Become the Strongest Master With a Genius Student

“Look! There’s a cultivator flying. How is he able to do that?”

“Typical village folk who have never seen a high-level cultivator! Of course, a cultivator can fly if they’ve reached the Nascent Soul level!”

“Nascent Soul! Doesn’t that cultivator seem incredibly powerful? Even among the elders in my sect, only a few have reached the Golden Core level! And this person is already at the Nascent Soul level!”

“Fool! Not all sect elders are as weak as yours. Look at his attire; it’s clear he’s an elder from the Great Thunder Sect!”

Listening to the conversation of the cultivators around her, Ruan Xiaoyue realized the level of the middle-aged cultivator floating above. She was also curious about how strong a Nascent Soul cultivator really was. Driven by curiosity, she tried asking Senior Xue.

“Senior Xue—”

“It’s Sister Xue.”

“Senior Xue, I—”

“It’s Sister Xue. You won’t be able to ask unless you call me Sister Xue.”

“Sigh… Sen-urgh, Sis-Sister Xue, I’d like to know just how strong a Nascent Soul cultivator is?”

"Hehehe, alright. Sister Xue will tell you. Actually, you’re quite fortunate to ask Sister Xue, who has directly witnessed the only Nascent Soul cultivator from your sect, which is my master. Although Sister Xue hasn’t seen my master’s full strength, as the sect leader of the Immortal Grass Sect, at least my master has informed me that if a Nascent Soul cultivator were to seriously exert their full power, the destructive impact could easily destroy a small mountain."

“Besides such immense power, Nascent Soul cultivators can also fly thousands of li without using any tools. Unlike Golden Core cultivators who need tools like swords to fly, even if it’s just for a few hundred li. Well, it also depends on how much qi the cultivator has. Even a Building Foundation cultivator like you can fly if they have enough qi to use the technique.” Senior Xue explained at length while patting Ruan Xiaoyue’s head.

“By the way, Little Ruan, what level are you currently in your cultivation, if Sister Xue may ask?”

“Little Ruan… sigh, I’m currently at the Early stage of the Golden Core level.”

“As I suspected from the aura you’re emitting.”

“You can tell from the aura around me? How can I conceal it?”

“You can hide it if you learn techniques to conceal a cultivator’s qi. Unfortunately, Sister Xue doesn’t possess such techniques. Since you’re already at the Golden Core level, you should be able to fly, right?”

“Fly? I can’t. My master didn’t teach me how to fly.”

After saying this, Senior Xue patted Ruan Xiaoyue’s head and looked at her with pity, whispering, 'Such a pitiful child. Even though you’re extremely talented, you haven’t been pampered at all. Either your master is a weak cultivator lucky to have you as a disciple, or your master despises you so much that they haven’t provided you with proper clothing, weapons, or techniques.' Unfortunately, Ruan Xiaoyue couldn’t hear the whisper due to the noisy surroundings.

As they were talking, the floating cultivator, or the elder from the Great Thunder Sect who had been silent until now, suddenly emitted a threatening aura and spoke in a low yet audible voice to all the cultivators watching him.

“Quiet!”

Just with his voice and aura, all the standing cultivators knelt down, and some even fell prostrate and spat blood because their weak cultivation couldn’t withstand the aura released by the elder from the Great Thunder Sect.

Seeing all the cultivators groaning in pain from his aura made the elder from the Great Thunder Sect smile arrogantly. However, he was surprised to see one young cultivator who caught his attention because of her very young age and Golden Core level, managing to withstand his aura without kneeling at all.

The elder from the Great Thunder Sect felt fortunate to have noticed the young cultivator in tattered robes. The fact that the child wasn’t wearing clothing resembling any known sect made him want to recruit the child as his disciple.

As he was about to fly toward the child, his movement was halted by the sound of someone angrily confronting him.

“Huh! As expected of the Great Thunder Sect, their elder even dares to oppress cultivators below their level.”

Hearing this, the elder from the Great Thunder Sect became enraged and wanted to see who dared to scold him. Seeing a middle-aged man with comparable cultivation level protecting some cultivators wearing sect uniforms from his aura made him realize who was daring to oppose him.

“Heh! I didn’t expect the voice daring to challenge me would come from a mere fly.”

“You! Just because your sect is now stronger than ours doesn’t mean you can act so arrogantly!”

“Oh? Do you want to try fighting me here?”

With a challenging tone and the threatening aura from the elder of the Great Thunder Sect, the elder from the Immortal Sword Sect also became enraged and released a threatening aura that matched his own.

“I’ve been patient enough with the arrogance of your sect. Seeing you truly challenge me has exhausted my patience. You’ve made the mistake of trying to go against our sect, which excels in sword techniques.”

“Do you think I’m afraid of your sect’s famous sword techniques? You should be the one afraid of the lightning techniques exclusive to our sect.”

The two elders from both sects, equally strong, faced off, ready to fight to determine who was the strongest. However, just as they were about to engage in combat, their movements stopped when they heard a flirtatious and threatening voice from a female cultivator who halted their fight.

“Have you had enough of your childish behavior? It’s truly disrespectful of you to ignore me, the host of this alternate realm.”

The two elders saw a beautiful adult woman who concealed her mouth with a folding fan, revealing only her seductive eyes. She turned out to be the elder from the White Lotus Sect.

Upon realizing that the woman was the elder from the White Lotus Sect, the elder from the Immortal Sword Sect withdrew his threatening aura and bowed, apologizing for the mistake. Unlike him, the elder from the Great Thunder Sect continued to emit a threatening aura and smiled arrogantly at the elder from the White Lotus Sect.

“We have been generous enough to share this alternate realm with everyone. Elder from the Great Thunder Sect, you should show us some respect if you want your disciple to enter this marked realm.”

“Huh! How dare you threaten me! Just because you are a woman doesn’t mean I don’t dare to hit you!”

“I’m not threatening you. At least respect us for opening this realm to everyone. Unlike you, who came here hurting all cultivators weaker than yourself. Do you still want to further tarnish your sect’s reputation? Look around you; everyone is upset because you’ve threatened them with your aura.”

“Hmph!”

After the elder from the White Lotus Sect said this, the elder from the Great Thunder Sect only snorted in anger, then fell silent while retracting his threatening aura. Seeing this, the elder from the White Lotus Sect sighed in relief at having resolved the problem caused by the troublesome sect.

All the cultivators there were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, having been freed from the painful threatening aura. Once all the cultivators had stood up and healed themselves, the elder from the White Lotus Sect flew into the sky and floated, gazing at all the cultivators to begin the opening of the alternate realm.
