Fantasy: I'm Really Not A Supreme Master!

"What?!"

Seeing this scene, Mo Zhi's eyes froze.

He looked utterly shocked, staring at Xinning in disbelief.

How was this possible…

The Book of Dao that he had struggled to comprehend for seven thousand years—this little girl…

In just an instant, she grasped it?

No, wait, it wasn't even comprehension!

She merely glanced at it casually…

And then just understood everything…

What kind of monster is this?!

"You… how did you do it??"

His voice quivered slightly as he spoke, "Such a profound Dao—how could you possibly grasp it in an instant?"

Xinning had already stepped onto the twentieth step of the Dao Platform. Hearing this, she paused slightly, then responded curiously:

"Um… it seemed… not that hard??"

Seemed… not that hard…

At this moment, Mo Zhi felt as though his very soul had been pierced.

Seven thousand years of contemplation, only for a little girl to tell him… it wasn't hard??

"This part is pretty straightforward. Look, first this way, then that way, and then like this… Actually, the content of this book is quite shallow and flimsy. You could just glance at the table of contents; there's no need to read the rest."

Xinning said this casually.

But Mo Zhi, at this point, felt like his dignity was being utterly destroyed… Just the table of contents? No need to read the content??

At this moment, for the first time in his life, he felt his pride trampled underfoot—one stomp, followed by another!

Shattered, completely!

"No, wait…"

Suddenly, he realized something. What Xinning described…

First this way, then that way… and then like this…

Those simple words suddenly brought a glimmer of insight to the thought processes that had trapped him for millennia!

As he pondered her words, his thoughts began to flow, as though walking down the grand highway of truth, each step broader than the last…

Suddenly, clarity dawned! His hand trembled as he reached out to unravel the profound Dao described in the book!

At this moment, the problem he had struggled to solve for thousands of years… was broken through.

The twentieth step of the Dao Platform opened up to him…

"So that's how it is… That's how it is…"

He looked up, gazing at Xinning. At this moment, a flicker of complexity appeared in his aged eyes.

What she said was true…

But how on earth could something so difficult be reduced to a few brief, precise words by her?

Not to mention, her summary was absolutely accurate!

This… This was terrifying.

"Who… exactly are you??"

For the first time, he asked the question with utmost seriousness.

Xinning laughed and replied:

"Me? I'm Big Brother's little sister."

Her eyes sparkled with an unparalleled pride and special radiance.

She had once been one of the twelve ancestral forebears, one of the Ten Honored and Two Vicious Ones, the Demon Fiend, and even the Demon Monarch of the Xuantian Realm… Yet none of those identities mattered to her.

"Big Brother's little sister" was the only answer in her heart, her sense of belonging, her sanctuary.

"Elder, if you want to learn, I can teach you… Big Brother always said that the halls of knowledge should be open to everyone, regardless of wealth or status, age, or gender. All who yearn for knowledge deserve wisdom's grace."

Xinning spoke earnestly.

She could sense the dark, ominous aura emanating from Emperor Mo Zhi, yet she firmly believed in what Li Fan had taught: in the face of knowledge, everyone is equal.

At most, she thought, after teaching him everything, she'd just kill him afterward!

Yes, that would work. It wouldn't violate Big Brother's teachings, nor would it go against her own principles.

But upon hearing her, Mo Zhi's face stiffened as he retorted:

"I am a learned emperor—what need do I have for a child like you to teach me?!"

"I merely faltered for a moment; such mistakes are only human! The remaining contents of the Book of Dao, I will naturally grasp with ease!"

With that, he opened the Book of Dao on the twentieth step…

And was instantly dumbfounded.

Because this twentieth step's book…

Was far more complex than what had been on the nineteenth step...

This—this would be beyond him, even in fifty thousand years of effort...

And at this moment, Xinning once again moved forward. The Light of the Great Dao bloomed, and profound truths unfolded. She… passed through effortlessly yet again!!

He was once more left in utter shock. This little girl… could she be any more monstrous??

"You… didn't read the contents again?"

He blurted out instinctively.

Xinning replied:

"Yep… the content's all fluff, no substance. Just skimming the table of contents is enough."

All fluff…

Mo Zhi felt his mental state unraveling, collapsing again and again…

After hesitating for a long time, he finally couldn't hold back anymore. Stammering, he said:

"This book… how should one approach it? Could you… give me some more guidance…?"

…

Just one chapter today.

Goodnight.
