My Master Knows It All-Chapter 537 - 187_4

Today, countless people were paying attention to the Yi Mansion’s direction, but even when the next day arrived, there were no significant movements from the Yi Mansion.

"Could it be that because our cultivation bases are not high enough, we can’t sense that aura?"

"Yesterday, there were some elders in the Earth Immortal Realm who said they briefly felt that aura."

"Ask the elders."

Disciples led by Earth Immortal Realm elders from various major sects hurriedly went to their Immortal Sect’s elders to inquire, but they soon all received the same answer.

"No, yesterday Peak Master Cao did not make another breakthrough; he is still at the sixth level of the Golden Core."

For four consecutive days, every evening, people kept an eye on the situation at the Yi Mansion, but Cao Zhen did not make another breakthrough.

Meanwhile, during these days, everyone from the Four Treasures Peak had advanced as well.

Over these days, the major betting houses in the Capital City also very tacitly did not adjust the odds for Cao Zhen and Star Lord Hao Yue, both of their odds remained the same at two to one.

However, the Tongbao Gambling House was completely outdone by the Xing Kui Betting Shop this time.

The people at Tongbao Gambling House couldn’t comprehend how the Xing Kui Betting Shop could come up with so many messy new kinds of betting methods.

After proposing several parlays, they came up with something called the Bet of Nine.

This time at the Great Immortals’ Martial Tournament, they were selecting one State Preceptor and ten Immortal Generals—a total of eleven people.

So the Xing Kui Betting Shop came up with the Bet of Nine, where you could choose any nine people—without having to pick the champion. As long as the nine people you chose all won, the Xing Kui Betting Shop would only take a twenty percent cut of the Spirit Stones and Spirit Crystals wagered in the Bet of Nine, and the rest would be split among the people who bet correctly.

Following that, the Xing Kui Betting Shop opened various other betting methods—like who would run into whom the next day, how long it would take for a certain person to defeat their opponent...All sorts of betting methods. Tongbao Gambling House could only emulate them.

Now, Tongbao Gambling House, and even the other major betting houses in the Capital City, were constantly staffing their people in the Xing Kui Betting Shop. As soon as the Xing Kui Betting Shop introduced a new betting method, they would immediately notify their own betting house and then directly copy it.

But copying also took time, so more people went to the Xing Kui Betting Shop instead.

On the night of the fifth day, Cao Zhen had still not made any breakthrough after so many days, and quite a few people had already started to feel that, although Cao Zhen was a reincarnation of a great being, he could not keep breaking through continuously.

The reason why Cao Zhen had only broken through to the sixth layer of the Golden Core, rather than the seventh, eighth, or even to the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, might be because he could only advance to the sixth layer of the Golden Core in a short period of time.

Nevertheless, there were still many people closely watching the location of the Yi Mansion.

Suddenly, just as the hour of Zi arrived, a fiery red light shot up into the sky above the Yi Mansion, extremely conspicuous in the darkness of the night.

Within the blaze, the phantom of a Phoenix emerged, surrounded by scorching flames that seemed as if they were going to burn the entire sky to ashes.

At the Immortal Reception House, many Immortals who were watching the Yi Mansion raised their heads and gasped.

"Has there been a breakthrough?"

"Someone has formed an abnormal phenomenon Golden Pill after a breakthrough."

"Normally, the formation of an abnormal phenomenon Golden Pill would also manifest an anomaly, but it would not be particularly noticeable. To exhibit such a manifestation when not even reaching the Ten Different Phenomena Golden Elixir Great Perfection signifies that the abnormal phenomenon Golden Pill is extremely powerful."

"Is this... Has Peak Master Cao finally made his breakthrough?"

"No, this aura... This is not Peak Master Cao’s aura."

"It seems like... a little disciple from Four Treasures Peak has made a breakthrough?"

"Yi Sheng of the Yi Mansion? She was at Eight Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Core before, but now, has she directly advanced to a Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Core?"

"It’s not Peak Master Cao who has broken through... even if Yi Sheng has become a Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Core, she probably won’t get far."

Yi Sheng had finally advanced.

Unlike Ling Xi and Xiang Ziyu, who were unable to cultivate and break through on their own, Yi Sheng was capable of cultivating on her own, and, moreover, she was an Immortal Body, which meant she cultivated much faster than ordinary people.

Previously, with Cao Zhen’s assistance, she turned herself into a Human Pill and, having reached Enlightenment, continuously fought over the past several days, ultimately taking a step further and becoming a Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Core.

Cao Zhen sat in his room, gazing at the abnormal phenomenon Golden Pill that formed after Yi Sheng’s breakthrough, feeling deeply moved.

"Truly the body of a modern immortal is different. It hasn’t been long since she became an Eight Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Core, and she has already made such a breakthrough."

Although Yi Sheng had made a breakthrough, there was no sign of joy on her face. Instead, she quickly became accustomed to the power after her breakthrough. The Great Immortals’ Martial Tournament had been going on for so many days and was already into the second half. Tomorrow would be the battles for advancing from the top 128 to the top 64.

Even as a possessor of Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills, she was still one of the weaker ones in the competition.

The next day, the Great Immortals’ Martial Tournament continued.

Today, a total of sixty-four battles would take place.

Now, only two stages remained.

The battles at the Golden Core Stage would not last several days and nights, so two stages were sufficient to ensure that one round could be completed in a day.

As the hour of Chen arrived, two judges in charge at the foot of the two stages spoke.

"On the Alpha Stage, Clear Understanding of the Infinite Temple will fight against Fang Huaiyi of the Scholar Dao Sect."

"On the Beta Stage, Yi Sheng of Hundred Peaks Sect’s Four Treasures Peak will fight against Little Lou of the Four Extremes Sect!"

At the sound, Yi Sheng immediately soared into the air and flew towards the direction of the stage.

A total of four people from different Immortal Sects were dueling, and at this moment, around the elevated area, the people from various Immortal Sects had not left. Even without their sect’s representatives fighting, everyone seemed relaxed, and they began discussing among themselves.
