My Master Knows It All

There’s no need to mention Venerable Wu Xin.

Neither of them knows how to cook.

Cao Zhen looked at the dishes, darker than any dark cuisine, and felt touched. These two, one a True Immortal Realm cultivator, the other an Immortality Regainment Realm cultivator, cooked because he was hungry.

They truly regarded him as family.

Even though he had only just joined the Reincarnation Palace, just recently becoming a disciple.

”Well, actually I know how to cook. Why don’t I do it instead?”

Cao Zhen quickly took the spatula from their hands and began to cook while teaching, ”Master, you need to add oil first. If you don’t, it’ll definitely stick to the pan. Also, the heat shouldn’t be too high at first; increase it gradually...”

In a short time, a sumptuous meal was ready.

Even though Immortal Lord Wu Hui, Venerable Wu Xin, and Venerable You Xin no longer needed to eat due to their cultivation base, they still ate with Cao Zhen.

Venerable Wu Xin listened as Cao Zhen described his moment of enlightenment and nodded, ”Actually, we are also experiencing reincarnation.”

She pointed to the food on the table, ”With the exception of us, the little junior disciple will eventually digest this food. Later, the waste can be used as fertilizer in the soil, which is also a form of reincarnation.”

”Pfft...”

Venerable You Xin spat out his food, looking resentfully at his senior sister. Not during a meal—it would be better to discuss this later.

While he was pondering this, Venerable Wu Xin shook her head again.

”No, that’s not reincarnation, because the food we eat does not become new food afterwards.

So, what is reincarnation? Everything in the world cycles through reincarnation, so why doesn’t this food?”

”No, there is reincarnation.” Cao Zhen interjected suddenly, ”If the ones eating the food were ordinary farmers.

Because of eating this food, they survive, and only then can they plant more grain and vegetables. By continuing to eat, they keep living, forming a cycle, a reincarnation.”

As Cao Zhen spoke, lines of enlightenment light soared into the sky behind him.

And in the next moment, his enlightenment light was completely overshadowed by another.

Venerable Wu Xin was enlightened!

”This...” Venerable You Xin was stupefied; his junior disciple had just achieved enlightenment, three times in three days, and now twice in a single day.

Moreover, his eldest senior sister was enlightened too—she was at the peak of Immortality Regainment Realm.

If she becomes enlightened again, she might soon become a True Immortal!

The crucial question is, why hasn’t he been enlightened while being right there?

After a while, he looked at his master, whispering, ”Master, is there really such a thing as an Enlightenment Immortal Body? Could you use a treasure to look again and check if my junior disciple is actually an Enlightenment Immortal Body?”

Venerable Wu Xin’s enlightenment light was much brighter than Cao Zhen’s, and soon the entire Indistinct Sect saw the light, even cultivators outside the sect saw it.

”The enlightenment light is coming from the Reincarnation Palace direction.”

”What is going on at the Reincarnation Palace, back-to-back enlightenment?”

”This aura, it’s Venerable Wu Xin’s aura.”

”Venerable Wu Xin is at the peak of Immortality Regainment Realm; with this enlightenment, she might soon be called Immortal Lord Wu Xin.”

Within the Reincarnation Palace.

Cao Zhen emerged from his enlightenment first, and after about half of an incense stick’s time, the enlightenment light in the void gradually dissipated.

Venerable Wu Xin sighed, ”I understand now, reincarnation isn’t just about one thing or one object cycling. It involves interconnected cycles with other things.”

She sighed again, looking at Cao Zhen with a complex expression: ”I can’t believe I was enlightened by just a single remark from my junior disciple.

Junior, I must now strive to break through to the True Immortal Realm. When I succeed, I’ll come and teach you my swordsmanship.”

The strongest thing she could impart to Cao Zhen was her swordsmanship.

”Thank you, senior sister.” Cao Zhen smiled gently. As for swordsmanship, among all his powers before, swordsmanship was one of the few things he developed himself, with little reliance on external forces.

Though his swordsmanship did have issues, having drawn from too many sources, it had yet to fully form his own style.

Even though Venerable Wu Xin achieved enlightenment, breaking through to the True Immortal Realm would still take time.

In the ensuing period, Cao Zhen continued cultivating his techniques.

Gradually, he met three of the other four fellow disciples, including two senior brothers and a senior sister.

Though he never obsessed over speed in breakthroughs, having gained enlightenment twice and relying on previous cultivation experience, which involved a lot of passive success, he now understood the cultivation techniques and spells well.

Though he was once comparable to a Golden Immortal, even without being reincarnated, he was effectively re-cultivating, thus exceeding all disciples who had joined Indistinct Sect alongside him in speed.

Even Nong Yueling, acknowledged as the most talented, was only at three Daoist platforms, while he had already broken through to the Immortal Bridge Period, achieving three Immortal Bridges.
