Master: This Villainous Disciple Is Not The Holy Child

[Hehe… Host’s Fate Value increased by +100]

“Oh?”

Standing on the deck with his hands behind his back, admiring the breathtaking snow scenery of Tai Su Peak, Chu Xiu raised an eyebrow and asked:

“System, why has this noble one’s fortune increased for no apparent reason?”

[Hehe… This humble system is but a mere tool, not omniscient.]

Chu Xiu’s long, demonic eyes narrowed slightly. His originally -18 black fortune had now changed to a normal fortune of 82!

After pondering for a moment, he concluded that it must be related to reaching the top of the Tai Su Divine Pagoda.

Soon after, the flying ship passed over a forest of ice crystals and arrived at the plaza platform atop Tai Su Peak, slowing its speed and beginning to descend gently.

“Young Chu Xiu, how do you find the scenery of Tai Su Peak?” Old Huang asked with a smile, stroking his beard.

Chu Xiu nodded. “The name ‘Tai Su’ is well-deserved. On this single peak, all four seasons are represented, teeming with life… It’s truly marvelous.”

“Indeed…” Old Huang smiled proudly.

Chu Xiu maintained a smile on the surface, but inwardly, his heart grew heavy.

After observing throughout the journey, he realized that Tai Su Peak was not as simple as it appeared.

If Chu Xiu’s judgment was correct, Tai Su Peak was actually an extremely powerful creature in slumber!

This… This was terrifying.

How tall was Tai Su Peak?

By his estimation, at least 50,000 zhang (150,000 meters). The height of the Tai Su Divine Pagoda was already astonishing, but compared to Tai Su Peak, it was insignificant.

To think that such a majestic and enormous Tai Su Peak was actually a sleeping creature…

This was the true foundation of a Holy Land!!

Chu Xiu couldn’t help but feel solemn. In the past, when he alone opposed so many Holy Lands and great sects…

Thinking about it now, he couldn’t help but feel annoyed. It turned out these Holy Lands and great families hadn’t taken him seriously at all. In the end, they hadn’t even revealed their true foundations, merely sending a few dozen Great Saints to encircle and kill him…

Damn it, just you wait.

If other Holy Lands and great sects knew of Chu Xiu’s thoughts, they would surely curse: “Do you think a sect’s foundation can be moved at will? We advise you not to cause trouble for no reason…”

Lost in these thoughts, Chu Xiu was led by the two elders through an ancient-style corridor.

Suddenly, the view opened up. Numerous pavilions and towers floated in the air, grand and vast.

Purple qi flowed from the east, and clouds swirled. Countless celestial cranes soared freely between the buildings, like a realm of immortals.

Most shocking of all, at the highest point of Tai Su Peak, a dazzling river of stars, thousands of miles long, poured out of the void, cascading down like a waterfall and disappearing into the deep abyss of Tai Su Peak’s cliff face.

“Holy…”

“That powerful creature of Tai Su Peak is constantly absorbing the power of the stars…”

Compared to its appetite, his own was less than an ant’s.

Tai Su Hall.

Chu Xiu followed the two Small Saint elders inside.

At a glance, he saw his master sitting on the Peak Master’s throne, wearing a white feather dress and a bronze fox mask, exuding the aura of a superior.

Their gazes met.

Chu Xiu smiled gently.

Fairy Meng Die shifted her bottom uncomfortably.

“Greetings, Yunxia Peak Master and Holy Master. We have brought Chu Xiu,” Mo Feiyan said with a slight bow.

Only when she spoke did Chu Xiu notice the soft-featured woman in a plain white dress with wavy blue hair sitting on the bronze imperial throne at the highest point of the great hall.

‘A Saint King is truly terrifying…’

Indeed, Chu Xiu was shocked once again.

When he entered the hall, he had subconsciously overlooked the dominant presence on the main seat.

It wasn’t arrogance; rather, her strength was so overwhelming, her existence so seamlessly merged with the world, that he had subconsciously overlooked her.

Just as people walking on a path don’t notice the grass beneath their feet.

“Mm, thank you for your hard work!” Tai Suzi’s red lips parted slightly, her voice like celestial music, carrying a strange power that soothed the mind.

Old Huang and Mo Feiyan bowed slightly, then took their leave, keeping their heads lowered throughout, their expressions filled with fanatical reverence.

Chu Xiu looked up at the dominant figure seated at the top of the great hall. She was stunningly beautiful, with a faint smile on her lips and a gentle demeanor. If one looked closely, her wavy blue hair seemed to contain tiny, life-filled planets growing and multiplying.

Chu Xiu was secretly amazed. Were Saint Kings truly this powerful? She already displayed the extraordinary signs of a quasi-emperor.

In fact, this was merely a natural manifestation of Tai Suzi’s cultivation of the Tai Su Imperial Scripture.

The Tai Su Imperial Scripture, also known as the Life Imperial Scripture, is the most life-affirming cultivation method in this world, explaining the vibrant, star-like energies swirling within Tai Suzi’s hair.

“Ahem…”

Seeing Chu Xiu staring intently at the Holy Master, Qi Meng Die coughed lightly and scolded, “Rebellious disciple, don’t be disrespectful to the Holy Master.” Her beautiful eyes glared at Chu Xiu, as if warning him. If you want to court death, can you at least unlock my seal first? I don’t want to be killed because of you, you rebellious disciple.

Chu Xiu came to his senses and bowed slightly, saying loudly, “Yunxia Peak’s Chu Xiu greets the Holy Master…”

Tai Suzi nodded slightly. She kept her eyes closed, yet with her mind’s eye, she could see all things in the world. She didn’t open her eyes because a direct gaze from a Saint King would instantly obliterate Chu Xiu.

Her red lips parted slightly as she said softly, “It brings me great joy to see a disciple who has broken through the ancient limit. You have done well, Chu Xiu.”

Qi Meng Die looked at her rebellious disciple standing straight in the center of the hall, her heart filled with complex emotions. As a Great Saint, she was privy to some of the Holy Land’s secrets. She knew that the most difficult hurdle to reach the 99th floor was the 98th floor—an insurmountable gap. Yet, her rebellious disciple had done it.

“Ahem, Holy Master, since I’ve broken our Holy Land’s record, might there be a reward?” Chu Xiu immediately seized the opportunity.

Seeing this, Qi Meng Die’s beautiful eyes narrowed, about to scold him again. It was only in situations like this that she dared to rebuke her rebellious disciple.

Tai Suzi smiled gently and nodded. “As it should be. What reward do you desire?”

Chu Xiu immediately said, “This disciple wishes for a Soul Infant Demon Fruit, or Myriad Medicine Spirit Milk, or a Bodhi Divine Flower. Any of these would do…”

Qi Meng Die was shocked. That rebellious disciple… his greed knows no bounds!

Tai Suzi’s long, willow-like eyebrows furrowed slightly as she pondered for a long while. “While the Holy Land’s treasury does have some heavenly treasures, we don’t have any of those three you mentioned.”

Chu Xiu couldn’t help but feel disappointed. It made sense; such treasures wouldn’t be stored for long.

Tai Suzi’s tone changed as she said softly, “However, I can order someone to seek one out for you. But… there’s no guarantee when, or if, they’ll find one. If you’re unwilling to wait, I can promise you other rewards.”

‘If I were to use the Weeping Sky Reincarnation Seal to control this Holy Master…’ Chu Xiu mused, a dangerous thought flickering in his mind.

[Holy crap!! Host, you’re a fucking genius! Hehe…]
