Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

With the promise that the Great Ancestor Chu Yuan of the Dragon Clan would intervene once, the Dragon Clan began their own journey towards dominance.

The Dragon Clan didn't declare war directly on any Race.

Instead, they "intentionally" leaked the information that the Great Ancestor of the Dragon Clan would only take action once.

This caused unrest among all the Races, especially those inimical towards the Dragon Clan.

They feared that the Dragon Clan would point their spears at them.

Knowing that the Great Ancestor of the Dragon Clan would only intervene once, they understood that the chances of their own Race's survival were significant.

Therefore, they did not entertain the thought of a fight to the death with the Dragon Clan.

In this situation,

The Dragon Clan began their invasion of the various Races.

The Dragon Clan didn't overdo it but invaded the others with extreme caution step by step.

The Dragon Clan played this hand very smoothly.

They didn't stage a large-scale invasion but eroded the territories of other Races piece by piece.

Through the weakening of the other Races, they bolstered their own might.

Perversely, the other Races had no ability to resist.

They feared that excessive resistance would invite the animosity of the Dragon Clan, and if the Dragon Clan used the Great Ancestor's one-time intervention on their Race, they would truly be at a loss.

Before the Dragon Clan expended the Great Ancestor's one-time intervention, none daring to wage open war against them.

The Dragon Clan had a firm grip on this situation.

Seizing this opportunity, the Dragon Clan started to grow stronger and stronger.

...

On this day,

A message from within the Dragon Clan spread, causing a stir among the various Races of the Demon Clan.

The Great Ancestor of the Dragon Clan wished to take an apprentice.

Within the Tianjian Continent, those who had confidence in their own talents could go to the Dragon Clan to try their luck, and if the Great Ancestor of the Dragon Clan took a fancy to them, their rise to glory would be meteoric.

Among the Demon Race, when it comes to ancestors of a certain level, there remains only the Great Ancestor of the Dragon Clan.

If they could secure this Ancestor as a backer, then fortune would surely smile upon them; even if their own clan did not rise, they could still get by under the aegis of the Dragon Clan.

Consequently, countless prides of the Demon Clan visited the Dragon Clan.

For a time, within the Dragon Clan, the courtyards were as busy as a marketplace, bustling with activity.

...

Within the highest cave dwelling of the Dragon Clan,

The Dragon Clan Chief, Ao Tian, was reporting the situation to Chu Yuan.

"Old Ancestor, by now hundreds of the Demon Clan's Prouds have gathered within our clan; although most of them are newly minted Prouds, they can be considered Prouds with some leniency."

"Whenever you have time, Old Ancestor, I could arrange for you to take a look."

Ao Tian spoke with utmost respect.

Sitting at the desk in front of him, Chu Yuan listened while nodding his head from time to time, showing he was paying attention.

This matter of summoning the Demon Clan's Prouds to the Dragon Clan was naturally his doing.

Chu Yuan thought for a while and felt that the selection of a worthy disciple must not be delayed.

Hence, he came up with this plan, releasing the news that he wanted to take on an apprentice, to actively attract candidates.

Then, using the System, he would observe and see if there were any worthy disciples available.

"Okay, I understand, let's wait a bit longer for more from the Demon Race to come," replied Chu Yuan to Ao Tian.

At the same time, he was monitoring the System template.

[Searching in progress, please wait a moment, Host...]

[Estimated search time: 9423 years]

Nine thousand four hundred twenty-three years…

That worthy disciple is quite distant from him.

In such a case, it's unnecessary for him to go meet those Demon Clan Prouds.

Indeed, advising Ao Tian to wait for more from the Demon Race to come was the right decision.

He would just need to check the System, and as soon as it detects a worthy disciple, he would immediately begin verifying one by one...

In Chu Yuan's view, this method was perfect.

He could be the Great Ancestor of the Dragon Clan while also attending to his own 'business.'

It was so perfect that he was left speechless.

It made someone named Chu feel incredibly intelligent for coming up with such a plan.

"Yes, Old Ancestor,"

the Dragon Clan Chief replied directly, not daring to have any objections to the Old Ancestor.

Whatever the Old Ancestor said, that was the law.

If the Old Ancestor said to wait, then they must wait!

"Hmm, and also, it's not necessary for only the Prouds of the Demon Race to come here. Those ordinary and unremarkable members of the Demon Race can also come over."

"Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Chu Yuan slowly spoke.

"I understand, I completely understand, Old Ancestor."

Ao Tian hastily nodded in response.

"Good that you understand. Besides, has the Dragon Clan recently gone to war with any other Races? Or is there a need for me to take action?"

Chu Yuan looked up at Ao Tian and asked.

"There's no need for the Old Ancestor to take action just yet, rest assured. When it's time for you to act, I will definitely tell you," Ao Tian replied repeatedly.

"Hmm..."

Chu Yuan nodded slightly.

After exchanging some niceties with Ao Tian, he let Ao Tian leave.

Once Ao Tian was gone,

Chu Yuan began his daily routine, checking the scrolls in his storage bag. Then he repeatedly reviewed the System's teaching mode to see how much time was left.

This time was the distance.

Through time, he could easily know if there were any Worthless Disciples nearby who could be taught.

Chu Yuan patiently carried out his daily routine.

...

After several days had passed,

finally, on this day, while completing his daily routine, Chu Yuan noticed a change in the System's teaching mode.

[Searching in progress, please wait, Host...]

[Estimated search time: 8321 years]

Over eight thousand years?

Before it was over nine thousand years.

The leap of more than a thousand years, what did it signify?

It indicated that the distance between them had shortened considerably.

Was this because that teachable Worthless Disciple had heard his offer to take on a student and had thus travelled thousands of miles to come here?

If that was the case, then that would be wonderful.

Chu Yuan took a deep breath and patiently waited; he wanted to see if the distance between them would shorten even more the next day.

...

Soon the next day arrived.

Chu Yuan checked the changes in the System's teaching mode for the first time.

[Searching in progress, please wait, Host...]

[Estimated search time: 7231 years]

Shortened by another thousand years?

Chu Yuan was gradually becoming excited.

He waited eagerly.

...

Another day went by.

[Searching in progress, please wait, Host...]

[Estimated search time: 6451 years]

...

Another day...

[Searching in progress, please wait, Host...]

[Estimated search time: 5312 years]

...

After several days of eager anticipation,

the search time on that teaching template finally dropped into the double digits.

Chu Yuan looked at the System screen in front of him, visible only to himself.

[Searching in progress, please wait, Host...]

[Estimated search time: 25 years]

What did this mean?

It meant the teachable Worthless Disciple was not far from him.

He needed only to search, and it would be quite easy to find them.

With this thought in mind,

Chu Yuan no longer hesitated and left his cave dwelling to search personally...
