Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

```

Before the Wu Dao Sect Mountain Gate.

Chu Yuan was deep in thought.

He didn't know how to answer these disciples.

The disciples, including Ye Luo, were exceptionally anxious.

They worried that their Respected Master might think they were finding fault with the way of the Dao he taught for being too weak.

It was because it was too weak that they came to seek their Master, asking if they could improve the Dao.

Or perhaps the Master would think that they believed he favored the newly initiated disciples, thereby teaching them such a weak Dao.

In any case, they had practically ran through all the possible scenarios in their minds.

The only thing they hadn't conjured up was a scene where the Respected Master, in a fit of anger, slapped them all to death.

However, what Ye Luo and the others didn't know was that,

what Chu Yuan was pondering over was whether he should once again deceive these disciples.

Should he refresh the deception for these disciples?

But these disciples were not as they used to be.

They were no longer the naive juniors who could be easily hoodwinked.

If he were to deceive them, would he be caught on the spot?

If he were caught, how embarrassing would that be? Wouldn't his reputation be completely ruined?

But upon further thought, this also seemed incorrect.

He possessed an Invincible State, and even if the disciples did not believe, his fist was larger than theirs.

Might made right.

So it seemed, he could still deceive them anew.

That being said,

how should he deceive them.

This was a key point.

Chu Yuan's eyebrows slightly raised.

After a long time,

he finally looked towards Ye Luo and the others, and opened his mouth slowly.

"Do you all wish to improve your Dao? Luo Er, Han'er, as well as Qian Yuan, Luo Xue, all of you?"

Chu Yuan asked.

"Yes, Respected Master,"

Ye Luo and the others all responded in turn.

"Then let's do it one by one, who will come first?"

Chu Yuan spoke calmly.

Upon hearing this,

joy appeared on the faces of Ye Luo and the others.

Even Dantai Luoxue, who was always indifferent, showed some delight.

Who wouldn't be happy at the prospect of becoming stronger?

They quickly looked at each other, and then it was decided that Ye Luo would go first.

By seniority, Ye Luo was the eldest brother.

By strength, he was also the foremost.

No one objected to Ye Luo going first.

After the decision was made,

Chu Yuan didn't start his deception right away.

Instead, he told the others, except Ye Luo, to first return to the mountain, to come one by one, in an orderly line.

Zhang Han and the other disciples naturally had no objections.

They also knew that Dao should not be transmitted carelessly.

It wasn't appropriate for them to stay while the Respected Master imparted the Dao to their eldest brother.

So they obediently made their way up the mountain.

...

Soon, only Chu Yuan and Ye Luo were left standing beside the mountain gate.

Chu Yuan faced Ye Luo with a smile, and without speaking, he stood with his hands behind his back in silence.

Ye Luo was straightforward; facing Chu Yuan, he knelt down directly.

A formidable figure of his generation, he did not dare to defy his Master in any way.

"Respected Master!"

Ye Luo bowed his head and uttered softly.

"No need for such formalities, Luo Er; you know I have never cared for these rituals,"

"Let me ask you, what is your understanding of your Dao?"

Chu Yuan turned around, his back to Ye Luo.

His voice, neither hurried nor slow, reached Ye Luo's ears.

Seeing this scene,

Ye Luo, still kneeling on the ground, had a slight trance in his gaze.

It was as if he saw the scene from his weaker days of youth once again.

Just like today,

the Master stood with his back to him,

explaining everything.

Ye Luo of today was no longer the weak young man of the past.

Today, he was a mighty figure.

The master of a Holy Land, a formidable person whose reputation resounded throughout the heavens.

But the Master remained the same Master he could only look up to.

The Master whose true depth he could never fathom, no matter how much effort he invested.

"Respected Master…"

"Disciple has always based his understanding of the Dao on what the Master used to say, without any deviation."

```

Ye Luo slowly stood up and said these words.

"You... As your master, I asked about your own understanding of the Tao, not about these things."

Chu Yuan rolled his eyes, completely at a loss for what to say.

He didn't know where to start deceiving.

So he decided to ask Ye Luo.

Who knew that Ye Luo would play the jack-of-all-trades.

Incredibly shrewd.

How could he continue to deceive if Ye Luo didn't speak?

"My own understanding of the Tao?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Luo began to ponder.

As if asking himself what his understanding of the Tao was.

After a moment passed,

he finally raised his head to look at Chu Yuan.

"Respected Master, I believe my Tao should be unbending and unyielding! The wielder of the sword should shatter all laws, break through all calamities, and slash through everything with the sword."

Ye Luo asserted with conviction.

"If you have such an understanding, why do you need to 'upgrade' the Tao?"

Chu Yuan, facing away, twitched the corners of his eyes slightly, his voice remaining as flat as ever.

He didn't know how to retort.

One sword to shatter all laws?

If he was so formidable already, why come to him speaking of 'upgrading' the Tao?

Today's disciples, really, so greedy!

"Respected Master, it's different. I feel... my sword isn't sharp enough. Although I know that I should use my sword to break all laws, I struggle against my junior brothers' and sisters' Tao. I can only overcome them by relying on my realm to suppress theirs."

Ye Luo shook his head and explained.

Upon hearing this,

Chu Yuan, with his back turned, didn't reply immediately.

Instead, he closed his eyes slightly, lost in thought.

He was contemplating how to deceive this disciple.

Ye Luo stood aside, not daring to disturb, silently bowing his head, waiting for his Respected Master to reply.

The scene became quiet all at once.

The atmosphere settled into silence.

Whoo-whoo...

The gentle breeze brushed past,

picking up numerous leaves from the ground.

Quite a while passed.

Chu Yuan still did not speak.

Chu Yuan was silent.

Ye Luo did not dare to speak either.

They remained in deadlock.

What Ye Luo didn't know was,

Chu Yuan simply didn't know what to say, and that was why he remained silent.

At this very moment, Chu Yuan was engulfed in internal confusion.

Unsure of how to continue the deception.

He kept rubbing his palms inside his sleeves.

He lifted his eyes slightly to gaze at the sky,

countless thoughts rising in his mind.

The sword...

One sword that shatters all laws, how could it be 'upgraded'?

To shatter all laws, shatter all laws, shatter...

What is the ultimate form of shattering?

A name emerged in Chu Yuan's mind.

Pangu...

Creation?

To shatter everything is to create?

Using creation to deceive this disciple seemed feasible?

With that realization, Chu Yuan's eyes brightened, and he finally spoke up.

"Luo Er, do you know where the world, the heaven and earth, came from?"

Chu Yuan's voice was deep and distant.

"The world, heaven and earth, where did they come from?"

Ye Luo murmured softly to himself.

He contemplated for a moment,

but still couldn't find an answer.

In the end, shaking his head, he admitted his ignorance to Chu Yuan.

Seeing this disciple so obediently walk into the trap,

Chu Yuan also let out a sigh of relief.

"A very, very long time ago, there were no concepts of the world or heaven and earth. Back then, everything was in a state of Hundun, with no distinction between day and night, no concept of time."

"Until the existence of a great god named Pangu appeared, and then there was the concept of heaven and earth, day and night, time, and everything else!"

Chu Yuan's storytelling skills were, simply put, maxed out.

As he spoke,

he even let out a sigh.

As if he were reminiscing about that era...
