Chapter 4: Master, I Have Understood
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the blink of an eye, several days passed.
At the Daoless Sect, in the main hall square…
Ye Luo had been sitting cross-legged in meditation for several days, looking up at the sky constantly.
He wanted to comprehend the Dao left behind by Chu Yuan.
Unfortunately, there was no progress, not even a clue.
Ye Luo could endure a few days of boredom.
However, he was already at his limit as he had not comprehended anything after such a long period. He could not tolerate it any longer. After all, he was still a mortal and hadn’t truly stepped onto the path of cultivation.
He didn’t have such a good temperament.
The fact that he hadn’t been able to comprehend anything in the past few days had already made him feel frustrated.
Just as Ye Luo could not hold back and wanted to consult his beloved Master, a strange phenomenon occurred.
Ye Luo was about to stand up when his mind suddenly jolted. He suddenly felt a sense of clarity.
When he opened his eyes again, everything in the world had changed.
Everything around him seemed to have changed.
He looked up at the sky once again.
The sky had already returned to its original state, but golden chains were crisscrossing each other in an orderly fashion now. At the same time, a vast and boundless aura permeated the air.
The golden chains that were stacked on each other made him feel as if he was facing the entire world.
A feeling of shock, insignificance, and powerlessness surfaced in his heart.
Ye Luo’s eyes were wide open, and his heart had sunk into extreme shock. He was unable to recover from this state for a long period.
Rumble!
Just as he was in a daze, all the chains in the sky vanished, and only one of them charged down directly and entered between Ye Luo’s brows.
Ye Luo shuddered and closed his eyes.
Mysterious and obscure golden runes appeared in his mind.
Every golden rune felt profound and mysterious.
Ye Luo looked at the golden runes and could not understand them at all. He could not understand even one of them.
However, he suddenly heard a voice.
This voice was cold and ethereal, as if it came from the void. It was explaining the meaning of the golden runes.
When Ye Luo heard the voice, he instantly fell into a state of enlightenment.
The contents of the golden runes were explained one by one for Ye Luo to listen and absorb.
Although the golden runes did not increase his realm, they unknowingly made his foundation even stronger and elevated his mental state.
It took him a total of six hours till the sun had set before he awoke from his state of enlightenment.
Is this the Dao that Master left behind?
Master is indeed a peerless expert. The Daoless Sect must be a powerful sect hidden from the world!
Ye Luo looked at his hands, his heart beating faster. He was very clear about the changes in his body.
Although he had yet to step onto the path of cultivation, he was not afraid of Qi Refinement cultivators at all now.
Most importantly, after comprehending those golden runes, he knew what the Dao was!
When immortal cultivators started their path of cultivation, they would first have to refine qi and bring it into their bodies. Only after completing it could they reach the Foundation Establishment stage. After that, they would then form their own golden core to reach the Gold Core stage. Following that, they would break their core, giving birth to a Nascent Soul, signifying that they had reached the Nascent Soul stage. After that, they would comprehend their own Dao and transform their Nascent Soul to reach the Soul Formation stage!
Comprehending the Dao was something that one needed to do when breaking through to the Soul Formation stage.
However, Ye Luo had already stepped onto the path of the Soul Formation stage before even becoming a Qi Refinement cultivator!
This must have been because his Master wanted him to forge a supreme Dao foundation, which was why he had been asked to comprehend the Dao in advance!
At that thought, Ye Luo could not help but be curious about his Master’s realm.
He could actually easily forge a supreme Dao foundation for him. As long as Ye Luo didn’t die in the future and managed to solve the problem of being unable to cultivate, he would at least become a Soul Formation mighty figure!
Then what level had his Master reached?
He should be at least at the Soul Formation stage?
No, those who could easily accomplish this were likely all peerless experts at the Tribulation stage!
His Master should be a peerless Tribulation cultivator!
Ye Luo’s breathing quickened.
Tribulation Stage!
That was the Tribulation stage—the strongest existence on the continent.
Above the Tribulation Stage was ascension to immortality.
And his Master was very likely an existence at the Tribulation stage!
I actually have a Master at the Tribulation stage! When I go out, I can do whatever I want!
If Master ascends to become an immortal, who in the world will dare to touch me? Wait a minute! Ascension!
Ye Luo suddenly widened his eyes.
He understood!
He understood why a hidden sect like the Daoless Sect was so deserted. It should be because of ascension!
The Daoless Sect must have been a hidden sect since ancient times!
During this period, everyone in the sect had probably ascended to become an immortal. It was precisely because everyone in the sect had ascended that the Daoless Sect was so deserted.
And this Master of his was probably at the Tribulation stage and close to ascending.
He must have been worried that no one would be able to inherit the Daoless Sect after he ascended, so he had chosen to venture into the mortal world to look for a disciple.
Everything made sense!
“Master, I have understood!”
Ye Luo was extremely excited. He stood up and wanted to look for Chu Yuan as he had finally understood his Master’s purpose.
However, even after searching half of the sect, he still couldn’t find his Master.
In the end, he could only give up.
He thought that his Master wanted him to continue comprehending the runes and not be so easily distracted by success. Thus, he continued to sit cross-legged in an attempt to fully comprehend the runes.
At the back of the mountain…
When Ye Luo had been jumping up and down looking for Chu Yuan, the latter had naturally noticed him as well.
However, that was all he had noticed. He had not realized that Ye Luo had started comprehending the Dao.
Only Soul Formation cultivators could sense the Dao. He, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator, could not sense it at all. Therefore, he could only notice that Ye Luo was looking for him.
“I knew that this fellow wouldn’t be able to hold himself back and would come looking for me. Thankfully, I had the foresight to hide behind the mountain.”
Chu Yuan’s expressionless face revealed a smile.
As expected, everything was under control.
He would at least be a mid-stage Nascent Soul mighty figure next year. Moreover, it definitely wouldn’t stop there!
He would definitely be an expert in the future!
According to the novels he had read, he was the male lead and was destined to be powerful.
If he really was the protagonist in a novel, what would the novel be called?
I Went From Nascent Soul To A Supreme Being?
Chu Yuan started daydreaming.
Unexpectedly, he suddenly looked toward the foot of Sky Mist Mountain and saw within his consciousness a black-robed man. He was carrying a large box on his back and rushing up the mountain.
Who is this? Why is he rushing up the mountain? Is he trying to join his Daoless Sect?
However, who is this fellow actually? Why would he rush up to an empty sect?
After all, the Daoless Sect had nothing to offer.
Besides Ye Luo and himself, what else was there in the sect?
No!
Ye Luo!
Could it be that this fellow was an elder of Ye Luo and knew that he could not help Ye Luo solve the problem of being unable to cultivate, so he came here to bring back Ye Luo?
No!
That shouldn’t be the case.
Chu Yuan thought about many possibilities and finally decided to go down the mountain to see what this person was here for…
