My Master Knows It All

"No," Wu Jianzi shook his head helplessly.

"No?" A nearby expert from the Eastern Wilderness Sect heard this, full of surprise, and said, "You haven’t seen someone else’s master, how did you return?"

"It wasn’t that I wanted to return, but if I continued, I might not be able to come back," Wu Jianzi sighed. "As soon as I followed them out, I was warned. In the void, a sword flew by— that sword was definitely sent by a master in the True Immortal Realm."

"A master in the True Immortal Realm? Is the opponent’s teacher a True Immortal Realm?"

"There are not many True Immortal Realm loose cultivators in our Eastern Wilderness, and even fewer are those rare True Immortal Realm masters skilled with the sword."

"Could it be Demonic Lord Gui Jian?"

"It can’t be him. Demonic Lord Gui Jian cultivates demonic qi, whereas that Child Star Son clearly has the most orthodox immortal qi!"

"There is another person, Sword Lord Huan Shi."

"Yes, it might be him, though he was previously seen in the northernmost part of our Eastern Province."

"What’s so strange about a master in the True Immortal Realm flying from the northernmost part to the southern part of the Eastern Province?"

"Let’s stop guessing the identity of the opponent; when we go to participate in the entire Eastern Province’s gathering three years later, his master should appear then."

Xingchen Zi flew all the way towards the Hundred Peaks Sect, and by the time he arrived, the martial arts tournament at the Hundred Peaks Sect had already ended.

As soon as he returned to the mountain gate, he sensed something was amiss.

The disciples within the Hundred Peaks Sect wore expressions of unusual seriousness, especially those in the Golden Core Stage — this stage should be the most numerous in the Hundred Peaks Sect.

After all, the Earth Immortal Realm is a hurdle. Many get trapped within it, and even if they break through, it requires long cultivation, which has led to a particularly large number of Golden Core Stage Earth Immortals.

Yet, as he walked along, he saw hardly any Golden Core Stage disciples.

Without asking much, he returned to the sect to find his senior brother, Wamendi, immediately inquiring, "Senior Brother, why do I feel that the atmosphere of our Hundred Peaks Sect is not quite right, and why can’t I see nearly any Golden Core Stage disciples? Did something happen?"

His senior brother, Wamendi, was the most informed person.

"What could have happened?" Wamendi pointed into the distance and said, "You should know, recently the only major event has been the Golden Core Stage martial arts tournament.

You also know, a major teaching has thirty spots, but these spots are divided among all who came to participate in the tournament from the Hundred Peaks Sect.

In the end, our Hundred Peaks Sect only got twenty-five spots; the remaining five spots were taken by cultivators from other sects and loose cultivators."

Upon hearing this, Xingchen Zi showed evident surprise on his face and whispered, "Why were so many spots taken by others?"

"See, you have the same expression," Wamendi shook his head lightly. "Do you think that our Hundred Peaks Sect, being a great teaching with our hierarch still holding the Clan Leader position for the human clan, and with so many True Immortal Realm members within our sect, should naturally claim all the spots?

Your generation of young disciples is overly confident.

Have you considered that while you are a genius, why shouldn’t others be geniuses too? Our Hundred Peaks Sect has heavenly pride, why can’t other sects or even loose cultivators have heavenly pride?"

Upon hearing this, Xingchen Zi thought back to his participation in the Eastern Wilderness Sect’s martial arts tournament, indeed encountering several who were in the Great Perfection of the Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir not from Eastern Ring Street, calmly nodding and saying, "The junior brother was wrong; indeed, we have heavenly pride, but other sects may also produce heavenly pride.

Just like when our Hundred Peaks Sect was initially just a sect, yet Father, Mother, Senior Sister Ling Xi, and Senior Brother Xiang Ziyu emerged as heavenly pride.

It’s very normal for others to have heavenly pride."

Wamendi heard this and nodded in satisfaction, "You’ve quickly realized this, which is great. But even though our Hundred Peaks Sect’s disciples have realized this, they are all crazily in closed-door cultivation. Do you know why?"

Xingchen Zi dutifully asked, "Why?"

Wamendi casually found a place to sit, then looked at Xingchen Zi and said, "You should know, even the Great Perfection of the Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir has strong and weak distinctions.

The strongest naturally is the Golden Core Period Limit, followed by those infinitely close to the Golden Core Period Limit.

People are then divided into top tier Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir Perfect Completion, transcendent Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir Perfect Completion, profound-level Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir Perfect Completion, wilderness-level Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir Perfect Completion, and ordinary Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir Perfect Completion."

Xingchen Zi nodded and said, "Junior brother understands; junior brother can be counted among the top-tier Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir Perfect Completion."

"That’s correct; whether it’s your mana or your flesh, they belong to the top-tier Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir Perfect Completion. You’re still far from the Golden Core Period Limit.

And this time, among our Hundred Peaks Sect’s Golden Core Stage disciples, not a single one reached the Golden Core Period Limit.

Instead, it was a loose cultivator who reached the Golden Core Period Limit, surpassing all our sect’s disciples of the Golden Core Stage.

Therefore, our Hundred Peaks Sect’s disciples feel embarrassed and are now crazily cultivating, especially those nearing the Golden Core Period Limit. They are frantically striving for the Golden Core Period Limit.

However, in my opinion, they probably won’t achieve the Golden Core Period Limit anytime soon, at least not while representing our Hundred Peaks Sect in the human clan’s gathering or even representing our human clan in the Eight Clans’ martial arts.
