My Master Knows It All

1058: Chapter 276_4 1058: Chapter 276_4 However, after Cao Zhen returned, he never revealed what treasure he had obtained, and naturally, no one felt it appropriate to press him further.

Now, as Cao Zhen suddenly unleashed such terrifying power, even surpassing the limits of the Golden Core Stage and invoking a Heavenly Tribulation, it was very likely that the methods and artifacts he utilized were from the final treasures of the Peerless Relics.

With one strike, Cao Zhen killed a host of Corpse Generals, and for a moment, the leaderless Zombie Soldiers became disordered.

On the city walls, the disciples of the Grand Preceptor who had been defending, as well as the descendants of the relic’s explorers, immediately charged down.

Although Zombie Soldiers were much stronger than ordinary soldiers, they could not compare to Cultivators.

If they could kill Cultivators, even those at the Golden Core Stage, they would be Corpse Generals, not mere Zombie Soldiers.

Previously, the reason why the disciples and descendants of the Grand Preceptor had not killed these Zombie Soldiers was the presence of over sixty Corpse Generals.

Now, with all the Corpse Generals slain and the Golden Core masters taking action, the Zombie Soldiers began to fall one after another.

Even as the Zombie Soldiers died, they did not stop; instead, they rushed towards the Blood River.

After Cao Zhen was knocked to the ground, he began to recuperate.

Seeing everyone charging towards the Blood River, he too got up and flew towards it.

Although such a short time would not allow him to return to his peak state, it was still enough to let him fight again without significant impairment.

Within the Blood River, while blood creatures continued to emerge, with Duo Duo and Zhu Peng joining the fray, Yu Tuoyu and the others had gained the upper hand.

As the Corpse Generals and Zombie Soldiers were dealt with, everyone plunged into the Blood River, and the horde of Demonic Beasts within were quickly suppressed.

They even had time to wait for the Demonic Beasts to appear before slaughtering them.

After helping everyone suppress the Demonic Beasts, Cao Zhen quickly looked at Yu Tuoyu and asked, “Are there materials left to set up the Formation?

I’ll complete it.”

The Blood River was too vast, and it was impossible for them to do nothing and continuously guard it, endlessly slaying and suppressing the Demonic Beasts.

“Master has left materials behind, State Preceptor, please follow me.”

Yu Tuoyu promptly led Cao Zhen into the Capital City.

After fetching a sufficient amount of materials, Cao Zhen completed the Formation.

Now, during the Reversal Mini Epoch Period, some Formations were impossible to establish, and Cao Zhen could only set up one within the limitations of the Golden Core Stage.

The Formation would not guarantee that no Demonic Beasts would emerge from the Blood River.

However, as long as people were stationed here, the occasional appearance of Demonic Beasts would not pose a major issue.

Once the Blood River was stabilized, Cao Zhen led Duo Duo and Zhu Peng into the Capital City.

Although he was the State Preceptor, he did not directly participate in the governance of the nation nor involve himself in political affairs.

Instead, he took Duo Duo and Zhu Peng around the Capital City.

More than fifty years ago, when he came to the Capital City for the Martial Competition among the Immortals, it was already prosperous.

But now, as he strolled through the Capital City again, he found it even more flourishing than before.

In the past, the Capital City’s prosperity was mostly due to it being the heart of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.

Although people from other dynasties would visit the Capital City, their numbers were limited for various reasons.

When peace was maintained throughout the Eastern Wasteland, and the great dynasties no longer waged war against one another, more and more people began to flood into the Capital City.

In time, the entire city reached an unprecedented level of prosperity.

He even saw many medicinal herbs in the Capital City that he had not seen before.

The Capital City was so vast that after staying there for seven days with Zhu Peng and Duo Duo, they left the Capital City and returned to the Hundred Peaks Sect.

In East Breeze, the people of the Eastern Wasteland divided into ten groups, each led by a powerhouse, including Ling Xi, Yan Yourong, Xiang Ziyu, Bei Yan, Yi Sheng, Li Ke – ten individuals from the Hundred Peaks Sect were responsible for leading.

Their goal was to visit every Immortal Sect in East Breeze.

They were not to miss any, and they were to demand resources from each one.

Although they split into ten groups, the vast number of Cultivators from the Eastern Wasteland, each group accompanied by a powerhouse, had truly intimidated East Breeze.

As they advanced, the various Immortal Sects of East Breeze initially offered all sorts of refusals and excuses.

But in the end, without exception, they all gave in and provided resources.

Offering the opposing party compensation in resources was certainly better than having one’s own Immortal Sect annihilated.

After all, if they couldn’t overpower their adversaries, what could they do when their own provocative actions earlier, aimed at seizing others’ resources, resulted in others now coming to plunder theirs?

Fortunately, the people from the Eastern Wasteland did not take all the resources of an Immortal Sect outright.

Although they came seeking a vast amount, they still left some resources for the sects.

The Eastern Wasteland Cultivators also knew that if they truly took away all the resources of an Immortal Sect by force, then the sects of East Breeze would undoubtedly fight to the death.

Should that occur, the Immortal Cultivation World of East Breeze would unite once again to fight desperately.

Even though they had won the first battle, and would likely win again in a direct conflict, another war would certainly result in casualties.

Especially if the opponents fought to the death and self-destructed, they could not fathom how many would perish.

Thus, they left some leeway, so the others would not resort to desperate measures.
