My Master Knows It All

They entered this place because of the dangers present between Heaven and Earth, always needing to concentrate their celestial energy, constantly surrounded by body protection spells, which also consumed their energy.

Moreover, sometimes they would face attacks like heavenly lightning, so after seven days, the celestial energy within them was somewhat affected.

”I know that your consumption may not be as high, but this Outer Heaven Battlefield is truly too dangerous. Here, we need to remain focused at all times and try to stay in peak state as much as possible.

Therefore, seven days is almost the limit. We all need to rest and adjust our state.”

As he spoke, Venerable Gui Jian flew directly into a cave, then looked at everyone and said, ”We’ll rest here first. Dao Companions from the Extreme Formation Sect, please set up some defenses at the cave’s edge, but not outside, to avoid being discovered by others.”

”Okay.” Venerable Illumination Formation responded, stopping at the cave’s edge and quickly studying the formation. Although they hadn’t been together long, everyone noticed that the fourth team was extremely respectful of Venerable Gui Jian and followed his orders absolutely.

They were also very grateful to Venerable Gui Jian for his careful reminders about what to watch for in the Outer Heaven Battlefield.

Inside the cave, Venerable Gui Jian and his companions walked deeper, exploring as they went. The cave was much larger than it appeared from the outside. Later, they needed to meditate and breathe here, so naturally, they wanted to check out the cave’s interior conditions thoroughly.

As they walked, the usually quiet Vice-Captain, Venerable South Pole, whispered, ”Don’t you find it strange that in the Hundred Peaks Sect, there is someone named Cao Zhen who is said to be only in the Early Immortality Regainment Realm, yet everyone in the Hundred Peaks Sect respects him exceedingly. Even Venerable Nanhe, who is in the Late Immortality Regainment Realm, shows him particular respect, more than to others.”

”Maybe Cao Zhen is a man of greater seniority, perhaps a martial uncle or ancestor. Regardless of life aura, some people’s masters are of higher seniority, so naturally, their seniority is higher.

Maybe the master Cao Zhen apprenticed under is a predecessor of the Hundred Peaks Sect, so people naturally respect him.”

Hearing this, Venerable South Pole shook his head and said, ”No, that kind of respect cannot be simply because of seniority—it’s a respect I can’t quite describe.

Moreover, even if you’re right and the Hundred Peaks Sect respects him, what about the people from the Extreme Formation Sect? I can sense they also respect Cao Zhen greatly.

That doesn’t make sense. Although the Extreme Formation Sect’s combat power isn’t strong, they really excel at formations, and many great teachings have good relations with them, often seeking their help. In Central Continent, the Extreme Formation Sect’s standing among great teachings is decent.

Why would they show such respect to someone from a great teaching in Eastern Province? It can’t just be because they are now in someone else’s territory.”

”Yes, I find it strange, too.” Hearing this, Venerable Three-Eyes spoke up, ”Previously on the road, we encountered a tornado and a few attacks from Heaven and Earth, and I even saw Cao Zhen release the Immortal Mountain. It seemed he released it effortlessly, as if he wasn’t exerting his full strength at all.

I suspect he isn’t actually in the Early Immortality Regainment Realm; perhaps he is in the Late Immortality Regainment Realm, or even at the peak of it.”

”Oh? If that’s the case, then everything would make sense!”

”Hidden strength, we’re all from the Human Clan. Why would he need to conceal his strength?”

”We’re all from the Human Clan, yet others don’t necessarily know us well. Hiding some strength isn’t a bad thing, is it?” Venerable Three-Eyes said, even glancing at Venerable Gui Jian.

Venerable Gui Jian seemed not to notice Venerable Three-Eyes’ gaze. Instead, he suddenly seemed to think of something, whispering, ”Haven’t you heard of the Hundred Peaks Sect? I remember waking up and hearing someone mention the Hundred Peaks Sect.

It was said that after we were dead and gone, a master from the Hundred Peaks Sect in Eastern Province traveled around hunting masters of the six major alien races, especially entering each of the small thousand worlds within the six major alien races.

That person achieved the pinnacle in the Earth Immortal Realm even higher in the spells and techniques.

”Oh, I’ve heard this from my sect juniors too. Now that Venerable Gui Jian mentioned it, recalling it, it seems my juniors indeed referred to the Hundred Peaks Sect.”

”Yes, I’ve heard about that too, but I didn’t pay much attention to the sect. After all, they’re not from our era, and upon awakening, we faced such a severe situation, preparing to relocate our sect without understanding everything fully, so we didn’t inquire about these matters.”

”Everyone is more or less in the same boat. Venerable Gui Jian, what made you bring this up suddenly?”

While observing the surroundings, Venerable Gui Jian whispered, ”Nothing, just a thought that occurred to me.

Besides, I wondered how strong someone who reached the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm might be after entering the Immortality Regainment Realm?”

”No matter how strong, they couldn’t become overly powerful. That person might not have broken through to the Immortality Regainment Realm, and even if they did, it would be the Early Immortality Regainment Realm at most. The Hundred Peaks Sect wouldn’t allow such a genius to enter the Outer Heaven Battlefield so soon.”

Venerable Three-Eyes replied casually, the next moment, his eyes swept into the distance, and in an instant, his pupils widened, revealing a third eye between them. This third eye shot out a silver beam of light, within which vague shadows of flying insects appeared.

These insects were entirely emerald green, about the size of dragonflies, but their tails had a stinger like a scorpion’s, longer than their bodies.

Soon, the rapid flapping of wings was heard, its noise particularly piercing within the cave.

”Insect Clan, so many of them!”

”Not good, we’ve entered a nest of insects!”

”With so many venomous insects, there might be a Insect Clan queen here!”

”Run, let’s get out of here!”

Everyone’s faces changed dramatically as they turned around, rushing out. In the distant battlefield, the last thing they wanted to encounter was the Insect Clan!
