Great Master, Calm Thyself

In a dark room, a peerless and otherworldly beauty can be seen in a lotus position in the middle of the room, slowly meditating. Her jade white skin contrasted the dark room and the faint amount of light entering the room gave her an otherworldly feel, like a picture from a painting.

It was not known how long she has stayed in this position as dust has already accumulated all over her body. But despite this, she showed no signs of moving. If not for her faint breathing movements, one might have already mistaken her for being a statue.

Yun Xie slowly opened her eyes. She finally moved around and stretched her arms, making the dust fly all over the place. She silently cast a Dirt Cleansing Art to remove the dust around her. She raised her hands, fluttering the sleeves of her white robe and the candles immediately lit up and filled the entire place with light. She took a bizarre looking book on her desk and hid it inside her robes.

She went to another room and saw that her only disciple is also silently meditating. She nodded her head, satisfied.

Yun Xie was about to laze around when she suddenly frowned. Using her divine sense, she felt the presence of many people gathering on the bottom of her Heavenly Jade Peak. She clicked her tongue, and with a flutter of her sleeves, she instantly floated high above them, standing like a goddess descending from the ninth heaven.

'So this is the strongest person in this world... The Great Grand Master, Yun Xie...' Many younger disciples were stunned by her beauty and a faint blush appeared on their faces, but the older sect heads who know her personality and have been witnesses to what chaos she did before she went into closed door cultivation can only feel pity to the innocent and could only shake their heads in their hearts.

"This disciple greets grandmaster!" Everyone kowtowed when she appeared, delight and fear showing in their eyes.

"Grandmaster, save us!" The sect heads chorused in pleading.

Yun Xie stared at them impassively like an aloof immortal. Seeing her like this, it was as if no one can escape her gaze. Anyone who looks at her eyes will have even their deepest secrets known by her. They felt petrified with the pressure coming out of her.

But only Yun Xie knows what she's truly thinking.

'Who the hell are these people.'

All cultivators in front of her does not know what she is thinking, but her gaze made them feel as if they were thrown into an eternal blizzard.

This grand master of theirs is known to have a volatile personality. No one can predict anything she does. She's sometimes extremely violent, even exploding a mountain just because she feels like it. There would often be explosions wherever she went! But, they have no choice but to bow down to her. She's the strongest person in this world! Her master has now gone missing, no one can control her anymore!

If it was other people, the sect heads would be pissed by this display of arrogance, but she is the Esteemed Grandmaster, Yun Xie!

It has already been hundreds of years when Yun Xie secluded herself in the Heavenly Jade Peak after her master disappeared. It is not known whether her master is still alive, has ascended, or died. But the moment her master disappeared, she immediately wreaked havoc to relieve boredom, then suddenly went into closed door cultivation after initiating a war with the Demon Race and Demon Cultivators.

The elders sighed in relief when she stopped. The war has ended, and it was peaceful at first, but then, the demonic cultivators suddenly raised another war. It seemed that they were successful in unsealing a demon god and wanted to retaliate to Yun Xie for their losses.

At first, the sect head came to Heavenly Jade Peak to plead but the barrier did not allow them entrance. Thus, they have no choice but to fight. They were the number one sect in this world, the Ancient Dragon Sect, so they were not defeated easily.

But against a god, what can they do!?

Now, most of the cultivators have already fallen and they are on the verge of defeat. A lot of sect were destroyed, and many had fled to the Ancient Dragon Sect to plead for help. But even them cannot do anything. Filled with despair, they have already lost hope and as a last choice, they tried to plead Yun Xie.

But who might have thought that she would actually come out!?

Yun Xie, upon seeing the sea of people, frowned. She does not know what is currently happening. Noticing this, the oldest sect head that is most familiar with her stood up, kneeling in front of her and explain, "The demon cultivators has successfully unsealed the Demon God Adelram. The barrier cannot hold on for long. Grand Master, please save us!"

"Please save us!"

The cultivators started to kowtow again, and the others followed. They wanted to curse at Yun Xie, 'This is the war you started, please stop it!' but they can't win against her and just swallowed these words.

Yun Xie suddenly had the urge to strike a heavenly thunder to these old men because of their piercing cries. She suddenly felt pissed. No one likes a choir sang by old men yapping, she doesn't even understand a thing they are saying like this!

She released her tremendous pressure, making everyone limp on the ground. Those with lower cultivation already become unconscious, blood flowing out through their seven orifices.

The cultivators can do nothing but grit their teeth and endure the pain.

When they became silent again, she poked her ear in annoyance, then suddenly disappeared to escape the wails of old men. When she disappeared, everyone was left kowtowing in the ground, wiping their cold sweat. They circulated their Qi and their hearts started pounding, 'The grand master is really weird.. and scary!'

'Did she agree.. or what?!'

While they were thinking so, she appeared high above them again, making their Qi get out of control due to fright.

She gave no care about this and showed them an unknown book. "Do you know what this is?"

She shoved the book in the face of a sect head. The poor sect head shook his head, his back already drenched in sweat. His face pale, "This.. this humble one does not know."

She then raised her chin, coldly scanning her eyes through all the people and asked, "Then why are you all here? And why are there people lying on the ground? Scram! My peak does not accept loungers!"

"…"

The sect heads do not know how to retort. She was the one who made them unconscious! Is this her way of joking?! We really don't understand how the minds of the strong work.. She's just like her master!

Heavenly Jade Peak is full of weirdos!

Since the book is on her hands again, Yun Xie opened it and scanned each page. Each page of this mysterious book contained illustrations with human-like characters, and words that she did not understand, yet it was still strangely interesting. Even when she does not the words, the pictures can already speak for themselves. They are drawn vividly and each scene feels alive. There were even times when she can feel her heart thump during particular scenes in the book.

But, the language used is not the only strange thing she does not know. Except for the human-like drawings that have the same features as them, everything is different from what she knows. For example, the places, the clothes, and the items. There was even a huge chunk of moving metal. It's like from a different world.

Seeing that their Great Grand Master is absorbed in reading that bizarre book, they glanced at each other. Time is already limited, the entire Cultivation World might be destroyed anytime soon! Even if they are scared, they have no choice but to take this chance!

"Grand master, the demon—" The sect head explained again, but Yun Xie's mind has already started drifting away. Then, she frowned when she realized the barrier is slowly weakening. She fluttered her sleeves and disappeared in front of the Ancient Dragon Sect cultivators.

Seeing her disappear without hearing them out, the sect heads wanted to vomit blood. They feel like their thousand years of life is slowly draining away from them!

Yun Xie went back to her peak, sending her divine sense to inspect the whole mountain. She formed complex hand seals and the barrier regained its strength. She continued creating hand seals and the already 'invincible' barrier become stronger.

Yun Xie decided to go out of the sect to see what's going on. The moment she stepped outside, she was greeted by a horde of demon cultivators and on the other side, even high-ranking demonic beasts.

"Yun Xie!! She.. She's alive?!" A demon cultivator shouted. At first, all of them were frightened, but when they remembered that they have the demon god Adelram with them, their fear was immediately replaced with pride. They looked down at Yun Xie and scoffed.

"Your reign has come to an end, Yun Xie!" A demonic cultivator grinned.

The other cultivators only looked at him with mixed emotions. '...Is this really okay?'

They hesitated at first but immediately chimed in. They all shared a look and attacked Yun Xie in unison.

Seeing that they are looking down on her, Yun Xie raised her finger and many huge heavenly lightning fell down on those cultivators, charring them pitch-black.

'We take it back! We are sorry!!!!!'

After seeing the despairing looks of the demon cultivators, Yun Xie smiled, satisfied. But that still didn't end the barrage of heavenly lightning.

They couldn't help but be awestruck at seeing her might. They all know that just a single heavenly lightning can immediately drain a person, but this... This person can actually summon a lot of them without batting an eye!

The demons gradually retreated. The sect heads noticed this and rejoiced, but then a lightning also indiscriminately struck them, although its power is less than the lightning striking the demon cultivators it still hurt a lot.

Yun Xie smiled. "Hehe, that's for nagging me, you old men! Be reincarnated into beautiful lotuses or flower boys before yapping!"

The sect heads wanted to retort but they held back. Right now, she is their only hope.

She pulled out a chair out of her space, and lazily sat there while killing the demonic cultivators left and right. She supported her chin with her left hand. "...I'm bored now."

The demonic cultivators and everyone who heard this didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.

While her right hand is forming hand seals to strike the demonic cultivators, she took a book from her robes. It was the unknown book from before. She opened it and slowly scanned the images for the nth time.

'Ah. This book is really great. I hope I know what it says..'

There are some words that she is already familiar with by taking them from context, but she still couldn't understand most of it. While she is enjoying the book, she noticed that a demon cultivator was staring at the book with strange eyes.

She brought down the book and raised her eyebrows. "You know this?"

"W-well.. I saw the Great Demon God Adelram holding one.."

Although it has a different cover, it's almost like the same.

"No way!" Yun Xie's lips curved into a wide smile, eyes sparkling with mirth. "Take me to him!"
