My Master Knows It All

Below, everyone felt the frightening pressure approaching and their hearts trembled, abruptly halting their conversations.

The Grand Preceptor’s voice followed once again at this moment.

“Now, the grand assembly of Immortals’ martial competition begins, go ahead.”

As his words ended, the crowd began to take flight, each heading towards their respective arenas.

And even more people flew towards a mountain not far away.

Standing higher naturally allowed for a further view; merely standing on flat ground with so many people blocking the view, what could they see?

Cao Zhen, too, led his disciples straight to the mountain, found a spot, and then looked towards the arenas.

He noticed that each arena was engraved with various formations, and likewise, beneath each arena, there was a designated referee.

To say there was a designated referee, in fact, more to maintain the safety of the formations.

This time, he once again saw the Grand Preceptor’s dominance.

The Grand Preceptor had not discussed with any Immortal Sect previously, and now he had arrived and simply informed them, directing the leaders of the major Immortal Sects to provide their own referees.

It was not a discussion, but a direct declaration to everyone that this was how it would be done.

The leaders of the major Immortal Sects, especially those from the ten great Immortal Sects and the Sword Sect, the Scholar Path, such dominant Immortal Sects, were all in the Earth Immortal Realm.

But in the Grand Preceptor’s eyes, even those of the Earth Immortal Realm were merely ordinary cultivators, nothing extraordinary.

As the cultivators took to the arenas, each holding their number plates, battles erupted one after another.

Cao Zhen and the disciples from Four Treasures Peak, their gazes all turned towards the T-shaped arena, for Xiang Ziyu was the first to enter as combatant number one in Group T.

On the T-shaped arena, disciples from various great Immortal Sects had just ascended the platform when their gazes immediately fell upon Xiang Ziyu.

There was no helping it, as Xiang Ziyu’s fame in Jiancheng had become too resounding recently; everyone knew of his status as one possessing the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, and moreover, they recognized him not only by name but also by sight.

After all, there had been too many who had seen him during his stint as defender of the Immortal Reception House.

“Hundred Peaks Sect, Four Treasures Peak’s Xiang Zi Yu!”

“It’s him!”

Each of the people from the Immortal Sects seeing Xiang Ziyu ascend the arena with them looked extremely unpleasant.

Xiang Ziyu was indeed known as one of the Ten Different Phenomena Golden Core Great Perfection, and such strength counted him among the most elite participants in the grand assembly of Immortals’ martial competition.

Normally, they had no chance of victory.

The only stratagem was…

“Fellow companions, let’s join forces,” suggested a fair-skinned man amongst the crowd, addressing the other eight.

The grand assembly of Immortals’ martial competition had not forbidden forming alliances on the stage; hence, his proposition was not against the rules.

Though he didn’t explicitly say to gang up on anyone, his words fell, and the surrounding people nodded in understanding, clearly knowing what to do.

Joining forces to attack Xiang Ziyu, only by doing so did they stand a sliver of a chance of victory.

And even that was just a sliver.

The existence of one with the Ten Different Phenomena Golden Core Great Perfection was too prodigious, too exceptional; some of their own Immortal Sects did not even have such heavenly pride amongst them.

Xiang Ziyu, looking at everyone who had tacitly reached an agreement, showed not the slightest hint of concern on his face.

He proudly scanned the surroundings, his face even revealing an excited expression as he muttered to himself, “Finally, I, the true protagonist, am about to take the stage under the eyes of the world.

To start off being assaulted by a group, that’s the norm.

However, nine people are too few.”

Surrounding him, everyone listening to Xiang Ziyu’s words grew even more displeased.

Indeed, they knew of Xiang Ziyu’s strength, but he was being too arrogant, lamenting the small number as if he didn’t take them seriously at all.

Xiang Ziyu merely glanced at the other nine participants, his gaze then falling on a referee below the stage, possibly from some Immortal Sect, prompting, “Everyone has arrived now, shall we begin quickly?

Look, they’ve already started fighting in the adjoining arena.”

The referee looked at Xiang Ziyu’s arrogant demeanor and nodded sharply, shouting, “Begin!”

He had heard of this Xiang Ziyu; reputed to be extremely adept in the way, seemingly the true disciple of his master, Cao Zhen, undefeated in debate since descending the mountain.

He also knew that Xiang Ziyu was acknowledged as one with the Ten Different Phenomena Golden Core Great Perfection, and his own sect, the Sun and Moon Sect, had a genius disciple of the same level, even more than one, in fact.

He wanted to see just how capable this Xiang Ziyu was, another with the Ten Different Phenomena Golden Core Great Perfection.

Atop the high mountain, many people’s gazes also focused on the T-shaped arena at this time.

With so many people engaging simultaneously, the battles of those with greater cultivation and stronger power naturally attracted more attention.

As the referee’s command echoed, on the T-shaped arena, the other nine unleashed their combat prowess simultaneously.

Golden Cores began to rise, resulting in a spectacle.

Golden Cores!

On this single platform, every participant possessed a Golden Core cultivation!

Some had a single Golden Core, others had three, and some had five…

All of them joined forces, unleashing their divine skills.
