I’m Really Not A Supreme Master!

I couldn’t control it, and I became an immortal.

Nan Feng’s calm words left Long Zixuan, Lu Rang, Dugu Yuqing, and the others dumbfounded.

That’s even possible…

Becoming immortal just by eating…

Such a monster, an absolute monster indeed.

Hehe, I just knew it, sister had already reached this step, it was just a matter of whether she wanted to or not.”

Zi Ling smiled radiantly, her little canine teeth sparkling brightly.

It seems we need to step up our efforts!

Dugu Yuqing and Qing Chen both secretly made up their minds!

Li Fan took the ink treasure and rice paper from the study.

Yu Qing, if you want to learn calligraphy, you must start with the most basic things!”

Li Fan spoke, and Dugu Yuqing and the others stood aside, listening to his guidance.

Although Nan Feng and Zi Ling did not study calligraphy, there was much to learn from it, so they too were watching.

And in calligraphy, the very first stroke is this ‘one’ character!

Li Fan dipped his brush deeply in ink, lifted it, and brought it down onto the rice paper!

In an instant, everyone felt as if they were in a trance, as if they had seen the birth of the universe, a vast chaos!

The brush moved with a smooth-flowing motion, completing the stroke in one go!

Clearly, they saw amidst the primordial cosmos a peerless and astonishing sword light that seemed like a bolt from the heavens, like a surging river, cutting through all chaos!

Opening of the heavens!

Division of the earth!

When Li Fan’s brush finally stopped, and he gently lifted it, the onlookers vaguely saw the growth of myriad things, the evolution of myriad spirits, the whole world thriving and flourishing!

Heaven… This, this is the Heaven Opening Sword!

Even those who do not understand calligraphy can feel the peerless sword intent, as if it permeates from the long river of time…”

The might of opening the heavens and splitting the earth disperses even the chaos and primordial essence…”

All the disciples were utterly astounded.

And Dugu Yuqing fixated on the new

“one” character on the rice paper!

Black characters on white paper.

Yet, he saw the beginning of the Great Dao, the dispersion of primordial essence, the opening of heavens and the splitting of the earth.

This Sword, invincible!

Heaven Opening Sword, shatters the primordial essence… What kind of existence is my master…”

He muttered to himself.

Li Fan looked at the expressions of his disciples and also revealed a slight smile on his face.

When he first practiced calligraphy, it took him who knows how long to perfect just this

“one” character.

But if one could truly master the

“one” character, they would be able to enter the halls of proficiency.

You should practice on your own, if you are talented enough, maybe you’ll master it in one or two months.”

Li Fan spoke.

But Dugu Yuqing’s eyes were filled with bitterness.

One or two months?

He was afraid he wouldn’t even come close to the form in one or two months, because the

“one” character contained too much.

In his master’s eyes, perhaps only those with innate talents that were hard to find in the Myriad Realms could be considered

“talented enough.”

Nevertheless, he deeply nodded and said,

“Master, rest assured, your disciple will give his all!”

Li Fan nodded, then turned to look at Qing Chen.

Sweeping the floor is something most people can do, yet you could also say most people don’t know how to do it.”

Li Fan casually picked up a broom and swept with it!

Suddenly, everyone seemed to perceive the Great Dao flowing, the world transforming!

The vast expanse of the void almost trembled with this sweep.

Is the ground clean now? It looks clean, but that’s just it.

Li Fan pointed to the ground and said,

“The purpose of sweeping is to be spotless, to make even ‘Three Lives Soil’ bright as a mirror, which is also a very rare joy.”

At these words, Qing Chen’s Dao heart trembled immensely.

Indeed, it is a giant Buddha beyond imagination, a few brief words yet so full of Zen insight… Senior means, we must not use our eyes to sweep, but our hearts!”

Senior is asking me to sweep, not the floor, but my own heart… ‘Three Lives Soil’ as bright as a mirror, I suddenly understand what ‘the heart is the bright mirror stand’ means, Senior Li has truly awakened me with a word!”

Shaken, he now completely understood the intent behind Senior Li asking him to sweep the floor and earnestly nodded,

“Many thanks to my master!”

Your disciple will surely reach the ‘spotless’ Realm someday!

Li Fan handed the broom to him and said, “You can do it.

At this moment.

In the depths of the Cangli Mountain Range.

A thousand zhang beneath the Supreme Burial Ground.

The Demon Monarch returns, Demon Monarch, return! Return!

The bald man shouted loudly, kneeling on the ground, looking extremely agitated.

From the coffin, black qi continuously spilled out, dense to the extreme.

He clearly felt that a demonic aura had begun to emerge within the coffin!

All these years, I have searched the Immortal Domain, found countless treasures, and nurtured them with the iron coffin of the Demon Monarch, the Primeval Soul will surely be reborn!”

The Demon Monarch will once again reign over the land!

He shouted, reciting an ancient demon spell.

In an instant, the coffin filled with a surge of black Qi, as if something terrifying was breathing in and out!

Creak!

Immediately after, at the next moment, the iron coffin suddenly made a noise!

It was as though something was pushing on the iron coffin’s lid!

Demon Monarch, are you about to emerge? Haha, you’re finally about to reappear, and the Immortal Domain and Myriad Realms will once again tremble under your grip…”

The bald man’s eyes brimmed with hot tears; he had been waiting for this moment for a thousand years!

Along with the creaking sounds, the lid of the iron coffin shifted, revealing a crack.

A pale little hand suddenly stretched out from the dark iron coffin!

That small hand clutched at the lid and flung it outward!

Whoosh!

The lid immediately flew off, creating a roaring sound as it crashed heavily onto the floor of the secret chamber at the next moment!

With tears streaming down his face, the bald man lifted his gaze toward the coffin!

But, at the next moment, he was completely stunned.

Because a little girl with a pale complexion had crawled out from the coffin, sitting atop it!

She appeared to be only seven or eight years old.

She had a pair of big eyes, but her face was as pale as wax, and she was dressed in plain cloth clothes from an unknown origin.

"You… who are you…?”

The bald man was instantly shocked, filled with doubt!

What in the world was going on?!

The little girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said,

“You are Ming Tianbei.”

During the few hundred years of my slumber, I’ve heard your prayers quite a few times, which were really annoying—interrupting my sleep.”

Upon hearing this, the bald man, Ming Tianbei, immediately became excited.

This little girl before him… was the Demon Monarch’s Primeval Soul!

The Demon Monarch… had been reborn!

Although he had never imagined that the Demon Monarch would be female, as long as the Demon Monarch was reborn, nothing else mattered!

Today, the Demon Monarch’s Primeval Soul had only just reappeared, and he believed that, given time, the Demon Monarch would grow rapidly and once again make the heavens and myriad realms tremble!

He prostrated himself in deep reverence and said,

“Ming Tianbei pays his respects to the Nine Holy Demon Monarch!”

If Gong Ya Demon Marshal knew that you have finally been reborn, she would certainly be overjoyed!”

Gong Ya Demon Marshal” was one of the Nine Holy Demon Monarchs’ nine major Demon Marshals and was also Ming Tianbei’s master.

The little girl glanced at Ming Tianbei, then her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly as she said,

“I can feel the presence of my other Primeval Souls… unwanted guests are coming.”

Upon hearing this, Ming Tianbei’s expression drastically changed.

— Since the Demon Monarch had failed in the attempt to ascend to the Immortal King Realm thousands of years ago, the Nine Soul Paths had been scattered across the heavens!

The followers of the Demon Cult, led by the nine major Demon Marshals, had split into nine factions; each faction worshipped a part of the Demon Monarch’s Primeval Soul… and to have the Demon Monarch ascend to the pinnacle once more, the Nine Soul Paths needed to unite as one.

And the reborn Primeval Soul had its own consciousness and would chase after the other Primeval Souls to devour them!

Thus, the factions within the Demon Cult already considered the Primeval

Souls they followed as the orthodox ones, and they had long been fighting each other fiercely…

Could it be that even hidden in such a remote location in the Lower World, they had still been discovered by other branches of the Demon Cult?

While he was in a state of shock and confusion, a cold and icy voice had already risen:

The Primeval Soul has emerged, Demon Guard Can Ge, welcoming the union of the Demon Monarch’s Primeval Soul!”

Please, Primeval Soul, accompany me to complete the Demon Monarch’s true form!”

The figure of a young man slowly appeared in the secret chamber!

He was bald, with demonic runes inscribed on his forehead, his upper body bare, his presence extremely threatening, and in his hand he held a black Demon Bottle!

Demon Guard Can Ge… you’re one of Jing Mie Demon Marshal’s men…? How did you find this place?”

Ming Tianbei exclaimed in shock, and at the same time, he quickly spread out his hands and stood behind the little girl, shouting,

“Demon Monarch, you must flee!”

They had finally revived this Primeval Soul, and if it were taken by Jing Mie Demon Marshal, their entire faction would be finished!

Heh, think you, a mere Xuanmo, can stop me?

Can Ge let out a cold laugh and suddenly opened the Demon Bottle in his hand.

In an instant, demonic Qi tumbled about!

Ming Tianbei’s complexion changed dramatically as his demonic body was tugged by the demonic force, nearly splitting apart!

Behind him, slender streams of demonic Qi were being sucked away from the little girl by some force!

So annoying!”

The little girl frowned deeply, then suddenly stood up, grabbed hold of Ming

Tianbei, and with a swift motion of her small hand through the air,

It was as if a chasm had opened up between them and the bald young man!

They disappeared directly from the secret chamber.

The next moment, they had appeared in the Cangli Mountain Range.

Carry me on your back!

The little girl spoke urgently,

“Run! I’m still in the ‘Spiritual Sprout’ state, my strength is far from recovered, I can only hold him off for a moment.”

Ming Tianbei promptly carried the little girl on his back, took a step forward, and traversed through the void!

But no sooner had they touched the sky, a towering demonic Qi was already in pursuit from behind!

So fast!

Ming Tianbei’s face looked grim as he ran with all his might to escape.

Yet, the demonic Qi behind them was still getting ever closer!

Hmm?

Suddenly, the little girl looked down at the ground below and said,

“Quick, land, I feel an extraordinarily unordinary aura below!”

Ming Tianbei obeyed her command to descend, and the ground soon came into view.

They saw that this area was the periphery of the Cangli Mountain Range, and amidst the dilapidated mountains, there was an anomaly—a small village that was inexplicably unharmed!
