My Master Knows It All-Chapter 481 - 177 Cliff-jumping Little Prince_6

Off to the side, Ling Xi and Yan Yourong, as well as Little Beiyan, hadn’t listened to a word Xiang Ziyu said after mentioning cliff jumping. Jump off a cliff? They weren’t fools—there was no way they would ever consider such a gamble.

Cao Zhen didn’t know what to say. Such a small pool, yet Xiang Ziyu had managed to land in it. If it hadn’t been for the branches and leaves blocking his fall, and the presence of the pool, Xiang Ziyu would probably have been smashed to a pulp.

Moreover, this kid Xiang Ziyu, had cultivated the modified version of the Record of Deities and Demons, resulting in physical strength far surpassing others with the same Cultivation Base.

If it had been Ling Xi and the others who actually jumped and fell into that pool, it also wasn’t certain they would’ve survived.

Yi Sheng, however, was completely captivated, and eagerly asked, "So what happened next?"

"What happened next? Well, I just felt a bit of turbulence in my blood and qi, had some injuries, but nothing serious; after all, I am the protagonist, what could possibly happen to me?"

Xiang Ziyu patted his chest and said, "But the others weren’t so lucky. I found many skeletons on the ground, some of which had already fragmented and weathered away. Clearly, over the years, many people have jumped off this cliff, ultimately meeting their deaths.

However, some of these people had Qiankun Bags, with treasures inside like Secret Manuals and remnants of Divine Weapons."

"That’s all not important—the important thing is that inside the Cliff of Falling Immortals, I discovered a Cave Mansion, which turned out to be the former dwelling of Jian Yun. Inside, mana could be operated, and it was also the inheritance of Jian Yun.

"It had the Divine Skills of the Sun, Moon, and Stars, but that skill could only be cultivated at the Earth Immortal Realm. I felt something was off about the skill, so I modified it, and somehow, I’ve managed to cultivate it."

Cao Zhen finally understood why, after learning the Sun, Moon, and Stars skill, he had so many other Divine Skills; clearly, Xiang Ziyu had picked them up from others and then managed to cultivate them.

As for Xiang Ziyu modifying Divine Skills that should only be practiced at the Earth Immortal Realm so that they could be learned at the Golden Core Realm? Nothing about that was surprising.

If Xiang Ziyu could take the Record of Deities and Demons, two incomplete and unrelated Divine Skills, and hard-train them into a single skill, then what was so surprising about him mastering the Sun, Moon, and Stars at the Golden Core Realm?

However, upon reflection, the Divine Skills modified by Xiang Ziyu could probably only be cultivated by him. If someone else tried, the chances were that they would either suffer from cultivation deviation or die in the process.

Xiang Ziyu didn’t make any effort to keep his conversation private; although his voice wasn’t particularly loud, it carried clearly to many listening ears.

Suddenly, quite a few people started to chuckle softly.

"What modified skill? That’s a Divine Skill created by the founder of the Sun and Moon Sect’s master. The Sun and Moon Sect has fostered countless geniuses and masters over tens of thousands of years. If the skill could be modified, those masters would have done it long ago—why would it be his turn?"

"Exactly, how could Xiang Ziyu, at Perfect Completion Golden Core, have more insight than those masters?"

"It must have been the Ancestral Elder Jian Yun who modified the skill, and this guy insists it was him."

"I’ve heard of the Cliff of Falling Immortals; it’s not far from our Sect. Originally, the Debate Team from Hundred Peaks Sect came to challenge ours. This kid really has incredible luck to have survived such a fall."

"So if you just find a cliff and jump off, you could really stumble upon a great fortune?"

"How come we never encounter such peculiar adventures?"

The crowd around felt the world was unjust, and even a few amongst them appeared tempted to try their luck.

"You guys, you’re not seriously thinking about following Xiang Ziyu’s example, are you?"

"Have you lost your minds?"

"Such adventures aren’t that common."

As Yi Sheng pondered over Xiang Ziyu’s tale, he suddenly realized a question and asked curiously, "Then, what about the white ape? Did it really go to guide you?"

"The white ape? The white ape fell to its death," Xiang Ziyu replied to Yi Sheng, "Its death was too tragic, it was smashed into a pile of flesh."

All around, the disciples who were just previously a little tempted instantly abandoned the idea of trying it out for themselves.

As people talked, very quickly, the winners were decided on one platform after another.

Suddenly, a low cry came from Yi Sheng.

"Someone’s dead. Over there, on the Geng character platform, a Dao Companion has died."

Upon hearing Yi Sheng’s words, everyone turned their heads to look.

The battle on the Geng character platform hadn’t ended, but at this moment, one person had already fallen into a pool of blood.

This was different from the competition at Hundred Peaks Sect. During the Hundred Peaks’ contest, since everyone was from the same Immortal Sect, the matches were only to decide winners and losers. If someone were in danger, the referees below the platform would intervene immediately.

But now, with people from various Immortal Sects competing, everyone was fighting full out to win, and the referees below weren’t about to save anyone.

Moreover, in a melee with ten people, even if no one intentionally tried to kill, once everyone unleashed their Divine Skills, the multiple attacks could be unavoidable, leaving nowhere to hide.

If the disparity in Cultivation Base was too significant, death was indeed a possibility.

Ling Xi and the others had already fought countless matches by now, but their battles were only to decide the victor, not matters of life and death.

Even on the platform where Ling Xi was, though Hou Qianjun’s attacks were lethal, he hadn’t killed anyone. Now, seeing someone dead on a platform, their expressions turned strange.

For the first time, they seemed to truly understand the cruelty of the Immortal Cultivation world.

Cao Zhen said nothing more. He had traveled from Hundred Peaks Sect to the Capital City with Lan Pili, experiencing countless ordeals and witnessing numerous deaths along the way.

Everything before them was something all Cultivators must face.

He could only let his disciples experience it for themselves to understand the Immortal Cultivation world.

With so many platforms active at once, as soon as one concluded its match, a new group was quick to take their place.

Some platforms had quickly decided matches, like the one Xiang Ziyu had been on, where the second group had already been fighting for quite some time.

Yet on other platforms, the first group’s battles were still ongoing due to slower fights.

Cao Zhen from his vantage point on the mountain kept an eye on the Bing character and Wu character platforms.

Yan Yourong was Bing character thirteen, and Little Bei was Wu character nineteen—both had yet to enter their second-round matches.
