Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Eastern Province.

Atop Misty Mountain, within the Wayless Sect.

Hall of Law Transmission.

Su Xi sat cross-legged quietly in the Hall of Law Transmission, several books placed before her.

At that moment, Su Xi's eyes were tightly closed, as if she had reached a critical moment in her cultivation.

In front of Su Xi, the sealed Starfish still lay there.

Though Starfish could not escape the seal, it could still communicate simply with Su Xi.

Of course, it knew what Su Xi was thinking.

Just a few days ago, this young girl had actually asked it if the spell that briefly controlled people's hearts could be converted into the Secret Art that turned people into puppets.

Hearing this, Starfish naturally said it was impossible.

But then, Su Xi's next words were even more outrageous, directly asking if one needed to control the threads of other people's destinies to make them like puppets...

This completely baffled Starfish.

It didn't know how to respond.

Seeing this, Su Xi had no choice but to commit to arduous cultivation.

"What wild and wishful thinking, 'threads of destiny' indeed..."

"Just a few days ago, she was still a mortal girl. After reading a couple of books, she's already talking to me about threads of destiny. If she can grasp something like threads of destiny, then what's all my lifespan been spent as, on a dog's body??"

"Really, isn't it just fine to diligently cultivate the spell I taught you to control people's minds?"

Starfish ranted endlessly in its mind.

It was truly speechless about this mortal girl.

Not focusing on growing her cultivation and setting it free, she instead wanted to engage in all kinds of fanciful ideas.

Threads of destiny, puppets and all.

If a mortal could show off such tricks, then what was it, this ancient creature that had lived for who knows how long?

So, Starfish merely thought that Su Xi was just an inexperienced calf who didn't know better.

Anyway, the 'Tianyao Saint Monarch' Starfish was making it clear right here.

If Su Xi really could stir up something significant, then it could go back to Lingzhou and swallow the entire Lingzhou whole.

While Starfish was ranting crazily in its mind.

The meditating Su Xi in front finally opened her eyes.

The instant she opened her eyes, a flash of purple light sparked within her pupils.

This light was fleeting.

But it was captured by Starfish.

Starfish was stunned.

It felt something was not quite right with this mortal girl.

But upon closer inspection, she was still a mortal.

So, what exactly was amiss?

Starfish couldn't figure it out.

Su Xi, still in meditation, didn't bother with Starfish's thoughts, her large eyes looking at the several books before her.

Her idea was indeed feasible.

A few days earlier, when she had been struggling to comprehend, she remembered what Dantai Luo Xue had told her – she could come to the Hall of Law Transmission to read. Therefore, she had come here to read.

As she came to the Hall of Law Transmission, she naturally understood that inside it, there were countless cultivation Secret Arts available for study.

However, she didn't take these Secret Arts to cultivate but to read.

Su Xi also remembered what Dantai Luo Xue had told her: Wayless Sect imparted teachings, not techniques; she could read these Secret Arts but was not allowed to practice them.

According to her senior sister Dantai Luo Xue, what she needed was to refer to these techniques and then realize her own path.

Su Xi was very obedient.

Despite looking through so many cultivation Secret Arts, she refrained from trying to cultivate any and just kept reading with hardship.

No matter what the book was, she would give it a look.

It also included the book that details the history of the Wayless Sect, the history of the Respected Master, as well as the experiences and Cultivation practices of the fellow sect members.

Finally, after reading many books,

Su Xi had a flash of inspiration.

Some books recorded that every Mortal has a fate, akin to puppet strings, manipulating the lives of every Mortal.

This fate is like the strings of a puppet, controlling the puppet.

Su Xi felt that this was similar to what the Respected Master had said about the Way of the Puppet. After asking Starfish about it, she began to comprehend it on her own.

She attempted to rely on the Secret Arts she had read about to comprehend a new Spell.

What Su Xi was doing was essentially creating a new Spell.

The risks of creating a new Spell were great; every detail required countless iterations of testing, and the slightest error could easily lead to deviating and going insane.

Ordinary Cultivators dared not attempt to create new Spells.

Yet Su Xi, a Mortal, dared to do so.

When deducing the Spell, Su Xi never failed at any point, as if the heavens were silently blessing her.

Just like that, she successfully

deduced a Spell capable of controlling others through fate itself.

However, since it was newly created, the effects were probably not that good.

"Let's go test its effectiveness,"

Su Xi said, eager to try out the effects of the Spell she had comprehended.

She thought about it and stood up from the ground. First, she put back the books she had placed in front of her to their original spots.

Then, picking up the Starfish, she prepared to leave.

"Little girl, are you not reading anymore and going to work on that fate line of yours?"

A voice came out of the Starfish.

"Sage Lord Senior, I have already developed it,"

Su Xi stopped in her tracks, looked down at the Starfish, and said earnestly.

"Developed it? Little girl, you seem all honest on the surface, but when it comes to lying, you sure are slick,"

Starfish was taken aback and then spoke again, making it clear it did not believe that Su Xi, a Mortal, could play with such fanciful techniques.

"Sage Lord Senior, I really did develop it,"

Su Xi repeated herself.

"I don't believe it!"

Starfish simply didn't believe her.

"Then, Sage Lord Senior, shall I demonstrate it for you to see?"

With no other choice, Su Xi could only say so.

"Fine! You say it's a control over fate lines, right? Okay then, come on, I'll turn off all my defenses for you. Just manipulate them, and if today you manage to injure me in the slightest, from hereon you can call me Tianyao Saint Monarch!"

The Starfish sparkled as its voice came out.

Hearing this,

Su Xi decisively wanted to use the Spell she had realized, to prove herself.

Perhaps due to it being the first time she used the Spell, her movements were a bit awkward.

After using it twice, she successfully cast the Spell she had realized.

As Su Xi cast it, her pupils turned purple, mysterious and enigmatic, and between her ten fingers, invisible to others, strings suddenly appeared.

Su Xi thought to herself.

These strings, as if they had been endowed with a soul, rapidly entwined themselves around Starfish, and within mere moments, they had completely wrapped around Starfish.

During this time, Su Xi felt no resistance at all; she had complete control over the Starfish.

This feeling...

was like the Starfish was her own body, moving as she willed it to move; she could instantly know everything about Starfish.

In front of her, Starfish had no secrets at all...
