Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Wayless Sect, before the gates.

Pangu!!

As the name escaped from Chu Yuan's mouth.

The previously attentive Ye Luo felt a violent shake in his heart.

An inexplicable sense of reverence spontaneously emerged.

He didn't know why he felt this way.

But there was a sense of awe.

It was as if this were something etched deep within his soul, now awakened.

This feeling of reverence was very strong.

So strong that Ye Luo couldn't control it.

"Respected Master, this Pangu..."

Ye Luo wanted to ask who Pangu was.

But he hadn't yet uttered the words.

A palpitation surged to his chest.

He couldn't pronounce the second word.

It seemed to be a taboo.

If he spoke it, he would be subjected to heavenly retribution.

Ye Luo felt somewhat panic-stricken.

But he quickly calmed down.

"Respected Master, what kind of existence is this deity, and why does the concept of the world and the heavens stem from Him?"

Ye Luo chose different words to inquire.

"Pangu is simply Pangu, there's no question about what kind of existence it is. And as for why the heavens and earth came into being because of Him, it's simple, He separated the heavens! Pangu opened the heavens!"

Chu Yuan spoke each word deliberately.

His enunciation was clear.

Without any hesitation.

When he uttered the words 'Pangu opened the heavens.'

A rumbling sound erupted.

In the sky above, a streak of lightning flashed.

Ye Luo's heart trembled.

His soul quivered slightly.

It was as if he was glimpsing some ancient secret.

Ye Luo felt fear.

An impulse not to listen any further welled up within him.

Just as he thought to shrink back.

Another thought emerged.

It was a sentence he once said.

The wielder of the sword shall never bend or yield, but charge ahead unflinchingly!

One sword to break all laws!

He could not retreat!

Ye Luo gritted his teeth and stood firm.

"Dare I ask Respected Master, what is the relation between my path and that of this great deity? Disciple is obtuse, please enlighten me, Master!"

Ye Luo faced Chu Yuan and bowed.

"Luo Er, the Dao you are pursuing now is sufficient. To ascend in Dao is but to bring you to another level. If you wish to ascend, you must have this intention: with the sword in your hand, slash through everything, open up everything! Be resolute, even if it's the heavens, you can open it! If you take it to the extreme, could you not be Pangu yourself?"

Chu Yuan's voice rose and fell with a compelling conviction, almost convincing himself.

But his words left Ye Luo thoroughly astounded.

He stared blankly at Chu Yuan, unsure of what to say.

With the sword in hand, slash through everything, open up everything!

If taken to the extreme, would he not be Pangu?!

"Foolish Child, do you not yet understand?"

Chu Yuan's words exploded in Ye Luo's mind.

Ye Luo swiftly came to his senses and knelt before Chu Yuan.

"Respected Master, I understand!"

Ye Luo said with utmost respect.

His mind had never been clearer than it was at this moment.

"Good that you understand. Remember, Luo Er, never feel that your own Dao is weak. There has never been a weak Dao, only weak cultivators!"

"The strength of the Sword Dao lies in the courage to slash everything and the heart to challenge everything,"

Chu Yuan lectured once more.

"Thank you, Respected Master, for your guidance. Your disciple will never again feel that his own Dao is weak!"

Ye Luo followed with a sentence of his own.

"As long as you all understand, that's good. Go up the mountain and call Han'er down."

Chu Yuan walked forward a few steps, looking up at the sky like a true sage.

"Yes, Respected Master."

Ye Luo's eyes shone brightly as he nodded and responded.

He then turned and walked up the mountain.

Seeing this scene,

Chu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Tribulation Transcending Stage? Even the Tribulation Transcending Stage has fallen prey to his smooth talk.

He couldn't be clearer about his own ability to bluff.

It sounds very reasonable.

In reality, it is utterly useless.

He is just a theorist.

What enlightenment can come from listening to some theories?

Are you joking?

If it were the past, that's another matter.

But what is he talking about now?

Even Pangu splitting the heavens has come up.

Could Ye Luo possibly enlighten himself to splitting the heavens too?

If that were possible,

someone named Chu would swallow all the heavens that Ye Luo splits, without even chewing.

Chu Yuan waited for a moment.

Shortly thereafter,

Zhang Han came down the mountain.

With this experience,

Chu Yuan no longer hesitated to bluff someone at the Tribulation Transcending Stage.

He felt that the difference between bluffing a weakling and bluffing someone at the Tribulation Transcending Stage was that you can casually deceive a weakling, but when bluffing someone at the Tribulation Transcending Stage, you needed to use grandiose language.

As for bluffing someone at the Tribulation Transcending Stage,

Chu Yuan naturally became proficient.

"Han'er, if you want to upgrade a formation, you should lean toward momentum."

"What is momentum? Let me explain it to you this way, the essence of a formation is to construct a physical shape and fill it with various materials to form the formation... Hmm? You don't need Array Materials for your formations, and I taught you to attract the forces of heaven and earth to establish formations?"

"It's the same, the same, I am just making an analogy."

"Think of Array Materials or whatever forces of heaven and earth as momentum. In this way, if you could eliminate the process of infusion altogether and directly use momentum to arrange the formation, allowing the formation to produce myriad changes, constantly evolving, that would indeed be considered an upgrade of your Dao."

"What? You're talking about the changes in the I Ching and Nine Palaces? Yes, yes, yes, exactly like you thought. Let me tell you more about the origin of the Eight Trigrams. This goes back to a great deity... This great deity's name is Fuxi..."

...

"Qian Yuan, you are pursuing the path of Body Cultivation, which is different from others. Yours is a path with only one direction, and you have no other options to choose from."

"My advice for you is 'Ten Thousand Laws Return to One, all things return to one'. By unifying everything, you can elevate your Dao."

"What? You ask why 'all things return to one, Ten Thousand Laws Return to One'? I've already told you everything that I needed to say, if you ask any more, what's the point? If more explanation is needed, I might as well teach a dog instead, no point in telling you anything..."

"What your teacher could teach, I have already taught..."

"In conclusion, your standards should be compared with those of the Ancestral Witch, whom I once mentioned to you. The Ancestral Witch is your target..."

...

"Luo Xue, if you want to upgrade your Dao, that becomes a bit more tricky..."

"In your opinion, what is the most important thing for a chess player?"

"Don't know? Then let me teach you. For a chess player, the most important thing is the rules. In this world, however exceptional the player is, they are constrained by the chessboard. What I want from you, is for you to master the rules."

"If you control the rules, all the people in the world either become chess pieces or chess players. Then, you will be able to stand at the highest point, looking down upon them, innately invincible!"

"Remember everything I've told you..."

"How to set up the rules? That's something you'll have to comprehend on your own. What you figure out by yourself is truly yours; what I tell you directly will never truly belong to you. I hope you understand..."
