My Master Knows It All

How could he let these people freely enter the ruins!

Cao Zhen spoke, as if realizing something, and continued to add: ”Rest assured, after I seize the treasures, I won’t ask you for money or resources, nor will I sell these things to you. I’m just purely helping you, because I want to see our Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty produce a second Great Teaching.”

The crowd around them listened to Cao Zhen’s sincere words, each one deeply moved; this was the spirit of Sect Leader Cao!

No wonder Sect Leader Cao could reach such heights in his previous life. Cao Zhen saw another Great Teaching about to emerge and not only did he not interfere, he even offered to help.

Star Lord Hao Yue turned around upon hearing and glanced at everyone, whispering: ”We need to discuss this matter.”

Although he was the Sect Leader of the Eastern Wilderness Sect now, the situation of the Eastern Wilderness Sect was special. Furthermore, it had just been established, so he couldn’t be authoritarian.

Very soon, the high-level members of the Eastern Wilderness Sect, which were essentially the leaders of the fourteen previous sects, gathered together and began discussing among themselves.

”Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of Sect Leader Cao’s proposal?”

”I agree. The ruins are indeed dangerous. It’s fine for those in the Indestructible Period to enter, but for those in the Longevity Period, although they are also in the Earth Immortal Realm, once they get injured, their recovery speed is too slow. The risk for them entering the ruins is too great!”

”Let them stay. Our Eastern Wilderness Sect still needs to go through the Sect Tribulation. After the tribulation, we must continue to develop; it’s not enough just to become a Great Teaching.”

”Yes, in the future they’ll be pillars of strength for our Eastern Wilderness Sect, or rather our Eastern Wilderness Teaching. We can’t let them venture into danger.”

”Sect Leader Cao is not wrong. Back then, whether it was the ruins of the Five Sounds Sect or the Heaven Prayers Sect, or even their Bai Feng Sect’s own ruins, in the end, all the treasures were acquired by Sect Leader Cao.”

With Sect Leader Cao entering, even if we can’t get all the treasures, we should be able to acquire most of them.”

”Our Indestructible Period disciples will still enter, and we’ll let the other disciples stay. Speaking of which, Sect Leader Cao has indeed helped us greatly.

First, he helped us in pill refining, and now he is going to help us seize the treasures without asking for any reward, simply because we are also members of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, so he wants to help us. Later on, Sect Leader Cao is even going to help us with the Sect Tribulation!”

”Yes, Sect Leader Cao has really helped us a lot. If Sect Leader Cao were not the leader of the Bai Feng Sect, I would truly want him to become our Honorary Elder.”

”Hmm? It’s not impossible, why not invite Sect Leader Cao to be our Honorary Elder?”

Someone just proposed, and immediately someone opposed it.

”Are you kidding? Sect Leader Cao, being the leader of the Bai Feng Sect, then comes to us only as an elder, what does that imply? Are you suggesting that our Eastern Wilderness Teaching is above the Bai Feng Sect?

Moreover, Sect Leader Cao being the leader in Bai Feng Sect leads everyone, and here he would still have to be managed by someone?”

”Who said he needs to be managed? We could be flexible, couldn’t we? Rather than inviting Sect Leader Cao as our Honorary Elder, we could make him our Honorary Supreme Elder, couldn’t we?

Then we’ll specify that the Honorary Supreme Elder is not subject to anyone’s jurisdiction.”

”Oh? That’s a possibility.”

”Let’s first go to the ruins, seize the treasures there, and after we’ve passed the Sect Tribulation and truly become a Great Teaching, we’ll invite Sect Leader Cao. Even so, whether it’s as Honorary Supreme Elder, Sect Leader Cao may not necessarily accept.”

The Eastern Wilderness Sect’s members soon had all the Longevity Period disciples stay, while the others flew towards the ruins.

Three days later, the ruins opened.

Previously, Cao Zhen had always been speculating what kind of ruins these would be; they were typically inclined towards forces going through tribulation.

Like the ruins of the Five Sounds Sect, they directly focus on musical rhythm, while the Bai Feng Sect’s ruins were simply a hundred peaks.

As for the Eastern Wilderness Sect, it was formed by fourteen different Immortal Sects into a new sect, among which there were sects practicing the Scholar Path, Zen Cultivation, and the Cultivation of Immortal Sects, and more were like Bai Feng Sect, miscellaneous such as the Thousand Caves Door.

”Islands?”

Upon entering the ruins, Cao Zhen saw before him an immensely large island, and he flew into the void, looking afar, he could vaguely see another two islands beside this one. However, in the farther distance, he could not see further.

These kinds of ruins were part of a small thousand world, extremely vast; even with his current cultivation base, flying into the void, he couldn’t see the boundary at a glance.

He quickly entered the first island, and immediately, waves of Buddhist chanting echoed.

”An island of Zen Cultivation?”

Although Cao Zhen didn’t practice Zen himself, he had once connected with Xuan Zang, and he was very proficient in Zen Dao.

Soon, he obtained the treasure on the island—a golden wooden fish.

Immediately afterward, he flew towards the second island...

Island after island, Cao Zhen flew, discovering that this small thousand world conveniently had fourteen islands, each corresponding to one sect in the Eastern Wilderness Sect.

Some of these sects were those he was skilled at, such as Zen Dao, Sword Dao, Thousand Caves Door, etc., but some sects he wasn’t quite adept in. Fortunately, he had disciples.

Xiang Ziyu and Linghu Gudu both claimed the treasures from two islands; the only difference was, Xiang Ziyu did it alone while Linghu Gudu, with help from his senior sister, seized the treasures from two sects.
