Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Standing inside the great hall,

Zhang Han was utterly shocked.

The words of his Respected Master echoed in his mind.

Array is about Dao; the most important thing is the Dao. Formations are static, Dao is dynamic...

Formations can be broken, but Dao cannot. Formations may cease to exist, but Dao is eternal...

In the way of formations, what is important is the Dao, not the formations. I asked you to perceive the Dao; you chose the way of formations, but I did not ask you to perceive formations...

These sentences,

When they fell into Zhang Han's ears, were like the Great Dao Melody, deafening him.

Zhang Han might not have understood the specific meanings of these words,

But he felt...

That these words, were very reasonable.

Every single word and sentence pointed to the essence.

Is this Respected Master?

As fearsome as this!

"Respected Master's words have awoken the disciple, I understand now!"

"I earnestly request that Respected Master gives this disciple another chance!"

Zhang Han hurriedly said.

He remembered what his master had just said.

He asked him a question, which he would have to answer before being granted the teaching.

But he hadn't managed to answer it at all.

If the master decided not to impart the teaching because of this, he would suffer a great loss.

Thus, Zhang Han could not help but feel anxious.

On the other side, at the hall's entrance, Chu Yuan, who was enjoying the breeze, did not respond, only glancing at Zhang Han with his peripheral vision.

Acceptable.

This second disciple, is quite promising.

Look, just look at him.

Such a face of sincerity.

Totally different from when that kid Ye Luo joined the Sect.

This second disciple could never be the same as Ye Luo!

Without a doubt, he's a good-for-nothing! An absolute good-for-nothing! Beyond redemption!

However, he couldn't just blurt out something now.

He must make this second disciple understand how precious the 'Dao' he is seeking is.

This would also test the disciple's patience.

If he couldn't perceive it, and much time passed, the second disciple would definitely grow impatient.

But by then, it might be embarrassing for him to seek help, right?

After all your begging, I impart the Dao to you, and then you turn around and ask me for guidance again; wouldn't that show your incompetence?

In such a case,

The second disciple would definitely be too embarrassed to come to him for guidance later on.

He could drag this out a bit longer.

When a year had gone by, wouldn't that small advancement in realms be in his hands?

Thinking like this,

Ye Luo was actually just an exception.

Most good-for-nothings are normal.

To teach a disciple who was a good-for-nothing from the start,

Isn't it enough to have hands?

Hmph, hmph hmph, hmph hmph hmph.

Everything was under the control of someone named Chu.

Chu Yuan's silence,

Fell into Zhang Han's eyes,

Only causing Zhang Han to panic even more.

If this hindered his chance at cultivation, he could die of regret.

Thump...

Zhang Han resolutely knelt down, and gave his master a kowtow.

"I beg Respected Master to give your disciple another chance, this disciple truly wishes to follow the master in cultivation!"

Zhang Han spoke with sincere conviction,

Fearing that his master might really not impart the Dao because of this.

It was at that moment,

Chu Yuan suddenly turned around and helped Zhang Han to his feet, then let out a deep sigh.

"Foolish child, foolish child..."

"Forget it, I will transmit the way of formations to you, you better comprehend it well."

"Come with me."

Chu Yuan turned and walked towards the outside of the hall.

Zhang Han took a deep breath, feeling somewhat excited; was he finally about to enter the ranks of cultivators?

A bit exhilarated,

He hurriedly followed behind his master.

The two, one after the other,

Arrived at the other side of the square outside the great hall.

Chu Yuan first glanced at Ye Luo, who was thousands of meters away perceiving the Dao, then walked to a spacious area.

Looking at the floor beneath him,

He concentrated mana on his sword finger and slashed down fiercely.

Clang...

The collision of mana and floor rang out like a metallic sound.

With a clang.

Then.

There was nothing more.

Not even a scratch was left on the plaza floor.

The air became quiet in an instant.

Chu Yuan's raised finger stiffened.

Then, quite naturally, he lowered it.

Without blushing or skipping a beat.

"Han'er, did you have an epiphany?"

Chu Yuan's face, thicker than the city walls, asked with feigned nonchalance.

Zhang Han: "???"

What epiphany should I have had?

Who am I?

Where am I?

Where am I supposed to go?

Chu Yuan just stood next to him, quietly waiting for Zhang Han to speak.

He cursed the floor in his heart.

He wanted to crack it open, to let Zhang Han reflect on the air at his leisure.

But this, damn it,

Was the floor made of titanium alloy???

His strike at the Golden Core Realm didn't even make a scratch!!!

Couldn't he get a little respect for being in the Golden Core Realm?!

Golden Core Realm cultivators don't have rights, huh?

Luckily, someone named Chu was quick on his feet.

He asked a counter question, giving Zhang Han something to ponder,

clearly suggesting that it wasn't Chu Yuan's fault, but Zhang Han's lack of insight.

Zhang Han took a deep breath and bowed, "Respected Master... your disciple is dull and had no epiphany."

Chu Yuan put on a look of regret.

As if it was a great pity.

He said,

"Your insight is somewhat weaker than your senior brother's. He had an epiphany instantly. Well, let it be."

"Come, follow your master to the sect gate," he continued.

"Let me help you understand in a simpler way."

Chu Yuan shook his head, looking helpless.

Got a problem? Just use Ye Luo as an example.

After all, Ye Luo was trained by me. If there's a problem, it's your lack of insight, not mine.

Chu Yuan turned his head and started walking toward the sect gate.

I may have no way with you, plaza, but that boulder below the sect gate, I can't possibly be helpless with that one, can I?

Next to the Wayless Sect's gate was a huge boulder which he remembered very clearly.

It was just an ordinary rock.

He refused to believe he couldn't deal with a mere rock!

Zhang Han, muddled and confused, followed his master to the sect gate.

He was still perplexed about his supposed lack of insight.

He had low insight?

The one who once had the Heavenly Spiritual Root and was touted as a prodigy by numerous Array Masters, able to spot the flaws in any formation?

Now he was being told he had low insight.

But since it was his Respected Master who said it, it seemed acceptable.

Before leaving the plaza, Zhang Han took a deep look at Ye Luo, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground.

Respected Master said senior brother understood instantly...

It seemed he would need to seek more guidance from his senior brother in the future.

...

The Wayless Sect's gate was immense, resembling a towering mountain in the distance, majestic and imposing.

Anyone who saw it

Would feel awe.

I must say.

The Sect created by the System is quite flawless.

Of course, it would be even better if we could forget about that one embarrassing incident with the plaza floor.

Chu Yuan led Zhang Han to the sect gate.

He immediately spotted the inconspicuous boulder next to the magnificent gate.

Rock brother, it's your turn!

Chu Yuan walked up to the huge boulder.

Without hesitation,

He concentrated mana in his fingertip, extending it from his sleeve and making a swift swipe.

Crack...

Stone chips flew all around.

A neat crevice appeared right in the middle.

Yes, there was nothing unusual.

It was simply a mark made with mana,

The kind any cultivator at the Qi Refinement Stage could make.

In Zhang Han's puzzled gaze,

He heard Chu Yuan's voice beside him.

"Han'er, did you have an epiphany this time?"

...
