Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Chapter 37 I, the Great Elder, Am Not a Bootlicker

Inside the Eastern Province.

Sky clear for thousands of miles.

At this moment, the Qiandi Dao Sect was bustling with activity.

Countless disciples emerged from their secluded cultivation, preparing for the upcoming Sect Competition under the command of various Elders.

The Qiandi Dao Sect is a Holy Ground of the Eastern State.

An invitation to their Sect Competition would be sent to almost all the major sects in East State.

Those medium and small-sized sects that were not qualified for an invitation would also send gifts to congratulate the Qiandi Dao Sect on holding the Sect Competition.

It could be said that.

A Sect Competition held by the Qiandi Dao Sect was enough to shake the entire East State.

Such is the influence of the Holy Ground of the Eastern State!

...

While the Qiandi Dao Sect was a hive of activity everywhere.

The top few Elders and the Sect Master gathered within the grand hall.

These Elders stood in a row down below.

A uniform image of elders.

A uniform rank of Divinity Transformation Realm cultivation levels.

At this moment, the Elders were having a discussion.

"Great Elder, what do you mean by this? Didn't you say that a disciple from the Wayless Sect, a Hidden Sect, would be coming?"

"The Sect Competition is starting in just a few days."

"Surely we can't possibly ask to delay the Sect Competition just for a disciple from a Hidden Sect, can we? Cough cough, it seems feasible, Sect Master, I request we delay the Sect Competition!"

The Elders were all anxious about the disciple from the Hidden Sect not having arrived yet.

Only two people appeared calm within the hall.

The Great Elder.

The Qian Yuan Sect Master.

Both individuals looked as usual, with no sign of surprise as if they harbored unfathomable depths.

"Sect Master, you'd better come up with a method. We can't just stand around here bickering," said an Elder who noticed the two not speaking and couldn't help but comment.

The Qian Yuan Sect Master narrowed his eyes while seated on the Sect Master's throne, casting a casual glance at the Elder.

"This matter is under the responsibility of the Great Elder; let him come up with a solution," said the Qian Yuan Sect Master lightly.

On the surface, he was as calm as an old dog, but inside, he was incredibly anxious.

He had no Cultivation Levels at the moment.

How could he come out and make a presence?

He could only pretend to be mute and push any problems onto these Elders.

After over two months of pretending, his acting skills had become remarkably refined.

Under such a tone.

None of these Elders noticed anything amiss.

Murmuring a few words about the Sect Master growing lazier, they let it go.

Lately, all they could do was turn their attention to the Great Elder.

With an expressionless face and a cool, solemn demeanor, the Great Elder gave the matter lengthy and serious thought.

"If he truly hasn't arrived, then let's postpone the Sect Competition. After all, within the entire Eastern Province, the only sect our Sect holds in high regard is the Wayless Sect. As for the other sects, let them wait if they must wait."

"Our Sect aims to establish friendly relations with the Wayless Sect. How can we start without the Wayless Sect's disciple? Won't such actions sour the relationship between our sects?" argued the Great Elder righteously.

With a look that said, 'I'm not a sycophant; I'm just considering the interest of the Sect.'

Upon hearing this, the Qian Yuan Sect Master, not caring to say much, spoke up, "If that's the case, then let's postpone the Sect Competition."

The Elders nodded in agreement.

Just as they were about to go out and announce it.

At that moment.

A disciple flew in on a sword, rapidly landing inside the grand hall.

"Sect Master! The disciple from the Hidden Sect has arrived!"

The disciple said this with an urgent and excited tone.

Hmm?

As soon as these words came out.

Several Elders and the Qian Yuan Sect Master all turned to look at that Elder.

The disciple continued, "Sect Master! At the mountain gate, there is someone holding an invitation who has come. We asked him where he came from, and he said he represents the Wayless Sect! This person, he must be a Disciple of the Hidden Sect!"

At last!

The complexions of several Elders turned a bit flush, seemingly lost in thought.

"Let's go, let's go, let's hurry and welcome this Disciple of the Hidden Sect."

"I want this Disciple of the Hidden Sect to take a good look at my boot-licking, no, I misspoke. Don't mind me. I meant my divine abilities."

"Come on, what are you waiting for? Let's move."

The several Elders quickly transformed into streaks of light and flew out.

After seeing these people leave, the Qian Yuan Sect Master finally stood up tremblingly and headed out of the great hall.

Just then, a voice slowly reached his ear, nearly causing him to lose his composure.

"Sect Master, why aren't you going over?"

Turning his head, the Qian Yuan Sect Master saw the Great Elder standing next to him.

He twitched the corner of his mouth and retorted, "Shouldn't I be the one asking you that? Why aren't you going over?"

The Great Elder shook his head, his tone rather solemn.

"I am the Great Elder of the Qiandi Dao Sect, held in high esteem. How could I act like those others? Pfft, a bunch of bootlickers!"

As he spoke, the Great Elder quietly fiddled within his sleeve.

He activated the Qiandi Dao Sect's Aerial Ban Great Formation with the push of a button.

Fly? Let me see you fly now.

Let's see if you can still fly.

After activating the Aerial Ban Great Formation, the Great Elder expended quite a bit of mental energy to manipulate the Qiandi Dao Sect's Sect Protection Trap Array, specifically targeting those who had just taken off, and cast the Trapping Formation.

Come on, let's see you try to fly for the Great Elder.

The Great Elder wants you to fly ten thousand meters, no catching up!

Meanwhile, the Qian Yuan Sect Master was unaware of all this. Listening to the Great Elder's words, he pretended to be nonchalant.

"Not bad, truly worthy of being the Great Elder of my Qiandi Dao Sect. I hold the same thought, we cannot stoop to being bootlickers."

The Qian Yuan Sect Master nodded, showing his agreement.

The Great Elder nodded with a chuckle, calculating the time.

By now, those in the Divinity Transformation Realm should have been suppressed.

Yes, he can head over now.

"That's true, Sect Master, but as the Holy Ground of the Eastern State, our Qiandi Dao Sect should showcase the grandeur of a great sect. I think we'd better go over," the Great Elder casually remarked.

The Qian Yuan Sect Master waved his hand, saying, "There's no need for me to go. Your presence as the Great Elder is enough to represent the sincerity of our Qiandi Dao Sect."

Hearing this, the Great Elder said no more and directly soared into the sky.

Soon, the Qian Yuan Sect Master was left alone.

The Qian Yuan Sect Master looked at the empty great hall and let out a huge sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Acting the role of a Holy Land Master is no easy feat...

Always on the brink of being exposed at any moment.

Lucky for him, his acting skills were quite good.

"No, this won't do. As soon as this Disciple from the Hidden Sect enters the sect, I must ask if there is any way for my Cultivation Levels to be restored."

The Qian Yuan Sect Master took a deep breath, placing his hopes on the Hidden Sect.

He simply had no way to restore his Cultivation Levels.

Not even he could do it.

It was likely that no one within the Eastern Province could either.

The only hope was the Hidden Sect...

...

Meanwhile.

Beneath the gatehouse of the Qiandi Dao Sect...
