The Sect Master Is Having An Existential Crisis!

-Knock -Knock -Knock

Arriving at the door of his master’s room, Wushu Shengli knocked thrice and waited for his master’s response.

“Come in, the door is open.”

A soft creaking sound was produced when Shengli opened the door.

After receiving his master’s permission to enter his room, Shengli immediately cupped his fist but didn’t bow to his master when he entered the room.

His master had told him before to only bow when it was in a public setting. But for private meetings such as this, Shengli didn’t need to bow to his master.

“Disciple greets master.”

Shengli politely greeted his master, and as usual, he waited for his master’s response.

He saw his master sitting on a futon while drinking tea from a jade-colored tea cup. Spiritual Qi was emanating from the tea, so from Shengli’s guess, it wasn’t an ordinary tea but a spiritual tea.

‘As expected of master, he has good taste. That tea must be brewed by a cultivator who pursues the Tea Ceremony Path or even the Brewing Path.’

‘If master likes tea, then I might gift him some spiritual tea if I ever received one from the sign-in system. It’s the least I can do as master’s disciple.’

With that thought in his mind, Shengli awaited his master’s response.

After sipping his tea for several seconds, Zhou Aotian lightly placed the teacup on his exquisite wooden table. From the wood’s quality alone, one could guess that it was a thousand-year-old aged wood and was built by a master craftsman.

That alone proved how wealthy the Transcendence Sect’s master was. After all, the Transcendence Sect was one of the top three sects not only due to its powerful forces but also its accumulated wealth.

A wave of spiritual Qi was released from Zhou Aotian’s body as the spiritual Qi collided with Shengli’s body. After peering through Shengli’s cultivation base, Zhou Aotian was shocked!

“Shengli, did you take some forbidden pills? Why is your cultivation base at Golden Core Realm? It’s even at the 9th Stage!”

“No wait, taking forbidden pills to raise one’s cultivation base would harm the cultivator’s foundation. But from the quality of your spiritual Qi, there aren’t any impure remnants from intaking pills. Your spiritual Qi is even higher in quality than your cultivation base!”

Zhou Aotian questioned his disciple but deep down inside, he was delighted that his disciple’s cultivation base had improved by leaps and bounds in just half a day!

‘As expected of talent above Nine Heavenly Stars! Their cultivation speed couldn’t be measured by common sense!’

‘Even the founder of the sect’s cultivation speed wasn’t this fast! Not to mention, the first forefather, even my cultivation speed isn’t this fast when I was Zhou Aotian’s age.’

Zhou Aotian was praising his disciple in his heart while thinking of a present that he could give his disciple for his disciple’s successful cultivation breakthrough.

“No master, I didn’t take any pills and whatnot. I only relied on my effort of pursuing immortality. I won’t cut corners as much as possible or else my foundation would be as unstable, as what you have said before.”

Shengli diligently answered Zhou Aotian’s question.

He wasn’t lying since Shengli wasn’t interested in taking forbidden cultivation pills as he was well aware that it would be detrimental to his cultivation. But if it’s a cultivation pill from his sign-in system, then Shengli wouldn’t hesitate to consume it as long as it was useful to him and didn’t have any substantial side effects.

“As I expected, you are too talented. As long as you don’t slack off in your pursuit for immortality, it wouldn’t take that long for you to surpass me.”

“But as your master, I have to remind you not to be arrogant and narrow-minded. You never know that the old beggar in the street is a hidden powerhouse or the bullied servant is the prince of another country.”

Hearing his master’s teachings, Shengli couldn’t help but feel that his master’s wisdom wasn’t that bad.

‘I even start to doubt whether master has read the cultivation novels in my former world. Since most powerful yet arrogant cultivators would look down on beggars and servant boys yet they get face-slapped in the next chapters.’

‘Or, did master experience that in the past? If so, then it’s good that master had learned from his lessons since most cultivators are too arrogant that they don’t acknowledge their mistakes.’

While Shengli was thinking of that, he kept nodding toward his master to indicate that he was listening to his master’s lecture.

“I forgot to ask this, but why have you come here to see me? Have you finished learning the Heavenly Transcendence Art and Divine Melodic Sword Art?”

Sitting with a graceful posture, Zhou Aotian faced his disciple and asked his disciple about the purpose of his visit. Even if Zhou Aotian was a powerful cultivator, he wasn’t all-knowing.

“Yes, master. I have not only learned both the Heavenly Transcendence Art and Divine Melodic Sword Art, but I have also mastered it.”

Maintaining his respectful demeanor and polite tone, Wushu Shengli replied to his master’s question.

And from what Shengli observed on his master’s face, his master was stunned by the results of his training but his master tried to hide it to not induce an ungraceful expression.

“Cough! I see…”

Letting out a fake cough to clear out his embarrassment, Zhou Aotian was starting to doubt his talent.

‘Am I trash? Or my disciple is too talented?’

‘It took me three days each to learn the Heavenly Transcendence Art and Divine Melodic Sword Art. As for mastering it, it took me four months to master the Heavenly Transcendence Art and five months for the Divine Melodic Sword Art.’

‘I thought I was a monster to have those achievements since even my master took six months to master those cultivation techniques.’

Zhou Aotian was having an existential crisis while slightly reminiscing.

As someone with a 9-star cultivation talent, Zhou Aotian was very talented but even he paled in comparison to a monster like Wushu Shengli.

‘Sigh, I’m too old for this shit.’

‘At this rate, it won’t be long for Shengli to inherit the sect master position. I will just fulfill my role of preventing Shengli from being led astray!’

With that determination in mind, Zhou Aotian shifted his attention back to Wushu Shengli.

“My disciple, are you ready to live at your Cultivation Palace?”

    Sitting on a lotus position on a spiritual crystal platform, Wushu Shengli mobilized the spiritual qi inside his body.‘From what master had told me, the method of breaking through Nascent Soul and attaining Incarnation Soul is to dissolve the golden core into spiritual qi and use it as a nourishment for the nascent soul.’‘But by doing so, the qi sea will be flooded with abundant spiritual qi which would have chances of causing spiritual qi overdose. That is why most cultivators would take a soul formation pill and qi sea fortification pill to increase the chances of preventing that from occurring.’‘Of course, I don’t need such pills. My spiritual qi quality is so high that I don’t even need to dissolve my golden core and I can just use my spiritual qi to nourish my nascent soul and attain Soul Incarnation Realm.’Thinking about his spiritual qi that was comparable to soul incarnation realm cultivators, Wushu Shengli didn’t take any pills which would only prove a hindrance to his in

I have reached Freedom Attainment Realm 1,000,000th Stage!” But before the young man could rejoice, he noticed that the skies above him suddenly opened as a rift in space was created. When the rift in space was created, millions of celestials from the fairy domain, the domain above the immortal domain, had exited the rift in space and descended into the mortal domain! It wasn’t allowed for even immortals from the immortal domain to descend into the mortal domain, let alone those celestials from the fairy domain.

It was impossible for even those at the Freedom Attainment Realm Ninth Stage to invade the Transcendence Sect.Only a group of Freedom Attainment Realm Ninth Stage cultivators could ever hope to destroy the divine-grade array in the Transcendence Sect. Aside from Wushu Shengli, no one could ever destroy the divine-grade arrays that he had constructed.Wushu Shengli had already told Luo Tian about the situation of the Luo Clan and under Luo Tian’s request, Wushu Shengli had already destroyed all of the ancient clans that had bullied the Luo Clan before.Because of that, there were no longer eight ancient clans in the mortal domain.

In other words, their hearts and minds were filled with chaotic emotions.But before they could react to Wushu Shengli’s actions, Wushu Shengli restored his hair color and eye color to their original color and then took out a pill bottle from his storage ring.

If the void was destroyed, then those cultivators would be sucked into the deep void. As for the space deeper than the deep void, it was unknown to most cultivators since even they didn’t know about its existence.If Voidbreak Realm cultivators could enter the void, then those at the Freedom Attainment Realm were powerful enough to destroy the void and enter the deep void.Battles between Freedom Attainment Realm cultivators were said to fight in the deep void according to history.

    Two Swords To Slay The Celestials!

    Facing the fourth form of the Divine Melodic Sword Art, Wushu Shengli remained calm and indifferent as if two sword slash from Law Defiance Realm Ninth Stage cultivators were nothing but a breeze in front of him.Wushu Shengli didn’t plan on countering the Forefathers’ divine melodic sword art with another divine melodic sword art. After all, that would expose his true identity especially when all of the forefathers aside from the First Forefather and Second Forefather had known about his perfect usage of the divine melodic sword art.It would be a dumb move if he did that. A prank that was exposed wasn’t worthy to be called a prank. Only the prankster could expose his prank, not the ones who got pranked.With that in mind, Wushu Shengli decided to use his self-created sword art. With a tree branch on his right hand, Wushu Shengli performed the first form of his Supreme Sword Art“One Sword To Overturn The World!”After performing his sword stance, Wushu Shengli swung his tree branch

He is the little sister of my disciple and my disciple is the future of our Transcendence Sect!

    Wushu Shengli's Dilemma Regarding Jin Shen Hong

    Hearing Wushu Shengli’s words, Zhou Aotian and the rest of the forefathers didn’t jump to conclusions yet. After all, there was indeed a possibility for Wushu Shengli to be Jin Shen Hong’s biological brother.From what Zhou Aotian knew, Jin Shen Hong came from a commoner family and was then auctioned into the Yellow River Auction House. And since Jin Shen Hong possessed the Yin-Yang Embodiment Physique, it wasn’t impossible for her to come from a noble background.After all, there were indeed cases where the heirs of powerful clans didn’t even know about their powerful background and were left to fend for themselves in the ruthless cultivation world.Not to mention, Wushu Shengli’s current appearance, although he was wearing a mask, they could still see the resemblance between Jin Shen Hong’s appearance to Wushu Shengli’s.Jin Shen Hong had golden blonde hair and crimson red eyes and Wushu Shengli also had golden blonde hair and crimson red eyes. If both of them were standing beside e
