Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

In Zhongzhou territory, on an island palace,

the grand gathering of ten thousand sects had already begun.

Above and below the stairs, the isolating formations that separated the two areas had also been activated, and everyone started to converse.

The grand gathering of ten thousand sects was less a conference and more a chance for everyone to meet and chat.

It also served to help people forge closer relationships.

After all, following the grand gathering was the grand competition of ten thousand sects.

If a disciple was defeated, it was inevitable to feel a bit disgruntled, so drawing closer to each other could prevent the sects from fighting each other due to dissatisfaction.

Although the grand gathering of ten thousand sects had begun and the formations between the stair's areas were open, the two sides were still distinctly separate.

The Holy Lands conversed with one another, with nobody daring to speak to those from the Hidden Sects on the stairs, fearing they might displease them.

Zhuang Shu was being repeatedly urged by many to strike up a conversation with Chu Yuan, which scared him pale, and he kept making excuses to refuse.

The area above the stairs, however, was very quiet compared to the bustle below.

Chu Yuan was embodying an attitude of speaking less and staying silent more, just sitting there cross-legged.

Other representatives from Hidden Sects, seeing Chu Yuan's silence,

thought he must like quietness,

and thus also took to sitting in silence like statues.

This made the platform above the stairs extremely quiet.

It was so quiet that it felt eerily out of place.

Fortunately, Wu Yue was quick on his feet, aware of their situation, and he stepped out from his desk, approaching Chu Yuan to break the silence.

"Sect Master Chu, during our last visit, I didn't get much of a chance to converse with you - a real shame. Let's take this opportunity to have a chat," he suggested.

"Also, to everyone else, since we're idle anyway, why don't we pick a topic and talk together?"

Wu Yue said, smiling.

"Certainly, certainly,"

the representatives from Zhongzhou Hidden Sects nodded in agreement.

Hearing this,

Chu Yuan's expression stiffened.

Pick a topic and chat together?

Chat my ass.

I'm not even on the same level as you guys.

You all are genuinely awesome, but I'm just bragging.

What's there for us to talk about?

Am I supposed to advise you on the things to be aware of during the early stages of Qi Refinement?

Chu Yuan's heart suddenly felt a bit anxious.

But he didn't dare to refuse.

He just nodded stiffly.

"Okay,"

Chu Yuan barely uttered a word.

Seeing this,

Wu Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to speak,

but before he could, some representatives from the other Hidden Sects cut in first.

In their eyes, this was a chance to grasp what specific heritage the East State Hidden Sect focused on.

"Elder, why don't we discuss the Dao?" one suggested.

"The Dao? Good, good. Elder, let's talk about this," another added.

"Alright, it's settled. Let the elder decide; whatever the elder wants to talk about, we'll discuss that," everyone quickly chimed in.

The representatives spoke in succession.

What they didn't know was, Experience more content on empire

that as they brought up this topic,

Chu Yuan was taken aback.

After a while, he felt like laughing.

Discuss the Dao? You should have said so earlier.

He was well versed in that topic!

He had bluffed his way through this topic with several disciples already.

Nobody knew this topic better than him!

What he said,

nobody could contradict!

Chu Yuan relaxed a bit.

"Fine,"

Chu Yuan said once more.

The representatives of the Zhongzhou Hidden Sects' eyes brightened.

One of them immediately stepped forward.

"Since we're to discuss the Dao, someone should lead the way. Allow Poor Dao to begin, I am at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage and hail from one of Zhongzhou Hidden Sects, the Zhen Tian Sect," he declared.

"Our Zhen Tian Sect has a heritage spanning over two hundred thousand years, producing innumerable prodigious talents throughout its history. The strongest among them was Ye Xuan Immortal Monarch from a hundred thousand years ago, who first articulated our Sect's mastery— the Seal Dao!"

"Each leaf a world, such is the basic Dao of our Zhen Tian Sect. Within each leaf, a world is contained, using the power of a world to suppress the opponent…" he expounded with pride for his Sect.

The others didn't pay much attention to his words.

Once he finished,

they took turns speaking.

"Poor Dao is from the Mingxian Holy Sect, one of the Zhongzhou Hidden Sects. Our Sect specializes in curses. All living beings, as long as they have a spirit, are entwined with all kinds of karma. And a curse is but a means to provoke the karma in others, causing their spirits to be tormented to death by the rebound of their own karma!"

"Poor Dao belongs to Wan Hun Hall…"

"Poor Dao…"

Each person described the Dao of their own Sect.

One by one, they took their turn, maintaining an orderly flow.

About fifteen minutes later, it was Chu Yuan's turn.

The others fell silent, even activating a soundproofing formation to quiet the surroundings,

anxious to hear what Chu Yuan had to speak.

The information about the East State Hidden Sect matter was what they were most keen to learn about; the rest was trivial.

Meanwhile, Chu Yuan looked stunned, struggling to collect his thoughts.

This... this is too impressive?

What he said was all about showing off, but the things these people talked about were more likely to be genuine.

Another round of "me bragging, and you being truly remarkable"…

After a good while,

Chu Yuan finally gathered his wits, aware that all eyes were on him, signaling it was his turn to share.

He took a deep breath,

mentally searching for the right words.

How should he speak to impress them?

Well, the goal was to impress them.

So, he thought, let's go with what's most impressive!

With this in mind, Chu Yuan waved his sleeve, stirring up a gentle breeze.

He paused for a moment, then prepared to speak.

Chu Yuan began...
