Zuo Lengchan's Challenge, Buddha Palm!

"Using cheap tricks like that is a bit too arrogant, don't you think? Do you really take everyone in the world for fools?"

Zuo Lengchan snorted and fixed Ye Zhuo with a stern gaze.

"Cheap tricks?"

Ye Zhuo found the challenge amusing.

How many years had it been since anyone had dared speak to him like that?

This wet-behind-the-ears brat truly had no idea what he was dealing with.

"Isn't that what they are? Immortals are nothing but a myth.

You're putting on a grand display, yet even this little nun from the Mount Heng Sect is afraid of you.

Do you really think you're some kind of immortal?"

An immortal?

Ye Zhuo almost laughed.

As it happened, he truly was an immortal in the Ancient Martial World. He simply had no idea where all the others had gone.

For centuries, he had searched the mountains and rivers, the hidden paradises and sacred places, without finding a trace of the divine.

Had the immortals really departed after the Severing of Heaven and Earth?

Ye Zhuo did not lose his temper. He merely rested a hand on Yilin's forehead.

"An immortal touched my head, and as I came of age, bestowed longevity upon me."

"Remember, Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism all spring from the same root."

"Entering the world or leaving it, cultivating the Dao or practicing martial arts—it is all part of the same journey."

Ye Zhuo was telling Yilin not to concern herself too much with outward things.

Sure enough.

When flowing hair appeared on Yilin's head in an instant,

she finally understood what he meant.
