Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Chapter 696 - 722 Chu Yuans Shadow

Chapter 696: Chapter 722: Chu Yuan’s Shadow Chapter 696: Chapter 722: Chu Yuan’s Shadow “Senior brother, I suspect that Respected Master might have his sights set on the Upper Realm’s Heavenly Dao!”

“Wait, senior brother, don’t be quick to hit me; I’m telling the truth. Think about it, Respected Master once took us as disciples in the Lower Realm, and what happened after that? He then knocked out the Heavenly Dao and took its place himself.”

“Now that Respected Master has come to the Upper Realm, he’s repeating the same pattern; isn’t that enough to prove something?”

Zhang Han stood beside Ye Luo, speaking eloquently, expressing his point of view to the latter.

Ye Luo didn’t speak, just quietly listened, without uttering a word.

When Zhang Han had said everything, he too didn’t speak a single word.

Seeing Ye Luo silent, Zhang Han subconsciously glanced over at him.

...

“Senior brother, why aren’t you saying anything?”

That’s what Zhang Han asked.

As soon as he spoke.

Ye Luo didn’t reply.

Instead, he used the back of his Immortal Sword to pat Zhang Han.

Zhang Han, caught off guard, was directly knocked to the ground.

Thud…

Dust rose and filled the air.

However, it was clear that Ye Luo had controlled his strength; it was just for fun.

The second brother was at most a bit embarrassed, but there really was no harm done.

“No, senior brother, did I say something wrong?”

Zhang Han stood up from the ground, his face full of grievance.

“You didn’t say anything wrong,”

Ye Luo said with a smile, his fingertips brushing the leaves, his back bearing the Immortal Sword.

“Then why did you hit me?”

Zhang Han was perplexed.

“Can’t I hit you if there’s nothing wrong?”

Ye Luo glanced over indifferently and spoke.

Zhang Han: “…”

He found himself at a loss for words.

It seems he was just deemed a punching bag, to be hit whenever the mood struck.

Realm! It was all because of the realm!

Dammit.

One day, he would advance to a realm even higher than Ye Luo’s.

Then he would see who would hit whom.

Fortune turns like a wheel; do not underestimate the young and poor!

Zhang Han gritted his teeth.

“What you said makes a lot of sense. Respected Master is likely aiming for the Upper Realm’s Heavenly Dao, but the Heavenly Dao of the Upper Realm is not simple,” Ye Luo said as he raised his head to look toward the firmament, his gaze full of meaning.

“Not simple? In what way is it not simple?”

Zhang Han rarely dealt with the Heavenly Dao and hadn’t paid much attention to the forces in the Upper Realm, so he knew very little.

“The Heavenly Dao exists within the Tiantu, and this Tiantu is more like a power faction. I feel it’s not like the Heavenly Dao we had in the Lower Realm before, which lacked sentience. This one seems to be a sentient Heavenly Dao.”

Ye Luo had naturally read many books and had first-hand experience as well.

So he was very clear about it.

He also had his judgment.

He felt that the Heavenly Dao was sentient!

“The Heavenly Dao has sentience?”

Zhang Han was taken aback by this assertion, and then felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

He had previously postured in front of the Heavenly Dao and even created a Yin Yang Chaos Great Formation.

In the end, he was merely restricted by the Heavenly Dao.

Looking at it now, wasn’t he lucky to be alive?

“Indeed, junior brother, you make a good point. Respected Master is very likely to try to take over the Upper Realm’s Heavenly Dao. We couldn’t help much last time we were in the Lower Realm; this time in the Upper Realm, we must offer our assistance,” Ye Luo said convincingly, his eyes filled with determination.

“But, senior brother, I’m only at the True Immortal Realm right now; is that really okay?”

Zhang Han was instantly confused.

Shouldn’t they be focusing on their cultivation now?

Why delve into this matter?

He’s just a True Immortal.

Not like Ye Luo, who is already a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

“What’s wrong with that? We’re not saying you need to have fighting power to do it. As long as you’re capable enough, that’s fine. What, don’t you want to make an effort for Respected Master?”

Ye Luo stared at Zhang Han as he spoke.

“Willing, of course, I’m willing. How could I not be willing? Of course I am,” Zhang Han hastened to express his eagerness.

Zhang Han had a pained expression on his face as he answered.

“Isn’t that just fine? We’ll contact our junior brother and sisters later and work together. When our Respected Master is ready to act against the Upper Realm’s Heavenly Dao, we will all support him!”

A gleam flickered in Ye Luo’s eyes, for his heart had already formulated a rough plan.

…

At the same time.

Within the Mountain Cave Mansion.

Chu Yuan was meeting with his new disciple.

The first thing he did was to activate the System to check this new disciple, Chen Jun.

[Name: Chen Jun]

[Cultivation Levels: Mortal (without Dao Fruit)]

[Flaws: Everywhere]

Mortal.

It seemed to be correct.

Completely ordinary, quite normal.

However, what he sought was an honest disciple.

This person didn’t seem very honest either.

Chu Yuan sized up Chen Jun from head to toe.

This disciple looked like a scholar, not at all like someone earnestly honest.

“Chen Jun, is it? Jun’er, are you willing to take me as your master?”

Chu Yuan was seated on a meditation cushion, looking serenely at this new disciple.

“Disciple Chen Jun is willing to take you as master!”

Without a second word, Chen Jun thumped to the ground, kneeling and performing a deep bow.

As he bowed, he stole glances around, seeming quite uneasy in this unfamiliar environment.

“Rise. Now that you have taken me as your master, I shall converse with you. My name is Chu Yuan, I am a cultivator who ascended from the Lower Realm, and you are to be my sixteenth disciple…”

Chu Yuan spoke at length.

He was telling his new disciple everything.

Chen Jun listened quietly, nodding and responding to Chu Yuan from time to time.

After Chu Yuan had roughly finished explaining matters, he turned his gaze back to Chen Jun.

“Jun’er, now that you have entered my tutelage, you must engage in cultivation. What path would you like to cultivate?”

Chu Yuan began his usual patter.

He felt that, without the interference of the New Heavenly Dao and the Old Heavenly Dao, teaching a worthless disciple was very simple.

The way he taught his worthless disciples was also absolutely not mistaken.

It was all because the Old Heavenly Dao and the New Heavenly Dao had been interfering that he was unable to teach his worthless disciples successfully.

Now without them, wouldn’t teaching a worthless disciple be straightforward?

“Well, master, Respected Master, this disciple is incapable of cultivating…”

Chen Jun explained a bit awkwardly.

“Incapable of cultivating? What’s that about? Could it be that you are a good-for-nothing?”

Chu Yuan was startled for a moment and then inquired.

“That… if I were to use Respected Master’s words, then indeed, this disciple is akin to a good-for-nothing.”

Chen Jun fell silent for a moment before answering.

Upon hearing this,

Chu Yuan nearly jumped up from his meditation cushion in fright.

Good-for-nothing!

The moment these two characters were uttered,

He couldn’t help but recall that dark and difficult period of his past.

No, no.

This was different.

There was no System, Old Heavenly Dao, or New Heavenly Dao to interfere now.

It was impossible for him to be betrayed by his disciple again.

This just could not be.

Chu Yuan suppressed the fear in his heart, protected his spirit, and calmed himself.

Whew.

This was truly a psychological shadow.

The shadow that had been cast before.

He remembered the days when he was a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, a figure who commanded respect in the Cultivation Realm.

And then later, he fell until he no longer had the will to continue.

That shadow, to say he could forget it, that was false.

It wouldn’t do; he needed to adjust his mental state.

He had to realize that times had changed…
