My Master Knows It All

As the sharp sword swung, the head of the Green Ghost Immortal fell.

”Dead!”

In the distance, the cultivators of the Dragon Scale and Phoenix Wing Clan gasped, staring at the corpse of the Green Ghost Immortal with a look of horror in their eyes.

If before someone told them that an Immortality Regainment Realm, and a top-tier one at that, had died at the hands of a Golden Core Stage, they would never have believed it. But now, everything happened right before their eyes.

”This human, just how strong was he before!”

”Everyone, perhaps we were wrong before.” Among the remaining four cultivators, Star Lord Dian Lan suddenly realized something and spoke, ”At first, we saw the opponent at the True Immortal Realm, and we always thought he had experienced twice the power of time.

But now, seeing his combat power, haven’t you considered another possibility? The opponent actually entered here at the Golden Immortal Realm.”

”Indeed, there’s a possibility of that, but what does it matter to us? What matters is now.”

Each cultivator fell silent for a moment. Their opponents had always been other alien race cultivators, all from their same clan, as in the end, only one cultivator could leave this place.

But now, they realized they were wrong, gravely mistaken.

Even though they are two cultivation realms higher than this human, they might indeed be eliminated by him in the future.

Especially in the battle a year later.

In one year’s time, Cao Zhen’s injuries had fully recovered, and during this time, he began to refine his Heretical Golden Core again.

Not to make the Heretical Golden Core stronger, but to weaken it.

After all, a year later he would be at the Core Formation Stage, and by then, he wouldn’t have the strength to wield this Heretical Golden Core.

All along, regardless of the cultivation realm, whatever he crafted, his purpose was to create stronger treasures. This was the first time he willingly made a treasure weaker.

Gradually, he realized that weakening is more difficult than strengthening.

After all, weakening isn’t simply achieved by disassembling; the Heretical Golden Core is part of him. Forcefully disassembling it would cause severe harm.

Furthermore, he realized that weakening should perhaps follow certain rules, even a form of reincarnation, just like now, their cultivation base is seemingly undergoing a reincarnation.

Unconsciously, he was completely engrossed, not just in refining pills but in reincarnation itself.

A year passed quickly, and as the power of time reemerged, Cao Zhen’s cultivation base decreased again, becoming a cultivator of the Core Formation Stage.

Opposite him, the cultivators of the Dragon Scale and Phoenix Wing Clan, along with another unfamiliar cultivator, had all become Earth Immortal Realm cultivators.

That unfamiliar cultivator, since entering, had never uttered a word, not a sound, often making them overlook the presence of this alien race.

The four Dragon Scale and Phoenix Wing Clan cultivators felt Cao Zhen’s gaze, and their faces suddenly turned solemn.

This is the last chance.

Now, they could still wield celestial energy. If they fail to defeat him this time, next time when they wield mana just like he does, they wouldn’t be able to defeat this human clan.

Yet who would the human clan choose this time?

On one hand, they hoped the human clan would choose them, as this was the last chance to eliminate him, and they wished to control their destiny. On the other hand...

It’s celestial energy versus mana, and the Green Ghost Immortal was previously eliminated by this human.

They didn’t have full confidence they could eliminate this human.

Cao Zhen glanced over them, finally pointing at Star Lord Dian Lan: ”It’s him.”

A faint trace of fear appeared on Star Lord Dian Lan’s face, but he stepped forward, while the voices of his tribesmen resounded.

”Dao Companion Dian Lan, remember not to let him get close.”

”Star Lord Dian Lan, just distance yourself from him and use spells to attack.”

”Star Lord Dian Lan, his previous victories relied on close combat and his stronger swordsmanship. I don’t believe he can possess such strong swordsmanship at the Core Formation Stage, let alone comprehend the Way of Reincarnation. Dao Companion, I believe you can eliminate him.”

Not far away, the frequently overlooked alien race found the scene amusing.

Clearly, four cultivators at higher cultivation realms, two levels above the opponent, were fearing him.

Star Lord Dian Lan stopped as soon as he walked out of the invisible cage. He had seen how the Green Ghost Immortal was defeated, so he definitely learned from it, determined not to engage in close combat with him.

From his body, waves of celestial energy surged forth. Instantly, the sky turned pitch black; the sun vanished, replaced by numerous stars and a crescent moon.

On the crescent moon, moonlight poured down, and the countless surrounding stars surged as if falling into the moonlight.

For a while, this moonlight seemed like endless waves of seawater.

And the stars were like fishing boats in the sea, or fierce beasts, roaring as they charged towards Cao Zhen.

Instantly, the boundless, majestic energy surged forward.

Cao Zhen gazed at the descending seawater, raised his sharp sword again, and began to draw circles.

Waves of reincarnation energy surged all around.

The turbulent seawater, seemingly capable of shattering any dike, fell and touched the sword Qi, but instantly calmed down under the power of reincarnation, rapidly dissipating.

In an instant, starlight flickered, sword radiance danced.

In the distance, the Dragon Scale and Phoenix Wing Clan cultivators were completely bewildered.

”What’s happening?”

”This is just the Core Formation Stage, he realized the Way of Reincarnation even at this stage, and cultivated it to such a degree, even combining it with his swordsmanship!”

”It’s not the Way of Reincarnation; more terrifying is his swordsmanship. This swordsmanship is exactly the same as his Golden Core Stage swordsmanship!”

”No, it’s not just the Golden Core Stage. Before this, at the Earth Immortal Realm, Immortality Regainment Realm, and even True Immortal Realm, his swordsmanship was the same! His swordsmanship hasn’t weakened at all!”
