My Master Knows It All

”This mask...” Cao Zhen picked up the mask and examined it. As he took out the Blood Coagulation Crystal and pressed it against the mask, a stream of information quickly appeared in his mind.

”This mask is called the Illusionary Divine Veil. It is a Mid Grade Earth Level Treasure. It cannot attack but can defend. It also has the ability to change one’s appearance, disguise an Immortal Mountain, even disguise an Immortal Palace, and also disguise Treasures.

Although this mask is mainly used for defense, perhaps the disguising function of the veil is more significant.”

Cao Zhen put away the mask and continued walking forward. With his current cultivation base, there was nothing worth hiding in this Immortality Regainment Realm battlefield.

He stepped forward and started his journey ahead.

Gradually, along the way, he began to encounter various dangers. In some areas, there were terrifying thunderstorms, as if undergoing a Heavenly Tribulation.

In other places, hurricanes would sweep through, so terrifying that even he was nearly carried away.

There were also torrential rains filled with poisonous energy and more...

Apart from these dangers, he also started to encounter monsters. These monsters indeed resembled the ones he encountered in the Mystic Clan ruins. They almost universally had one feature: many tentacles.

Their strength was clearly much stronger than those he encountered in the Mystic Clan’s Secret Realm.

Cao Zhen even discovered that as he progressed, the number of these monsters increased. As for other Alien Races, after a year of walking, he encountered none.

Meanwhile, news of Cao Zhen entering the Misty Passage spread quickly across the world!

”I knew that Cao Zhen would eventually enter the Misty Passage. After all, there are simply too many treasures within!”

”With him in the Misty Passage, it might ease our burden somewhat.”

”I wonder when he’ll come back!”

”He might be exploring in there for some years.”

”His disciples have already achieved Town Immortal, yet he hasn’t become a True Immortal? Could it be that Cao Zhen plans to stay in the Immortality Regainment Realm to suppress us?”

”Impossible! No cultivator would resist the temptation of the True Immortal Realm and choose not to break through!”

Cao Zhen didn’t bother to hide himself, so his entry into the Misty Passage was hardly a secret.

Various races even specifically stationed people outside the Misty Passage to watch for his return so they could restrain themselves a little.

But a year, two years...

Before anyone knew it, thirty years had passed, and Cao Zhen still had not returned from the Misty Passage.

For a time, all sorts of rumors spread.

”It’s been thirty years, and he still hasn’t returned. No matter how vast the Misty Passage is, he should have returned by now!”

”Indeed! He can’t possibly have gone through the Misty Passage to the other side, entering the True Immortal Realm battlefield, right?”

”How could that be? Back then, our allied forces from various races attempted to explore the Misty Passage, yet even with so many experts, the entire expedition was wiped out!

No matter how strong Cao Zhen is, he’s just one person. He couldn’t possibly contend with the combined forces of our six allied races.

Even with the six races allied, they couldn’t fully explore the Misty Passage. How could Cao Zhen accomplish it!”

”Do you think it’s possible that Cao Zhen died in the Misty Passage?”

”That can’t be ruled out!”

”Unlikely. Cao Zhen is no fool. Even if he did encounter danger, he would flee, wouldn’t he? Who could catch or detain him?”

”Thirty years is too short a time. Let’s continue to observe.”

Inside the Misty Passage, Cao Zhen forged ahead. The Misty Passage was indeed vast, but the reason he moved so slowly was the sheer number of monsters.

Eventually, the Misty Passage seemed filled with those monsters.

Unbeknownst to him, he had spent a century in the Misty Passage, mostly occupied with slaying these monsters.

Of course, where there were many monsters, there were many treasures.

In places he passed, there were even traces of activities and battles from various races. But certainly not where he stood now, which lacked any cultivator activity, and those monsters seemed uninterested in Immortal Herbs; they didn’t eat them, leaving all these for him.

He even picked the long-sought Enlightenment Fruit and discovered some rare Immortal Herbs unseen outside.

”Since I got the Enlightenment Fruit, I ought to return, but I’m curious about what’s beyond. Is it really the True Immortal Realm battlefield?”

Cao Zhen looked into the distance where the mist seemed thicker, like when he first entered the Misty Passage.

Having come this far, why not go and see?

Cao Zhen slew the last giant tentacle monster in front of him and stepped forward. In the next moment, the void suddenly shifted before his eyes.

He felt as though he had entered another world.

Here, the air was fresh, the spiritual energy was abundant, and the sunshine, as it streamed down, made one feel a sense of indescribable comfort and ease.

He felt that after entering this place, he seemed continuously sheltered and blessed by the Heavenly Dao.

He even gazed at the surrounding trees, sensing vague insights in his mind.

”What is going on here? How did it turn out like this all of a sudden?”
