My Master Knows It All

69: Chapter 65 The Voice of China_1 69: Chapter 65 The Voice of China_1 What is a Spiritual Tide?

It is a situation where, prior to the inversion of Heaven and Earth, the spiritual energy suddenly increases.

The emergence of this phenomenon signifies that the inversion of Heaven and Earth has officially begun!

The strongest cultivators of the present age feared they were already entering, or preparing to enter, tombs to sleep and evade the crushing force of the Heavenly Dao brought about by the inversion of Heaven and Earth.

“According to ancient records, everyone should know what happens during the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, commonly referred to as the Immortal Cultivation Mini Ice Age,” Bai Fengzi said with a serious expression as he looked at the crowd.

Through his conversations with Beichen Ying over these past days, Cao Zhen also knew that the Immortal Cultivation Mini Ice Age had always been synonymous with slaughter, chaos, and a complete reshuffling of various powers.

Some forces might even be wiped out completely as a result.

The power of the Heavenly Dao’s inversion forced the strong to choose to hide by entering tombs to sleep—becoming like ordinary humans in order to avoid death by crushing.

If these sleeping cultivators were found by those with a cultivation base below the Golden Core stage, they could easily be killed.

These were beings whom they wouldn’t have dared to even contemplate defeating.

Bai Fengzi gently coughed to bring everyone’s attention back to him and continued, “Because this is the first appearance of the Spiritual Tide, although it is still very weak, many disciples have already benefited greatly from it.

Therefore, the recent batch of Taoist Institution disciples are no longer suitable to continue their cultivation at the Taoist Institution.

The day for the Peaks to accept disciples has been brought forward…”

Before Bai Fengzi could finish, the Peak Masters, who normally wouldn’t bat an eyelid at the collapse of mountains, suddenly stirred with a twinge of excitement.

An outstanding disciple could add hundreds or even thousands of years of destiny to their Peak, and a top-level disciple who steps into the Ten Thousand Life Stage could maintain a Peak’s dominance for ten thousand years.

According to ancient records, when Heaven and Earth invert and the Spiritual Tide emerges, that group of cultivators who have just begun to coalesce their first Dao platform often become the so-called beloved of Heaven and Earth, the children of destiny in the future.

Among the current batch of disciples, who could guarantee there isn’t someone who will resonate with the Heavenly Dao while coalescing their Dao platform?

This is the most precious batch of disciples in nearly a hundred, even a thousand, years!

Cao Zhen did not share the excitement of the other Peak Masters.

Four Treasures Peak had four disciples with Waste Immortal Bodies; each one looking to improve their cultivation base and break through their limits was like a Gold-Swallowing Behemoth!

Who could bear it if they had to share resources as well?

At this time, mechanized people from Mechanism Peak placed a thin booklet by the side of each Peak Master.

Bai Fengzi continued speaking, “The booklet in everyone’s hands has been compiled by the Taoist Institution together with the elders from the Discrimination Capital Courtyard.

It’s an evaluation of the aptitude potential of this batch of Taoist Institution disciples.

Of course, this is just a reference for everybody.

In the end, selecting the disciples will still rely on the discerning eyes of the Peak Masters.”

Although the Peak Masters had already had a general understanding of this batch of Taoist Institution disciples, they still picked up the booklets and read carefully, fearful of missing potential candidates they hadn’t noticed.

Cao Zhen, seeing the other Peak Masters reading, felt he would be too conspicuous if he didn’t, so he also picked up a booklet and pretended to flip through it casually.

On the first page he opened, there it was—the name mentioned by Chen Shizhi during that gathering, Yi Sheng.

Strengths: True Yang Body, a prodigious talent difficult to come by once in a thousand years at the Hundred Peaks Sect, extremely high aptitude, quick to learn, who probably resonated with Heaven and Earth during the initial Spiritual Tide, forming a Dao platform—might even achieve Heaven and Earth’s union.

Weaknesses: eccentric personality, extremely confident.

Best matched cultivation technique: Pure Yang Utmost True Solution; secondary match: Supreme Sun Qianyuan Skill, Nine Yang Climbing Peak Skill; third match: Azure Fire Flame Vigor…

Pure Yang Utmost True Solution?

Cao Zhen recalled that Zhang Daoling’s Great Hollow Scripture recorded this as an excellent Fire Technique, but it was not the most suitable for a True Yang Body; the Heaven and Earth Fire Thunder True Solution should be the best.

“Everyone, my apologies,” said Chen Qingluan, Peak Master of Azure Pheasant Peak, with a smile as she put down her booklet and cupped her fist towards the other Peak Masters.

“This True Yang Body is an excellent Fire system and, as everyone here knows, my Azure Pheasant Peak boasts the most unparalleled Fire Techniques within the Hundred Peaks Sect.

Although my Peak doesn’t have the Pure Yang Utmost True Solution, we do possess the Supreme Sun Qianyuan Skill…”

“Heh heh… Since when has your Azure Pheasant Peak’s Fire Techniques been unmatched in the Hundred Peaks Sect?” scoffed the Peak Master of Vermilion Bird Peak.

“When it comes to Fire Techniques, who in the Hundred Peaks Sect can surpass Vermilion Bird Peak…”

“Tu Zhuque!”

“Chen Qingluan!”

The two Peak Masters from the Top Ten Peaks slammed their hands on the table and stood up simultaneously, their gazes clashing in the hall as if they were about to spark a real flame.

“Travelling far and wide for good is like using other mountains’ stones to polish your jade; my Hidden Sea Peak may belong to the water system, but we also have a copy of the Nine Yang Climbing Peak Skill.

If Yi Sheng were to follow my Hidden Sea Peak for his cultivation, not only could he cultivate the fire system, but he would also understand the relationship between water and fire.

Wouldn’t that be even better?”

As the rotund figure from Hidden Sea Peak stood up to speak, the hall immediately turned into a chaotic mess, with Peak Masters from the top thirty peaks standing up one after another, expressing their desire to take Yi Sheng as a disciple.

Everyone knew very well that the brochure had mentioned the possibility of a resonance and that completing the Heavenly Union was also likely!

Who wouldn’t vie for such a prospect?

Only a fool wouldn’t!

Heavenly resonance!

As long as one doesn’t die, at the very least, one would become a colossal powerhouse at the Ten Thousand Life Stage!

And if the Heavenly Union really took place…

an immortal body wasn’t out of the question!

Cao Zhen watched the chaotic hall and shook his head repeatedly.

Whichever peak Yi Sheng joined, that peak would likely become the thorn in the side of the others for decades, or even a century to come!

It’s better for Four Treasures Peak not to get involved in this mess.

Suddenly, a wailing voice filled with power burst forth next to Cao Zhen’s ear, overwhelming all the arguing voices in the hall.

Cao Zhen realized that the one crying and wailing was none other than Deng Qixing, the Peak Master of the Ninety-Ninth Peak, Seven Star Peak!

“Ancestors and forebearers, oh!

I am incompetent…” Deng Qixing bawled on the floor like a shrewish woman, “Under my stewardship, Seven Star Peak has never flourished!

I have failed my ancestors!

They say all peaks within the Hundred Peaks Sect are equal, but when it comes to accepting disciples…

where is the equality…

Master, oh!

Open your eyes and look!

Even the Sect Leader, the True Person, does nothing…”

Cao Zhen couldn’t help but secretly give a thumbs-up in admiration, thinking if this old Deng were on Earth, he would definitely be a keyboard warrior!

If he were a woman, certainly a top-notch boxer!

Accepting disciples is all about who has the ability to do so, but in his narrative…

it seems like anything short of giving in to him is inequity?

The outburst from old Deng left everyone dumbfounded for a moment, not sure how to respond.

After all, he had invoked the familial ties of the Hundred Peaks Sect and even mentioned the ancestors…

At this point, speaking against him could easily lead to being labeled negatively.

Bai Fengzi herself hadn’t anticipated Deng Qixing’s sudden move, and she was somewhat pleased inside.

No matter who she promised the True Yang Body Yi Sheng to, she was bound to offend others.

A commotion like this actually made it easier to handle.

“Peak Master Deng, there’s no need for this, no need.” Bai Fengzi hurriedly said, “Doesn’t our Hundred Peaks Sect have a rule?

If multiple peaks choose the same disciple, then let the disciple choose in return.”

Cao Zhen inwardly mocked: The Voice of China?

Contestants choosing their own mentors?

When the Peak Masters heard what Bai Fengzi said, many of them wore smug expressions.

The higher-placed peaks had more resources!

Obviously, their chances of winning were much greater.

Sitting on the floor with a lamenting face, Deng Qixing asked, “Sect Leader, do your words count?”

“Of course, they do,” Bai Fengzi replied verbally, wondering internally, what good could a peak ranked ninety-ninth possibly offer to attract Yi Sheng?

“Then that’s settled!” Deng Qixing stopped crying, got up from the floor, and took out a bead from his bosom, smiling.

The moment Deng Qixing produced the bead, the expressions of the other Peak Masters interested in taking Yi Sheng as their disciple, except those from Azure Pheasant Peak and Vermilion Bird Peak, changed drastically, all turning similarly unsightly.

Wind Fire Flood Dragon Pearl!

This was the inner core of a fire flood dragon that had lived for nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine years and had sought to transform into a dragon!

Its value was beyond description!

Judging by just half a step, it could have turned into a dragon, and the inner core of the failed fire flood dragon already contained much of the dragon’s essence!

Such a treasure would be of significant aid to almost any cultivator, and for those who practiced fire techniques, it was a priceless treasure indeed!

Only the Pure Yang Utmost True Solution could contend with such a precious item!
