Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Chapter 187 The Wayless Sect Must Be a Hidden Sect! (Seeking Monthly Passes)

Atop the stairs.

The representatives of the Hidden Sects, including Wu Yue, all quieted down, their gazes converging on Chu Yuan.

They wanted to listen to Chu Yuan reveal the Daoist Magic inheritance of the East State Hidden Sect.

Chu Yuan closed his eyes and pondered for a moment before slowly beginning to speak.

"I hail from the Wayless Sect, the Wayless Sect, as you might guess, an East State Hidden Sect."

"As the name of our Sect suggests, we don't possess a specific Daoist Magic inheritance; one might say we are 'wayless.' What is 'wayless'? The Dao originally comes from nothingness; from nothingness arises one, one gives birth to myriad laws, and Ten Thousand Laws Return to One! 'Nothingness' precedes the 'one'!"

"The way has no order of precedence, but the laws clearly have their sequence! Imparting laws to disciples, in the end, isn't the way of the disciple, but of another. The Wayless Sect imparts the way by always allowing disciples to comprehend their own Daoist Magic..."

Chu Yuan said slowly.

His mind worked like a machine, spinning rapidly.

He bluffed a whole bunch of stuff based on reality.

Anyway, he didn't think he was cheating, really.

He indeed had spouted a bunch of nonsense to those three backstabbing disciples of his, and then they just got it.

Imparting the way to them was about letting the disciples understand their own Daoist Magic.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with that!!

Chu Yuan gave his speech with ease.

His words reached the ears of the representatives from the Zhongzhou Hidden Sect.

However, their expressions grew odd.

They felt that this person before them was mocking them.

Did this mean that what they imparted was merely the precedents' way, while the Wayless Sect advocated for disciples to comprehend their own Daoist Magic?

In essence, was he saying that all these Hidden Sects were inferior to the Wayless Sect?

Their mouths opened, but they didn't know how to retort.

They were just representatives; to debate Daoist Magic with Sect Master Chu before them seemed somewhat disrespectful.

Upon reflection, they quelled their thoughts, memorized Chu Yuan's words, and planned to relay them to the Sects they represented once they returned.

One of the representatives, upon further thought, stepped forward, faced Chu Yuan, and gave a respectful bow.

"Senior, may I ask if the Wayless Sect truly has a legacy of three million years? Or is it even longer? There are rumors that before the existence of heaven and earth, there was only 'waylessness.' Does the Wayless Sect originate from before the formation of heaven and earth?"

The person looked at Chu Yuan eagerly, seeking an answer.

Upon hearing this,

Chu Yuan's face stiffened for a moment, but then he kept a deadpan expression, calm as a gentle breeze or a soft cloud, without answering but simply shaking his head slightly.

Inside, he ranted furiously.

The Wayless Sect you're talking about must be the real East State Hidden Sect, right?!

I'm just someone skimming off the reputation of others; you ask me, I'll conjure some snake oil answer for you!

And "Wayless Sect, existing before the dawn of heaven and earth"? Cut the crap, will you? The Wayless Sect literally means there's no way to carry on. The most useless Sect in history, get it?

But Chu Yuan dared not say that out loud, so he could only remain expressionless and silent.

Seeing that Chu Yuan would not answer, the person who asked seemed to realize something, gave another respectful bow to Chu Yuan, then stepped back.

Observing this scene, the other few representatives wanted to ask something as well, but finding themselves at a loss, they just fell silent.

Chu Yuan, seeing that they had stopped asking questions, silently heaved a sigh of relief.

However, it was Wu Yue who, noting the silence that had again descended, wanted to warm up the atmosphere, so he stood up once more.

"Then may I ask, Sect Master Chu, what is the fundamental Dao upon which your Sect is established? Of course, I am just curious, perhaps Sect Master Chu could give us just a few pointers on the fundamental Dao?"

Wu Yue initiated the conversation.

"The fundamental Dao? I'm afraid you all wouldn't understand it," Chu Yuan replied, after pondering for a moment, not really wanting to say more, aware that speaking too much might lead to mistakes.

Upon hearing this,

The previously silent representatives from the Zhongzhou Hidden Sects suddenly lit up.

Their task was to collect specific details about the Daoist Magic of the East State Hidden Sects, and the more they could gather, the better.

If they could acquire even a couple of phrases about the fundamental Dao of the East State Hidden Sect, that would be more than ideal.

"Senior, while we may not understand, that doesn't prevent us from admiring the Dao of your esteemed Sect."

"Yes, Senior, please feel free to speak freely," another encouraged.

"Indeed, Senior, when we were speaking earlier, we essentially shared the fundamental Dao of our own Sects. It seems only right that you also share a bit about yours," another added.

The few stirred the atmosphere into action.

"Fine, since that's the case, then I will say a few words, hoping you can understand."

"The Dao that can be told is not the eternal Dao, the name that can be named is not the eternal name..."

Seeing this, Chu Yuan recited the only two lines from the 'Tao Te Ching' that he remembered.

After finishing,

he looked up at those people, fearing that they had detected something amiss in his words.

However, when Chu Yuan looked at the crowd, he was stunned.

These people, including Wu Yue, all showed a dumbfounded expression, as if they had realized something.

What on earth had happened?

Chu Yuan was stunned.

And somewhat panicked.

He could only try to maintain a calm demeanor, waiting quietly for them to return to their senses.

Silence fell upon the staircase.

Until, two hours later,

one person revealed an aura that was both mysterious and profound.

This person acted like a primer,

instantly causing a chain reaction, and the others, including Wu Yue, displayed the same mysterious and profound aura.

It was as if they had achieved some kind of breakthrough.

"Thank you, Senior, for imparting the teachings! We disciples have gained insight!"

The individuals quickly rose to their feet, their expressions full of gratitude as they bowed deeply to Chu Yuan.

A standard junior's salute.

This caused the seated Chu Yuan to be repeatedly taken aback.

You gained insight?

Insight??

I just spoke one sentence, and you all gained insight?

How come I haven't gained insight??

My disciples can gain insight, you all can gain insight, but not me??

Is it because I don't have hands?

So, it's just the whole world against me, everyone else bathed in the protagonist's halo, the Child of Destiny, blessed with unparalleled fortune.

"You may dispense with the formalities." Experience tales at empire

Chu Yuan forced a smile as he spoke.

"Senior, the time for the Sect Gathering is almost up; it should come to an end now. I believe it should be announced as such, what does Senior think?"

Wu Yue took it upon himself to change the address from 'Sect Master Chu' to 'Senior.'

"Agreed."

Chu Yuan, feeling depressed, could not wait to leave immediately, so of course, he would not refuse.

Upon hearing these words,

Wu Yue stood up, shut down the shielding formation, faced the crowd below, and officially declared the end of the Sect Gathering. The Sect Competition would take place three days later, which would also signal the beginning of the grand contest.

With the gathering declared over, the masters of the various Holy Lands naturally did not dare to object and orderly departed from the palace.

Chu Yuan, seeing this, also immediately mounted his steed and left, heading back to the mountain peak. He had no desire to stay there any longer.

However, the representatives from the Zhongzhou Hidden Sects remained seated in place, not one of them leaving. They sat absorbed, watching the retreating figure of Chu Yuan, lost in thought.

"The Dao that can be told is not the eternal Dao... With just this one line, I recognize this Hidden Sect! If anyone dares to claim the Wayless Sect is not a Hidden Sect, I will be the first to hunt them down! Even if it is the Sect Master of my own sect!!"

"I think I'm starting to understand why Senior Chu said to let disciples comprehend their own Daoist Magic..."

"A single sentence from Senior Chu is worth a hundred years of my diligent practice!"

"A hundred years? Can a mental state breakthrough come from a hundred years of diligent practice?"

"How wonderful would it be if I could become a disciple of Senior Chu? The basic Dao is as such; if it were the true transmission... Hiss, it's unimaginable."

"I have a bold idea."

As they chatted among themselves, the conversation suddenly took a turn.

Wu Yue, watching this unfold, felt his eyelids twitch uncontrollably, quickly urging them all to return to their sects.

He feared that if they continued, the conversation would likely shift to when they should defect and join the Wayless Sect.

By then, wouldn't the Zhongzhou Hidden Sects want to kill him...
