I alone am the Invincible One!-Chapter 46: Great Changes

"You."

Li Meng’er was left speechless. She had indeed been in the wrong earlier, but she was still a girl, so how could he be so unsympathetic?

Li Meng’er looked at Wang Yufan, steeled herself, and removed her mask in a direction only Wang Yufan could see.

As the ghost-faced mask moved, Wang Yufan saw another face with skin like jade, a slightly upturned nose, and cherry lips.

Wang Yufan finally understood why this woman wore a mask.

Although he had the ability to see through masks, he disdained to pry into others’ privacy in such a way.

After seeing Wang Yufan look at her face, she immediately put it back on.

Not far away, Xu Changqing stood on tiptoes, leaning sideways to look. However, he saw nothing.

"How about it? You’ve seen my face. Can you let me not be a registered disciple?" Li Meng’er said to Wang Yufan.

Wang Yufan shook his head indifferently.

"Either you become a registered disciple, or you go back where you came from. I have my own choices when taking disciples, and in this life, I cannot take more than nine disciples."

"No matter what your logic is, I believe I will definitely become a formal disciple."

Wang Yufan shook his head and said nothing more, while Li Meng’er and Xu Changqing continued their journey towards Eastern Spirit State, one after the other.

"Hey, kid, why are you two coming to Eastern Spirit State? There’s nothing here, and the sect leader of the strongest sect here isn’t even as strong as me."

Li Meng’er, from beneath her mask, said to Xu Changqing, who was walking ahead.

Xu Changqing couldn’t stand Li Meng’er’s nonstop chatter, and finally gave a perfunctory reply. The general reason was that because of him, his master came here.

"That’s not right. I feel like the direction we’re heading isn’t right. This direction has the Heaven Burial Secret Realm and the Sacred Beast Secret Realm, two of the barren lands’s five great forbidden lands. Are you sure you haven’t taken the wrong direction?"

Listening to Li Meng’er, Xu Changqing also felt a drum beating in his heart. Was this path really that dangerous?

No wonder he always felt a chill down his spine earlier, as if someone was speaking ill of him. Thinking of this, he instantly forgot his previous conflict with Li Meng’er, and immediately said to Li Meng’er.

"I don’t understand or know any of what you’re saying. Master told me to walk in this direction. I listen to master; anyway, with master here, I’m not afraid." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Listening to Xu Changqing, Li Meng’er felt a twist in her heart. His master was still only a registered one. She admitted that her new master was powerful, but compared to those in the secret realm, she always felt he was a little lacking.

Just as she continued to ponder, Xu Changqing’s voice came over.

"Uh, did you just acknowledge my master as your master?"

Li Meng’er didn’t immediately react to what Xu Changqing wanted, so she replied, "Yes."

"Then you’ll have to call me Senior Brother from now on." An invisible sense of pride immediately rose in Xu Changqing’s heart.

"Senior Brother, huh." Li Meng’er said to Xu Changqing with a fake smile, showing no dissatisfaction in her eyes or on her face.

But when Xu Changqing nodded, Li Meng’er swung her small fist directly forward, landing a punch on Xu Changqing’s face.

Xu Changqing cried out in pain.

"It’s true. If you didn’t want to call me that, you should have just said so. Why hit me? By the way, what exactly is the situation with the Heaven Burial Secret Realm and the Sacred Beast Secret Realm? Why are even you so wary of them?"

Li Meng’er glanced at Xu Changqing.

"With your cultivation level, you’d probably be instantly killed if you went in."

Hearing Li Meng’er’s words, Xu Changqing shivered. But what did this woman mean? Was he too weak?

Although he appeared to be only at the Nascent Soul Realm, his physical body could withstand attacks from the early stage of the Soul Transformation Realm.

Li Meng’er ignored Xu Changqing and slowly retreated to Wang Yufan’s side.

Although Wang Yufan was walking at this moment, his eyes were closed, and soft snores emanated from his mouth.

Li Meng’er found it unbelievable.

This wasn’t human, was it? Could it be that the cheap master she had just taken on was a monster in disguise? Were his body and head not connected, each going their own way?

Li Meng’er pondered in her heart, then walked back to Xu Changqing to ask about their master.

However, Xu Changqing stated that he didn’t know much either.

Meanwhile, in the upper domain’s Myriad Saints Palace.

"Reporting to the Palace Master, we have lost track of that person."

A disciple in a green robe reported to Wei Wudi.

"Explain in detail."

"Reporting to the Palace Master, our Palace’s Dao Integration Realm Outer Sect elder mysteriously disappeared in a mountain stream in the Eastern Spirit State of the barren lands. When we arrived, this scene appeared."

The green-robed disciple said, then threw a small stone engraved with runes into the sky.

In an instant, a huge image appeared directly before Wei Wudi’s eyes.

"What do you mean by showing me this? Isn’t this just a cliff? What does it have to do with that person?"

"Reporting to the Palace Master, this ravine and cliff were still a road leading to the Eastern Spirit State just a few days ago."

"Hmm?"

Wei Wudi was slightly surprised. He, at the Tribulation Realm, could also cause such a thing with his full power. And currently, the only one in the barren lands with such strength was that mysterious young man.

"I understand this matter. You may withdraw for now."

After the Myriad Saints Palace disciple left, Wei Wudi murmured.

"There is definitely something strange about this. I should tell the Old Ancestor about this first."

Then, Wei Wudi’s figure disappeared from the Myriad Saints Palace’s main hall.

A moment later, at the forbidden grounds of the Myriad Saints Palace.

"Old Ancestor, this is the situation. What should we do next?"

Wei Wudi spoke to an old man with white hair and beard, whose daoist robe was imbued with an invisible rule of the Great Dao. This person was precisely the Old Ancestor of the Myriad Saints Palace.

"We just need to observe the situation. You all must pay close attention to this matter. The Heavenly Desolate World will undergo a great change within one or two years. Before that, I must break through to the final Immortal Realm.

Also, those old fellows from the Supreme Sect, War God Hall, and Heaven Sword Sect, if my guess is correct, should also be close."

"Old Ancestor, are you saying they are also about to break through to the Immortal Realm?"

"Yes, the great change of the Heavenly Desolate World is approaching, and as for the Immortal Realm, in my memory, it was already a thousand years ago. When the great change arrives, the Heavenly Dao of the Heavenly Desolate World will produce a self-protection mechanism, allowing some of us to break through to the Immortal Realm to resolve the crisis.

As for the mysterious young man you mentioned, he is either a Half-Immortal or an Immortal Realm expert from outside the Heavenly Desolate World."

Hearing his Old Ancestor’s words, Wei Wudi was even more shocked.

"Wudi, we still need to pay attention to that person. Although we lost him, if my prediction is correct, he will eventually come to the upper domain. When that time comes, we just need to observe; there’s no need to tell other sects about him."

"Old Ancestor, this is?"

"You understand. I hope our Myriad Saints Palace can survive this, and that I can successfully reach the Immortal Realm."

After the Old Ancestor of the Myriad Saints Palace finished speaking, his figure flickered and disappeared. Wei Wudi, after the Old Ancestor left, looked towards the vast starry sky.

...

In the southern part of the upper domain, unlike the Myriad Saints Palace in the north, this place was filled with the fragrance of birds and flowers. Disciples on fifth and sixth-tier demonic beast flying mounts occasionally flew across the sky.

Above the towering peaks, a hundred-zhang square palace floated in the air. The entire palace was enveloped in clouds, as if it were in the Celestial Realm.

Three gilded characters shimmered with endless light directly above the palace, indicating the location of one of the upper domain’s four top sects, the "Supreme Sect."

At this moment, four people stood in the Supreme Sect’s Sovereign Hall. Three of them were Cheng Hai, Wu Liang, and Ling Shui, who had come from the Azure Spirit Sect.

Besides them, there was also a middle-aged man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, whose simple gray robe made him appear exceedingly unadorned.

The gray-robed middle-aged man asked.

"Are the three of you sure there’s not a single false word in what you just said?"

"Reporting to the Sect Master, every word we three have said is true. If you don’t believe us, you can personally confront the Palace Master of the Myriad Saints Palace."

Listening to their words, the gray-robed middle-aged man fell silent. Cheng Hai and the others did not continue speaking, because this gray-robed middle-aged man was precisely Qing Feng, the thirty-eighth generation Sect Master of the Supreme Sect.

"What the three of you have said is too significant. A young man with purple talent and another young man whose strength is likely above the Tribulation Realm."

When did such monstrous individuals appear in our Heavenly Desolate World? "You may withdraw for now; I will deliberate on this matter further."

After Cheng Hai and the others respectfully withdrew, an ancient painting appeared in Qing Feng’s hand. The painting depicted only a stone house. Qing Feng continuously formed hand seals, and an invisible force emanated from the ancient painting.

Even Qing Feng, who was at the Tribulation Realm, felt considerable pressure.

"Qing Feng, the thirty-eighth generation Sect Master of the Supreme Sect, has something to discuss with you."

After speaking, Qing Feng waited quietly. A voice filled with vicissitudes emanated from the ancient painting—or rather, from within the stone house depicted in the ancient painting.
