The Grandmaster Is Omnipotent

"System, take over the Supreme Heavenly Book."

Li Yu's face was icy cold. It was too late to rush over in person, so he had to find another way.

Actually, there were ways to rush over in person. However, whether it was the Great Completion Saintly Body's divine ability to cross thousands of miles in a single step, or the skills of others to soar through the clouds and traverse the void, the consumption was too great.

With just the thousand-odd points of energy stored in Li Yu's system, it would be completely depleted in one go, which was far too uneconomical.

"System, create a virtual projection. Use the Supreme Heavenly Book as the coordinate and initiate an energy connection."

Li Yu instantly devised a countermeasure and issued the command to the system. An invisible wave surged, and the system completed all preparations.

In the hall of the small town.

Zhou Yi knelt on the ground, kowtowing devoutly, and shouted, "Grandmaster, save me!"

"Uh..."

The cultivators in the hall were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Grandmaster? It's no use even if you call him ancestor!"

The mournful cries from the rolling black smoke emanating from the long saber were soul-stirring. The old man with the bronze face looked ferocious, "If you don't hand over the treasure, you'll only have a dead end!"

"Haha! This is hilarious. Even if you have some Grandmaster, will he hear you just by shouting like this? And even if he hears, can he rush over? Is your Grandmaster a Great Emperor? That capable?"

An old man next to him looked at Zhou Yi with mockery, thinking Zhou Yi was out of his mind and talking nonsense.

"Hahahaha! Call him over! Call your Grandmaster over! I'd like to see how capable he is! If he dares to come, I'll beat him into a dead dog."

"Hahahaha!"

The cultivators in the room burst into laughter.

"Refining pills indoors with Earthly Branches, seizing the innate within the furnace.

Giving birth to a guest in the Eight Sceneries Palace, forgetting how many tens of thousands of years have passed in the mortal world!"

A ethereal long song echoed in the air. Amidst the vast purple mist, a young man in green stood with his hands behind his back, green energy flowing around him, his Dao aura naturally formed.

"This Daoist, Taishang."

The young man in green floated in mid-air. The mist obscured him, revealing a magnificent and unfathomable presence. His aura was ethereal and illusory, yet also majestic and awe-inspiring. The pressure, as vast as the starry sky, made one tremble with fear.

"We welcome the Grandmaster's arrival."

Zhou Yi cried tears of excitement and shouted with a choked voice, kowtowing heavily.

"Ah? This... this..."

Seeing this scene, the cultivators gasped in unison, their faces draining of color, and they retreated in fear.

"There really is some Grandmaster?"

The old man with the bronze face secretly hid his long saber, his eyes darting around nervously.

"How is this possible? How can such a person exist?"

The sinister old woman trembled, almost unable to stand.

"Damn it! We might have caused huge trouble now."

The cultivators from the Spirit Void Grotto-Heaven exchanged glances, their hearts beginning to pound.

"Damn it, why is this Wicked Taoist here again? What's his relationship with Zhou Yi?"

Liu Yunzhi lowered his head, secretly glancing at Li Yu from the corner of his eye, his fists clenched with venomous hatred. "You Wicked Taoist, why do you only favor Zhou Yi? Why don't you notice me? Die! Go to hell!"

"This Daoist, Taishang."

Li Yu nodded at Zhou Yi, then his gaze swept across the cultivators, stopping at the old man who had been shouting about beating him into a dead dog. "I am here."

"Uh..."

The old man's face stiffened, and he began to tremble.

Seeing this, the other cultivators quickly and subtly took a few steps back, creating some distance.

"My disciple has not yet formally begun cultivating and is still a mortal. Your bullying is truly unwarranted."

Li Yu pointed at Zhou Yi and said to the cultivators, "With my status, if I were to attack you, it would appear as though I were bullying the young. However, this matter cannot be left unresolved."

Speaking of which, Li Yu turned to Zhou Yi and waved his hand, releasing a surge of power that lifted Zhou Yi, who was still kneeling on the ground.

"Zhou Yi, are you willing to act on my behalf?"

"Uh?"

Zhou Yi was stunned. Can I, with my meager abilities, act on behalf of my Grandmaster?

As soon as the doubt arose, Zhou Yi immediately reacted. With his Grandmaster present, what was there to fear? His Grandmaster's might reached the heavens; naturally, he would have a way to help me win! Even if a dragon appeared before me, I'd slay it for you!

"When the master has matters, the disciple carries them out. Such a thing naturally does not require the Grandmaster to act."

Zhou Yi raised his head and chest, his fighting spirit soaring. "This disciple is willing!"

"Good!"

Li Yu nodded in admiration, thinking to himself, this kid is quite clever after all. It wasn't a waste of all the effort I put into him.

"Go on!"

Li Yu waved his hand, and a barely perceptible speck of purple light landed on Zhou Yi's forehead. The light flashed and vanished without a trace.

Zhou Yi's entire body trembled, and the voice of the Heavenly Book Spirit echoed in his mind simultaneously.

"Your Majesty, by the grace of the Dao Ancestor, you have obtained Other Shore realm Grand Void Sword Qi and Other Shore realm True Essence power. Do you wish to empower?"

"Empower!"

A surge of power flowed through his entire body, and Zhou Yi marveled inwardly, "Grandmaster is truly omnipotent!"

"Come on!"

With a shout, Zhou Yi strode towards the cultivators, his head held high. He waved his hand with great spirit, "Come at me all at once!"

"Scoundrel! How dare you be so arrogant!"

"A mere commoner dares to fight against us? Even if your Grandmaster's divine abilities are great, he couldn't possibly turn you from a mortal into a cultivator in an instant."

"However... this Grandmaster is somewhat terrifying. We can only try not to harm him."

The cultivators' thoughts raced, and they had already made up their minds.

"Since you're not making a move, I'll go first!"

Zhou Yi extended his right hand, fingers together like a sword, and swept it forward.

"Clang..."

A piercing sword cry soared into the sky, and a sword light, as clear as flowing water, transformed into pure, transparent ripples that spread outwards.

"Ah! Damn it! How can it have such power?"

Seeing this sword light, the cultivators' faces changed drastically. They quickly unleashed their attacks, and beams of light rose as they all wielded their weapons to block the sword qi Zhou Yi unleashed.

"Clang..."

The water-like sword light struck the cultivators' weapons, emitting a resonant tremor. With the intent of a sword that could break all laws and cut through anything, this sword light was incredibly sharp and unstoppable.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

Light cutting sounds, continuous and unbroken. One sword strike, and no one could block it!

"Ah..."

The cultivators cried out in pain, spitting up blood, and were sent flying by this single sword strike.

"He's... this powerful?"

The cultivators coughed up blood, scrambled to their feet, and looked at Zhou Yi with faces full of shock. Then, with eyes as if they had seen a ghost, they looked towards Li Yu, who was floating amidst the swirling purple mist.

"We surrender."

A mortal instantly becoming a powerful cultivator – such a method was truly astonishing. The cultivators had lost all desire to win and could only face reality, honestly admitting defeat.

"Since you surrender, the matter of you bullying me can be let go."

Zhou Yi nodded and retracted his sword qi.

The cultivators breathed a sigh of relief and were about to speak when Zhou Yi interrupted them.

"You bullied me, and I can let it go. However..."

Zhou Yi pointed his finger at the old man who had previously boasted about beating Li Yu like a dead dog, "However, you insulted the Grandmaster, and that cannot be let go! The Grandmaster is of noble status and wouldn't bother with you. As his disciple, I cannot stand by and do nothing."

"Clang..."

A stream of sword qi shot out, and the water-like sword light slashed down towards the old man's head.

"Heh heh! This kid Zhou Yi really understands me!"

Li Yu felt a surge of satisfaction and nodded inwardly.
