Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Ancestral Master Hall.

Chu Yuan looked at this female disciple with a mix of surprise and delight.

The more he looked, the more satisfied he became.

Entering the Dao through chess!

Cultivating through chess pieces.

It was impressive that Dantai Luoxue could come up with such a notion.

If he had more disciples like her, why would he ever worry about not being invincible?

However, for now, he needed to stabilize this disciple's state of mind.

Convince her that the Chess Path was viable, lest she abandon it midway.

The old rule, delay for a year and all would be settled!

"Luo Xue, your idea of entering the Dao through chess is very good; your teacher thinks highly of it,"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"However, this path may be difficult to travel, so prepare yourself mentally and never give up easily, do you understand?"

Chu Yuan said.

"Respected Master, your disciple will certainly not give up; it's just that, Respected Master, can one really go far by entering the Dao through chess?"

Dantai Luoxue asked hesitantly.

Clearly, she was still somewhat uncertain about the idea.

Chu Yuan, seated on the throne of the Sect Master, noticed.

He saw it in a glance.

He absolutely could not let Dantai Luoxue's thoughts waver.

He needed to give Dantai Luoxue a strong dose of medicine, to make her understand the terrifying nature of cultivating with chess pieces.

As for the terrifying aspect...

The more terrifying, the better to embellish.

With that thought, Chu Yuan knew what to do.

"Luo Xue, remember, the greatest taboo in cultivation is a wavering Dao heart. Once you have made a choice, no matter when or where, you must stand firm in your path, trusting in your own Dao heart,"

"As for entering the Dao through chess..."

"Not only can this path be traveled far, but it is also superior to all other paths."

"However, before we continue, let me ask you, Luo Xue, do you know what chess is?"

Chu Yuan inquired.

"Respected Master, if your disciple knew that, then…"

Dantai Luoxue was about to answer.

Before she could finish speaking,

Chu Yuan already knew what his disciple wanted to say and interrupted Dantai Luoxue with an exasperated expression.

"Stop, stop, stop! No need to speak, let your teacher explain."

Chu Yuan quickly gestured with his hand, fearing that Dantai Luoxue would turn argumentative again.

Standing in the center of the hall, Dantai Luoxue saw this and pursed her lips slightly, a faint smile flashing in her eyes, as if she had already expected her teacher to say this.

Above her, Chu Yuan did not care for so much detail.

He rose from the Sect Master's throne and walked to the entrance of the hall, pondering for a moment.

"Speaking of the Chess Path, on a small scale, the chessboard was created for the sake of competition. From the perspective of chess, the losing side naturally meets death, hence, chess differentiates yin and yang, and also determines life and death. Within the path of chess, the way of yin and yang is inherently included."

"On a larger scale..."

"The chessboard is the universe itself, or alternatively, if you look up, isn't what lies between heaven and earth also a chessboard? Aren't all living beings akin to chess pieces?"

"To control the chessboard is no different than controlling the heavens and earth."

"Going even further, if the chessboard can encompass everything and if it contains the Three Thousand Great Dao? Should you be strong enough to rise above the Dao, it too is possible!"

Chu Yuan spoke in a light and breezy manner.

As his words fell,

Boom...

A thunderclap streaked across the sky outside,

as if to coincide with Chu Yuan's speech.

Chu Yuan himself was startled, looking up at the sky outside the hall, almost ready to give the heavens a thumbs-up.

On the other side, Dantai Luoxue, who was listening to Chu Yuan's words, jolted, clearly startled by the sudden thunder as well.

After a moment, she regained her senses.

With a slightly stunned look in her eyes, she watched Chu Yuan.

"Respected Master, can the Chess Path truly achieve these things?"

Dantai Luoxue took a deep breath and asked.

"Of course, but the path of Chess Path cultivation is difficult and not easy to pursue. If you have great determination, you will surely succeed in cultivation,"

Chu Yuan said in the same light and breezy tone.

In other words.

Cultivating with chess is difficult. If you can't achieve results, don't go around saying you won't cultivate anymore. You need to be more determined!

"Respected Master, your disciple has resolve! I beg you, please impart this path to your disciple!"

Dantai Luo Xue bowed respectfully as she spoke.

"Good, since you have the resolve and the confidence, then go on and cultivate,"

Chu Yuan nodded, speaking with satisfaction.

"But Respected Master, you haven't yet taught your disciple the method of cultivation,"

Dantai Luo Xue said with some confusion.

"Foolish child! The method of cultivation has already been explained by your teacher. Do you still not understand? Your perception shouldn't be this poor,"

Chu Yuan feigned a look of confusion.

But deep down, he was also helpless.

He could brag all he wanted,

But did he look like someone who possessed an incredible method of cultivation?

If he did, would he still be at the Qi Refinement Stage??

If he did, would he need to rely on teaching useless disciples to enhance his strength?

It must be a joke.

But as much as he thought it, he couldn't say it.

"Respected Master… your disciple, indeed, does not understand,"

Dantai Luo Xue furrowed her brows and spoke bewilderedly.

"You don't understand. Alas, your perception is even worse than your second senior brother's. Well then, you should go and reflect on it first,"

Chu Yuan began to hurry her out.

"But Respected Master, your disciple is truly slow-witted and didn't grasp when you spoke of the method for cultivating the Chess Path. I implore you to give your disciple a bit of a clue,"

Dantai Luo Xue spoke up once more.

Upon hearing this,

Chu Yuan couldn't help but frown.

Where could he even begin to devise a method of cultivation?

He did not have the slightest lead to offer, not even a whisper of one.

The Chess Path, the Chess Path…

Where does the chess, where does the path come from?

Chu Yuan felt a headache coming on.

Suddenly, his gaze shifted to his Sect Master's throne.

Seeing the Crimson Longsword and Stone Chess Board next to it, his eyes lit up.

This Stone Chess Board, cold to the touch when one sits on it,

Could also be considered quite an interesting item, right?

To say that this is a treasured artifact, a bit of bluffing, no problem at all.

Chu Yuan narrowed his eyes, an idea forming in his mind.

"It seems Luo Xue, your perception is truly a bit lacking. Since that is the case, then your teacher will give you a clue for reflection,"

Chu Yuan slowly said.

Having said that,

he walked over to the side of the Sect Master's throne.

He picked up the Stone Chess Board and then stepped down, handing it over to Dantai Luo Xue.

"This chessboard is a precious treasure, a gift from an old friend of your teacher from years past. Don't judge it by its plain appearance, like that of a mundane object; in fact, this chessboard contains a strand of the Great Dao related to chess, something for you, Luo Xue, to ponder. Originally, your teacher was reluctant to part with this treasure, but since you have been initiated today, I will give it to you. You must take good care of it,"

Chu Yuan sighed reluctantly as if it pained him to do so, passing the chessboard into Dantai Luo Xue's hands.

Dantai Luo Xue took the chessboard, and her eyes shone with a lustrous, glaze-like brilliance.

She possessed Innate Insightful Eyes.

With just one glance, she could see the chessboard's extraordinary nature.

In her eyes, it seemed as though some kind of seal on the chessboard was gradually being unlocked, revealing the board's original aura.

This was a treasured artifact sealed by the Respected Master!

The Respected Master had given it to her, and incidentally helped her unlock the seal!

"For such a great kindness, your disciple will never forget for all eternity!" Continue your journey at empire

Dantai Luo Xue's voice trembled slightly with excitement as she spoke.

"Hmm, go and ponder well, and also, spend less time with your second senior brother,"

Chu Yuan waved his hand dismissively.

Overcome with excitement, Dantai Luo Xue was in no mood to say more. She nodded again and again, then left the Ancestral Master Hall, hugging the Stone Chess Board.

Standing in the hall, Chu Yuan watched the direction in which Dantai Luo Xue had left, perplexed.

Was it not just a Stone Chess Board, cold to the rear when sat upon?

Was such excitement truly warranted?
