Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?-Chapter 858 - 884: The 17th Disciple

Wayless Sect, Ancestral Master Hall.

Chu Yuan returned here, waiting quietly for Ye Luo to bring the disciple named ‘Ye Dao’.

After a short wait,

Ye Luo brought the person over.

Atop the great hall,

Ye Luo set down the disciple named ‘Ye Dao’ and then faced Chu Yuan, respectfully performing a salute.

“Disciple Ye Luo, greets Respected Master.”

Ye Luo once again performed a grand salute.

“No need for formalities, Luo Er, do you have any other matters? If not, you may go and cultivate on your own.”

Chu Yuan spoke softly.

His gaze remained fixed on Ye Dao.

“Respected Master, um, actually, your disciple has a question.”

Ye Luo touched his head, somewhat unsure of how to ask.

“Hmm? A question? Luo Er, between you and me, disciples and master, why the need for secrecy? Just ask directly.”

Chu Yuan raised an eyebrow and said.

“Respected Master, I wish to ask, how do you know the rankings after we disciples spar with each other?”

Ye Luo asked, filled with immense curiosity.

Indeed, he was extremely curious, as the Respected Master had never witnessed their sparring among brothers, nor tested their combat skills.

Why would he know their rankings after sparring?

“That matter? Who am I? As your master, if I didn’t even have this capability, how would that do?”

Chu Yuan gave a mysterious smile.

Could he say that he cheated using Divine Light’s powers?

Regarding Chu Yuan’s words,

Ye Luo naturally felt it inappropriate to ask further. He touched his head and could only take his leave.

Soon, inside the Ancestral Master Hall, only Chu Yuan and Ye Dao were left.

“Disciple Ye Dao, greets the Ancestral Master!!”

Seeing that the hall had quieted down and being silently observed by Chu Yuan, Ye Dao suddenly felt alarmed and quickly knelt down.

He referred to Chu Yuan as ‘Ancestral Master’.

The current Sect Master of the Wayless Sect is Ye Luo.

Chu Yuan was the previous Sect Master, and he felt calling him the Old Sect Master was disrespectful.

Referring to Chu Yuan as Respected Master, but he felt his own status did not match.

Thus he was unsure how to address him.

So he could only refer to Chu Yuan as ‘Ancestral Master’.

Implying the founder of a dynasty.

“Um, rise, your name is Ye Dao?”

Chu Yuan lightly hummed.

He was very satisfied with Ye Dao’s reaction, seeing that his authority was indeed significant.

This Ye Dao, who was calm and composed on the Fighting Stage, appeared so horrified in front of him.

Actually, it was similar to what Chu Yuan expected.

The Divine Light’s Major Account indeed possesses supreme authority.

Those like Ye Luo who frequently interact with Chu Yuan are fine, not feeling it deeply.

But for someone like Ye Dao, meeting Chu Yuan for the first time, it was different.

In their eyes, Chu Yuan seemed like a deity, causing an involuntary fear within them, uncontrollably kneeling down.

“Yes, yes, Ancestral Master, the disciple’s name is Ye Dao.”

Ye Dao was still kneeling on the ground.

Against his will, facing Chu Yuan, the pressure was too great; it wasn’t something he could simply stand up from.

“Ye Dao… very good, your aptitude is exceptionally promising, would you like to enter my tutelage and cultivate?”

Chu Yuan pondered for a moment, revealed a smile, and spoke.

“Ah??”

Ye Dao suddenly raised his head, somewhat bewildered.

Did he hear wrong?

This legendary figure, wants to take him as a disciple?

Is this… is he dreaming?

“How so? Are you unwilling?”

Chu Yuan frowned as his opponent did not respond for a long time and asked.

“No no no, I am willing, willing, the disciple is willing…”

Ye Dao quickly regained his senses and hurriedly spoke.

“It’s fine if you’re willing. Disciples of the Wayless Sect need not kneel all the time; you may rise now.”

Chu Yuan looked at Ye Dao, who continued to kneel on the ground, somewhat displeased, and spoke out.

“Ancestor, ancestor master, the disciple is also unwilling; the ancestor master’s pressure is too strong, and the disciple cannot rise…”

Ye Dao’s face turned red; he really wanted to stand, but he simply could not.

At that moment, he was pressed down firmly and couldn’t move at all.

It was not about whether he was willing to get up or not.

“You…”

Chu Yuan also realized the issue and felt a bit embarrassed.

He waved his hand, removing all the pressure from him.

He completely retracted his aura.

Then he waved gently towards Ye Dao, softly lifting Ye Dao up with the power of Divine Light.

“Thank you, Ancestor Master!”

Ye Dao hastily spoke up.

“No need to call me Ancestor Master, you may address me as Respected Master. Since you have joined under my tutelage, according to our ranks, you shall be the seventeenth disciple. Do you understand this?”

Chu Yuan sat cross-legged on the cushion and spoke in a calm tone.

“Master, Respected Master, the disciple understands.”

Ye Dao bowed his head and responded.

Hearing this.

Chu Yuan slightly nodded, feeling that this disciple was quite obedient.

Strong aptitude and clever, very good, indeed a fine disciple.

With that thought, he slowly stood up from the cushion.

He stood in front of Ye Dao for a moment.

After a short pause, he continued to walk forward.

Within a few steps, he arrived at the entrance of the Ancestral Master Hall, looked up outside the hall, his lips slightly parted, and he spoke slowly.

“Now, the Wayless Sect is divided into Inner Sect and Outer Sect, the Outer Sect, frankly, consists of nominal disciples, whom I haven’t even personally seen, but the Inner Sect is different.”

“The disciples of the Inner Sect are all personally taught by me, each one of them is very important. In the Inner Sect, there are no other rules, but there is one: you must not harm your fellow disciples.”

“There’s only this one rule for the Inner Sect, and all Inner Sect Disciples must abide by it. If anyone violates this, even if they flee to the ends of the earth, I will personally execute them. Ye Dao, do you understand?”

Chu Yuan spoke these words with a calm tone.

As he finished speaking, he suddenly turned around to look at Ye Dao.

His gaze was piercing, as if seeing through one’s heart.

“Respected Master, the disciple understands!”

Ye Dao responded promptly.

As he answered, there was a bitterness in his heart.

He wanted to ask Chu Yuan how he could possibly harm his fellow disciples, being a mere Earth Immortal.

His senior brothers and sisters were tremendously powerful, akin to Saints, and even the less capable could extinguish him in a breath.

But he dared not ask and could only honestly answer that he understood.

“Good that you understand. Before you officially begin cultivation under me, I have to ask you, which path do you wish to cultivate…”

Chu Yuan spoke, but then he paused, stunned.

An old habit kicked in.

He was about to start off by deceiving again.

He quickly shook his head.

This was supposed to be real teaching, not deception.

“Enough, just follow by my side. I shall explain the Dao to you, and you just need to listen.”

Chu Yuan felt that explaining the Dao was the best way to teach this youngest disciple.

Only through explaining the Dao could it be most effective.

With such a talented disciple, he would surely become strong quickly under his guidance.

“Yes, Respected Master.”

How could Ye Dao refuse? He could only nod obediently and agree.

Seeing this obedient young disciple.

Chu Yuan also satisfiedly smiled.

He might not be good at teaching worthless disciples, but nurturing talents, that surely he should be able to manage?
