CHAPTER 532: CHAPTER 532 YOU ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR CULTIVATION

The people nearby were struggling not to laugh, their mouths twisted in the effort.

Fucking god... They had never seen such an outrageous practitioner at the peak of the Supreme Mystery Realm, someone who could suppress a Lord’s realm with a casual wave of her hand, without even taking a breath.

Gu Mang’s expression darkened as he stared coldly at her. Although silent, his eyes conveyed three unspoken words: "He doesn’t believe."

Could he, a dignified Lord, not defeat someone from the Supreme Mystery Realm? What a joke!

"Do you dare?" Chen Shixian raised an eyebrow, a playful smile in her eyes. "If you win against me, I’ll let you go. But if not, you can forget about getting anything from the Wind Cloud List."

Fuck! This was too much!

"Fine," Gu Mang fumed. "This prince wants to see where your confidence comes from at the Supreme Mystery Realm." He wasted no more words and charged over swiftly.

His fists clenched tightly in the process. BANG! A loud sound echoed as his massive fist smashed through the air.

In an instant, the Dantian within his body boiled, and his Power Path erupted violently...

He was very strong. But Chen Shixian was stronger. With a casual flick of her wrist, she unleashed a slice of Sword Intent, effortlessly blocking Gu Mang’s assault.

So effortlessly.

Indeed. The group of geniuses behind her remained undisturbed. After all, they had all personally experienced Chen Shixian’s combat strength—all had been suppressed by her, including a powerhouse of the eighth layer of the Lord’s realm. How could Gu Mang alone possibly be her opponent?

Gu Mang’s face froze. Still mute, he raised his hand, clenched his fist, and unleashed an even more formidable martial skill.

But the outcome was clear. No matter how he attacked or what martial skill he executed, none could touch Chen Shixian.

She remained calm, a breeze blowing her dress as it fluttered.

After several attacks, her figure remained unmoved, her face always wearing a slight smile.

This made Gu Mang feel dread. It was suffocating.

Could it be? Could it be that there was truly a problem with his cultivation? Possessing a realm in name only, without the corresponding strength, to the point that he couldn’t even defeat someone at the peak of the Supreme Mystery Realm.

He stumbled backward several paces, his form unsteady, unable to accept this scene.

"Do you see?" Chen Shixian said. "There’s a problem with your cultivation. You have the realm but not the combat power of that level. That’s why even I, someone at the Supreme Mystery Realm, can defeat you. Alas... However, there’s still a chance for you."

"What chance?" He suddenly looked up. Something felt amiss with her words, yet he couldn’t pinpoint why...

Of course, it’s to get him to join the Wuji Sect!

Chen Shixian just shrugged, without further explanation, simply stating, "You’ve lost. Be quick and leave!"

CRACK!

Gu Mang, unwilling to accept defeat, clenched his fist so hard that his bones crackled. He stared intently at Chen Shixian. "Who exactly are you? Why target me?"

Chen Shixian smiled. "Because I find you disagreeable."

She knew such a reason was infuriating, carrying an extremely malicious, bad-to-the-bone feeling. No prior grudge, no enmity, yet I target him. It’s worse than a beast, and the reason I gave is even more so. If I were after something on Gu Mang, that would be one thing, but I’m not even doing that...

Gu Mang trembled violently with rage, nearly spitting blood.

"The reason, I’m not going to tell you. So... I’ll just be the villain here!" Chen Shixian chuckled.

"Is it the First Prince?"

"No!"

"Then who?"

"..."

Chen Shixian turned away, waving her hand dismissively. "You’re really not suited for cultivation. If I don’t stop you, and you advance another realm or two, you’ll likely suffer a backlash. You have too many hidden ailments, and your Dao heart isn’t firm enough. That you’ve made it this far shows your Creation has been favorable. Someone must have been helping you."

She paused and then said, "Throw him out."

Chen Pingping wanted to recruit him into the Wuji Sect. Therefore, she had to be the villain in this case.

Gu Mang seemed to realize his own issues as well. He showed a bitter smile, still unwilling to accept this outcome, but no longer resisted as the onslaught consumed him.

After sending off Gu Mang, the group of young geniuses finally relaxed.

Finally, it’s over. This time, we can go seek the Great Opportunity, right?

They followed her excitedly.

But Chen Shixian had no intention of seeking the Great Opportunity at all. She found a secluded place and sat down quietly to meditate.

The geniuses immediately became anxious. "Boss..." they began, then trailed off.

Chen Shixian smiled. "There are too many powerful geniuses on the list. Arriving now could lead to big trouble, so there’s no rush."

"..."

"Besides, the first place on the Wind Cloud List is mine. Just stick with me," she said lightly.

This was a promise Chen Pingping had given her.

And for some reason, she believed it.

「Outside.」

Lan Qingshui looked at the eliminated Gu Mang in surprise. "What happened?"

Even if Gu Mang’s strength was lacking, as a fifth-layer Lord, he shouldn’t have been eliminated this quickly, right? Besides, the list has been up for seven or eight days. Hadn’t he found anything? Still fifth-layer, just fifth-layer.

Gu Mang took a deep breath, gazing at the massive Wind Cloud List, and said with a bitter smile, "Am I really not suited for cultivation?"

Lan Qingshui: "..."

She lowered her eyelids, not responding to his question.

Gu Mang continued, "I can’t even defeat someone at the peak of the Supreme Mystery Realm."

??? Such a thing happened?

Lan Qingshui was shocked. "Who?"

Gu Mang shook his head. "I don’t know. A woman, she’s very strong."

Not far away...

Jiang Ni’er, who had been watching them all this time, smiled upon hearing this. Her first thought was Chen Shixian.

Unable to defeat someone at the peak of the Supreme Mystery Realm? Chen Shixian is no ordinary Supreme Mystery Realm practitioner! She has an Ancient Divine Body, her cultivation is special, and her combat power is comparable to that of a Peak Lord. She’s not someone a mere fifth-layer like you could shake.

Jiang Ni’er held back her laughter and approached. "You’re not cut out for cultivation."

Hmm?

Gu Mang suddenly looked up, his pupils shrinking as he stared at her intensely. In that moment, he understood.

"Was it you people?" he said angrily.

It must be them! The Wuji Sect wants to recruit me, so they’re desperately trying to make me believe I’m truly not suited for cultivation. I get it now!

Jiang Ni’er shook her head. "Not me."

Damn it...

Gu Mang said angrily, "You’re shameless."

His mentality crumbled.

To get me to join the Wuji Sect, they actually stooped to such despicable means, having a powerful expert pretend to be at the Supreme Mystery Realm just to suppress me. Despicable!

Gu Mang glared, eyes furious, about to strike. But upon seeing Zi Ji approaching, he instantly froze.

I can’t beat her...

Zi Ji blinked and said, "Although Chen is only at the Supreme Mystery Realm, her combat power is very strong. Most Lords can’t defeat her, so don’t lose heart."

Gu Mang: "..."

"Besides, Senior Brother said you’re not suited for cultivation, so it must be true. You really aren’t..." Zi Ji tilted her head. "Why don’t you try Alchemy?"

"Fuck off..."

"We at the Wuji Sect have all kinds of Spiritual Medicine," Zi Ji said with a smile.

Gu Mang’s face turned ashen.

"Really..." Zi Ji went on. "From first to ninth grade, and even The King of Medicine—our Sect is filled with Spiritual Medicine!"

He didn’t want to talk, nor did he want to deal with these people.

Because he had missed the great opportunity of the Wind Cloud List. He had also missed his chance at the Great Emperor’s Heritage, including the crucial pact and the guiding ancient scroll.

My path to invincibility is gone.

Gu Mang’s face was ghastly, his lips white, as he stared blankly at the Wind Cloud List.

Huh...

Seeing him ignore her, Zi Ji became sulky. He doesn’t even want The King of Medicine?

At that moment, Shisan walked over. He had heard Zi Ji’s boasts from afar. As he approached, he couldn’t help saying, "I don’t believe it."
