Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Inside the palace.

Chu Yuan's cultivation level plummeted to the Early Qi Refining Stage Peak, his face pale as paper.

He really wanted to ask about the well-being of Zhang Han's and Su Qianyuan's families.

Damn it, was he just backstabbed?!

He didn't even know what had happened before his disciples became successful?

Su Qianyuan!

Zhang Han!

What the hell are these two?!

One without a Spirit Root, one without a soul, and they could both succeed? Damn it!

Looking at the information the system provided, one of them had something called an Innate Array Heart and somehow awakened the Array Heart, while the other was even more outrageous, lacking a soul but claimed to have passed on the Body Refining Technique to the other.

He knows Body Refining?

He knows?

He knows??

If he knew, would he still pathetically go steal... go borrow cultivation techniques from the Changhe Sect?

He knows how to boil a kettle!!

All he had ever done for these two disciples was to bluff them from start to finish!

If one could succeed just by bluffing, why hadn't he succeeded?

Could it be the entire world except for him is endowed with the protagonist's halo, as the Child of Destiny, with unrivaled fortune?!

Chu Yuan was mentally exploding.

Especially when he thought of how this damned disciple Zhang Han pretended to be honest but gave him the shock of a lifetime with a massive betrayal, he was even more enraged.

He seemed so honest and like a mortal.

But in the last minute of the check, he suddenly transformed into the Divinity Transformation Realm!!!

Such a scheming bastard!!

Compared to Su Qianyuan.

Chu Yuan was angrier with Zhang Han, this disciple he usually trusted completely.

The more he trusted him normally, the angrier he was now.

He hated this.

His Golden Core, ah!

Gone and never to return!

All the grandiose plans for peaking at the Golden Core Realm, casually advancing to the Nascent Soul, and beginning his unstoppable reign...

All gone...

Chu Yuan's mental state collapsed, completely devoid of fighting spirit.

If he weren't in the Qi Refinement Stage now, he'd definitely go and strangle Zhang Han right this moment.

As for Su Qianyuan.

In view of Zhang Han, this scheming bastard, Su Qianyuan didn't seem so hateful anymore.

This Su Qianyuan who suddenly grasped the Earth Fiend Body Refining Technique must have been influenced by Zhang Han!!!

Chu Yuan took a deep breath, trying to salvage his mental state.

Try to endure it, but the more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

Thinking of the commentary the system gave him, telling him not to work against the system, made him even angrier.

When did he ever work against the system?

Was that working against the system?

He should go and have a word with the heavens.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was the heavens that were working against the system!!

Phew...

Chu Yuan exhaled heavily, stood up, and prepared to walk out of the palace.

He wanted to find Li Ergang, to see if there were any dishes and drinks available, to drown his sorrows.

Chu Yuan walked out of the palace.

He had just walked out.

A figure flashed before him.

The figure that appeared before him was Zhang Han.

At this moment, Zhang Han, dressed in a Confucian robe that billowed without wind and with hair that was usually tied up now unraveling and wildly dancing in the breeze, had an air of authority not yet fully reined in from his breakthrough, projecting an aura of a scholar who could command the world with a stroke of a pen.

Zhang Han looked at Chu Yuan with joy on his face.

"Respected Master! You've come out of seclusion!"

"Master, I have some good news for you, I have broken through to the Divinity Transformation Realm! I have not let you down!"

Zhang Han managed to suppress his joy, speaking in a very refined manner.

He simply couldn't contain his excitement.

How long had he been practicing diligently?

When energy was converging, he chose not to breakthrough but to accumulate.

He kept on accumulating until today when he finally broke through to the Divinity Transformation Realm.

All of the pent-up emotions exploded in an instant.

The 'teaching' bestowed upon him when he first became a disciple.

The 'great expectations' his master had placed on him.

The 'idea' that his master wanted him to inherit the position of the Sect Master of the Wayless Sect.

All these made him suppress his feelings, wanting to perform well to show his master that he had not misjudged him.

And now, today, he had given his master a surprise.

Look, just look!

What a curious expression his master has on his face now.

It must be because he is seeing his disciple finally succeed, and his complex feelings are making his face complicated as well.

What Zhang Han didn't know was this.

A murderous intent was slowly rising in his master standing before him.

Chu Yuan, standing opposite, stared at his disciple with a highly complex expression on his face.

If he were at the Tribulation Transcending Stage now,

He would definitely smack this unfilial disciple to death.

Unfilial disciple, oh unfilial disciple!

You pretend to be obedient at face value, but secretly, you're a sly old fox!

But now he's just at the Qi Refinement Stage.

And he can't really do anything to this disciple.

"Good! Good! Really good!"

"You must cultivate well! Your teacher has some things to attend to, so I will leave first!!"

Chu Yuan gritted his teeth and squeezed out the three 'goods' from between them, then turned and left.

Fearing that if he stayed any longer,

He would lose control of his emotions.

Zhang Han, left alone, touched his head, watching his master's retreating figure.

Why does his master's tone seem a bit off?

Is it because his master is feeling joy but doesn't want him to see it, so his tone is peculiar?

No, no!

He must control his mindset and not be arrogant!

He is the future Sect Master of the Wayless Sect, and he must not be proud and conceited.

Zhang Han silently admonished himself, suppressing the somewhat inflated thoughts inside him.

Now, with the strength of the Divinity Transformation Realm and using his Innate Array Heart to set up formations enhanced by mana, his powers had increased significantly.

Most importantly, with mana supporting his spirit, he could set up dozens of formations in an instant.

When fighting against others, it was literally like using the formations to smash his opponents.

"However, speaking of which, the aura of my master has weakened a lot again. When I first met him, he was at the Nascent Soul Realm, then suddenly dropped to the Golden Core Realm, and now he's at the Qi Refinement Stage."

"My master's aura has been steadily declining."

"Could it be that before Ascension, one has to reverse-cultivate once? When my master reverse-cultivates to the Mortal level, will that be the time for his Ascension?"

"If that's the case, then I must accelerate my cultivation. Relying on the Divinity Transformation Realm probably won't be enough to preside over the Wayless Sect."

Zhang Han muttered to himself.

He was no longer elated about his current realm.

Instead, he was filled with fighting spirit for the upcoming cultivation.

Practice hard!

Inherit the sect!

Become the new master of the Hidden Sect!

Breaking through to the next realm, however, will not be easy.

The Tribulation Transcending Stage, this pinnacle realm among mortals, is much more difficult to break through than the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Mere diligent practice is hardly enough to achieve Tribulation Transcendence.

He must find an opportunity to leave the mountain to gain experience.

Zhang Han was already planning for his future…
