Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Misty Mountain, within the Wayless Sect.

Since Chu Yuan and the others had returned, the Wayless Sect had found itself in a brief period of fervor.

However, this fervor didn't last long before it died down.

Soon after, the Wayless Sect once again fell into quietude.

Ye Luo descended the mountain and returned to the Taiyi Sword Sect.

Zhang Han, after setting up the formation, also left the mountain.

Su Qianyuan, after abducting that axe, went back to the mountainside, seemingly threatening the axe to forcibly recognize a master, and then went silent.

Dantai Luoxue had become a homebody, spending every day in her palace in contemplation, occasionally having Li Ergang send over some dishes that nourished the soul.

The newly initiated Su Xi also followed Dantai Luoxue's example, secluding in her palace for contemplation, turning Li Ergang into a deliveryman.

As for Chu Yuan...

This guy kept fussing over the invitation letter, not sure what he was figuring out.

All in all, despite the quietness within the Wayless Sect, inside it was actually very busy.

The only one with leisure time was Baize.

Every day, Baize would show up somewhere in the Wayless Sect, broom in hand, sweeping the ground.

On this day.

Baize, as usual, broom in hand, swept near the Grand Hall Square, his figure hunched.

His movements were crude, but within every action, there was an inexplicable charm that filled the air, as if what he was doing at the moment wasn't simply sweeping, but performing some kind of art.

After sweeping for a while.

Baize slowly straightened his back and cast a golden glance towards the Ancestral Master Hall.

"The years of this sect..."

"Are truly ancient."

Baize muttered softly.

These past few days, as he swept in various places around the Wayless Sect, he had also been observing it.

The more he observed, the more his doubts grew.

Because he could tell, every building in this sect was extremely ancient.

Ancient to the point where even he could not discern their exact age!

This confusion troubled Baize greatly; he was certain, whether it was Daoist Chu or this palace, both were from the same era as him.

But he knew absolutely nothing about Daoist Chu.

And he equally knew nothing about this sect.

"Could it be Daoist Chu disguised this sect? Or are you saying he restructured these sect buildings?"

As Baize pondered, he suddenly understood.

He could see that within those sealed buildings, everything was empty.

Only the buildings themselves bore the weight of years...

Perhaps Daoist Chu had obliterated everything inside and reconstructed these buildings.

By doing so, he had avoided the rejection of heaven and earth and successfully preserved them!

So, what was the Wayless Sect's predecessor?

That was something Baize couldn't figure out.

Without Chu Yuan speaking up, Baize alone really couldn't guess.

"Enough, enough, if I can't figure it out, then let it be. By following Daoist Chu, sooner or later, I'll be able to see what he is truly planning."

Baize shook his head, preparing to continue sweeping.

Just then.

A strange aura emerged.

Upon sensing this aura, Baize instantly locked his gaze in one direction.

That direction was precisely where the disciple residences were located.

And his gaze specifically locked onto Su Xi's palace.

"I was wondering why Daoist Chu would take a mortal as a disciple, maybe I'm the one with the narrow view. However, there are two distinctive auras inside, one belonging to that young girl's special physique, the other... similar to the aura of an extraterrestrial being?"

"Daoist Chu seems utterly unmoved by this breath? Is it confidence in that little girl, or do you think that my intervention is sufficient?"

Baize murmured softly, then shook his head with a smile, a glint flashing in his eyes.

His aura began to leak out bit by bit, as if it were deterring something.

...

Meanwhile.

Inside the palace of Su Xi.

At this moment, Su Xi sat on an extravagant bed, her small hand clutching the starfish while her eyes stared blankly at it, not quite understanding what was going on.

Around her, countless golden specks floated.

Below the floating golden specks.

The starfish in her hand was emitting a black light.

The golden specks and the black light merged together.

It was as though they were competing against each other.

At any rate, Su Xi was completely oblivious to this.

Under her dull gaze.

The black light on the starfish gradually overpowered the golden specks, then slowly transformed into a human-shaped apparition.

This apparition stood before her, shaped like a starfish, with numerous tentacles on both sides, an extremely ugly face, and a body that exuded a repulsive aura.

As if it originated from the dark abyss, from an extremely malicious existence, the source of all evils.

As it emerged, it was repelled by the world around it.

"You mortals, daring to release me? Aren't you afraid that I'll massacre your Eighty-two Provinces?!"

"Mortal, what are you staring at!"

"I am speaking to you, don't you know to show a frightened expression? By acting like this, you're making me lose face!"

The apparition spoke, its voice dreary and grating like the friction of iron against stone, extremely unpleasant to the ear.

The apparition stared intently at Su Xi, as if it wanted to tear her apart to vent its anger.

On the opposite side, Su Xi's face remained blank, completely unaware of what was happening.

Finally, after a moment, Su Xi snapped back to reality, her face showing a look of horror.

"Who are you?!"

Her timid voice rang out.

The apparition on the other side: "..."

So melodramatic.

Are you mocking me?

Is your reaction arc really that long???

Never mind, never mind.

After all, she's just a mortal with a special physique. Just kill her and get out first.

The Starfish Apparition was about to take action, a tentacle just barely raised, but before it could touch Su Xi.

In front of it, a Baize apparition began to faintly emerge.

The appearance of the Baize apparition immediately made the Starfish Apparition feel a deadly threat.

This sense of threat filled it with boundless terror.

Reflect on the Starfish Apparition, it too was a Heavenly Demon from another domain that invaded Divinity Continent during Ancient Times.

Upon its arrival, it wreaked havoc in Divinity Continent, once slaughtering an entire province alone, and later it was forcibly sealed by some mighty beings, until today when its seal was inexplicably broken, and a wisp of its Primordial Spirit managed to emerge from the starfish.

But to encounter such a terrifying existence the moment it is released???

It remembered that none of the many mighty beings who had sealed it had such an existence, right??

"Who might you be??"

The Starfish Apparition asked, barely concealing its fright, while silently gauging the distance its Primordial Spirit needed to return to the starfish, wondering if it could escape back before this strange being could react.

"Wayless Sect, Sweeping Old Man."

In front of it, the Baize apparition slowly began to speak...
