I, the mortal, come from the great world of Xuanhuang

"What you should do now is to seize the time to strengthen yourself, not only to wash away your shame, but also to clean up the mess. There are too many things in your sect that you, as the disciple, need to clean up slowly. If you clean them up well, that will naturally be a happy thing for everyone. If you don't clean them up well, you will lose your life. And this matter is very important. Remember to clean it up well and become stronger as quickly as possible. Only in this way will you have a chance to survive."

"If you don't want to live, then remember what you're going to say: you must hurry up and die, remember, you must hurry up and die, so that you can save a resource, right? Isn't that the logic? I know what you want to say, that I'm talking useless nonsense, but I still want to give you a reminder, mainly because you are still somewhat useful. If it weren't for these uses, I wouldn't be talking to you, because the two of us have nothing in common."

"I know you secretly hate me to the core, but that doesn't matter to me. It's nothing. No matter how much you hate me, it's useless because you can't do anything to me. You can't deal with me at all. So, in this situation, what can you do? What can you do? In short, you need to work hard and become stronger. Only in this way can you solve all your problems and troubles. Strong strength is the key to solving problems."

"Only with immense strength can you solve problems. Without such strength, trying to solve problems is a complete joke, wishful thinking, utterly wishful thinking. You must understand this, you absolutely must understand this. If you don't understand, the consequences will be extremely severe. I think you should understand this, I don't need to elaborate, you should understand how important everything I'm saying is. These are all essential. I hope you can know this, and understand that you must understand this. These are things you absolutely must understand, there's no reason why. Because if you don't understand, if you don't become stronger, then there's only one consequence: certain death. Not only will you die, but your family, your relatives and friends will also die. You must understand this, you absolutely must understand this. If you don't understand, they will all meet a tragic end because of your weakness, because of your incompetence, because they simply cannot fight against those powerful forces."

"They are not as strong as you, and they could never be as strong as you. You need to understand this, and you must understand this. If you don't understand this, then you can just wait to collect their corpses, or rather, let them collect your corpses. This is also a possibility. You need to understand that these are all possibilities."

"If you don't think so, or if you think I'm wrong about something, then just speak up, say whatever you want. It doesn't matter, none of this means or serves any purpose to me. Think what you want, believe what you want, it has no meaning to me whatsoever."

"My existence is solely for watching and directing this great show. I also hope that this show will be exciting; if it isn't, that would truly be a bad thing."

"After all, I've been directing for so long, so I definitely don't want this kind of thing to happen. I really, really don't want this kind of thing to happen again. This kind of thing is extremely important to me, and I care about it a lot. There's nothing I don't care about. I really hope that all of this can be resolved smoothly and logically. That would be a good thing for everyone, not a bad thing. That way, you can become stronger, and I can find, or rather, see the exciting show I want to see. That's what I want."

"Whether you agree or not is your business, it has nothing to do with me. Anyway, you need to know these things, you absolutely must know these things, otherwise they're useless. Sigh, it's really so upsetting, so upsetting."

"If the play is good, that's definitely a good thing, a very good thing. A very good thing, really a very good thing, it's just too good to be true. Ah, that's just how people are."

"No matter what, it has to be done, it has to be resolved. I have to see what I need to see; I simply cannot imagine what it would be like if I didn't."

"That's the truth, that's the truth. Anyway, I've already made everything clear to you. It's best if you want to believe it, but it's fine if you don't. It doesn't matter."

"These things don't matter at all, they just don't matter."

"You're saying all this mainly because you have value to me, you really do have value to me."

“If you weren’t valuable enough, the consequences would be unimaginable.”

"I simply cannot imagine it, I really cannot imagine it."

"Do whatever you want, but you have to understand that everything depends on whether you have the ability to do it."

"Ugh, my head hurts, it really hurts so much." "That's just how it is, whatever."

"You've said all that just for this spectacular show?"

Xiao Yan was speechless, but he had to find out the truth before he could feel at ease.

"Otherwise, do you think I would be so kind? Or do you think I have to be so kind? I would never be this kind, okay? I don't even know how to spell the word 'kindness'. If you don't believe me, that's your business, don't come looking for me. If you do believe me, then that's naturally a happy thing. Anyway, that's the truth. Do whatever you want, just don't come looking for me. I've already made everything I can say and do very clear to you. Whether you can do it or not is your business."

"If you can do it, then everyone will be happy. If you can't, then you'd better wait and see. This is my reminder to you. Out of consideration for us being from the same hometown, I'm giving you a sincere warning."

"If it weren't for this reason, I would never have given you such a reminder, because you are not qualified, and you don't deserve my reminder, understand? Anyway, you don't think I have any good intentions, and I don't know how to talk to the two of us. Anyway, that's it. Do whatever you want, just don't mess with me. If you do mess with me, you'd better prepare your coffin."

"As long as you prepare a coffin for yourself, you'll definitely need this tip, so don't worry. Generally speaking, I don't ask ordinary people to prepare a coffin, because they don't deserve my reminder."

"However, out of consideration for our shared hometown, I'll have you prepare a coffin. Remember, you absolutely must prepare a coffin. Only with a coffin can you survive... no, only with a coffin can you actually use it, not survive. I'm sorry, but you really can only use it if you have a coffin prepared. This is essential, you must understand, it's something you absolutely must do. If you can't do it, it will truly be a regrettable thing."

"It's such a pity, it's extremely regrettable. I really hope you can understand this principle, because we are, after all, from the same hometown. Whether you understand it or not is not important. What's important is that I have to give you a reminder, otherwise, wouldn't it seem like I'm being too disloyal? I don't want to be such a disloyal person."

"Whether you're willing or not is your business, it has nothing to do with me, and I'm too lazy to care about it."

"In short, what happens next depends on yourselves. If you two, master and disciple, are lucky, you'll be able to deal with that traitor. If your senior brother is unlucky, he'll kill you, and everything you have will fall into his hands. The power and strength he gains will be unimaginable, far beyond anything you could have imagined. It will only benefit him, with no drawbacks. Therefore, he will do everything in his power to resolve this matter, because it can change his destiny, make him stronger, more powerful, and more invincible. It can make him the pinnacle of power on the Dou Qi Continent, the most powerful being on the entire continent. This is something he must do; if he fails, the consequences will be unimaginable." "Imagine it, but I believe he can definitely do it, because he has the ability and the potential. Otherwise, you wouldn't have taken him as your disciple in the first place. If you took him as your disciple without expecting anything in return, you would be the best orphanage director on this continent. But the reason you took him as your disciple is because he has exceptional talent. That's why you took him as your disciple, not because you're so kind, just like how you chose your current disciple. It's not because you're so kind; you're not that kind, and you couldn't possibly be that kind, otherwise you wouldn't have cultivated to this level. It's because he has value, because he can gain your approval, and qualify to become your disciple, that's all. But you didn't adopt him because of kindness. You're not that kind of person, and I think you should understand that, old man."

“You’re right. If he hadn’t had that talent, I would never have taken him in. Absolutely not.”

"So, don't blame him for treating you that way. Of course, you can blame him, but it's your sect's business, and it has nothing to do with me. I'm too lazy to get involved in your sect's affairs anyway. It doesn't concern me much, and I'm too lazy to get entangled in it or face it. It's pointless, and I have no opinion on it. I'm just asking you to face this matter squarely. You must face this matter squarely. Only when you face it squarely can you understand the doubts in your heart. This problem must be solved. No one else can do it, only you can. Others can't do it, but unfortunately, they can't because this matter involves too many things. You think he betrayed you, but don't you think about why you took him in? Just because he has value to you. That's the blunt way to put it, or to put it bluntly. If he didn't have that value to him, how could you have taken him in? Aren't you joking? You're completely joking. It's impossible. I think you should understand this. You took him in precisely because he has value to you."

"So sometimes, don't talk about yourself so well, so openly and honestly. It's meaningless, pointless, and useless. It's really of no use at all. I hope you can understand this, or rather, I hope you can realize this. If you can't even realize this, as one of the most powerful alchemists in the Dou Qi Continent, you should understand this little principle. If you don't understand this little principle, then I really regret it. Why were you able to become such a high-level alchemist? It's such a pity. But obviously, you already understand, you already know. Sigh, it's really a good thing. It's a very good thing, a very good thing, instead of so many problems."

"Sure, you two, master and disciple, must work hard and persevere. You must solve this problem. If you don't, you're not far from death, truly not far from death. That's the truth, that's the reality. If you don't understand, don't force it. I won't say much more; it's useless and meaningless. Absolutely useless. It's a real headache, a truly terrible headache, an extreme headache. No matter what, this is a major issue, and no matter what we do, it's useless. You need to think this through. I believe everything will resolve itself naturally. Of course, I know you might not think that way; this is just a kind test, a reminder. If you understand, that's for the best. If you don't understand, then there's nothing more to say. There's really nothing more to say. I hope you can understand quickly and resolve this quickly. This must be resolved accurately; if it's not resolved, the consequences will be very serious. You should understand that." (End of Chapter)
