I Might Be A Fake Cultivator - Chapter 1955
Chapter 1955: Teacher Ancient Dragon Empress’ Arduous Mission
Xuanyuan Cheng was right.
The Four Nine Immortal Sect was powerful enough to crush the four great sects and the Heavenly Court combined.
They could even compare with powers that had Gods of Creation among their ranks.
An Lin had disclosed how terrifying their enemies were to their new comrades, but not only were they not scared, they were filled with battle intent.
This was quite an unexpected turn of events, but it was undoubtedly a good one.
He then contacted the Ancient Dragon Empress via voice transmission talisman.
The voice transmission soon connected, and the Ancient Dragon Empress’ voice sounded from the other side.
“Hey, An Lin, what’s up?”
“Hello, Teacher Ancient Dragon Empress, I recruited nine comrades who want to join our heaven crushing endeavor, so it would be great if you could come and teach them heaven crushing true intent and techniques…”
The Ancient Dragon Empress sat bolt upright from her deathbed at the Land of Eternal Light.
“Again?!” she exclaimed in shock.
She was still recovering from last time! That Little Rabbit from last time had beaten her to the extent that she was doubting her purpose in life, and An Lin was now asking her to instruct nine new students? Was he trying to kill her?!
An Lin was startled by the Ancient Dragon Empress’ reaction. “Teacher Ancient Dragon Empress, are you alright?”
“I… I’m fine…” The Ancient Dragon Empress calmed herself down.
She wanted to refuse. After all, she had sworn to herself that she would never instruct any of An Lin’s comrades ever again. However, this was a good chance to strengthen the Heaven Crushing Sect, so she simply couldn’t refuse. She had to do this for the Heaven Crushing Sect as well as the entire world.
The Ancient Dragon Empress asked with an uneasy expression, “What are your friends’ cultivation bases?”
“Their cultivation bases aren’t very high,” An Lin replied.
The Ancient Dragon Empress heaved a sigh of relief.
An Lin continued, “Six of them are at the pinnacle of the Dao Integration Stage while three are at the Dao Integration Intermediate Stage.”
The Ancient Dragon Empress almost threw up a mouthful of blood.
Not very high? You call this not very f*cking high?!
If she didn’t use any Heaven Crushing Techniques, they would be able to beat her to death!
“Don’t worry, Teacher Ancient Dragon Empress. All of them are very obedient, so they won’t stir up any trouble,” An Lin immediately reassured.
The Ancient Dragon Empress thought about this for a moment. These were all Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures and not Gods of Creation, so the tragedy from last time shouldn’t be replicated. Thus, she agreed after a moment of hesitation.
“Alright, tell them to wait for me at the Four Nine Immortal Sect. I’ll come over.” The Ancient Dragon Empress nodded.
An Lin gladly agreed to this.
This was onsite service once again.
Teacher Ancient Dragon Empress sure was thoughtful.
The nine Vermilion Birds and Bai Xiaohu sat obediently on the grasslands as they awaited their teacher.
An Lin had forgotten about Bai Xiaohu as he had always thought of her as a normal steed. Thankfully, Yang Yuan provided him with a reminder.
However, that was inconsequential.
There wasn’t really any difference between nine and ten anyway.
Whoosh.
A spatial rift appeared.
The tall and slender Ancient Dragon Empress emerged in her usual colorful dragon robe and a pair of red boots before arriving at the gate of the Four Nine Immortal Sect.
She was then greeted by the sight of nine extremely powerful Vermilion Birds and Bai Xiaohu bowing to her in unison.
“We pay our respects to Teacher Ancient Dragon Empress!”
“We’ll be in your care from now on, Teacher Ancient Dragon Empress!”
The Ancient Dragon Empress’ crimson eyes widened as a stunned expression appeared on her face.
She could sense that her bloodline was being oppressed by a primordial force.
This…
“Oh, I forgot to introduce them to you beforehand. These are the Vermilion Birds Nan Li, You Luo, Bing Xin…
“This is the daughter of White Tiger, Bai Xiaohu.”
An Lin immediately made an introduction.
The Ancient Dragon Empress drew a sharp intake of breath.
F*ck!
These living beings were all extremely closely related to the Holy Beasts!
How did An Lin manage to recruit them?!
Remain calm! Ancient Dragon Empress, you’re the teacher! You must remain calm and collected at all times!
The Ancient Dragon Empress kept on repeating this to herself internally in order to settle her turbulent emotions.
She forced an indifferent expression onto her face. “No matter who you once were, all of you only have one identity now; all of you are my students, understood? I hope you can work hard and learn as much as you can in the coming days!”
“Yes!” Bai Xiaohu responded.
“No! We are followers of Great Empress Vermilion Bird first and foremost, all other identities come after that!” Vermilion Bird Nan Li yelled.
“Don’t try to twist our hearts! You’re only our teacher, but our hearts and souls belong to Great Empress Vermilion Bird!” Vermilion Bird Fei Hua harrumphed coldly.
“Long live the Great Empress!”
“We pledge eternal loyalty to the Great Empress!”
The six Vermilion Bird Sages yelled in unison.
The Ancient Dragon Empress looked on with an astonished expression.
What the f*ck?! She was just saying that for effect, why were they taking her so seriously?
An Lin massaged his brows upon seeing this. These Vermilion Birds revered their Great Empress above all else, and no one could change that.
An Lin made his way over to the Ancient Dragon Empress and explained the situation to her.
The Ancient Dragon Empress was enlightened. “No problem, I can deal with this situation.”
Thus, the Ancient Dragon Empress resumed her career as a heaven crushing technique instructor.
“Listen up, the essence of heaven crushing true intent is to view the heavens like any other living being. All living beings can die or be destroyed, including this high and mighty, omnipresent heavens…”
The Ancient Dragon Empress began from basic theory.
She had thought that teaching theory would be the easiest part of her job, but she soon discovered that she was wrong.
It was often said that one had to be respectful toward their teachers. However, all of the Vermilion Birds were arrogant beyond belief, and their heads were tilted up so far into the sky that they were appraising her with their nostrils!
The Ancient Dragon Empress was about to explode with rage!
Furthermore, even as she was instructing them, all of the Vermilion Birds were regarding her with disdain and making jokes at her expense right before her eyes!
The Ancient Dragon Empress couldn’t take this any longer. “Is there something wrong with what I’m saying?”
Vermilion Bird Nan Li raised its proud head. “You say that the heavens are a paramount being and that in order to crush the heavens, we have to attain the true intent of destroying all things and vanquishing all limits. I don’t agree with that.”
All of the other Vermilion Birds immediately nodded in agreement.
The Ancient Dragon Empress’ lips twitched. “So what are your thoughts on this matter?”
Vermilion Bird Nan Li rustled its feathers and raised its head even further. “Great Empress Vermilion Bird Nan Li is the only paramount being! Things like the heavens have been crushed beneath Great Empress Vermilion Bird’s feet a long time ago! We just need to be led into battle by Great Empress Vermilion Bird!”
All of the other Vermilion Birds nodded incessantly to express their agreement.
Ancient Dragon Empress: “…”
The Ancient Dragon Empress was very depressed, and she really wanted to go into retirement.
Little Xiaolan was on her way here to assess the situation, and she almost tripped over when she heard what was being said.
Crushing the heavens beneath her feet?
What a load of bullsh*t! When had she ever done that?!
All of the Vermilion Birds adopted extremely reverent expressions at the sight of the little loli walking toward them.
They all sprawled to the ground and chanted in unison, “We pay our respects to Great Empress Vermilion Bird!”
