Master’s Plan to Revitalize the Demon Sect with Beautiful Girls - Chapter 27
Chapter 27: My Master Can’t Be That Depressed
Youlan sat on the head of the soaring serpent, gazing in shock at the scenery in mid-air.
The soaring serpent’s body would always be surrounded by thick fog, but now in the high sky, she couldn’t tell if it was the serpent’s fog or the sea of clouds.
As a mortal before, she never thought she could one day roam the sea of clouds.
When the strong wind came, it was immediately blocked by the serpent’s fog, and only a comfortable breeze blew towards Youlan.
The scent carried by the high-altitude wind was slightly different from that on the ground, something Youlan couldn’t describe with her own words.
She found everything so novel now, her initial fear completely gone, and at this moment, she even dared to stand up and spread her arms.
Looking down, the entire landscape had shrunk, even the mountains she had to look up to now seemed like a handful of sand in her hand.
Although the soaring serpent’s speed in the air didn’t seem fast, each of its movements could easily cross vast landscapes.
“Master, is this what cultivation is?” Youlan suddenly asked, her voice filled with undisguised excitement.
Her mindset was undergoing a subtle change, but she didn’t know exactly what had changed, yet she didn’t dislike this feeling of sudden enlightenment.
“Youlan, this is not cultivation, it’s practice,” He Youzhou said leisurely, with his sleeves folded.
Immortals do not exist, and the so-called ultimate goal of practice does not exist either.
Therefore, there is no such thing as cultivation in this world, it’s just that everyone desires to become what they imagine, so they call it cultivation.
At the peak of practice, one can only “claim” to be cultivating.
“Yes, practice,” Youlan murmured.
“Alright, Youlan, don’t stand,” He Youzhou pulled Youlan down to sit, saying, “This little guy is about to land.”
“Mm…” Youlan instinctively responded after sitting down, still not fully recovered from her earlier amazement.
If her previous practice was entirely to suppress her bloodthirsty condition, now she had a vague, unclear sentiment towards practice.
It was neither for longevity nor for strength, but for something else.
As the soaring serpent slowly descended, she played with her hair tousled by the breeze, a charming smile on her lips.
“Happy?” He Youzhou, with his back to Youlan, asked slowly.
“Happy, I realized I can also have such innocent moments,” Youlan laughed softly, covering her face.
He Youzhou said, “That’s good, keep a bit of childlike innocence, it won’t make you look too old while practicing.”
Many uncles and elders in the Tianyan Sect, because of their constant frowning, not only failed to maintain their youth but also ended up looking like old men.
Although they still had a bit of an immortal aura, He Youzhou really didn’t want to look that old.
“Senior sister, why do you practice?” Youlan asked curiously.
“For Master,” Zhishi replied expressionlessly.
“Of course, that’s the answer~” Youlan giggled, Zhishi’s answer didn’t surprise her at all.
Her senior sister’s mind was full of their master, she really couldn’t understand what reason could make her so devoted to their master.
However, this is probably just her senior sister’s characteristic.
After asking her senior sister, Youlan playfully asked her master, “What about you, Master? Your disciple really wants to know why you practice cultivation.”
Youlan deliberately used a very seductive tone, which made Zhishi roll her eyes.
If it weren’t for the fact that Youlan had helped her once, Zhishi would have already gone over to beat her up.
“I don’t know, so I don’t practice much now,” He Youzhou said righteously, as if he didn’t intend to set a good example for his disciples at all.
A long time ago, he thought that after enough cultivation, he could live freely. Later, he cultivated because he felt he had to go against the will of the heavens. Then, he thought that having enough cultivation to protect his life was good enough.
Now, he doesn’t know anymore.
As he got older, cultivation seemed like a troublesome thing.
He didn’t understand why cultivators of his age could still have such strong motivation to practice.
“Mm, we’ve arrived at White City,” He Youzhou said, lifting one eyelid.
Zhishi and Youlan also looked down in unison. The towering white city walls were the best beacon.
From high above, the entire scenery of White City was in full view.
Even Youlan, who had lived in White City for a long time, couldn’t help but marvel at this sight.
She had always understood that White City was a very prosperous city, but looking down from above, she had a new understanding of this prosperity.
In the morning, people walked on every alley and every street of White City.
If she were among them, Youlan would simply think there were many people.
From noble mtl dot com
But looking down, she felt that the streets and alleys of White City were like blood vessels, and the people walking in them were the indispensable blood.
The vitality of White City came from its countless citizens.
“Master, are we going directly into White City?” Zhishi gently stroked the smooth head of the Teng Snake and asked.
The Teng Snake coiled in the air not far from White City, surrounded by clouds and mist.
If you didn’t get very close, you wouldn’t even be able to catch its silhouette, thinking you were just seeing thick clouds.
“No, we’ll get off here,” He Youzhou said, shaking his head.
He could guarantee that if he said to go directly in, Zhishi would have the Teng Snake dive straight into White City, making a grand entrance.
However, since the rookie competition hadn’t started yet and nothing significant was happening inside, such an entrance would be pointless.
“Okay,” Zhishi obediently retracted the Teng Snake.
The clouds were quietly blown away by a gust of wind, and the terrifying figure of the Teng Snake disappeared along with the mist.
When it appeared, it was accompanied by thick fog, and naturally, it would leave with the fog.
Huge, yet ethereal, this contradictory feeling was perfectly embodied in the Teng Snake.
After the Teng Snake left, the three of them lightly landed on the ground.
“Unless something unexpected happens, the rookie competition registration will be tomorrow, and the official start will be the day after tomorrow,” He Youzhou was very clear about the details of this competition.
After all, this concerned the entire Tianyan Sect’s finances.
The spirit stones that could be earned from the rookie competition were a number that he and Zhishi couldn’t earn even if they hunted countless monsters.
It had to be said, a sect that hadn’t declined was indeed wealthy, and He Youzhou was very envious.
Unfortunately, the Tianyan Sect he inherited was a sect that couldn’t be more fallen, and he might never experience the joy of freely scattering spirit stones in his lifetime.
He took a deep breath, “Youlan! We need to get good results!”
“Disciple obeys.” Youlan bowed slightly and said with a smile.
