Transcending the Nine Heavens

“No, Elder Bu,” Chen Mengchi bowed, knowing that there was no turning back, and had no choice but to bravely say, “I will accept any punishment!”

The professional from the Chen clan who had spoken out of turn was dumbstruck.

He would not have even dreamt that the person whom he had scolded, was someone whose terrifying existence was feared by everyone in the Chen clan. When he saw his second grandmaster already bowing before the person, he knew that it would be useless to even apologize. He was stunned!

It’s over, it’s really over now!

He stood there mindlessly, feeling as though the world was slipping away from him. Even the thought of going forward to kowtow and beg for forgiveness was gone.

Because he knew that it would be useless!

Judging by the current situation, even the words of the Dharma Supreme could not save him. Not to mention… what was his status? Why would the Dharma Supreme offend Bu Liuqing because of him?

It would be good enough for the entire Chen Clan to not be dragged into the mud.

Bu Liuqing looked indefinitely at Chen Mengchi, and scoffed, “Chen Mengchi, you think if you retreat for the sake of advancing by letting me punish you, I won’t bear to do it?”

Beads of perspiration were forming on Chen Mengchi’s forehead as he bowed even lower. “I wouldn’t dare~!”

“To have brought up such a descendant, I suppose the Chen Clan is pretty much good for nothing… To spare all of you would be…” Bu Liuqing’s tone grew more and more intimidating.

The Dharma Supreme knew that the moment Bu Liuqing finished his sentence, the Chen Clan would really be done for.

Even if it was just for the sake of his own pride as a master at his peak, he would not take back his words. He had set to destroy the Chen Clan!

He immediately interrupted, “Brother Bu, look, let’s not bring the entire Chen Clan into the matter. It’s just him who spoke without thinking. I will take it out on him for you myself!”

Then, before Bu Liuqing could say anything, the Dharma Supreme stretched out his left hand and grabbed the person over through the air. As the person was moved, he shrank smaller and smaller and eventually became a midget less than three inches tall. Caught within Bu Liuqing’s hand, the person exploded with a boom into a spread of crimson red smog, disappearing into thin air.

If Chen Mengchi had personally dealt with the person for this matter, he would not have been able to appease Bu Liuqing. In fact, he could have made things worse.

Hence, Chen Mengchi never intended to take the matter into his own hands.

But the Dharma Supreme coming to settle the problem was really a great show of respect towards Bu Liuqing. The Dharma Supreme did not have to intervene because he was of such high status.

Now that he was forced by Bu Liuqing to kill someone of his own under the eyes of all the people, regardless of how unwilling Bu Liuqing was, Bu Liuqing had to save him some face.

If having the Dharma Supreme “compromise and beg for forgiveness” was still not enough, it would only mean war.

With all the law-enforcement officers!

Bu Liuqing raised his eyebrows, and said with slight anger, “Who asked you to intervene in this? How quick you are with your actions!”

Knowing that Bu Liuqing had gotten over the incident, the Dharma Supreme laughed bitterly and said, “Brother Bu, if I hadn’t been quick, you would’ve had to deal with it personally. I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to handle that.”

Bu Liuqing rolled his eyes and said, “Am I that unreasonable?”

The Dharma Supreme and the Supreme Martial Artists heading the Nine Great Clans all laughed bitterly; Are you that unreasonable? It’s more like when were you ever reasonable?

The Dharma Supreme noticed that Chen Mengchi still had his body bowed, and said, “Brother Bu, why not allow Mengchi to get up? He is already so old and this is quite an unbearable sight.”

Bu Liuqing let out a cold chuckle. “I’m old myself, yet this is the first time in nine thousand years I’ve been scolded a dumbass!”

Mo Qingwu, who was standing aside, lifted her head and corrected with a perplexed face, “Teacher, you’re wrong on this one. This should be the nine hundred plus times this year you’re being scolded this…”

Signs of bafflement showed on Bu Liuqing and yet he could not get mad. With a long face, he said, “My dear Little Wu, all those are not counted.”

People around broke out in cold sweat and even the Dharma Supreme was somewhat speechless. Who dared to call Bu Liuqing a dumbass nine hundred over times in a year?

Bu Liuqing said, “Since the Dharma Supreme has already said so, why don’t you get up? Even the mighty Dharma Supreme has spoken for you, if I still don’t allow you to get up, won’t I be embarrassing him?”

Upon hearing these words, Chen Mengchi became even more afraid of getting up.

The Dharma Supreme’s face changed slightly, eyes lit up while he said, “Brother Bu… Never thought that I still had dignity over here. Haha.”

Bu Liuqing scoffed and really wanted to say: you have the dignity of a bird’s!

But he remembered that his disciples were still present and he had to maintain his image as a teacher, so he had no choice but to leave him some face…

So he said with a forced smile, “Yes! Yes!”

The Dharma Supreme roared in laughter and said heartily, “Mengchi, apologize to Supreme Martial Artist Bu and let this matter come to an end. Haha, if Supreme Martial Artist Bu still feels unsettled about this, I’ll seek him out for a cup of tea every day.”

The Dharma Supreme’s words carried threats in them and yet these threats contained the intention of getting close to Bu Liuqing. Not only did it preserve his own dignity, but it also earned the mercy of Bu Liuqing and then purposefully brought the two of them even closer.

The words were spectacularly decently spoken.

Chen Mengchi then heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Thank you Supreme Martial Artist Bu for your benevolence! Thank you Dharma Supreme!”

Bu Liuqing scoffed and paid no attention to him.

He was known to be a proud and apathetic person, wielding a sword and conquering the world for numerous years as a single man. Now, having the same disciple as Ning Tianya was like wearing a pair of pants – there was nothing to worry about.

The Dharma Supreme smiled at Mo Qingwu and complimented, “What a lovely girl! Brother Bu, is she your disciple?”

Bu Liuqing scoffed. Finally, there was a tinge of softness surfacing on his face but he replied in a weird and refrained manner, “Little Wu, do you know who this person with a head of healthy hair is? Let me introduce him to you, lest you offend others when you venture into the world and get yourself into trouble… Yes, this is the current Dharma Supreme, someone whom even I cannot offend and whose words I have to obey. Go forward and show your respects and greet him as Uncle.”

He paused for a while, before adding in yet another weird tone, “If you see him in the future, never call him a dumbass. We can’t afford to get on the bad side of this person.”

The Dharma Supreme did not know whether to laugh or cry at the sentence, shaking his head. “Brother Bu, mind you… You must be out to utterly embarrass me…”

Chen Mengchi, who was standing at the side, broke out in cold sweat yet again.

The rest of the Nine Super Clans stared at Mo Qingwu, memorizing this young yet angel-like face.

Bu Liuqing’s disciple!

Judging from Bu Liuqing’s expressions, it was obvious that she was already the apple of his eye; he doted on her to the core; if anybody from the clan was too ignorant and offended this little princess…

Yes, Chen Mengchi served as a warning!

And should there be a second time, the consequence would be even worse than Chen Mengchi!

“Hehe, she is indeed a graceful and divine lady with such lovable looks… hmm?” The Dharma Supreme glanced at Mo Qingwu, showering her with compliments. Suddenly, he stopped as if he choked on something.

His two eyes scanned through Mo Qingwu, his gaze becoming more intense. He went out of mind all of a sudden, as though he had found a rare treasure.

Finally, he looked up in astonishment. “Brother Bu! This…”

Bu Liuqing held his head high proudly, and asked calmly, “What about this?”

With glowing eyes, the Dharma Supreme looked at Mo Qingwu, and finally sighed. “Brother Bu, the attributes of your little discipline is indeed rather uncommon.”

Bu Liuqing said in a composed manner, “Nothing much, it is just her heavenly Yin body and innate spiritual meridians. It’s normal haha! Although her attributes are good, hard work is still crucial.”

Upon hearing this, the Nine Super Clans instantly became excited.

Heavenly Yin body, innate spiritual meridians!

Could the mysterious being from the legends who automatically obtained the spiritual power of heaven and earth without cultivation be this girl in front of them?

Eyes started gathering at Mo Qingwu. For hours, there were dozens of eyes shining like flashlights, focusing on Mo Qingwu herself, followed by gasps of astonishment.

Everyone’s expression grew more fervent! Especially their eyes, they were blazing as though they wanted to engulf Mo Qingwu alive.

Indeed!

It was indeed!

Mo Qingwu had only stood there for a while and the spiritual power had already gathered, like they were forming a thin mist around her.

Heavenly Yin body, innate spiritual meridians!

Recalling how Bu Liuqing said ‘Nothing much, it’s just a heavenly Yin body and innate spiritual meridians,’ everyone could not help but feel like punching that smug face of him!

At that moment, the bitterness and despise in their hearts actually overcame their fear for Bu Liuqing. Those feelings of envy that were hard to be described by words made the crowd’s emotions even more pent-up.

God damn it, they had not seen a bigger show-off than him.

He dared to say ‘It’s nothing much’? Nothing much… but one could see his grin stretching from ear to ear.

The crowd looked on with complex gazes and emotions. After the witness of the girl’s physique and the realisation that her teacher was Bu Liuqing, the crowd could already foresee that an earth-shattering character in the future was budding right under their nose.

As long as she grew up, the girl’s future would no doubt be more maleficent than Bu Liuqing.

Looking at everyone’s faces, Bu Liuqing instantly felt his frustrations leave his body, like he had tasted honey all of a sudden! Not to mention that sense of satisfaction~

Feels good!

Feels so good!

Just for this moment, it was all worth it! Even getting chastised by Ning Tianya was worth it!

Covetous? Envious? Jealous? Do you hate me? Muahaha, she is my disciple! There’s no use in being envious!

The Dharma Supreme took a breath, stepped forward and said with glowing eyes, “Brother Bu, how long have you had this disciple?”

Bu Liuqing replied pretentiously, “Oh, such trivial matter, I’ve already forgotten. Let me think.”

“My foot!” The crowd spits unanimously, not bothering to hide their disdain. Even Chen Mengchi, who had just suppressed a fit, was one of them.

So frustrating~

Anyone would remember the exact time they had taken in a disciple with such god-like attributes, and you need to think… How fake…
