Chapter 6

Leaving the Hidden Immortal Abode, the parrot didn’t take long to fly to the forbidden area.

"Dahei, Laoman, the master has found a place to stay. I’m here to call you over!"

In Su Yin’s eyes, this parrot, which only knew how to mimic, now spoke and thought as clearly as a normal person.

"The people outside, they often whip me and make me grind grain. I’m scared..."

A slightly trembling voice sounded, the black donkey stood on its hind legs, its front hooves covering its mouth, full of worry.

It could speak too!

"There’s nothing to be afraid of. We are now beasts, right!"

The turtle on the side slowly said.

Each word was spoken very slowly, it took a full three minutes to finish a sentence.

"You’d better not speak. I’m getting anxious listening to you!"

Interrupting it, the parrot said, "We three, used to be ordinary animals. We listened to the master play the zither, watched him paint, and ate the food he planted, which opened our minds. Although our strength grows stronger every day, it doesn’t mean we are powerful. There are still many strong beings outside! After we go out, as long as we stay low-key by the master’s side, don’t speak, don’t stand out, and don’t encounter life-threatening situations, we should continue to pretend to be ordinary animals... we should be safe."

"That’s the only way..."

The donkey nodded quickly.

Being an ordinary donkey, he was often beaten, making him very timid. So, no matter what he did, he was always cautious and worried. However, even if it was dangerous outside, leaving the master... he couldn’t do it.

"Let’s go!" the parrot said.

The donkey and the turtle nodded.

Without the master here, there was no point in staying.

"Laoman, can’t you go faster? At this pace, it will take us about three days to reach the master’s new place..."

Seeing the turtle move slowly, taking several minutes to cover a meter, the parrot squawked.

"A few days ago, I watched the master chop wood and gained some insight. If I use it, I can go faster!"

With an awkward smile, the turtle’s body trembled, and its already large body expanded to over ten meters in diameter: "Get on..."

The donkey and the parrot climbed on.

Just as they stood steady, they felt a huge inertia and almost fell off.

After stabilizing themselves, the parrot and the donkey realized they had already left the forbidden area and flown a great distance.

"This... is faster?" the parrot and the donkey were speechless.

Not just a little, it was way too fast!

In just a few breaths, they had flown several dozen miles... this speed should be comparable to some weak cultivators!

"First time using it, not used to it yet!"

Looking at their position, the turtle was also stunned, and an awkward voice sounded.

"What insight did you gain?" the parrot asked curiously.

"Lightning!" the turtle said.

The parrot and the donkey rolled their eyes.

The so-called insight is the雏形 of the Great Dao. A turtle that does everything slowly actually gained insight into lightning... it’s hard to believe.

"Be careful, don’t show it to the master..." the donkey said with concern.

"Don’t worry!" the turtle nodded.

In the master’s eyes, they are just ordinary animals. If they act too out of the ordinary, what if they are rejected?

He wasn’t that foolish.

"That’s good, slow down and go back!"

The turtle nodded and slowed down tenfold, flying back toward the Hidden Immortal Abode.

...

After the three "ordinary animals" left, the many residual thoughts under the tombstone reappeared.

"These three, watching Su Yin paint and listening to him play the zither, eating the food he planted, and even gaining some of the rewards for reaching the Saint level... they have already transformed and are no longer ordinary!"

"Especially the donkey, who came the earliest, ate the most, and whose strength is not inferior to that of an immortal beast!"

"The funny thing is, although they have completely transformed, they are still unaware and think they are just ordinary animals, completely unaware of their own power!"

"From the time they gained intelligence to now, they have never gone out, so it’s normal for them to be unaware!"

"Not just them, the calligraphy and paintings Su Yin wrote when he reached the Saint level, the furniture and tools he made, and even the flowers and plants he planted, are all extraordinary!"

"This boy is also unaware, thinking he only learned ordinary skills... an abnormal boy, with three abnormal pets, and countless abnormal things... who knows what kind of commotion it will cause!"

"Don’t worry, it will definitely be fun!"

"Perhaps it can ignite the heavens, break the shackles here, and avenge us!"

"The Immortal Tomb should end..."

The thoughts flickered and quickly disappeared.

...

Zhenxian Sect, Martial Practice Hall.

Clang, clang, clang!

The sound of weapons clashing rang out. Two disciples in white robes were sparring.

The sect leader, the grand elder, and other immortals had fallen, causing a shake-up in the upper echelons. As ordinary disciples, they were not greatly affected and continued to practice and spar as usual.

Huff!

The disciple on the left pressed his long sword down, and the slightly thin youth on the right took several steps back, his back hitting the wall.

"Junior Brother Liu Yi, are you so weak that you didn’t eat?"

"With this level of strength, you want to learn sword techniques and become a sword cultivator? Dream on!"

"Come back after you’ve eaten!"

...

A wave of mocking voices came from around, the thin youth clenched his fists, his face turning an unhealthy pale.

His name was Liu Yi, an ordinary disciple of Zhenxian Sect. He had been in the sect for three years and had always worked hard, but unfortunately, his talent was limited. He was only at the third level of Gathering Breath, and his sword skills were a mess, ranking among the worst of all the disciples.

If he hadn’t worked hard, it would be one thing, but he had worked harder than anyone else, practicing diligently, yet his cultivation didn’t improve much.

"I lost..."

His voice was dry, his eyes full of disappointment as he turned and walked out.

Among his peers, he had the lowest cultivation and was often mocked, which he had long become accustomed to.

Leaving the Martial Practice Hall, the joints of his hand gripping the long sword gradually turned white.

"Three years... no improvement at all. If it continues like this, when will I be able to avenge my father and brother?"

His eyes were red.

His name wasn’t Liu Yi, but Liu Yiyi, a girl!

Three years ago, her family suffered a great change and was completely wiped out in one night.

To avenge her family, she changed her name to Liu Yi, disguised as a man, and entered Zhenxian Sect to learn cultivation techniques, hoping to one day stand out and gain the ability to avenge her family...

Unfortunately, her talent was really too poor!

At the current rate of progress, it would take a hundred years to reach the Dust Transcending stage, while her enemies were at least at the Mortal Transformation stage, some even at the Divine Palace stage!

For three years, she had tried various methods, practicing day and night, but with little effect.

Could it be... that heaven doesn’t want her to avenge her family?

Is she only meant to be an ordinary person?

How frustrating!

Her hand gripping the sword handle bled, her teeth nearly shattered.

"Fine, if I can’t avenge my family, I’ll go to the underworld to see my father and tell him that his daughter is unfilial..."

In an instant, Liu Yiyi was filled with despair.

An adult’s collapse often happens in an instant.

Now, she felt she couldn’t go on any longer.

Biting her lip, she drew her long sword, ready to commit suicide, when she realized she had wandered aimlessly and was now deep in the mountains.

The dense vegetation and tall trees completely blocked the sun, and an old, quiet courtyard slowly came into view.

Above the door frame, the three large characters “Yin Xian Ju” were powerful and elegant, like a long sword piercing the sky, filled with sword intent, as if it could tear apart the heavens.

"This..."

Her pupils contracted, and her body trembled.

The three characters before her seemed to harmonize with the Great Dao, not only profound but also giving a sense of sword qi piercing the sky.

"It must have been written by a senior proficient in sword techniques..."

Her eyes were red.

Zhenxian Sect actually hid such a powerful person. If she could become his disciple, she would surely make rapid progress, and avenging her family would be no problem!

Thinking of this, she couldn’t resist and stepped toward the courtyard.

Although she didn’t know the senior’s character, and visiting him might bring disaster... she had no other way out now.
