nOutside Sky Mist Mountain…

n

n

nYe Luo was confused when he saw an old man with two youngsters.

n

n

n

n

nThis fawning old man and the two young men are both here to visit the Daoless Sect?

n

n

nHe says that he’s from the Qian Emperor Dao Sect…

n

n

nWhy is this name so familiar?

n

n

nI seem to have heard of it somewhere before.

n

n

n

n

nWhere have I heard it from…

n

n

nForget it. Since I can’t recall where this sect is from and what sect this is, then I should just treat it as a trash sect.

n

n

nAs for the visit…

n

n

nMaster is not around, so what’s there for them to visit? Anyway, I can’t make the decision to let them enter either.

n

n

n

n

nWho cares what sect this Qian Emperor Dao Sect is?

n

n

nHowever, this old man is… too good at fawning and bootlicking. He can come up with all sorts of praises of me. Although I know that I am handsome, I can’t bear so many compliments at once.

n

n

nYe Luo coughed twice and said softly, “I’m sorry, Senior… My Master left a few days ago to handle some matters and has yet to return. I can’t make the decision regarding the visit. Please come back another day.”

n

n

nHe pulled the tail of the demon tiger with his left hand and held the sword with his right hand, preparing to leave.

n

n

nThe Grand Elder’s expression froze.

n

n

nYour Master isn’t here? Just because of this, we can’t visit the sect?

n

n

n

n

nIt was not easy for him to have found clues about the hidden sect. If Ye Luo left right away, how would he find the Daoless Sect the next time he came?

n

n

nAlthough he knew that the Daoless Sect was nearby, he could not locate it with his divine sense.

n

n

n“Young friend! Young friend, please wait! I am here on behalf of the Qian Emperor Dao Sect. Since this young friend’s Master is not here, may I ask if there are any seniors present in your sect?” the Grand Elder asked in an extremely humble manner.

n

n

nHe was the Grand Elder of the Holy Land of the east region. No matter where he went, he had always been treated with respect. Yet, he had to humble himself in front of a youngster today.

n

n

nHowever, since the other party was a hidden sect, it was reasonable for him to do so.

n

n

nYe Luo stopped in his tracks. There was a hint of impatience in his eyes. He was in a hurry to make a meal for himself before continuing to comprehend the Dao. After that, he still had to practice his sword at night. He didn’t have any time to waste here.

n

n

nHe took a deep breath and said, “I’m the only disciple in the sect. Master is the Sect Leader. There are no Elders in the sect anymore. The Elders in the sect have already all ascended. If you want to visit, please come when Master is back. If there’s nothing else, I shall take my leave first.”

n

n

nPu!

n

n

n

n

nThe Grand Elder almost knelt down in front of Ye Luo.

n

n

nThere were no Elders in the sect anymore…

n

n

nThe Sect Elders had long ascended…

n

n

nWhat kind of hidden sect is this?

n

n

nThe Elders of the sect have all ascended!?

n

n

nThis sentence alone revealed a lot of information.

n

n

nIt had been almost 10,000 years in the Heavenly Continent since anyone had ascended.

n

n

nEver since the appearance of spirit roots 10,000 years ago, immortal cultivators had been unable to ascend.

n

n

nThose who could ascend were people who had existed since 10,000 years ago. They had been born before the shackles were placed on humans, so they had been able to ascend.

n

n

nFrom this sentence, one could tell that this hidden sect, the Daoless Sect, had existed for at least 10,000 years…

n

n

n10,000 years of foundation!

n

n

nHow powerful would the legacy of the Daoless Sect be?

n

n

nEven a single strand of its hair would be stronger than that of his Qian Emperor Dao Sect!

n

n

n

n

nThe Grand Elder’s slightly bent waist directly bowed at a 90-degree level.

n

n

n“This handsome, promising, and cultured young friend! Does your sect lack Dao Protectors? What do you think of a Soul Formation cultivator becoming your sect’s Dao Protector?”

n

n

nThe Grand Elder licked his lips as his turbid eyes sparkled.

n

n

nThe two elite disciples behind him, “…”

n

n

nOh my God!

n

n

nThis Great Elder must be a fake.

n

n

nHe usually looked at people with his nose.

n

n

nHowever, he is now bowing and placing himself at such a low level…

n

n

nIs this really our Grand Elder?

n

n

nThey suddenly thought of the big yellow dog near their cave abode. Usually, when it saw them holding food in their hands, it liked to lick its lips and bend its back…

n

n

nYes, just like the current Grand Elder.

n

n

nYe Luo looked at the old man and was shocked. There was something wrong with this old man, so it was better for him to leave quickly.

n

n

nHe hurriedly waved his hand and said, “No need, I already have Master. Senior, I still have things that Master had instructed me to do, so I won’t accompany you any longer.”

n

n

nHe immediately turned to leave decisively.

n

n

nThe Grand Elder stopped Ye Luo with a regretful look on his face and said, “Alright, I guess you don’t lack Dao Protectors… However, could you tell us your name, young friend? Besides, the Qian Emperor Dao Sect is sincerely here to visit the Daoless Sect.

n

n

n“Since your esteemed Master isn’t here, would you be willing to paint a portrait of him so that we can look for him and visit him?”

n

n

nSince the Grand Elder could not jump ship to the Daoless Sect, he could only continue to handle the matters of visiting the hidden sect.

n

n

nYe Luo grabbed the demon tiger and looked at the old man. He was really vexed. There was no way he could escape. He could only hide his distress and put on a cold expression, hoping to get rid of this old man as soon as possible.

n

n

n“My surname is Ye, and my name is Luo. As for Master’s face, I’m sorry, but I don’t know how to paint. Thus I can’t paint a portrait of him,” Ye Luo declined politely.

n

n

nWhen the Grand Elder heard what Ye Luo said, he formed a hand seal, and a ball of golden light flew out and landed in front of him.

n

n

nHe placed the golden light in front of Ye Luo and said, “Little Friend Ye, there’s no need for you to physically paint. This is a small technique of my Qian Emperor Dao Sect. You only need to imagine your Master’s immortal appearance and imprint it into the golden light. After which, his portrait will automatically be formed.”

n

n

nThis is too much! Why can’t I shake him off no matter how hard I try!?

n

n

nYe Luo cursed the old man in his heart and was too lazy to say anything else. He took the golden light and prepared to imagine his Master’s appearance.

n

n

nIn any case, this trash sect would not pose any threat to his Master. He would just allow them to admire his Master’s immortal appearance.

n

n

nYe Luo closed his eyes and engraved the Chu Yuan in his heart into the golden light.

n

n

nAs he carved, the golden light began to flicker.

n

n

nA moment later, the golden light transformed into a scroll and floated into the air.

n

n

nThe Grand Elder and the two elite disciples immediately looked up.

n

n

nThe painting was pitch-black, with the sun and moon nowhere to be seen. The surroundings were filled with a mystical aura.

n

n

nA figure stood in the darkness. He was dressed in a snow-white robe, and his long hair fluttered in the wind. His eyes were indifferent, as though he was a supreme god that ruled over all living beings in this world.

n

n

nThe sun, moon, and stars were all in his palm.

n

n

nThe person seemed domineering!

n

n

nLines of poems were written at the bottom of the painting.

n

n

n“With the stars in my hand, I have plucked the sun and moon!

n

n

nThere is no one like me in this world!”

n

n

nThis, this, this…

n

n

nHow domineering and bold is this!?

n

n

nNot to mention the two elite disciples, even the Soul Formation Grand Elder was intimidated. His mind was in a state of shock, and he was unable to recover for a long time.

n

n

nNot far away…

n

n

nYe Luo looked at the painting and nodded in satisfaction. This was how his Master looked. He was handsome and domineering, towering above everyone in the world.

n

n

nHe was indeed his Master’s only disciple.

n

n

nHe was able to picture his Master so perfectly in his heart…
