Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

```

The Great Sect Competition on Divinity Continent gathered all the top forces.

However, it's usually the Hidden Sects, Holy Lands, and First-Rate Sects that participate.

This time, even the Second-Rank and Third-Rank Sects were invited.

Therefore, the number of participating sects was the highest in the history of the Great Sect Competition.

Among them, Haoran Academy from Jingzhou, a Second-Rank Sect, was naturally in the list of invitees.

And Chi Jia was Chu Yuan's disciple, something that Haoran Academy's principal, Zhou Lin, knew.

So Zhou Lin naturally brought Chi Jia with him, saying it was for the sake of broadening his horizons.

Of course, it wasn't solely because of Chu Yuan's relationship; Chi Jia's combat strength was also extremely strong.

When in his activated state.

His strength was formidable, and among all the disciples of Haoran Academy, he stood out as one of the best.

At this moment.

On the edge of the clearing, atop a giant boulder.

Chi Jia was standing.

He wore a black robe, draped in a battle cloak, his pupils a golden hue as he indifferently surveyed the surroundings.

Periodically, strong energies flew over his head.

Those were the powerful in flight.

"Nascent Soul Realm powerhouses?"

Chi Jia slightly lifted his head and glanced at the Firmament.

He could see through the realm of the powerhouse who had just flown past at a glance.

It was the Nascent Soul Realm.

The Nascent Soul Realm, not high, not low.

Considered an Elder-level in a local Second-Rank Sect.

However, Chi Jia did not take it to heart.

He had the teachings of his Respected Master, with the power of transformation, strong enough to contend with the Nascent Soul Realm.

On the surface, his posture only displayed the capacity to battle with typical Golden Core Realm fighters.

But he found that he could switch forms, to be precise, he had three forms.

One of them was the Buddha-Demon Fusion form, which balanced his power, speed, and so on evenly.

This was the form he had shown to Principal Zhou Lin and many of his fellow disciples at Haoran Academy.

In fact, he had two other forms that he had never revealed to the world.

One of them was the Demonic Form.

This he derived through comprehension based on his own form.

He found that by suppressing the Buddhist nature in his heart, his strength would greatly increase, and at the Golden Core Realm level, his power could match, even suppress, the Nascent Soul Realm.

But because of the loss of Buddhist nature, his defensive strength would also greatly decrease when he transformed into the Demonic Form.

Similarly, he also had the Buddhist Form.

After transforming into the Buddhist Form, his power would diminish, but his defensive strength would dramatically increase, such that typically, those of the Nascent Soul Realm could barely affect him.

Chi Jia, with these three forms, was confident that he could battle across levels with the strength of the Golden Core Realm, against opponents in the Nascent Soul Realm, even up to the Divinity Transformation Realm.

"I wonder where my Respected Master has gone."

Chi Jia looked up at the Firmament again, a wistful expression in his eyes.

He missed that mysterious Respected Master of his very much.

That mysterious Respected Master had taught him a lot at the outset of his transformation.

He had also repeatedly tried to stand up for him.

All of this he remembered.

He just didn't know where his Respected Master was at the moment.

It had been so long, and he hadn't returned.

"Chi Jia."

A voice came from the distance.

Chi Jia turned his head slightly to look.

He saw a woman in green approaching.

It was Jiang Yue, with whom Chi Jia had the closest relationship.

"Jiang Yue."

Chi Jia looked up and greeted her.

"Wooden block Chi Jia, the Elder has called for you to prepare. You'll probably be taking the stage later. Your opponent is an Elite Disciple from Qingyun Holy Land, with the strength of the Nascent Soul Realm. The Elder said, if you can't beat him, just surrender," Jiang Yue said, waving her hand.

"We haven't even fought yet; how does the Elder know I can't win?"

Chi Jia shook his head, smiling as he spoke.

```

"Pfft..."

Jiang Yue couldn't help but laugh at the slight confidence in Chi Jia's demeanor.

She gave Chi Jia a white look.

"Your strength is only at the Golden Core Realm, so it's normal that you can't beat someone in the Nascent Soul Realm. What's there to boast about? With that confidence of yours, why don't you go compete for the first place in the All Sects Grand Tournament?"

Jiang Yue continued.

"First place? If you give me some time, what's stopping me from taking it?"

Chi Jia shook his head again.

"Get real, do you know that the winner of the All Sects Grand Tournament has already been decided? Do you know who it is?"

"Who is it?"

"It's a disciple from the Wayless Sect, that mythical sect rumored to be home to immortals!"

Wayless Sect!

Upon hearing these three words,

Chi Jia's expression slightly trembled.

He, of course, was also aware of the Wayless Sect's existence.

A mysterious sect full of legends.

Where immortals resided!

Where the wealthiest resources of the world were held!

To join the Wayless Sect was to have a chance at becoming immortal!

Disciples who emerged from the Wayless Sect were all figures of great renown, each a master of their own holy land.

These legends all stemmed from the Wayless Sect.

There were even rumors that the Sect Master of the Wayless Sect was an entity who sat on par with heaven and earth.

'Already invincible among men, if not to battle heaven, whom else to battle?'

Every time he read that line,

Chi Jia could feel the unmatched elegance of the Sect Master of the Wayless Sect.

He was just like everyone else,

yearning for the Wayless Sect.

But he was more casual about it.

To be precise, he had a Buddha-like mindset.

The conversation between Chi Jia and Jiang Yue ended at this point.

Chi Jia also noted down the date and location of the battle he was going to face.

...

After several days had passed, the day of Chi Jia's battle arrived.

The location where Chi Jia would fight his opponent was in a remote, outlying area, with few onlookers.

In the eyes of others, there was no suspense in this fight; a Nascent Soul Realm combatant against a Golden Core Realm one was not a spectacle worth watching.

The only people who came to watch were disciples from Haoran Academy.

However, these disciples too felt there was no suspense...

But once the battle began,

the onlookers were dumbfounded.

Chi Jia transformed into his Demonic Form and within just three moves, he had defeated his opponent.

This took those disciples by surprise.

After the incident spread, it also caused quite a stir within Haoran Academy.

Chi Jia could fight across a higher realm!

This was no simple matter.

To be able to fight above one's realm through sheer strength!

This was seen as one of the conditions for becoming a chosen prodigy.

Chi Jia had the potential to become a chosen prodigy.

However, this was only circulated within Haoran Academy.

Outside, Chi Jia's feat didn't attract any attention.

Too many chosen prodigies had come to participate in the All Sects Grand Tournament.

Countless.

Whether a chosen prodigy or not, coming from a Second-Rank Sect meant that no one would take notice.

Most of the focus was still on the three disciples from the Wayless Sect.

The three disciples from the Wayless Sect, as expected, easily defeated their respective opponents.

For these three disciples, beating their opponents was a piece of cake.

The two sides weren't even on the same level...
