The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

Chapter 59: The Biggest Scam

The figure Chi Miao saw was wearing a long robe with a huge crane and auspicious cloud pattern. He sat on a huge rock with his eyes closed. He looked extremely old, like a withered branch, without any vitality.

His hair was like white threads, strand by strand, and his beard was extremely long, swaying in the wind.

Just looking at it from afar brings a sense of peace to the heart.

Chi Miao was deeply attracted by the person in front of her and couldn't help but walk forward.

She waved:

"Hi?"

"Moses, Moses?"

"Ohayo, senior!"

Hmm... it seems it's not a language problem; there really isn't the slightest sound.

Chi Miao looked at the long beard of the person in front of him and carefully touched it.

Hmm... it feels pretty good, perfect for making pigtails.

But isn't it a bit inappropriate to tie your beard into pigtails?

However, at that moment, the person in front of me opened their eyes. What kind of eyes were they?

Kind and compassionate, as if he could forgive everything in the world, he smiled: "Twin tails? An interesting idea, is that so?"

After he finished speaking, his beard split open and turned into twin ponytails.

Chi Miao was startled at first, then his eyes lit up: "Wow! You can hear my thoughts? And you're even willing to help me try such a perverted idea, you're such a good old man!"

The old man who received the "Good Old Man Certificate" smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment."

Chi Miao pursed her lips and asked, "You protected me and then brought me here? Who are you?"

The old man stared at Chi Miao: "Why don't you try to guess? It seems a bit boring to just tell me directly."

Chi Miao placed her finger to her lips.

Then his eyes darted around.

"You are... the Supreme Elder?"

The old man's eyes lit up, as if he had never encountered anything so interesting before, and he was clearly even more curious about Chi Miao: "How did you figure that out at a glance?"

Chi Miao said:

"Even my master, with his Nascent Soul stage cultivation, couldn't help me overcome that tribulation. In other words... the person who helps me must have a cultivation level that surpasses my master's. There aren't many people in Miaohua Continent who can do that, at least... there aren't any on the surface."

"In terms of strength, probably only those reclusive big shots could do that."

"From a standpoint of perspective, the one who helped me survive... naturally wouldn't be my enemy. After much thought, my gaze finally settled on one more point."

"That is my Supreme Elder's Decree."

"Rumor has it that my master is a disciple of the Supreme Elder, who lives in seclusion. He must have obtained this token with the Supreme Elder's approval. The strongest person in the entire sect is this Supreme Elder. It is most likely that he will come to help me if my grand-disciple is in trouble."

After Chi Miao finished explaining his reasoning, the kind old man in front of him chuckled.

"No wonder everyone adores you. Your little brain is smarter than everyone else in Nine Swords Mountain combined."

He saw it and couldn't help but like it.

how many years?

Finally, someone with a good brain has emerged from Nine Swords Mountain.

What a wonderful girl! How is she cheap?

People outside love to spread rumors.

The master advisor adores his grand-apprentice more and more the more he looks at him!

Chi Miao chuckled and scratched the back of his head, looking rather embarrassed: "Oh dear, it's not good for you to praise me like that, after all, all of them combined might not even have a brain."

The Supreme Elder: "..."

It is indeed a bit cheeky.

He speaks in a sarcastic or obnoxious way.

Chi Miao looked up, his eyes sincere.

"But sir, thank you for saving my life!"

But as soon as she opened her mouth, the Supreme Elder shook his head: "It's not me who will protect you, it's yourself."

Chi Miao was taken aback: "Myself?"

The Supreme Elder asked, "Do you remember what happened just before the divine punishment was about to kill you two?"

Chi Miao: "What happened?"

She remembered that she was extremely anxious at the time, and all she wanted was for her master to leave as soon as possible so that she wouldn't be dragged down by her.

Then, her mind jolted...

The millstone rolled out of her sea of consciousness, obliterating all the heavenly tribulation lightning.

"It's a millstone?!"

The Supreme Elder then smiled and said, "Yes, it was that millstone. If it weren't for that millstone erasing the divine punishment, not only me, but even a true immortal wouldn't have been able to save you."

Chi Miao was stunned: "But isn't that... a soul-refining technique?"

The Supreme Elder said, "You know better than anyone what kind of cultivation technique it is, don't you? No one in this world knows it better than you."

Because no one else could cultivate that technique successfully like Chi Miao.

Chi Miao took a deep breath.

She had actually suspected it a long time ago, because the "Gods and Demons Breaking Thoughts and Observing the Millstone Method" was too profound, and... it also had the shadow of gods and demons pushing the millstone.

She absolutely did not believe that it was just an ordinary cultivation technique.

But she didn't know exactly what that technique was.

"What's the origin of that technique?"

The Supreme Elder seems to have been waiting for this question:

"I don't know his background, but I do know one thing... that technique has some connection with the Heavenly Sorrow Immortal."

"Back then, the Immortal Tianbei left this technique to his close friend, who was also the ancestor of our sect, and told the ancestor that he had to wait for someone who could cultivate this technique to appear."

"Who would have thought that after the Celestial Sorrow ascended to heaven, people sought out his belongings, and this 'Divine Demon Breaking Mind Observation Method' was one of them. After several great battles, our ancestor finally lost this book, but who would have thought that after all the twists and turns... it would return to our sect?"

"Once this technique is mastered, it will possess a certain power governed by rules..."

"Rules—those are the power that belongs solely to the Heavenly Dao! The Heavenly Dao establishes the rules, and it uses these rules to nourish all living beings! Under the Heavenly Dao, the rules are supreme!"

"No one can transcend the rules, not even those undergoing tribulation, not even so-called immortals! Stepping outside the rules will inevitably bring divine punishment!"

"But this 'Divine Demon Breaking Thought Observation Method' can break free from the rules. In a sense, it may be a power that can override the Heavenly Dao."

"Do you know how enormous the mysteries are within this?"

Chi Miao's mind went blank for a moment, and he murmured in disbelief, "Altered...the power of the Heavenly Dao?"

Well known.

Cultivation is against the will of Heaven, and will inevitably bring calamity.

If any cultivator fails to attain enlightenment and ascend to immortality, their ultimate fate will inevitably be tragic.

If one can override the Heavenly Dao, it means...

You can change your fate; you can change your predetermined destiny.

To a certain extent, the rules can be "ignored".

Chi Miao gasped, "This cultivation technique was developed by the Heavenly Compassion Immortal?!"

The Supreme Elder smiled and shook his head: "He can't do it, he can't even master it."

Chi Miao suffered another shock to her values.

Even the only ascended being, the Heavenly Sorrow Immortal, couldn't master it?!

"Of course he can't, in fact... no one in this world but you."

"Practitioners of this technique will inevitably suffer repeated torment between life and death. No one can endure such torment, but you can, because the Yama Curse on your body has already made you accustomed to this pain, preventing you from collapsing in the process of your soul being obliterated and reshaped."

"In other words, this technique... is as if it were tailor-made for you."

Chi Miao swallowed hard.

"Am I that awesome?"

The Supreme Elder: "Of course it's awesome."

Chi Miao blushed: "I'm not that awesome."

The Supreme Elder said, "No, your path... seems to be manipulated by someone in the dark."

Chi Miao was stunned and completely bewildered.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Do you know the biggest scam in the world?"

"The biggest scam?"

The Supreme Elder pointed to Chi Miao's abdomen.

Chi Miao was stunned: "My amazing slender waist is the biggest hoax in the world???"
