Chapter 375: 394 Someone named Chu does not believe in metaphysics.
Dongzhou coastal area.
In the village, within the temple hall.
Chu Yuan walked into the room, his gaze fixated on the divination tube.
He seemed to want to see what was so special about it.
Regrettably, no matter how hard he looked, he couldn’t discern anything special about the tube.
But Chu Yuan’s intuition told him,
This divination tube was extraordinary.
Unable to help himself, Chu Yuan picked up the tube, wanting to take a closer look.
He picked up the tube.
There was no reaction from the tube.
Chu Yuan held the tube in his hands, studying it closely.
This divination tube looked very ordinary, only perhaps a bit more decorative, engraved with two characters Chu Yuan couldn’t understand and some patterns beside them.
Looking at the fortune sticks…
Chu Yuan saw at a glance there were forty-nine sticks.
He picked one of them up to take a look.
At this look, Chu Yuan was somewhat startled.
The stick was blank.
Chu Yuan couldn’t help but pick up the other sticks.
He found that the other sticks were also blank.
“What kind of ghost divination tube is this? All the fortune sticks are blank?”
Chu Yuan complained.
He had just finished grumbling,
When a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
The divination tube required one to pray to the heavens.
Only by praying to the heavens would the sticks reveal their content.
“Pray to the heavens? What kind of method is that?”
Chu Yuan chuckled. He took the divination tube and walked outside, facing the firmament.
He thought for a moment, then picked up the tube and started shaking it.
After just two shakes, he realized something was off.
He hadn’t specified what he wanted to ask about; why was he shaking it?
“Don’t know what to pray for or ask about. Well then, let’s ask if the three disciples I took on this year will be successful or not,”
Chu Yuan muttered to himself.
Then he picked up the divination tube and faced the firmament, shaking it.
Speaking of which, there was something strange.
Just now, Chu Yuan had shaken it twice and no fortune sticks had fallen out.
But this time, after saying what he wanted to ask, a shake caused three fortune sticks to fall out.
Seeing this scene,
Chu Yuan stopped shaking it, placed the tube aside, and picked up the three sticks to take a look.
He looked them over one by one.
The sticks were no longer blank; letters had emerged on each one.
The first had four characters ‘Nothing surpasses something.’
The second stick had one sentence ‘Born an invincible emperor, no need for heaven’s eyes.’
The third also had a sentence ‘The dragon stirs from slumber, one roar shakes a thousand mountains.’
Seeing the letters on these three sticks,
A fierce twitch crossed Chu Yuan’s face.
How could he not see?
The underlying message of these fortune sticks was praising his disciples.
His three disciples had all been deemed no-hopers by the system, how could they be impressive?
Wasn’t this blatantly telling him that his disciples would succeed?
“Pah, what nonsense fortune sticks, do they not know that I don’t believe in mysticism? Do you think you can shake my conviction with your fortune sticks?”
Chu Yuan tossed the three sticks back into the tube, feeling utterly disdainful.
Someone named Chu did not believe in mysticism.
Did they truly think that presenting him with three fortune sticks would make him doubt his ability to turn his worthless disciples into successful ones?
What a joke.
Tu Xuexi, Tu Yelin, plus Si Yue, had all been evaluated by the system as sure failures.
Between the sticks and the system, was there even a choice?
Obviously, he believed in the system.
These three disciples were doomed to fail.
“Mysticism, laughable.”
Chu Yuan shook his head and put the divination tube into his storage bag.
Even though he didn’t believe in mysticism, the tube seemed to be a treasure nonetheless.
With a thrifty mindset,
Chu Yuan, of course, took the divination tube with him.
He carefully tucked away the Divination Tube.
Chu Yuan glanced one more time inside the ancestral hall, then turned to walk outside.
Chu Yuan walked out of the ancestral hall.
As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Mo Yin the Elder and the young boy who were waiting outside the hall.
“How did it go, Daoist friend? Did you get that treasure?”
As soon as he saw Chu Yuan walking out, Mo Yin the Elder hurried over and asked eagerly.
“Treasure? You mean the Divination Tube? I found it and took it.”
Chu Yuan nodded and said.
“Really found it? And you, Daoist friend, took the treasure?”
Mo Yin the Elder’s eyes widened; he couldn’t maintain his gentle and refined demeanor any longer.
“Took it.”
Chu Yuan admitted it.
He didn’t feel there was anything that needed to be hidden.
“Took it…”
Mo Yin the Elder was lost in thought for a moment.
He had stayed in this village for so long just to witness the treasure’s true form.
Yet, for many years, he had never seen the true form of that treasure.
And now someone else had just taken it away.
Really…
Mo Yin the Elder didn’t know how to describe what he was feeling at that moment.
It took a long while before Mo Yin the Elder managed to pull himself together a bit.
Let it be.
“What’s meant to be will come in time, and what’s not should not be forced.”
He had been next to that treasure for many years and hadn’t obtained it, yet someone else got it in an instant.
Maybe that’s destiny.
Once Mo Yin the Elder understood this, he managed to let go of his attachment.
However, his gaze toward Chu Yuan had turned somewhat peculiar.@@novelbin@@
At that moment, he was very curious about Chu Yuan’s realm.
Just how strong must that realm be?
To be able to disregard that repulsion and acquire a treasure that he himself couldn’t obtain for years.
Mo Yin the Elder was curious, but he did not inquire.
He knew what things he could ask about, and what things he should not.
In his opinion, perhaps he shouldn’t pry into the other’s cultivation levels, but he should be able to ask about his identity.
He was equally curious about Chu Yuan’s identity.
Though he hadn’t come into the world recently, he still kept an eye on the Divinity Continent.
As for such an existence with an unfathomable realm…
Mo Yin the Elder didn’t have the slightest clue and couldn’t understand Chu Yuan’s exact identity.
“Daoist friend, may I ask where you are a cultivator from?”
Mo Yin the Elder asked.
“I am the Sect Master of the Daoless Sect,”
Chu Yuan replied without any intention of concealing, candidly revealing his identity.
“Daoless Sect???”
Mo Yin the Elder was taken aback, feeling that the name sounded familiar.
But he couldn’t quite remember where he had heard it before.
“Daoist friend, your sect, the Daoless Sect, seems to be quite well-known; I feel like I’ve heard it somewhere.”
Mo Yin the Elder said with a furrowed brow.
“You’ve heard of it?”
Chu Yuan raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised.
Surprised at how far the reputation of his Daoless Sect had spread,
Even a cultivator living by the coastal area knew of it.
“It seems so,”
Mo Yin the Elder nodded.
“Daoless Sect, one of the Hidden Sects of East State, does that ring a bell now?”
Chu Yuan pulled at the tiger’s skin of the East State Hidden Sect, getting increasingly proficient at it.
Especially after gaining the Invincible State.
‘Arrogant’ Chu Yuan had always harbored the thought of extinguishing the real East State Hidden Sect and taking its place.
It’s just that he hadn’t had the time yet.
Otherwise, he might have actually taken action by now.
Meanwhile, Mo Yin the Elder, upon hearing Chu Yuan’s words,
Continued to talk to himself in a low voice.
“Oh, the East State Hidden Sect, yes, that sounds somewhat familiar…”
“Ah? The East State Hidden Sect?!”
