Chapter 36: Ye Luo Descends From The Mountain

After obtaining the “Basic Cultivation Method of the Qi Refining Stage” book, Chu Yuan finally left the Drunken Immortal inn under the shopkeeper’s eager gaze.

Chu Yuan had a sudden impulse to cultivate now that he had obtained this book!

He wanted to try cultivating on his own.

Perhaps he was actually a hidden one-in-a-million genius!?

With this thought in mind, Chu Yuan immediately returned to the Daoless Sect.

When he was back, he saw that Ye Luo was still sitting on the square outside the main hall comprehending the Dao while Zhang Han… Well, he couldn’t be bothered with him anymore and thus did not care where he was.

He then returned to his palace, closed the door, and entered seclusion to cultivate.

…

Chu Yuan cultivated in seclusion for more than two months.

In these two months, the outside world was in turmoil.

On the other hand, the Daoless Sect was as calm as water.

Ye Luo and Zhang Han were busy with their own things.

During the day, Ye Luo would observe the sky and comprehend the Dao. At night, he would practice his swordsmanship and comprehend the key that his Master had given him.

Zhang Han studied formations day and night, attempting to connect with the sun, moon, stars, and everything in the world.

And, of course, Chu Yuan cultivated his Dharmic power.

In the palace, the seclusion room…

Chu Yuan was seated cross-legged on a mat and slowly opened his eyes. He extended his hand from his sleeve and looked at it for a long time. His deep eyes flashed with excitement.

It had been two months!

He had succeeded in cultivating by himself!

He had successfully condensed a trace of Dharmic power through the “Basic Cultivation Method of the Qi Refining Stage” book!

Even though it was just a tiny bit, this was at least a good start for him!

As long as he cultivated arduously and continued grooming useless disciples, his cultivation would increase by leaps and bounds.

The path to invincibility was right before his eyes!

Did everyone really think that he was just joking when he said that he was going to cultivate from a Golden Core cultivator to a supreme being?

If he cultivated diligently and reached the middle-stage of the Golden Core stage a year later, coupled with the system’s reward of a small realm from grooming Zhang Han to become a useless cultivator, he would become an existence at the advanced-stage of the Golden Core stage!

Returning to the Nascent Soul stage was just around the corner!

Chu Yuan had already imagined the future, where he would stand invincible, with his back facing all the living beings in this world.

Upon thinking of that scene, Chu Yuan could not help but laugh foolishly.

After counting the days, there were about eight to nine months before the system review of his disciples’ strength would begin.

In another eight to nine months, he would achieve a breakthrough!

“It’s been two months. I wonder how my two disciples are doing,” Chu Yuan muttered and released his divine sense to scan the sect.

Within his consciousness…

Zhang Han was still reading in the Hall of Impartation.

Could it be that this fellow had been reading continuously for two months?

What’s so good about a bunch of fake books?

Huh?

Where was Ye Luo?

Chu Yuan’s divine sense swept across the main hall square, but he did not find Ye Luo.

Where did this fellow go?

Confused, Chu Yuan scanned the entire Daoless Sect with his divine sense.

He finally found Ye Luo. It turned out that this fellow was at the mountain gate, calling out ‘Master’ as if he was looking for him.

“Why is this fellow looking for me? Could it be that he has thought it through and hopes for me to give him pointers? What good timing. Maybe I can try to get his cultivation technique this time round.”

Chu Yuan’s eyes lit up. Without hesitation, he opened the door and headed toward Ye Luo.

At this moment, behind the Daoless Sect’s main gate…

Ye Luo was carrying his sword and walking along the mountain path.

He wore a green flowing crane robe with wide sleeves that fluttered in the wind. His black hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin, and the golden mark on his forehead was constantly flickering. His eyes were sharp and indifferent.

He felt like an immortal, aloof like snow.

It was as if a sword immortal from the heavens had descended to the mortal world and was walking through the mortal world.

“Where is Master?” Ye Luo muttered to himself.

He had been comprehending the Dao for more than two months and had already reached a bottleneck. He planned on leaving the mountain to gain experience.

Before he left, he planned to inform his Master.

But no matter how hard he looked, he could not find his Master.

Ye Luo frowned and was about to use his Dao runes as a medium to call his Master out.

Just as he was about to shout, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Upon closer inspection, it was Chu Yuan.

Ye Luo was stunned.

Was his Master’s realm so profound?

No matter how he had been trying to call for his Master without using the Dao runes, his Master would just not appear.

However, just as he was about to use the Dao runes as a medium to call his Master, he had suddenly appeared before him.

Was this a coincidence!?

Would anyone really think that it was a coincidence?

No way, no way.

Could it be that someone really thought so?

If it were anyone else, it would definitely be a coincidence.

But if it were a peerless expert like his Master, that was definitely not a coincidence.

His Master was actually so sensitive to Dao runes!

Just what sort of cultivation realm did he possess to be able to achieve such a feat?

Just as the thought of using Dao runes flashed through his mind, it was sensed by his Master immediately.

“Master!”

Ye Luo bowed to his Master obediently.

“Luo’er, you… Hmm, why are you looking for me? Have you thought it through and hope for me to guide you?”

Chu Yuan was slightly surprised in his heart, but his expression remained calm.

How long had it been since he had last seen Ye Luo?

It had only been two months.

How had he changed so much?

Two months ago, he still felt like a mortal.

Now, he felt like he was an arrogant sword immortal.

Gulp…

Chu Yuan secretly swallowed his saliva.

He was thinking.

Could he still beat this disciple now?

When Ye Luo heard Chu Yuan’s question, he couldn’t help but laugh.

Two months had passed, yet his Master still wanted to test his Dao Heart.

Ye Luo cupped his hands and said, “Disciple appreciates Master’s good intentions. Disciple wishes to seek an audience with Master, not for the sake of guidance.”

He sounded amused. Especially when he mentioned the word ‘guidance’, his smile became even wider.

Chu Yuan frowned and asked, “Then why are you calling out for me?”

When Ye Luo heard this, he took an exquisite invitation out of his pocket.

The surface of the invitation was covered in a layer of gold foil and was gorgeous. On the left was a lifelike Phoenix, and on the right was a domineering golden dragon.

In the middle was an ancient character, ‘Qian’.

“Master, this sect invited me to watch the sect competition three months ago. Now that the three months are almost up, I plan to go down the mountain and gain some experience as well as pay a visit to this sect,” Ye Luo said softly.

Chu Yuan looked at the invitation and could not help but suck in a cold breath.

Which sect’s invitation was this?

This invitation seemed to be very valuable.

If he took the invitation, would Ye Luo fall out with him?

Ahem, forget it.

He was a fair Master.

How could he snatch something from his disciple?

Chu Yuan raised his brows and asked, “Which sect is this from?”

“Master, it’s the Qian Emperor Dao Sect. I don’t know what sect it is,” Ye Luo answered honestly.

When Chu Yuan heard this, he was stunned.

The Qian Emperor Dao Sect?

He knew which sect that was.

It was the sect where the scheming Grand Elder he had met in the Xuantian Mountain Range came from.

There were so many people who had wanted to give him gifts that day, but the scheming Grand Elder had destroyed all of them, leaving nothing but dust for him.

He would remember this grudge for the rest of his life.

At the thought of this, Chu Yuan could not help but gnash his teeth.

“Luo’er, go down the mountain and participate in this trash sect competition. If you have the chance, make sure to cause trouble in the sect, do you understand?”

In any case, Ye Luo seemed very strong now. He would let this back-stabbing disciple take revenge for him.

On the other hand, although Ye Luo was stunned when he heard this, he still nodded. He had always obeyed his Master’s words.
