“I believe you both know about Ji and Ce, the Supremacy Masters of the world. However, do you know why they could become Supremacy of the world? How did they become even greater than the five Sky Kings? They were great opponents to each other for a lifetime. Neither of them could defeat the other, so they kept forcing each other to improve.

“They had to keep improving themselves to try to defeat each other! That was why they were the Supremacy of the world!

“The South Supremacy Master and the North Supreme Master were both powerful. If anyone of them was weaker, there wouldn’t be two Supreme Masters!

“I want an opponent like that. That’s the most important thing in my life!”

“Ye Xiao is the man.” Master Bai blandly said, “He managed to ascend to the Human Realm Upon Heavens in such a short time. I should give him the opportunity to improve. Why would I oppress him when he was so weak? It wouldn’t be fair, and it is not what I want.

“However, I won’t help him. If he rises with my support, he is no longer my opponent. He has to grow on his own. He must chase me. He must surpa.s.s me. That is the opponent I want.

“He didn’t let me down. In fact, he impressed me. I am lucky to have him as my opponent!”

Master Bai laughed gladly.

Wan’er and Xiu’er were both in shock.

Women always find it difficult to understand men’s thoughts. How did Ye Xiao become Master Bai’s most important opponent in life?

After a while, Wan’er said, “Master… Is there… Is there anybody else in the Human Realm Upon Heavens who can be your opponent?”

Master Bai stopped smiling. He didn’t say anything.

Xiu’er took a breath and said, “Master… Master Meng of the Hall of Returning Nature… The Brotherhood Alliance… The sons of the other Sky Kings… Lord Phoenix Eye of the Glaze Sky… Lord Yu of the South Sky… Lord Han… These people… They are…”

“They are what?” Master Bai raised his eyebrows and said, “They are only a bunch of young lords who depend on their powerful parents. Who are they to be my opponents? They don’t deserve it!”

Wan’er and Xiu’er were both speechless.

‘What is this? Is Meng Wuzhen the biggest enemy to us? Why would Master go to the lower realms for nearly ten thousand years? We were worried because Meng Wuzhen was rising, weren’t we? We are rising up fast, the House of Chaotic Storms… We always take the Hall of Returning Nature as our biggest threat. We never stopped fighting the Hall of Returning Nature… All the schemes… The battles…’

‘How come… How come the Hall of Returning Nature, Meng Wuzhen, isn’t our opponent now?’

“I know. I was wrong about Meng Wuzhen.” Master Bai said, “When Wuxie gave me the message, I was misled. I thought Meng Wuzhen got the Heavenly Mystery. If he did, he was the perfect opponent for me. I felt that I would lose the opportunity to compare him… It was just a feeling.”

“Isn’t that real?” Xiu’er said.

‘When we are back to the Human Realm Upon Heavens, Master has done a lot of searching, and it is confirmed Meng Wuzhen did obtain the Heavenly Mystery. Master told us about it… How come it changed?’

“Meng Wuzhen got something. It is the truth. Otherwise, he wouldn’t remove the restraint on himself. He did improve extremely fast.” Master Bai said.

“Well…” Wan’er and Xiu’er were lost.

“However, Meng Wuzhen has never been smarter than he used to be.” Master Bai blandly said, “The Heavenly Mystery is incredible. When it gets into the owner, it changes the owner’s mindset. A cautious man becomes even more cautious. A careless man becomes careful. It changes the man little by little.

“That is the power of the Heavenly Mystery.

“Even the owner wouldn’t notice the changes.

“The change is real. It sticks with the owner for a lifetime. He will be stronger and stronger day by day.”

“However, Meng Wuzhen… He got the Heavenly Mystery, but he didn’t change a bit.” Master Bai blandly said, “Maybe the changes are insignificant, so insignificant that I can’t notice them. However, if I can’t notice it, that is not any useful change.

“Meng Wuzhen is more powerful than before, but only in cultivation. He hasn’t improved fully.

“In other words, Meng Wuzhen is still the young and useless lord of the West Sky!” Master Bai said, “A man like that is never a threat to me. He is just stronger. Nothing more. I can easily get him killed by playing some simple schemes!

“I haven’t thought of killing him because the five Sky Kings made a promise. Besides, his existence is still pus.h.i.+ng me up a little. However, it is getting weaker and weaker!”

Master Bai smiled and said, “When I decided to go to the lower realms, I lowered down my cultivation power. I was in the Divinity Origin Stage, at least one level higher than Meng Wuzhen. I am talking about ten thousand years ago.

“Meng Wuzhen got something, so he freed himself from the cultivation restraint. He did rise to the top of the Saint Origin Stage. Whatever he got, it must have become a part of him. He was improving fast. Now, he is at the seventh level of the Undead Stage, which means he is stronger than many famous cultivators in the world. I think he is still improving incredibly fast.

“The Heavenly Mystery he found gives him such power.

“However, maybe he did it wrong. Young lords in a royal family like us have been supported by lots of dan beads and powerful tutors since we were born. We started cultivating since the first day of our lives. Improving fast isn’t what we need. In fact, it takes only about one hundred years to reach the Immortality Stage. However, we won’t do that because we need a strong foundation in cultivation and a powerful mindset. We always suppress our power and keep improving slowly. We restrained ourselves to cultivate ourselves in the low levels as long as possible. When our spiritual energy becomes pure, we set the power free and reach the next level. It brings us a strong acc.u.mulation. The later we set our power free, the higher we will reach in cultivation. Our mind power will be at a much higher level than our strength.”
