nAt the Daoless Sect…

n

n

nChu Yuan met up with Ye Luo and told him that he was going down the mountain to settle some matters before preparing to leave.

n

n

n

n

nAfter all, time did not wait for him.

n

n

nAfter discovering that his strength was still very weak, Chu Yuan had the thought of taking in even more “trash” disciples.

n

n

nGrooming a useless disciple was equivalent to an increase of a small realm for himself.

n

n

nIf he managed to groom three, he would gain an increase of a major realm in cultivation!

n

n

n

n

nIt would be soon before he managed to achieve it!

n

n

nSoon, he would be invincible!

n

n

nEverything was under his control!

n

n

nAt the mountain gate…

n

n

n

n

nThe breeze blew gently, and the clouds lingered.

n

n

nYe Luo accompanied Chu Yuan to the mountain gate, and the two of them stood there.

n

n

nChu Yuan looked at the clouds outside the mountain gate and said nothing. His white clothes fluttered in the wind. He looked like a carefree immortal with his hands behind his back.

n

n

nYe Luo stood at the side and hesitated for a moment before he said, “Master, I’ve already comprehended a trace of the Dao that Master left behind and integrated it into my sword moves. Please guide me!”

n

n

nHe has managed to comprehend it?

n

n

nWhat have you comprehended? Please don’t tell me that you’ve comprehended hypochondria while sitting there every day?

n

n

n

n

nChu Yuan suddenly had a thought.

n

n

nIf my disciple is suffering from hypochondria, is it still considered as having groomed a useless disciple?

n

n

nWill I still be able to obtain my cultivation reward?

n

n

nI suppose so, right?

n

n

nForget it then. It’s good for him to have hypochondria as well. Otherwise, he might get too frustrated over not being able to comprehend anything despite sitting there alone every day.

n

n

nChu Yuan immediately felt relieved with that thought. He smiled faintly and said, “There’s no need. I know what you’ve comprehended. What you’ve comprehended now is only the tip of an iceberg.

n

n

n“You haven’t comprehended the true essence yet. You’ll only truly understand my intentions if you continue looking at the sky. Alright, I’ll take my leave first. Try to comprehend it well, and don’t slack off!”

n

n

nAfter saying that, a cloud formed under his feet, and he tore through the sky in a carefree manner.

n

n

n

n

nHowever, he sighed in his heart.

n

n

nI have only been hoodwinking my dear disciple for such a short period. Yet, he is already suffering from hypochondria.

n

n

nSigh…

n

n

nBut hypochondria is good too. This way, the situation will be more stable. This disciple of mine is definitely a goner already. I just need to wait for the review to get my cultivation reward.

n

n

nA smile appeared on Chu Yuan’s face upon thinking that, and he sped down the mountain.

n

n

nAs for Ye Luo, he had fallen into deep thought after hearing Chu Yuan’s words.

n

n

nHe naturally did not doubt his Master’s words.

n

n

nThus, he had been pondering his Master’s words the entire time.

n

n

nWhat he had comprehended was only the tip of an iceberg…

n

n

nIf it was according to the scene he had witnessed in the past—the one with the thousands of chains and Dao insights in the sky—what he had comprehended was indeed only the tip of an iceberg.

n

n

nPerhaps not even the tip of an iceberg.

n

n

nHowever, what’s the true essence that Master mentioned?

n

n

nLook at the sky?

n

n

n

n

nYe Luo looked up. The sky was bright, and the sun was scorching.

n

n

nThe sunlight was blinding…

n

n

nOther than that, he did not discover anything else.

n

n

nHowever, it was impossible for his Master to lie to him. He had already comprehended the Dao and learned of the secrets of his body from the Hall of Impartation.

n

n

nWas anyone still thinking that his Master was lying to him?

n

n

nNo way, no way…

n

n

nYe Luo’s heart was filled with confusion as he returned to the main hall’s square and sat down cross-legged. He endured the glaring sun and continued to look at the sky.

n

n

nHis Master would not lie to him.

n

n

nLook at the sky more…

n

n

nHe wanted to understand his Master’s intentions!

n

n

nI can’t let Master down!

n

n

nYe Luo calmed down and looked at the sky.

n

n

nTwo hours passed…

n

n

nUnfortunately, he found nothing.

n

n

nNonetheless, he was not impatient. His comprehension of the Dao these days and the nourishment of the golden characters had changed his mental state.

n

n

nFour hours passed…

n

n

nStill no clue.

n

n

nSix hours later…

n

n

nThe sky was already dark.

n

n

nYe Luo was still staring at the sky with his eyes wide open.

n

n

nAt that moment, his mind suddenly shook as a wave of clarity washed over him.

n

n

nHe couldn’t help but close his eyes.

n

n

nWhen he opened his eyes again, the sky had changed drastically. All the clouds and stars in the sky had disappeared. There was only the pitch-black sky.

n

n

nYe Luo looked at the sky. It was as if he was facing the entire world.

n

n

nHe felt insignificant and minuscule.

n

n

nWas this Master’s intention? The sky is huge, unimaginably huge…

n

n

nHe had only witnessed the tip of the iceberg, yet he was so pleased with himself that he wanted to showcase his abilities in front of his Master.

n

n

nThat’s why Master reminded me…

n

n

nMaster, I have understood!

n

n

nYe Luo understood.

n

n

nAt the same time, golden characters flickered in his heart, and a thought appeared.

n

n

nThe strength of a man is always inferior to the power of the heavens. Why not borrow the power of the heavens to enable myself to become stronger?

n

n

nYe Luo drew his sword and closed his eyes.

n

n

nIn the next moment, he swung his sword.

n

n

nBuzz…

n

n

nThere was no sharpness to speak of in this strike. It landed lightly.

n

n

nHowever, endless sword cries rang out, and sword winds howled.

n

n

nFortunately, there was no one there.

n

n

nIf someone were to witness this scene, they would be scared to death because this slash… was targeted not at a person but at one’s heart!

n

n

nUsing a sword to cut off one’s Dao Heart!

n

n

nClang!

n

n

nYe Luo’s face turned pale as he fell to the ground. The sword clattered to the ground while a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

n

n

nHe understood what his Master meant. He had also figured out a new sword move.

n

n

nHis Master would definitely be delighted to know that he had understood it so quickly.

n

n

nYe Luo then closed his eyes and rested.

n

n

nThe next morning…

n

n

nYe Luo woke up from hunger. He put away his sword, picked up the bag beside him, and realized that there were no more rations left.

n

n

nHe could not help but frown as there was no food in the sect—this was something that he had known.

n

n

nNow that his Master had left, what could he eat?

n

n

nYe Luo was puzzled.

n

n

nDid Master forget that I still have to eat?

n

n

nJust as Ye Luo thought of this, he rejected the idea immediately.

n

n

n“Master definitely can’t have forgotten to prepare food for me. Master definitely didn’t forget. Maybe Master did this on purpose. He wants me to handle my meals by myself. There should be some animals at the foot of the mountain. Let’s go down and take a look,” Ye Luo muttered to himself.

n

n

nIt just so happened that he did not know how strong the sword move he had just comprehended was. It would be good to go down the mountain and find some animals to test it out.

n

n

nHowever, based on his experience… it was likely that Qi Refining experts wouldn’t be able to block his sword strike. As for Foundation Establishment cultivators, they might be able to withstand it.

n

n

nHowever, he did not know the exact details.

n

n

nEven so, it was enough. He had yet to embark on the path of cultivation, but he had already surpassed the Qi Refinement stage!

n

n

nOne had to know that he had only entered the sect for less than two months. Yet, he had already reached such a stage. If he could cultivate in the future, how terrifying would that be?

n

n

nThe most important thing was that he still had several months to comprehend the Dao. When the time came, what kind of things would he comprehend?

n

n

nEverything may be unknown, but everything was possible under his Master’s guidance.

n

n

nIn any case, Ye Luo was extremely satisfied with his current combat strength. Although he was a mortal, he was superior to Qi Refining cultivators. He, Ye Luo, would definitely not be an embarrassment to the sect!
