My Master Knows It All

When first entering this Killing Battlefield, it was an endless plain, but as they delved deeper, mountains, rivers, and lakes began to appear.

Cao Zhen was one hundred percent certain that the mountain before him was the tallest he had seen since entering the Killing Battlefield.

Judging by eye, this mountain’s height definitely exceeds over five thousand zhang.

If they could use fairy energy, they would fly directly to the top of the mountain, but now they can only climb it.

A mountain over five thousand zhang high cannot simply be flown straight up.

The mountain needs to be climbed.

Moreover, the terrain here is extremely steep.

Even though they were without fairy energy, everyone expended considerable effort to reach the summit.

When they were halfway up the mountain, the path ahead was covered with ice and snow. Now, having reached the top, they were amazed to find that the very top had no ice or snow at all, and that the vegetation there was unusually lush.

In the center of this vegetation was a lake.

Ju E walked to the lake, pointed downward, and said, ”There is a strike at the bottom of this lake; we enter from here.”

As she spoke, she grabbed Cao Zhen and jumped directly into the lake.

Although they couldn’t use fairy energy, everyone present was at the True Immortal Realm. Even the weakest in physical terms, the three Immortal Lord Yun Huo, could hold their breath for a long time, and the lake wasn’t deep. Before long, they reached the lake bottom.

At the lake bottom stood a giant altar.

Ju E held onto Cao Zhen and waited outside the altar for a moment. Upon seeing the others and the Demon clan she brought come along, she led Cao Zhen into the altar.

Suddenly, Cao Zhen felt a sensation of weightlessness.

But, in just the span of a breath, his feet touched solid ground.

Very quickly, exclamations came from all around him.

”The air here is so unique.”

”Indeed, while we cannot currently use fairy energy, I feel a special comfort breathing this air! There’s even a sensation of transcending mortal bounds.”

”These flowers, grasses, and trees—I don’t recognize a single one!”

”Me neither, what are these?”

”Feels like the Ancient Era!”

Cao Zhen looked around. The vegetation here was indeed rare in the Great Thousand World, yet they were ordinary flowers and grasses.

While everyone whispered in surprise, a slight, bell-like sound rose from below.

Huh?

This sound...

Suddenly, he turned his gaze to several brown wild grasses. He quickly took a few steps forward and grabbed the wild grass.

His brows gently furrowed.

Ju E noticed Cao Zhen’s actions and curiously asked, ”What’s wrong? Is this some precious medicinal herb?”

Upon hearing this, Immortal Lord Yun Huo quickly ran to the nearest brown wild grass and reached out to pull it up.

”It isn’t. To my knowledge, this wild grass is useful at most for making one, no, two types of Pills that replenish energy, and even then, only in small quantities.

Besides, many other herbs can replace it, and even yield better results, so it pretty much has no medicinal value.”

Immortal Lord Yun Huo had already uprooted a brown wild grass. Upon hearing this, she swung her arm and tossed the wild grass to the ground, complaining, ”If it’s worthless, then why hold on to it?

But you are well-informed; none of us recognize these wild grasses, yet you do.”

Upon hearing this, Ju E couldn’t help but smile, secretly amused. If you knew the person before you is the Hundred Peaks Sect Leader, the most elite Alchemy Master among your Human Clan, you surely wouldn’t be so surprised.

Cao Zhen pointed to the wild grass and said, ”It’s called Acoustic Fern. They have a significant trait: their roots, instead of growing continuously downward, grow approximately one zhang underground and then spread sideways.

Eventually, their roots intertwine with each other. Furthermore, Acoustic Ferns are highly prolific and can thrive even in the harshest environments.

Thus, Acoustic Ferns never appear in small patches but in vast expanses.

There must be Acoustic Ferns farther off. Also, they have one more characteristic...”

Cao Zhen lifted his leg and stepped on the Acoustic Fern. Suddenly, all the surrounding Acoustic Ferns gently vibrated, faintly emitting a bell-like sound.

”See? Just stand on them, and they’ll make a faint sound—hence their name. We just stepped onto them.

Their roots are connected, so the distant Acoustic Ferns will also gently vibrate and ring.

I do not know how large this small world is, but it’s very likely that Acoustic Ferns cover it extensively.”

Ju E immediately understood why Cao Zhen singled out the Acoustic Ferns. She said in a deep voice, ”So, the Seventh Prince of the Sky Clan is very likely aware that cultivators have entered this small world!

After all, they had entered these remains long ago, and even if they don’t recognize the Acoustic Ferns, they haven’t been here long enough to notice their pattern. They’re certain to already know the traits of these Acoustic Ferns.”

With that, her expression became serious, and she whispered, ”We need to be careful; they could very well set up an ambush ahead.”

Deep within the ruins.

In the endless plain, nine Sky Clan members slowly advanced, accompanied by four Prison clan members and four Evil clan members.

Suddenly, the surrounding Acoustic Ferns began to gently ring.

Among the nine Sky Clan members, a pale-skinned man with somewhat delicate looks suddenly furrowed his brows, speaking gravely, ”Cultivators have entered the ruins. Judging from the sound, there are quite a few of them, likely matching us in number.

Prince, what should we do?”

In the center of the nine Sky Clan members was a handsome man dressed in a long, golden robe, with a noble demeanor. Upon hearing this, he sneered.

”So many cultivators—seems that little fox couldn’t hold back and brought her followers here. I’m curious, though, whether she’s allied with someone. Is it other experts from the Demon Clan, her mortal enemies from the Beast Clan, or the Human Clan?”
