My Master Knows It All

Cao Zhen felt that revealing the secrets discovered within the relic to others wouldn’t have any impact, since no one knew what kind of tests awaited in the rooms. They didn’t have the China Cloud, which allowed him to master everything and enter freely.

After informing everyone, he instructed Ling Xi and others not to go to those peaks anymore but to search elsewhere to see if there were other treasures in the relic. Meanwhile, he himself entered the mist once again.

On the mountain peak, everyone watched as Cao Zhen disappeared and Ling Xi flew away from the mountain, none of them truly believing Cao Zhen’s words.

”The tests inside the room are different from outside?”

”Who believes him!”

”This is the lifeline left by the Heavenly Dao for the Hundred Peaks Sect, surely Cao Zhen doesn’t want others to seize the treasures here.”

”But we don’t know which place he entered after going into that mist.”

”Let’s go to the next peak. There should be a hundred peaks here; not many people from the Hundred Peaks Sect have entered, they can’t take all the treasures. As long as we can seize one treasure, we can take it to negotiate with the Hundred Peaks Sect, sell it to them.”

Everyone quickly departed.

Although they didn’t believe, the news about Cao Zhen saying the tests inside the room were different from outside quickly spread.

On one of the peaks, near the top, outside a tower-like building, there was a painting displayed.

”Is this testing the Painting Way?”

Many, upon seeing the situation outside the building, flew away immediately, as none of them had someone proficient in the Painting Way.

They knew that before each Great Teaching undergoes a Sect Tribulation, the relics descended by the Heavenly Dao are generally related to that Great Teaching. Although the Hundred Peaks Sect isn’t a Great Teaching yet, there wouldn’t be any difference.

Thus, before entering the relic, they had gathered cultivators proficient in various Paths of Musical Rhythm, Painting Way, Dao of Calligraphy, Path of Poetry... all kinds, to enter the relic together.

However, the Hundred Peaks Sect doesn’t specialize in just one path, but rather diverse methods; they can’t understand everything and can only search for the peaks they are proficient in.

Some left, but others stepped forward.

A handsome man, holding a folding fan, exuding an air of confident and free-spirited charm, smiled as he walked directly towards the building.

”Young Master Xin Hua.”

Many around recognized the newcomer, and instead of leaving, they waited outside as Young Master Xin Hua arrived not alone, but with three others.

Young Master Xin Hua, Young Master Xin Shu, Young Master Xin Yin, and Young Master Xin Qi, the four always came together. Each of them was proficient in Painting Way, Dao of Calligraphy, Path of Musical Rhythm, and Chess respectively.

As Young Master Xin Hua entered the room, the door quickly closed, and soon after, loud crashing sounds came from inside, seemingly the sounds of spells clashing.

Outside, the expressions of Young Master Xin Shu and the other two changed drastically, looking worriedly at the room.

Suddenly, Young Master Xin Qi took out a jade pendant, glanced at it, and an expression of shock appeared on his face as he exclaimed, ”No, inside is not testing Painting Way, Xin Hua said it’s testing the Path of Musical Rhythm.”

”Path of Musical Rhythm?”

The crowd, staying at the site, was shocked upon hearing this.

”The tests inside truly differ from what they seem outside?”

”So what Cao Zhen said before wasn’t a lie!”

”Clearly it’s testing the Path of Musical Rhythm, yet Young Master Xin Hua entered. Then...”

Amongst the Four Heart Masters, Young Master Xin Yin rushed forward upon hearing it was testing the Path of Musical Rhythm inside, desperately trying to get inside, but no matter how hard he tried, the door remained firmly closed.

”Bang!”

Suddenly, in the next moment, the door opened automatically, and the corpse of Young Master Xin Hua flew out, while Young Master Xin Yin, who had been at the door, uncontrollably rushed into the room, the door closing again behind him.

”Xin Hua!”

Young Master Xin Shu and Young Master Xin Qi instantly dashed to the fallen Young Master Xin Hua.

Young Master Xin Hua’s body was covered in crisscrossing wounds, as if pierced by countless sharp blades.

Soon, loud spell clashing sounds came from the room once again, followed by Young Master Xin Qi picking up his jade pendant and looking at it. His eyes widened with disbelief as he exclaimed, ”No, Xin Yin said inside is not testing Path of Musical Rhythm but Path of Poetry! Xin Yin, he...”

In that instant, the hands of Young Master Xin Qi and Young Master Xin Shu trembled uncontrollably; it seemed Young Master Xin Yin also faced dire fate.

”Bang!”

Moments later, the room’s door opened, and the corpse of Young Master Xin Yin was thrown out.

In a short time, among the Four Heart Masters, two dear friends had died.

In the distance, those unfamiliar with the Four Heart Masters wouldn’t grieve like Young Master Xin Qi and Young Master Xin Shu. What mattered now was the situation in that room.

”The Four Heart Masters surely passed messages inside via the jade pendants, being life-and-death allies, they wouldn’t deceive each other.”

”The previous two definitely didn’t lie, yet once the next person enters, the path tested inside changes again.”

”It seems the room is more terrifying than we imagined; the paths tested inside aren’t fixed but change randomly. No one knows what kind of tests they’ll face once entering the room!”
