My Master Knows It All-Chapter 384 - 161: No Need to Take Discussing the Tao Too Seriously_2

Because that genius, in the path of Musical Rhythm, couldn’t compare to Master Liao Cave.

Even a certain Elder of the Heavenly Sound Sect said that they couldn’t compare to Master Liao Cave in Musical Rhythm.

Even the Deputy Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sound Sect had marveled, saying that Master Liao Cave’s talent in Musical Rhythm was too high and that it was their Heavenly Sound Sect’s loss for not having recruited Master Liao Cave.

How could such a Master Liao Cave possibly lose!

All around, a group of disciples heard that Cao Zhen was going to debate with Master Liao Cave, and hope appeared on the faces that were originally downcast because their Cave Master had lost the debate.

"With Master Liao Cave taking action, victory is naturally certain."

"Speaking of which, we should thank Peak Master Cao. If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t have the chance to hear Master Liao Cave’s celestial music."

"Yes, I’ve only heard about Master Liao Cave’s celestial music but have never heard it."

"I was lucky to have heard it once, and I can only say, after listening to it once, for an entire month, every day I felt as though that celestial music was lingering in my ears."

"Having heard Master Liao Cave’s celestial music, even eating the most top-notch delicacies felt tasteless to me."

Cao Zhen, listening to the words of the people around him, gently touched the chime bells beside him. What kind of music could be this divine? It sounded really formidable—should he take this more seriously so as not to mess it up?

He glanced around and quickly extended his hand toward a distant zither and pulled it close with a gesture. Gao Jianli’s Musical Rhythm skill was level ninety-nine, but he was most skilled at playing the zither, where he was a MAX level presence.

Although it was just Cao Zhen scheduled to debate with that so-called Master Liao Cave in Musical Rhythm, Cave Masters and disciples from the Rhythmic Cave around joined the crowd, and along with the disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect, a throng of people marched mightily toward the distance.

As people passed by and learned that Master Liao Cave was going to make a move, even more followed, and within a short time, the number of people doubled.

Cao Zhen looked at these people, and he felt more and more like they were star-chasing fans headed to see their idol.

Lan Pili, looking at the continuously increasing disciples of the Thousand Caves Door, asked Elder Huan Kong curiously, "Elder, which Cave’s Cave Master is Master Liao? How come I’ve never heard of a Master Liao Cave?"

Elder Huan Kong spoke softly, "Master Liao Cave is the Cave Master of Sunset Clouds Cave."

"Sunset Clouds Cave? Wasn’t the Cave Master of Sunset Clouds Cave Master Mu?" asked Lan Pili with a slight stun, "Wasn’t Master Mu...?"

"Half a month ago, Master Mu was appointed as an Elder of Thousand Caves Door. Therefore, Master Liao Cave took over as the Cave Master of Sunset Clouds Cave," said Elder Huan Kong without concealing anything. This matter didn’t need to be hidden, as it wouldn’t take long before the people of the Hundred Peaks Sect would naturally come to know.

"I see."

Lan Pili nodded slightly and telepathically whispered to Cao Zhen, "Sunset Clouds Cave ranks forty-sixth in the Thousand Caves Door. It is also the one Cave in the top fifty with the fewest disciples.

Throughout its history, Sunset Clouds Cave has never had more than ten disciples, and all of them are female. Despite that, as far as I know, it has never fallen from the top fifty."

If it were any other Peak Master, he wouldn’t bother to communicate this information secretly, but over the course of his recent interactions, he found that Cao Zhen wasn’t much concerned with many things and knew very little about the outside world, thus he took the trouble to explain.

Cao Zhen was surprised for a moment. A Cave with only a few disciples was a bit like his Four Treasures Peak, wasn’t it? However, his Four Treasures Peak ranked at the very bottom of the Hundred Peaks Sect, while Sunset Clouds Cave had only a few disciples yet ranked in the top fifty of the Thousand Caves Door, which was quite impressive.

He asked curiously, "So the Thousand Caves Door must also have its ranking competitions, right? Do they not need to compete in the Six Arts and such?"

"Compete, how could they not compete? The grand competition of the Thousand Caves Door is different from the one held by our Hundred Peaks Sect, but overall, it’s similar; they compete in the Six Arts and in duels. Naturally, the more numerous and stronger your disciples, the bigger the advantage," Lan Pili telepathically informed, "That’s why Sunset Clouds Cave, with only a few disciples, has always remained in the top fifty. It shows how dominant they are.

Their disciples practice the Six Arts, but their level is only average, very average. The strength of Sunset Clouds Cave lies in their fighting prowess. They can really throw a punch, simply put, they are very good at fighting.

So this time, for the Thousand Caves Door to choose someone from Sunset Clouds Cave to debate with you on Musical Rhythm, I find it odd. I’ve never heard before that people from Sunset Clouds Cave understood anything about Musical Rhythm."

As Lan Pili spoke, he glanced at Cao Zhen again and added, "However, then I think about your Four Treasures Peak, and somehow, it seems normal that someone from Sunset Clouds Cave would know about Musical Rhythm."

Four Treasures Peak was a place lacking everything—no heritage, a scant number of disciples, and it sat at the very bottom of the Hundred Peaks Sect ranks.

But what of it?

Peak Master Cao Zhen was proficient in calligraphy, music, and swordsmanship, even versed in Military Law, each skill nearly at the peak of mastery.

Compared to that, a Cave Master from Sunset Clouds Cave merely understanding Musical Rhythm seemed trivial.

After all, Sunset Clouds Cave was still within the top fifty of the Thousand Caves Door.

Thinking about it, Lan Pili added, "As for the Cave Master of Sunset Clouds Cave being appointed as an Elder of Thousand Caves Door, it must be because of the approaching Qiankun small epoch.

Before the arrival of the Qiankun small epoch, the most top-notch experts will fall into a deep slumber, so each Immortal Sect would make some adjustments. After all, if those in charge of key positions were to sleep, it would greatly affect matters."
