321: Chapter 321 The True Colors of a Movie King, People's Imagination

"Please take the seat, Dao Master!"

Voices like a mountain tsunami, carrying an irresistible fervor, echoed throughout the Jade Tripod Sacred Land.

Su Changge was left lightheaded by the sheer force of this Aura.

He looked at that "dao masters throne," which was shimmering in the sunlight as if afraid people wouldn't know how awesome it was. In his heart, he had already cursed eighteen generations of Qin Xuan and his group's ancestors.

[What the hell are they doing! With such a grand display, are they afraid I won't die fast enough?]

[And a dao masters throne? Won't my butt catch fire if I sit on that?]

[No, I have to find a way to bluff my way through this.]

Su Changge's mind spun rapidly, yet his face remained as calm and indifferent as ever.

He didn't move immediately; instead, he shifted his gaze away from the throne and slowly let it fall upon Qin Xuan.

With just a single look, the originally ecstatic Qin Xuan felt as if he had plunged into an ice cellar. He shuddered, and his feverish mind instantly cooled down.

The Dao Master's gaze... seems a bit displeased?

Could it be... that we have overstepped our bounds?

That's it!

What kind of existence is the Dao Master? He views power like passing clouds and fame like dust!

For us to build a throne and a Dao Palace for him—in the Dao Master's eyes, such actions are likely no different from the pleasures of a mortal emperor. It's practically an insult to the Great Dao!

Thinking of this, Qin Xuan fell to his knees in the Void Realm with a thud, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

"Dao Master, please forgive me! It... it was Qin Xuan's stupidity to perform such mundane tasks and offend your eyes!"

Seeing this, the Elders and Disciples behind him were also scared into silence. They all kowtowed, not even daring to breathe loudly.

[Eh?]

Su Changge was stunned for a moment by Qin Xuan's sudden reaction.

[What did this guy imagine this time? But... it seems to have worked well?]

His heart stirred, and he decided to play along, speaking in a flat tone: "False fame is but a bubble to me."

"Remove such external things."

His voice wasn't loud, yet it carried an unquestionable authority.

Hearing this, Qin Xuan and the others felt even more ashamed, and their admiration for Su Changge reached a new level.

Look at that!

What breadth of mind! What a Realm!

We are still feeling smug about the expansion of the Holy Land and the Dao Master's prestige, yet the Dao Master has long since transcended all of this!

"Yes! Your Disciple obeys!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Xuan was about to order the removal of the throne and the Dao Palace.

However, Su Changge spoke again.

"Forget it."

He gave a soft sigh, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness, as if he were being indulgent toward a group of ignorant children.

"I have acknowledged your intentions."

"Since it's already built, let it stay."

[It would be such a waste to tear it down! This is all star essence iron! How much would it be worth if I sold it!]

Su Changge's heart was bleeding, but his face wore a magnanimous expression of "since you've already done it, so be it."

At this, Qin Xuan and the others were moved to tears.

"The Dao Master is merciful!"

"The Dao Master is truly too considerate of us!"

They felt that the Dao Master had clearly accepted these "mundane things" only because he was afraid of dampening their enthusiasm.

"Alright, everyone rise."

Su Changge waved his hand, and then his figure flickered. He didn't fly toward the magnificent Dao Palace but instead landed directly on an inconspicuous mountain peak in a corner of the Holy Land.

That was precisely the small wooden hut where he had first lived when he underwent Transmigration.

Although the surroundings had been built up with various ornate halls, this small wooden hut had been perfectly preserved. It had even been placed under multiple Restrictions and kept spotless.

Seeing this, everyone was once again shocked by Su Changge's actions.

He left the glorious Dao Palace empty and chose his most simple former residence instead.

Is this not the supreme Realm of 'Return to Simplicity' and the Dao returning to its origin?!

For a moment, the gazes of all the Disciples toward that small wooden hut were filled with pilgrimage-like devotion.

Su Changge didn't care what they thought; he just wanted to find a place to lie down quickly.

He pushed open the door of the wooden hut and walked inside.

Zhao Tian, Qin Xuan, and the others didn't dare follow him in, only daring to stand guard outside respectfully.

The two captives, Dao Monarch Yun Xing and Blood Bone Old Demon, were arranged to be at the foot of the mountain, kneeling like two door gods. Anyone who wanted to go up the mountain had to pass them first.

This arrangement caused all the visiting Cultivators to gasp in shock.

Having two former Tribulation Transcendence Stage old demons as gatekeepers?

The Dao Master's prestige was truly beyond limits!

Su Changge sat cross-legged in the wooden hut. His Divine Sense swept through his Great Dao Scripture Pavilion as he began to take stock of the "inheritance" from his trip to the Shattered Star Ancient Ruins.

The Shattering Star Art Incomplete Manual, a stone slab recorded with ancient secrets, and a pile of Storage Rings scavenged from Dao Monarch Yun Xing and Blood Bone Old Demon.

[These things are of no use to me.]

Su Changge curled his lip.

For Cultivation Techniques, he had top-tier goods from the System. He couldn't use Magic Treasures, so keeping them was just taking up space.

[I need to find a chance to get rid of them. They can be used as rewards for subordinates to win people over.]

He had a plan in mind.

He pushed open the door and walked out.

Qin Xuan and Zhao Tian, who were waiting outside, immediately bowed.

"What are the Dao Master's orders?"

Su Changge's gaze swept across the Jade Tripod Sacred Land Disciples standing respectfully in the plaza outside.

Suddenly, his gaze stopped on a young Disciple in a corner.

The Disciple was about sixteen or seventeen years old. His cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, making him quite inconspicuous among the Inner Sect Disciples, who were generally at the Golden Core or Nascent Soul stages.

He wore the most common servant's attire, yet his face held a determination that didn't match his age.

Most importantly, Su Changge could feel a faint but extremely pure star power circulating within him.

[It's you, lucky young man.]

Su Changge smiled inwardly and pointed toward that Disciple from afar.

"You, come here."

The Disciple's whole body shook, completely unable to believe his ears.

The surrounding Disciples also cast surprised and envious glances.

Out of tens of thousands of Disciples, he was actually personally called out by the Dao Master!

What kind of heaven-sent Opportunity was this?!

The Disciple stood stunned for a long while before being pushed by those next to him. He scrambled over and knelt before Su Changge with a thud, unable even to speak clearly.

"Dis... Disciple Li Xingchen, greets... greets the Dao Master!"

"Li Xingchen?" Hearing the name, the corner of Su Changge's mouth curled slightly. [Good fellow, with 'Star' in your name, who else would I pass this to but you.]

He didn't waste words and flicked his finger. An ancient Jade Slip shimmering with starlight flew lightly in front of Li Xingchen.

It was precisely that Shattering Star Art Incomplete Manual that could drive the entire Lingxu Wasteland and even the Qingming Domain crazy!

"This technique is acceptable, though its grade is a bit low. However, it's sufficient to serve as a foundation for your cultivation."

Su Changge spoke in a casual tone, as if he were throwing away trash.

"Take it and Cultivate well. Do not tarnish my reputation."

Boom!

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire place fell into a dead silence!

Everyone stood there as if struck by Nine Heavens divine lightning!

Qin Xuan and Zhao Tian's eyes nearly popped out of their heads!

The Shattering Star Art!

That was the supreme technique the Ancient War God relied on to make his name! It was a treasure that even a Tribulation Crossing old demon like Dao Monarch Yun Xing had spent a hundred thousand years trying to obtain!

And now...

The Dao Master actually said its "grade was a bit low"?

He even said it was just to "serve as a foundation"?

What kind of vision was this? What kind of spirit?!

In the Dao Master's eyes, such a divine technique was actually only fit for a Foundation Establishment Disciple to build a foundation?

Then... then what kind of earth-shattering supreme Dao scripture must the Dao Master himself be practicing?!

At this moment, everyone's minds went completely blank.

As for the Disciple named Li Xingchen, his whole body trembled violently. He held the Jade Slip as if he were holding the entire world, nearly fainting on the spot from excitement!

Looking at Su Changge's back, his eyes erupted with a fervor and worship that could burn everything!

Right at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

An extremely brilliant Immortal Light, as if tearing through infinite space and piercing the Dao Domain barriers, suddenly flew in from beyond the heavens, carrying a vast and majestic Aura!

The target of this Immortal Light was none other than the Jade Tripod Sacred Land!

"What is that?!"

Qin Xuan looked up in horror, feeling the terrifying pressure contained within that Immortal Light, his heart and mind shaking.

This power had already far exceeded the scope of the Mahayana Stage!

Could it be... that another powerful enemy is invading?
