Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

That night.

Wayless Sect, Grand Hall Square.

Su Qianyuan sat cross-legged on the square, looking up at the overcast sky where the moon was hidden.

In his eyes, there was nothing but helplessness, only helplessness.

Enlighten, enlighten, enlighten.

What a bunch of nonsense.

He had been sitting here for half the day.

He had come to the realization that today's weather was quite nice, which would have been perfect for a barbecue if only the moon had been out.

"Had I known, I wouldn't have pretended to be tough. I should have just humbly gone to the Divine Weapon Pavilion, gained the recognition of a divine weapon, and then asked the Respected Master for a technique to study…"

"Sigh, pride does come before a fall."

"Could it be that the Respected Master is pulling my leg? Grasping the lofty Tongtian technique through mere words, how could that be possible…"

"Being human is so hard!"

Su Qianyuan muttered to himself as he sat there.

How was he going to get through this long night?

Should he return now? He remembered the Respected Master had said something about preparing a palace for him.

But if he returned now, would the Respected Master think that his resolve was weak and refuse to pass on the true secret techniques of the Wayless Sect to him?

While Su Qianyuan was caught in his complex thoughts.

A figure slowly made his way to the Grand Hall Square.

It was Zhang Han.

He was dressed in a Confucian robe, his features were delicate, his thick, jet-black hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin, and his sleeves wafted in the breeze, imbued with a mysterious aura.

Su Qianyuan was momentarily stunned when he saw who it was but quickly recovered.

Ye Luo had told him about the people within the Sect.

All of the Wayless Sect's elders had ascended.

Only a few people remained in the Sect, apart from the Respected Master, Ye Luo, and himself, only one person was left.

The Second Senior Brother, Zhang Han!

The brother who was adept at formations!

"Su Qianyuan greets Second Senior Brother!!"

Su Qianyuan did not dare to be discourteous and promptly stood up to give a respectful bow to the newcomer.

Zhang Han turned his head to glance at Su Qianyuan.

On seeing this unfamiliar face, he probably guessed that this was the new junior disciple.

But he was slightly surprised in his heart.

Why…

Did this junior disciple look so 'mature'?

Cough cough, even though he and the eldest senior brother were both young men.

Find adventures on empire

This junior disciple seemed to be over fifty already.

Why did the Respected Master take in someone so old… cough cough, someone so 'mature' into the Sect?

Though he thought this, Zhang Han wouldn't be foolish enough to say it aloud.

"Junior brother, you are formal," he said.

"What are you doing here wandering around the square so late at night? Could it be that you are here seeking enlightenment?"

Zhang Han said with a warm smile.

Upon hearing this.

Su Qianyuan's expression stiffened.

Enlightenment, he couldn't even enlighten a banana.

But he couldn't possibly admit that.

Otherwise, it would show how low his aptitude was.

"Yes, that's right, Second Senior Brother, the eldest senior brother told me to seek enlightenment here," he said, gritting his teeth.

"Then you should continue seeking enlightenment. I, your second senior brother, am in a hurry to go outside the Sect to test a formation," said Zhang Han with a chuckle.

He stepped forward and patted the mature junior brother on the shoulder before turning to leave.

"Wait! Wait! Second Senior Brother, can I come and watch, too? I've seen eldest senior brother's swordplay, and I've always heard of Second Senior Brother's superb formation skills but never had the chance to see them. I wonder if Second Senior Brother would let me come with you to watch from a distance as you set up the formation?"

Su Qianyuan shamelessly moved up to ask.

Now it was Zhang Han who was taken aback.

To follow him and watch him set up a formation?

Perhaps allowing this new junior brother to see his formation skills might be a good thing?

Oh, well, let the junior brother have a look then.

"If it won't hinder your enlightenment, junior brother, then come with your senior brother," he said in a soft voice.

"We will go outside the Sect to test it, so as not to disturb the Respected Master."

Zhang Han spoke softly and walked toward the Sect gate.

Su Qianyuan, upon seeing this, hurriedly followed Zhang Han.

...

One in front and one behind.

They left through the gate of the mountain.

And made their way to an open space halfway up Misty Mountain.

"Junior Brother, you just stand aside. The formation I'm going to set up doesn't have great lethal power, so you don't have to worry about it causing you any harm,"

Zhang Han said softly.

Su Qianyuan responded and obediently retreated to one side, watching curiously.

He wanted to see just how skilled this Second Senior Brother was.

After all, he had witnessed Ye Luo's abilities firsthand.

He could say nothing but "peerless genius."

But the abilities of this Second Senior Brother remained unknown.

Setting up a formation...

Well, it probably would take quite a long time, and there might be materials and stuff to prepare.

He guessed he could take a nap and it would be just about done when he woke up.

This was what Su Qianyuan thought.

On the other side, Zhang Han looked up at the sky and then toward the direction of the mountain.

He inconspicuously communicated with heaven and earth to set up an isolating formation.

Just to avoid disturbing the Respected Master during the process of setting up his formation.

As a disciple, how could he disturb the Respected Master's rest because of his formation work?

He thought for a moment.

Zhang Han set up a few more isolating formations.

The sound was isolated.

The fluctuations of spiritual power were isolated.

Oh, to prevent the Respected Master from being disturbed by sensing irregularities in the flow of spiritual energy.

He also set up a small Spirit Gathering Array to replenish the spiritual energy that would be lost later on.

Nothing could go wrong now!

Zhang Han revealed a slight smile, truly the Respected Master's thoughtful little cotton-padded jacket.

"Third Junior Brother, watch closely. Your Second Senior Brother is going to show you how a formation should be set up,"

Zhang Han glanced at Su Qianyuan not far away, raised his hands, and closed his eyes.

In his mind, he conjured up the image of Taiyin Star.

As he conjured up Taiyin Star in his mind,

The Taiyin Star, which had been veiled by dark clouds in the sky, suddenly burst forth with dazzling brilliance, showering beams of light down upon Zhang Han.

Ancient runes began to flicker around Zhang Han's heart.

"When Yang reaches its extreme, it becomes Yin, and when Yin reaches its extreme, it turns to Yang. Nine Cold Heavenly Fire Formation, arise!"

Zhang Han thought, and it happened.

Runes flew out from his heart one by one.

In just an instant, they enshrouded the entire open space.

A vast chill covered the area in the blink of an eye.

Su Qianyuan, standing on the side, immediately felt the bone-chilling cold.

Something's not right...

This formation was set up way too quickly!

And he did not see his Second Senior Brother taking out any materials for the formation...

Nor the beam of light that had shone down from the sky just now...

If he wasn't mistaken, that was the power of Taiyin Star.

Second Senior Brother's formation, done without materials, could it be he summoned the forces of heaven and earth into a formation with a single thought??

This is too mythical!!!

A formation created with a single thought, how could this be possible!!

Su Qianyuan couldn't believe it, yet he had seen the Second Senior Brother setting up the formation with his own eyes.

Truly not using any materials...

This reminded Su Qianyuan of the time when Ye Luo, during the sect competition at Qiandi Dao Sect, faced ten disciples.

One of the disciples was setting up a formation.

Ye Luo countered with a question, "Do you need to use your hands to set up a formation?"

Now, thinking back, it wasn't that Ye Luo was confused...

It's that the disciples of the Wayless Sect truly didn't need to use their hands to set up formations...

Summoning the power of heaven and earth with a single thought to create a formation...

This method.

Is too powerful!!

Su Qianyuan was thrilled and wanted to rush forward to ask Zhang Han how he did it.

As he stepped forward, the formation reacted...
