My Master Knows It All

918: Chapter 252_6 918: Chapter 252_6 It made sense, after all, Ling Xi was from Four Treasures Peak, and all these divine skills were provided by the Sect Leader.

Sister Ling Xi didn’t need to acquire divine skills through the points ranking; she could learn them directly from the Sect Leader.

The brothers and sisters from Four Treasures Peak were essentially not participating in the competition, and furthermore, Elder Brother Lie Yan wasn’t competing either.

With this, our opportunity had arrived.”

Lie Yan did wake up after the Lieyan Nirvana, and Cao Zhen also administered punishment.

He sentenced Lie Yan to sweep Spirit Mountain for ten years.

During these ten years, unless the Hundred Peaks Sect faced an attack or another major event, Lie Yan was not allowed to leave Spirit Mountain.

Additionally, he was forbidden from leaving the Hundred Peaks Sect for a hundred years.”

Lie Yan, being unable to leave Spirit Mountain for ten years, naturally couldn’t participate in the ranking competition.

“There is an opportunity now, but aiming to get first place, or even the top twenty, is easier said than done…” Zi Xuan sighed deeply, his gaze shifting with the list, where even beyond the text there was a segment of special, different introductions.

“Any disciple found guilty of fraud, collusion, or other means of manipulating the ranking on the list will be stripped of their right to compete in the ranking for at least ten years, and up to a hundred years.

Additionally, within the Hundred Peaks Sect and the Dragon-Tiger Immortal Palace of the city, disciple Yi Sheng from Four Treasures Peak is appointed as the first Elder of the Dragon-Tiger Immortal Palace, responsible for the tallying of points on the Dragon-Tiger Ranking, as well as the distribution of other points.”

Beyond that, the list contained many more detailed rules about the Dragon-Tiger Ranking.

For example, a person must accept at least ten challenges within six months to remain on the list.

Of course, if you are too strong and no one challenges you within six months, you can also stay on the list, but you must open up at least twenty days when anyone can challenge you within those six months.

What’s more, if you fail to challenge someone three times in a row, you are not allowed to challenge anyone else within the following ten days.

This rule is in place to prevent excessively stubborn disciples from challenging others incessantly, causing them to be preoccupied with responding to challenges and unable to cultivate.

The reason Cao Zhen specified these points rules was, in fact, to strengthen the Hundred Peaks Sect.

However, he hadn’t anticipated that the same day he announced the existence of the points ranking, two disciples from Hundred Peaks Sect came forth to confess on their own.

These two, whose Era Prosperity Power fluctuated between bright and dim, admitted their identities.

Like Lie Yan, they had been part of the Qi Tian Dynasty since childhood and were already affiliated with the dynasty before they were sent to the Hundred Peaks Sect.

But after arriving at the Hundred Peaks Sect, they were truly moved by the people around them and developed deep feelings for the sect.

The earlier incident involving Lie Yan had greatly affected both of them.

Now, seeing the Sect Leader of Hundred Peaks Sect selflessly offer even the Five-thunder Righteous Method, they looked at themselves, and ultimately, they stepped forward to admit their identities.

Cao Zhen noticed that as they fully confessed their identities, the Era Prosperity Power representing them in the Prosperous Age Picture Record settled down, no longer fluctuating intensely but maintaining a constant strength.

Considering both had come forward voluntarily, and they hadn’t done anything to betray the Hundred Peaks Sect, Cao Zhen meted out punishment similar to Lie Yan’s.

They were to reflect on themselves while sweeping Spirit Mountain for one year, and were banned from leaving the Hundred Peaks Sect for the next ten years starting today.

Their punishment was only a tenth of Lie Yan’s.

After all, Lie Yan had once leaked information about the Hundred Peaks Sect to the Fourth Prince, while these two hadn’t disclosed any information—that was enough.

After the two of them confessed, another disciple Cao Zhen had noticed before, with dim and nearly imperceptible Era Prosperity Power, hadn’t come forth to confess.

Cao Zhen didn’t take direct action but instead ordered someone to always follow this person and observe their profound suffering.

The fluctuating Era Prosperity Power of the two earlier was sometimes dim and sometimes bright, but they always had it, indicating they always held Hundred Peaks Sect in their hearts.

However, the other person’s Era Prosperity Power often disappeared completely, clearly indicating their allegiance was more to their own power than to Hundred Peaks Sect.

For the moment, it was still unknown which force this person belonged to.

Cao Zhen didn’t expose them but chose to embark on another lecture tour.

In his notifications, he also made it clear that various sub-rankings would be established on the Dragon-Tiger Ranking, such as Alchemy Ranking, Sword Dao Ranking, Painting Way Ranking, etc.

Each ranking would be tallied every six months, and the top ten from each would receive a certain amount of points.

Before entering the ruins, Cao Zhen did alchemy while teaching the disciples of Hundred Peaks Sect, and it was quite effective—many disciples had moments of Enlightenment.

Now, he once again began to teach, and with so many disciples in Hundred Peaks Sect listening to his lectures, who knew which disciple might have an Enlightenment, which would be tremendously beneficial for their cultivation.

Cao Zhen lectured continuously for a month before ending the teaching tour.

He didn’t wait for the turncoat disciple to come forward and confess, but instead, another person came to him.

Little Duo Duo took the initiative to find him.

Speaking of which, since his return to Four Treasures Peak, he hadn’t paid much attention to Little Duo Duo and Little Zhu Peng, leaving most of the teaching to Ling Xi and others.

Now that he had been teaching for a month without giving them much guidance, Little Duo Duo finally couldn’t hold back any longer and came to him.

“Master, my cultivation progress has slowed down lately.

I wonder if you could help me?” Little Duo Duo walked alone into Cao Zhen’s Cave Mansion.

Cao Zhen looked up at Little Duo Duo, who had noticeably grown taller during her more than half a year at Hundred Peaks Sect, and suddenly spoke with a smile, “Little Duo Duo, your progress hasn’t only just slowed down.

You’ve been at the Grand Completion of Immortal Bridge for a while now, but since you came to Four Treasures Peak, your cultivation base has remained the same.”

In an instant, Little Duo Duo froze completely.

She, she had been seen through.
