My Master Knows It All

Sword Lord Yu Hua noticed the dissatisfaction on Cao Zhen’s face and quickly explained, ”He didn’t reveal his identity to everyone, only to me and Senior Brother. That’s why Senior Brother is asking you now, Hundred Peaks Sect Leader, when no one else is around.”

”Well, he’s quite wise,” Cao Zhen finally revealed a satisfied smile, not because he was pleased with Linghu Gudu’s actions, but because he was satisfied with Sword Lord Yu Hua’s attitude, already speaking in favor of Linghu Gudu, not bad at all.

”Let’s not speak of him for now, and you should also temporarily avoid telling others of his identity. Although I will be leaving soon, that kid will still be with you. Now then, let’s discuss swordsmanship.”

When he said discussing swordsmanship, it was actually Cao Zhen teaching the two siblings swordsmanship. His swordsmanship involved his own insights, the Sword Dao of Martial Immortal Helian Baitian, and even the Sword Dao of Fairy QiongXiao. He also interacted with many people, gaining numerous experiences and insights into the Sharp Sword of Sword Dao and fighting with those skilled in swordsmanship.

He had no problem teaching these two swordsmanship.

Sword Lord Hua Yu and Sword Lord Yu Hua greatly benefited, but unfortunately, the time was too short.

Without realizing it, morning came. Cao Zhen bid farewell to the two and proceeded into the distance, seeking the Insect Clan.

Once alone, his speed noticeably increased, and with his current strength, he did not stop even during the night.

As he delved deeper, he encountered more alien races, yet none were of the Insect Clan.

Without realizing it, three months had passed.

Suddenly, a buzzing sound could be heard.

In Cao Zhen’s vision, ten insect-like creatures appeared, roughly human-sized, clad in hard armor, with scythe-like claws before them.

”Finally, Soldier Bugs!”

Cao Zhen was delighted and swiftly charged at the Soldier Bugs, his golden sharp sword slashing downward at the forefront bug.

This strike did not utilize his full strength.

Yet similarly, the Soldier Bug slashed down its scythe-like claw. Almost at the same time, the golden sharp sword and the claw struck its body.

Instantly, sparks flew from the Soldier Bug’s body.

An unusual look appeared in Cao Zhen’s eyes. Although he hadn’t used full power in this strike, against previous encounters with worm-like Soldier Bugs, it would have pierced them through. However, this strike only left cracks in its armor without completely penetrating its body.

The defensive capability of these Soldier Bugs far exceeded those worm-like bugs and surpassed all Soldier Bugs he previously encountered.

Of course, these Soldier Bugs have much weaker attack capabilities. When worm-like Soldier Bug claws landed on him, they left red marks, but the scythe-like claws of these Soldier Bugs couldn’t even leave a scratch.

However, it didn’t matter, as long as there was a balance.

What he needed was a Soldier Bug army, not just one type of Soldier Bug. In any army, there would certainly be tank warriors; isn’t this the perfect tank?

Strong defense or not, it wouldn’t take much effort to kill them.

Cao Zhen returned the sharp sword into the Heaven and Earth Ring and brought out the Purple Dawn Sword instead.

In such instances, using a sharper sword was more appropriate, especially since he could deploy poisonous energy.

Cao Zhen instantly infused poisonous energy onto the sharp sword and thrust it at the Soldier Bug before him.

In the blink of an eye, nine out of ten Soldier Bugs had fallen, and the last one, producing strange noises, flew toward the back.

Clearly, this Soldier Bug was seeking reinforcements.

Cao Zhen quickly followed, leaving this Soldier Bug intentionally to summon help and bring more Soldier Bugs; otherwise, how could he find their nest!

Soon, more Soldier Bugs appeared in his vision.

Cao Zhen continued hunting them down, searching in reverse direction, and finally discovered the Queen Bug in a concealed underground cave.

Just as he identified the Queen Bug, the entire sky suddenly changed, countless stars emerged.

He had experienced this situation once before, that exact moment when the rules of Heaven and Earth altered.

So, the rules of Heaven and Earth changed again?

Could he be so unlucky, having just found the Queen Bug, and the rules of Heaven and Earth change? He didn’t even know the cultivation realm of this Queen Bug, and if it were a Peak True Immortal Realm capable of using immortal energy, it would be troublesome.

A single Queen Bug would be manageable; the greater concern would be if it consistently produced Soldier Bugs.

The change lasted only a moment, then Cao Zhen suddenly laughed; this was the change? There was no change at all?

Not quite, there were still some changes, like being unable to exert poisonous energy, but similarly, immortal energy couldn’t be used.

This change barely affected him.

Though the Queen Bug’s body was extremely hard, it couldn’t be harder than his physical body; moreover, he had the Purple Dawn Sword.

With just a bit more effort, he heavily injured the Queen Bug and then let his own Queen Bug deal with it before continuing forward.
