1138: Chapter 291_2 1138: Chapter 291_2 Immortal Bi Yue didn’t give it much thought, and immediately followed Cao Zhen into the mountain cave.
She too was at the limit of the Golden Core Stage, what was there to fear?
However, her curiosity about Cao Zhen’s identity grew stronger.
Just who exactly was Cao Zhen, to make him so cautious and careful?
Both of them were at the limit of the Golden Core Stage, and they both felt that there were no people around, yet Cao Zhen still chose to enter this small mountain cave.
Once Immortal Bi Yue flew into the cave, Cao Zhen took a look outside then slowly began to speak, “I truly am a reincarnated being of Great Ability!”
After he spoke, he paused for a moment and then asked, “Do you know of the Eastern Wasteland?”
“I know of it, but I am not familiar with it.
We know that outside our Central Five Provinces, there are some remote and secluded places.
It is said that because of a great war in the past, the vast land was shattered, and some of the broken pieces of land, for some reason, drifted away.
People refer to these places as the Eastern Wasteland, Eastern Barbarians, among other names.
As to exactly how many lands there are, I am not clear.
“Right, I have also heard that those regions seem to be connecting with our Central Five Provinces soon.
Other than that, I don’t know much about those places.”
As Immortal Bi Yue spoke, her eyes revealed an unexpected glint while she speculated, looking at Cao Zhen, “You’re not going to tell me you come from the Eastern Wasteland, are you?”
“Clever,” Cao Zhen snapped his fingers, “Yes, I am indeed from the Eastern Wasteland.”
“No, that’s not right,” Immortal Bi Yue shook her head, “That’s not right, there’s a misty barrier between the Eastern Wasteland and our Central Five Provinces now, it’s impossible for you to come to our Eastern Province.”
“But we did make it.
Actually, there’s a small gap between the Eastern Province and the Eastern Wasteland, it’s not possible for a lot of people to go through, but a few can manage it.
After all, haven’t people from the Eastern Province been able to send a portion of their numbers into our Eastern Wasteland, or the Eastern Barbarians and such places before?”
Immortal Bi Yue felt overwhelmed by the surge of information and took a while to accept what Cao Zhen had said.
Then she sorted through it bit by bit, “So the reason you have such high Musical Rhythm ability is that you are a reincarnated being of Great Ability, and the reason we have never heard of you or your sect is because you come from the Eastern Wasteland.
“Speaking of which, when you were reincarnated, it must have been during a very ancient era, right?
Otherwise, you should know that reincarnated beings of Great Ability don’t appear in the Four Continents.”
Cao Zhen nodded emphatically, fabricating his story, “Correct, it indeed was a very ancient era…
never mind, I am now reincarnated and do not wish to talk about the past.
Dwelling too much on past memories will affect the cultivation of my Daoist heart going forward.”
Immortal Bi Yue nodded in understanding.
She had heard that some reincarnated beings of Great Ability, upon reincarnation, make it their first task to forget the past.
Otherwise, they would just follow the same path and reach the same level as before – at best, become slightly stronger but not experience a qualitative leap.
Therefore, they needed to forget the past.
Of course, there are also some reincarnated beings of Great Ability who choose to continue on their previous path but will correct the mistakes they made before.
Although Immortal Bi Yue was even more curious about Cao Zhen’s identity as a reincarnated being of Great Ability, since Cao Zhen clearly did not wish to divulge more, she could not well ask further and changed the subject instead, “Just now, from what you said, you didn’t come to our Eastern Province alone, did you?”
Cao Zhen nodded, “Correct, I brought my disciples with me.”
“Where are your disciples then?” Immortal Bi Yue asked.
She did not question why Cao Zhen, a reincarnated being of Great Ability, would still take on disciples.
This time, Cao Zhen spoke the truth, “Some of them have already entered this relic, and another disciple is currently within the Cloud Reaching Sect.
The Rainbow Bridge of the Cloud Reaching Sect was triggered by that disciple of mine.”
Immortal Bi Yue did not know why Cao Zhen was so certain that the Rainbow Bridge had been triggered by his disciple, but based solely on Cao Zhen’s status as a reincarnated being of Great Ability, and considering the terror of reaching the Golden Core Period Limit at the time of the Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills, she believed what Cao Zhen said.
She now finally understood why Cao Zhen had no use for that Divine Thought.
What would a reincarnated being of Great Ability need with cultivation techniques, Divine Skills, or even spells?
Once Cao Zhen finished speaking about his situation, he suddenly asked, “By the way, what is the perspective of your Eastern Province toward us people from the Eastern Wasteland?”
“What is the perspective?” Immortal Bi Yue was indeed stumped by the question.
She frowned slightly in frustration and said, “I don’t have any special feelings about your Eastern Wasteland connecting to the Central Five Provinces, no expectations, nor have I ever thought about it before.
“This kind of thing doesn’t impact us at all.
In short, our great teachings are not concerned with this matter.”
“Then, what if they knew about someone who reached the limit of the Golden Core Stage at the time of the Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills, what would they do?
Would they attack the Hundred Peaks Sect?
For example, would they try to nip me in the bud?
Or even destroy the entire sect I belong to?”
At these words, Immortal Bi Yue’s eyes widened in shock, and she spoke with bewilderment, “Why would you think that?
Was the era you lived in so chaotic?
“Although there are indeed disputes and conflicts among the Immortal Sects, the kind of preemptive elimination of an opposing faction’s talents you’re talking about is rare.
After all, you are not their enemy, why would they unanimously target your sect?”
