My Master Knows It All

Besides, the treasures of his disciples also need to be updated.

As for the remaining materials, they are naturally various immortal mines, which can enhance his physical strength when consumed.

After Cao Zhen finished discussing the materials, he looked at the group of demons before him and reminded them, ”Don’t rush to prepare materials just yet, as you all belong to the Demon Clan. I cannot guarantee I can help each one of you improve.

First, tell me about the paths you are taking, and we will slowly consider them. If I cannot assist you, you don’t need to gather those materials.”

He truly found it difficult to help some demons, as many of the paths followed by demons are unique to their own clans.

However, after hearing the paths of these demons, he realized that he could indeed help quite a few. Demons understand the Painting Way, Dao of Calligraphy, and Musical Rhythm, with a good number walking these paths, such as the Poison Path, which he can naturally assist with.

Looking over them, he has actually tried his best to narrow down the demons he can advise. For some he might or might not be able to help, he bluntly stated he couldn’t assist. Even so, more than a hundred demon half-step golden immortals stood before him by the end.

When advising the human clan, he first advised the human half-step golden immortals and then let them settle the payment.

But the demons were different; who knows if these demons would renege on payment? So he collected payment first, then advised; whoever provided enough resources first was advised first.

Moreover, he noticed that these demons have very high perception, and they have lived for untold ages. Some demons gained enlightenment with just a slight indication, and after enlightenment, the demon inevitably broke through within a month, then faced a heavenly tribulation.

Some demons didn’t gain enlightenment, but after he pointed out the path, they broke through in three months.

As one demon after another began to break through, the cultivators from other clans in the Great Thousand World couldn’t remain idle.

”Why do demons have so many breakthroughs into the Golden Immortal Realm?”

”In just over half a year, nearly twenty breakthroughs into the Golden Immortal Realm!”

”The demons are just like the humans now?”

”It must be Cao Zhen, definitely that Cao Zhen. I heard news earlier that Cao Zhen entered the Demon Clan, and soon, one half-step golden immortal after another in the Demon Clan started breaking through. Who wouldn’t believe there’s a connection?”

”But the key is that demons aren’t humans, they’re not one clan. Can Cao Zhen still advise them?”

”Has Cao Zhen gone mad? They’re allies with the demons now, but isn’t he afraid that one day the demons will turn against them, becoming enemies of the human clan?”

”I simply don’t understand; the Demon Clan is second only to the Sky Clan. Isn’t Cao Zhen worried that a stronger Sky Clan would further shrink the survival space of the human clan?”

Cultivators of the Evil Clan and Sky Clan grew anxious.

Whereas cultivators from the Demon Clan, Beast Clan, and Prison Clan grew excited.

”It’s surely because of the human clan’s Cao Zhen. Immortal Lord Lin Feng is now in the Demon Clan, and she saw firsthand as Cao Zhen advised those demon cultivators.”

”Cao Zhen is allied with the Demon Clan, but equally, we are allies with the human clan. Cao Zhen’s wife is within the Demon Clan, but don’t we have connections too? Tell Immortal Lord Lin Feng to bring Cao Zhen to the Prison Clan immediately after advising the demon cultivators, so he can assist our Prison Clan’s half-step golden immortals!”

”Our Beast Clan’s dao companion, tell Immortal Lord Yao Tu to ensure Cao Zhen is brought into the Beast Clan.”

It took Cao Zhen a year to advise all those demon half-step golden immortal experts. Before he could rest, Immortal Lord Lin Feng’s cold voice sounded: ”Let’s go to the Prison Clan; their half-step golden immortals are ready.”

Before Cao Zhen could speak, Ju E expressed displeasure: ”Cao Zhen came this time to discuss with our Demon Clan’s high-level about the dao companion ceremony between him and my dao companion. We haven’t discussed the dao companion ceremony yet, and you’re letting him leave?”

”For him to go through the dao companion ceremony with me, he’s been with your Demon Clan for a year. You haven’t discussed the dao companion ceremony this whole time; who’s to blame for that?” Immortal Lord Lin Feng’s voice remained cold as usual.

Ultimately, Cao Zhen followed Immortal Lord Lin Feng and her group, as he had already assisted the Demon Clan, and the Prison Clan was also an ally. There’s no justification to help the Demon Clan without aiding the Prison Clan.

Compared to the Demon Clan, the Prison Clan had far fewer half-step golden immortals. The number of Prison Clan half-step golden immortals before him even numbered less than those from the human clan, exactly one hundred.

Of these hundred half-step golden immortals, he could help even fewer, only twenty-five.

He spent a year in the Demon Clan, but only three months with the Prison Clan.

Unlike the human clan, both the Demon and Prison Clans, even though they were well-prepared, with ample treasures and pills, still had many cultivators perish under the heavenly tribulation.

Cao Zhen roughly calculated that about a quarter of cultivators from both clans died during these tribulations.

In truth, this is a normal phenomenon; the ease with which humans undergo tribulations is decidedly atypical.

And he still doesn’t understand why the heavenly tribulations faced by the human clan are significantly easier.
