Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Yunzhou, within the mountain ranges

Dozens of disciples of the Yunzhou Holy Land listened as their Third Elder recounted how their Holy Land went from its glorious peak to decline.

None had a good look on their face.

But they didn't say much.

All eyes were focused on Zhang Han.

Zhang Han's ability to form arrays with a single thought, and that terrifying power, were all witnessed by them.

It was a groundbreaking method of array formation.

If he were willing to become the Master of the Holy Land, they would definitely agree to it.

However...

The man himself seemed rather reluctant.

Watching Zhang Han deep in thought, the dozens of people fell into silence, quietly waiting for Zhang Han's answer.

Whether he still wanted to become the Holy Land Master or not.

A full two incense sticks' worth of time passed.

Seeing that Zhang Han hadn't snapped out of it,

The elderly couldn't hold back anymore.

"Fellow Daoist, are you considering whether or not to become the Holy Land Master?"

"Don't just assume the Holy Land is a mess and decide you don't want it. Though the Holy Land is gravely injured now, its foundation remains. With you residing over it, I'm certain it will regain its vitality very quickly."

"Think about the foundation of a Holy Land! Once you become the Holy Land Master, all of this will be yours!"

The old woman pleaded earnestly.

"Ah? What?"

Zhang Han, who was still deep in thought, suddenly snapped to attention and turned to look at the old woman.

"Hmm? Weren't you pondering whether to become the Holy Land Master?"

The old woman was taken aback.

"No, you're thinking too much,"

Zhang Han rolled his eyes.

He wasn't contemplating the matter of being the Holy Land Master at all.

He was considering whether someone with the surname Ye might have a special fate bonus.

Whether his future offspring should recognize his senior brother as their godfather so they could legitimately inherit the Ye surname.

Who knew that these people were actually thinking about making him the Holy Land Master...

Tsk.

Zhang Han only had one thing to say about this.

I really don't want to be the Holy Land Master!

"Fellow Daoist, you truly do not want to be the Holy Land Master?"

The old woman asked, looking helpless.

"Not interested, alright, I've got things to do, so I'll be leaving now,"

"Wait, Fellow Daoist, won't you reconsider it once more?"

"No reconsideration. Your Holy Land might even be under Ye Chen's watch by now. If I become the Holy Land Master and get targeted by Ye Chen, what then? So please, stop bothering me about it."

"It's fine, it's all fine. Since the previous Master of Yunzhou Holy Land fell, the Cultivators Alliance has introduced accidental life insurance for immortals; you could buy a policy..."

"...Goodbye!"

"Please wait, Fellow Daoist!!"

Zhang Han couldn't take it anymore. He decisively activated an array, soared into the sky, and summoned the Taiyin Star, which was still two hours away from its shift, casting a Trapping Formation to block the group's approach.

He then left straight away.

Flying as fast as a thief.

Fearing that the group might catch up to him again.

The crowd, trapped by the Taiyin Trapped Immortal Formation on the spot, watched Zhang Han leave so decisively and quickly and began to panic.

"Fellow Daoist, wait!"

"Come on, let's all make a move and break this trap…"

"This Trapping Formation seems to be the Taiyin Trapped Immortal Formation. If we can find the Array Eyes and poke them, we can easily break the formation!"

"I found it, the Array Eye is in the sky, on that Taiyin Star!!"

"Huh?? And you're going to explode the Taiyin Star??"

Everyone spoke out.

In the end, they found that they had absolutely no way to deal with the Trapping Formation.

They couldn't break the formation with brute force; with their power, they couldn't shatter it in one blow.

They attempted a different approach, preparing to slowly grind down the energy of the Trapping Formation, only to discover that it was being powered by the Taiyin Star.

Unless they could deplete the Taiyin Star of its energy,

the thought of breaking the Trapping Formation was a wishful fantasy.

But to exhaust the Taiyin Star...

even thirty thousand years wouldn't be enough.

As they pondered this revelation, despair suddenly set in.

"Rest assured, fellow Daoist must have his own considerations, and I estimate the Trapping Formation will untangle itself in less than two hours. Alas, the fellow Daoist's formation techniques are truly formidable. It would be splendid if he would consent to become the Master of the Yunzhou Holy Land,"

the crone uttered as she stepped forward to comfort everyone softly.

She looked up in the direction where Zhang Han had departed.

Even though Zhang Han had been consistently rejecting her, she couldn't help but feel an intuition—

that one day, Zhang Han would come to their Holy Land and become its Master.

This was merely an intuition,

yet it endowed the old woman with a sense of certainty that it would manifest into reality.

The crone chuckled to herself, temporarily disregarding the fact that she was still trapped within the Formation.

...

Elsewhere,

after Zhang Han had flown for two hours and confirmed he had shaken off that group of people, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

These people were incredibly persistent.

Tsk tsk.

Nobody would believe this if he told them:

a group of Holy Land Disciples imploring him to take the position of the Holy Land Master, only to be rejected by him.

Had his future not been set as the Sect Master of the Daoless Sect, he might have accepted the offer.

But the irony lay in the fact that he was destined to be the Sect Master of the Daoless Sect, a Hidden Sect with a three-million-year heritage, compared to one that could barely boast a five-thousand-year history at best.

Only a fool would choose to become the Master of a Holy Land over that.

Certainly, Zhang Han had no intention of becoming the Master of a Holy Land.

If he were to accept that position, he could devour the entire collection of array materials in East State as well as Yun State—without leaving a single piece behind!

"Speaking of which, it's time to dismantle the Formation,"

Zhang Han muttered to himself, and with a mere thought, he dispelled the Trapping Formation.

At the same time, he severed his connection with the Taiyin Star.

After disconnecting, Zhang Han raised his head to see the Taiyin Star still hanging high in the firmament, leading him to wonder why the Taiyin Star hadn't vanished.

Upon reflection and a slap to his forehead,

he realized that two hours had passed.

The Taiyin Star was on its shift now.

This was quite convenient.

He had saved the Taiyin Star the trouble of traveling back and forth.

Such a diligent Taiyin Star was laudable indeed.

Zhang Han sighed appreciatively.

Ever since his eldest senior brother had sealed off heaven and earth with a single move, thwarting his technique of formation arrangement through the power of the elements,

Zhang Han had contemplated a countermeasure.

After some research, he came up with the only solution,

which was to become more acquainted with the corresponding celestial body from which he sought to borrow power.

If their familiarity was high enough, he would be able to overcome such heaven-and-earth sealing methods.

And how to become more familiar...

Of course, that required borrowing power more frequently.

Thus, Zhang Han began to borrow the Taiyin Star's energy day and night, using it whenever the opportunity presented itself.

The working hours of the Taiyin Star, which were supposed to be six hours a day, were forcibly stretched by Zhang Han to eight or nine hours...

Luckily, the Taiyin Star was incapable of complaining.

Otherwise, Zhang Han would have truly been in a sorry state.

However, Zhang Han paid no attention to these considerations.

At that moment, he turned his gaze toward a city ahead of him.

He planned to refresh himself within the city and inquire about the location and status of the Dragon Monarch before meeting the very Dragon Monarch who had been defeated by his Respected Master…
