My Master Knows It All-Chapter 1394 - 333_5

Within Cao Zhen’s body, the surging Chaos Qi continued to compress, and compress again, making him feel as though the overwhelming pressure might explode at any moment.

Prosperous Age Skills, stop the operation of Prosperous Age Skills.

Cao Zhen suddenly realized this, but just as he intended to halt the technique’s operation, the final trace of energy from the Chaotic Pearl infused itself into his body.

Inside, the infinitely compressed Chaos Qi condensed into the form of a seed-like existence.

At the instant this seed materialized, in the void above, layers of calamity clouds began to assemble, while an infinite oppressive force bore down!

This was the aura of the Heavenly Dao, and Cao Zhen could even feel that this aura resembled the Force of Heaven’s Punishment. The person it was targeting—it was him!

Suddenly, at the next moment, in his body, the Prosperous Age Qi spun rapidly, enveloping the seed formed by the condensed Chaos Qi completely. Meanwhile, as all the chaotic power within the Chaotic Pearl poured into his body, the pearl itself violently exploded.

At the instant the pearl shattered, the boundless pressure emitted from the calamity clouds in the void also vanished without a trace. Shortly after, the layers of calamity clouds dissipated one by one.

Cao Zhen exhaled softly,

He could clearly feel the immense terror of the aura that had just emanated from the calamity clouds. That aura was even no less intimidating than the power spread by the Heavenly Dao when Old Man Wu Shuang emerged from the Grave of Rebirth.

If the Heavenly Dao had launched an attack earlier, he absolutely wouldn’t have had even the slightest chance of defense.

Fortunately, in the end, the Chaos Pearl shattered, and with it, the aura of the calamity clouds also dissipated.

"So, was the Heavenly Dao targeting the Chaos Pearl earlier? Or was it targeting the Chaos Qi? My current mana hasn’t even reached the Golden Core Period Limit, let alone surpassed it. The Chaos Qi within my body also could not exceed the Golden Core Stage Limit.

Yet, the Heavenly Dao insisted on unleashing the Force of Heaven’s Punishment! Is it simply because of the power of the Chaos Qi, or is it because of the seed inside my body?"

Cao Zhen focused inward and inspected the seed formed by the Chaos Qi within his body.

He discovered that within him was the lingering Prosperous Age Qi left from the operation of the Prosperous Age Skills, which seemed to act like nourishment, nurturing this seed.

However, apart from the seed’s uncontrollable absorption of Prosperous Age Qi, it did not exhibit any distinct qualities.

"Could it be necessary to execute the Prosperous Age Skills, and that once it absorbs enough Prosperous Age Qi, it will begin to grow?"

Behind Cao Zhen, nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills emerged as he restarted the operation of Prosperous Age Qi. Gradually, he noticed that the Chaos Seed absorbed Prosperous Age Qi and, in return, emitted streams of Chaos Qi. This Chaos Qi gently flowed out and entered his nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills.

Faintly, a sense of perpetual vitality seemed to emerge between the Prosperous Age Qi and the Chaos Qi.

Most notably, as this Chaos Qi entered the abnormal phenomenon golden pills behind him and then dispersed from his body, he further felt his own mana slowly strengthening.

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed. Cao Zhen felt that although he was still at the level of nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills, under the nourishment of the Chaos Qi emitted by the Chaos Seed, his mana had already reached the equivalent of Transcendent Ten Abnormal Phenomena Golden Core Perfect Completion.

The next step would be the pinnacle of Ten Abnormal Phenomena Golden Core Perfect Completion.

But before he could continue cultivating, Bi Yue unexpectedly came to see him.

"You’ve recovered?" Immortal Bi Yue gazed at Cao Zhen, whose entire body was immersed in the Sacred Spring with only his head exposed. Looking at Cao Zhen’s face, which bore no trace of paleness, then at the nine solidified Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills behind him, her face broke into a smile of delight and reproach, "You’ve recovered, and yet didn’t inform me. We... no, wait, your aura!"

Immortal Bi Yue sensed Cao Zhen’s emanating aura, her face displaying a sudden expression of astonishment as she exclaimed, "Your aura—it doesn’t carry the Golden Core Period Limit’s intensity. You restrained your aura?"

Cao Zhen gently shook his head, "Not at all. This is merely my current state of full strength."

"What? Your current aura only corresponds to the level of Transcendent Ten Abnormal Phenomena Golden Core Perfect Completion. How could it possibly be your full state?" Immortal Bi Yue looked at Cao Zhen with disbelief, hurriedly asking, "Has your injury not fully healed yet?"

"No," Cao Zhen responded with undeniable certainty, "My injury has completely healed. This is my present ability."

"But? Why haven’t you returned to the Golden Core Period Limit?" Immortal Bi Yue spoke, but suddenly noted that atop Cao Zhen’s head, the previously visible Exotic Pill he would summon during every full-force battle was absent.

She instantly understood, exclaiming softly, "Is it because of that Exotic Pill?"

"Exactly," Cao Zhen admitted decisively, "Previously, my ability to reach the Golden Core Period Limit was actually a stroke of luck. If not for that Exotic Pill you mentioned, I would never have reached the Golden Core Period Limit.

Now, that Exotic Pill has shattered within the Heaven Prayers Sect. Without the Exotic Pill, I naturally cannot return to the Golden Core Period Limit."

Immortal Bi Yue asked anxiously, "If that Exotic Pill has been lost, can’t you craft another one?"

Cao Zhen nodded slightly, "Crafting it is certainly still possible."

Upon hearing this, Immortal Bi Yue let out a light sigh of relief and said, "Then that’s fine. Crafting the Exotic Pill requires rare materials. Our Dragon Chant Sect might not have much else, but we do possess abundant resources."
