My Master Knows It All

Chapter 2620: Chapter 537: Proposing a Marriage Alliance

Just how much ability does he still have!

They had thought they already regarded Cao Zhen highly enough, yet only now did they realize that this Cao Zhen was actually far more unfathomable than they had imagined.

So, back then when the Sky Clan insisted on exterminating the Human Clan, was it also because of Cao Zhen?

If the Human Clan rose up, would it affect their various races?

They weren’t about to nurture another Sky Clan into existence, right!

Though, that still seemed a bit far off.

Looking at the many Cultivators around him with all kinds of expressions, Cao Zhen sighed inwardly. Were they worrying about the rise of the Human Clan?

He had thought of this as well, and as for the solution, the emperors of the various dynasties in his previous life had already provided an answer.

Cao Zhen looked at everyone and said, "I know what you’re worried about. Rest assured, our Human Clan is not a Race like the Sky Clan that wants to monopolize this world.

You have all helped our Human Clan, and this favor our Human Clan will remember. If you are still uneasy, I have another method. I have a Disciple, Xiang Ziyu—you should all have heard of him, right?"

The surrounding Cultivators all nodded at his words. Although they were all at the Golden Immortal Realm while Xiang Ziyu was only at the True Immortal Realm, they had heard his name many times. Many even believed Xiang Ziyu was second only to Cao Zhen among the Human Clan’s Heavenly Pride, even that he was the most talented existence of this Human generation; after all, Cao Zhen was a reincarnated Daluo Golden Immortal and could be excluded from the comparison.

They were just a bit puzzled—why bring up Xiang Ziyu all of a sudden now?

Cao Zhen looked at their confused faces and said, "My Disciple Xiang Ziyu, on that very day when our Eastern Province birthed two experts at the Golden Immortal Realm, also broke through to the Peak True Immortal Realm.

Though it’s only the Peak True Immortal Realm, the Enlightenment Light he manifested that day, as well as the Heavenly Phenomenon of breaking through to the Peak True Immortal Realm, were in no way inferior to that of the Golden Immortal Realm!

Among all True Immortals nowadays, even counting those at the Perfect Completion of True Immortal Realm and the Half-step Golden Immortals, I fear there are not many who are confident they can defeat my Disciple."

Cao Zhen paused briefly, then continued, "And I’m not only referring to our Eastern Province, nor just our Human Clan, but our entire world, this whole side of Heaven and Earth!

Also, many people back then believed that the Yin Yang Sect Hierarch’s Enlightenment was because of me. In truth, I did not say anything to the Yin Yang Sect Hierarch. The one who debated the Dao with the Yin Yang Sect Hierarch at that time was my Disciple Xiang Ziyu. The Yin Yang Sect Hierarch attained Enlightenment because of Xiang Ziyu—it had nothing to do with me!"

As Cao Zhen’s words fell, a low commotion immediately rose around them. A True Immortal Realm Cultivator capable of making a Half-step Golden Immortal attain Enlightenment and thereby break through to the Golden Immortal Realm—just what level of comprehension had this True Immortal achieved? And what kind of grand Dao was he walking?

Before Cao Zhen finished speaking, he went on, "This Disciple of mine, back during the Golden Core Stage, happened to encounter the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, and at that time, with just nine Golden Cores, he had already reached the absolute limit of the Golden Core Stage.

After that came the Earth Immortal Realm..."

Cao Zhen continued at length, describing just how terrifying his Disciple Xiang Ziyu’s talent was.

The Cultivators all around listened to Cao Zhen’s praise and even felt that Xiang Ziyu was the most talented person in the entire history of the Human Clan, and even felt that, from Cao Zhen’s tone, Xiang Ziyu would become the number one person of the Human Clan in the future.

They believed Cao Zhen’s words as well. They believed that a reincarnated Great Luo would not speak carelessly. Besides, many of the things Cao Zhen spoke of they had already heard about and knew were true.

But the key problem was: no matter how strong Xiang Ziyu was, even if he suddenly became a Golden Immortal, he would still be just one person. Why bring up Xiang Ziyu at this time?

Just as the various Cultivators were full of doubts, Cao Zhen suddenly changed the subject, looked at the Cultivators of the various races, and asked, "What do you all think of my Disciple Xiang Ziyu? Would ’excellent’ suffice to describe him?"

Though puzzled, the surrounding Cultivators still opened their mouths one after another.

"The word ’excellent’ is already far from enough to describe Xiang Ziyu!"

"If even he doesn’t count as excellent, then in all the world, I fear there aren’t many Cultivators who could be called excellent!"

"Looking across the river of history as a whole, Xiang Ziyu’s talent definitely ranks near the top."

Cao Zhen glanced at the speaker—a Beast Clan member who looked somewhat like a whale—and his eyebrows jumped fiercely. You look just like a whale and still say things like ’looking across the river of history as a whole.’ Luckily you didn’t add something like ’totally explosive’ at the end, or I’d really suspect you were a transmigrator too.

Listening to their praise, his grin grew even brighter, then he said, "Everyone, since my Disciple is so excellent, then what do you think about choosing a female Cultivator from your races to become Dao Companion with my Disciple? You wouldn’t be losing out, right? At that point, we’d be one family, and you should feel much more at ease. My Disciple, he currently doesn’t have a Dao Companion yet."

All this buildup he’d done was for this final line.

In ancient times, quite a few emperors of various dynasties, for the sake of border stability, would send princesses out for political marriages.

But as for him, he really couldn’t bear to send his own Disciples out like that.

How could he let the cabbage from his own field be rooted up by someone else?

But a male Disciple, well, that naturally didn’t matter. Since he’s a male Disciple, no matter how you look at it, they’d be the ones getting the better end of the deal. As for what kind of female Cultivator the Beast Clan or the Insect Clan sent out, that was no concern of his anyway. It’s not like he was finding a Dao Companion for himself—he’d just let that brat Xiang Ziyu figure it out on his own.
