Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Within the Eastern Province.

Across from Misty Mountain, amidst Xiangdao Mountain.

At this very moment, on a plaza within the Aspiring Path Sect.

Baize was instructing his one and only disciple, Ning Fan.

"You say that up to now, you can't comprehend a thing?"

"How many days has it been? I'm not asking you to fully understand, just to grasp a trace of the principle would be good, but instead, you understand nothing at all."

Baize's frustration with Ning Fan was evident; he was like a blacksmith who wasn't satisfied with the steel's quality.

How long had he taken this disciple under his wing?

He had taken him as a disciple and taught him 'Daoist magic'.

Yet the other side had not managed to grasp anything.

How could Baize not be angry?

Look at Daoist Chu's disciples, who after just a few days of entry, their cultivation levels soared, constantly claiming enlightenment, each more monstrous than the last.

Why couldn't his disciple do the same?

So much time had passed.

And he couldn't even comprehend a fart.

"Respected Master, you can't blame me, I really have tried my best," Ning Fan muttered.

Ning Fan looked quite different at this moment.

He carried a big sabre on his back, and hung two more on his left and right hips, an Inverse Edge and a Thin Blade, making a flashy impression; his demeanor was there, but his cultivation was not.

"Tried your best? Your talent is definitely not low, I can see that. With high talent and the same cultivation methods as the disciples from the Wayless Sect, why can others comprehend and you cannot? I think it's because you've been slacking off!"

Baize decisively played the 'other people's disciple' card.

"But Respected Master, can other masters be the same as you? They're legendary figures, and you... you don't have any fame..." Ning Fan cautiously said.

Upon hearing this.

Baize, who had only intended to scold him a little, almost slapped his disciple to death.

He was comparing his disciple with those from the Daoless Sect.

This disciple was comparing him to Chu Yuan?

Was that even a valid comparison?

Although Baize felt Chu Yuan might be somewhat stronger in his prime, they were at least of the same level.

Now, with Chu Yuan enjoying 'Mutual Understanding' with the heavens and earth, reaching a consensus to strive towards a brighter future and receiving the blessing of the heavens and earth,

he, who was not yet able to strive towards a brighter future with the heavens and earth, naturally couldn't hope to beat Chu Yuan.

The only difference lay in the support from the power of the heavens and earth.

And this disciple was using that to criticize him.

This was truly...

Baize was at a loss for words.

"Enough, enough. Since you can't comprehend it, I won't force you. I'll teach you something else, practice that for now."

Baize sighed deeply.

He felt his disciple was beyond help.

He might as well provide some cultivation techniques and let this disciple achieve whatever he could, then go look for other disciples.

Just as Baize was about to impart the cultivation technique.

A disturbance came from the distance.

Baize sensed it instantly.

Someone had entered his Aspiring Path Sect.

His gaze swiftly moved towards the outside.

He saw a figure striding through the air, clad in white, hair flowing in the wind, with an ethereal aura, like an exiled immortal.

Around this figure, countless golden points of light revolved, as if arriving with the grand momentum of heaven and earth.

Gazing upon this person, one could easily feel an impalpable sense of inevitability, as if to contend with them would be to challenge the momentum of heaven and earth itself.

This person was naturally Chu Yuan.

Watching Chu Yuan approaching, Baize couldn't help but be momentarily stunned.

"It seems that Daoist Chu's cooperation with heaven and earth has deepened."

"How nice..." Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire

Baize felt a bit sour and quietly uttered the words 'how nice'.

With his keen vision, he could clearly see.

The golden light spots surrounding Chu Yuan had become stronger, or rather, Chu Yuan's control over those golden light spots had become stronger.

In Baize's view, this undoubtedly signified that the 'cooperation' between heaven and earth and Chu Yuan had moved to a higher level.

"Daoist friend."

Chu Yuan walked slowly, arriving at the Aspiring Path Sect's plaza and carefully examining the surrounding buildings.

"Daoist Chu, you've returned."

Baize also stepped forward, greeting Chu Yuan.

"Yes, I've just come back not long ago. I heard that you--a Qi Refinement scum... cough cough, heard that you've actually built a sect here. Out of curiosity, I came to take a look."

Chu Yuan misspoke for a moment, almost revealing his true thoughts.

Fortunately, Baize didn't hear clearly, simply thinking that Chu Yuan had come over to look around.

"Indeed, I've established a sect. It's all in the interest of cooperation. By the way, I haven't had a chance to ask, I've built a sect on the big mountain opposite yours, you don't mind, do you?"

Baize inquired.

"I don't mind at all. Daoist friend, you're quite capable, actually managing to build such a large sect."

Chu Yuan looked at the sect and clicked his tongue in amazement.

A little Qi Refinement trash could actually construct such a grand sect.

That's really quite impressive.

"No, you misunderstand, Daoist friend. This sect wasn't built by me, I had the bother of asking your disciple for help to construct it."

Baize gave a reply.

"My disciple?"

Chu Yuan raised his eyebrows.

The only disciple he had in the sect who could be employed to build another sect was probably Divine Doctor Hua, right?

Did Divine Doctor Hua run out of the Divine Weapon Pavilion after all? Before he left, he had told Divine Doctor Hua to stay in the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

"Yes, your disciple, it's Tu..."

Baize was about to say it was Tu Xuexi and Tu Yelin, so as not to confuse Chu Yuan.

But before he could finish his words, Chu Yuan interrupted him.

"Alright, I know who it is, no need to say more. But Daoist friend, the one behind you, is that your disciple?"

Chu Yuan looked with interest at Ning Fan's unique appearance.

A term surfaced in his mind.

Three-sword style?

This Daoist Bai Zhe sure knows how to have fun.

"Yes, he is my disciple."

"Ning Fan, why don't you come over and greet Sect Master Chu? This is the Sect Master of the Wayless Sect whom you talk about every day."

Baize gestured towards Ning Fan.

Ning Fan, who was standing not too far away, immediately walked over, his eyes shining as he looked at Chu Yuan, who seemed like a banished immortal. His legs were trembling.

That was from excitement.

"Indeed, I am the Sect Master of the Daoless Sect; Ning Fan, you must be the disciple of Daoist Bai Zhe."

Though Chu Yuan found the young man in front of him oddly peculiar, he didn't think much of it.

"Yes, Sect Master, it's me!"

Ning Fan's face flushed with excitement.

"Hm? What did you call me?"

Chu Yuan was about to encourage Ning Fan, but when he suddenly heard what Ning Fan said, he was a bit taken aback.

This Ning Fan, isn't he a disciple of Baize?

Calling him Sect Master?

To those unaware, it would seem as though the Aspiring Path Sect was under the umbrella of his Daoless Sect.

"Sect Master, oh Sect Master, I have to tell you, I admire you so much. Your deeds are known throughout the world; I know every single one of them by heart—ah, Respected Master, what are you doing…"
