My Master Knows It All

Without the barrier of the scale armor, the sword instantly pierced into his body, followed by a sudden explosion of sharp Sword Qi.

Cao Zhen executed a successful strike, following up with several more thrusts, each striking the opponent’s previous wounds.

Crimson blood flowed continuously, and Immortal Lord Zhui Hun’s injuries became increasingly dire, his aura growing weaker.

”Boom!”

Soon after, Immortal Lord Zhui Hen fell heavily to the ground, showing no signs of life.

Cao Zhen collected the Heaven and Earth Ring from his fallen foe and turned his gaze to another unfamiliar cultivator.

Now, only one cultivator remained.

In truth, he bore no grudge against the other, but for either of them to leave, the other must be eliminated. If he didn’t act, the other certainly would.

However, he was curious about his cultivation realm when the power of time descended again after a year.

Currently, he was already a mortal, without any cultivation realm.

By then, surely he wouldn’t end up with a negative cultivation base.

Or perhaps, he would regain his mana?

Most likely, there wouldn’t be any change.

The trial of the City of Time seemed designed to turn cultivators into mortals or those of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Unexpectedly, he, who hadn’t become a Taichi Golden Immortal, had turned into a mortal prematurely.

For a year, Cao Zhen practiced swordsmanship while observing Ling Xi and Xiang Ziyu’s situations through China Cloud.

Ling Xi remained cultivating in the Symbol Talisman Relic.

As for Xiang Ziyu and others, only Immortal Lord Ruxiang and Immortal Lord Jiu Xiao were present, leaving behind Xiang Ziyu, Yan Yourong, and Celestial Wheel Immortal Monarch.

Regarding the other cultivators, perhaps they were lost and never found, or they might have met with misfortune.

While they were safe now, they hadn’t entered the City of Time.

Cao Zhen had warned them not to collect those time imprints. After all, he and nine other cultivators each possessed at least two time imprints.

Possessing two time imprints, they might not want to come here, yet they had to enter.

He didn’t want to see his disciples turning on each other.

Thus, Yan Yourong and the others never directly collected time imprints, not even Xiang Ziyu.

Xiang Ziyu didn’t collect these imprints, not because of a change in heart, but for his senior sister’s sake.

In his words, if his senior sister was so weak and their Human Clan’s power so feeble, if he entered the Ancient City of Time, she would be in real danger.

Unknowingly, a year passed, and with it came the cadaverous generals, accompanied by the power of time.

Feeling the power of time descend upon him, Cao Zhen’s face showed a look of surprise. With the power of time, he had indeed reincarnated again.

Moreover, he had reincarnated back to the True Immortal Realm!

The realm he had reached in the Great Thousand World of their Human Clan!

Surging immortal energy uncontrollably spread to the surroundings.

In the distance, another cultivator looked at Cao Zhen, whose entire body was brimming with immortal energy, and his face instantly showed a look of despair.

How could he possibly fight?

Now, he was just at the Foundation Establishment Stage, while the other was a powerful True Immortal.

”I never imagined I’d meet such an end. Yet, even in death, I shall die by my own hand!”

He suddenly drew a sharp sword to his neck and fiercely drew it down.

Instantly, blood spurted into the sky.

”This...”

Watching the cultivator before him commit suicide, Cao Zhen sighed helplessly and stepped forward to take the other’s Heaven and Earth Ring.

The next moment, the Void, with that Xu Ying, appeared once more.

With a wave of his hand, the next moment, a flash of light passed before Cao Zhen.

The surrounding void swirled, and a dizziness overcame him.

The next moment, he was surprised to find himself standing before the mysterious Ancient City of Time. Around him were other cultivators.

These cultivators were almost all at the Foundation Establishment Stage, with a few without cultivation, and even two at the Immortal Bridge Period.

Immortal Bridge Period...

Daluo Golden Immortals, now at the Foundation Establishment Stage, meant that those two Immortal Bridge Period cultivators were once Quasi-Saints!

The eyes of nearly all the cultivators were locked on Cao Zhen, their eyes filled with amazement and concern.

”True Immortal Realm?”

”How can there be a True Immortal Realm presence?”

”He cannot possibly reincarnate to the True Immortal Realm regardless of his cultivation realm!”

”What is going on?”

”If a True Immortal Realm presence attacks us...”

Amidst the cultivators’ concerns, the Xu Ying appeared once again in the Void.

”Enter the Ancient City, and you shall receive the inheritance of time,”

With those words falling, the ancient city’s gate suddenly opened.

Hearing this, the cultivators rushed towards the ancient city.

Cao Zhen watched them charge forward, a look of surprise on his face. Could it be that receiving the inheritance was that easy?

Or perhaps...

Was there another test in receiving the inheritance?

He showed a look of surprise, hesitated for a moment, then followed, not immediately flying into the ancient city, but entering after a step behind.

As he entered the ancient city, an endless force of time surged in.

In an instant, the cultivators who were at the Foundation Establishment Stage or even the Immortal Bridge Period fell into the cycle of time, quickly spinning back to a time before they had begun their cultivation.
