Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

In Zhongzhou territory.

There lies a vast plain in the eastern area.

This plain bears no buildings, nor any signs of human life.

Its sole purpose is for forming arrays.

Setting up a suspended formation.

It is for this very reason that, floating above the plain, a colossal island hangs in the sky.

This huge island is the chosen venue by the Cultivators Alliance Headquarters to host the grand competition between all sects.

Astride the island, buildings rise in numbers, clearly demarcated into districts.

To the west of the island, countless peaks stand tall.

These peaks are where the various great sects reside for the competition.

Each peak represents the residence of a sect.

In the deepest part lie a few of the most soaring peaks.

One of these peaks is where the Wayless Sect has taken up residence.

At this very moment, atop the mountain peak.

Within a splendid hall.

Chu Yuan stood alone at the entrance, running his hands along the walls of the hall, clicking his tongue in wonder.

Upon entering Zhongzhou, they were brought here and had been living for two days.

During these two days, numerous people visited them.

It made Chu Yuan feel as if the Eastern State Cultivation World and the Cultivation Realm of Zhongzhou were alike, both brimming with hospitable warmth.

However, one thing left Chu Yuan utterly confused.

That was why the grand competition between all sects had not yet started.

He had been residing there for two days already.

Nobody had informed him when the grand competition was supposed to commence.

"Oh well, let's just stay then, the spiritual energy here is dense, and the cultivation conditions are quite good. If it doesn't start too soon, maybe I could return to the Golden Core Realm with the cultivation here?"

Chu Yuan muttered to himself.

He thought about it and nodded to himself.

He showed no intention of continuing to stand around.

Dusting off the dust clinging to his clothing, he was about to return to his practice.

Just then.

Outside the mountain, a figure flew swiftly, and upon seeing Chu Yuan about to leave, he quickly called out.

"Senior, please wait a moment!"

The figure arrived in front of the hall, shouting loudly.

Chu Yuan, who was about to leave, paused, feeling somewhat displeased upon hearing the words "please wait a moment," but without giving it much thought, he turned his head to look.

It was an elder dressed in a white robe as well.

However, he was not the Gu Yi who had led the way last time.

"What is it?"

Chu Yuan turned his head and asked indifferently.

"Senior, senior, today is the day of the grand assembly of sects. The Alliance Hierarch noticed you had not arrived and sent me to invite you over."

The eager deacon explained hurriedly.

Even though Chu Yuan exerted no pressure at all.

Yet, under Chu Yuan's gaze, the deacon felt an inexplicable panic, as if he had imagined a terrifying pressure coming from Chu Yuan.

On the other hand, Chu Yuan was taken aback upon hearing this.

The grand assembly of sects?

He seemed to recall that Gu Yi had mentioned it.

It was a gathering that took place before the official start of the grand competition.

The specifics, he had forgotten.

He could not be bothered to remember this so-called grand assembly of sects.

Now hearing the deacon mentioning it, it seemed he was expected to attend.

"Do I need to summon all my disciples as well?"

Chu Yuan asked out loud.

"Cough cough, senior, this time it is the grand assembly of sects, only those of the Sect Master level may participate."

The deacon hastily explained.

"Alright then, let's head out,"

Chu Yuan nodded and began following the deacon, ready to depart.

"Senior, please wait a moment! You, honoured as you are, should not have to fly by yourself. Please allow me a moment to call for a mount for you,"

The deacon, seeing Chu Yuan's movement and assuming he intended to fly on his own, quickly spoke out.

Little did he know, Chu Yuan was actually preparing to walk down the mountain.

Whoosh...

The deacon picked up a whistle and blew it.

A piercing and loud sound echoed through the clouds.

A moment later.

A massive White Tiger with wings flew towards them.

The White Tiger landed, its wings unfolding and folding, stirring up gusts of wind.

"Senior, this is the standard mount of our Cultivators Alliance, a Yusha White Tiger that has reached the Nascent Soul Realm. Please, step forward, Senior. This mount will take you to the location where the Sect Conference is being held," respectfully stated the deacon.

"Mhm."

Chu Yuan watched with a mix of awe and fear.

He himself, at the Foundation Establishment Realm, riding a mount in the Nascent Soul Realm, wasn't that a bit too much?

No, that's not the right way to think about it.

The focus here seems to be... A mount is actually on par with his peak period...

All things considered, he was less than a mount!!

Chu Yuan, filled with 'grief' and indignation, mounted the beast.

Having had the experience of riding a dragon.

Chu Yuan was much calmer about riding a tiger, standing nonchalantly on its back.

Seeing that the person on its back was in place, the White Tiger immediately spread its wings, soared into the sky, and left towards the mountains beyond.

Damn it!

Chu Yuan on its back, realizing the White Tiger's flight was so rough, immediately dared not stand, forgetting all about his cool image, and promptly sat down in the lotus position, afraid of being thrown off.

Seeing that sitting in the lotus position could stabilize his posture,

Chu Yuan finally let out a sigh of relief.

Looking at the White Tiger he was riding, his eyes still held slivers of doubt.

If even a mount was at the Nascent Soul Realm.

This sect conference must be of not a low level then, but why would they invite their small, Wayless Sect?

Could it be that they were deliberately taking care of these small sects without a way?

That didn't make sense.

Or was it because of his disciple, Ye Luo, that they were able to participate in the conference?

Chu Yuan was still confused, but he shook his head, no longer dwelling on it, and focused on staring at the White Tiger until it reached the destination.

...

Meanwhile, atop the mountain.

Ye Luo and the others certainly noticed Chu Yuan's departure.

But they didn't speak up.

They, too, had heard the announcement that only those at the level of Sect Master could attend.

There was no reason for these disciples to go.

As for their Respected Master's safety?

It was a joke!

If their Respected Master truly unleashed his fury, would this island be enough for a slap from him?

Was there really someone who thought their master was at the Foundation Establishment Realm?

No way, no way.

Even the thought of it made Ye Luo and the others laugh.

If their Respected Master were at the Foundation Establishment Realm, then they would be mere mortals.

Therefore, these disciples didn't concern themselves with this.

Instead, they stood guard in front of the hall where their juniormost fellow sister resided, acting as guardians.

Upon entering the island, Dantai Luo Xue mentioned she had a breakthrough and wanted to go into seclusion. Naturally, Ye Luo and the other two began their guardianship for Dantai Luo Xue.

At the same time, the three of them also engaged in discussion.

"Junior sister's breakthrough speed is indeed fast; though she was the last to join us, she's nearly caught up with us already," said Zhang Han elegantly.

He turned his head to look at the palace of their junior sister behind him.

His eyes held a hint of enlightenment.

Even he felt a threat during this junior sister's breakthrough.

"Nonsense, if junior sister's talent wasn't strong, how could she have been accepted by our Respected Master as a disciple? Besides, our junior sister is quite extraordinary," Ye Luo said with a gleam in his eyes and a hint of a smile.

"Extraordinary?"

Zhang Han was momentarily stunned.

He thought Ye Luo was talking about their junior sister's unique methods and completely missed the deeper meaning in Ye Luo's words...
