My Master Knows It All

But all of this only applied to cultivators above the Earth Immortal Realm, and for this group of Eastern Wilderness Sect Earth Immortal Realm cultivators, this was their first time coming to the Hundred Peaks Sect.

”So this is the Hundred Peaks Sect?”

”Looks about the same size as our Eastern Wilderness Sect.”

”Their mountain gate doesn’t seem to be fully rebuilt yet.”

”Mm, in that great calamity before, the mountain gate of the Hundred Peaks Sect was breached, and the Hundred Peaks Sect Leader even took out all of the resources of their Hundred Peaks Sect. So for a long time afterward, the mountain gate of the Hundred Peaks Sect never recovered.

I heard the Hundred Peaks Sect Leader went into the Alien Race to exchange for some resources, and only then did he rebuild the Hundred Peaks Sect’s mountain gate.”

”The Hundred Peaks Sect Leader has given far, far too much for our Human Clan.”

”Look at that flying boat—that’s the Dragon Chant Sect’s flying boat, right? They’ve come too.”

”And the Yin Yang Sect is here as well.”

Now that Cao Zhen was the Clan Leader of the Human Clan, this grand assembly was also being hosted by Cao Zhen. The Sect Hierarchs of the various great teachings all gave him immense face; apart from the few Sect Hierarchs who were currently impacting the Golden Immortal Realm, all the other Sect Hierarchs who could come had come.

Some of those great teachings whose Sect Hierarchs could not come had even dispatched their Grand Elders to lead the teams.

Immortal Gathering Peak!

The Immortal Gathering Peak of today was many, many times larger than the Immortal Gathering Peak back when it was still the Hundred Peaks Sect.

Whenever there was a major announcement within the Hundred Peaks Sect and the Disciples were to gather, it was also on Immortal Gathering Peak.

Even though the various great teachings had already eliminated quite a number of people, there were simply too many great teachings in the Eastern Province now, and the number of Golden Core Stage cultivators participating in this grand assembly was still a terrifying figure.

Thus, the rules of the Golden Core Stage tournament for the entire Eastern Province were the same as those of the Eastern Wasteland’s Golden Core Stage tournament back then: likewise, ten cultivators would step onto a single arena, and only one cultivator would be able to advance to the next round.

On the Gathering Immortals Platform, after Nie Jie, the current Vice Sect Hierarch of the Hundred Peaks Sect, finished announcing the rules, it was as if a cauldron had exploded. Exclamations rang out again and again.

”The first round is already ten-to-one?”

”Th-this rule is way too cruel.”

”Those standing here are almost all Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection existences. Everyone’s strength is incomparably close. With this kind of rule, won’t it be very easy for the strong to fight each other to the point of mutual ruin, and then some weakling picks up a bargain?”

”We didn’t register our names beforehand, and we haven’t revealed our Cultivation Realm either. If on one arena of ten people there happen to be two experts at the Golden Core Period Limit, then what?”

Nie Jie looked at the noisy mass of Disciples below. A majestic expression appeared on his face as endless pressure surged out from within his body, layered like tribulation clouds as it pressed down toward the crowd below.

In an instant, everyone below fell silent.

Only then did Nie Jie slowly speak: ”Since we set such rules, we naturally have our reasons.”

As he spoke, one bamboo sign after another appeared in the void before him.

Then he said, ”I have here ten different types of bamboo signs, namely red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, white, black, and colorful—ten different colors. The further back the color, the stronger it represents.

As long as your strength is enough, then go and seize the colorful bamboo signs. If you can’t seize them, then go after the other colors instead.

Remember, once someone has grabbed a bamboo sign in their hand, you may no longer snatch it from them.

When we assign arenas later, each arena will correspond to one color of bamboo sign, and in this way the strongest Disciples will naturally be separated.

Now, all preparations are ready.”

As Nie Jie’s voice fell, on the Gathering Immortals Platform the gazes of the Golden Core Stage Disciples all instantly locked onto those bamboo signs.

At the same time, behind their backs, one Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Core after another appeared in full.

At this moment, those who could stand here were almost all cultivators of Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection. At a glance, there were only a few cultivators of Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pill Perfect Completion.

Suddenly, in the next instant, the bamboo signs in front of Nie Jie shot out, flying down toward the group of Golden Core Stage cultivators below.

At the same time, these Golden Core Stage cultivators all activated their methods, reaching out to grab those bamboo signs.

However, some people lunged for the colorful bamboo signs, while others went for the black or white ones.

In an instant, rays of light from all kinds of Divine Skills streaked through the air, and some cultivators even unleashed techniques that formed giant hands to grab at the bamboo signs.

This stretch of space became incomparably chaotic in that moment.

In the crowd, Xingchen Zi’s gaze locked onto one colorful bamboo sign. All the strongest cultivators would be rushing for the colorful bamboo signs, so as long as one could obtain a colorful bamboo sign, one was sure to avoid those very strongest cultivators.

Only, before this bamboo sign even landed, wave after wave of Divine Skills had already struck it.

Although he was a Disciple of the Hundred Peaks Sect, he also didn’t know what material these bamboo signs were made of. Even under such a barrage of Divine Skills, the bamboo signs didn’t suffer the slightest damage; they only changed direction under the bombardment of those Divine Skills, flying off in another direction.

And in the void, one giant hand Xu Ying condensed from Divine Skills after another grabbed toward the bamboo signs, but before those Xu Ying giant hands could fall, various Divine Skills struck, and those giant hand Xu Ying shattered completely!

The bamboo signs closer to Xingchen Zi were blasted away, while bamboo signs from other directions were instead flying over toward their side.

Suddenly, not far from his side, a figure shot out, grabbing toward a colorful bamboo sign that was flying down.

But before his hand could touch the bamboo sign, numerous Divine Skills suddenly crashed down from all around.

The Protective Divine Power around this figure shattered instantly. In that instant, who knew how many Divine Skills he suffered; he fell straight out of the void.

Even so, more Divine Skills still smashed toward him. Suddenly, in the next moment, beams of light shot out and fell onto the figure who had been blasted down, helping him block those Divine Skills.

After all, gathered here were the Sect Hierarchs and Grand Elders of one great teaching after another, and within the Hundred Peaks Sect there were so many True Immortal Realm and Immortality Regainment Realm existences. How could they possibly allow people to be blasted to death while scrambling for bamboo signs?

Although one figure had been blown away, figures still shot out from all around, grabbing toward the bamboo signs.

But very quickly, even more Divine Skills flew out, blasting toward them.

For the moment, no one at all was able to get hold of that bamboo sign.

And there was clearly Immortal qi within these bamboo signs; they did not fall to the ground. After descending a certain distance, they rose into the air once more.
