobile, the Insect Clan mother can be moved within the Immortal-binding Demon-locking Ding!

Of course, the downside is that once trapped, the mother cannot cultivate further. Advancing the mother’s realm now relies on various resources and consumes large amounts of them.

Moreover, the mother’s breakthrough can only be in smaller cultivation realms, not the larger ones. Even so, the Immortal-binding Demon-locking Ding’s value is exceedingly high!

Previously, there were a total of two Immortal-binding Demon-locking Dings worldwide, both eventually found and kept by the Insect Clan. This should be the third one!”

”Oh? Such a thing exists.” Cao Zhen took the ancient Ding with great interest, having encountered some Insect Clan mothers in the past but lacked this Ding at the time.

And having possessed the Ding wouldn’t have helped as the encountered Insect Clan mothers were from the Earth Immortal Realm, producing mediocre Soldier Bugs.

Even if I now return to the Immortality Regainment Realm battlefield to seek out mothers, it wouldn’t be useful. To get significant gains, one needs to deal with True Immortal Realm’s Insect Clan mothers.

The problem is, Insect Clan mothers are already rare and highly cautious, making them hard to find. Even if found, being only in the True Immortal Realm, I wouldn’t be able to kill an Insect Clan mother, let alone suppress it.

”Since you are giving me this Treasure, I’ll accept it. Perhaps it might be useful in the future.” Cao Zhen pointed into the distance, ”Alright, return for now. I need to find a secluded place and go into seclusion for cultivation.”

Hearing this, Immortal Lord Jue Zhen stood up, returned to Sun Detritus City, and then used the extraterritorial battlefield’s passageway to return to the Human Clan’s Great Thousand World.

Cao Zhen found a concealed cave, entered it, and then informed Ling Xi, Yan Yourong, and others that they could return to Four Treasures Peak; Absolute-Formation would deliver the Pill to them.

In Sun Detritus City, Immortal Lord Yan Hua, after returning, reported the matter to Immortal Lord Zong Zhen, whose whereabouts were unknown, since it was Immortal Lord Zong Zhen who initially asked her to remain by Cao Zhen’s side, and it was only natural to report this. Plus, Immortal Lord Zong Zhen, a peerless genius of the Human Clan, wouldn’t harm Cao Zhen even if aware of his existence.
