Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Before Li Cheng, a series of scenes arose.

It was an extremely vast continent, surrounded by abundant spiritual energy; the restrictions of heaven and earth were lifted, and powerful cultivators emerged in numbers, ushering in a glorious era once more.

However, these powerful cultivators no longer engaged in excessive strife; the cultivation world was predominantly peaceful.

When these powerful cultivators looked in one direction, their gaze was filled with immense respect.

They seemed to deeply revere the existence in that direction...

The footage came to an end here.

Li Cheng wanted to continue watching.

But just then,

a voice exploded by his ear like thunder.

"Audacious!"

"You dare to peer into the future and disturb the River of Time, are you truly not afraid of retribution?!"

This voice also startled Li Cheng, and he no longer continued to watch.

Li Cheng looked up.

He didn't know when, but the path before him had changed.

Ahead of him, the twisted path had reached its end.

At the end of the path, there was a very broad river of flowing light.

The path he was on seemed like a tributary of this vast river of light.

And above this broad river of light, a figure dressed in black, with an unclear face, stood in the void.

The voice that had just spoken belonged to this figure in black.

"What power's young one are you, to dare to traverse the River of Time?! Is the cause and effect meant to fall upon your elders? Who are they, to be so bold?"

The figure in black spoke harshly, with a tone that was quite unfriendly.

"I... Isn't this the Vast Void that leads to other worlds? What River of Time?"

Li Cheng was completely baffled.

"What Vast Void? Are you talking about the neighboring path that leads to the Lower Realm? That one's next door; what are you doing in the River of Time?"

"I really want to see which clan's youngster you are!"

The figure in black was not the least bit polite.

A beam of black light shot out from its eyes, landing on Li Cheng.

When the black light fell on Li Cheng,

another golden light flickered into existence on him, colliding with the black light.

At the same time, countless lines of cause and effect appeared on Li Cheng's body.

Seeing these lines of cause and effect, the figure in black stiffened, as if discovering something unbelievable.

What kind of freak is this?

His body is dense with lines of cause and effect?

Do you have so many lice you're no longer itchy? So you came to the River of Time to skip around and add a bit more cause and effect?

The figure in black retreated several steps in fright.

Fearing to be entangled with cause and effect with this person.

If he got involved, it could be fatal.

"Senior, I am not a junior of any family; I am the disciple of my respected master. Senior, you said I have come to the wrong place, so I will just leave, and you need not be angry,"

said Li Cheng, who had also been intimidated by the attitude of the figure in black.

He turned to leave.

The figure in black wanted to stop him upon seeing this.

But seeing the cause and effect lines covering the other's body, he was truly afraid of being implicated and could only watch the other leave.

The figure in black watched as the other left, taking a deep breath; he intended to turn back,

but then his gaze suddenly fell upon himself.

In his eyes, there appeared a faint line of cause and effect on his body.

This line of cause and effect was directly connected to the direction Li Cheng had departed.

He was now linked by cause and effect to that freak!

"Who exactly is this person to have so many causes and effects!"

The figure in black clenched his teeth; he began to make calculations, attempting to deduce Li Cheng's origins.

After a long time,

he finally managed to deduce it.

"The Immortal Dynasty's Great Tang's scheme?"

Upon obtaining this result, the figure in black was stunned for a long time.

He was unable to snap out of it for quite a while.

He had not expected that by merely obstructing one person, he would provoke such causality.

Now he understood.

This being was indeed someone from the Celestial Tang Dynasty.

Clearly, it had come to attract various causalities.

Being entwined by the thread of causality implied forming ties with the Celestial Tang Dynasty.

The figure clad in black took a deep breath, finding the result infuriating enough to want to hit someone.

He hadn't done anything, yet he had somehow become entangled in this unwanted causality.

"Dammit!"

The figure in black cursed.

But he had no other choice, so he clenched his teeth and turned to leave.

...

Meanwhile,

Atop a high mountain on the Tianjian Continent.

Chu Yuan arrived here.

His gaze swept the surroundings in a circle.

Then he looked again at the azure screen visible only to him.

[Teaching mode activated, searching for a "Worthless Disciple" to instruct…]

[Searching, please wait…]

[Estimated search time: 4 years]

Four years.

He should be quite close to his newest disciple.

He just didn't know where exactly.

Chu Yuan searched everywhere, trying to find a direction to continue moving forward.

Engrossed in his search for a disciple, he was completely unaware of the various events unfolding around the world during his quest.

"Find one, and the system teaches the 'Worthless Disciple', then I can return to the Earthly Realm, with two I can return to the Cellular Realm, with three, I can go back to the Fetal Realm, and with four, I can be reborn…"

"After calculating, roughly eleven more, and I can stand at the pinnacle of this world, becoming part of the Mahayana Realm!"

Chu Yuan calculated in his mind.

Thinking of the term "Mahayana Realm" made his heart burn with longing.

The pinnacle of life was within reach.

He had to give his all.

Perhaps he could rise in one fell swoop.

"For the Mahayana Realm! Push harder!"

Chu Yuan took a deep breath, ready to continue forward.

He had barely taken two steps.

Suddenly, a piercing screech sounded from the firmament above, startling Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan looked up, somewhat annoyed.

He saw a flaming giant bird, its body wrapped in fire, flying past.

The giant bird screeched continuously as it flew.

This annoyed Chu Yuan so much he wanted to hurl a golden halo at it, to smash the bird to death.

Before Chu Yuan could act,

From another direction, a golden dragon suddenly soared into the sky.

As if by some agreement, the bird and the dragon flew toward each other.

The clash between the two creatures began as they drew near.

Each attack from the bird and the dragon was terrifying, with the aftermath capable of flattening mountains.

In just a moment, most of the surrounding mountains were destroyed.

The mountain where Chu Yuan stood was spared.

But the way things were going, it seemed it wouldn't be long before his mountain would be next.

Chu Yuan saw what was happening and felt that the shockwave would soon reach him as well.

As expected,

The battle between the dragon and the bird reached the mountain where Chu Yuan was.

The flaming giant bird, struck by the Golden Dragon, hurtled straight towards the mountain where Chu Yuan stood.

Chu Yuan could no longer bear it.

He instantly invoked the Invincible State, a golden halo forming in his palm, and he slashed it towards the oncoming flaming giant bird…
