nAt Sky Mist Mountain…
n
n
nThe clouds lingered and did not dissipate. It was a breathtaking sight.
n
n
n
n
nYe Luo was still sitting cross-legged in the square of the Daoless Sect’s main hall, observing the sky and comprehending the Dao. He could vaguely capture and comprehend the second golden chain in the sky. He had a feeling that when he comprehended the second golden chain, he would undergo some kind of transformation.
n
n
nHowever, although he had yet to comprehend the second golden chain, he had already undergone some changes after staring at the sky daily, especially when the golden characters constantly nourished him.
n
n
nYe Luo was transforming almost every day.
n
n
nHis aura had become more ethereal. At a glance, he seemed to have become one with heaven and earth.
n
n
n
n
nThere was a golden imprint that flickered on his forehead, seeming extraordinary.
n
n
nMaster is indeed Master. A mere sentence from him has allowed me to understand so much.
n
n
nYe Luo was deeply moved.
n
n
nHe had gained many insights while observing the sky during the past few days.
n
n
n
n
nThe sky was filled with traces of Dao. He would be able to understand the power of heaven and earth as long as he followed the traces.
n
n
nHe had slowly developed this method through experience and named it Heaven’s Viewing Technique!
n
n
nAs for how he had managed to comprehend such a technique, it was all due to his Master’s simple sentence: “Raise your head to look at the sky more.” This made him marvel at his Master’s profoundness.
n
n
nYe Luo heaved a sigh of relief. He then raised his head and looked in the direction outside the Sky Mist Mountain as he slowly spoke. “I wonder when Master will return. If Master knows that I’ve already comprehended what Master had explained, Master will definitely be very gratified, right?”
n
n
nWhen Ye Luo thought of his Master’s gratifying smile when he saw him, he felt that all the hard work he had put in was worth it!
n
n
nHe should never let down his Master!
n
n
n
n
nYe Luo smiled and drew his sword, practicing his swordplay in the square.
n
n
nThe longsword in his hand was brandished vigorously. Most importantly, when he wielded the sword, there was a natural charm to it. It was able to make the spectators feel intoxicated while watching him.
n
n
nWhat Ye Luo did not know was that with this charming sword technique of his, even ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators would not be able to last more than a few moves against him.
n
n
nBecause this charm came from the Dao that only existences at the Soul Formation stage possessed—the Dao Insight!
n
n
nIf outsiders saw this, they would be scared to death.
n
n
nYe Luo had yet to even enter the Qi Refinement stage, but he was already walking the path of a Soul Formation cultivator.
n
n
nHowever, Ye Luo didn’t know any of this at all. He was wholeheartedly dancing with the sword in his hand and brandishing it at an increasing speed. The sword lights linked together into a single line, and his Dao Insight was naturally formed.
n
n
nJust as Ye Luo was practicing his swordplay, his mind jolted. He once again entered a state of enlightenment.
n
n
n
n
nHe suddenly stopped whatever he was doing and sat down cross-legged.
n
n
nA golden chain descended from the sky and entered his forehead.
n
n
nIn an instant, new golden characters appeared in Ye Luo’s mind. These golden characters were as mysterious and obscure as ever.
n
n
nFortunately, the ethereal, cold voice that seemed to come from the heavens rang in his ears again, explaining the meaning of the golden characters.
n
n
nYe Luo quickly came to a realization. He closed his eyes tightly as his aura surged.
n
n
nThis time, the golden characters did not continue to strengthen his foundation, nor did they improve his mental state…
n
n
nThey taught him how to utilize his Dao Insight to form a slaughtering technique!
n
n
nThis bout of enlightenment lasted for several hours until the sky turned dark and the moon rose from the east.
n
n
nOnly then did Ye Luo’s enlightenment reach its end.
n
n
nHe slowly woke up, opened his eyes, and golden light flashed across his pupils.
n
n
n“So the thing I’ve comprehended is called Dao Insight. Dao Insight can be condensed into a slaughtering technique to carry out attacks.
n
n
n“Master had told me to raise my head and look at the sky. Perhaps, he didn’t mean for me to comprehend the Heaven’s Viewing Technique. The Heaven’s Viewing Technique was just a supplementary technique. Master’s original intention was probably to make me comprehend all the Daos as soon as possible!”
n
n
nI’ve only comprehended a tiny bit, yet I’ve already obtained such a great harvest. If I comprehended everything, how strong would I become?
n
n
n
n
nThis was what Ye Luo thought.
n
n
nHe looked up at the sky once again, and his mind suddenly jolted.
n
n
nNo!
n
n
nI have comprehended it wrongly!
n
n
nMaster didn’t mean for me to comprehend all the Daos.
n
n
nThe reason Master asked me to raise my head and look at the sky more should be because he wanted me to comprehend the Heaven’s Viewing Technique. On top of that, he must have also wanted me to comprehend the second golden chain!
n
n
nI was wrong. This is actually a warning from Master!
n
n
nDharmic techniques such as the Heaven’s Viewing Techniques were all parts of minor Daos. However, one could not focus too much on them when learning them.
n
n
nThe real great Dao was right in front of him. He could not afford to lose something big for something small!
n
n
nRight!
n
n
nThat must be Master’s meaning!
n
n
nMaster, I have understood what you meant!
n
n
n“Phew! I had almost comprehended the meaning behind Master’s words wrongly!”
n
n
nYe Luo took a deep breath and patted his chest, feeling a lingering fear.
n
n
nAfter calming down, he stood up and picked up his sword again. His gaze quickly landed on the plaza in the main hall as he wanted to test how powerful this newly comprehended slaughtering technique was.
n
n
nYe Luo took a few steps forward and slowly raised the sword in his hand.
n
n
nHe silently circulated the Dao condensation technique the golden talisman in his heart had passed down.
n
n
nAfter he activated it…
n
n
nA layer of golden light immediately appeared and enveloped the entire sword. The golden light was filled with a natural charm as if it was formed from the Dao. Anything that came into contact with it would be shattered.
n
n
nYe Luo looked at the golden light on the longsword. His eyes focused, and he slashed forward. The golden light gathered on the longsword instantly condensed into a sword beam that tore through the air.
n
n
nRumble!
n
n
nThe sword gleam swept across and struck the ground.
n
n
nA loud boom echoed, the entire ground shook, and clouds of dust rose. It was as if a meteor had crashed onto the ground.
n
n
nAfter a while, the dust and fog dissipated.
n
n
nYe Luo looked over… Not a single mark could be seen on the ground.
n
n
nThis time, Ye Luo was dumbfounded. He clearly felt that his attack had been very powerful.
n
n
nNonetheless, when it struck the square in the hall, it did not even break the ground!
n
n
nForget about breaking it; not even a trace was left behind.
n
n
nIndeed, he was still too weak.
n
n
nHow could he have the face to report the good news to his Master?
n
n
nHe could not even split open the ground. How could he tell his Master that he had not let him down?
n
n
nYe Luo smiled bitterly.
n
n
nHowever, what he did not know was that the system had directly given this sect to Chu Yuan, and the floor was made of extremely sturdy materials. Even a Soul Formation cultivator would have a hard time cutting it open.
n
n
nAt that moment, Ye Luo only felt a sense of loss.
n
n
nHe was disappointed by his own failure.
n
n
nHe felt disappointed that he had failed to live up to his Master’s expectations.
n
n
nNo!
n
n
nHe could not let his Master down.
n
n
nHe had to work harder!
n
n
nThus, Ye Luo’s fighting spirit was ignited.
n
n
n…
n
n
nAt the same time, Chu Yuan, who was resting in the Xuantian Mountain Range, suddenly heard a system notification in his mind.
n
n
nSystem has detected that the sect is under attack.
n
n
nDetection complete. A sect disciple attacked.
n
n
nDetected that the sect’s development is not right. Shifting the system’s review on the strength of the sect’s disciples forward. Determining whether the host has successfully taught a useless disciple.
n
