My Master Knows It All

”Ghosts?” Cao Zhen was slightly taken aback, looking at the other person with disbelief and asked, ”What kind of ghosts?”

Immortal Lord Shi Wang chuckled softly, ”They’re just like those fierce ghosts and resentful spirits we usually see.”

Cao Zhen became even more puzzled, ”But you said the weakest ones who can enter here are Taiyi Golden Immortals, and there are even Semi-Saints. How strong must those ghosts be to be able to kill a Quasi-Saint?”

”They aren’t particularly strong. The weaker ones might be like Earth Immortal Realm individuals, the stronger ones are like cultivators in the Immortality Regainment Realm, and the strongest are like True Immortal Realm cultivators.

However, after we enter Peace City, our immortal energy is sealed. Although our physical bodies are still strong, those ghosts’ attacks directly target the soul.

With our immortal energy sealed, our souls have no protection. Facing countless ghosts’ soul-targeted attacks, no matter how strong the body is, it’s useless; not even a Quasi-Saint can withstand it.

And these ghosts guard the city gate of Peace City, only allowing entry after handing over a Peace Command.”

Cao Zhen touched the Peace Command in his hand and curiously asked, ”So where does the Peace Command come from?”

Immortal Lord Shi Wang explained, ”In the world outside, you might just have luck and find a Peace Command on the ground, but more often than not, they’re found in those secret realms and relics.

Moreover, just picking up those Peace Commands and handing them over to the ghosts isn’t enough.

We need to gather immortal energy and infuse it into the Peace Command. You’ll see, these Peace Commands have a glow.

New Peace Commands without infused immortal energy are dull.

Only after infusing sufficient immortal energy will the Peace Command emit a glow.

Those ghosts only accept Peace Commands that glow.”

Cao Zhen’s brows instantly furrowed, ”They need our immortal energy, what do they need our immortal energy for?”

”We’ve considered this question too.” Immortal Lord Shi Wang didn’t show much reaction, speaking as usual, ”We always believed, these Peace Commands should be a kind of vessel to carry our immortal energy.

For their cultivation or sustaining life, they should need our immortal energy, but they cannot directly obtain it from us.

They need the Peace Command as a carrier, so within their city, no matter what you do, you’ll need a Peace Command.”

Immortal Lord Shi Wang paused slightly, then introduced, ”Let me continue telling you about this world. There are many relics or secret realms here.

We feel this world seems to be a remnant from an ancient era.

Those relics and secret realms vary, some containing only Earth Immortal Realm inheritances, or even Golden Core Stage inheritances.

Yet some relics or secret realms have treasures coveted even by Quasi-Saints.”

Cao Zhen noticed that when the other person spoke the last few words, their voice noticeably rose, with overt excitement in the tone.

Thus, it’s clear the other must have encountered a significant mystical opportunity from a relic or a secret realm.

For a Taichi Golden Immortal to be so excited, that treasure...

Cao Zhen recalled the fishing net released by the other, which captured the opponent twice, even a Taichi Golden Immortal couldn’t escape from it.

Cao Zhen suspected that the fishing net was acquired by the other from here.

Immortal Lord Shi Wang continued, ”Do you know why it becomes extremely dangerous every night here, yet so many cultivators stay? It’s because this place has the most relics and secret realms.

Many cultivators have encountered mystical opportunities here.

When I first arrived, I met a Taichi Golden Immortal who, upon entering a secret realm, directly broke through and achieved Daluo Golden Immortal.

There are countless such examples. In short, this place is full of opportunities.”

Cao Zhen was more interested in Peace City, so he continued asking, ”Tell me more about Peace City. Inside the city, aren’t people attacked by those ghosts?”

”As long as you don’t cause trouble, you won’t be attacked.” Immortal Lord Shi Wang explained, ”More precisely, as long as you don’t actively attack those ghosts, they won’t attack you.

Of course, there are some things to be mindful of.

First, don’t cause a commotion in the city; if something big happens, these ghosts will move out, acting like the Law Enforcement Team in various Great Teachings, maintaining Peace City’s order.

Once caught, they will decide whether to detain or directly kill you based on the offense.

Generally speaking, as long as you don’t cause trouble or make a scene, these ghosts won’t come after you.

If you accidentally cause a scene and ghosts try to catch you, you can either be taken away and detained for a while, or choose to take out a Peace Command and bribe the ghosts.”

Cao Zhen was thoroughly surprised, ”You can actually bribe them, how many Peace Commands are needed for a bribe?”

”Usually, five to ten Peace Commands. After the bribe, the ghosts won’t bother you.”

”What if you don’t bribe? What happens if you’re taken away?”

”You better not have such thoughts.” Immortal Lord Shi Wang quickly reminded, ”From what I know, all the cultivators taken away and detained go mad once released.
