Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

At the base of Misty Mountain.

Gazing at the middle-aged man before him.

Chu Yuan could tell that this person had an extraordinary air about him.

Just like someone who had long held a high position.

There was a sense of authority in his demeanor.

However, he was curious.

Ye Luo said this fellow sought him out because of a physical condition,

That was why he had come to find Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan was curious about what this "physical condition" meant.

On the other side, the Qian Yuan Sect Master, upon seeing Chu Yuan's gaze sweep over, quickly stepped forward with a reverent expression.

"Yes, senior, this junior is bereft of a Primordial Spirit... a soul, that's why I've come to ask for your guidance on how to cultivate again."

The Qian Yuan Sect Master respectfully bowed.

His head lowered.

He dared not make a single move.

Fearing that any action could displease this powerful existence.

If this existence were unwilling to help him,

Then he truly had no other recourse.

"Your body lacks a soul? Then how are you alive?"

Chu Yuan was taken aback.

In this day and age, could someone without a soul still be alive?

In his mind, shouldn't people without souls have perished?

"It's like this, senior. It's all my own doing..."

The Qian Yuan Sect Master said, with evident embarrassment.

Of course, he did not dare to say that he had believed the Great Elder's words about 'returning to simplicity and truth' and acted accordingly.

For to say that would only make him seem foolish.

So, the Qian Yuan Sect Master explained that he had accidentally shattered his soul during cultivation because of an accident.

But because he had life-saving means,

His soul was shattered, yet he remained alive.

There was a bug in his body, preventing him from cultivating any longer.

Standing in front of him, Chu Yuan listened with great interest.

He couldn't help but exclaim what a talent this person was!

Oh no, someone capable of shattering his own soul through cultivation, that must be the work of a genius.

Chu Yuan listened with such amusement, especially when he heard the last part about the inability to cultivate anymore, his eyes suddenly brightened.

"So, your predicament is that because you lack a soul, you're unable to cultivate?"

"And now you've come to the Wayless Sect seeking a solution to this matter?"

Chu Yuan asked.

New ideas began to form in his mind.

If he followed the normal process, cultivating to the Mid-stage Golden Core Realm,

And then waited another year for the settlement, by teaching the useless Zhang Han, he would gain a minor increase in realm, reaching the Late-stage Golden Core Realm.

He was still one step away from the Nascent Soul Realm.

If he took on another disciple and likewise taught them poorly, after a year, he could gain two minor increases in realm.

And in one step, return to the Nascent Soul Realm!!!

Standing on the side, the Qian Yuan Sect Master, hearing these words, hastened to nod in agreement.

"Yes, yes, senior, this junior begs you to help me return to the path of cultivation!"

"Please, senior, lend your assistance!"

"As long as senior can help this junior, I am willing to offer up everything!"

The Qian Yuan Sect Master said earnestly.

Upon hearing this,

Chu Yuan did not respond immediately but turned his back and looked up at the peaks of Misty Mountain, as if deep in thought.

He was calculating the possibilities in his heart.

According to his deduction,

It must be that this oddity, who had shattered his own soul through cultivation, saw Ye Luo, who could still cultivate without a Spirit Root, and thus they became acquainted.

With the success of Ye Luo as an example,

The oddity must have believed he could overcome his special predicament of being unable to cultivate.

And so, he sought out Chu Yuan.

With that in mind, the sacrifice of a whole Realm to obtain Ye Luo didn't seem like a big loss.

At least, with this successful example, he could use it to bluff his way into recruiting disciples in the future.

Thinking this way, Chu Yuan already had a plan in mind. He turned his head, glanced at Ye Luo and the Sect Master of Qian Yuan, and slowly spoke.

"Let's go, up the mountain."

Having said that,

Chu Yuan decisively summoned the Magic Cloud, drifting leisurely towards the mountain peak.

The surrounding mist upon seeing him, parted to make way, as though his body was an immaculate immortal's, not to be approached by any mundane matter.

As for how he did it…

Mere connection to the Array Diagrams with more than half of the Mana of someone in the Early Golden Core Realm could accomplish this.

Ye Luo and the Sect Master of Qian Yuan, who were standing still, were both taken aback.

But it was Ye Luo who reacted first.

"Let's go."

Ye Luo tugged on the Sect Master of Qian Yuan, the Dao Yun beneath their feet crisscrossing as they soared towards the mountaintop.

This scene left the Qian Yuan Sect Master constantly marveling.

Hidden Sects truly were different.

The seniors' method of flying, returning to simplicity.

And the disciples were even more aggressive, using Dao Yun to fly…

Truly terrifying.

...

Main Hall of Wu Dao Sect.

Chu Yuan, along with Ye Luo and the Sect Master of Qian Yuan, arrived here.

Chu Yuan naturally took his seat on the Sect Master's throne.

"Solving the issue of your inability to cultivate is certainly within my power,"

"But, the Dao should not be passed on lightly."

"If you want me to impart the Great Dao to you, you must join the Wu Dao Sect. Would you be willing?"

Chu Yuan said slowly.

Upon hearing this, the Sect Master of Qian Yuan was stunned.

Was joining the Wu Dao Sect really this simple?

"Senior! Of course, this junior is willing to join the Wu Dao Sect! But is it really that simple… Can I join the Wu Dao Sect and witness the Great Dao just like that?"

The Qian Yuan Sect Master asked, perplexed.

Pfft…

Chu Yuan almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Why were this generation of disciples so hard to trick?

You're complaining about joining the Wu Dao Sect being too simple?

If I don't show off my bluffing skills, you would never know what I made a living from.

Thinking this, Chu Yuan maintained his composed exterior.

"What else did you expect? The Dao has always been in front of you, you just couldn't see it. Joining the Wu Dao Sect is akin to lighting a lantern to guide your path."

"Anyone with destiny can join the sect, but understanding the Dao requires great perseverance and great wisdom!"

"Do not think that joining the Wu Dao Sect means you will definitely become powerful. That mindset is incorrect. Do you understand?"

Chu Yuan said indifferently.

The Sect Master of Qian Yuan, standing to the side, had an epiphany, nodded, knelt on both knees, and said, "This disciple wishes to join the Wu Dao Sect, please accept me as your disciple, Respected Master!"

Chu Yuan nodded, hands behind his back, maintaining a nonchalant facade while internally he was nearly bursting with joy.

Very good, very good.

Another minor Realm in hand.

The return to the Nascent Soul is just around the corner!!

"Not bad, a teachable child. By the way, what is your name?"

Chu Yuan suddenly remembered something and asked.

Continue your journey with empire

He had been so preoccupied with all this.

He had forgotten to even ask what this disciple's name was.

It shouldn't be…

It's not Ye, is it?

Upon hearing this, the Sect Master of Qian Yuan quickly answered, "Reporting to Respected Master! My family name is Su, given name Qianyuan!"

Su Qianyuan!

Good, not surnamed Ye. Then there shouldn't be a big problem.

Chu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief…
