Chapter 2: I Have Great Expectations For You
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
On Sky Mist Mountain, clouds and mist shrouded the area, making it seem like a place where immortals resided. Halls stood tall in the sky, giving off an ethereal yet imposing aura. It made people feel reverence, not daring to offend them.
Ye Luo held his sword and walked around the sect before finally arriving at the square outside the sect’s main hall.
“The sect is really huge. I’ve been walking for three hours, but I still haven’t finished touring the place. It’s comparable to the Clear Sky Sect in the east region…”
Ye Luo sighed.
The Heavenly Continent was divided into several major regions, and the territory where the Daoless Sect was located belonged to the east region.
In the east region, there were also countless sects and countries. Among them, the most prosperous sect was naturally the Clear Sky Sect.
He had once entered the Clear Sky Sect with his family.
He was certain that the Daoless Sect was no weaker than the Clear Sky Sect. In fact, the Daoless Sect’s buildings and structures were far more imposing than the Clear Sky Sect’s.
The only weakness was that the Daoless Sect was too quiet…
It was quiet to the extreme.
It was as if there was no one in the entire sect.
Oh, well, there was indeed no one.
He was alone.
“That’s not right. This seems extremely wrong. How could a sect not weaker than the Clear Sky Sect have no reputation?
“Not only that, but I’ve personally witnessed how powerful Master is. Even some of the Clear Sky Sect’s elders are inferior to Master. Although I don’t know what level Master is at, he’s definitely an expert. It makes no sense for such an expert to have no fame in the east region.
“The only possibility is that the Daoless Sect is a hidden sect that has only come out of seclusion recently!
“That’s right!”
Ye Luo stabbed his sword into the ground, while his eyes betrayed a glint. If he had really joined a hidden sect, the problem of him being unable to cultivate would definitely be resolved.
Every hidden sect was mysterious and powerful. He was not worried that the sect would not be able to solve this troubling problem of his.
Most importantly, his Master had promised him. He could help him solve the problem of him not being able to cultivate. That was why he was assured.
It can’t be that Master is lying to me, right?
No way, no way.
Is Master really lying to me?
Don’t be ridiculous.
Why would such an expert try to hoodwink me?
Will Master even gain anything from doing so?
For fun?
That’s impossible!
“Luo’er.”
An ethereal voice drifted over. The voice seemed distant yet close to him.
When Ye Luo heard this voice, he put away all the thoughts in his mind and pretended to be aloof.
He had to pay attention to his image in front of his Master.
After a while, Chu Yuan descended from the sky by walking on the clouds. His robes fluttered in the wind, and his long hair danced in the wind. He was like a peerless immortal, free and unfettered in the world, causing Ye Luo to feel envious.
To cultivate and become an immortal, to be free and unfettered—this was everyone’s dream.
Now that the opportunity was right in front of him, Ye Luo had to grasp it well and cultivate so that he could become a genius. Only then could he become a peerless immortal and not let down his Master!
“Master!”
Ye Luo bowed to Chu Yuan respectfully.
Chu Yuan nodded indifferently and said rather casually, “Luo’er, have you found a suitable bedroom? If you haven’t, I can personally bring you there to look.”
When Ye Luo heard this, he hurriedly bowed and said, “I don’t dare to trouble Master. Your disciple has already found a suitable bedroom. It’s just that when your disciple saw the vastness of the sect, this disciple here felt emotional. I want to cultivate and attain my Dao as soon as possible! I want to be able to roam the void!
“Therefore, I would like to ask Master to solve my problem of not being able to cultivate!”
The moment that was said, Chu Yuan choked on his words. He had originally wanted to give Ye Luo a one-month tour of the sect and drag it out for a month.
But this kid…
The moment he opened his mouth, he wanted to cultivate.
Luckily, this boy did not have a spirit root and could not cultivate at all. Otherwise, just this diligence alone would ruin his grand plan!
Forget it, forget it.
Since this lad did not wish to tour the sect for a month, he could only use the backup plan—hoodwink him!
This was what Chu Yuan thought in his heart. However, on the surface, he appeared calm and collected. He turned around and faced the sky without saying a word.
Ye Luo looked up at the sky as well.
The sun was very bright today, and the sunlight was blinding.
Can’t take it anymore!
Ye Luo lowered his head in an instant. The noon sun was too glaring.
He turned to look at Chu Yuan, only to see him staring at the sun with his eyes wide open, without any expression.
Ye Luo couldn’t help but feel emotional. His Master was indeed his Master. He was indeed strong. He was different from ordinary people like him and could actually look straight at the sun without batting an eyelid.
However, Ye Luo did not know that Chu Yuan was already cursing in his heart.
According to the norm, shouldn’t Ye Luo ask him what he was looking at so that he could start to hoodwink him?
This kid actually didn’t say anything.
Didn’t he know that his eyes were hurting?
He could feel his eyes burning. He believed that once he closed his eyes, tears would definitely fall.
If he cried, his image would be ruined.
He definitely couldn’t close his eyes!
Chu Yuan waited silently for Ye Luo to speak.
Unfortunately, Ye Luo remained silent, as if he didn’t dare to disturb his Master.
This infuriated Chu Yuan so much that he almost gathered his Nascent Soul dharmic powers and sent this useless disciple to heaven with a slap.
Fortunately, Ye Luo still spoke up when Chu Yuan was about to ‘collapse’.
“Your disciple earnestly requests Master to resolve the hindrance of your disciple’s inability to cultivate. Your disciple will definitely cultivate diligently in the future to repay Master’s kindness!”
Thank the lord!
Chu Yuan was already bouncing back and forth on the edge of death.
Chu Yuan silently retracted his hand from his sleeve. With his back facing Ye Luo, he lowered his head and said indifferently, “It’s very simple if you want to solve the problem of your inability to cultivate. I can solve it simply with a wave of my hand. However, I don’t want you to start cultivating now. Do you know why?”
Don’t want me to start cultivating now?
Ye Luo was stunned. He shook his head and said, “I don’t know.”
Chu Yuan took a few steps forward, not letting this disciple see his face full of tears as he spoke.
“You were born without a spirit root and hence were unable to cultivate. This sort of special situation is actually not uncommon in the long river of history. For example, Xiao Huohuo, a piece of trash for three years, managed to become the Flame Emperor after many years of hard work. Shi Hao, whose supreme being bone was dug out when he was young, became the Heavenly Emperor with his grit and fortitude. As for the crooked mouth Dragon King and the others, all of them had their special circumstances. In the end, all of them managed to become supreme beings…
“Thus, Master has high hopes for you. Luo’er, do you understand?”
Ye Luo was stunned.
Emperor Yan? Celestial Emperor? The crooked mouth Dragon King?
Why haven’t I heard of these names before?
Could these be some secrets that ordinary people didn’t know about, and only the hidden sects have records of them?
