It Starts With The Confession To The Beautiful Master

Chapter 3



“Hmph, you’ve made no progress in your cultivation these recent years. If you can break through, I’ll believe in you!”

At a glance, Yue Yao could see through Zhang Yi’s current cultivation state and didn’t believe he could break through at the moment.

The difference between the Foundation Establishment realm and the Golden Core realm is vast. Many geniuses remain stuck in the Golden Core realm for their entire lives. It’s not as simple as breaking through just because one wants to.

“Master, why don’t we make a bet? If I break through, you’ll be with me. If I fail, you can do whatever you want with me.”

Zhang Yi had absolute confidence in the contents of the Heavenly Fate Box, and the more he felt its aura, the more he was filled with dread. He believed that once this item appeared in the world, it would inevitably cause a great disturbance.

“Okay, if you don’t break through, you die!”

Yue Yao’s gaze was icy, and her tone was cold and ruthless.

“Okay! Master, don’t go back on your word!”

Zhang Yi laughed heartily, not taking Yue Yao’s words to heart at all.

Despite the fact that the Heavenly Fate Map recognized that he had successfully confessed to Yue Yao, she still maintained a cold attitude. Zhang Yi didn’t believe it for a moment!

“Stop talking nonsense!”

Yue Yao urged him on, her gaze growing even colder.

Zhang Yi grudgingly complied and, with a thought, the Heavenly Fate Box opened, revealing a shiny golden bone that appeared inside his body, illuminating the entire Forgotten River Cliff with a brilliant light. A majestic and mighty force spread in all directions toward the Dao Sect.

In an instant, a supreme figure appeared in the darkness, as if a god had descended upon the desolate Forgotten River Cliff.

“It’s actually a Supreme Bone!?”

A wealth of information appeared automatically in Zhang Yi’s mind, and his expression became even more excited.

Sure enough, he had sensed it correctly. The greater the risk, the greater the reward. He felt that everything was so worthwhile.

This was a Supreme Bone, the bone of a being that could rival the ancient emperors.

With the Supreme Bone, becoming an emperor was almost a certainty.

“Is this… Vision of The Supreme?”

For the first time, Yue Yao’s face, which was not part of the mortal world, showed a look of astonishment. She looked at her disciple, whom she had watched grow up since childhood, with disbelief, and a hint of doubt flickered in her eyes.

However, Zhang Yi didn’t have the mind to care about Yue Yao. He only felt the supreme bone in his body accompanying waves of warmth, slowly merging with his body, as if it was the bone he was born with.

“Boom!”

Accompanied by a loud rumbling sound from within his body, a vast power washed over his body. Under the shining of the golden light, the handsome young man looked like a god, with a burst of supreme aura, and his cultivation skyrocketed.

“Crack!”

A crisp sound came from inside his body. The barrier that had been blocking Zhang Yi for a long time shattered, and his cultivation successfully broke through the Spirit Transformation Realm. The Golden Elixir in his body turned into a spiritual spring the size of 30 meters, and endless spiritual power gushed out of it, unending and inexhaustible.

“I knew I could break through!”

Zhang Yi opened his eyes and looked proudly at Yue Yao.

In the Wuling Continent, martial arts were paramount, and everyone practiced cultivation to ascend. The realms were divided into Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Golden Core, Spirit Transformation, Void Spirit, Divine Soul, and Heavenly Tribulation.

And Yue Yao was a great powerhouse in the later stage of Heavenly Tribulation, powerhouses in this realm were called Emperors.

With Zhang Yi’s breakthrough, the majestic Supreme Vision in the void disappeared without a trace. Although it was only a flash in the pan, it alarmed many great powers in the Wuling continent.

On this night, countless pairs of eyes were staring at Dao Sect, and it was destined to be a restless night!

“Master…”

Zhang Yi was about to talk to her about the bet, but before he could react, he felt a softness sweeping over him, like a piece of soft jade, cold yet warm. This made Zhang Yi subconsciously grasp the jade palm in his hand, “Master, what are you doing?”

Despite his earlier words, Zhang Yi was still somewhat shy, not expecting that his cold and aloof master was actually an action-taker.

Yue Yao also realized her loss of composure. The panic in her eyes faded, and her face instantly turned cold. A chill erupted, and she shook off Zhang Yi’s hand, and said coldly, “Let’s go, what nonsense are you thinking?”

Without waiting for Zhang Yi’s reaction, she grabbed his collar and headed toward Moon Shadow Peak.

Under the moonlight, the two figures shone brightly as a gentle breeze blew. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at Moon Shadow Peak.

“Master, about the bet…”

After landing, Zhang Yi asked eagerly.

He knew that dealing with such a proud and aloof female emperor required shamelessness.

Yue Yao glared at him, her eyes filled with suspicion, and a burst of killing intent emanated from her, making Zhang Yi unable to move.

‘What did I do wrong? Why does she have such a strong killing intent toward me? Did I go too far?’ Zhang Yi thought in exasperation.

“Master, you’re not keeping your word. Didn’t you agree that if I broke through, you would be with me? It’s okay if we don’t, but there’s no need to kill me!”

Zhang Yi keenly felt the killing intent, and although his expression was calm, he was inwardly panicked.

“Speak! Who are you?”

Yue Yao’s lips slightly opened, and she raised her hand, placing a long sword at Zhang Yi’s throat.

Zhang Yi had no doubt about Yue Yao’s killing intent towards him. As long as he made even the slightest mistake, death would be waiting for him.

“Master, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

Zhang Yi chose to play dumb.

Zhang Yi never imagined that Yue Yao would begin to doubt his identity. But no matter how suspicious she was, he was the genuine Zhang Yi.

“Playing dumb? The Supreme Bone is an innate existence. I’ve been with you for eighteen years, and I’ve never seen any sign of the Supreme Bone in you. Why did it suddenly appear today?”

As she spoke, she pushed the tip of the sword forward, causing a piercing pain and a red stain on the sword’s edge.

“Master, calm down! You’ve misunderstood. Perhaps my emotions were suppressed before, causing the Supreme Bone not to appear. Now that I’ve released my emotions, the Supreme Bone has naturally appeared.”

Zhang Yi’s heart was racing. Within a day, he faced the threat of death three times, and each time it came from Yue Yao.

Seeing the suspicion in Yue Yao’s eyes still not dissipating, Zhang Yi quickly said, “Master, it’s really a misunderstanding. I can prove it!”

“At the age of three, you took me to the Dao Sect. At the age of seven, I broke through the foundation-building realm, and you even kissed my cheek. At the age of ten, I entered the core formation realm, and you personally cooked a meal to reward me. At the age of fifteen, I entered the golden core realm, and you praised me as a rare genius of a thousand years, the future of the Dao sect is in my hands. At the age of eighteen, I revealed my true heart to you and broke through the Spirit Transformation realm…”

Zhang Yi recalled everything in his mind and talked endlessly.

Upon hearing this, the suspicion in Yue Yao’s eyes slowly faded, and the strength in her sword also weakened. These things were particularly secretive, and only the two of them knew.

But that was not enough!

In the next moment, Yue Yao took out a whip emitting purple lightning, and the thunder roared like an evil dragon as if it wanted to devour one’s soul.

“The Soul Whip!”

Zhang Yi immediately recognized the origin of the whip, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

The Soul Whip, which whipped away people’s souls, if used on a person who had been possessed, would cause their soul to scatter and die.

‘I’m not possessed, am I? Why does master still suspect me so much? I’ve said so much and she still doesn’t believe me.’

Zhang Yi felt that his fate was tumultuous. He had just escaped one calamity, and now he was facing another.

Indeed, trouble never came alone!

“Smack!”

Before Zhang Yi could react, the whip lashed onto his back. The purple thunder instantly entwined around his body like a dragon, and a bloody wound appeared.

“Hiss…”

Zhang Yi felt a tearing pain as if his soul was going to tear apart. He gasped for breath, and the purple thunder seemed to want to extract his soul.

“Buzz!”

Just as Zhang Yi’s soul was about to be extracted, the Heavenly Fate Map suddenly shook and emitted a burst of golden light, dispelling all the purple thunder inside his body. His soul gradually recovered its calmness.

Seeing this, Yue Yao’s expression became extremely complex. She breathed a long sigh of relief and muttered to herself in a low voice, “So he was really innocent.”

Today, she only felt that Zhang Yi was acting a little strange, and coupled with the sudden appearance of the Supreme Bone, she had her suspicions.

“Master, it hurts so much. If you don’t want to fulfill the bet, you don’t have to treat me like this.”

Rubbing his back, Zhang Yi gasped for breath and complained bitterly.
