Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Misty Mountain, beside the Wu Dao Sect Mountain Gate.

Ye Luo and others were on high alert, their gazes firmly fixed on Baize in front of them.

At this moment, the Baize standing before them was godlike and demonic, its eyes covered with golden light, enveloped by raging winds, thunder clouds rolling above its head, with the ethereal shadow of the divine beast Baize emerging behind it.

An aura of ancient extremity permeated the air.

This aura alone gave Ye Luo and the rest a sense of an indomitable presence.

A thought arose in their hearts.

Should they engage in combat, they would be easily erased.

Whirring sounds...

Ye Luo and the others had no time for extended thought, as the Spiritual Treasures they carried felt their masters' plights and took flight autonomously, shining their light to envelop the four, attempting to resist the ancient aura emanating from Baize.

"Even treasures that haven't reached the Acquired level will loyally protect their masters. Impressive," said Baize, eyeing the Spiritual Treasures as he spoke slowly.

He had intended to do something else.

Boom!

Suddenly, an endless majestic force descended, abruptly interrupting the terrifying aura of Baize, forcibly suppressing it down to the Early Qi Refining Stage, rendering him even weaker than before.

Baize gritted his teeth, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

He could feel it.

The oppression and rejection from the natural order were growing more severe.

It seemed that every time he forcibly burst forth to break free from the suppression, the natural order's oppression and rejection of him intensified.

This time, the suppression directly pushed him down to the Early Qi Refining Stage.

"Senior, are you alright?"

Standing on the other side, Ye Luo and his three companions quickly regained their composure, walked over to Baize, and started asking after him.

Having witnessed that spectacle, they had become convinced that this person was indeed from the same era as their Respected Master.

"It's nothing."

Baize shook his head and steadied himself.

"Senior, was that just now... the aura of heaven and earth?"

Ye Luo's path had a profound connection with heaven and earth, making him incredibly sensitive to this kind of aura; he had caught it in an instant.

Just now, it seemed that the power of the heavens and earth had arrived, suppressing Baize.

"Yes, what just occurred was the force of heaven and earth, the one belonging to the new era. Beings like your Sect Master and I, remnants of the old era, are not permitted to exist by the natural order, which will crazily reject and suppress us," Baize admitted, telling the four of them plainly.

"What? Senior, you and our Sect Master are both subject to the rejection of the natural order??" Zhang Han stepped forward, eyes wide with shock, as he asked.

"Yes, haven't you noticed that Daoist Chu's realm is only at the Foundation Establishment Realm?" answered Baize.

"This... Our Respected Master's fall in realm, isn't it because he's about to Ascend, returning to simplicity and truthfulness??" Su Qianyuan was completely taken aback.

Could it be that cultivation doesn't lead back to simplicity, that the realms don't fall back to Qi Refinement as one cultivates further?

Thinking back, it was precisely because he believed that at the end of one's cultivation, one must shatter their Primordial Spirit and drop their realm to return to simplicity in order to ascend.

And so, he did just that.

What followed was a series of troublesome events.

Though he successfully joined the Wayless Sect, this also led to him being "crowned with a green hat."

"Returning to simplicity and truthfulness? Returning to simplicity means regressing realms as one cultivates? Returning to simplicity refers to the profound mystery of merging with heaven, becoming one with the cosmos. Whose simplicity involves regressing realms the more they cultivate? Could there really be fools who, in pursuit of simplicity and truthfulness, would beat down their own realm?" Baize spoke with an odd tone in his voice.

Su Qianyuan: "..."

The fool was myself.

On the other side, Zhang Han had no interest in watching his third junior brother.

He looked at Baize and asked seriously,

"So, Elder, does that mean our Respected Master is not about to undergo Ascension?"

Zhang Han was somewhat puzzled.

Hadn't it been understood that he was about to become the Sect Master of the Daoless Sect?

And now this new situation had arisen.

Was it actually the case that their Respected Master's realm was merely suppressed by the heavens and earth, and not a return to simplicity and truthfulness?

Was this notion of returning to simplicity and truthfulness all something they had concocted in their own minds?

"That's unpredictable."

Baize expressed that he himself didn't know, whether the venerated one was laying some scheme, or how much he really knew about the matters of the new and old eras.

"Then, Elder Baize, our Respected Master once spoke to us about the existence of Gonggong from the Wu Clan, may I ask if you are aware of this?"

On the other side, Dantai Luoxue, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up to ask.

As these words were spoken.

Baize's golden pupils shrank slightly, as if recalling a memory from the past.

He took a deep breath and managed to calm his emotions.

"Of course, I know. The Wu Clan, descendant of Gonggong, was one of the overlords of our era, and things were not as chaotic as in your current era."

"In your era, any lowlifes can gather a few people to establish a sect, but in the past, founding a sect meant establishing a doctrine, and the relationships involved were far more complex."

Baize spoke with narrowed eyes.

He had traveled all the way from Zhongzhou back to East State and had witnessed many things of the new era.

He had great contempt for these rubbish sects.

"Elder, as for the matter of Gonggong's rage striking Mount Buzhou, do you happen to know of it? If so, could you please share the tale with us?"

Dantai Luoxue's eyes brightened as she asked eagerly.

"Gonggong's rage striking Mount Buzhou? That must have been told to you by your Respected Master, right?"

Baize said rather helplessly.

"Yes, but our Respected Master did not go into detail."

Dantai Luoxue nodded lightly.

"So you came to ask me? Let's not bother with that then. Since your Respected Master is unwilling to speak, there's no need for me to do so. Anyway, Mount Buzhou was once the pillar of the heavens, transformed from the spine of a supreme being, something that supported the heavens and earth."

Baize slowly said. Stay updated with My Virtual Library Empire

After finishing,

he seemed reluctant to say more and stood up, walking towards the mountain gate of the Daoless Sect.

As Baize walked, he observed the mountain paths of the Daoless Sect.

Whenever he saw fallen leaves, he would use something resembling a broom to sweep them away, his figure appearing stooped.

Ye Luo and the other three disciples remained where they were, watching Baize's departing figure, all falling into silence.

They were unsure whether to be silent because Mount Buzhou was the heavenly pillar, or because their Respected Master wasn't about to ascend after all.

"Alright, let's just listen to these ancient secrets and not take them too seriously,"

"Also, regarding the matter of our Respected Master being suppressed and rejected by the heavens and earth, we, as his disciples, may have been ignorant before, but now that we know, we must take action. Let's do our best to search for a solution to this issue."

Ye Luo stepped forward and said softly.

Hearing this, the other three nodded in agreement, finding Ye Luo's words reasonable.

"Alright, third junior brother, fourth junior sister, you two go back to the sect first. As for you, second senior brother, come with me."

Ye Luo felt it was necessary to have a talk with Zhang Han.

He hadn't expected that the second senior brother had become so deeply mired in the delusion.

He truly believed he was the future Sect Master of the Daoless Sect.

Ye Luo was worried that once the second senior brother realized the truth, he might be so shocked he'd lose his wits.

So he thought it was necessary to talk to the second senior brother...
