Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Eastern Province.

Outside the Xuan Song Seventy-two Mountain Range, a mountain gate stood tall, barring others from entering the mountain range.

Above the gate, four characters shimmered in faint golden light, elegantly inscribed like the movement of dragons and snakes—Taiyi Sword Sect!

At this very moment.

A figure approached this place, wishing to pass through the gate and ascend.

This figure appeared to be only in his early twenties, dressed in a Confucian robe, with black hair fastened with a wooden hairpin, his features clear and handsome, emanating the refined grace and amiable air of a peerless scholarly immortal.

This person was Zhang Han.

After descending the mountain, Zhang Han had originally planned to visit the neighboring Yun State of East State.

But then, his thoughts shifted.

He wished to pay a visit to his elder martial brother, Ye Luo.

After inquiring around, he learned of Ye Luo's deeds in East State. Feeling admiration for his elder brother's strength, he arrived at the Taiyi Sword Sect, with the intention of meeting Ye Luo.

Zhang Han approached the mountain gate.

He gazed from a distance at the rather majestic gate.

"Elder brother truly is worthy of being the elder brother, having just left the sect not long ago, yet he has founded a Cultivation Holy Land, the Taiyi Sword Sect... 'From the Dao comes one, one gives rise to two, two gives rise to three, and three gives rise to all things.' Tsk tsk, elder brother indeed has grand ambitions."

Zhang Han said, filled with emotion.

It has to be said that personally founding a Cultivation Holy Land is indeed a very fulfilling accomplishment.

But compared to inheriting the position of Sect Master of the Wayless Sect, it still falls a bit short.

Especially since he had snatched away the position of Sect Master of the Wayless Sect, which should have belonged to his elder brother.

That feeling...

The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to laugh.

Cough cough.

It's better to be serious.

It would not be good if his elder brother saw him laughing here.

Zhang Han got his emotions under control.

He had intended to stride straight into the Taiyi Sword Sect.

But just as he was about to step through the gate.

Two Nascent Soul Realm auras descended from the sky, blocking Zhang Han's path.

"Who might this fellow Daoist be? Our Taiyi Sword Sect is not yet fully established. If you wish to visit, please come again after the sect has been completed!"

Two elders standing on flying swords flew out from beyond the gate, radiating their formidable presence in an attempt to pressure Zhang Han.

Zhang Han, who was just about to lift his foot, paused for a moment and silently retracted his extended leg.

Looking at the two Nascent Soul Realm figures in the sky, he was quite taken aback.

The Taiyi Sword Sect founded by his elder brother was so domineering.

Using Nascent Soul Realm cultivators as gatekeepers.

But now was not the time to ponder these matters.

Zhang Han gathered his wandering thoughts and looked up at the two elders.

"I am a disciple of the Wayless Sect. The Sect Master of the Taiyi Sword Sect is my senior brother. Please inform him that Zhang Han has come to visit."

Zhang Han didn't look down on these gatekeepers because of their roles; on the contrary, he spoke in a very warm and friendly manner.

"The Wayless Sect?!"

The two elders on flying swords exchanged glances, their eyes filled with astonishment.

In these times, who didn't know that the Hidden Sect of East State was the Wayless Sect?

Especially with the recent rumors about the Wayless Sect not being few.

Most importantly, their Taiyi Sword Sect had deep connections with the Wayless Sect—their Sect Master hailed from the Wayless Sect, and upon founding the holy land, he had declared the Wayless Sect to be the ancestral court of the Taiyi Sword Sect.

Now, someone from the Wayless Sect had come to visit, and this person was none other than Sect Master Ye's junior brother?!

"Esteemed sir! Please wait a moment, we will inform our Sect Master immediately. It's not that we refuse to let you in at once, but it is a rule set by the Sect Master."

The two elders hurriedly dismounted from their flying swords.

"I understand, please go and inform him."

Zhang Han smiled politely.

The two elders nodded and quickly gathered their mana, shooting a stream of Sword Qi light toward the inside of the mountain gate.

This was a unique communication method of their Taiyi Sword Sect.

"Please wait a while longer, esteemed sir!"

The two elders repeated.

Zhang Han smiled amiably, refraining from saying much.

He stood quietly, waiting for the message to reach its destination.

After a moment had passed,

a streak of light flew back from the other side of the mountain gate. Find your next read at empire

An elder reached out his hand to catch the light.

"Elder, Sect Master has ordered that you may go up by yourself; he is waiting for you at the main peak,"

the elder said respectfully.

"Alright,"

Zhang Han nodded in response, not surprised in the least.

He and Elder Martial Brother Ye Luo had a fairly close relationship.

If Elder Martial Brother had really come down the mountain to meet him, that would have been rather unfriendly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Instead, allowing him to go up on his own more clearly demonstrated their relationship.

As this thought crossed Zhang Han's mind, the array beneath his feet surged to life, and he flew into the mountain gate.

Upon entering the gate,

he saw mighty and majestic mountain peaks stretching up before him.

Above the peaks, a variety of buildings were under construction.

The Taiyi Sword Sect was clearly not yet fully built.

But the concentration of spiritual energy within the Taiyi Sword Sect was already quite dense.

At least, it was much denser here than at the Wayless Sect.

Zhang Han took in everything within the Taiyi Sword Sect as he flew deeper inside.

Though he did not know where the so-called main peak was, he could sense the presence of Ye Luo.

"Elder Martial Brother Ye Luo, oh Elder Martial Brother, let your junior brother give you a surprise and see if you can find me,"

a faint smile flashed in Zhang Han's eyes.

A thought arose,

and the array beneath his feet shifted.

His presence concealed, his Divine Sense undetectable.

Meanwhile, Zhang Han sped up, heading in the direction where Ye Luo was.

In just the time it took to drink a cup of tea,

Zhang Han arrived above the main peak.

He easily spotted his Elder Martial Brother,

for at this very moment, the latter was in a square, speaking with ten young people about something.

It seemed as if he was instructing disciples.

"Oh? Has Elder Martial Brother taken in disciples? I'd like to see how Elder Martial Brother teaches his followers,"

Zhang Han, standing within the array above, was intrigued and was in no hurry to reveal himself. Instead, he set up several more Concealment Arrays to ensure his Elder Martial Brother would not detect him.

He then hid within the array, observing the Elder Martial Brother teaching below.

...

Atop the main peak, in a square,

Ye Luo was looking at the disciples he had taken on during this time.

A total of seven.

Four males and three females, all of them prodigies.

At this moment, Ye Luo was speaking to these seven disciples.

"I have already shared with you the secret techniques of comprehending the Dao, reminding you to look up more when you have nothing better to do, so, after looking for so long, has anyone seen anything?"

"Speak one by one, whether you noticed something or not,"

Ye Luo said, his hands clasped behind his back, speaking indifferently.

His voice reached the ears of the seven disciples,

yet none dared to reply, all of them bowing their heads.

Internally, they were all frantically complaining.

He just had them look up at the sky.

What on earth could they see?

Other than finding the sun rather blinding, they saw nothing at all.

But they dared not say this.

For if they did, they were certain that the one in front of them, the 'Taiyi Sword Honor,' would definitely say again,

Back in the day, I just sat on the ground, gazed at the sky for half a day, and attained enlightenment. This is something anyone with eyes can do. Are you saying you don't have eyes...
