My Master Knows It All

But what about them, the Thousand Caves Door?

Just thinking about the Supreme Gathering Spirit Talisman, which even allowed one to gather spiritual energy while sleeping, gave him an increasing headache.

Cao Zhen looked around and noticed that no one else had anything to say.

With a wave of his hand, he took back the Supreme Gathering Spirit Talisman he’d just refined and told everyone, “I have now finished debating all the topics, everyone, let’s…”

“Finished debating?

When did you finish?” Lan Pili quickly stepped forward upon hearing Cao Zhen announce the end of the debates, reminding him, “Peak Master Cao, didn’t you say you were also proficient in the Sword Dao?

We haven’t debated the Sword Dao yet.”

Peak Master Cao’s swordsmanship was so capable that he had directly defeated Wu Jianzi of the Sword Sect—beating Thousand Caves Door would hardly be a problem!

Since they were already here, it was natural not to miss the opportunity to suppress Thousand Caves Door.

Cao Zhen’s eyes widened in fury as he glared at Lan Pili—what a pig-headed teammate!

That was what they called a pig-headed teammate!

He had finally gotten through all the debates without a single loss, and you had to go and ruin it while nobody was even saying a thing.

You just wouldn’t be comfortable unless you saw me lose one, would you?

“Debating the Sword Dao?”

Elder Huan Kong’s face showed a trace of surprise; he remembered that when Cao Zhen had listed his proficiency, it did not include the Sword Dao.

But it didn’t matter now.

Since Lan Pili mentioned the Sword Dao, then they would debate the Sword Dao.

If they let Cao Zhen just walk away like that, where would Thousand Caves Door put their face?

Even if debating the Sword Dao meant that Cao Zhen lost just one debate, it would still be embarrassing for Thousand Caves Door, but at least they would retain some semblance of face.

If they lost, then they lost—it’s not like Thousand Caves Door hadn’t already lost face big time; losing one more time wouldn’t make much of a difference.

Elder Huan Kong addressed the surrounding disciples, “Everyone, since Peak Master Cao wishes to debate the Sword Dao, let us continue and discuss the matter with him.”

As he spoke, his gaze turned toward several Cave Masters of the Sword Dao.

The Sword Dao has always been mainstream in the Immortal Cultivation world.

Many people practiced the Sword Dao, and even those who did not practiced it usually understood some swordsmanship.

Additionally, a large number of cultivators chose swords as their weapon.

Thousand Caves Door had nearly fifty caves where disciples practiced the Sword Dao.

At the moment, many Cave Masters, who were standing nearby, stepped forward upon hearing Elder Huan Kong’s words.

“Peak Master Cao, please enlighten us.”

“Peak Master Cao, what is your Sword Dao like?”

“Peak Master Cao, what is the Sword Dao?”

Lan Pili listened to these questions and his face almost betrayed a smile of victory; asking such questions to Peak Master Cao was practically a joke—he was the man who defeated Wu Jianzi!

Cao Zhen, looking at Lan Pili’s expression which suggested that he was expected to perform, wished he could just hit Lan Pili right on the head with the Five-thunder Righteous Method.

What is the Sword Dao?

He knew jack shit about the Sword Dao.

Now, all he could hope for was that these people would have some pride, that they would manage to bluff themselves.

Back then, they had withstood Wu Jianzi’s attacks for three days.

Surely they could bluff a little, right?

Cao Zhen continued with what he had told Wu Jianzi back in the day, looking at the Cave Masters of the Sword Dao, “To me, the Sword Dao is simply drawing the sword.”

“Drawing the sword?

Is that all?”

“Drawing the sword?”

The Cave Masters were momentarily taken aback, with one even showing a mocking smile, “Drawing the sword?

Is that all there is to it?”

Below, many disciples of the Thousand Caves Door began to snicker upon hearing this.

“Drawing the sword?

What’s so special about that?”

“Who can’t draw a sword?”

“It’s literally a joke.”

A few Cave Masters also shook their heads and said, “Peak Master Cao, what’s so special about drawing a sword?”

“Drawing the sword?

And what comes after that, can it save lives, or is it just about practicing how to draw the sword?”

Lan Pili also looked at Cao Zhen in confusion, drawing the sword?

Was there anything special about that?

How did Peak Master Cao defeat Wu Jianzi back then?

It couldn’t just be about saying ‘drawing the sword.’

Cao Zhen, looking at the disciples of Thousand Caves Door with disappointment, shook his head and sighed, “Rotten wood truly cannot be carved; contemplate it, contemplate it deeply.”

He was truly disappointed; he had overestimated the people of Thousand Caves Door.

“Contemplate?

What’s there to contemplate about drawing a sword?”

“Peak Master Cao, if it’s just about drawing the sword, I’m afraid there’s no need to continue this debate anymore.”

Elder Huan Kong, seeing the words of the Cave Masters, immediately his face shone with brightness—there was hope in this debate!

It seemed like Thousand Caves Door might just win!

Initially, when he saw Lan Pili reminding Cao Zhen about debating the Sword Dao and then urged the others to discuss it, he really didn’t have much hope.

After all, by Lan Pili specifically reminding Cao Zhen, Lan Pili must have known about Cao Zhen’s proficiency in Sword Dao, feeling confident that he would certainly overcome them.

But what did Cao Zhen say?

Drawing the sword?

Even as someone who wasn’t adept with the sword, Elder Huan Kong felt that Cao Zhen’s statement was full of loopholes, and he could refute it countless ways, let alone the Cave Masters skilled in the Sword Dao.

He even felt that there was no need for Cave Masters to step in; just by having their disciples debate the Sword Dao with Cao Zhen, they would be able to win against him.

Hearing everyone’s comments, Cao Zhen suddenly realized—although he didn’t understand the Sword Dao, Wu Jianzi did.

On the day of their encounter, after hearing his theory of drawing the sword, Wu Jianzi had explained it once.

All Cao Zhen had to do was to repeat what Wu Jianzi had said.
