Chapter 32: You Have Really Understood It?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At the bottom of Sky Mist Mountain…
Chu Yuan walked toward the mountain gate step by step. He had a stick of candy fruit in his mouth. He was in a good mood and hummed an unknown tune as he walked.
“The owner of this inn is too polite. He even gave me another table of delicacies. The taste is really good. Sigh, there are so many good people in this world.
“Before I left, he even said that I was welcome to visit again next time. Since I’ve already agreed on this, won’t I seem unreasonable if I don’t go next time? I must go the next time I come here too!” Chu Yuan muttered a few words and looked up at the mountain.
He had gone out to play for almost a day. Zhang Han should still be comprehending loneliness, right?
He was definitely still comprehending loneliness.
What could he even comprehend from a mark that he had randomly left on the rock?
Could Zhang Han really comprehend some form of Dao from it?
Don’t be ridiculous. If Zhang Han could really comprehend something from it, he would swallow the entire Sky Mist Mountain.
He just didn’t know how Zhang Han was doing.
It was time for him to go up and check on Zhang Han.
Clouds formed under Chu Yuan’s feet as he flew toward the mountain gate.
Soon, Chu Yuan arrived above the mountain gate.
He looked down, and his face stiffened.
Where is Zhang Han? Shouldn’t he be next to the mountain gate?
Where did this fellow go?
Could it be that he really ran away after failing to comprehend anything!?
Are young people nowadays so weak mentally!?
Chu Yuan’s expression was ugly. His divine sense spread out and swept across the entire sect.
Ye Luo looked at the sky from the square in the main hall.
He finally found Zhang Han reading in the Hall of Impartation.
This kid didn’t run away!
He is just reading in the Hall of Impartation!
Phew…
Chu Yuan heaved a sigh of relief.
“It’s good that he didn’t run away. It’s good that he didn’t run away. This kid is really lazy. I had already hoodwinked him into comprehending the Dao, yet he still ran off to read books. He has really given me a scare.”
Chu Yuan did not think too much about it. He thought that Zhang Han had become frustrated after failing to comprehend anything and had gone to the Hall of Impartation to read instead.
However…
What a pity!
This was still within Chu Feng’s plan. The books in the Hall of Impartation were all fake! He had bought them at the price of eight taels of silver!
Haha, no one would expect they were fake, right? No one would have thought that this was all part of his plan!
When Chu Yuan thought of this, the corners of his lips could not help but curl up.
You think I’m on the first level? I’m actually on the fifth level!
Apart from his cute disciple, Ye Luo, no one could escape from his control!
He would groom Zhang Han into a useless cultivator. His future disciples would also be groomed to become extremely useless cultivators!
No one could stop him from doing so!
This is what he, Chu Yuan, said!
However, for the time being, he had to stabilize Zhang Han.
After much thought, Chu Yuan had made his decision. He decided that it was best for him to meet Zhang Han. He felt that the only uncontrolled variable was Zhang Han’s mentality. As long as he could completely stabilize Zhang Han’s state of mind, then his reward of a small realm would definitely be safe.
Chu Yuan nodded to himself and flew toward the Hall of Impartation.
In the Hall of Impartation…
Zhang Han sat in a corner with a book in his hands, reading it with relish.
The book in his hand was a book that recorded various array formations. There were all kinds of array formations recorded in this book, from the past till now.
It was rumored that the number one array formation sect in the east region had a book that recorded array formations from ancient times. This book attracted the yearning of all the Array Formation Masters in the world. Even he had yearned for this book in the past, hoping that one day he would be able to browse through the book.
However, after seeing the book in his hands, Zhang Han no longer cared about that book. He couldn’t be bothered to read the most coveted book in the number one array formation sect in the east region anymore.
The Daoless Sect’s secret manuals were no weaker than those of that sect.
Looking at the numerous secret manuals and techniques in the Hall of Impartation, Zhang Han had a feeling. Even if all the sects in the entire east region were to compete with the Daoless Sect in terms of heritage and legacies, they would definitely still not be able to defeat the latter.
This made Zhang Han sigh at the power of the Daoless Sect.
A hidden sect was indeed powerful.
Just as Zhang Han was prepared to continue reading, he suddenly heard a voice that sounded both distant and near.
“Han’er.”
When Zhang Han heard this voice, his entire body trembled. He hurriedly closed the book and stood up to look outside the hall.
Chu Yuan strode in. He wore a snow-white robe that was untainted by the mortal world. His black hair draped behind his shoulders, and his eyes were deep and spirited like an immortal.
“Master!”
Zhang Han was rather excited to see Chu Yuan, but he suppressed his excitement and bowed gracefully to his master.
Chu Yuan nodded slightly as a faint smile appeared on his face.
“Han’er, why are you reading in this hall? How’s your comprehension of the Dao mark on the stone going?” Chu Yuan asked casually.
After Zhang Han heard his Master’s question, the suppressed emotions instantly burst out. He wanted to tell his Master that he had already comprehended it and awakened the Heart of Formations.
He did not disappoint his Master!
However, just as Zhang Han was about to speak, he suddenly recalled what his Eldest Senior Brother had said.
At Master’s realm, how could he not see that he had already figured it out?
Yet, he still wanted to tell his Master of this news in such a proud manner. Wasn’t this equivalent to him telling his Master that his temperament was bad and that he was already arrogant?
No!
He could not be proud and arrogant!
His perception was lacking, and he had already disappointed his Master. If his temperament also disappointed his Master, then how could he still have the face to be his Master’s disciple?
Zhang Han clenched his fists and took a deep breath to calm himself down.
Zhang Han bowed once again and replied gently, “Master, I have gained some enlightenment. I heard from Eldest Senior Brother that there are all kinds of wonderful techniques in the Hall of Impartation and have thus temporarily stopped comprehending the Dao and came to take a look!”
The moment this was said, Chu Yuan, who was initially calm and collected, froze, and a smile flashed across his face.
Slight enlightenment?
You can’t fool people like this.
You have even gained some insights into the Dao mark? What can you figure out from the mark on the stone? Comprehend a banana stick hammer?
This Zhang Han was clearly afraid that he would scold him and thus casually said that he had understood something!
However, it was still better for him to ask seriously once more. If something went wrong with this second disciple of his, too, he would probably lose his Golden Core.
Chu Yuan asked with his hands behind his back, “Han’er, have you really understood something?”
Upon hearing his Master’s question, Zhang Han was taken aback. He subconsciously wanted to manifest the Heart of Formations, but on second thought, he hesitated.
Something is wrong!
Is it impossible for Master not to know of my innate Heart of Formations? However, why would his Master ask this question?
On top of that, Master’s tone is so serious…
Something is wrong. Very wrong!
Zhang Han frowned and pondered for a moment.
Suddenly, his mind shook.
He understood!
Actually, his Master wanted to warn him not to be complacent.
What did it mean to have some understanding?
In front of the true great Dao, who dared to say that they had gained insight into it?
Maintaining a calm state of mind while comprehending the Dao was what his Master wanted to tell him.
Master, I have understood!
Master, you have put in a lot of effort. I will never forget your kindness!
Zhang Han was excited, but he maintained an elegant and courteous appearance on the surface. He said, “Master, it was this disciple’s mistake for speaking such arrogant words. This disciple has yet to comprehend anything!”
When Chu Yuan heard this, he was instantly amused.
That’s more like it. This is my useless disciple!
