Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Chapter 467 467: 486

In the central region of Jiangzhou.

Chu Yuan looked at the mystical sign in his hand, dazed and confused; he didn't quite understand its meaning.

However...

That didn't prevent him from grasping one of the implications.

The dark clouds in the sky were very likely that so-called Demonic Qi Seed.

It was just that he couldn't figure out the other meanings of the sign.

After pondering for a moment,

Chu Yuan decided to use the System to investigate and see what exactly was going on above.

With a thought, a deep blue screen instantly coalesced in front of him.

[Investigation Target: Demonic Qi Seed]

[Race: Demon—Primordial Demonic Qi]

[Cultivation Levels: None]

[Physique: Bloodthirsty Demonic Physique]

[Evaluation: This Demonic Qi is of primordial origin; at this moment, it is Untransformed. The Demonic Qi has no innate talents and can only increase its Cultivation Levels through the blood of living beings.

If the Host takes it as a disciple, under the premise of preventing it from coming into contact with the blood of living beings, the chance of it achieving success will be zero.]

So it really was that thing.

The Demonic Qi Seed.

Does that mean, if it doesn't touch even a drop of blood, there's absolutely no chance it will succeed?

Chu Yuan suddenly realized.

Immediately thereafter, a tinge of envy rose within him.

Look at what's explained by the System here.

This thing increases its Cultivation Levels by coming into contact with blood.

Isn't that like cheating?

I get stronger just by coming into contact with blood?

Isn't that essentially the same cheat as his?

He had to teach a Worthless Disciple to grow stronger.

Compared to that, this Demonic Qi Seed seemed much simpler.

Chu Yuan shook his head, suppressing the various thoughts, and turned off the System's investigation screen.

He stood up, ready to charge into the dark clouds and capture that Demonic Qi Seed.

Just then,

a Divinity Transformation Realm presence rushed from afar and swiftly joined the battlefield, instantly suppressing all the cultivators whose eyes were red with rage and who were still fighting relentlessly.

Chu Yuan looked down curiously.

He saw an old man dressed in a brocaded cyan robe, with an imposing aura, alongside a handsome young man, subduing the entire battlefield.

Chu Yuan noticed this old man.

The old man also noticed Chu Yuan.

But the old man merely glanced at the Protective Golden Light around Chu Yuan and didn't pay much attention to Chu Yuan's presence.

After realizing that he couldn't see through the Protective Golden Light surrounding Chu Yuan, he slightly frowned but didn't dwell on it.

The old man looked at the battlefield strewn with destruction, then glanced at the group of people he had subdued into unconsciousness, and shook his head.

"Zhong'er, you see, this is what happens when one's strength is insufficient, but their greed is great. Affected by the Demonic Qi, they have lost their minds to it and have descended into such chaos,"

the old man imparted to the young man behind him.

The young man didn't listen to what the old man was saying; instead, he turned his attention toward Chu Yuan.

"Teacher, all these people have been influenced; why hasn't that person been affected?"

the young man asked, very curious.

"That person? The Golden Light around him is probably from a powerful protective treasure. Considering his youthful appearance, one can easily deduce that he is likely a disciple of some major Sect."

"Moreover, Zhong'er, if you observe carefully, his footing is unstable, akin to a wandering ghost, clearly indicating a shaky foundation and thus, lower Realm. Such a person, even if they belong to a major Sect, isn't worth our effort to make connections. That's why I merely glanced at him and didn't bother looking again. Do you understand, Zhong'er?"

The old man said with equanimity.

"I see,"

the young man said, suddenly enlightened, nodding in agreement.

"Hmm, I, the Mysterious Elder, am also quite renowned within the Divinity Transformation Realm of the Divinity Continent, and not everyone is worthy of my conversation,"

the old man 'Mysterious Elder' spoke evenly, his words containing an undeniable pride that couldn't be hidden.

"The teacher makes a good point, but since this person is very likely from a major sect, I should still make his acquaintance,"

the young man Xiao Zhong thought for a moment and then said.

"Well, you young ones go and meet him if you like,"

Mysterious Elder pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement.

"Alright, Teacher,"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhong stood up and flew towards Chu Yuan.

...

Above the Firmament, Chu Yuan naturally noticed the approach of the youth.

He did not give it much thought, his attention was entirely on the clouds above.

He was estimating how he could obtain that so-called Demonic Qi Seed.

The young man Xiao Zhong approached Chu Yuan and stopped not far from him, facing Chu Yuan and performing a greeting of equals with cupped hands.

"Fellow Daoist, I am Xiao Zhong, a disciple under Daoist Mysterious of Haoran Academy in Jingzhou. I was passing by with my teacher and stopped to clean up the aftermath. May I ask which sect does the fellow Daoist come from?"

Xiao Zhong introduced himself with a smile.

"A rogue cultivator from East State, Chu Yuan,"

Chu Yuan thought for a moment and casually replied.

He did not mention his own background.

After all, in his view, these two seemed to be here to snatch the Demonic Qi Seed; they were bound to fight over it, so there was not much to say.

"East State? May I ask if it is Sword Dao East State?"

Xiao Zhong's eyes lit up when he heard Chu Yuan was from East State, and he asked a question.

"Sword Dao East State?"

Chu Yuan was somewhat baffled; East State was East State, what Sword Dao East State?

"Oh, Daoist Chu might not be aware, but we outsiders refer to East State as Sword Dao East State. East State's swordsmanship is the finest on Divinity Continent."

"In recent years, the practice of Sword Dao has become even more prevalent, and thus East State is referred to as Sword Dao East State. Since Daoist Chu hails from East State, I don't know if you practice swordsmanship. If you do, Daoist Chu, you must show it to me. I hold the Sword Dao of East State in high esteem,"

Xiao Zhong said with a smile.

His words were very enthusiastic, and he seemed to want to get to know Chu Yuan better.

"Is that so?"

Chu Yuan was taken aback; he had never heard of this Sword Dao East State before.

"Fellow Daoist might be a dedicated cultivator, no? Otherwise, how would you not know about these matters? East State's sword, Yun State's formations, Cang State's chess, Gu State's physique—all of these are renowned across Divinity Continent."

Xiao Zhong continued to make conversation with Chu Yuan.

"East State's sword, Yun State's formations, Cang State's chess, Gu State's physique?"

Chu Yuan was puzzled but impressed.

"Forget it, Daoist Chu. Let me explain it to you properly,"

Xiao Zhong then began to explain to Chu Yuan.

He spoke about the strength of the swords of East State.

The wonder of Yun State's formations.

The mystery of Cang State's chess.

The savagery of Gu State's physique.

He spoke with such fervor that it was mesmerizing.

Chu Yuan couldn't help but yearn for it.

If he didn't have his own limitations and his talent wasn't so lacking, he would have definitely joined these sects and earnestly pursued cultivation.

Unfortunately, it's a pity he had limitations.

"Daoist Chu, let me tell you, the wonders of East State are not only about the Sword Dao, there is also..."

Xiao Zhong wanted to share more with Chu Yuan.

But just then,

suddenly, an extraordinary phenomenon arose in the Firmament.

Rolls of purplish-red clouds surged, and within them, there appeared to be a swirling mass of dark red mist.

Seeing this,

Chu Yuan didn't hesitate. He burst forth with all his energy, and in an instant, the momentum of heaven and earth seemed to empower him. He reached out for the dark red mist.

The stunned Xiao Zhong: "?"

Is this really someone of my generation?
