Humanity’s Great Sage

n battles of a cultivator were intricately tied to Glyphs.
It was why few cultivators were unfamiliar with Glyphs.
Some were even proficient enough with Glyphs to construct them.
That said, they were still worlds apart from true Glyphweavers.

 

Take ward cultivators for example.
Technically speaking, ward cultivators could be viewed as a sub branch of Glyphweavers.
It was because ward-making was intricately tied to Glyphs.

 

While all Glyphweavers were excellent ward cultivators, not all ward cultivators were Glyphweavers.

 

By now, Lu Ye had figured out Lady Yun’s teaching strategy.
In essence, everything began from disassembly just like the time she had taught him Numbered Glyphs.
Lady Yun had never taught him how to construct an enhancement, but he had opened enough Restraining Locks to know the structure of a Restraining Lock by heart.
Given the right materials, he absolutely possessed the capabilities to create his own Storage Bag.
Of course, practice was still a factor, and his success rate was going to be subpar until he became familiar with the process.

 

This was why Lady Yun’s teaching strategy was so impressive.
She had taught him destruction before creation, and that destruction naturally led to creation!

 

The reason Lu Ye was capable of constructing enhancements he had never learned to construct before was because disassembling them required him to know every component of the enhancement.

 

Take his current lesson for example.
Lady Yun was only teaching him how to breach a ward, but in the process he came to know how a ward was created and how every component functioned and worked in tandem with one another.
By the time he knew a ward well enough to breach them perfectly, the way to create them had also been engraved to his memory.

 

Meanwhile, Lady Yun was wearing a complex expression as Lu Ye was breaching another one of her wards.

 

Lu Ye wasn’t the first disciple she had instructed, but this was the first time she employed such a teaching strategy.
While it shortened the learning period considerably, it only worked if the disciple was inhumanly talented in the Way of Glyphs.
Otherwise, it would only have the opposite effect.

 

At first, she wasn’t sure if the teaching strategy was suited for Lu Ye either.
She was ready to switch back to a normal teaching strategy the moment he showed any signs of struggle.
The normal teaching strategy was slow, but at least it was a failsafe method.

 

As it turned out, the genius-only teaching strategy suited Lu Ye very well.
In fact, he was so talented that the thought of taking him as her official disciple resurfaced in her mind once more.

 

All of her previous students had passed away for one reason or another.
For a master Glyphweaver like her, there were few things sadder than not having a successor.

 

She was certain that the youngster before her would be able to carry her mantle.
Not only that, he would definitely surpass her and attain greater heights!

 

These thoughts kept tickling the insides of her heart until one day, she could stand it no longer.

 

While Lu Ye was busy breaching a ward, she left the Summit of Clarity and flew toward the Summit of Fortitude.

 

The Sect Master was teaching Yi Yi a lesson when suddenly, he looked in the direction of the Summit of Clarity.
He then said urgently, “Let’s end today’s lesson here.
Be sure to practice what I’ve taught you when you head back to the Outpost.”

 

“Yes, Sect Master!” Yi Yi replied respectfully.

 

When she looked up, she saw the Sect Master rushing away in a hurry and calling out in a flattering voice, “What brings you here today, Yun’er?”

 

[Yun’er?] Yi Yi thought in puzzlement.
She followed the Sect Master into a clearing and found him speaking to an unfamiliar, but beautiful woman she had never seen before.
The woman was staring at the Sect Master with a cold expression, and the Sect Master had transformed from stern teacher to what she could only describe as an obsequious husband.

 

[Oh, she must be Lady Yun!] Yi Yi thought suddenly.
Lu Ye had mentioned her in the past, and even Amber had spoken to her about Lady Yun.
Lu Ye always rode it to the Summit of Clarity after all.
The tiger had even met her in person a couple of times.

 

“Shh!” 

 

Shui Yuan appeared out of nowhere and pulled a surprised Yi Yi into her room.
Then, she poked a hole in the window’s paper pane and peeked out.
The young girl did the same thing.

 

Suddenly, Shui Yuan said, “The old man’s about to get a beating.”

 

“What?”

 

That was all Yi Yi managed to say before the seemingly prim and proper Lady Yun punched the Sect Master in the face so hard that it threw his head backward.
She could even see a shockwave spreading out from the point of impact.

 

Yi Yi shivered like a leaf.
That punch had looked powerful enough to shatter a mountain.

 

Yi Yi had no idea why Lady Yun had punched the Sect Master, but she was surprised that the old man wasn’t angry in the slightest.
He wiped his nosebleed, as if he hadn’t just been punched in the face and sighed.
“Yi Ye is a Crimson Blood Sect disciple now.
He can’t just accept an outsider as his teacher willy-nilly.”

 

“Willy-nilly?” Lady Yun’s voice rose an octave higher.
“Outsider? You’re calling me an outsider?”

 

“T-that’s not what I meant! I—”

 

“I see now! I’m nothing more but an outsider to you, huh?” The more Lady Yun spoke, the angrier she became.
Spiritual Power started boiling around her.
“In that case, this outsider would like to learn a thing or two from the Sect Master of the Crimson Blood Sect!”

 

Boom boom boom… More shockwaves impacted the room and shook some furniture.
Yi Yi could only watch as the Sect Master was physically beaten into the sky and out of sight.

 

When she ran out of the room to watch, she saw the two figures chasing one another as if they were playing hide and seek.
From time to time, the duo would generate an impact powerful enough to rock the ground, but it was always Lady Yun hitting the Sect Master in some part of his body.
Sometimes he defended, but not once did he try to retaliate against Lady Yun.

 

Shui Yuan let out an audible sigh, and Yi Yi asked worriedly, “She wouldn’t beat the Sect Master to death, would she?”

 

“Don’t worry, the old man’s tougher than he looks.
Also, this happens at least a couple of times per year, so you’ll get used to it eventually.”

 

Yi Yi looked confused.
To her knowledge, the Sect Master was just a spell cultivator.
Could he really survive such a brutal beating? Also, what did she mean by “this happens at least a couple of times per year”?

 

Suddenly, she thought that the Sect Master was really lucky to have lived to this day.
