Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

In Zhongzhou territory.

Atop a mountain peak rarely tread by man.

The Sect Master of Zhenxian Sect, 'Mo Cheng,' had come here.

At this moment, a hint of urgency could be seen on Mo Cheng's face.

His figure was extremely fast, and in just a few moments, he reached the summit of the peak.

After reaching the summit, he slowed down and switched from flying to walking.

Step by step, he approached a cave dwelling that stood erect at the top of the mountain.

This cave dwelling was home to the Supreme Elder of their Zhenxian Sect.

He was also the strongest warrior of their Zhenxian Sect.

The reason Mo Cheng was seeking this Supreme Elder was to discuss the matter of the Wayless Sect acquiring one of the four ancient relic Activation Tokens in Zhongzhou.

It wasn't that Mo Cheng couldn't make up his mind on his own.

But this Supreme Elder had accompanied the former Sect Master to one of these relics years ago and held more authority on matters concerning this ancient relic.

Mo Cheng wanted to hear the Supreme Elder's opinion to decide whether it was worth offending the Wayless Sect for the sake of this ancient relic's token.

Upon arriving in front of the cave dwelling.

Mo Cheng halted his steps.

A hand emerged from his wide sleeve and reached out towards the cave's gate.

A strange rune extended from his palm and entered the cave.

Hum...

When the rune touched the door of the cave, a ripple appeared as if to stop it, but then it vanished in an instant, allowing the rune to enter.

After a moment.

The doors of the cave dwelling burst open.

An even older figure emerged from within.

"Is what you said in the message true? Another Activation Token for an ancient relic has appeared?"

The Supreme Elder immediately asked upon emerging.

"Yes, the specific details, as I have just informed the Supreme Elder through the method of rune narration, have been fully conveyed. This token has already fallen into the hands of a Hidden Sect in East State," Mo Cheng replied, hands clasped behind his back, nodding.

"Since when does East State have a Hidden Sect? How come I've never heard of this? That place has always been weak and remote; how could a Hidden Sect possibly emerge there?"

The Supreme Elder furrowed his white brows, puzzled and confused.

"It's said that this Hidden Sect has a legacy of three million years, far surpassing the era of our existence. Even our Zhenxian Sect hasn't continued for so many years, so it's normal not to know," Mo Cheng explained.

Upon hearing this.

The Supreme Elder's eyes widened.

Three million years??

You must be joking.

How long had he been in closed-door cultivation? Not fifty years, right? And now this news appeared?

A legacy of three million years, what concept is that??

He couldn't even imagine it.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could there be a Sect with a legacy of three million years? It's something that heaven and earth would not allow! It cannot happen!"

"If such a thing could happen, there's no need for me to be the Supreme Elder of Zhenxian Sect. I might as well wash up, go down the mountain, and become a mortal!"

The Supreme Elder simply couldn't believe it.

"But it is true. I've also witnessed just the tip of the iceberg of this Sect's heritage, and from what I see, it is indeed true..."

Mo Cheng said rather helplessly.

He himself found such a matter hardly possible.

```

But as things stand, the Wayless Sect indeed has a far more ancient inheritance, far beyond what they could match.

Four disciples revealed four different kinds of Daoist magic...

And all were brand-new methods that they had never seen before...

The first disciple was enigmatic, facing his enemies with just a single sword strike, temporarily defying any insight.

The second disciple could form arrays with a flip of his hand, employing a novel method of array formation that overturned the old ways.

The third disciple had taken Body Refinement to the extreme, even managing to defeat Ye Wu, the publicly acknowledged strongest prodigy of Zhongzhou.

The fourth disciple was even more formidable. When the fight started, it was almost impossible to see the internal combat, but it was known to be Chess Path.

Each disciple was more divinely skilled than the last.

The one surnamed Chu even liked to pretend to be at the Foundation Establishment Realm, speaking words as if they were the ultimate truths of the universe.

This array of talent was enough to prove the depth of their Sect's foundation.

Mo Cheng recounted these matters to the Supreme Elder with a hint of helplessness.

After listening,

The Supreme Elder also fell silent for a long while.

"So, according to what you've said, this Sect called the Wayless Sect, is in all likelihood a genuine Hidden Sect, with a history longer than our own Zhenxian Sect?"

The Supreme Elder slowly said.

"Yes, but Supreme Elder, my purpose in coming here wasn't to discuss these matters. I wish to know if we should attempt to seize this Activation Token, or rather, make an agreement with the Wayless Sect to enter the Ancient Relic together!"

Mo Cheng nodded and asked.

The relationship between an Ancient Relic and the Wayless Sect...

He was unsure which to choose.

"Should we or shouldn't we? There's no need to seize it, just let the people from the Wayless Sect enter on their own,"

The Supreme Elder said, waving his hand dismissively.

"But... but to just give away the resources within an Ancient Relic to the Wayless Sect?"

Mo Cheng said with a frown.

"Getting hold of the relic will not be that easy. Of course, if the Wayless Sect ends up possessing it, then so be it. Since we didn't try to seize it forcibly, we would have in fact given the Wayless Sect a small favor, which might prove useful in the future, provided that the Wayless Sect really has an inheritance that spans three million years,"

The Supreme Elder said very calmly.

"This..."

Mo Cheng hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to say.

Seeing this,

the Supreme Elder was not surprised at all.

In his opinion, Mo Cheng, as the current Sect Master of Zhenxian Sect, normally prioritized the interests of the Sect, which was more than understandable.

"I said, it only matters if the Wayless Sect truly has an inheritance of three million years. Only then would the favor be of any use."

"Here, take this painting and show it to the Sect Master of the Wayless Sect. If he can recognize the creature depicted in this painting, then surely the Wayless Sect has an inheritance of over a million years,"

"Don't ask what this painting is. I too don't know its nature. It was found in an Ancient Relic, and legend has it that if one can name the creature in the painting, something indescribable will happen. That's what was recorded in the Relic,"

"From what some of the older generation in our Sect observed, this painting has a history of at least a million years, so... just do as I said,"

The Supreme Elder took out a sealed scroll and handed it to Mo Cheng.

Mo Cheng accepted the scroll with a look of confusion.

Wanting to open it, yet hesitant, he looked up at the Supreme Elder.

"Go ahead and take a look, it's fine. It's said that only by correctly naming the creature in the painting may it possibly resonate,"

The Supreme Elder reassured with a wave of his hand.

Upon hearing this,

Mo Cheng immediately unrolled the scroll.

He saw a creature that was simple and unadorned. It had a horn on its head, a body like a lion's, and a goat-like beard on its face, conveying a benign disposition...
