I am a living immortal.

Chapter 426: Divine Power

It wasn't just Qi Si who didn't know what Li Shu had done.

Everyone present was unaware of this. The cheers and excitement they had heard when they saw Qi Si trapping Li Shu suddenly ceased, and the scene fell into complete silence.

Even Xing Lin, the elder of the Martial Arts Peak, couldn't figure out what was going on. He was familiar with the Heat Lotus Pond move, but he didn't know why it suddenly lost its power. However, he knew the problem lay with Li Shu.

Only Su Mu saw it. It seemed that this was the ability or magical power that this world had given Li Shu. No wonder they dared to throw this kid out to fight against the Mirage Dragon.

Li Shu let out a long breath, but did not hide anything.

“Because it’s my natural ability.”

“Magic power?”

"Yes, there is no fault in supernatural powers."

Xing Lin was stunned for a moment after hearing this answer. Although supernatural powers were rare, they were not unheard of. But what kind of supernatural power was Li Shu's?

“No blame???”

"Yes, being free from calamity and fault is called being blameless."

"Any disaster that befalls me will end peacefully," Li Shu said without hesitation. It was also because of the confidence given by this magical power that he still didn't know the limit of this magical power.

This magical power had been etched into his memory since birth. This was also the reason why he, an abandoned baby, was able to survive in the mountains and forests. After all, any poisonous insect or ferocious beast in the mountains and forests could kill an infant.

But he managed to survive.

When hungry, there's animal milk; when thirsty, there's nectar; when sick, herbs come naturally. Through various miraculous and unbelievable coincidences, a baby grows up. It's a truly extraordinary power, so extraordinary that even Su Mu feels it's a stroke of genius.

After hearing Li Shu's answer, everyone showed an incredible expression.

What is this person talking about? How could there be such an outrageous supernatural power in this world?

"So you..." Qi Si opened his mouth slightly, but couldn't speak.

"No, I lost this match," Li Shu conceded decisively. While his magical powers were a part of his strength, they couldn't help him win the match; at best, they would only lead to a stalemate. But that was meaningless. He clearly recognized his own shortcomings and acknowledged the Haori Immortal Sect.

Then Li Shu looked at Xing Lin again and said, "I am willing to take you as my teacher!"

As he spoke, he was about to perform the master-disciple etiquette.

Xing Lin reacted immediately. The duel ended in this way, but there was still a sense of unfinished business, like a poorly written novel with an ending that felt like it hadn't been written. That feeling of frustration lingered in his heart, neither up nor down, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Xing Lin was actually very happy. He had originally taken on such a disciple on a whim. But after the joy, he was also worried, because Li Shu's talent was so special, so special that even without thinking too much, he knew what most people were thinking.

Besides, preparations for going to the Northern Wasteland State were also underway. It was unclear what Li Shu's appearance at this time meant.

He gave a few instructions and then headed to the highest peak of the Haori Immortal Sect. The headmaster was there, and he had to go and discuss things with him.

If he wasn't his disciple, he could just watch from the sidelines, and the outcome wouldn't matter to him. But now that person was his disciple, he had to fight for it.

Alas, this disciple was too straightforward. He revealed such a secret in public. This was probably inevitable, as with such magical powers, he didn't have many concerns.

He didn't regret accepting this disciple. After all, he had such outstanding talent, surpassing most of his peers through his own exploration. He was like a piece of beautiful jade, and with careful polishing, he would surely shine brightly.

What's more, this is a piece of beautiful jade with hidden secrets, and its magical power is simply unheard of.

No matter what method he used, he had to dissuade the master from taking this new disciple to Beihuangzhou.

In just a few steps, they arrived outside the hall.

Just as he was thinking about what to say, the door slowly opened. It seemed the headmaster knew he was coming. Xing Lin slowly walked in. Su Mu was also extremely curious. She had always heard about the strength of the so-called headmaster, the highest combat power in this cave world.

This time, he didn't resort to any random trickery. He concealed all traces of his past, using a few talismans to isolate the inside and outside, severing any connection, like two parallel lines.

He didn't want to reveal his true identity. It would be embarrassing if someone found out.

The moment he entered the hall, he felt the scorching heat, as if he were inside a furnace. In fact, judging by the decoration, it looked like a furnace—no, an alchemy furnace. It was all brass and exquisitely carved. In the center sat a middle-aged man in a fiery red robe embroidered with gold, looking flamboyant and unbridled.

When he saw Xing Lin, he smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I knew you were coming. You're such a taciturn person, it's been a long time since you came to my place."

Xing Lin smiled wryly. He knew this time they would return empty-handed. As his senior, he knew him all too well. This man seemed carefree and unconventional, but in reality, he was stubborn. Even eight hundred or eight thousand oxen, let alone eight, could not change his mind.

But Xing Lin still continued what he said.

"It's been four or five hundred years, I can't remember. Time flies."

"Are you still blaming me for what happened back then?" The headmaster said casually.

Hmm? Seems like there's some great gossip going on.

Su Mu, observing the hall, frowned. If this gossip were being shared publicly, he'd be happy to sit down and listen. But this time, it was an unauthorized interruption, so he decided to let it go. He fixed his gaze on the headmaster of the Haori Immortal Sect. This man was powerful, at least he'd come a long way on his path. If we were to put it simply, he'd already reached the pinnacle of the Daoist initiate, only one step away from achieving enlightenment. But this step, like a natural barrier, blocked his path.

This kind of reason was composed of many factors, including his own reasons and the reasons of heaven and earth. However, he had not expected that there were six such beings in the cave world.

After glancing at the two of them, Su Mu slowly walked away. It always felt weird to pry into other people's privacy.

They came quickly and left quickly. Instead of listening to gossip here, why not go and see the protagonist chosen by the Golden Crow?

No one in the hall noticed and continued chatting among themselves.

However, the topic they were talking about still revolved around Li Shu.

Hearing the headmaster's question, Xing Lin was silent for a while before he sighed and said, "It's been so long, the anger has dissipated, I just don't want to talk about it."
