My Master Knows It All

Cao Zhen knew that his achievements today relied entirely on China Cloud.

However, to continue progressing, he had to let go of China Cloud.

After hearing the words of China Cloud, he asked, ”Tell me, if I sever the connection with all cultivators except my kin and disciple, and I can no longer gain additional experience from them, what will happen to me?”

”You will become an ordinary person,” China Cloud explained, ”because you severed the connection with them and closed the permissions between you all. The cultivation experience you initially gained from them will disappear completely.

And the cultivation experience you received from them is vast, as you also gained other things from them, and since those have deeply penetrated your mind, I cannot extract knowledge from your mind, it’s only applicable to your experiences.

After deduction, you should be in debt of experience.

But negative values cannot occur; after all, I cannot directly erase you, so your experience can only vanish entirely. This is the operational rule within China Cloud.

Of course, although your cultivation base disappears, it won’t cause you to immediately exhaust your lifespan and die.

It’s akin to... well, akin to those great abilities reincarnating again.

But, if you’re unable to cultivate again, or if your cultivation base remains weak, you will still die from exhausting your lifespan.”

Cao Zhen remained silent for a moment, then nodded. Continuing to connect with those people through China Cloud, continuing to lie around winning through China Cloud, would likely keep him stuck in the True Immortal Realm, never becoming the master of his own power.

”Well, one last question, is there any way for me to retain my third eye after severing the connection with Yang Jian?”

To live in this world now, he must retain his third eye, otherwise, he’d get captured immediately.

”This is one of the permissions granted by your elevated administrator level, have you never explored your permissions?”

Listening to China Cloud’s words, Cao Zhen stopped contemplating those matters, instead said, ”Now, sever my connection with them.”

China Cloud did not move.

”Huh?” Cao Zhen hesitated slightly and continued, ”Why aren’t you severing it?”

”You are currently injured, and if you sever now, once you become a mortal, your physicality would also become that of a mortal, barely stronger than mortals.

But your injuries wouldn’t disappear because you became a mortal; in that case, you would surely die.”

Cao Zhen realized it was reasonable. For instance now, his heart showed signs of cracking, if transformed into an ordinary mortal, in such condition, he surely would die.

Therefore, he had to heal his injuries first.

He slightly closed his eyes and began operating his cultivation technique to treat his injuries.

Slowly, he discovered that although the injuries were severe, the opponent’s attack didn’t contain any special aura.

Like typically, in battles between cultivators, if the opponent cultivates the cold breath style, upon getting hit by the opponent, their cold breath remains within, necessitating it be dispelled to heal fully. This is why higher cultivation bases recover slower.

But though the opponent’s strike was formidable, the embedded power of reincarnation had vanished.

After all, the opponent’s reincarnation power accelerated his wounds, and after acceleration, it was gone.

Thus, although severely injured this time, the recovery was quick.

In just three days, his injuries had basically healed.

Three days later, Cao Zhen sat cross-legged on the ground, murmuring, ”Begin.”

Soon after, a succession of voices arose in his mind.

”Zhang Daoling’s connection, severed!”

”Golden Light Sage’s connection, severed!”

”Fairy QiongXiao’s connection, severed!”

With each voice, he felt his very soul trembling, as if self-severed with a blade, his entire cultivation dropped drastically!

With the last severance of just-connected Celestial Wheel Immortal Monarch, he was lying on the ground, crying in a low voice. From a True Immortal realm cultivator, he became an ordinary mortal; even his physicality changed, such significant change inevitably evoked a reaction.

In that instant, he felt his entire body ache, he even felt touching death.

Under intense pain, his body involuntarily rolled to the side, crushing nearby cabinet, constant thuds emanated from the room.

Apparently unable to withstand the pain, or maybe the abrupt change was too much, he fainted at last.

Next door, even less could be considered next-door, since the wall had long collapsed halfway.

A middle-aged couple was repairing their house, the yard could be rebuilt later, but a house must be constructed, and they hadn’t hired help, also couldn’t hire currently.

Everyone’s houses were almost ruined, each was busy repairing their own, no time nor mood for helping others, so everyone was attending only to their own affairs, and their children naturally unchecked, let freely play about.
