A Joke

Behind Tian Yi's house, there is a courtyard like every other

house.

Tian Yi was currently lying down on the grass, with his eyes

closed.

Meng Xiang was also laying down next to him.

"Big Brother, are you also a tea servant now?" She asked him.

He giggled after hearing such a funny question.

"Why do you think that?" He asked her.

"Because you also have a Master now." She said.

"No, our relationship is different from a Master and Servant."

"A Master and Disciple is when the Master helps the Disciple

Cultivate, or just teach him like a parent in general. You can

call our relationship a family, yet not a family." He explained.

"Big Brother, will I also be able to Cultivate?" She asked.

"Of course. But Cultivating is very boring, all you do is just sit

there and absorb Spirit Power."

"Then why do people Cultivate if it's boring?" She asked.

"People will do anything for eternal life and power."

"Can you really live forever?"

"Of course. All you have to do is Cultivate to the Immortal

Realm." He said.

"Do you want to try Cultivating? He asked her.

"Yes." She said.

"Why? It's boring." He said.

"Because I want to reach this Immortal Realm and stay with

Big Brother forever!" She said innocently.

"Hahaha! Meng Xiang, you can stay next to me forever even if

you do not Cultivate."

"What! How?!" She asked with an excited voice.

"For now, just follow me as a Mortal. When you grow up a bit

more, you can decide whether you want to Cultivate or not."

He did not want her to Cultivate blindly like Xuan Wanshan.

When she grows up, she will definitely find another purpose

for Cultivating.

So what if she started Cultivating at 15, 20, or even 100 years

old? So what if she has no talent in Cultivation? So what her

body is not talented enough to Cultivate?

All these mean nothing in front of him!

Age? As long as she follows him, she can Cultivate whenever

she wants, even if she was to start at a thousand Years Old!

Talent? What does talent mean in front of Heavenly Treasures

and Heavenly Pills? Nothing! You can even change a Mortal's

Spirit Veins with Heavenly Pills!

"Okay, Big Brother." She did not care whether she Cultivated

or not. All she cared about was following him.

Tian Yi lifts his right hand into the sky and stares at it,

"Mother, you worry too much. This is the first time I have bled

in a very long time. I think the last time I bled was when I

fought with that Star Destroying God Ape…"

With his strength, who will even be able to make him bleed?

Because of his Pure Spirit Power Absorbing Rate, his blood

attracts Pure Spirit Power even if he does not Cultivate.

For his body to be tempered by Pure Spirit Power for his

whole 18 Years of Life, it would be weird if his Blood did not

have an extraordinary amount of Pure Spirit Power in it.

If he went back home and decided to sell a drop of his blood,

even Gods will be willing to trade all their fortune!

His Blood could even be considered as a Heavenly Treasure at

the highest Grade!

"But I still need to be careful with myself." He thought.

Thinking back to today's event, he had cold sweat coming

down his forehead.

"Luckily I only gave her a drop; afraid her Cultivation was not

strong enough!"

Afraid that her Cultivation as a Spirit King might be

insufficient, he even sealed most of the Pure Spirit Power

within it.

But to think even that tiny bit made her faint.

Xuan Wanshan can be considered extremely lucky that Tian Yi

even considered that, or her body would've exploded, unable

to mix their blood together.

With their differences, this is basically a Mortal drinking

Dragon's blood!

* * * *

Inside the Sect Master's Hall, there is yet another meeting.

"Sect Master! This relationship between Junior Sister

Wanshan and Disciple Yi is inappropriate!"

"Sect Master, there is this rumor being spread around—"

"Shut up!" The Sect Master shouts.

"Fuck! I just got back and I already have complaints?!" He

cursed in his heart.

"Their Master and Disciple relationship is healthy! I have

already checked on them. Squash these rumors before they

spread outside!" He said.

"But the way she acted during the Master and Disciple

ceremony, they will cross that line sooner or later!"

He still had complaints.

"If it gets to that point, then we'll talk again! But for now, if I

even hear a whisper of this stupid rumor, I'll roast every single

one of you!" The Sect Master yells.

"And the Ancestor will be coming out soon if he hears this,

will you be responsible?!" He added.

"T-the Ancestor is coming out of Closed Cultivation?! Why?!"

They were all shocked.

They had never even seen his face, and he decided to come out

suddenly?!

And at such a bad timing too?!

"The Ancestor said that he would personally be here to watch

this Year's Continent War!" He said.

"Continent War!" The Elders now understood why.

Although it was called Continent War, it did not mean they are

going to go to war.

It is an event that only happens once every 10 Years, with

every single Genius from all four big Continent gathering.

Once it starts, they will all fight in an all-out brawl, and the

last one standing will be rewarded heavily along with the

Continent he or she belonged to! The one giving the reward

will be the Holy Continent!

"We will definitely win first place this year, so prepare to

make a gigantic feast!" The Sect Master said with confidence.

"What? First Place?" They were all shocked.

Where did the Sect Master get that confidence from?!

You had to be extremely arrogant to claim first place in that

kind of war!

"Don't ask why just prepare yourself with extra pants before

you go watch it." He said.

"…."

* * * *

In the middle of the night, Xuan Wanshan finally wakes up.

She looked around at the unfamiliar room.

Her whole body was sweaty, making her clothes reveal her

matured body.

"…."

"What the hell happened?!" She was in shock.

That feeling she had was like breaking through to another

Realm, but increased many folds!

She slowly remembers what she did during the Master

Selection.

"Oh my god! So shameless! How will I be able to get married

now?!" Her whole face was red from embarrassment.

She has done many shameless things, but never something this

bad!

Was it caused by the Master and Disciple Ceremony, or was it

because of something else?!

"My first disciple and I've already ruined the most important

part, the Master and Disciple Ceremony!" She felt regret.

This is possibly the first and last Master and Disciple

Ceremony she will ever get to do, yet she messed it up, and

even in such a shameless way!

"How will I face my first disciple now? I bet he already

regrets having me as his Master…"

"Ahhhhhhh, to find someone like me is already impossible

enough, but now that I did, I ruined it!"

She started thinking about what to do in the future.

She did not care about the public's view, but how her disciple

viewed her was extremely important!

"Should I just act like it never happened?" She thought.

"Oh well, no use stressing over it now, I'll go and see for

myself!"

She got up, and after cleaning herself, she walked out.

She found his location easily with her Divine Sense.

Walking to the courtyard, her heart started beating faster.

After arriving, she looked straight at the figure standing there

staring at the beautiful moon.

She did not know how to call him and what to say.

"…" She stands there silently, looking at his straight back.

* * * *

Tian Yi noticed Xuan Wanshan behind him and turned around.

He had a resolute face which startled her.

He starts walking slowly towards her with gentle steps.

After arriving a few steps away from her, he stops.

He stood there, looking at his Master's beautiful, yet cold face.

She felt nervous, "What is he doing?" She asked herself.

But his next actions surprised her.

His body lowers until his knees were touching the grass.With a

calm face, he kowtowed!

"Disciple Tian Yi pays his respects to Master!" His forehead

kisses the dirt.

"…."

Xuan Wanshan knew what this meant, and she smiled. This

meant that her disciple was willing to accept her as his Master!

Although you are officially considered Master and Disciple

after the Ceremony, there was another step after that! It was

the disciple kowtowing to his or her Master, officially

accepting them as Master! Because she had passed out, Tian

Yi did not get to do this, but now that she is awake, he went

straight to it.

This is the first time in his life kowtowing to someone. For the

son of the Celestial Emperor to kowtow to someone was

considered more impossible than reaching the Apex of

Cultivation. Even if he found another Master in the Celestial

Emperor's World, the Master will not let him kowtow, but bow

at most!

But he felt no shame or regret; he only felt joy! He finally has

someone to call Master!

He stayed in that position until he heard Xuan Wanshan's clear

voice.

"Good, get up. Tian Yi, you are now officially my Disciple!"

She was happy that he did not show any signs of contempt

towards her being his Master.

"Yes, Master!" He stands back up, and his forehead was brown

from the dirt.

Xuan Wanshan laughed inside when she saw that, and she

used her sleeves to wipe the dirt of his forehead.

Tian Yi was a bit surprised at the sudden action, but he did not

move. He let her wipe his forehead, smelling a good scent

coming from her sleeves.

After wiping the dirt off his forehead, Xuan Wanshan looked

at him silently.

"Master, is something wrong?" He asked.

She stayed silent for a bit more and said, "Give me your

hands."

"Eh?" He did not even get the chance to think, and her hand

suddenly grabbed his.

She held his hands the same way she did during the Master

and Disciple Ceremony. She stared at their linked hands and

nodded. "Good! So it was because of the Ceremony!" She

thought.

"M-master?" He said in a low voice, sounding a bit shy.

"Ah, sorry. I just wanted to confirm something. Don't mind

it." She said.

"So, now that I am your Master, what do you want me to teach

you? What kind of Spirit Veins do you have, and what

Cultivation are you currently at? I need to know so I can guide

you properly." She said.

Although she said that she would not teach him anything, that

was just something she said to play with him. If she really did

not guide him, she was not fit to be a Master and would've

never considered having a Disciple.

"Master, I already said that you did not have to guide me." He

looked at her with a confused face.

He already said that he did not need any Cultivation

Techniques or guidance. Even she said it herself that she

would not guide him…

"You actually took that seriously? If I don't guide you

properly, what use am I as your Master?" She looked at him.

She did not think that he actually took that seriously!

"Just tell me so I can teach you some Cultivation Techniques.

If you don't tell me, you don't consider me as your Master!"

She said seriously.

"!!!" Tian Yi's eyes went wide. Not even a few minutes in and

he was about to make his new Master mad!

"I have the Infinite Stellar God Veins, and my Cultivation is…

I don't know what it's called!" He said seriously.

"?????" Xuan Wanshan was bewildered at his answer, "Are

you cracking a joke with me? What kind of Spirit Veins is

that? And what did you mean by you do not know your own

Cultivation?! Will you believe me if I said I will beat you right

now?!" She said with an angry voice. To not know your own

Cultivation, are you even a Cultivator?

Tian Yi regretted saying that. He looked up to her as a Master

and forgot that she was a Mortal.

"Master, I was cracking a joke with you. You said to keep you

away from being bored…" He made an excuse.

"Ah, is that so? Then I forgive you." She nodded with a cold

face. "What a good disciple! He remembers his promise! I sure

picked up a good one!" She laughed in her heart.

"So, what is your actual Spirit Veins and Cultivation?" She

asked him again.

Tian Yi starts putting his wise mind into use.

"I have Fire Attribute Heaven Veins, and I am also a Spirit

Realm Expert!" He said.

"?!?!?!?!?!?!??!" Her eyes went wide after hearing that. This

normal looking disciple she picked up is actually a Heavenly

Genius with Heaven Veins?! She could not tell his Cultivation

for some reason and even prepared herself for the worst

scenario. But now he's telling her that he's a genius like Chan

Jingyi and Qiu Heng? She did not believe that she was this

lucky!

"Are you joking again?" She looked at him with a cold face.

She did not want to doubt him, but it was hard not to!

"Do I look like I am joking?" He said in a serious voice and

started hovering in front of her; then he flew around her in

circles…

"….." She was shocked speechless! It was true! Not only did

she pick up a disciple that knew what she was feeling, but he

was also even a genius compared to her!

Now one of the many worries she had gone away. She was

worried about him not having enough talents, unable to

become an Immortal. Although she will not ascend anytime

soon, she will one day. And when that day comes, she hoped

that her disciple would be able to follow her into the next

Realm.

"Good! As expected of my disciple, not bad!" She praised

him, but not too much. She did not want to spoil him.

"Thank you, Master!" He smiled.
