My Master Knows It All-Chapter 545 - 1818_6

Night.

Knowing that tomorrow would inevitably bring the battle between the possessors of the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, people such as Ling Xi and Yan Yourong returned to Yi Mansion. However, they didn’t spar as usual but retreated to their own rooms to meditate, contemplate, and adjust their states, recalling their Divine Skills and their own ways of combat.

Li Ke also returned to her room early. She slightly closed her eyes and began to contemplate.

Recalling his conversation with Li Ke from earlier in the day, Cao Zhen securely closed his room door and then entered China Cloud to open Li Ke’s link.

He immediately saw Li Ke sitting cross-legged in the room. Remembering every voice he had heard during each of his exchanges with Li Ke, he deliberately cleared his throat and spoke with a deep and aged voice.

"Junior."

Li Ke suddenly heard the voice in her mind that reminded her of the senior Dragon Long Aotian. A look of joy immediately appeared on her face as she respectfully said, "Senior."

"Hmm." Cao Zhen hummed deliberately, thinking of the upcoming Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth and realizing that if he were to contact Li Ke in the future, there would be a BUG. After all, when the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth truly arrived, with Long Aotian’s cultivation base, he was supposed to be in a deep slumber.

If Long Aotian didn’t go into slumber but instead continued to appear, that would be far too peculiar.

Thinking of this, he deliberately explained, "The Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth is about to begin. Although my current state is exceptional, it will be affected. It is somewhat troublesome for me to deceive the Heavenly Dao in my current state, and I haven’t seen any of you during this period."

Li Ke nodded gently upon hearing the senior’s words, no wonder the senior hadn’t seen her for such a long time. It turned out to be due to the approach of the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth.

Moreover, listening to the senior’s meaning, she could shield herself from the Heavenly Dao, which was terrifying indeed.

Now, she had not yet heard of anyone who could shield themselves from the Heavenly Dao. Even for the Grand Preceptor, everyone wasn’t sure if he could truly shield himself from the Heavenly Dao.

But senior Long Aotian had done it.

Furthermore, listening to the senior’s words, it seemed like disguising oneself from the Heavenly Dao was a mere trifle for him in his current state. What about if he was in his prime?

She previously held senior Long Aotian in high esteem, especially after Cao Zhen’s rise to power, her regard for him grew even higher.

After all, Cao Zhen was just one of the senior’s disciples and not even one who was taught face-to-face; he simply obtained senior Long Aotian’s legacy. At most, the senior’s voice appeared in his mind, offering him brief guidance.

The fact that Cao Zhen was regarded by countless people as a reincarnation of a Great Ability showed just how powerful senior Long Aotian was.

But now, having heard senior Long’s words, she realized she had underestimated him.

She felt that senior Long Aotian was like the high mountains she saw as a child among the clouds—the summit felt within reach, but with every new ascent, she realized what she saw was just a corner of the mighty peak.

Furthermore, if senior Long could shield himself from the Heavenly Dao...

Li Ke thought of her master, thought of the Hundred Peaks Sect, and eagerly asked, "Senior, if it wouldn’t be too bold of this junior to ask, could you... could you possibly help this disciple’s master shield himself from the Heavenly Dao?"

"Your master? That’s absolutely impossible. I can shield myself from the Heavenly Dao. As for others..." Cao Zhen chuckled lightly, but said no more. He didn’t know a damn thing about how to shield anyone from the Heavenly Dao.

Li Ke couldn’t help but sigh. Although senior Long hadn’t spelled it out, his implication was clear: other people couldn’t shield themselves from the Heavenly Dao because they were too weak!

With limited time, Cao Zhen didn’t dwell further on the topic but continued, "As I said before, once your Gold Light Spell is well developed, I will pass on other Divine Skills to you. Once your cultivation is sufficient, you could come to rescue me from my predicament.

Although the Gold Light Spell has not been completely mastered by you, you have cultivated it to the utmost limit possible for you. I could indeed pass on another Divine Skill."

Upon hearing this, Li Ke remembered the flower mentioned by Cao Zhen earlier that day. She pressed her palms together, thanking him profusely while saying, "Thank you, senior. However, this junior is currently participating in the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty’s Tournament of Immortals. Another of your disciples is also participating.

If this junior could achieve the position of State Preceptor, or a place among the ten Immortal Generals, my status in the Immortal Sect would rise, and I would also have some authority in the Guardian Immortal Dynasty. That would make my cultivation proceed faster, allowing me to assist you out of your predicament sooner.

Yet, I can’t assure that I will definitely attain the position of State Preceptor or of the ten Immortal Generals. Unless I receive a significant enhancement, I am... I possess the Bi Fang Immortal Physique. If there were a flame..."

Li Ke spoke softer and softer as she continued. Although Cao Zhen had mentioned going directly to senior Long Aotian and discussing Yi Sheng’s situation, after which senior Long Aotian granted the skill to cultivate the Fire of Departure.

But she and Cao Zhen were different.

Senior Long Aotian hadn’t contacted her during this time but had contacted Cao Zhen instead.

It seemed that senior Long Aotian, because he needed to shield himself from the Heavenly Dao, had limited energy and could only choose one person to contact between her and Cao Zhen; and senior Long Aotian chose Cao Zhen.

Not to mention the legacy Cao Zhen received.

Clearly, senior Long Aotian considered Cao Zhen as his heir, while he only wanted her to help him out of his predicament.

Her status in the heart of senior Long Aotian was different from Cao Zhen’s.

Senior Long Aotian was willing to help Cao Zhen’s disciple, but it was not certain that he would do the same for her, granting her that kind of skill that could create special flames.

Cao Zhen deliberately spoke up, "I know you recognize my other disciple. You saw her Fire of Departure, and that’s why you want a flame like it?"

Li Ke nodded vigorously, "Senior is wise." What’s wrong with flattering a bit if it could grant her a skill to cultivate special flames? If flattering senior Long Aotian in every communication could earn her such a skill, she’d never stop singing his praises!

"I have many skills for cultivating flames here, including the Samadhi True Fire, which I could allow you to cultivate as well.

However, cultivating such Divine Skills requires resources. What resources do you have? The resources I left at the legacy site have all been taken by my disciple."
