My Master Knows It All-Chapter 620 - 202_4

Before the Grand Preceptor, there were already those who had fallen into a deep sleep. However, no one had ever managed to bring about a heavenly phenomenon while sleeping as he did. We are now extremely far from the Capital City, yet we still feel the aura."

Speaking thus, his expression turned solemn once again, and he said aloud, "Although everyone believes that the Grand Preceptor would eventually sleep, as long as he hadn’t, no one could be absolutely certain that he would definitely sleep. Everyone just thought it more likely that the Grand Preceptor would sleep. After all, given his cultivation base, he should have slept a long time ago.

Now that the Grand Preceptor really has slept, the world will surely fall into chaos. We should also head back early and make preparations."

That day, everyone in the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty knew that the Grand Preceptor had slept.

For a moment, all the Immortal Sects, both major and minor, started to make their own moves.

This was Cao Zhen’s second journey from the Capital City towards Hundred Peaks Sect. He had traveled this road before, but even as the flying boat sped through the air, in his hurried flight, he could feel the changes that followed the Grand Preceptor’s sleep.

Some cities he had seen before were completely tranquil and prosperous.

Now, as he passed by again, the cities remained prosperous, but were no longer as peaceful as before.

This was just after the Grand Preceptor had begun his slumber, and his disciples above the Golden Core stage were still present. What would the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty become if those disciples also entered sleep?

With Ai Yunqi present, especially after discovering that the Grand Preceptor had fallen asleep, Ai Yunqi further increased the flying boat’s speed, and in four days, they were back at Hundred Peaks Sect.

Cao Zhen returned to Hundred Peaks Sect only to find that there had been many changes compared to before.

The first thing he noticed was that the gate outside the mountain was different.

Previously, the gate of Hundred Peaks Sect was guarded by turns by the younger disciples from various peaks.

Back then, Yi Sheng had also been assigned to guard the gate.

Typically, the number of disciples guarding the gate did not exceed ten.

But now, as the flying boat landed, he saw that the number of disciples guarding the gate had exceeded twenty, and among them were three at the Golden Core stage.

On an ordinary day, the gate would be guarded by disciples of the Immortal Bridge Period, and at most, occasionally by those at the Core Formation Stage.

Yet now, there were disciples at the Golden Core stage, and not just one or two, but three at a time.

Moreover, he noticed that the entrance to the gate also differed from before.

In the past, at either side of the gate, there were two great stones buried in the ground, revealing only a shallow surface. Now, these two stones were almost fully exposed to the air.

Clearly, this was one of the Hundred Peaks Sect’s formations for protecting the gate. Typically, the formation remained deactivated, but now, it was clearly activated.

It was likely that this formation had been activated after the Grand Preceptor fell asleep.

After all, with the Grand Preceptor around, no Immortal Sects or Evil Demons dared to make significant moves.

But now that the Grand Preceptor was asleep, the figure who loomed over the heads of all cultivators of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, who kept everyone in check and made them follow the rules, was no longer there.

No one could guarantee whether, emboldened by this absence of restraint, some might act against them.

Of course, although the Sect’s formation was now activated, it was clear that the disciples guarding the gate still seemed relatively relaxed.

They knew that the Grand Preceptor had gone into his slumber and that the world was showing signs of unrest, but they were not overly worried or tense.

The activation of the Sect’s protective formation was merely a precaution.

They were, after all, one of the ten major Sects, and there weren’t many forces that could trouble them.

Furthermore, the outcome of the Recent Immortal Martial Gathering was clear to all; among the top eleven competitors, seven were from the Hundred Peaks Sect.

Who would dare trouble them?

They must fear what would happen if, after all the experts above the Golden Core stage had slept, Hundred Peaks Sect would turn the tables and trouble them!

It didn’t take long for people to notice the presence of the flying boat.

"Isn’t that flying boat Peak Master Cao’s flying boat?"

"Yes, that’s right. When my junior brother was guarding the gate, he saw Peak Master Cao’s flying boat, and he described it to me as looking exactly like that."

"Peak Master Cao has finally returned!"

"Quick, go back and inform the Sect that we should welcome Peak Master Cao."

As Cao Zhen disembarked from the flying boat, the disciples responsible for guarding the gate had already come to greet him, offering their salutations in unison, "Greetings to Qiu Peak Master, greetings to Peak Master Cao, greetings to Elder Ai, and greetings to the three senior sisters."

Qiu Wuxing, ranking second and the Peak Master of Five Elements Peak, naturally had to be greeted first by them.

Cao Zhen felt that things were indeed different now; in the past, the disciples of Hundred Peaks Sect were not so enthusiastic when they saw him.

Yet this time upon returning to the heart of Hundred Peaks Sect, he found that not only were the Sect’s disciples more welcoming than before, but even other Peak Masters, upon seeing him, were much warmer than usual.

He hadn’t even returned to Four Treasures Peak when one Peak Master after another came to him to curry favor.

There was no helping it; the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth was drawing near.

And Four Treasures Peak had four experts of the Perfect Completion Golden Core with Ten Different Phenomena and Cao Zhen, the victor in securing the position of State Preceptor.

When the time came, they would indeed be relying on Four Treasures Peak.

It wasn’t that they needed Four Treasures Peak to protect their own peaks.

After all, they were part of Hundred Peaks Sect; to attack them would naturally mean to attack Hundred Peaks Sect, and Four Treasures Peak would certainly take action.
