My Master Knows It All

Chapter 1424: Chapter 338_5

“Oh? Is that so? What a pity you said it too late. Moreover, everyone calls me Immortal Bi Yue, but you claim to hate the title of ‘Immortal’ the most. Should I interpret this as you hating me the most?”

Bi Yue let out a cold snort, and a ribbon adorned with tiny bells flew out of her hand, spiraling toward the female demon before her.

The bells on the ribbon collided with one another, producing a series of crisp, jingling chimes. Though the sound wasn’t loud, when it reached the ears of the female demon, it felt like a deafening thunderclap erupted in her heart, causing her entire body to involuntarily tremble.

The ribbon descended like a Divine Dragon emerging from the heavens, firmly wrapping around her and suddenly tightening with immense force.

The female demon felt the suffocating constriction around her neck and struggled desperately to break free, but the ribbon only wound tighter and tighter.

Though she possessed the cultivation base of Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, she was merely an ordinary cultivator at that level. Against Bi Yue, who had reached the Golden Core Period Limit, she stood no chance whatsoever.

Within moments, her breath had completely ceased.

Immortal Bi Yue retracted the ribbon without so much as another glance at the female cultivator’s lifeless body. She turned away directly, flying toward the little boy in the distance.

Although his earlier comments had left her slightly displeased, she found the little boy before her quite interesting. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have bothered to intervene and dispatch the female demon.

Nearby, passing cultivators noticed the abrupt confrontation. Witnessing the female demon’s swift death, they couldn’t help but sigh in awe.

“Immortal Bi Yue!”

“A Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection cultivator, obliterated in an instant. Such is the disparity between the Golden Core Period Limit and ordinary Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection.”

“That’s the Golden Core Period Limit! The most formidable state of cultivation in this entire Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth. Never mind ordinary Ten Different Phenomena cultivators— even those at the Wilderness Level of Ten Different Phenomena wouldn’t stand a chance against one at the Golden Core Period Limit!”

“And yet, Ten Different Phenomena cultivators are not invincible. Haven’t you heard? Recently, Xue Yin Demon of the Weeping Blood Demon Sect, who was also at the Golden Core Period Limit, was killed by Cao Zhen, Sect Leader Cao of the Hundred Peaks Sect!”

“Sect Leader Cao, too, is a Golden Core Period Limit powerhouse, except he’s cultivated his physical body to the pinnacle of the Golden Core Period Limit!”

“This female demon… she’s Liu Burui from the Swallowing Sect, isn’t she? What terrible luck— merely trying to kill a mortal, only to run into both Cao Zhen and Immortal Bi Yue.”

The little boy listened to the sighs and murmurs all around him. Staring at the three figures before him, he immediately fell to his knees, kowtowing fervently as he exclaimed, “Thank you, Immortal, and thank you, Immortal Sir, for saving my life! A million thanks to you both! For this life-saving grace, I would gladly become your servant, even as a beast of burden to serve at your side.”

Just moments ago, he had been utterly terrified— on the very brink of death, saved only by the timely arrival of these three individuals. His heart still trembled at the thought, but deep within, a surge of elation took hold.

He had always known his judgment to be sharp. Encountering these three people earlier had filled him with a gut feeling that they were extraordinary— far beyond the ordinary. Now, his instincts were validated.

When the other cultivators first saw these three, they had reacted with either fear or immense reverence. And then there was the female demon— a Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection cultivator.

The boy had ambitions of joining a Great Teaching to pursue Immortal Cultivation. Naturally, he understood what Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection represented— and even more so the Golden Core Period Limit. In this Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, it was the pinnacle of power.

The exclamations of the surrounding crowd had reached his ears as well. The impossibly beautiful female immortal standing before him was a Golden Core Period Limit expert.

And the male immortal? People had even said he could kill someone at the Golden Core Period Limit.

The initial terror that gripped his heart had now given way to sheer excitement. He realized he had stumbled upon the greatest stroke of good fortune— meeting the most powerful figures in the entire Eastern Province!

Not only that, but these three had saved him. Clearly, they must have taken a liking to him.

So why not try to join their Great Teaching directly?

Only by joining a Great Teaching, becoming a cultivator, and gaining cultivation of his own could he truly ensure his survival.

Otherwise, as a mere mortal, powerless and defenseless, what chance would he have if one day he crossed paths with a cultivator in a bad mood, who decided to kill him for sport? Who would he turn to for justice?

His sole reason for pursuing Immortal Cultivation was survival.

Cao Zhen listened to the boy’s words, momentarily startled. As he studied the boy, an amused and curious expression flickered across his face. This kid— was he thanking them for saving his life, or was he trying to join their sect and Great Teaching?

This little rascal had quite the knack for seizing opportunities, climbing with barely a pole to hold onto!

And, this name— Wanren Di (万人敌, literally “Enemy of Ten Thousand”)?

Such ambition!

Immortal Bi Yue didn’t seem to catch onto the undertone in Wanren Di’s words. She crouched slightly to meet his gaze and asked, “Why do I always hear you calling every female cultivator you meet the most beautiful immortal? Tell me— who do you think is truly the most beautiful immortal?”

“Elder Sister, you are the most beautiful immortal. Truly, you’re the most breathtaking immortal I’ve ever seen,” Wanren Di replied with utmost sincerity. He wasn’t lying; he had lived in this city for many years and had never encountered anyone as stunning as her— among mortals or immortals alike.
