Limitless - Chapter 218: Start of the Main Competition

Even though it was quite a distance from the hall, all of the powerful individuals stiffened slightly.

Even the Butterfly Dance Legendary Emperor used her divine gaze to look in that direction.

This aura was far from ordinary!

In the eyes of these powerful individuals, this aura was not strong. In fact, it was quite weak.

They immediately knew that this was someone breaking through from the King’s Realm to the Supreme Realm.

However, when an ordinary King’s Realm cultivator broke through to the Supreme Realm, the aura would not be this strong.

The only way they knew that this was a King’s Realm cultivator breaking through to the Supreme Realm was because they benchmarked it against the talents around them.

Could it be that another superior talent broke through again?

However, this talent’s cultivation level was still slightly weak.

As such, these elders were just slightly stunned, then dispersed.

However, the True Lord and Divine Lord cultivators of the Sky Dazed School pair extra attention to this.

They had an insatiable thirst for talent.

Lin Shi’s ritual of becoming a Legendary Emperor’s disciple was paused slightly.

But it did not stop because of what had happened.

The Divine Warfare School also did not have any official comments on this incident, but many of them were agitated about this.

Lin Shi was one of the Heaven’s Pride talents in the Divine Warfare School. At such a young age, she had managed to come into the Mirror World from another universe.

Just this opportunity was enough to awe others.

After entering the Divine Warfare School, she became a disciple of Divine Lord Jingyi and entered the Supreme Realm, becoming a youthful power.

Such a talent would be valued in any school, bar none.

Yet, she had been poached away.

On social media, there had been rumors that this was all planned by the Sky Dazed School.

The Butterfly Dance Immortal had eyed Lin Shi all this while and come up with this plan.

However, there were more people dismissive of such a view.

"What kind of person is the Butterfly Dance Immortal? You all should go check it out and keep your mouth in check. Just because the Immortal does not fault you, that doesn’t mean that you can run your mouth this way!"

"What a joke, does the Sky Dazed School need to poach? Does the Butterfly Dance Immortal need to poach? Other than Divine Lord Jingyi of the Divine Warfare School, no one will know the truth. But it’s alright, we believe the Sky Dazed School! We believe the Butterfly Dance Immortal!"

"Yes, we believe!"

At such a critical moment, the Sky Dazed School’s fantastic reputation showed itself!

Their reputation was so good that no one believed that the Sky Dazed School would do anything immoral.

The debate on social media became extremely one sided.

However, the eye of the storm, Lin Shi, had completely fallen off the radar.

Her leave had also caused some damage to the overall power of the Divine Warfare School.

Initially, they were confident of breaking into the Second Tier, now, that was going to be extremely difficult.

Except for that explosion of aura at the moment of breaking through, Chu Yu’s vertical eye suppressed all the remaining auras.

After the first burst, there were a few more auras of increasing power that were on the verge of exploding.

If not for the suppression from his vertical eye, there may have been countless powers on the scene right now.

In the entire Mirror World, only a handful of talents could experience these auras when breaking through from the King’s Realm to the Supreme Realm.

In the instant that Chu Yu broke through, and even stronger ray of purple gas exploded from his vertical eye and entered his Nascent Soul. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Even though Chu Yu did not have any techniques for cultivating his Nascent Soul, when that purple gas entered his Nascent Soul, the Nascent Soul began to cultivate on its own.

The aura that exploded in that instant stunned even Chu Yu.

He did not expect that the improvement and gain in power when he broke through to the Supreme Realm would be of such magnitude.

As such, over the next two days, he isolated himself as he tried to explore the skills and abilities he gained through this breakthrough.

Afterwhich, Chu Yu went to the library in his area.

With his breakthrough, his understanding of the cultivation knowledge improved by leaps and bounds.

At the same time, regardless of what technique he learnt, the superclass was able to digest it and make it his.

This feeling was extremely intoxicating.

During this time, Xu Xiaoxian came by to visit a few times. Everytime, she was disgusted by Chu Yu studying those techniques.

During one of her most recent visits, she could not take it any longer and threw Chu Yu a few Divine Lord level Supreme Realm teachings.

Then, she advised, "Even if you’re trying to raise your cultivation level quickly, can you not read trash like this everyday? Look at yourself, you’re like a nerd!"

To this, Chu Yu silently accepted the techniques and teachings she threw on the table, then continued reading.

Xu Xiaoxian could not take it any longer and retreated.

Shortly after, she returned, "Let’s go and play!"

Chu Yu rolled his eyes and looked at Xu Xiaoxian, "Are you a kid?"

"Mm, I’m still a baby." Xu Xiaoxian replied indignantly.

"..." Chu Yu could not be bothered with her and continued reading.

He continued doing this until the start of the main competition.

By the main competition, all the unranked schools and superior schools were completely serious.

The Purple Cloud School was stymied in the first round.

They were up against a ranked 100+ superior school which sent out powerful battle cultivators.

They also had many powerful defensive magical equipment to block the attack pills from the Purple Cloud School.

They fought for over half an hour, finally, the Purple Cloud managed to barely edge out in the first round.

After this round, the Purple Cloud School was not particularly excited.

This victory was too hard fought!

This also let the youthful students understand the power of the superior schools and keep their confidence in check.

However, as for the pill refining section, the Purple Cloud virtually smashed all in their way!

The fourteen of them took turns taking to the stage and defeated all their opponents.

They were too powerful!

This was a completely different ball game from the preliminaries. The opponents were more powerful and focused.

However, the 13 girls and Song Binbin were unfazed by it.

They won each challenge by a huge margin.

The Purple Cloud Pill Refining Section was on fire!

Everyone on social media was praising this section of an unranked school!

"If there is to be a bright spot in this year’s championship, it must be the Purple Cloud School... they are shining very brightly, and are definitely a dark horse!"

"If they are a dark horse, I must say that their pill refining section is a purebred dark horse! Aren’t they a little too powerful?"

"Where did an unranked school in the bottom 300s find so many great talents? Could they all be hired? What kind of price did they pay?"

"Bullsh*t hired, they wouldn’t be able to hire students of such caliber even if they sold their entire school. Furthermore... I don’t think that their students are that talented. In fact, I think their teacher is the talent!"

"I have some understanding of this school. Prior to this, they didn’t even have a pill refining section, but after they got a powerful Sensei...

News spread quickly in the Mirror World, especially if I was as big as the interschool championships.

All of the related news spread like wildfire.

However, Chu Ya has a gag order on this.

Furthermore, he confiscated the messengers of all his fourteen students.

"Do not see, do not hear, do not reply, do not participate!"

This were the rules Chu Yu set for his students during the period of the championships.

No matter what, these were youths and they would be easily affected by their surroundings.

Both compliments and doubts could get to their head and Chu Yu wanted his students to be in the best possible condition.

As his cultivation level rose, his understanding of the Immortal Crane Pill Scripture became deeper.

He began to learn new things, even when he reread things.

He then imparted those new foundation level knowledge that he got to his students.

Even though the pill refining section was only 14 strong, they were incredibly powerful!

Right now, many students and even teachers from countless superior schools came knocking on their doors asking for medicine!

This people actually wanted medicine refined by this mysterious Sensei!

However, Chu Yu was too busy cultivating to bother with these requests.

The sixth day of the main competition.

The Purple Cloud School was ranked 99th!

To the teachers and students of the Purple Cloud, this was an incredible result.

And at this point, Xu Xiaoxian had yet to come on!

The competition was long, and these six days were only 10% if the challenges.

The Purple Cloud did not have any matches on the seventh day and Xu Xiaoxian dragged Chu Yu out of the library.

"This is your first time in the Sky Dazed School, yet you are not going shopping, that’s unforgivable! Do you know how prosperous the Sky Dazed School is?" Xu Xiaoxian looked at Chu Yu, "Do you know how powerful... the various medicines and magical equipment sold here are?"

"I don’t have any money." Chu Yu said shyly.

In order to learn Xu Xiaoxian’s Human Form Changing Technique, he had given her virtually all his spiritual stones.

He had used up the rest during his cultivation over the past few days.

The Nascent Soul in his Dantian was a spiritual stone furnace and he used up spiritual stones faster than an ordinary Supreme Realm cultivator.

As such, Chu Yu only had some medicine and some pills he refined on him.

He really did not have many spiritual stones.

Xu Xiaoxian glanced at Chu Yu out of the corner of her eye, "Don’t you have some True Soul Pills on you? Go and auction one off and I’m sure you’ll get a few hundred thousand top quality spiritual stones. If you meet a big spender, you may even get a few hundred best quality spiritual stones!"

Xu Xiaoxian’s reminder made Chu Yu remember that he still had those pills.

He took out a jade bottle and poured out all the True Soul Pills. After a brief count, Chu Yu smiled, "I have eight left, I’m guessing it can fetch quite a high amount?"

Xu Xiaoxian’s lips twitched as she looked at the pills in Chu Yu’s hands. After she finally recovered, "I heard that the pills you refined were ugly, I finally understand that today. You created three Divine Lords with this?"

Limitless - Chapter 217: Disciple of a Legendary Emperor

However, quickly, Divine Lord Jingyi’s expression turned green as she was on the journey back. She received a message, that road... was gone!

They people that she had sent found nothing after arriving at the coordinates provided!

Absolutely nothing!

There was no path there!

All they saw was the sturdy wall of the Mirror World.

Without a path, these people sent by Divine Lord Jingyi did not even have a chance to leave the Mirror World, much less enter the Solar System through a black hole.

They didn’t even have to think about it.

At this point, Divine Lord Jingyi guessed that the Butterfly Dance Legendary Emperor had come out to help Lin Shi!

She wanted to go crazy and tell the Butterfly Dance Legendary Emperor that she had been bluffed!

The third disciple that you want to take, the disciple that you stole from me... she planned this out from the start.

Then, she would viciously bring harm upon you!

But what was the point of saying this?

Even if the Butterfly Dance Legendary Emperor believed her, which she may not, what would he do?

Even though Divine Lord Jingyi had talked about having a saint recover Lin Shi’s memory, were saints so easy to activate?

Even though she was tough with her son, Jingyi knew that saints would not action on something so trivial!

Over the past 60 million years, the seal on the Village of Cultivation would have weakened.

Before saints did anything, they would always have their own considerations.

How can they be moved so easily by what others say.

Furthermore, even though she was a Divine Lord, she was extremely far from saints.

She did not even see the ancestors in the Divine Warfare School, who were saints.

Since young, she had only seen a saint’s Dharma body once.

However, her hate towards Lin Shi had already reached a point of no return.

She did not think about what she had done wrong, she only saw Lin Shi’s betrayal!

Lin Shi had betrayed her without hesitation!

This was something that could not be tolerated!

When Divine Lord Jingyi returned to the Divine Warfare School, she received news that angered her so much she went straight into isolation.

Lin Shi officially becomes a disciple of the Butterfly Dance Legendary Emperor!

In a huge hall in the Sky Dazed School.

Many powerful individuals came out of isolation to attend this.

What shocked many was that these people did not use their Dharma bodies to attend, opting to personally attend it!

Even though these superior cultivators all tried to suppress their aura, their bodies still radiated with rays of light.

From afar, the hall looked like it was filled with light!

The sky above began to change.

This was such an awe inspiring scene.

For schools like the Purple Cloud, they did not qualify to watch this on scene, but the entire Sky Dazed City had screens levitating in mid air broadcasting the events.

.

Chu Yu stood in the courtyard as he looked at the screen in the sky, conflicted emotions building in his heart.

Lin Shi had cleansed her memory and emotions in order to protect him, as well as her friends and family.

From today onwards, she would become a true cultivator of the Mirror World.

Would we meet on opposite sides of the battlefield?

Would she not recognize me?

Chu Yu felt extremely depressed at this point.

"I will definitely find you!"

Chu Yu swore to himself.

Afterwhich, he turned and returned to his room.

Fatty raised his head and looked at the screen. Lin Shi’s exquisite face was plastered all over it.

Fatty sighed lightly, then looked towards Chu Yu’s room. He shook his head, then returned to his room.

Xu Xiaoxian excitedly retrieved a luxurious chair and an exquisite coffee table from her storage ring.

She laid out some snacks and set up a tea kettle. She watched the scene unfold as she made tea and ate her snacks.

Her white, slender legs shook as she sat on the chair, extremely contented with what she was seeing.

After Chu Yu returned to his room, he retrieved a pill.

It was still extremely ugly and weirdly shaped. But he never despised his own pills.

Fiery Blood Pill!

It was crimson red, almost as if it was made from blood. It was smooth, almost like ruby.

The engravings on the pill were like a work of art. Upon closer inspection, the engravings seemed to have a mystical strand of Dao.

If this pill was round, it would definitely be nicer to look at.

But Chu Yu did not care.

He had been refining this pill for some time now. Its main effect was to create a huge wave of force to break apart the shackles and enable him to breakthrough from the King’s Realm to the Supreme Realm.

Initially, Chu Yu did not want to use pills to improve himself. Even though he knew that the Fiery Blood Pill that he refined virtually did not have any side effects, he had wanted to use his own abilities to breakthrough.

But now, he could not wait any longer.

For the first time in his life, he hated himself for being so weak and slow to improve.

If he was a superior, powerful cultivator now, would Lin Shi be so helpless?

Chu Yu sighed, then ate the pill.

The pill immediately disintegrated and a huge wave of force filled up his entire body.

He looked inside his body and he could see that his countless blood vessels were expanding, waves of force flowing inside them.

The golden pill in his Dantian also expanded greatly and began to change in shape!

This was the most crucial step, his pill was becoming a Nascent Soul!

That smooth and shiny golden pill with a purple glow began to morph, lines of red forming on its surface.

It was almost like blood vessels in a person!

Chu Yu controlled the energy in his body and charged against the shackles.

Outside.

On the huge screen, an icy and beautiful Lin Shi knelt in front of the Butterfly Dance Legendary Emperor and presented a cup of tea with both hands.

The Butterfly Dance Immortal smiled and accepted the tea.

At this point, someone watching from the crowd murmured.

"The Butterfly Dance Immortal is a powerful being, don’t you think it is a little unbecoming for him to recruit a disciple this way?"

The voice was old, even though it was not loud, it was extremely piercing in the quiet environment.

The entire hall went silent as they looked for the source of the voice.

Anyone who could come to watch was at least from a tier three school.

The person who said this was a Vice Principal from the Divine Warfare School.

He was a Divine Lord Realm cultivator.

He was tall and slim, his gaze were deep and he bunned his hair up. His eyes glimmered and he looked extremely handsome.

This man was named Cheng Wu. He made his name aeons ago. Even though he did not make it to the Legendary Emperor Realm, his power was unimaginable.

In the Divine Warfare School, his reputation and standing were extremely high.

Furthermore, Wu Cheng and Divine Lord Jingyi were good friends. Divine Lord Jingyi’s son, Leng Ao, was his favorite disciple!

With such a relationship, Wu Cheng’s outburst was within reason.

However, many still admired Wu Cheng for his courage.

Not many people would dare to interrupt the process of the Butterfly Dance Legendary Emperor accepting a disciple.

They were all thinking about how the Butterfly Dance Legendary Emperor would react. No one expected that the Butterfly Dance Immortal seemed to ignore it as she extended a hand... and took the tea from Lin Shi’s hands.

She took a sip and placed the cup by the side.

Then, she looked at Lin Shi, "Child, from today on, I am your master!"

　

Many people stared, wide eyed, mouths agape.

All of them were stunned!

Ignored!

The Butterfly Dance Immortal ignored Cheng Wu!

Even though she was much more powerful than Cheng Wu in terms of cultivation, she was much younger than Cheng Wu.

When Divine Lord Cheng Wu had made his name, the Butterfly Dance Immortal had not even been born.

There were tens of thousands of years between them!

Yet, the Butterfly Lord Immortal had ignored Wu Cheng.

Just like how she was rumored to be... how oppressive!

Even though Wu Cheng sat there, his face flushed. As a Divine Lord cultivator, he was able to carry himself very well, but right now, he felt extremely humiliated.

Then, Lin Shi respectfully bowed to the Butterfly Dance Immortal.

The relationship between master and disciple was formed.

This scene stunned everyone in the hall as well as everyone watching on the huge screens or their messengers.

They were all extremely excited!

"Hahaha, Butterfly Dance Immortal is great, she ignored Divine Lord Wu Cheng!"

"Divine Lord Wu Cheng is quite a powerful cultivator, won’t he feel conflicted after being ignored this way?"

"I feel like the Sky Dazed School... went a little overboard this time. Even though Lin Shi had cleansed her memory, everyone knows that she is from the Divine Warfare School!"

"I don’t think so, if Lin Shi did not meet with unresolvable difficulties, why would she cleanse her own memory?"

All kinds of views were voiced on social media.

The ones most unhappy about it were the Divine Warfare School people.

At this point, Butterfly Dance glanced at everyone in the hall before her gaze landed on Cheng Wu.

She said flatly, "She is more suited to be my disciple."

"..." Cheng Wu’s expression turned green!

This lady was incredibly domineering!

She didn’t want to explain anything to him, opting to diss him.

She was extremely vicious, poaching Lin Shi in such fashion.

No matter how good tempered Cheng Wu was, he could not resist but reply coldly, "Is this how the Sky Dazed School does things? Powerful, so domineering?"

"Yes!"

It was as if the Butterfly Dance Legendary Emperor was an immortal from heaven. Her internal power and aura radiated strongly.

She looked at Wu Cheng icily, "Even Jingyi does not dare to confront me about this, yet you dare to? Does she dare to come tell me why this girl would rather cleanse her memory than stay by her side?"

This caused Cheng Wu to flush with rage and he turned and left.

He would only humiliate himself further if he continued the argument.

At this point, a ray of aura rushed to the air from where the Purple Cloud School was residing.

Limitless - Chapter 216: Explosive News

Chu Yu had been having such experiences all the time!

He was lost initially, but now he finally understood that the Superclass was not just about the Acupoint Charging and Invigorated Meridian techniques.

As he progressed through the cultivation realms, Chu Yu felt that the Superclass had many mystical properties still not uncovered by him.

Now, Chu Yu finally began to understand why it is called a Superclass.

It was just as its name suggested, it was a super technique book.

Yet, he found himself in disbelief.

It could understand all sorts of techniques, then melt and digest it before making it Chu Yu;s own!

As Chu Yu absorbed and exposed himself to more techniques, this feeling became more and more obvious.

This also made Chu Yu intoxicated by the knowledge.

He could keenly feel his battle prowess rising.

This feeling was great!

"Are these scrap pieces worth reading? Or is it that you can extract the good stuff from it?"

Xu Xiaoxian’s shrill voice could be heard next to Chu Yu. Then, she took up a seat opposite Chu Yu.

She was still wearing that pink princess dress. Her smile was adorable and innocent as she rested her head in her hands and looked at Chu Yu.

"If you have nothing for me, go away, don’t disturb me from studying." Chu Yu said without raising his head.

"Pui, I wanted to come to tell you something, but since you’re so apathetic, forget about it."

Xu Xiaoxian stood up and glanced at Chu Yu, "Nerd, take a look at social media."

Then, she bounded out of the library like an innocent girl.

Chu Yu ignored her and looked at yet another technique in one sitting.

Only then did he sigh and stretch.

　

He felt like he had gotten a lot from today.

At this point, he remembered what Xu Xiaoxian just said. He frowned and opened the social media site.

Today, news about the interschool championship was trending.

The Mirror World’s social media authority had opened a board specially for the championship.

Chu Yu entered the board and saw the biggest news.

"Shock! Divine Warfare School’s Heaven’s Pride lady Lin Shi is going to become a disciple of the Sky Dazed School’s Butterfly Dance Legendary Emperor!"

Hiss!

When Chu Yu saw this, he gasped, his eyes filled with disbelief.

What’s going on?

Wasn’t she engaged just some time ago?

Could she have been recruited by the Sky Dazed School?

　　

But... her master is a Legendary Emperor?

What was a Legendary Emperor?

Just one level below saint!

Even though Chu Yu was not clear how powerful a Legendary Emperor was, he knew that such a powerful cultivator would not accept disciples easily.

What happened?

Chu Yu opened the news regarding Lin Shi for the first time.

The post had already attracted billions of replies with varying opinions.

　

Chu Yu’s eyes were fixated on what the main post said.

"When I first got this news, I did not believe it."

"Butterfly Dance Legendary Emperor... I know who that is, the most powerful Heaven’s Pride Lady in the Sky Dazed School’s recent history! I heard that she became a Legendary Emperor at only 10,000 years old!"

"But who is Lin Shi? Sorry, I am not well read, so I’ve never heard of her before. As such, I went to find out."

"In the end, I found out that, Aiyoyo, this lady is quite impressive!"

"A few years ago, she entered the Divine Warfare School. She is said to have entered the Mirror World from another universe."

　

"If that is the case, then she’s very powerful! And it is no wonder why Butterfly Dance Legendary Emperor thinks highly of her."

"Lin Shi entered the Divine Warfare School and Divine Lord Jingyi was her master. At that time, this caused quite a commotion within the Divine Warfare School. Such an opportunity was rare."

"Some time ago, there was news of Lin Shi’s engagement. Upon investigation, the person she was engaged to is Divine Lord Jingyi’s son... Divine Warfare School’s first youth expert, Leng Ao."

"Initially I did not think much of it. Marrying her own senior was cause for envy."

"However, this incident seems to have some sinister undercurrents. Sometime ago, I heard that Lin Shi found a mental technique where she could sever all of her memories. No one knows why, but for some reason, she trained in this technique and cleared all her memories."

"This is too shocking, to someone like me, I feel like removing all my memories and my emotions is worse than death."

"I am only me because of my memories and experiences. Without them... I would not be me!"

"My guess is she went through something unimaginable before making this decision. Really, I can’t do it, but I admire her courage."

"Now, Lin Shi is a completely new person. She is about to become a disciple of the Butterfly Dance Legendary Emperor, let us wish her the best!"

After reading this post, Chu Yu could not calm down.

He finally understood why Xu Xiaoxian would specially come down to tell him.

This was huge news!

Why would she do this?

Chu Yu immediately thought that Lin Shi may have been forced into it!

They were childhood friends and knew her extremely well.

Lin Shi was not someone who would accept being forced to do something!

It shouldn’t have been difficult for a Divine Lord like her master to surmise that she had come from the Village of Cultivation, the Solar System.

Chu Yu’s eyes squinted. His expression was calm, but his rage filled his heart!

Divine Lord Jingyi must have forced Lin Shi to marry her son, using everyone around her as a threat.

As such, she would rather cleanse her memory than let them get what they wanted.

Even though he did not know the full story, he felt that his guess was quite close to the truth!

At this point, Chu Yu was in self reproach.

When she needed him most, he did not know, and could not help!

When she was being forced and coerced, how helpless was she?

Divine Lord Jingyi...

Divine Lord!

And her son... Leng Ao!

The first talent of the Divine Warrior School?

I want to breakthrough!

Chu Yu’s eyebrows flashed with fury.

This post quickly became the most popular topic on social media.

To many youths, the Butterfly Dance Legendary Emperor was a senior who was far beyond their reach.

However, in actual fact, in her youth, she was also an extremely popular lady, and was part of the most superior batch of talents.

At 10,000 years old, she entered the Legendary Emperor Realm, just one realm away from becoming a saint.

Before this, she only had two disciples, Lin Shi was her third!

As such, this news caused a huge commotion.

There were countless smart people in this world, and many were guessing that Divine Lord Jingyi, as well as the engagement between Lin Shi and Leng Ao, was not as simple as it seemed.

"What kind of experience would let a righteous and powerful Heaven’s Pride lady choose to cleanse her memory and emotions?"

"What kind of role does Divine Lord Jingyi and that talented son of hers’ Leng Ao play in this? I’m guessing... it’s not a good one?"

There were many people bravely commenting on social media.

This was quite like the internet on Earth. Since they were anonymous, who would be scared of saying anything?

Regardless of Divine Lord Jingyi or Leng Ao, they couldn’t simply go find trouble with these people just because they said something bad about them. Based on their standing, it was beneath them to find trouble with these people.

However, these comments were quite bad for them!

Within a few days of this incident being leaked, it had taken the world by storm.

Even though Lin Shi was the heart of the storm, she was unharmed.

Not many people dared to confront the Sky Dazed School or the Butterfly Dance Legendary Emperor.

Even if there were, Divine Lord Jingyi and her son were not part of that group.

In fact, Divine Lord Jingyi had already arrived at the Sky Dazed School, but was unable to see Lin Shi.

Lin Shi had already been brought away by the Butterfly Dance Legendary Emperor.

Jingyi only saw her son, Leng Ao.

Leng Ao was utterly devastated.

He did not even dare to look at the comments on social media.

If he even took one look at it, he would go crazy!

Almost all of the comments were chiding his mother and him.

It was clear that the fault in this incident lay with him and his mother.

However, now that Lin Shi’s memory had been cleansed, there was no one could testify against them.

But for some reason... with the participation of the Sky Dazed School and the Butterfly Lord Legendary Emperor, this incident became extremely complicated, with many people participating in the conversation. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Divine Lord Jingyi looked at her son with disappointment.

The more powerful a cultivator, the more difficult it was to have a descendant.

She went through a lot to have a son, and she pampered him since young, giving him the best of everything.

As long as it was something Leng Ao wanted, she would do everything she could to get it for him.

As a Divine Lord, there were few things in the world that she could not get.

In her view, Lin Shi was just a talented but inexperienced girl.

In order to deal with her, not much effort was needed, she just had to be straightforward!

For someone as powerful as her, did she need to conceal her thoughts?

Of course no!

In the end... never in her wildest dreams would she expect that Lin Shi would have stabbed them in the heart this way.

This had completely broken their rhythm!

The Butterfly Dance Legendary Emperor... why would such a powerful talent value Lin Shi?

And the Sky Dazed School... how can they do something like this?

Snatch someone else’s disciple?

That was too much!

Divine Lord Jingyi wanted to accuse and tell the world that the truth wasn’t like this, she was wronged!

But she really did not have the courage to match up against the Butterfly Dance Legendary Emperor and the Sky Dazed School.

She could only suppress the humiliation she felt.

"Mother, I want her!"

　

Leng Ao’s eyes were red, clearly devastated.

Divine Lord Jingyi looked at her son and sighed, "You didn’t even watch over her properly, and you let her have a chance to link up with people in the Sky Dazed School. Now, it is impossible to get her."

"Mother... I cannot accept that!" Leng Ao started tearing.

It was difficult to imagine that such a talent in the Divine Warfare School would turn out this way over a girl.

"You’re really in love with her." Divine Lord Jingyi was extremely saddened when she saw the change in her son.

In that instant, rage flashed in her eyes and she said icily, "This b*tch caused you to become like this? I will not let her off! Does she think that just because she cleansed her memory, no one can find out her past? How innocent! If a saint comes along, her secret will be a piece of cake!"

"Mother, what do you want to do?" Leng Ao looked at his mother in awe.

Divine Lord Jingyi said coldly, "That road that I opened was meant just for us and our people to find opportunities in the Solar System! But now, I would go to the Sky Dazed School’s leadership! I will tell them Lin Shi’s secret, then, there will be a saint who would action on it and find out all about her!"

"No... don’t!" Leng Ao became worried and looked at Divine Lord Jingyi, "Mother, you will harm her if you do this."

"Hmm? My silly child! She has already cleansed her memory and emotions in a bid to avoid us! Yet, you’re still speaking up for her? Are you stupid?"

Divine Lord Jingyi looked at her son, her expression steely, "We cannot let this little b*tch off! Also, I will send people on that path! I don’t believe that I won’t be able to find information on her in her hometown! Even if she cleanses her memory and can’t remember anything, I will still kill all her friends and relatives! I will let her know that a Divine Lord is not to be humiliated!"

Leng Ao fell to his knees and begged, "Mother, please don’t do that, I’m begging you!"

"You..."

Divine Lord Jingyi was infuriated by her son.

"Why do I have someone as incapable as you?" Divine Lord Jingyi raged.

Leng Ao begged, "I will definitely go there, find the person that she loves and kill him myself! But, please let her relatives go!"

Divine Lord Jingyi took a deep breath and looked at Leng Ao in disappointment, "You have become weak over a girl, how shameful!"

"Mother, I’m begging you!" Leng Ao’s eyes were pleading.

"Aish, forget about it, take it as this never happened before." Divine Lord Jingyi turned and left.

She did not want to stay in the Sky Dazed School any more than she needed to.

After she walked out, she left quickly.

The moment she left the Sky Dazed City, she contacted someone over her messenger and ordered icily, "Immediately send people to the coordinates I gave you. Enter Earth and kill everyone related to Lin Shi!"

Then, she switched off her messenger and murmured, "Silly kid, what isn’t yours, will never be yours!"

Limitless - Chapter 215: Saints Never Die

"Over 10,000 years old... such longevity!"

Lin Shi exclaimed.

"Long?" The elder glanced at Lin Shi, "Child, do you know? 10,000 years to a Divine Emperor is considered youthful?"

"Ah? Youthful?" Lin Shi looked at the elder in astonishment.

The elder shook his head, "I don’t know if you knew this before you lost your memory, now that we have some time, let me fill some of the gaps."

Lin Shi’s interest was piqued and she sat in front of the elder and prepared to listen.

In actual fact, up till today, even many in the Mirror World did not know the lifespan of the best cultivators.

　

If someone successfully completed the foundation and became a true cultivator... which is a Xiantian, would have a lifespan of about 300-500 years.

The extremely powerful ones at the pinnacle of Xiantian could live for 700-800 years.

But they generally could not live past a thousand years old.

Once their time was up, they would leave painlessly.

King’s Realm cultivators, with a golden pill in their body, had a significantly longer lifespan.

Cultivators in this realm could live for more than 3000 years.

However, this time span still paled in comparison to the tides of time.

However, to most lifeforms on Earth, a lifespan of 3000 years was quite impressive.

The most powerful King’s Realm cultivators could live up to 6000 years.

As for the Supreme Realm, with a nascent soul’s support, they could live for more than 10,000 years.

　

They would experience changes in era and society.

In this realm, many could calm down and do what they wanted to do.

However, the biggest dream of those in this realm was to get to an even higher realm and give their nascent soul wings.

In the eyes of the ordinary person, a Supreme Realm cultivator was divine.

However, if they didn’t manage to breakthrough further, a Supreme Realm cultivator would still die and return to the Earth.

To be straightforward, even a Supreme Realm cultivator could not escape the rules of life.

When one became a True Lord, they would be incredibly powerful at the sacred arts and their lifespans would increase manifold.

The lifespan of a True Lord is at least one era... 208,600 years!

The ‘True’ in True Lord refers to True Dao!

This level of cultivators had already surpassed that of any ordinary person’s imagination.

Their understanding of Dao must be at an extremely high level.

They were capable of transporting themselves through time and space.

They could seal themselves for millions of years and could extend their lifespan indefinitely. They could also use techniques to retain their memory and go into a loop.

Any lifeform in this realm had complete understanding of life.

As such, many Supreme Realm cultivators would do anything to enter the True Lord Realm.

The Divine Lord Realm was even more outstanding.

They could live for more 5 million years.

The Divine Lord Realm made someone near divine!

They could extend their lifespan endlessly and had many techniques to rise again in a short time.

For a Divine Lord, after they were reborn, they could still travel the universe willfully.

This was the reason why Mu Hai of the Wafting Fragrance School, as well as Qiao Zu of the Sword Rain School, or even Song Lun of the Song Royal Family thanked Chu Yu the moment they entered the Divine Lord Realm.

This favor was even greater than reengineering!

Even though Chu Yu was a young man, in the eyes of these Divine Lords, he was like a god!

From True Lord onwards, every new realm was a whole new realm of discovery.

When one entered the Legendary Emperor Realm, lifespan increased to billions of years.

Even after billions of years, a Legendary Emperor could use extremely superior medicine to have a second, and even third life!

In the universe, only one statement could be used to describe Legendary Emperors.

"Emperors, do not die easily!"

The elder looked at Lin Shi and sighed, "As such, if news broke out that you are the closed door disciple of a Legendary Emperor, many people would go crazy!"

People will really go crazy, Legendary Emperor!

Someone who you could follow through the tides of time.

Even though you couldn’t start the journey with this cultivator, any cultivator capable of such power was unimaginably terrifying.

Lin Shi looked at the elder, "All these were given to me by senior, I will always remember this!"

"This is your opportunity. I do not recommend any ordinary person to the Butterfly Dance Immortal; similarly, the Butterfly Dance Immortal does not simply accept anyone he sees as his disciple.

The elder looked at Lin Shi, "You have huge potential, that’s why I recommended you, and that’s why the Butterfly Dance Immortal was moved. Else, do you think an ordinary person could excite a Legendary Emperor this much?"

Lin Shi was shy when she heard this torrent of compliments. After contemplation, she said, "Senior, please tell me about saints."

"Saints... are the masters of this universe. There is a saying, if you are not a saint, everything is for nothing. Even a Legendary Emperor cultivator will return to the ground one day. Even if they can reincarnate and rise again, that is... another person. This delves into the secrets of reincarnation which I have not discovered."

The elder said faintly, "But I am sure of something, after reincarnation, things... would change naturally. As such, even though all the knowledge is retained, that is a different person altogether!"

"Saints... are different. Those are beings not affected by time. Saints are as old as the universe."

Lin Shi contemplated the implications.

The elder sighed, "It is because saints are so high and untouchable, that’s why everyone wants to become a saint. It is why... the Mirror World exists. So many evils have been accepted because the temptation of becoming a saint... is too great! No one can resist it."

Lin Shi nodded, not fully understanding what was being said, unaffected by what was being said.

Right now, her mind was like a white piece of paper. Even her master, Divine Lord Jingyi or the Butterfly Dance Legendary Emperor could not retrieve any memory from her mind.

Unless, a saint worked his magic.

　　...…

As the 16th place of the unranked schools, the Purple Cloud’s residence changed.

They moved to another location. Even though it was not as good as the superior schools, it was much better than before.

Coincidentally, the Ice Lord School was one of their neighbours.

However, they weren’t direct neighbours, with another school in between the two of them.

This time, the Ice Lord School was ranked sixth amongst all the unranked school.

They were still the strongest amongst the unranked school. Except for that loss against the Purple Cloud School, they virtually won the rest of their matches.

The couple that they did lose was because they did not want to reveal their trump cards.

It was just to qualify for the actual competition, it didn’t matter if they ranked first or tenth.

However, now, the Ice Lord School did not dare to look down on the Purple Cloud School anymore.

The fact that they could rank 16th, even considering that the other unranked schools were holding things back, was sufficient to prove that they were quite strong!

It’s actual rank would be in the 200s.

The unranked schools outside of the top 200 ended their campaign.

Many of them were in no hurry to leave and they most of them continued to stay in the Sky Dazed School.

They wanted to watch the main competition, or walk around in the Sky Dazed City.

To the Sky Dazed School, the accommodation and food for these schools were insignificant expenditures to them. Their generosity always landed them a good reputation.

To rank first was something that everyone hoped for.

After the preliminaries concluded, there was a two week break before the commencement of the main competition.

Much like Lin Shi, Chu Yu was extremely interested in the Sky Dazed School’s library.

Even though he had in hand two saint legacies, the Confucius Superclass and the Crane Saint’s Immortal Crane Pill Scripture, there was no break to be had in the road of cultivation.

The Purple Cloud School library did have quite a few ancient annals, but few of them were of value.

Even though Chu Yu was granted full access, he could not find many of the things he wanted.

But this place was different.

Chu Yu heard that the Sky Dazed School had many more places with more superior records. He envied them and wanted to go check them out.

But security here was strict and access was restricted.

However, for his current cultivation level, what he was looking at, was sufficient.

　

The other Purple Cloud students also came with him to the library and soaked up all the knowledge they could.

　

The next week passed by uneventfully.

This morning, Chu Yu woke up and came to the library, wanting to find a set of techniques on Supreme Realm martial arts.

The other techniques that he had studied were too low level. It was a good thing he had not met any true Heaven’s Pride talents, or he would really be disadvantaged.

Even though the techniques here weren’t particularly powerful, they were sufficiently good for Chu Yu.

However, the moment he entered the library, he felt like he was being watched.

That was the warning from his vertical eye.

Chu Yu was slightly shocked, there were many people watching him from the shadows recently... but none of them triggered a warning from his vertical eye.

This could only mean one thing, this man watching him, had ill intentions!

This was the Sky Dazed School!

Who would dare do such a thing?

After spending some time here, Chu Yu began to understand it more.

As the number one school in the Mirror World, they had immensely deep foundations and strong powers backing them.

He did not even dare to use his vertical eye to observe the people from the Sky Dazed School.

Chu Yu was thankful to Yi. If not for Yi sending him to this world, he would never realize how powerful this place was.

No matter how composed and logical a person was, they may still be complacent.

But no longer.

Even though Chu Yu had not met the greatest talents in this world, he had heard much about them.

He would respect these people, then work hard to defeat them..

　

Chu Yu entered the library expressionlessly, then, the feeling that he was being watched gradually disappeared.

Chu Yu sighed, then calmed himself down after entering.

He found a book on Supreme Realm boxing and began reading it.

As he understood it, the Superclass in his body started working and this boxing technique began to enter Chu Yu’s memory.

Furthermore, it began to combine with and reinforce the previous techniques he had learnt!

The mystical thing about a saint’s technique - it will surprise you time and again.

Limitless - Chapter 214: Butterfly Dance Legendary Emperor

The elderly person looked at the classical book in Lin Shi’s hands, and then turned towards Lin Shi.

How could she so cold-heartedly wipe away the memories of her past?

As the saying goes: All it takes to become a deity or a devil is one spell.

Although it was easy to describe it in words, who could actually perform that feat?

Regardless of transforming into a deity or a devil, it requires massive amount of courage, willpower and determination.

Until a person had reached a state of inner calm, could he decide on such an action.

Undoubtedly, the lady seemed to be too young for this!

Just what terrible experiences did she go through? She looked to be only in her twenties!

The elderly person could not help but to pity her, and gently gazed at her.

"Child, are you alright?"

With bleakly eyes, Lin Shi looked towards the elderly person. "You are?"

As she spoke, she lowered her head and read the words on a piece of paper placed on top of the classical book.

"I’m sorry..." she murmured softly.

The elderly person had glanced at that paper, but he did not read the contents fully.

He had only glanced at a line on the top of the paper, which emotionally moved the steady composure that he always had.

It wrote: The next time that you see these words, you would have already wiped all of your memories away. Your name is Lin Shi. The predecessor of the library’s custodian is an upright man who deserves respect.I guess that he would be extremely skilled in cultivation, and could help me to block off that path. The coordinates of that path are…..

The elderly man’s cultivation skills were indeed deep, and he had read a good chunk of the contents from a glance.

At the bottom, the words written were: You could learn from him in the Sky Dazed School…...

The elderly person did not read the contents of the paper thereafter.

He silently concluded that this lady must have experienced many inexplicably terrible ordeals.

Hence, she had no other choice but to wipe her entire memory away, along with nearly all of her emotions.

"Child, regardless of what you had been through, you seem to have been prepared for this. I had accidentally looked at the words that you wrote on that paper. I did not imagine that you looked up to me so highly," the elderly man chuckled.

Although Lin Shi had wiped her memories away, the elderly man did not.

For the past few days, Lin Shi had been cooped up in the library, unrelentlessly reading and searching for information.

Occasionally, the elderly man would help her by giving some advice.

He could not have imagined that he was so highly respected by the lady.

In the Sky Dazed School, there were no ordinary people. Even the most mediocre student in the school was an innately gifted individual with a specialty.

Those who were the custodians of the Sky Dazed School’s library, must be people of exceptionally high caliber!

During the time spent on Earth, Lin Shi had well-managed a huge business group.

Her IQ was even more impressive than her gift for cultivation!

For these few days, she had made all of the necessary preparations. Hence, everything that had happened was due to her planning.

"I had made a fool of myself — now, I cannot even remember why I had erased my own memories. Nonetheless, I wish to become your disciple. Would you kindly teach me?" Lin Shi sincerely pleaded with the elderly man.

On the bottom of that paper, these words were clearly written: You were originally a student of the Divine Warfare School, under the tutelage of a Divine Lord Cultivator. She threatened you to marry her son, who was the top talent in the entire school —Leng Ao. You must stay far away from them, and be under the aegis of someone more powerful.

The old man was slightly startled, and creased his eyebrows.

Lin Shi passed the slip of paper to the elderly man.

"Sir, you can have a look at this. I’ll tell you everything that I know."

The old man remained silent. He doubted that any important experiences of her life would be written on that slip of paper.

If not, there would not be a need to wipe her memory clean.

Nonetheless, he took a step forward and glanced at it.

When he saw that there was a reference to the Divine Warfare School, his eyebrows twitched.

Certainly, he knew of its existence. The school was always known to be strong, with a rich heritage.

However,it was not comparable to the Sky Dazed School. Still, the Sky Dazed School was one of the top institutions in the Mirror World.

"Divine Lord cultivator..." the old man whispered.

"How could it be her?"

"Sir, you recognise this person?" Lin Shi was surprised.

Although the Mirror World was huge, it was hard to guarantee that two seemingly strangers could not be acquaintances, or even close friends.

This intricately complicated affair was unknown to many.

The preparations that Lin Shi had made before wiping her memory were more than sufficient.

Every time that Lin Shi had mentioned about the Sky Dazed School, her master had no kind words to say. Apparently, her master had a deep hatred against some individuals within it.

It could be due to this that made Lin Shi carry out this decision.

However, now that she had no recollection of her past, she began to worry upon seeing the old man crease his eyebrows.

The old man chuckled, "I do know her, but don’t you worry child. There’s no relationship between us".

"Sir, in that case..." Lin Shi gazed at the old man, her eyes filled with hope.

The old man sighed and shook his head.

"I am unable to accept you as my disciple. You are an exceptional talent, being able to reach the Supreme Lord realm at such a young age. You are not inferior to the geniuses of the Sky Dazed School."

"In that case, then why?"

Lin Shi looked towards the old man expectantly for an answer.

The old man explained, "If I were to accept you as my disciple, then I would be holding you back. The techniques that you use are those of the Gods…..and they seem to be exceptional! They could even be passed on from the Buddha. I could only teach you the Dao ways of the Earth. Hence, I will not be of much help to you, other than..."

The old man pondered for a moment, and then exclaimed.

"I could recommend another master to you!"

Lin Shi earnestly waited for him to continue speaking.

Suddenly, the old man stopped for a few seconds, and then boomed, "She will be here soon!"

At this moment, there was a loud ruckus outside of the library.

As the old man had used a magical formation to seal this level, no one could enter the premises from the outside. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

"My fiancee is inside, and I’m looking for her over an urgent matter. What are you doing and why did you seal her inside?"

Leng Ao had furiously shouted from the outside.

A flash of anger had erupted within Lin Shi’s eyes.

Though she had lost her memories, but some of her instincts had been retained!

Besides, she had read the words that she wrote for herself.

The old man frowned and roared, "Whoever is making a ruckus outside, know that you are in a library! SCRAM!"

The old man stood still at his position, and had a terrifying power. Suddenly, he reappeared outside and blasted the young white-shirted man away.

Leng Ao was knocked outward before landing on the ground a few hundred metres away.

Though he did not sustain any injuries, he was engulfed in cold sweat.

However, the anger within him did not dissipate.

This was because he had realised that if Lin Shi were to defect to the Sky Dazed School…...then what would he do?

At this moment, the old man’s chilling voice rang out towards Leng Ao.

"Your fiancee is not here. If you dare to cause a commotion here again, then your punishment will be much worse than this. Scram, you bastard!"

Leng Ao’s handsome face was contorted with shock. Being the top talent of the Divine Warfare School, he should have some reputation and influence within the Mirror World.

But now, he was met with a rude and cold voice.

He was berated by a stranger, and he could not take this insult lying down.

However, he was also clear that this was the Sky Dazed School and not the Divine Warfare School.

Hence, he could only grit his teeth and leave the area. Subsequently, he informed his mother of this incident.

Within the library, the old man reassured Lin Shi.

"Don’t worry, child. Not even him or his Divine Lord cultivator mother could break through this impenetrable fortress!"

As he spoke, the silhouette of a person abruptly appeared beside the old man.

It was a fog shaped like a human, which materialised into a person in the twinkling of an eye.

A gorgeous thirty-five year old lady had appeared in front of Lin Shi.

Without waiting for the old man to speak, the lady glanced towards Lin Shi and exclaimed.

"What a pure and merciful power! Are you a practitioner of the Buddha’s techniques?"

Lin Shi rushed towards the lady to bow.

"I am Lin Shi, and I do indeed practice the Buddha’s techniques".

The lady swept her eyes across Lin Shi’s entire body, and knew of her condition immediately.

" Erased your memories? Forgone your emotions? My goodness…..just what terrible things have you experienced?"

The old man had not even managed to tell these facts to the lady within this short span of time.

"I do not know either. Perhaps there were many reasons," Lin Shi gently chuckled.

At this time, the old man stood at the side and explained Lin Shi’s situation to the lady.

Upon hearing the situation from the old man, the gorgeous lady looked towards Lin Shi and casually smiled.

"I will accept you as my disciple!"

Lin Shi was about to bow in respect, until the lady extended her hand to stop her. "Child, please do not rush. Previously, I had told myself that I could only accept one more disciple. So, being my last disciple, our ceremony has to be more formal than this. One more thing — you had wanted to seal that path. I guess that was because you’re afraid that someone might hurt your loved ones?"

Lin Shi nodded her head hesitantly, and then sheepishly said, "I don’t even remember".

"Wiping your memories away, how could you remember! I will help you to seal that path!"

The gorgeous lady was a swift and decisive person. Upon finishing her words, she had vanished from the area.

Lin Shi was utterly blank.

Glancing over at Lin Shi, the old man laughed.

"Child, you are really blessed with good fortune. I wouldn’t have imagined that the Butterfly Dance Legendary Emperor would really accept you as her disciple. The person that you saw was just her projection. Even her projection would be powerful enough to seal that path. This deity had not appeared for over ten thousand years. This could be the moment for you to meet a saint."

Legendary Emperor?

A Legendary Emperor who had lived for over ten thousand years?

Although Lin Shi’s memories and emotions were wiped cleaned, she was speechless upon hearing those words.

It was difficult to believe that the mesmerising lady had been alive for so long.

Also…...a Legendary Emperor’s Realm cultivator!

They were only second to the saints in terms of their cultivation prowess!

Limitless - Chapter 213: Severed

After all, since Chu Yu was not a student, he could be poached to join another school without straining inter-school ties.

Also, for unexpected scenarios, the powerful individuals will not make a move.

　

Nonetheless, Chu Yu felt that he was being watched.

Previously, when he walked around the Sky Dazed School, nobody will bat an eyelid at the sight of him.

　

Now, it was different. He seemed to be watched everywhere he goes.

This resulted in him not leaving the school, choosing to focus on cultivation and comprehending the Immortal Crane Pill Scripture.

As to the materials that he were studying, they were laid on the tables of many great men before him.

"True Soul Pill? An instant transformation to become a Divine Lord Cultivator? This method of cultivation could only be created by Legendary Emperor Realm Cultivators… or it could even be the work of a saint!"

Upon seeing Chu Yu’s materials, some powerful cultivators would start murmuring to themselves.

In the Mirror World, the number of Supreme Lord Cultivators is unknown.

However, the Supreme Lord Realm is the pinnacle of cultivation.

Hence, such rumours or information regarding cultivators of this realm would definitely attract the attention of many.

After a month had passed from the start of the competition, it was finally time to compete against the underdogs.

The Purple Cloud School's forty-two victories out of fifty matches, resulting in 126 points, is ranked sixteen places amongst the unranked schools.

Under the non-intervention of Xu Xiaoxian, Purple Cloud’s Battle Section were held back.

As time went by, people's understanding of Attack Pills had gradually deepened, and they devised a few counter-measures against it.

In a few matches, some opponents solely brought along powerful counter-measures against the Purple Cloud School.

Amongst the unranked schools, there were many young and powerful prodigies as well.

Meanwhile, Chu Yu did not sharpen his skills on pill refining. Hence, in this kind of scenario, it was difficult to avoid failure.

Against these odds, the Purple Cloud School had not the slightest bit of disappointment.

The tactful hiding of skills was meant as a preparation for future competitions.

If they were to reveal their entire hands during the qualifiers, and were consequently analysed then countered, they would definitely face difficulties.

Hence, although every student of the Pill Refining Section did participate, the ones who participated in the later matches withheld showing off their talents.

This move was very risky, and yet it exemplifies their confidence.

In a month’s time, the high school students would be very carefree.

Their activities were different according to the tier of the school that they were in.

Students of the ninth-ranked tier can only participate in a limited amount of activities. However, when compared to the unranked schools, it was a world of difference.

The Sky Dazed School had many libraries available for students to conduct their academic research.

The Sky Dazed School had too many resources!

　

In any random bookshelf in their libraries, there are many priceless classics.

The ninth-ranked tier had a vast collection of useful books as well.

It would not be an exaggeration to state that any book retrieved from the Sky Dazed libraries, would be a priceless collection in an unranked school.

However, not everyone had the ability to study them!

Even in a ninth-ranked tier’s library, these books were in the top tier.

One must have certain cultivation skills to have access to them.

However, in this place, these books were carelessly placed everywhere.

Every inter-school competition was an academic feast for the students.

Nonetheless, it was also the time when the huge difference between the first-ranked and ninth-ranked tiers was felt.

This was only the scene of a ninth-ranked tier school competing. If a top tier school were to compete, the library would be scattered with books of Divine Lord cultivator level.

Hence, regardless of the world that one lived in, life was not fair. What one valued as priceless may not be the same for another person.

But in Lin Shi’s eyes, these books were treasures!

The 33rd ranked Divine Warfare school was considered average in the third-ranked tier.

Hence, every book in the Divine Warfare School’s library was valuable!

Any book would fetch a sky-high price if it were to be sold.

Thus, the library was equipped with a magical monitoring system. The books were meant to be read only within the confines of the library.

If not, the magical system would immobilise the person bringing the book out.

A True Lord cultivator was rumoured to have attempted stealing books from the library, only to be discovered by the magical system and consequently restrained.

Even a True Lord cultivator was unable to overcome the magical system.

In the end, he was awkwardly immobilised, and had to wait for people from the Sky Dazed School to release him.

No punishments were dished out to the offender, and the Sky Dazed School even gave the book to that True Lord cultivator.

But, the True Lord cultivator was too ashamed to return ever again.

These were anecdotes that Lin Shi had heard before, and she secretly admired the Sky Dazed School.

In the past few days, she was cooped up in the library, endlessly searching for a special book.

She had finally found it.

Looking at the book, Lin Shi felt hesitation welling up within her.

She had decided to study this technique, but there were too many things that were difficult to let go.

She felt that during the past few days, there were eyes spying on her wherever she went.

Though she was mighty lady of the Divine Warfare School, her freedom was severely limited.

Thankfully, those people monitoring her did not have the impudicity to follow her into the library.

During these days, Lin Shi wrote words that could largely be only read by Chu Yu and her, hiding them within the library.

She hoped that if she were to go missing, Chu Yu would be able to find her.

"If I could only be given a few more years’ of time, then I would not do such these things, but…"

Lin Shi sighed silently, and opened an ancient book.

This book was on cultivating one’s mental power.

Within it, there was a chapter on erasing memories...not only erasing the memories of others, but of oneself.

Upon flipping the book to this chapter, tears welled up in Lin Shi’s eyes.

She heaved a deep sigh, and her eyes gradually sharpened.

"I’d said this before, I will never ever betray my own country and my loved ones…ever!"

Lin Shi murmured to herself, and then began learning about this technique.

Lin Shi’s talent was extremely remarkable, and could be among the crème de la crème.

She was nearly as strong as the beings residing within the Mirror World.

While she was learning the technique, the expression of her body was changing as well.

Her facial expression was gradually becoming blank.

Finally, her eyes became icy cold.

This coldness in her eyes were completely different from before.

There was not a hint of emotion!

Boom!

A blast had erupted from Lin Shi’s body.

Afterwards, there was another gigantic shock wave that engulfed the entire library.

There weren't many people in the library, but all of them had felt the shockwave and tilted their heads up in horror.

At a corner, a sleeping elderly person suddenly awoke, and his expression indicated that he was overcome with shock.

He cried out, "Have the Gods finally descended upon us? "

　

In order to be truly considered as a powerful cultivator, one must minimally attain the level of Legendary Emperor Realm.

This was because the power of this shockwave was so strong!

Lin Shi’s back immediately began radiating a God-like magical ring.

That golden-white ring gently illuminated the area and made Lin Shi look saintly.

From being at the basic stage of the Supreme Lord Realm, she had accelerated upwards to the peak of that realm.

The Nascent Soul within her Cinnabar Field meditated and looked skyward, emanating a mystical ring behind her as well!

Whoosh!

That elderly person appeared behind Lin Shi, dumbstruck by her power.

Upon looking at this young lady radiating the aura, many people stood rooted in disbelief.

"How could this be? "

The elderly person was petrified, staring at the golden ring emanating from Lin Shi’s back.

This was the God's Aura!

Legends told that only True Lords cultivators and above could emanate these auras, but these auras were rare nonetheless.

These auras were usually radiated when Divine Lord cultivators were using their power.

How could a Supreme Lord cultivator produce such an aura?

Could it be that this lady was a God’s close disciple?

The elderly person did not dare to interfere, and instead activated the magical formation system. Afterwards, she evacuated everyone out of the library, and sealed the premises.

While the bystanders were evacuated, gossip was rife as nobody understood what had transpired.

In the distant Divine Warfare School, a beautiful twenty-nine year old looked skyward as she was cultivating in secret.

Suddenly, her eyes flew open! She was utterly shocked and in a state of complete disbelief.

The sacred recording mark that she had left on Lin Shi’s body had disappeared!

"You little scum...you dare to run?" the lady’s voice was icy cold, and her eyes flashed with a killing intent.

Immediately, she retrieved her phone and texted the news out.

Leng Ao, who was currently in the Sky Dazed School, was overcome with shock as he received the news.

"Where is she?" he asked those around him.

Unsuspecting of anything, the people around him replied, "In the library".

"She did not step out of it at all?"

"Yes, she was always at that corner."

　

Upon hearing those words, Leng Ao furrowed his eyebrows.

His mother had just informed him that the sacred recording mark on Lin Shi’s body had disappeared. He was instructed to find Lin Shi immediately, watch over her vigilantly and await for his mother’s arrival.

Leng Ao was unnerved by this piece of news, as it had been too many years since his mother had stepped foot out of the Divine Warfare School.

Could it be that Lin Shi had got into an accident?

In the library, Lin Shi had completed her cultivation, and gently opened her eyes.

　　

Devoid of emotions, her eyes only reflected a sense of tranquility.

She had completely severed all ties with her past.

　　

Even a saint would face immense difficulty from retrieving any memories of her past from her mind.

The current Lin Shi knew only her name. How she had came to be, and the events that had transpired — all of these memories were wiped away.

Wiping her memories had severed her attachment to nearly all forms of emotions!

And, the aura on her back was becoming increasingly lustrous.

Library of Heaven's Path - Chapter 168: The Discerning Ability of a Master Teacher

Pu!

Everyone's body shook, as though they had been struck by lightning.

Initially, they thought that perhaps Sun Qiang may have made a mistake, or perhaps their ears were playing tricks on them. Yet, that fellow repeated the same message.

Cursing Liu shi's family...

Furthermore, so brazenly. The heck, fatty, where did your confidence come from?

Master Yuanyu was frozen on the spot and tears streamed down his face.

I had only spoken of Master Teacher Yang Xuan's existence, I didn't mean to offend anyone... Now great, if Liu shi were to be maddened, it would definitely cause an uproar. If Yang Xuan turns to be a real master teacher and he pursues the matter, a battle would definitely ensue. Afterward, ... there would be no more afterward...

The crowd was shocked. Sun Qiang thought that the reaction meant that he was spot-on and he stood proudly.

That was the method that the old master used to scam Ling Tianyu. The moment he opened his mouth, the other party immediately gave in. He had imitated Zhang Xuan's disposition and gesture down to the very details, making him seem like a superior existence which had seen through the fabrics of the world.

With his head tilted upward, his glanced downward to see if the other party had conceded to his greatness and kneeled down to call him 'master'. Yet, he only saw the frosty look on the other party’s face. In fact, even his guards drew their swords.

"Old master, I am going to kill him..." The guard bellowed as he prepared to charge forward.

"Hm? Why isn't it working?" Looking at the guard's behavior, no matter how foolish Sun Qiang could be, he realized that something was definitely amiss. Gedeng, his heart leaped. Could it be that his statement was inaccurate? Even so, he decided that he must uphold his status and authority.

Whenever the old master spoke, he often incurred the wrath of others. But after his words proved to be right, the other party would immediately give in.

Upon thinking of this, Sun Qiang's confidence surged once more, "How about this, allow me to touch your wife... Oh, since your wife isn't here... You... are a beast, you're looking for it..."

After musing for a moment, he recalled the other catchphrases of the old master.

The surroundings were completely silent.

Big brother, I thought that you were quite bold to have cursed Liu shi's family. To think that you still have more up your sleeves...

Wanting to touch Liu shi's wife, calling Liu shi a beast, saying that he was asking for it... I have seen brazen people, but I truly haven't seen anyone as brazen as you...

Liu shi's face was also steeled. His face twitched uncontrollably and he looked to be about to pass out from anger.

If not for his incredible tolerance, he would have definitely killed this fellow with a single slap of his.

"Old master, please allow me to kill this foolish lad who dares to insult you!"

The guard, Ah Yun, clasped his hands as he asked Liu shi for permission.

"Tell him who I am!"

Liu shi flung his robe.

He actually desired to kill the person before him as well. However, the other party’s arrogance caused him to be apprehensive.

If not a master teacher, how would a lowly butler dare to behave in such a manner?

If the other party were truly an incredible master teacher, he wouldn't be able to withstand the other party's wrath when he finds out that his butler was killed.

Thus, it was better for him to behave prudently, deciding to first reveal his identity and observe the other party's attitude.

"Fatty, our old master is the Honorary Grand Duke of the Beiwu 2nd Tier Kingdom, Master Teacher Liu Ling..." Ah Yun stepped forward and declared.

"Like I care whether you are some grand duke or whatsoever..." Halfway through his words, his plump body trembled as he asked, "What did you say? Master teacher? He is a master teacher?"

He might be able to snub the grand dukes of other countries, but the same cannot be said about master teachers.

"Indeed, our old master is a 1-star master teacher. For you to insult him, you are truly courting death!"

Ah Yun clenched his teeth.

A master teacher is not an existence that can be sullied by anyone. To curse his entire family in public, demand to touch his wife, and call him a beast... Just these were sufficient to warrant his death penalty over a hundred times.

"Courting death?"

Sun Qiang's mouth twitched. He nearly knelt from the fear that he felt.

He thought that he could just act cool and peacefully pass off as an expert for once while the old master wasn't present in order to improve the old master's impression of him. Yet, in the midst of doing so, he became a fool instead.

The old master did the exact same things as well, but why is it that he was always able to get the other party to kneel in fear, not daring to even breathe loudly, while on the other hand, he just had to meet with a master teacher...

Why is there such a huge disparity even though we are both humans?

Insulting a master teacher... Isn't this equivalent to committing suicide?

What should I do?

Sun Qiang's plump face folded into countless creases and he was on the verge of tears.

"Go and report to your old master that Master Teacher Liu Ling, Master Teacher Zhuang Xian, and Master Teacher Zheng Fei are here. As for your matter, I will settle it personally with your old master!"

Seeing the previously arrogant plump butler trembling in fright, Master Teacher Liu Ling waved him away.

If the other party were truly a master teacher, letting off his subordinate could be considered a favor to him, equivalent to giving him face. On the other hand, if the other party turns out to be bogus, he could make a big fuss and take him down immediately, thus exacting vengeance for the insult. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

"The old master has been out since morning... I don't know when he'll be back..." Upon hearing that the other party would not be dealing with him for now, Sun Qiang heaved a sigh of relief.

Upon knowing the other party's identity, he no longer dared to behave as arrogantly as he did before.

"You don't know when he'll be back?" Liu Ling and the others frowned.

They can't possibly keep waiting here for him.

"Yes!" Sun Qiang nodded his head.

"Alright then. Here is our name scroll, you take it for now. We'll pay our visits when your old master is back."

Liu Ling beckoned and the guard, Ah Yun, stepped forward to pass a name scroll.

"Yes!" Sun Qiang did not dare to refute his words and immediately accepted the name scroll from the guard's hands. Upon seeing the words 'master teacher' on it, his eyebrows twitched uncontrollably.

"Let's go!" Since the other party wasn't here, the three master teachers couldn't be bothered to waste their time on a butler. Thus, they turned around to leave.

Only after seeing them disappear into the distance did Sun Qiang heave a sigh of relief. He wiped away the cold sweat on his body before walking into the courtyard.

Upon entering, he felt his knees give in and he fell to the floor, paralyzed.

Looks like one can't just simply go around feigning to be an expert. Otherwise... One might not even know how he dies... I will never do it ever again...

…………………………

"Liu shi, why didn't you directly kill that fellow who insulted you?"

When the crowd left, the guard, Ah Yun couldn’t help but inquire.

Those who are able to become master teachers are by no means kind. Liu shi never hesitates when it comes to killing others. But why was he able to tolerate the plump butler saying such words to him?

"Brother Zheng, what do you think of it?"

Ignoring his question, Liu Ling turned to Zheng shi, Zheng Fei, and asked.

"The master residing in the mansion doesn't seem to be a simple figure. If he is truly a master teacher, it is likely that his capabilities are superior to ours." Zheng Fei nodded his head with a grim look.

"Indeed!" Zhuang shi, Zhuang Xian, nodded his head as well.

"But... didn't we not see the owner of the mansion?"

Hearing the conversation between the three master teachers, everyone felt puzzled.

They didn't see the old master the plump butler spoke of. If so, how can they be so sure that the other party's capabilities are superior to theirs?

Even Yuanyu, who was following behind, felt perplexed.

"We didn't see him, but we saw his butler." Liu shi said.

"That weak fellow?" Ah Yun became even more confused. Was there anything special with that weak fellow?

"You all have only seen the surface!" Liu shi shook his head. "I have taken a look at the butler’s constitution. It is not just poor; it can be considered to be extremely inferior. Logically speaking, his limit would have been Fighter 3-dan Zhenqi realm. However, did you see how strong he actually was?"

"Fighter 4-dan Pigu realm advanced stage..."

Ah Yun hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Indeed, he has reached Pigu realm advanced stage. Furthermore... Based on how he doesn't seem to have perfect control over his zhenqi, his breakthrough should be something that occurred recently. Putting this together with what Master Yuanyu said, that this Sun Qiang is someone he hired on a whim and that he was previously just a merchant in the commercial city... It is very likely that the rise in his strength is due to the guidance from the master of the mansion..."

After which, a grim expression appeared on Liu shi's face. "Given such inferior constitution and unexceptional cultivation technique, the zhenqi in his body should have long sunk due to excessive impurities, clogging all of the meridians throughout his body. Yet, he was able to induce a breakthrough in him in a few short days, even raising his strength by an entire realm... It would be hard for me to induce such growth in others."

As master teachers, they specialized in guiding one's cultivation. As such, they were able to easily recognize Sun Qiang’s unique condition.

There are clots in Sun Qiang's meridians, causing his impure zhenqi to sink. According to logical deduction, it should have already been an incredible feat for him to reach Zhenqi realm pinnacle. Yet, contrary to their expectations, the latter had achieved Pigu realm advanced stage. No matter how foolish they were to be, it is obvious that the other party possesses exceptional abilities.

If Zhang Xuan were to hear their conclusion, he would definitely be astounded.

Master teachers aren't just for show, their discernment abilities were indeed impressive.

It is no wonder that it could become a profession that everyone on the continent fears. The sharpness of their eyes isn't something just anyone can match up to.

"If I'm not wrong, the other party had used an extremely pure zhenqi to destroy the shackles in his body and meld the sunken zhenqi, thus allowing him to achieve a breakthrough. Then, the sunk zhenqi he accumulated over numerous years caused his cultivation realm to soar, eventually stopping at Pigu realm advanced stage!"

The silent Zhuang shi hesitated for a moment before speaking.

If Sun Qiang were here, he would definitely be shocked. His experience was exactly as how the master teacher before him had described it to be.

"To be able to meld the sunk zhenqi with his and break through the clots in his meridians, that person's zhenqi must be at least intermediate tier. Or else... his cultivation must have reached Zongshi realm!"

Liu shi nodded his head, agreeing to Zhuang shi's words. Then, he turned to Ah Yun and said, "Regardless of whether he is an expert who possesses intermediate tier zhenqi or a zongshi... Even if he isn't a master teacher, he isn't someone that we can afford to offend. On the other hand, if he is a master teacher, even if he isn't as experienced as us, it is likely that he wields a greater level of potential. If he had slaughtered his butler back then, it would have been equivalent to falling out with the other party, thus making it impossible to reconcile with him in future. If so, we might as well sell him a favor. After all, that butler is just an insignificant figure. He was probably scared witless after knowing of our identity."

"Yes!" Ah Yun nodded his head.

He knew that his old master possessed incredible discernment abilities and that he was able to tell the truth through minor details. Thus, he did not inquire further about the matter.

"Incredible!"

Upon listening to their deduction, Master Yuanyu widened his mouth in astonishment.

It is no wonder that master teacher is such a prestigious occupation. With a single glance, they were able to analyze so many details. Their eyes are truly fearsome.

"But old master, that person isn't in his mansion, so what should we do now?"

Ah Yun asked.

"Even though he isn't in his mansion, it doesn't mean that we are devoid of ways to verify his identity. Inform Emperor Shen Zhui of the matter and tell him to summon the few people who had been treated by this Yang Xuan to the royal palace. I want to take a look at them personally..."

Liu shi delegated.

"Yes!" Ah Yun nodded his head.

Upon hearing those words, Master Yuanyu was impressed.

It wasn't of great importance that the person in question wasn't present. It wasn't a secret that Yang Xuan had helped Ling Tianyu, Du Miaoxuan, Luo Chong, and Apothecary Chen Xiao... As long as they were to gather and question them, they should be able to understand the situation.

It would then be clear whether the other party is genuinely a master teacher.
