Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Main Hall of Wayless Sect.

Looking at the gentlemanly young man before him,

Chu Yuan was preparing to start his persuasion once again.

Although the situations of Zhang Han and Ye Luo were different,

Chu Yuan would not give any more chances.

He was going to persuade, but it had to be a completely nonsensical kind of persuasion, the kind where there was not even a sliver of possibility.

Last time he persuaded Ye Luo, he at least used mana to slash with a sword; this time, he would rely on nothing but his words.

If Zhang Han still managed to realize something, he might as well call him "Daddy"!

Thinking of this, Chu Yuan assumed a nonchalant demeanor and said, "Han'er, tell me, out of the Three Thousand Great Dao, which one do you wish to pursue?"

Speak freely about which of the Three Thousand Great Dao you wish to learn, after all, I know none of them.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Han pondered for a moment before saying gently, "Respected Master, your disciple wishes to primarily cultivate the Immortal Path and to supplement it with the cultivation of formations... "

"However, as your disciple's Spirit Root has been destroyed, I seek guidance from you for a cultivation method."

Zhang Han's Spirit Root had been destroyed by lightning, and he had been unable to cultivate for ten years.

To pursue cultivation, he must first restore his Spirit Root.

The very reason he had sought out Chu Yuan as a master was that Chu Yuan claimed to have a solution for his cultivation problems.

Sitting on the Sect Master's throne, Chu Yuan listened to these words.

In his mind, the scene of Ye Luo joining the sect seemed to surface...

Wasn't it a similar conversation?

No, certainly not.

It must be his own overthinking.

"Han'er, for your master to solve the issue of your inability to cultivate is very simple, but I am currently unable to resolve this matter for you,"

"Joining our Wayless Sect, you must first meditate on the Dao for one year to observe the results, and then proceed with cultivation. That is the rule. Look outside; your senior brother is doing just that, meditating on the Dao day and night. Although it hasn't been a year yet, his abilities are already quite formidable!"

Chu Yuan spoke softly, stretching a finger from the expanse of his snow-white robe, pointing outside the hall.

This was the first time he had discovered,

Ye Luo was actually somewhat useful.

A perfectly good example to set.

In future persuasion of disciples, the credibility would be much higher.

Look, I have already successfully trained one disciple. If you cannot comprehend, it must certainly be your own issue, nothing to do with me!

However, using Ye Luo as an example had cost him a major realm.

Just thinking about it made his heart ache...

Zhang Han, standing to one side, was surprised to hear that his senior brother had not yet begun cultivating and was merely meditating on the Dao.

No cultivation, and yet to possess such oppressive force??

Could meditating on the Dao really be that powerful??

He had never heard of such a thing before.

Zhang Han smacked his forehead hard; this was a powerful sect, not to be compared with his own family. It was normal that he hadn't heard of it.

Moreover,

It was said that some truly mighty sects harbored secret inheritances that were not passed on lightly.

Perhaps, this was one of Wayless Sect's secret inheritances.

"Respected Master, your disciple has decided to cultivate in the way of formations!"

Zhang Han, having thought it through, said this without hesitation, his tone gentle and polite.

Cultivation of formations?

Chu Yuan stiffened for a moment.

"Cultivation of formations, hmm, naturally, I know it. But the Great Dao cannot be lightly transmitted, even if you are my disciple,"

"Here's what we'll do: I'll ask you a question, and if you answer it correctly, I will pass on to you the cultivation of formations. How about that?"

Chu Yuan quickly regained his composure and spoke in a carefree manner.

Before persuading, of course, he needed to set the mood.

If he were to openly talk about the way of formations being this and that, wouldn't it make it easy for others to see through his persuasion?

And furthermore, if he were to blatantly misdirect,

Zhang Han would ask him to demonstrate, and what would he use? His head?

Creating the right atmosphere makes it easier to persuade later.

As for Zhang Han,

Listening to these words,

His eyes lit up.

Discussing a question on the way of formations?

Although his Spirit Root was gone, he had a great deal of understanding when it came to the way of formations.

Discussing the cultivation of formations, he was confident.

Hence, Zhang Han clasped his hands together and said, "Respected Master, please ask!"

Chu Yuan rose to his feet, turned his back on Zhang Han, and walked to the entrance of the Main Hall.

A gentle breeze blew in.

It made his snow-white robe rustle and the long hair over his shoulders dance with the wind.

An indescribable aura arose about him.

"Let me ask you, what is the art of formations?"

Chu Yuan slightly turned his face, casting a glance at Zhang Han with his peripheral vision and asked.

What is the art of formations?!

Zhang Han's gaze became perplexed, having enjoyed studying formations since he was young and attaining lofty understanding of many formations.

Yet when he was asked what the art of formations was,

it left him somewhat bewildered.

What is the art of formations?

In the face of Chu Yuan's gaze.

Zhang Han subconsciously lowered his head, not daring to look directly at him.

Time ticked away gradually.

Ten or so minutes passed by.

Zhang Han still had his head lowered, seemingly lost in thought.

But Chu Yuan couldn't help himself anymore.

Damn, I've got better things to do.

I don't want to waste my time here with you.

"Have you figured it out?"

Chu Yuan couldn't resist urging him.

Zhang Han lifted his head, somewhat uncertain as he said, "Respected Master, is the art of formations about setting the formation? Using the formation to vanquish the enemy, once a formation is laid out, it can stop thousands with one, being innately invincible?"

"Wrong!!"

Chu Yuan didn't even bother listening to the end before he interjected his rejection.

It didn't matter if it was right or not.

Rejecting it was the right thing to do.

To build up the atmosphere,

how could he admit that Zhang Han was correct?

So, no matter what Zhang Han said, rejecting it was the course of action.

Zhang Han paused, then continued speaking, "Respected Master, the art of formations lies in the usage of formations, the formation is the core, hence the art of formations is the formation!"

"Wrong!!"

"Respected Master, the art of formations is about change, with countless variations of formations..."

"Wrong!!"

"Respected Master, the art of formations is..."

"Wrong!!"

"Respected Master, your disciple is slow-witted and doesn't know how to answer."

"Wrong!!"

Zhang Han: "???"

Respected Master, something isn't right with you.

Chu Yuan also realized what he was doing and nonchalantly said, "You cannot answer, and that is wrong, what doubt is there?"

Could he tell Zhang Han that he was used to rejecting outright?

That a word of rejection came out reflexively?

If he said that, the disciple would surely want to leave the Sect.

Zhang Han was momentarily startled, then he gracefully performed a salute, saying, "Respected Master, your disciple is slow-witted and doesn't understand what is the art of formations. I hope the Respected Master will enlighten me."

Chu Yuan looked up towards the sky outside the hall, silent for a long while.

"The most important aspect of the art of formations is the Dao, formations are dead, the Dao is alive, formations can be broken, but the Dao cannot, formations might cease to exist, but the Dao is eternal. The art of formations emphasizes the Dao, not the formations themselves. I want you to comprehend the Dao, you chose the art of formations, but I didn't instruct you to comprehend formations."

"Do you understand?"

Chu Yuan said slowly, his tone imbued with deep significance and enigma.

After speaking, he cautiously observed Zhang Han.

Noticing Zhang Han's befuddled expression, he immediately felt relieved.

Not understanding?

That's normal because he himself didn't understand what he was saying.

Indeed, the highest realm of baffling others is inadvertently to baffle oneself as well...
