Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Haoran Academy, above the Firmament at the entrance of the Scripture Pavilion. Chu Yuan floated among the clouds, watching a disciple gradually move away below. A smile filled his face. His guess had been correct. His soul body could indeed enter the storage ring. His 'Grandfather' plan could also proceed perfectly. However, he did not know where to find a disciple. Could it be that he must wait for the Demonic Qi Seed within the storage bag to transform and then play the role of 'Grandfather'? Wouldn't that take a rather long time? As long as that might take, it surely was better than rashly finding someone and genuinely turning them into a talented individual, right? After giving it some thought, Chu Yuan quickly made up his mind. A longer time it shall be, then. Anyway, there wasn't much for him to do over at the Wayless Sect. Within the Sect, only a fatty, two dragons, and a little baby remained. It was simply impossible that they could spoil the disciples he had left in the Sect. As for Zisu and that insect egg, they were almost certainly doomed to failure. With nothing pressing at the Wayless Sect, he could afford to spend some time playing the role of a grandfather. Chu Yuan nodded to himself slightly. The only question was how to make the Demonic Qi Seed take form. Was it just a matter of waiting? Chu Yuan pondered this question. In the distance, a breath rushed toward him. Chu Yuan looked down slightly and immediately saw that it was Zhou Lin, the headmaster of Haoran Academy. He wasn't surprised. He hadn't been controlling his Invincible State, so his figure was quite easy to find. For others, that is. He appeared much like a miniature sun, surrounded by a Golden Halo; with just a bit of effort, anyone could find him. Chu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching Zhou Lin approach. "Daoist Chu seems quite at leisure, what brings you here, admiring the view?" Zhou Lin arrived with a smile and said. "Indeed, the scenery of Haoran Academy is quite beautiful." Chu Yuan nodded, making polite conversation. In truth, he wasn't gazing at the scenery at all. "Daoist Chu, I won't beat around the bush, I've come here to invite you to join Haoran Academy and to become a Guest Elder. As a Guest Elder, you wouldn't have any responsibilities. You could enjoy the resources of Haoran Academy at your leisure; only in times of major conflict would we request your assistance," Zhou Lin said straightforwardly. He feared that Chu Yuan might refuse, so he quickly reiterated the freedoms of becoming a Guest Elder. "To become... a Guest Elder?" Chu Yuan was taken aback. "Indeed, I wish to invite Daoist Chu to become a Guest Elder at Haoran Academy!" Zhou Lin said very seriously. "This, Headmaster Zhou, it's not that I refuse, but I have pressing matters at hand and have no time to stay here as a Guest Elder," Chu Yuan said, frowning. He still needed to assist the Demonic Qi Seed in taking form. Upon hearing this, Zhou Lin became somewhat helpless. He indeed needed this Daoist Chu to join them as a Guest Elder. Soon, they were planning a major battle against the legendary Wayless Sect. With him being the only Tribulation Transcending Stage presence in Haoran Academy, they seemed rather underwhelming. If he could persuade Daoist Chu here, it would be perfect. It wasn't just about a major increase in battle strength. This was also their chance to elevate Haoran Academy to a First-Rate Sect. By succeeding in their recruitment, it would serve two purposes with one action. "May I ask what the matter is? If possible, the entirety of Haoran Academy could assist Daoist Chu!" Zhou Lin said, teeth clenched. "I have a gaseous entity that needs to be transformed into form; can you handle this, Daoist Zhou?" Chu Yuan asked, glancing at Zhou Lin. "To transform a gaseous entity into form? Is that all?" Zhou Lin was slightly astonished. He had thought it would be something more significant. Is that all? Transforming an object into another form, while difficult for the average person, is quite simple for someone at the Tribulation Transcending Stage. All it takes is infusing it with mana and supporting the effort with various elixirs to evoke a spirit's intelligence before letting it transform. He remembered that Daoist Chu was also at the Tribulation Transcending Stage, wasn't he? Why would he concern himself with such matters? Zhou Lin felt puzzled, but quickly spoke up, intending to keep Chu Yuan as a Guest Elder. "Daoist friend, if it's just for this matter, then there's no need to leave. Please stay at Haoran Academy as a Guest Elder with peace of mind," Zhou Lin said repeatedly. "Are you sure you can do it?" After pondering for a moment, Chu Yuan took out the Demonic Qi Seed. As soon as the Demonic Qi Seed emerged, it tried to escape and flee. Chu Yuan's reaction was swift; he immediately activated the Invincible State and suppressed the Demonic Qi Seed. "Daoist friend, this is... is this Demonic Qi? Or is it the original Demonic Qi? Do you want to transform a strand of Demonic Qi into form?" Zhou Lin's eyes widened, failing to understand what Chu Yuan really intended to do. Good and evil do not coexist. The Demon Way is itself a form of the heretical paths. It is said that long ago, the Demon Way had also been prevalent on the Divinity Continent. But that was merely a fleeting moment. The orthodox path was still the Righteous Way. That is the traditional path of cultivation. Zhou Lin was now looking at the Demonic Qi in Chu Yuan's hand. He had no idea what Chu Yuan wanted to do. "Yes, I want to transform this Demonic Qi into form. What's wrong, Daoist Zhou, you can't help?" Chu Yuan slightly frowned and said. "I can help, definitely can help, just as long as I do, will you, Daoist Chu, then agree to become a Guest Elder of Haoran Academy?" Zhou Lin said hastily. He still chose to have Chu Yuan as a Guest Elder. "Sure, no problem." Upon hearing this, Chu Yuan immediately nodded. As long as he could make the Demonic Qi Seed in his hand take form, serving as a Guest Elder was absolutely no issue. "Then that's good, that's very good. Daoist Chu, hand over the Demonic Qi in your possession to me," Zhou Lin took a deep breath and said. Upon hearing these words, Chu Yuan was about to hand over the Demonic Qi Seed to Zhou Lin. But then he thought, considering how slippery the Demonic Qi Seed was, it might just escape if he just handed it over carelessly. With this thought, Chu Yuan decided to put the Demonic Qi Seed into the storage bag first, then he took out the Divination Tube. Only then did he hand the storage bag to Zhou Lin. "Daoist Zhou, please keep this safe. This thing can easily escape, so you must watch it carefully," Chu Yuan said, staring intently at the storage bag in his hand. This was the only storage bag he had on him, and it contained quite a few items. If he lost this storage bag, he wouldn't have a second one on him. "Hmm," Zhou Lin nodded, ready to receive the storage bag. But as he grasped it, he couldn't pull it away no matter how hard he tried; it was as if the storage bag was stuck to some incredibly adhesive substance. "Daoist Chu?" Zhou Lin had just asked when he found that the storage bag had loosened and he was easily holding it in his hand. "No trouble, no trouble," Chu Yuan shook his head, not wanting to say anything more. "Now that you are a Guest Elder at Haoran Academy, Daoist Chu," "Since it's been said, then naturally, it is so," "That's good. Rest assured, Daoist Chu. Usually, there shouldn't be any issues, but if there is a great battle, we might need your assistance," "That's possible..." "Then I shall take my leave first to help you transform this Demonic Qi into form," After leaving these words, Zhou Lin turned and left. Chu Yuan stood alone in the Firmament, not taking Zhou Lin's words to heart at all. No matter the battle's scale, if there were to be a great war, he just had to release a Golden Halo, obliterate the opposing side's top leader, and that would be the end of it…
