Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1516 - 668: I Really Am a Mortal_2

Seeing all these friends treat him with such respect and fear, kneeling one by one, Ding Ye felt a bit amused and helpless. He extended his hand to pull them up one by one, shaking his head as he said, "You guys, there’s no need for this. I, Ding Ye, am still the same Ding Ye, there’s no need to be so respectful and afraid of me!"

The crowd was helped up by Ding Ye, but their faces still showed obvious reverence, not even daring to look Ding Ye in the eye. Huang Jiu and several others even had slight tremors throughout their bodies.

The person before them was a terrifying Great Immortal Venerable who could wipe out all the Immortal Venerables of an Immortal Sect with just a wave of his hand. How could they dare to speak casually with Ding Ye as they did before?

For a moment, everyone was silent as cicadas in the winter, standing there trembling, not knowing what to say.

Seeing this, Ding Ye couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless and sighed, "You guys... what can I say? That earth-shattering Immortal Technique just now was only possible with Master Profound Void’s assistance behind me; I wouldn’t have been able to perform it on my own. My actual strength is merely that of a low tier Transcendent Realm Cultivator who has just stepped half a foot into the Immortal Path—just a mortal. Besides, even if I attain such earth-shattering power in the future, you don’t need to act like this. After all, you are my friends, not my enemies. What is there to be afraid of?"

Hearing Ding Ye’s words, everyone nodded repeatedly. However, even after nodding, they remained silent, not daring to speak another word, nor daring to move recklessly.

As for Ding Ye claiming he is still a mortal... Liang Yucheng, Wei Hong, Hong Futian, and others could hardly truly believe Ding Ye was a mortal.

From a distance, Zhao Tianyue, Sect Master of the Ancestral Soul Sect, and others revealed strange expressions upon hearing Ding Ye’s words. Many of the so-called Immortal Venerable cultivators just felt that Great Immortal Venerable Ding Ye was being too humble, excessively humble!

Blood Cloud Sect Leader Liang Di shook his head repeatedly and thought to himself: Damn, conjuring a flying rock weighing tens of thousands of tons, instantly killing the powerful Sect Leader of the Ghost Servant Sect, Ling Yingzi, and in an instant, annihilating all the powerful demons of the Ghost Servant Sect. If this kind of power is still mortal, then what kind of power does the strong force that Great Immortal Venerable Ding Ye refers to wield? If you, Ding Ye, Great Immortal Venerable, call yourself mortal, then what should we, who have been cultivating for decades or even centuries, call ourselves? Weakling mortals? Trash mortals? Mortal Lite?

Clearly,

although the current words of Ding Ye were truly candid,

not a single soldier of the Great Yan Kingdom nor cultivator among the Eight Great Immortal Sects would believe he was speaking the truth!

Standing next to Ding Ye, Liang Yucheng pondered for a long time after hearing Ding Ye speak and then hesitantly clasped his hands respectfully toward Ding Ye, saying, "Ding... Ding Ye, Great Immortal Venerable, we’re not afraid, it’s just... it’s just that we have never been so close to such a powerful Immortal Venerable like yourself, we really don’t know how to interact with you, nor do we know what to say!"

Seeing Liang Yucheng’s demeanor,

Ding Ye sighed and said nothing further,

at this moment, he still wished to interact with Liang Yucheng, Wei Hong, Hong Futian and others as he always did... but he understood that these people would never be as relaxed and natural as before, cracking jokes, casually putting arms around each other, casually calling each other by names!

Even if he had only just begun cultivation and was performing Immortal Techniques for the first time, he understood clearly that there is a distinction between Immortal and Mortal... Not to mention Liang Yucheng, Wei Hong, and Hong Futian, even if the President of the Great Yan Kingdom saw him in the future, he would be just as respectful and awed as Liang Yucheng and the others!

This is a distinction in life levels, like a rabbit before a lion, it will never feel relaxed and natural, facing a terrifying power that is countless times beyond its own, facing someone who can crush it with just a little finger, how could it possibly relax!

He hoped that after more contact with Liang Yucheng, Wei Hong, Hong Futian and others in the future, they would know he still treats them as friends as before, and they would be better, a little more relaxed when facing him. Otherwise, in the future, when he’s with these guys, if he casually makes a joke, they might be scared to tears! As for today, having just witnessed him perform such earth-shattering Immortal Techniques, they probably wouldn’t be able to relax no matter what!

With a shake of his head and a sigh, Ding Ye looked around and inadvertently glanced at Lin Xuankong, his eyes moving involuntarily at the sight.

At this moment, in the entire camp, whether they were ordinary soldiers of the Great Yan Kingdom or Immortal Venerables from the Eight Great Immortal Sects, when they looked at him, it was either in awe and reverence or with a friendly, ingratiating expression, yet this Lin Qiang... was unexpectedly relaxed, not only was there no trace of reverence on his face, but his eyes also carried a sense of closeness, even a hint of joy?

This guy is a bit odd!

Is he genuinely unafraid, or is there some other reason?

Feeling puzzled, Ding Ye approached Lin Xuankong, and asked tentatively, "Brother Lin, what do you think of the Immortal Technique I just performed, how was its effect, its power?"

Seeing his first disciple’s excellent performance, Lin Xuankong naturally felt some joy, which represented that his own judgment was indeed good. However, upon hearing Ding Ye ask this, Lin Xuankong, as a master, was still a bit dissatisfied!

This little fellow seems to have become a bit proud from the performance just now? Or might he be intentionally testing me as his master?

Lin Xuankong’s eyes flickered a few times, his face showing a slight smile as he nodded slightly, "Such an Immortal Technique, on this planet, should, probably be invincible, it’s fairly well done!"

Should be invincible?

Should?

Probably?

Fairly well done?

The present Liang Yucheng, Wei Hong, Hong Futian, Huang Jiu, Miao Yun Lake and others’ faces all changed color upon hearing this, as if they were looking at a madman when they looked at Lin Xuankong.

With a wave of the hand, earth-shattering, tens of thousands of tons of giant rocks could be sent floating in the sky, making the earth tremble like an earthquake and directly annihilating the powerful Immortal Venerables of the Ghost Servant Sect and Sect Leader Ling Yingzi. Such an Immortal Technique, even in mythological tales, could be considered top tier, almost the power humans imagine belonging truly to gods!

Yet such an Immortal Technique, such power, such effect, in this guy’s mouth, is merely thought to be invincible, merely ’fairly well done’!

Is this guy crazy, mentally unstable, has he been scared silly by the aura of Ding Ye, Great Immortal Venerable, who approached?

Good heavens, if Ding Ye, Great Immortal Venerable, holds him accountable for this statement, and another set of such Immortal Techniques comes, we mortals might be caught in crossfire and smashed into pieces!

Liang Yucheng, Wei Hong, Hong Futian, Huang Jiu and others’ hearts raced wildly; secretly shaking their heads at Lin Xuankong one by one, Huang Jiu couldn’t help but secretly gesture to Lin Xuankong, indicating for him to quickly kneel down and kowtow in worship to Ding Ye, Great Immortal Venerable!

Miao Yun Lake was greatly surprised, extremely terrified, grabbed Lin Xuankong’s arm, shook her head at him repeatedly, gave him a hard look, and then plopped down to kneel before Ding Ye, saying repeatedly, "Ding Ye, Great Immortal Venerable, above, this child of mine has always had a screw loose! He’s never seen such a peerless Immortal like Ding Ye, Great Immortal Venerable, nor has he seen such earth-shattering methods just now, so he’s scared silly and uttered nonsense! I hope, as a true celestial being, you do not hold such a fool accountable, spare his life!

While kowtowing, Miao Yun Lake’s heart pounded like a drum, fearing that Ding Ye might become angry because of Lin Xuankong’s ’nonsense’ and directly crush Lin Xuankong to death!
