Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Overseas of Tianjian Continent.

The wild storm raged chaotically.

An oddly,shaped creature stood quietly at the center of the storm.

Rolling monster qi surrounded this strange being.

This creature gazed into the firmament.

There was no confusion in its eyes, only a cold harshness.

"Demon Master! Come over for a chat!"

All of a sudden, the creature turned its gaze toward the direction of the Tianjian Continent and abruptly spoke.

As its words fell.

Whoosh...

A gust of hurricane swept in from the Tianjian Continent.

The hurricane blew, completely dispelling the wind, rain, and monster qi.

The next moment, the Demon Master arrived, appearing in front of this being.

"Ji Meng!"

"How could you possibly still be alive!"

"You were clearly utterly perished, soul and spirit gone, how could you possibly resurrect in this era!"

The Demon Master, upon arrival, uttered these words.

His eyes were wide open, as if he could hardly believe it.

Those like him who had awoken, had all been through a great battle.

Those who had died completely in that battle were absolutely unable to be revived.

Such as the person before him, with soul and spirit gone, he had witnessed it himself, how could it be possible for him to resurrect.

"By the command of the Heavenly Dao, resurrected here, to execute the orders of the Heavenly Dao, Demon Master, won't you heed the command?"

'Ji Meng' spoke in a cold tone.

"Heavenly Dao? Which Heavenly Dao? The Heavenly Dao of the New Heaven and Earth?"

The Demon Master paused for a moment.

"The Heavenly Dao has always been one, what do you think?"

Ji Meng spoke with urgency and authority.

"Now it is a New Heaven and Earth, the Heavenly Dao is the New Heavenly Dao, the era is a new era, and we, remnants of the old era, could be purged at the slightest carelessness."

"Which Heavenly Dao it is, I hope you can make it clear."

The Demon Master shook his head, his expression very grave.

He was extremely cautious.

If you do not clarify.

I will certainly not pry any further.

"Tsk tsk, who would have thought that the once-bold Demon Master has become so cautious? Then, it would not hurt me to tell you, it is the Old Heavenly Dao, the one that belongs to our era."

Ji Meng looked the Demon Master up and down, clicking his tongue in wonder.

"Times change, sun and moon rotate, the Heavenly Dao is replaced, how could the Old Heavenly Dao still exist."

The Demon Master took a deep breath and asked.

"Because we are still here, we are the symbols of the old era, we're still here, so the Old Heavenly Dao won't disappear, at most unable to show itself."

Ji Meng said with an expressionless face.

"So, what is the command the Old Heavenly Dao has given you?"

The Demon Master asked after nodding ever so slightly, signaling he understood, and then inquired.

Upon hearing this.

Ji Meng did not reply right away.

Instead, he stood with one hand behind his back and slowly extended the other hand.

In the palm of his hand, an ancient rune slowly materialized.

This ancient rune contained a trace of the authority of heaven and earth, but more than that, it exuded a majestic will, as if displaying a once,grand realm of heaven and earth, the scene of an age of great strife.

Different from the current world.

"Now that the New Heavenly Dao reigns over the world, all remnants of the old era are within its scope of purging. Once we are purged, the New Heavenly Dao could rest without concerns."

"Conversely, the Old Heavenly Dao needs us badly. Only with our existence can the Old Heavenly Dao possibly return to prominence."

Ji Meng replied, clearly not addressing the question.

"So, what exactly is the command that the Old Heavenly Dao has given you?"

The Demon Master pressed on, his gaze fixed intently on Ji Meng.

"To help the Old Heavenly Dao, to return!"

Ji Meng spoke out coldly, spelling out these few words.

"The dispute over the Heavenly Dao is not for us to decide. What can you do with such a command from the Old Heavenly Dao?"

The Demon Master couldn't help but ask.

"Do you know that the Old Heavenly Dao is not incapable of appearing in the world, it only needs certain conditions to do so?"

Ji Meng looked up at the firmament.

He bore the mark of the Old Heavenly Dao, which could shield him from the New Heavenly Dao, so he wasn't afraid of misspeaking and being overheard by the New Heavenly Dao.

"It's impossible! The transition of the Heavenly Dao has already been completed, how could the Old Heavenly Dao possibly reappear?" The Demon Master frowned tightly.

"Do you know that when the Heavenly Dao transitioned, one rule was left behind, one for the Old Heavenly Dao – a rule that states 'only in Catastrophic Tribulation can it emerge.'"

Ji Meng stated this very calmly.

Upon hearing these words,

The Demon Master's pupils constricted.

How could he not understand?

He wasn't foolish.

What the Old Heavenly Dao meant was that it wanted to stir up a Catastrophic Tribulation in this heaven and earth and take the opportunity to replace the New Heavenly Dao.

And to incite the Catastrophic Tribulation was to disrupt the balance of the world, thereby inducing it.

"This… Is this your awakening mission?" The Demon Master took a deep breath.

"Do you, obey?" Ji Meng looked at the Demon Master and said sternly.

"Is there a specific plan for how to start the Catastrophic Tribulation?" Instead of obeying immediately, the Demon Master continued to inquire.

It was not hard to see that he was very cautious by nature.

"No plans are needed. Simply settling scores with the generation of prodigies from the new era will naturally break the balance."

"Remember, Demon Master, you don't have a choice. You are a man of the old era; the New Heavenly Dao will not tolerate you. Even if you have special means to survive, it will be in vain," Ji Meng said quickly.

"Can you give me time to think about it?" The Demon Master asked, frowning.

"Yes, you and I will stay here. Whenever you've made up your mind, we can talk about the rest," Ji Meng said.

After this, he spoke no further.

He extended his hand, and a trident flew into his grasp.

Then Ji Meng stood there quietly.

He made no other move, yet the winds howled and the storm raged around him, as though it were a natural extension of his being.

Seeing this, the Demon Master also refrained from speaking further and began to ponder deeply.

…

In the blink of an eye,

Three days passed.

There was still no outcome between Ji Meng and the Demon Master.

But at the Tianjian Continent, the moment had arrived for Chu Yuan's Sect assessment.

Golden-winged Peng Ancestral Land.

Thanks to Jin Yu, Chu Yuan was brought into a cave dwelling.

It was euphemistically called a retreat.

Inside the cave dwelling,

Chu Yuan stared unblinkingly at the azure screen in front of him that only he could see.

[Time until Sect assessment: Seven minutes and twenty-one seconds]

It would soon be time for the next Sect evaluation.

He was about to possess a physical body once again.

The feeling of having a physical body…

It was truly addictive.

Chu Yuan took a deep breath and calmed his mind, waiting patiently.

He needed to be mentally prepared to recondense his physical form.

But then again,

If all three of his disciples turned out to be failures, that would mean advancing three major Realms.

However, should one disciple succeed against the odds, he could only advance one major Realm and two minor Realms.

Speaking of which, if by chance one of those three disciples did accidentally succeed, wouldn't he only be able to return to the Cellular Realm?

Becoming a cell??

That wouldn't be good.

The two Realms before the Earthly Realm—the Cellular Realm and the Fetal Realm—were both undesirable.

If he carelessly regressed to either of those Realms, that would be awkward indeed.

He could only hope that not a single one of his disciples had made an unexpected breakthrough…
