Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Within the Eastern Province.

At Misty Mountain, the Wayless Sect had entered a period of calm.

Zhang Han was familiarizing himself with the Superior Spirit Treasure Celestial Map.

Dantai Luo Xue was wholeheartedly understanding the Chess Path to strengthen her Soul Power.

Su Qianyuan was continuously Blood Refining, boosting his strength.

As for the Sect Master Chu Yuan...

Chu Yuan claimed to be a tiny bit afraid of that Canglong and simply hid in his own palace, cultivating and increasing his realm at a turtle's pace.

That made the very Canglong Ao Yu who frightened Chu Yuan quite miserable.

He was the only restless soul within the otherwise peaceful Wayless Sect.

Because occasionally, Ao Yu had to be used by Dantai Luo Xue as a test subject to experiment with her combat abilities.

He also had to endure being used as a punching bag by Su Qianyuan under the guise of "honing the physical body of both parties."

Now and then, Li Er Gang would come by to borrow some Dragon Blood, claiming it was for making a new dish.

So it's fair to say he was the only restless soul in the Wayless Sect.

Yet, Ao Yu simply couldn't leave the Wayless Sect.

This left Ao Yu crying out to the heavens in vain and to the earth, which did not respond.

He could only pray every day for Zhang Han to show up.

...

Time flew by quickly.

In the blink of an eye, four months had passed.

On this day.

Ye Luo came up the mountain and returned to the Wayless Sect, breaking the silence that had settled there.

Both Dantai Luo Xue and Su Qianyuan paused their cultivation and came forward to meet their senior brother.

As for this senior brother, both Dantai Luo Xue and Su Qianyuan had a lot of respect for him.

Of course, Su Qianyuan had been beaten into submission, and since Ye Luo had once led him up the mountain to become a disciple, naturally he was very respectful.

Dantai Luo Xue, on the other hand, greatly admired their senior brother who would greet them with a Magical Treasure, and given his great strength, her respect was only natural.

In front of the Grand Hall Square.

Ye Luo met with this junior brother and junior sister.

"How have you been? How has your cultivation been over these four months?"

Ye Luo, upon seeing his two fellow disciples, showed a trace of a smile on his usually expressionless face.

"Of course it's great, big senior brother, let me tell you, during this time, my Blood Refining has significantly increased my combat power,"

Su Qianyuan, patting his gleaming bald head, said with a smile.

"Hmm, big senior brother, my cultivation has been going pretty well, too. I should be able to handle fighting both third junior brothers,"

Dantai Luo Xue said with a light smile.

Her tone was slightly playful.

Su Qianyuan, listening to this, felt his face darken. Couldn't she have used Ao Yu for her metaphor instead? Doesn't she know that Ao Yu is the standard unit of measure?

Clearly, in the span of four months, the relationship between Su Qianyuan and Dantai Luo Xue as fellow disciples had become much more harmonious and less awkward than before.

"Alright, alright, as long as your cultivation is going well, that's good. I have already taken care of the affairs of my Sect, so I have come back to prepare for the upcoming Grand Sect Competition. By the way, is our respected master within the Sect?"

Ye Luo asked.

"Respected master? He should still be up in the mountains. I have seen his palace gates shut tight all the time, probably in seclusion."

Su Qianyuan replied upon seeing this.

Hearing this.

Ye Luo was momentarily stunned.

Had his respected master's cultivation level progressed again?

Would he drop to the lowest level of Qi Refinement Stage this time, or would he fall directly to the Mortal Realm?

Regardless.

His master was probably not far from Ascension!

Ye Luo suddenly felt a touch of melancholy.

He hadn't expected his respected master to ascend so soon.

He hadn't had time to properly repay his master yet.

However...

Perhaps he couldn't repay him properly in the mortal world, but what about after ascension?

A sense of determination rose in Ye Luo's heart.

It was the determination to strive hard in his cultivation, aiming for early ascension.

Still, Ye Luo didn't show any of it, maintaining the same appearance on the surface.

"Where has that second brother gone? Why hasn't he appeared?"

Ye Luo asked aloud.

"Second Senior Brother? He's been in the Divine Weapon Pavilion, it seems he's come across some opportunity and has been in seclusion."

Su Qianyuan spoke.

"Is that so..."

Ye Luo nodded.

So it turned out that this second brother wasn't absent because he knew that the Sect Master was going to pass the position to his junior sister, rather than him.

He was actually in seclusion.

Tsk tsk...

He still has the mood for seclusion.

Does he want to cultivate a bit more, and make a splash at the grand sect competition, to let the master take a good look?

Too bad for him, the position of Sect Master isn't his!

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment will be!

Ye Luo felt a certain schadenfreude in his heart.

But outwardly, he said nothing, merely coughing twice before chatting idly with his fellow disciples again.

Just at that moment.

Over the skies of the Wayless Sect, a loud and strange sound echoed.

Wu Hu!

A Canglong dragon was soaring, playfully flying about here and there.

"This guy... Junior sister, I haven't been free to spar with him lately, have you also not sought him out for practice, and now he's getting cocky?"

Su Qianyuan saw Ao Yu flying around in the sky, and his mouth twitched.

"Hmm, I indeed haven't been looking for him for a 'practice match' recently."

Dantai Luo Xue nodded slightly in response.

Next to her, Su Qianyuan shook his head helplessly, feeling that Ao Yu was getting full of himself. After being beaten for over three months, he'd gone unchallenged for a while and was now showing off.

Ye Luo was quite curious, taking a step forward and looking up at the Canglong dragon.

"How come there's a dragon in our sect now? When did this happen?"

Ye Luo said with interest.

"That's Second Senior Brother's mount. Usually, it's also my and Fourth Junior Sister's punching bag... Ahem, no, no, I mean, our sparring partner."

Su Qianyuan made a slip of the tongue, almost calling Ao Yu a punching bag.

Although that was indeed the case, Ao Yu was still the mount of their second senior brother.

To call it a punching bag seemed hardly appropriate.

"Second Brother really enjoys himself, keeping a dragon as a mount."

Ye Luo clicked his tongue in amazement, feeling nothing of it.

As one who practiced the cultivation of the sword, standing on a flying sword was the coolest and fastest way to travel.

He had no need for any mount.

But still, he couldn't let this dragon cause trouble everywhere.

His master was still in seclusion.

Although the palace of his master was shielded from noise by a formation, the noise might not be completely blocked off if too loud, and it would be problematic if his master were disturbed.

Ye Luo was about to take action and suppress this Wu Hu-crying Canglong dragon.

But before he could make a move, a surge of energy suddenly rose from the direction of the Divine Weapon Pavilion...
