My Master Knows It All

The Eastern Border was quite unique; it neither had an Alliance Hierarch like East Breeze nor someone like Cao Zhen from the Eastern Wasteland, who, even if not an Alliance Hierarch, could compel the many Immortal Sects to act according to his wishes.

The Eastern Border was led by ten major Immortal Sects. Among them, now, three were pro-war, four were pro-peace, and the remaining three were non-committal.

The Flowing Light Sect was a centrist faction, but now had suddenly sent out a disciple to join forces with people from the Ultimate Sword Sect! If the Flowing Light Sect also turned pro-war, then there would be four sects on each side.

Yang Yudong looked at the incoming disciple with urgency and asked, "Which disciple did the Flowing Light Sect send out?"

The questioned disciple quickly answered, "Xia Congyun?"

Yang Yudong seemed as though his ears were injured by some powerful Sonic Wave Divine Skill, as if he had briefly lost his hearing, and suddenly raised his voice, asking loudly, "Who? Who did you say?"

The questioned disciple was startled by Yang Yudong's suddenly raised voice and likewise raised his voice slightly, exclaiming, "Xia Congyun."

"Xia Congyun, it's actually her! How could it be her..." Yang Yudong covered his forehead with a hand, muttering continuously, "Have the Flowing Light Sect gone mad, to actually send out Xia Congyun? Are they prepared to fully side with the Main War Sect?"

Even Sister Song Nianzhu's gaze shifted slightly.

Then, as if Yang Yudong suddenly thought of something, he looked at Cao Zhen and said, "Peak Master Cao, it's best if you don't go. That Xia Congyun, she's specifically targeting you."

"Oh?" Cao Zhen found this interesting, and full of curiosity, he asked, "We haven't even fought; why should I run away?"

"You don't understand how terrifying Xia Congyun is," Yang Yudong said urgently. "Like you, she also has a Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Core, but everyone in our Eastern Border knows that she will inevitably become a Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection. No one doubts this!

The reason she only has a Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Core is because her cultivation time has been short. The Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth has only been around for just over fifty years, and she joined the Flowing Light Sect many years after it began.

Her cultivation time hasn't even reached fifty years, not even forty.

Moreover, when she had a Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Core, she defeated an opponent with a Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pill Perfect Completion, and it was a complete crushing victory. I even heard that when she had an Eight Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Core, she defeated an opponent with a Perfect Completion Golden Core.

Of course, whether the latter news is true or false is debated. But this at least shows how terrifying she is. She is recognized as the Flowing Light Sect's most talented individual in ten thousand years.

In our Eastern Border, it's universally acknowledged that as soon as she breaks through to a Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir, she will certainly rank within the top ten, even top five in the Eastern Border.

That is, she will immediately become such a presence after the breakthrough, not needing further consolidation to enter the top ten or five.

If she is given time to consolidate, many even believe she will become the number one figure in the Eastern Border.

Even though Xia Congyun only has a Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Core, her fame eclipses that of many with Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir Great Perfection. With the Flowing Light Sect sending her out, Peak Master Cao, you truly have no chance of victory.

Although, as far as I know, Xia Congyun is not a bloodthirsty person, the fact that the Flowing Light Sect has sent her indicates a clear intent—they are leaning toward the Main War Sect. She might very well follow their wishes and move to kill you directly."

"So, you're suggesting I flee?" Cao Zhen's face showed no sign of concern, instead, he replied with a smile, "I originally had little interest when it came to people challenging us. But after hearing what you've said, I've actually become intrigued.

You say her reputation is greater than many in the Eastern Border with Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir Great Perfection, but similarly, I am extremely well-known in the Eastern Wasteland, and my renown also exceeds that of many with Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir Great Perfection."

Listening to Cao Zhen's words, Yang Yudong was momentarily stunned. This Cao Zhen, capable of cultivating to a Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Core, was certainly no fool. Hearing about such a powerful expert and yet not fearing them—could he be a peerless genius too?

Therefore...

As he pondered, Cao Zhen's voice came through again.

"Besides, is it that strange for a Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Core to defeat a Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pill Perfect Completion? When I was at the sixth level of Golden Core, I defeated those with Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir Great Perfection."

Yang Yudong nearly cursed out loud, "Damn it! Do you take me for a fool, just like your disciple?

Defeating a Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir Great Perfection at the sixth level of Golden Core?

Why don't you claim you were the first in the Eastern Wasteland when you were at Golden Core level six? You can't just make things up like that!

It's not just Golden Core level six; I wouldn't even believe you could defeat a Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir Great Perfection now. If it weren't for the current urgent situation, I would want to spar with you, to show you the terror of Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir Great Perfection.

Is it because these three Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir Great Perfections all listen to you, you've started to get arrogant? Do you really think you've got what it takes, that you're stronger than those with Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir Great Perfection?"

Turning his head, Yang Yudong looked towards Sister Song Nianzhu, hoping she would persuade Cao Zhen.

However, in the next moment, a figure flew through the void, exclaiming loudly, "Sister Song, Brother Yang, so you're here.
