As a result, he encountered Grandmaster Ha Ha in the deep mountains and forests. After losing a wagered duel, he conceded defeat and took the master as his teacher. In a fit of resignation, he shaved his head to become a monk, and only then did he truly betray and renounce his former mentor.
In the beginning, he comforted himself by saying, "Grandmaster Ha Ha was one of the famous Five Freaks and Three Demons a thousand years ago, with vast divine skills and boundless mana. His strength was not less than that of the Cosmic Six Strange. If he could completely learn his master's cultivation techniques and combine them with his own "Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture," practicing both righteous and evil methods, his power would surely surge. In the future, he could return to the mountain, defeat Qi Shuming, and restore his own reputation."
