Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?-Chapter 833 - 859 Respected Master I Understand
Chapter 833: Chapter 859: Respected Master, I Understand Chapter 833: Chapter 859: Respected Master, I Understand Inside the Ancestral Master Hall.
At this moment, the hall was still filled with the sound of Dao teachings.
But the listener was no longer Su Qianyuan – it was now Zisu.
Meanwhile, Su Qianyuan was taken to a side hall by Chu Yuan using Divine Light Minor.
It was euphemistically named to let Su Qianyuan understand what this so-called ‘transmission of Dao’ was good for.
Anyway, Chu Yuan was annoyed.
He didn’t want to give a serious sermon; instead, he had to play up tricks – so he wanted to see what this third disciple could comprehend from his bluffs.
...
Su Qianyuan, for his part, didn’t sense anything wrong; in fact, he was quite cheerful, thinking that his Respected Master was about to treat him to a feast.
To him, the small pot of teachings at the main hall was beneath him!
He would only settle for the banquet!
“Respected Master, your disciple is ready,”
Su Qianyuan said, rubbing his hands together and looking forward to it.
“Ready? Then wait a moment,”
Chu Yuan sat on a meditation cushion and took a deep breath.
He began to ponder.
Pondering about how to bluff Su Qianyuan.
Yes.
He planned to make it up on the spot, to ensure it was fresh.
He did want to see what Su Qianyuan could decipher.
“Yes, Respected Master,”
Su Qianyuan didn’t dare say much else and just stood obediently, waiting in silence.
“Hmm… Qian Yuan, let me ask you, have you ever learned about the Witch Clan’s Path of Dao Certification?”
Chu Yuan pondered for a moment before slowly starting to speak, clearly having thought of something and hence getting ready to bluff.
“To answer my Respected Master, I have learned about it. Those wills in the ether have once told me that I need to emulate the path of the great deity Pangu to certify my Dao,”
Su Qianyuan pondered and said, scratching his head.
“Pangu? Pangu’s path to enlightenment was a path of strength, which is incredibly difficult, and even Pangu himself did not succeed back then. Yet you seek to emulate him – you don’t think you have the talent to surpass such a being, do you?”
Chu Yuan instinctively blurted out these words.
Upon hearing this,
Su Qianyuan scratched his head and fell silent.
He didn’t know how to respond.
He nearly knew nothing about this subject, and all the information he had was communicated to him by those wills in the ether.
As for surpassing Pangu…
He thought it was absolutely impossible.
He wasn’t familiar with the great deity Pangu.
But from many a sign and trace, it wasn’t hard to tell that this deity Pangu was a luminary of an era.
Comparing himself to such an existence was simply masochistic.
“Respected Master, your disciple…”
Su Qianyuan fell silent for a long time and just as he was about to say something,
Chu Yuan interrupted him before he finished.
“Moreover, you and Pangu are fundamentally unlike each other; those wills are likely to be from the Wu Clan’s concoctions. The Wu Clan’s very origins are but the transformation of Pangu’s twelve drops of essence blood.”
“The real Pangu was not like you, who has no soul and relies solely on physical strength. The true Pangu was an Emperor who embodied physical strength, soul, and more, all in one with Great Magical Power. There’s no way you can be compared to him.”
Chu Yuan and Su Qianyuan exchanged these words.
This was not merely Chu Yuan bluffing Su Qianyuan.
It was because within his Divine Light Minor, there were records that informed him of such things.
And Su Qianyuan listened quietly to Chu Yuan narrate all this.
After waiting for Chu Yuan to finish, he fell into thought, seemingly contemplating these statements.
Chu Yuan didn’t interrupt but gave Su Qianyuan plenty of time to think.
After a good while,

Su Qianyuan finally came back to his senses and looked at his own master.
“Then, may I ask the Respected Master, where is my path?”
Su Qianyuan asked with bright eyes.
He felt that since his own master could say such things, it must mean that his Respected Master surely knew where his path was.
“Your path? Isn’t it right beneath your feet?”
Chu Yuan blurted out straightforwardly.
Although he hadn’t swindled anyone in a long time, that didn’t mean he had forgotten how to do so.
On the contrary, his skills in bamboozling had improved by leaps and bounds; the phrase “with each passing day” was enough to describe his prowess in the art of deception.
Upon hearing these words, Su Qianyuan was taken aback for a moment, his gaze instinctively dropping to his feet, but all he saw was the floor of the side hall.
The next instant, he came to a realization.
What the Respected Master was talking about, “the Way beneath your feet”, did not mean that the road was literally under his feet, but rather it had a different significance.
The “Way” referred to his own path of cultivation.
“Then Respected Master, does that mean as a disciple, I don’t need to do anything and just continue with my cultivation as I have been?”
Su Qianyuan looked at his mentor and asked.
“It cannot be said, it cannot be said.”
Chu Yuan cheerfully practiced Tai Chi.
He was just bluffing, after all; if pushed to explain exactly what needed to be done, he wouldn’t know.
He’d let his third disciple figure it out on his own.
“Then Respected Master…”
Su Qianyuan wanted to ask something else.
But Chu Yuan would not give him the chance.
“Qian Yuan, the teachings I have imparted to you are already plentiful. The next steps depend on you. Do not disappoint me; this is the greater furnace you wanted.”
Chu Yuan said with a not-quite-smile.
He was tired of duping the third disciple.
He’d rather send him away and then focus on teaching Zisu.
As for Su Qianyuan, a periodic check on his status would suffice.
He didn’t believe that Su Qianyuan could truly have an epiphany.
“Ah? Respected Master, that’s all?”
Su Qianyuan was stunned. That was just a few sentences.
That was all?
The rest was up to his own enlightenment?
Respected Master, I regret it.
I don’t want the greater furnace anymore.
I feel the smaller furnace is more suited to me.
“Indeed, in imparting the Way, only so much can be said. The Way is ineffably wonderful; speaking too much does no good. The rest relies on your own enlightenment.”
“Alright, Qian Yuan, you may withdraw for now; this is as much as your master can help.”
Chu Yuan gestured with his hand as he spoke.
“This… is, Respected Master.”
Su Qianyuan didn’t dare to say more, could only bow in salute, then prepared to leave the side hall.
He turned and walked out.
The words of his Respected Master echoed in his mind.
The Way is right beneath your feet.
Pangu’s Way was not the same as his.
The Way is ineffably wonderful.
What was his Way?
The Path of Body Refining!
What was at the core of his Way?
Body Refinement!
Did the Respected Master mean that he should persist with the Path of Body Refining, not to be affected by others’ Ways?
Yes, probably that was it.
But if he pursued the Path of Body Refining alone, when would he reach Dao certification?
The wills directed him to follow in the footsteps of the great Pangu.
Yet what the Respected Master said was clearly not in favor of following Pangu’s footsteps, and this was the conflict.
What was this all about?
No, that’s not it.
Su Qianyuan suddenly paused, as if he had realized something.
He wasn’t Pangu, so he couldn’t replicate Pangu’s feats of having both soul and body, as well as great magical power.
But he could mimic Pangu’s path, to forge his own, rather than imitate it entirely.
“Respected Master, I understand!!”
Su Qianyuan spun around, looked at Chu Yuan, and bellowed this revelation…
