Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

East State border, Tiger Crane Pass.

A cloudless expanse of ten thousand miles.

Tiger Crane Pass belongs to the Mortal Realm, but it also houses many powers; among them, three great families stand at the forefront.

The Dantai Family is one of these three major families.

At this moment, within an ancient courtyard of the Dantai residence,

a breathtakingly beautiful woman sat in front of a stone table, deep in thought over the chessboard before her.

She was dressed in white robes, pure as snow, her brows and eyes exuded nobility and a cold beauty, her lips slightly pursed, her entire presence brimming with solitude and chillness, standing as though she was a fairy untouched by the dust of the mundane world.

Dantai Luo Xue.

The number one genius of the Dantai Family!

Possessor of the Heavenly Spiritual Root.

Innate Insightful Eyes.

Her talent was so profound that she was considered outstanding among the young generation in the East State.

However, Dantai Luo Xue had an odd personality and was unwilling to join any Sect; she preferred living at home.

Now at the age of twenty-nine, she remained a mortal with no cultivation levels.

Snap!

Dantai Luo Xue sitting at the stone table lowered her gaze to the chessboard, her slender and fair fingers holding a white piece, snap, it landed crisply on the board.

Then, she picked up a black piece and placed it amidst the chessboard.

Across the board, the black and white pieces interlaced, the black pieces forming a formation, moving strategically, while the white pieces formed a dragon, decisive and lethal in attack.

Any chess master seeing this would find it unbelievable.

These completely contrasting styles of play were coming from the hands of a single person.

After placing the black and white pieces, Dantai Luo Xue was in no hurry, her beautiful eyes gazing contemplatively at the chessboard.

Creak...

Just then.

The courtyard gate was pushed open, and a figure walked in.

Dantai Luo Xue turned her head and saw that it was her father who had come in, and an involuntary gentle smile appeared on her perfect face.

With the Demonic Beast turmoil troubling the borders of East State, her father, as the head of the Dantai Family, naturally led a group to exterminate the beasts.

Now that he had returned, it was evident that the matter had been resolved.

"Father, you've returned?"

Dantai Luo Xue asked softly.

"Hmm, Xue'er, are you still playing chess? I don't mean to scold you, but with your strong talent, you should be concentrating on your cultivation. It's fine that you don't want to join any Sect, but you're not even willing to cultivate on your own. That makes no sense," the middle-aged man, and family head of the Dantai Family, sighed heavily as he watched his daughter play chess.

"Father, you don't understand,"

Dantai Luo Xue shook her head and replied with a smile.

"How do I not understand? With your talent, if you cultivated, by now you might have reached the Nascent Soul Realm. You, sigh..."

The Dantai Family Head, with his hands behind his back, heaved another sigh.

"What's the use of the Nascent Soul Realm, can it grant Ascension?"

There was an extraordinary brightness in Dantai Luo Xue's beautiful eyes, as if they could see through everything.

Dantai Family Head: "..."

What was the use of the Nascent Soul Realm?

He felt his daughter was mocking him.

He was merely at the Foundation Establishment Realm...

But thinking about it, if it came to this topic, he really wouldn't know what to say.

It's true that on the Divinity Continent, no one had Ascended for ten thousand years.

No matter how high their innate talents were, still no one could Ascend.

It was as if they were restricted.

The Dantai Family Head's lips parted, yet he still didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Dantai Luo Xue, sitting beside the stone table, just smiled and returned her gaze to the chessboard, her lips parting lightly.

"Father, there are no paths in this world until someone blazes the trail, and then a path exists. Generations of people have followed the roads paved by those before them, and this is right and reasonable."

"But now, if the path ahead is cut off and we still don't think of blazing a new trail but insist on following the broken road, knowing it leads to a cliff yet not stopping, that is foolishness."

"What I seek is to blaze another path beside the one that has ended."

"Father, do you possibly understand?"

Dantai Luo Xue said, her beautiful eyes shining with a dazzling light.

It was a light filled with a desire for recognition.

Dantai's Family Head listened to Dantai Luo Xue's words dumbfoundedly, his face full of confusion, almost uttering a bewildered 'aba'.

Watching this scene, Dantai Luo Xue smiled gently, having seemingly anticipated her father's reaction.

She continued to gaze down at the chessboard.

Yet her mind was in disarray.

She wanted to carve out another path.

But she had no clue where to start.

The teachings of the Cultivator Sects were of no use to her.

On the side, Dantai's Family Head, watching his daughter who was lost in thought, finally snapped back to reality.

He looked at his daughter, then again at the chessboard on the stone table.

"Xue'er, about all that you've said, your father... your father really doesn't understand,"

Dantai's Family Head said somewhat helplessly.

"If you understood, Father, you wouldn't be at just the Foundation Establishment Realm,"

Dantai Luo Xue ruthlessly said.

Dantai's Family Head: "..."

What's wrong with being at the Foundation Establishment Realm?

People at the Foundation Establishment Realm don't have rights, is that it?

People at the Foundation Establishment Realm are supposed to be mocked, right...

Dantai's Family Head felt depressed.

"Alright, Father, let's not talk about this, our Dantai family has just quelled the disturbance caused by the Demonic Beasts, there must have been quite a few casualties, right?"

Dantai Luo Xue casually asked.

"Not at all, the casualties were minimal this time. Mainly because those powerful Demonic Beasts were taken care of by an unknown powerhouse, so we just had to take care of the aftermath,"

Dantai's Family Head shook his head and said.

"An unknown powerhouse?"

Dantai Luo Xue's interest was piqued.

Seeing this, Dantai's Family Head started to tell Dantai Luo Xue about the specifics.

When Dantai Luo Xue heard that an unknown Array Master instantly set up a formation, and in one breath laid down dozens of Formations to annihilate all the powerful Demonic Beasts, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Father, you didn't misspeak? An Array Master laid down dozens of Formations in one go?"

"Instantly set up a Formation?"

Dantai Luo Xue asked repeatedly.

"Indeed, it was an instant setup, and he laid down dozens of Formations in one breath. Although I've never seen an Array Master like this, it truly happened,"

Dantai's Family Head confirmed emphatically.

Sitting at the stone table, Dantai Luo Xue's eyes narrowed, her face revealing a hint of joy.

She knew much more than Dantai's Family Head.

How could an Array Master lay down dozens of Formations in one go, not to mention instantly?

Could it be that someone had already realized the deadlock ahead and started to forge a new path?

To pave the way with Formations?

Did this not also indicate that her method of using chess as a pathway was feasible?

Dantai Luo Xue's thoughts suddenly multiplied.

However, having ideas was one thing.

She would need a lead before she could implement her own ideas…

But among the many Cultivator Sects of East State, not one could provide her with this lead…

Perhaps the fabled Hidden Sects of East State might.

But how could such Hidden Sects possibly take her in?

As Dantai Luo Xue was deep in thought,

a servant ran over from the courtyard outside.

Panting, he began to speak.

"Family Head! There are people outside wishing to visit the Family Head. They say they want to take the young lady as their disciple. Those two are Cultivators. Family Head, please advise on what to do..."
