Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The moment his Master had entered, he began to talk about the secrets of the past era.
Is this the style of a hidden sect? I love it so much!
Ye Luo came back to his senses and bowed with cupped hands. “Master… I don’t understand, but I know that Master must be thinking for me. Please instruct me on what to do next.”
Chu Yuan originally wanted to say something, but his eyes lit up the moment he heard this.
Nice! This disciple is very smart.
He said casually, “Since you are my first disciple, I will naturally teach you how to do it. Hmm, let’s set a one-year Dao enlightenment plan. After that, I will teach you the next step.”
Yes, I will first make him try to comprehend the Dao for a year.
A year later, after the system reviews the sect, it won’t matter how much he may have comprehended.
Ye Luo had a puzzled look on his face as he asked, “May I ask what Dao enlightenment is, Master?”
Chu Yuan picked up the script that he had long thought of and replied calmly, “The so-called Dao… is complicated. It’s hard for you to comprehend it, so I’ll give you a simple explanation. The Dao is present in nature, among heaven and earth, and present in all living things. The Dao is the source of origin of everything. You, all the living beings, and I are part of the Dao! Luo’er, do you understand?”
If you can understand what I just said, then consider it my loss! At least, even I don’t understand it myself.
The highest level of hoodwinking was to hoodwink to the point where even the person speaking did not understand it himself.
He looked at Ye Luo’s confused expression and was very satisfied.
Ye Luo stood there in a daze, trying to recall what Chu Yuan had just said.
After a while, he bowed and said, “Then may I ask Master, how can I comprehend the Dao?”
“There are thousands of Daos, and all paths lead to the same destination. You just need to find the Dao that suits yourself!”
“Master, may I ask if your disciple can use the sword to gain enlightenment of the Dao?”
“Yes!”
“Master, may I ask what is the Dao of the Sword?”
“What you comprehend is your Dao. What you think of your Sword Dao will be what it is!”
“Then may I ask Master how to comprehend it?”
“How do you comprehend it… Bring your sword over, and let me show you. The rest will be up to you.”
Chu Yuan was starting to get a headache after this question and did not dare to let this disciple continue asking. He was afraid that if the other party continued asking, he would be exposed.
That was all he had.
If his disciple continued to ask more, he would definitely be exposed.
Ye Luo offered the sword with both hands.
Chu Yuan took the sword and unsheathed it.
His gaze fell on the sword.
This sword was glistening with cold light and exuded a sharp aura. It could be considered a good sword.
Chu Yuan looked at Ye Luo from the corner of his eyes and saw the anticipation in his eyes.
He became silent for a moment.
Did he know how to use a sword?
He had transmigrated here for less than half a month. How in the world would he know how to use a sword?
Nonetheless, he still needed to deceive this disciple of his. Regardless of whether he knew how to use a sword or not, he would still look just as awesome once he used his dharmic powers.
“Watch carefully,” Chu Yuan said in a low voice as his fingers tightened around his sword.
He glanced up at the sky, flicked his wrist, channeled all his power, and slashed toward the sky.
Boom!
An earth-shattering sound erupted as a sword projection that was tens of meters long blasted toward the heavens.
The terrifying might caused heaven and earth to dim in comparison.
This sword seemed as if it wanted to split heaven and earth apart. It slashed toward the heavens with an indomitable aura.
The layers of clouds in the sky were split apart with two rumbling sounds to reveal a wisp of dark blue.
Chu Yuan watched this scene, satisfied. He wiped his tears away without a trace and turned to look at Ye Luo, who was filled with shock and yearning.
He was satisfied.
Alright, alright.
This is definitely awesome enough.
My disciple is definitely fooled.
The reward of an increase of a small realm is already in my hands.
“Do you understand?” Chu Yuan said softly, with his back facing Ye Luo.
Ye Luo quickly recovered from his shock when he heard his Master’s words. He looked at his Master in confusion and shook his head. “Master, I… I am slow-witted and didn’t manage to understand.”
It’s good that you don’t understand.
Chu Yuan laughed in his heart.
Following that, he said indifferently, “If you don’t understand, then study it well. Master hopes that you can comprehend it within a year. I carved all of my Dao into the previous strike. Make sure to study it well and comprehend whatever you can.
“As long as you can comprehend one or two of them, you will be considered to have comprehended the Dao. If you can comprehend three or four of them, you will be considered a top-notch expert. If you can comprehend five or six of them… then you can go anywhere in the world!”
Bragging was free.
He could continue like this without a script.
Ye Luo’s eyes burned with passion when he heard this. He cupped his hands and said, “Master, what if I can comprehend it fully?”
Chu Yuan said angrily, “You’re biting off more than you can chew…
“If you comprehend it all, I will give you a sentence.
“You will be able to grasp the stars and pluck the sun and moon from the sky. You will be invincible in this world!
“Study it well. If there’s anything you don’t understand, come ask me.”
As soon as Chu Yuan finished speaking, a cloud formed beneath his feet, and he left gracefully and indifferently. However, there was a satisfied look in his eyes.
Especially when he saw the shocked Ye Luo on the spot, he was even more satisfied.
It looks like things are set in stone, he thought to himself.
Chu Yuan could not help but speed up.
He left the square in just a few breaths of time.
The speed of a Nascent Soul cultivator was not to be underestimated.
Chu Yuan flew at full speed and arrived at the back of a mountain outside the Daoless Sect in just a few minutes.
“This place should be hidden enough. That useless disciple of mine definitely can’t find this place…”
He had successfully fooled Ye Luo.
The next step was obviously to stall for time.
The longer it dragged on, the better.
That was why Chu Yuan had come to the back of the mountain. After Ye Luo realized that there was no progress, Chu Yuan knew that he would definitely come to look for him and ask him for his teachings.
Who asked him to casually say that Ye Luo could look for him if there was anything he did not understand?
How would he answer if Ye Luo asked him something he did not even understand?
Chu Yuan was not a proper cultivator, so how could he answer those questions?
Thus, he had decided to hide at the back of the mountain.
When the time came, Ye Luo would definitely not be able to find him. He would then be able to stall for some time.
This was a stalling tactic!
I’m really smart…
Next, I’ll stay here and wait for a month or two. When this disciple of mine gets impatient, I’ll just go and exchange a few more words with him…
Chu Yuan casually found a large rock and lay down, snoring under the sun.
On the other side…
After hearing Chu Yuan’s words, Ye Luo’s heart sank into great shock.
Grasping the stars and even plucking the sun and moon from the sky. At that point in time, he would be invincible in this world!
This tone…
Is this how Master really is?
Is this the true power of a hidden sect?
I love it so much!
With such an expert guiding me, I definitely can’t waste the opportunity.
He wanted to comprehend the Dao!
Ye Luo sat cross-legged and raised his head to look at the sky. His eyes were wide open as he stared fixedly at the clouds that had been split apart. He wanted to comprehend something from it.
He just stared at the sky.
One hour…
Two hours…
When he was hungry, he would take out some dry rations to eat. When he was thirsty, he would take out a water bottle to drink.
Time slowly passed.
The sun fell from the west while the crescent moon rose from the east. While this process was repeating itself, Ye Luo was still staring at the sky.
