Chapter 413: Comprehending the Great Dao Melody, Having Hands is Enough
Eastern Province.
Misty Mountain.
Outside the Wu Dao Sect Mountain Gate.
Chu Yuan returned here after learning about the situation with the Aspiring Path Sect.
He lost interest in watching any further.
He was not aware that Ning Fan had undergone transformation.
At the moment, all he saw was the simple and ancient mountain gate of the Wu Dao Sect.
Chu Yuan was wondering whether to enter the Sect or not.
If he went inside, he would lose his invincible state.
But it seemed that he must go up the mountain anyway.
He had to coax Si Yue and educate Xu Yu, the Innate Supreme, properly.
He also needed to check on the condition of Tu Xuexi and Tu Yelin, just to avoid any accidents.
Although he thought it unlikely.
After all, these were disciples doomed to fail, as assigned by the System.
But he still had to check on them.
Not to see if these two disciples had succeeded, but to see if they were still alive.
"Forget it, I'll just be a mortal for a while, and I can leave the mountain gate once I'm done,"
Chu Yuan muttered to himself.
His invincible state would be invalid once he entered the Sect.
It would only reactivate once he left the Sect.
If he entered the Wu Dao Sect, his invincible state would be turned off.
However, it was just a temporary shut-off.
Chu Yuan could accept that.
With that thought in mind.
Chu Yuan lifted his foot and walked into the mountain gate.
As he took this step.
A buzzing sound vibrated abruptly.
The golden specks around his body all disappeared, and feeling lightened, he almost stumbled and fell.
It took him quite a while to adjust.
"This is the true Mortal Realm..."
Chu Yuan fell silent.
To tell the truth, he had gotten used to his invincible state.
Suddenly switching to the Mortal Realm was a bit uncomfortable.
In the Mortal Realm, he had to rely on himself to walk.
Which made Chu Yuan feel quite helpless.
Sigh...
Let it be.
I'll just walk for a bit.
Once this Sect inspection is over, his cultivation levels would gradually return, and things would get better.
I cultivated from a mortal to the invincible!
Chu Yuan took a deep breath, encouraged himself, and walked deeper inside the mountain gate.
He relied solely on pure walking.
Walking up from the foot of the mountain into the Sect still took quite some time.
He walked for more than ten minutes before reaching the top of the mountain.
This was because Chu Yuan was at the high-order Mortal Realm; if he were an ordinary mortal, it would probably take half an hour to walk up.
After reaching the top, Chu Yuan looked at the familiar surroundings and felt somewhat emotional.
This was the Sect.
Which witnessed his fall from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Mortal Realm.
However, he believed that this Sect would also witness him rising from the Mortal Realm to the Tribulation Transcending Stage, achieving the invincible state.
It was inevitable!
Not to mention the help of the System.
Falling and falling, there must be a limit, a rebound from hitting rock bottom, right?
It couldn't go on falling forever.
If that were the case, it would bring tears to anyone's eyes.
Chu Yuan let out a deep sigh, ready to move on and first visit Si Yue.
He hadn't walked many steps.
When suddenly a thunderous roar deafened his ears, startling Chu Yuan.
Boom...
Chu Yuan turned his head to look.
The entire sky was illuminated by thunder and lightning, as a bolt struck down outside of Misty Mountain.
Chu Yuan couldn't see exactly where it was heading.
But since it didn't hit Misty Mountain, he didn't pay it much attention.
"Is that the Heavenly Father bombarding some unlucky sod?"
Chu Yuan shook his head without much concern. After thinking for a moment, he decided to first look for Ao Yu to inquire where Si Yue might be.
He wanted to see how Si Yue was faring now.
And then he planned to trick Si Yue a bit.
To prevent this Music Demon from becoming successful.
Chu Yuan made his way from the Sect Master's Great Hall Plaza to the kitchen area, and quickly found Ao Yu eating something.
Through Li Ergang's words.
Chu Yuan also quickly found out where Si Yue lived.
Si Yue resided in an area slightly to the south of the disciple's quarters.
After learning of this, Chu Yuan found Si Yue in no time.
Looking at Si Yue, whose body had become more solidified in front of him.
Chu Yuan was quite satisfied.
"It seems, Yue'er, your body should be fine now, right?"
Chu Yuan asked softly.
"Thanks to the Music of the Eight Sounds from my Respected Master, I have fully recovered," Si Yue said gratefully as she knelt before Chu Yuan.
She knew her own body best.
Without the Music of the Eight Sounds, she feared her body would have dispersed very soon.
It was all because of the Music of the Eight Sounds given by Chu Yuan that she survived.
This could be said to be Chu Yuan granting her a second lease on life; how could she not be grateful?
"As long as you're alright. Your master has just returned not long ago, and hasn't yet asked you, how is your cultivation going?"
Chu Yuan asked, with his hands clasped behind his back.
"Master... My cultivation has always been at the Foundation Establishment Realm. As a Music Demon, my cultivation growth is extremely slow..."
"Ordinary monsters might need ten or a hundred years to break through to the Golden Core Realm, but as a Music Demon with inherently low talent, it might take me a thousand years to break through..."
As Si Yue said this, her fine features flushed with crimson.
She was clearly embarrassed about her talent.
A thousand years to break through to Golden Core...
How mortifying.
After finishing, Si Yue cautiously glanced at Chu Yuan's expression.
She originally thought that her master would show disappointment on his face.
But unexpectedly, there wasn't a hint of disappointment on her master's face.
On the contrary, there seemed to be a bit of...
Joy?
Si Yue was puzzled, what was her master happy about?
Chu Yuan, on the other end, also noticed this and quickly adjusted his expression, returning to a calm and serene demeanour.
"Yue'er, you need not worry about your cultivation. You may need a thousand years to break through to the Golden Core Realm, a fate determined by your original trajectory. However, all that changed after you joined my sect," Chu Yuan spoke calmly and serenely.
In his heart, he was overjoyed.
Taking Si Yue under his wing was a clear windfall.
Si Yue herself said it would take a thousand years to break through to the Golden Core Realm, talent like that was nothing to write home about.
He didn't even need to bother teaching her.
Just let Si Yue play on her own.
After a year, when his own cultivation had sufficiently advanced, what happened next would be at his whim.
"Please enlighten me, Master!"
Si Yue, still puzzled, asked.
"Yue'er, I can teach you many things, but I still plan to let you comprehend the Great Dao Melody yourself. Only by understanding the Great Dao Melody can the flaws of your Music Demon's lowly talent be fully amended, and your path of cultivation will from then on be smooth sailing..."
Chu Yuan began another round of deception.
His only thought was one thing.
Keep Si Yue on her toes!
As for the Great Dao Melody, he had no clue what that was, but it was enough to serve as a stopgap.
"But Master, I don't know how to comprehend the Great Dao Melody..."
Si Yue still looked confused.
"That's too easy, all you need is a hand, let me explain it to you in detail..."
Chu Yuan, with sparkling eyes, went on to describe in excitement...
