Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

The Wayless Sect resided atop a mountain peak.

On a clearing.

Four 'backstabbing' disciples of the Wayless Sect sat cross-legged.

The eldest disciple, Ye Luo, was clad in an Azure Thread Immortal Robe, with his black hair cascading over his shoulders. His handsome features exuded the solitude of a Sword Immortal and the imposing dignity of a Holy Land Master.

The second disciple, Zhang Han, wore a Confucian Robe embroidered with green mountains and water, his hair held up by a wooden hairpin. Every move he made carried with it the demeanor of a scholarly immortal.

The third disciple's attire was somewhat casual, simply draped in a common black robe with a bald head. Blood Qi and Evil Earth Qi swirled around him, clearly a top-level Body Refinement practitioner.

The fourth apprentice, Dantai Luo Xue, wore plain green clothes without much adornment, yet her peerless beauty still drew the eye effortlessly, a noble and chilly grace in her brow, softened by the familiarity of being among her peers.

The four disciples of the Wayless Sect each had their own charm.

Each one of them would have been a peerless prodigy in the outside world.

Yet sitting together at this moment, they appeared harmonious.

The four were engaged in casual conversation.

Naturally, they were discussing the era of their Respected Master's existence.

"Alright, let's keep this matter of the true era of our Respected Master's existence among our generation of disciples. We mustn't let others know, seeing as our Respected Master seems to wish for it to remain a secret," Ye Luo said, shaking his head with a smile.

The other three nodded their heads, signifying they understood.

"However, eldest brother, we should at least inform our junior apprentice sister, shouldn't we?" Zhang Han, stroking his chin, asked.

"Of course, we need to inform junior apprentice sister. Later on, whoever is free can go tell her. As long as it's between our generation of disciples, it's fine to share," Ye Luo said slowly.

"Eldest brother, I suggest we write a book about the era of our Respected Master and place it in the Hall of Law Transmission. Surely our Respected Master will take on new disciples in the future, and this way, we won't have to tell them in person," Dantai Luo Xue suggested after some thought, her red lips lightly parting.

Upon hearing this.

Zhang Han's eyes widened in disbelief.

Our Respected Master will take on more disciples?

Isn't our Respected Master close to Ascension? And still considering taking on disciples?

But thinking about it, since our Respected Master has even taken on this junior apprentice sister, perhaps more will indeed be accepted in the future.

But why would our Respected Master want to accept disciples when so close to Ascension?

Could it be due to concerns that once Ascended, the Wayless Sect would lack a leader, vulnerable in strength?

That was possible.

Having thought this through, Zhang Han understood.

Currently, aside from our Respected Master, the Wayless Sect indeed lacked truly top-tier combat power.

The term 'top-tier combat power' referred to those old monster-level practitioners at the Tribulation Transcending Stage, like Chu Tianhen, the Head of the Mingxian Holy Sect.

Facing such a level of power.

Zhang Han was not confident he could emerge victorious.

Perhaps his eldest apprentice brother might manage to defeat them.

But for the Wayless Sect, it was still insufficient.

There were too many things within the Wayless Sect that were coveted by other sects.

Should the Respected Master be absent, surely many things would happen.

Our Respected Master must be worried about this.

Zhang Han pondered silently.

On the other side, Ye Luo, after hearing Dantai Luo Xue's suggestion, also began to consider its feasibility.

"Junior apprentice sister, that's possible... To just write down this piece of news, we're going to compile it into a book?" Ye Luo asked hesitantly.

"Eldest brother, we could also include the glory of our Wayless Sect, as well as the histories of our growth and the cultivation secret arts we practice. Include all of it in a book," Dantai Luo Xue suggested.

"That's an excellent proposal, junior apprentice sister," Ye Luo said, his eyes lighting up, finding it entirely feasible.

Zhang Han and Su Qian Yuan thought so too, seeing the proposal as viable.

Although their methods of cultivation were peculiar and impossible for others to replicate, their Hall of Law Transmission wasn't meant for disciples to learn Daoist magic anyway.

The Wayless Sect has always transmitted the Dao without transmitting the specific techniques.

The purpose of the Hall of Law Transmission was merely for disciples to enjoy reading.

It was not about truly studying.

Indeed, they could record their own growth experiences and cultivation methods into books and place them within the Hall of Law Transmission.

"Since we all think it's feasible, let's finalize this matter after the Grand Sect Competition ends and we return to the sect,"

Ye Luo nodded and said.

"Eldest Brother, shouldn't we say hello to our Respected Master first?"

Su Qianyuan said.

Hearing this,

Ye Luo lifted his head to look at Chu Yuan's living quarters and thought it over carefully.

"There's no need for that."

"If we have to disturb our Respected Master over such a small matter, we would be rather incapable. I will handle this matter; there is no need to disturb our Respected Master,"

Ye Luo said so.

"Alright, then let Eldest Brother take charge,"

Zhang Han also agreed.

Neither Su Qianyuan nor Dantai Luo Xue had any objections.

Having made their decision on this matter, the four resumed their casual conversation.

After chatting for a while, they parted ways to prepare for the next round of the Grand Sect Competition.

...

Meanwhile,

Inside Su Xi's living quarters.

At this moment,

Su Xi was inside her living quarters, holding a storage bag in her hand.

She poured out the puppets from the storage bag.

Before long, those puppets were laid out on the ground.

Unactivated, the puppets were nearly the same as ordinary wooden ones, only the size of a palm, but they looked quite majestic.

Su Xi did not look at the puppets; instead, her gaze naturally fell upon that peculiar starfish.

She had a feeling.

This starfish was extraordinary.

It was definitely a treasure, and the Respected Master had personally mentioned it; for sure, this starfish was an incredible artifact.

Giving her this treasure was without doubt an affirmation from the Respected Master, and he also intended for her to comprehend this artifact.

But...

She had no clue.

Su Xi silently looked at the starfish in her hand, not knowing where to start.

She did not know how to go about comprehending it.

She had never practiced cultivation before.

On this matter, she lacked understanding and even more so, she did not know how to comprehend an artifact.

"To comprehend, does it mean to stare at this starfish and then discover something? That doesn't seem right..."

Su Xi was somewhat puzzled.

But she dared not ask her Respected Master.

Her heart was very conflicted, she was timid and yet valued her self-esteem highly.

All of this stemmed from her past.

Once Su Xi's thoughts began, they could not be stopped.

She held the starfish in her palm, her eyes slightly vacant as if she had returned to her past.

She was originally a princess from a powerful dynasty in Zhongzhou in the Mortal Realm, living a carefree life, pampered and sheltered.

Under a normal life trajectory, she should have, upon reaching adulthood, tested her aptitude and joined a cultivator sect.

But the good times did not last...

Overnight, their dynasty collapsed.

It was merely because her father refused to bow to a cultivator sect, unwilling to sign some humiliating treaties, that the sect caused their dynasty to collapse.

She too fell from the status of the dynasty's princess to a beggar, struggling to survive...

At this thought,

Rage uncontrollably flashed through Su Xi's eyes...
