My Master Knows It All-Chapter 168 - 123 Sincerity and Business_2

She soon began to help with the refining, but gradually, as Cao Zhen continuously imparted secret techniques to her, her surprise grew greater. Eventually, she couldn’t help but ask, "Previ... Peak Master Cao, you are teaching me these techniques, aren’t you afraid I might steal your formation secrets?"

Such formations should be highly confidential secrets. It was only because of her inquiries that the elder revealed his identity as the reincarnation of a being with great ability. And now, he was letting her assist in the refining, which was akin to teaching her how to craft formations.

Cao Zhen said indifferently, "It doesn’t matter. This refining is only to create the most basic aspects of the formation map. Even if you learn it, you will only grasp the superficial parts. The real core cannot be learned by you, and there’s no need for you to steal it. If you wish to learn, just learn.

Furthermore, I trust the elder very much. I believe that as a senior member within our Hundred Peaks Sect and someone who controls such an important place as the Immortal Weapon Control Pavilion, you are surely a person of great fairness and justice.

Even if you were to learn the most basic parts, I trust you would not disclose them to others."

Ai Yunqi listened to Cao Zhen’s calm words, deeply moved in her heart. The elder had such trust in her, while she had previously regarded him in such a different light.

No, she couldn’t be distracted any longer. She must concentrate on helping the elder refine the formation.

Ai Yunqi gathered her focus and began to refine with complete concentration.

The two individuals, working on the seven array plates, lost track of time, and nine days had passed before they knew it.

Out of the seven array plates, six had been completed. Now only the last one remained, the one assigned to Ai Yunqi for refining.

Since he could refine an array plate for anyone, he naturally chose to make one directly for Ai Yunqi.

He had also thought before about possibly making one for Elder Copper Plate or for Chao Zi Zai to refine a formation map. However, the materials here were not especially suited for creating formation maps for the two of them.

On the tenth day, above the Immortal Soldier Workshop, black tribulation clouds emerged in the sky.

Layers of dark clouds gathered from all directions, almost completely obscuring the sky above the Immortal Soldier Workshop. The whole world darkened, and looking at it through the faint light, it seemed as though the tribulation clouds would press down. The air around them also seemed to grow heavier.

Inside Hidden Dragon Observatory, various masters and disciples noticed the gathering tribulation clouds almost immediately. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

"Tribulation clouds? Why are there tribulation clouds appearing?"

"What kind of tribulation clouds are these?"

"At the location of the Immortal Soldier Workshop, could it be that a senior is refining a Divine Weapon?"

"What kind of Divine Weapon could trigger such tribulation clouds?"

Above a five-story tower within the Hidden Dragon Observatory, Lv Chaoqiong looked at the distant tribulation clouds, and a glimmer of joy appeared on her face.

A Divine Weapon capable of triggering tribulation clouds meant that the Hundred Peaks Sect had gained another extremely powerful Divine Weapon.

More importantly, who was the one who refined this Divine Weapon?

Ai Yunqi?

Hadn’t she said it would be who knows how long before she could make a breakthrough? If not her, then who else could it be?

Lv Chaoqiong stood up and flew toward the Immortal Soldier Workshop at high speed.

In the Five-Element Pill Ground, Gu Chengyu looked at the distant tribulation clouds and couldn’t help but recall the scene of Cao Zhen refining pills here, which had caused an Alchemy Tribulation. He swiftly rose to his feet and sped towards the Immortal Soldier Workshop.

Such tribulation clouds were impossible to withstand alone; he had to lend a helping hand.

In the Immortal Soldier Workshop, Ai Yunqi looked up at the tribulation clouds in the sky, inwardly shaken. This... was this the senior’s strength? Simply agreeing to help refine a formation map was enough to bring about the descent of tribulation clouds.

In her many years of life, she had never heard of anyone within the Hundred Peaks Sect whose formation map refining led to Array Tribulation.

"Elder Ai, should the Array Tribulation descend, please help me block it," Cao Zhen said, trying to make his voice as calm as possible. After all, in the eyes of others, he was a reincarnation of a being with Great Ability, who had seen all sorts of grand scenes. But in his heart, he was already cursing fervently.

I was just casually refining a formation, and moreover, one that was meant as a gift. How could this possibly trigger an Array Tribulation?

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed as a bolt of purple thunder, over a zhang in radius, plummeted from the sky toward Cao Zhen. As it passed through the sky, it appeared as if the heavens were instantly torn asunder, and there was even the sound of something shattering.

Ai Yunqi’s body immediately burst into brilliant light, her Earth Immortal Realm cultivation base fully activated. She crossed her arms, and a longsword appeared in her hands. In the next moment, she thrust her sword forth.

With just a single strike, numerous sword lights emerged in the sky, piercing toward the descending thunder. The formidable thunder, which seemed so terrifying, dissipated at a visible rate under the impact of the sword light, vanishing without a trace in a mere instant.

Cao Zhen looked at Ai Yunqi in astonishment. Was she always this strong?

She had once inquired whether the Supreme Unparalleled Formation he had created was similar to the Immortal Path Domain that was rumored to come with entering the Earth Immortal Realm.

At that time, he thought she hadn’t entered the Earth Immortal Realm, only to discover now that she had indeed reached it, but had been continuously brushing against the threshold of the Immortal Path Domain.

No sooner had Ai Yunqi dispersed one bolt of thunder when the next moment, more bolts began to fall from the sky, each stronger than the last.

Ai Yunqi, with her full combat power unleashed and not daring to delay, swung her longsword once again. For a time, countless sword lights shot across the sky, so numerous that they seemed to fill the entire heavens.

Despite the abundance of sword lights, the thunder in the sky was also relentless. Moreover, the power of the thunder was astonishingly great. Numerous sword lights had to fall before a single bolt of thunder could be shattered.
