Soon the patriarch led Omis towards the small wooden house located at the top of the mountain, following behind were the Bai clan's elder. The third elder was not present nor were the twin elders, yet the patriarch pushed that thought away for now as in front of him was none other than Immortal Mentor! He took a deep breath to Contain his excitement before respectfully pointing at the small house.

"Do please accept our humble abode senior, had we know beforehand we would have made the necessary preparations for you."

Looking around the mountain top, Omis nodded while casually waving his hand before speaking

"No matter." As he approached the wooden house he soon came to a halt, earning puzzled looks from the elders and patriarch as they saw him move one at the space in front of him. The finger seemed to blur for a sec seemingly blinking in and out of existence before a giant majestic formation shaped like a dome emerged covering the entire mountain, above it, another layer emerged encompassing the entirety of the Bai clan along with it's surrounding lands.

Looking at their clan's secret formation seemingly weaving into existence at the wave of a finger, the patriarch felt a drop of cold sweat run down his spine. The others may not know what just happened but he did, he turned around to look at his elders all of whom had expressions of shock on their faces before he took another deep breath while circulating his qi to calm him down.

"Hmmm not bad, so this level of formations survived," Leisurely spoke Omis as he proceeded to enter the small wooden house as if it was his not waiting for the Patriarch or elders to react before they hurried after him.

The patriarch's mind was in turmoil, the formation Omis had just activated was their clan's ultimate trump card, one with origins so mysterious even he did not know of. What he did know was that when activated the formation had the power to hold off someone with the cultivation base of late-stage Half-Immortal! With such tremendous power, the clan was never in a dire situation where they were forced to use it. This was their last line of defense! Just activating it requires the help of the patriarch and at least four elders for it to be used at full potential! It was impossible for anyone other then him the head of the clan to activate it, yet just now in front of his eyes, the Immortal Mentor took nothing but the wave of a finger to activate and deactivate it at will!! 'W-what did he say not bad? What did he mean by this level?!'

"A-as expected of senior! Your strength truly knows no bounds for you to see through and use our Bai clan's defense formation at will, I'm in awe!" Quickly spoke the patriarch following behind him the elders also seemed to compose themselves.

"Truly worthy of being called the Immortal Mentor!"

"Your knowledge is indeed inestimable honored senior!"

"Indeed! I stand humbled in your presence senior!"

Hearing the various compliments being thrown at him made Omis rather uncomfortable as he quickly waved his hand at them to stop, and as if on cue as soon as they saw him do that all the elders turned silent, satisfied Omis then made his way inside and with the patriarch's ushering situated himself at the head position. Sitting in the lotus position, he gently closed his eyes in deep thought.

Looking at the celestial in front of them, an level of unprecedented pressure descended on everyone's hearts. He may have retracted his aura yet they could still feel it. The natural aura of a transcended being! Very little was known about celestial, all such knowledge almost all destroyed along with them. Yet it was without a doubt, that the one in front of them was the most famous. His statues were spread all across the earthly with millions worshipping him, he had many names some called him the benevolent celestial, others hailed him as the God of knowledge, yet one name was agreed on by all, The Immortal mentor!

Looking at the seemingly young handsome young man seated in front of him, the patriarch soon found himself thinking about such things, All his titles are scholarly ones... he thought, yet none mentioned anything about his fighting prowess!

Feeling the invisible aura pressing in on them, the patriarch soon confirmed one thing. This was not the pressure of someone who had not seen battle, no this was the aura of someone who walked thousands of battlefields and killed thousands of others! The patriarch soon found himself chuckling while thinking 'Of course, what did I expect from someone who ascended?' the Things he must have experienced were probably more then any of them could imagine. How many people back in the previous era dreamed of ascending yet never making it? How many died along the way? How many corpses did he have to stand on before achieving what he had now? 'Perhaps that's why he choose the path of a mentor! He must have become tired of the bloodshed so he descended to help the pave way to the mortals! To help them avoid all such sorrows and pain!' As soon as his train of thought reached this, the patriarch felt as if he was enlightened! He felt that for the first time, the path that had been so foggy for him had started to clear out! He could see it! He could see the way!

Looking at Omis, his eyes that were wary a few minutes ago turned into ones full of admiration and worship, he had finally understood! And it was all thanks to the mentor in front of him! They did not exchange any words, yet he felt as if this was exactly what the mentor must have wanted! he could feel his cultivation rising! Jumping down to kowtow, the sound of his head hitting the ground broke the deafening silence, the elders stood in shock and confusion before the patriarch spoke.

"Thank you, esteemed senior! Thanks to your guidance I can finally see the way I should take! Junior thanks the Immortal mentor!"

Hearing their patriarch, the elders stood in shock their mouths open agape as realization dawned upon them. They did not know what the mentor had done, yet they could feel the changes in the patriarch's cultivation base, the bottleneck he was stuck for countless years seemed to be cleared, looking back at the celestial seated at the front who slowly opened his eyes as he looked at the patriarch before gently nodding.

"Hmmm"

Hearing that the patriarch's eyes grew even brighter as he continued to kowtow, soon the elders followed suit as they dropped to their knees in worship. Looking at the scene in front of him only one thought was in Omis's mind 'What the fuck?!'
