Li Xiaoyao walked to the front of the coffin, his gaze shifting to its interior.

Inside the coffin, there was nothing but emptiness—void of any person.

Seeing this, Li Xiaoyao couldn't help being stunned.

No one?

"How can there be no one?" Li Xiaoyao couldn't help but ask.

A trace of sorrow flashed through Yi Yi's eyes as she said, "With a cultivation level like that of our master's, he had long since achieved an undying body. Even more powerful immortals wouldn't be able to kill our master. As long as our master retained a trace of consciousness, a wisp of his soul, he would be immortal."

"In order to kill our master, they severed his limbs and sealed them on different continents." At this point, Yi Yi suddenly felt a surge of anger, her delicate body trembling slightly, and finally, she took out a piece of a finger bone from the coffin and said, "I retrieved this piece of master's severed finger from the ruins of that great battle, and I have set up a spiritual offering for master."

Holding the finger bone in the palm of her hand, and standing on the steps, Yi Yi looked at Li Xiaoyao with a stern face and said, "Although our master did not leave behind a whole corpse, facing this severed finger is akin to facing our master. You must be sincere to be accepted as a disciple."

Li Xiaoyao's smile faded, and his expression turned serious.

This predecessor must have possessed heaven-shattering abilities; otherwise, his enemies would never have resorted to such means to kill him.

Even if he couldn't learn more skills, Li Xiaoyao was willing to become a disciple under such a powerful figure.

"Thud!"

Li Xiaoyao knelt on both knees and heavily kowtowed three times. Looking at the finger bone in Yi Yi's hands, he said, "Once a master, always a master. Today, I, Li Xiaoyao, acknowledge the Emperor of Humanity as my master, and for life, I shall be the disciple of the Emperor of Humanity!"

Yi Yi, seeing the resolute face of Li Xiaoyao, showed a trace of satisfaction and a smile as she said, "Stand up."

Carefully placing the finger bone back into the coffin, Yi Yi came down and said, "Now that you are a disciple of our sect, the ninth disciple of our master, from today onwards, I shall take the place of our master and teach you cultivation."

"You will teach me cultivation?" Li Xiaoyao was somewhat surprised. He had been prepared for the possibility of learning nothing, but Yi Yi had given him a wonderful surprise.

"Call me elder sister." Yi Yi's delicate face became earnest as she seemed to attach great importance to her status within the sect.

Looking at Yi Yi's delicate face and petite figure, Li Xiaoyao really couldn't associate her with a powerful being.

But having taken her as his teacher, Li Xiaoyao naturally had to accept this fact.

"Elder sister," Li Xiaoyao called out.

"Hmm," Yi Yi said, "Our master's cultivation level was unparalleled, and he challenged countless strong beings in all eight deserts and six alignments without defeat. He only narrowly lost to Celestial Venerable Yuanshi in one move. However, in that battle, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi's tactics were not admirable. Humph, his victory was not honorable."

"Celestial Venerable Yuanshi!"

Li Xiaoyao's eyes widened in astonishment, looking at Yi Yi in disbelief.

"There's a problem?" Yi Yi found the overall impression of her little junior brother quite pleasing, although she thought the little disciple... knew too little.

"The Celestial Venerable Yuanshi Elder Sister mentioned, could it be the Yuqing Yuanshi Celestial Venerable, one of the Three Pure Ones?"

"Is there a second Celestial Venerable Yuanshi?" Yi Yi countered.

Li Xiaoyao swallowed hard and said, "Our master was that formidable? He actually fought Celestial Venerable Yuanshi?"

Yi Yi snorted lightly and said, "Our master's strength is beyond your imagination. In the future, once your cultivation level becomes significant and you enter the Immortal Realm, just casually inquire about our master and you'll know how awesome he was!"

Li Xiaoyao chuckled awkwardly and said nothing.

What kind of joke is this, the Emperor of Humanity was killed, which shows he definitely offended some terrifying entity. If people knew he was the closed-door disciple of the Emperor of Humanity, it would only take minutes before his enemies would come knocking to annihilate him.

If that weren't the case, why would Sister Yi Yi hide herself in the deep sea's secret realm and not go out?

"Little junior brother, remember, if one day your cultivation is strong enough, you must avenge our master." Yi Yi seemed not to have noticed his thoughts and said softly.

"Definitely." If he really had that strength, he would certainly seek revenge. But Li Xiaoyao had absolutely no hope for himself.

Immortal and indestructible, able to turn the clouds with a flip of the hand and the rain with a cover of the hand, he didn't know how many years of cultivation it would take to reach such a legendary realm.

"Apart from avenging our master, if you ever encounter Bai Qinghe and Xiao Huang, you must kill them!"

Li Xiaoyao asked, "Who are they?"

"Master's third and eighth disciples." A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from Yi Yi, and as Li Xiaoyao came into contact with this aura, he was shocked into retreating again and again. This was the first time he had felt the full extent of his senior sister's strength.

"Third senior brother and eighth senior brother?" Li Xiaoyao wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked in confusion, "Why should disciples of the same sect harm each other?"

"Shut up!" Yi Yi's beautiful eyes glared angrily as she said, "They don't deserve to be master's disciples, and they have nothing to do with us!"

"If it wasn't for their secret report, how could master have fallen into a trap? If not for them, how could our master have not even his bones left?" Under the rage of Yi Yi, an earth-shattering aura emanated, shaking Li Xiaoyao to his core.

He had the illusion that even if he was at his peak strength, if his senior sister wanted to kill him, it would probably be as easy as flicking a finger.

"In that great battle of the year, if it hadn't been for those two traitors, how could our master have ended up like this?" Yi Yi appeared very agitated, and after speaking, she shook her head and said, "Come here, I will pass on the sect's cultivation techniques to you."

"Oh." Li Xiaoyao immediately went over. Since he was much taller than Yi Yi, standing in front of her now, he had to bow his head to look at her, which felt very awkward.

"Sit down cross-legged."

Li Xiaoyao immediately sat down.

With her clear, bright eyes gazing at him, Yi Yi said, "All the cultivation techniques I am passing on to you must not be disclosed, or no matter where you flee to, even to the ends of the earth, I will bring you back and deal with you according to our sect's rules. Do you understand?"

Li Xiaoyao nodded and said, "Rest assured, senior sister, I will never reveal them!"

"Hmm." Yi Yi nodded, then said, "Close your eyes, Spirit Condensation."

Li Xiaoyao did as she instructed. Yi Yi extended a finger and lightly tapped his forehead, and a torrent of information suddenly filled Li Xiaoyao's sea of consciousness. The sensation of swelling pain made him involuntarily furrow his brow.

"Alright, you can open your eyes now."

Li Xiaoyao opened his eyes, and as he attempted to stand, he felt the world spinning and plopped back down onto the ground.

Yi Yi said, "What I have passed on to you includes master's cultivation methods, as well as some martial arts and spells suitable for your level of cultivation."

"Besides that, I will pass on another of master's unique ultimate techniques."

"A unique ultimate technique!" Li Xiaoyao was somewhat expectant.

An ultimate technique regarded as such by a formidable being like the Emperor of Humanity would surely not be ordinary.

Yi Yi's palm flipped over, and she took out a scroll of a secret manual, flicking it lightly with her delicate fingers, causing it to hover in front of Li Xiaoyao.

"Drip your blood on it, and the method of cultivating the spell will naturally appear in your mind."

Li Xiaoyao licked his somewhat dry lips and carefully unrolled the animal skin scroll.
