My Master Knows It All

Chapter 1849: Chapter 408_5

Now Cao Zhen wanted to go to the Central Continent first, which was also a good thing for them; through Cao Zhen, they could learn about the current situation in the Central Continent.

Cao Zhen nodded to the crowd and stepped into the mist ahead.

Now he was already at the extreme of the Immortal Path Domain, but upon entering this mist, his eyes could only see about two meters in front of him; beyond that, nothing was clear, and even if it was, one could only see a vast expanse of whiteness.

However, amidst this expanse of white, a distinct darkness appeared.

“This darkness is the crevice.”

Cao Zhen stepped forward to the crevice and stepped over it.

Without any obstruction, he walked in.

In the next step, he found himself in a patch of white mist again.

“This should be the white mist on the Central Continent side.”

Cao Zhen walked a few steps along with the white mist and walked out of its range, looking ahead, seeing desolation in sight.

All around were bare mountains, barely any plants on them; the whole world was silent, so quiet that he almost doubted whether there was any life other than himself in this world.

“What’s going on? Is this the Central Continent?” Cao Zhen paused, the Central Continent in front of him was somewhat different from what he imagined. He had heard many people talk about the Central Continent, so the Central Continent in his imagination should be incredibly prosperous.

Even if this place was remote, it should be filled with spiritual energy. If the spiritual energy was sufficient, then the vegetation should be rich.

But there was hardly any plant life here, and the ground beneath his feet showed no signs of cracking, clearly not a place with long-term droughts, which was rather strange.

“Forget it, perhaps this place is just too remote, better to head towards a place spoken of by others.”

Behind Cao Zhen, silver wings appeared, and with that, his whole body suddenly flew towards the west.

He had previously been in the Eastern Province, and after entering the Central Continent, he would naturally be on the side facing the Eastern Province, flying west would naturally not be wrong.

This whole region was too desolate, and with his current cultivation base, he continuously flew for an hour before finally seeing a mountain gate in the distance.

He accelerated and flew to the front of the mountain gate, looked up, and was completely dumbfounded.

“Ruins, was this mountain gate destroyed? This mountain gate doesn’t look small…”

Cao Zhen helplessly shook his head, turned around, and continued flying forward. After the time of one incense stick, he saw a city, but like that mountain gate, this city had also turned into ruins.

“Was this city destroyed too? Was it because the sect was destroyed, so this city was destroyed as well? But the problem is, usually, when someone destroys a sect, there’s no need to destroy a nearby city as well, right? How deep must the hatred be, to destroy even the nearby cities?”

Cao Zhen flew around the city in surprise and continued flying forward, but the farther he flew, the more shocked he became; he saw another three cities and a sect, but whether it was the sect or those three cities, they all were in ruins.

It was only after flying for another time of one incense stick that he saw an enormously large city.

This city appeared no smaller than the Capital City of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, but nearly half of its walls had collapsed. Flying in the void, he could see that many buildings in the city had also been destroyed.

This great city had nearly half of it destroyed,

But even so, he could still see residents walking around in the city, seemingly unaffected.

“It’s really strange, how could there be so many destroyed cities, destroyed sects, and this city was half destroyed, yet they don’t even restore it, and these people still live here.”

Cao Zhen, curious, flew down from the sky, landing directly outside the city.

Just as he landed, four figures quickly descended from the broken city gate.

Seeing his appearance, these four immediately sighed softly.

“It’s one of us.”

“Let’s go back.”

With that, the four quickly returned.

Cao Zhen was completely stunned, what did that mean? One of us? He was in the Central Continent for the first day, having no relation whatsoever with the Central Continent, how did they know he was one of them?

Moreover, since he was entering the Central Continent, he wasn’t wearing any clothing representing a Great Teaching, how did they figure out he was one of them?

Though puzzled, he didn’t ask but walked towards the city. He was, after all, an outsider, what if he accidentally gave himself away inquiring rashly?

Better to first enter the city. Such a large city, with so many people, how could he not find out what happened to the Central Continent or this area.

In the city, mortals lived their lives as usual; he couldn’t detect any tension or panic from their faces, almost as if the destruction of many buildings in the city had nothing to do with them.

Or perhaps they had gotten used to such a state?

Cao Zhen walked through streets sensing the aura of cultivators, heading towards the distance.

Soon, in his sight, appeared a street.

Above this street were three large words—Immortal Market, clearly a place specially dealing with immortals’ businesses, the people in the Immortal Market were obviously much fewer than outside.
