My Master Disconnected Yet Again

Xun Li had absolutely no regard for Shen Ying. He glared aggressively at Yi Qing beside her and said, “You successfully ascended to immortality, your immortal meridian…”

He hesitated. Instinctively, he started to conjure a seal to close up the entrance from the Azure World, but he realised that he had now lost control over the mystic realm. His face fell and he began to fume in anger. His face began to twist in rage.

He spent hundreds of thousands of years nurturing his immortal meridian, spent so much effort constructing the Azure World, and used up so much energy to introduce life forms into the world, yet… Yet now it has been reduced to just another average world, like thousands of others. He lost all control over his creation!

“Unbelievable! A few ants from the lower realm actually dared to destroy my mystic realm and break my immortal meridian!” His eyes reddened as he shot a death glare at Yi Qing. “You think that by ascending to immortality, you would be free from all other worries? If I don’t let you, you can only dream about growing as an immortal!”

He gestured toward the immortals behind him and gritted his teeth. “Destroy all the bones of every single man atop this peak! But leave that sword cultivator who destroyed my immortal meridian alone – I want to kill him myself!”

When he finished speaking, the immortal Qi in his body burst forth. He drew his immortal weapons and charged toward Yi Qing. The Immortal Qi around him surged so strongly that it pushed the surrounding immortals out along with it. With an unbelievable amount of immortal power, he thrust his sword directly toward Yi Qing.

Suddenly, his arm tensed. His body got pushed back to where he was standing originally. The woman who had been shouting earlier was now beside him, smiling.

“Sorry, I was the one who thought of helping him ascend to immortality. You’re after the wrong guy,” she said calmly. “If you want to take revenge, I’ll grant your wish!”

“…”

——————

Ever since he got back to the immortal realm an hour ago, Bitao has been worrying incessantly. He had been strongly against Shen Ying’s idea to help Yi Qing ascend to immortality in order to open the gates to the immortal realm.

Wasn’t this akin to committing suicide?

There was no need to even talk about whether the people from the Qing Tong Immortal Abode would find out that the immortals they had sent to the lower realm have already been wiped out; they would never allow anyone from the lower realm to complete the Lightning Tribulation. They would do everything in their power to destroy the Immortal Ascension Stage.

That was why he said that it would be impossible for Yi Qing to ascend to immortality.

Yet… their plan worked.

“…”

The great bolt of lightning that followed the 81st bolt of the Lightning Tribulation was so strong that even Bitao was unsure if he would have been able to survive it. But Shen Ying seemed to grab it with one hand effortlessly.

Yes, she grabbed it!

It was a bolt of lightning – not a shoelace or a weapon. To this moment, he could not figure out how she grabbed the intangible and formless bolt of lightning.

What’s more, with a flick of her wrist, she managed to pull all the Mystic Immortals down from above, destroying their immortal bones. One of them was even the steward of the immortal abode.

This… is unbelievable!

He could hardly believe his own eyes. What happened next made him rethink his definition of “strong” and “powerful”.

“Sect Master, you and the elders can rest assured and ascend to immortality. The rest of us will continue to train hard. One day, we will reunite in the upper world.” Yu Hong stared in awe at the Heavenly Beam. She was excited, but she also could not bear to see them leave. She sucked in a deep breath to repress the tears which threatened to flow out of her eyes.

The eyes of the disciples behind her also began to well up. They held back their tears and stared at Shen Ying, not daring to blink as they tried to etch her image in their hearts before she left.

“Okay.” Shen Ying nodded. “Goodbye! Please be careful after I’m gone.”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Yu Hong nodded furiously. “Sect Master, please take care of yourself. When the rest of us ascend to immortality, we will continue to clean up your house for you.”

What?

Clean up…

Shen Ying paused. She did not know what to say.

Suddenly, she stepped forward and grabbed Yu Hong’s hand. In a serious tone, she said, “I think… it’s impossible to even apply for a visa to get to the immortal realm from the Azure World. It’s way too inconvenient. Why not… we all migrate there together!”

“…”

Bitao did not understand what “migrate” meant, but his eyes widened when he saw Shen Ying suddenly jump toward the entrance to the immortal realm and pull the small opening apart until it grew at least a hundred times bigger. With her bare hands…

She jumped back down to the Invincible Sect which was being illuminated by the Heavenly Beam. With one kick, the entire sect flew up into the Upper World.

She really kicked it. Just once.

By the time Bitao had regained his composure, the entire Invincible Sect was already standing atop the crushed Qing Tong Immortal Abode.

In his days in the immortal realm, he had come across countless immortals who had ascended into immortality. It was not impossible to help someone else ascend – one only had to endure the Lightning Tribulation twice. Many people did this. There were some who helped their Dao partner ascend, others who helped their children ascend, some who helped their benefactors ascend and still others who helped their friends ascend…

But this was the first time he saw an entire sect ascend together!

And not just the people ascended – the land ascended as well!

Bitao’s entire worldview was put to the test…

He must have been dreaming. That must be it. These weird things happen in dreams all the time.

As compared to bringing an entire land up to the immortal realm, quashing hundreds of immortals in the span of a few minutes looked normal. As for the Stygian Immortal Xun Li… He was the first to fall to his knees.

-_-|||

Shen Ying was so powerful that she made all of this look like a simple game. Bitao reckoned that an Immortal Emperor would find it difficult to compete with Shen Ying, let alone a mere Stygian Immortal like Xun Li. At least from what Bitao knew, even Immortal Emperors were not strong enough to break open the realm gate. Unless…

He turned around as if suddenly recalling something. Then, he slammed both of his hands on a table. “Exalted Immortal!”

“Huh?” Shen Ying jumped and looked down at his hands, frowning.

“Are you… of a divine race?” He could think of no other race that could beat immortals this easily.

“Are you crazy?” The corners of Shen Ying’s mouth twitched. She pointed her chopsticks toward him and clapped them together. “My food!”

Bitao paused. He looked down and realised that his lands had landed on two plates. The food on the plates were now smashed under his palms.

“Master, shall I take care of this disrespectful man?” Yi Qing drew his sword.

“Wait… I didn’t do it on purpose!” Bitao’s face went pale immediately. He quickly retreated. “I’ll pay with immortal stones!” He immediately took out a bag from inside his robe.

Shen Ying nodded and Yi Qing kept his sword. Hm, Father Niu will have enough capital to get started in the Immortal Realm.

“Exalted Immortal, are you really not of a divine race?” Bitao refused to give up as he scanned Shen Ying from head to toe.

That can’t be right. He had heard the steward say that a hundred thousand years ago, a divine race had mistakenly come to the Azure World. That coward Xun Li was so afraid that the divine being would find out the truth about the Azure World, so in addition to stopping people in the Lower Realm from entering the Immortal Realm, he also forbade anyone in the Immortal Realm from entering the Lower Realm. He also pushed the Day of Re-Harvest back by several thousand years. He only re-instated it after he was sure that the divine being left the Azure World.

Bitao thought that the divine being had not left after all, and that Exalted Immortal Shen Ying was that divine being!

He was getting more and more confused.

Lonemoon, who had finally regained consciousness after a long time, was equally confused. He woke up to feel the thick Immortal Qi around him. Obviously, he had already ascended to the Immortal Realm.

But… this familiar room… and the faces of the disciples walking past him and greeting him. What the hell is going on?

Wasn’t he supposed to be the first person in Invincible Sect to ascend to immortality? He thought he ascended even before that cheat and chef. How was that the entire sect was now in the Immortal Realm?

Motherf*cker, return my sense of superiority!
