Chapter 697 - 723 Learn to Keep Silent All Your

Chapter 697: Chapter 723: Learn to Keep Silent All Your Life Chapter 697: Chapter 723: Learn to Keep Silent All Your Life Within the Mountain Cave Mansion.

Chu Yuan sat cross-legged on the cushion, stabilizing his inner heart.

His heart had gone through countless raging waves.

Yet, his demeanor remained as tranquil as a gentle breeze and soft clouds.

“No matter, Jun’er, even the untalented can cultivate. Look at the two who brought you here; they are your Eldest and Second Disciples, who were once as unremarkable as you are now. Are they not now shaking one corner of the world?”

“You must understand, it’s not about whether you can cultivate, but what you wish to cultivate!”

Chu Yuan said calmly.

...

Kneeling below, Chen Jun was taken aback by these words, then thought of Ye Luo and Zhang Han.

He never imagined that his powerful senior disciples had once been untalented.

If even they had been taught to excel by the Respected Master, then surely he could too?

Chen Jun’s eyes brightened, and he kowtowed to Chu Yuan once more.

“I beseech the Respected Master to impart the methods of cultivation to his disciple!”

Chen Jun said with utmost respect.

“Before imparting the method, one must inquire about the path. What path do you wish to cultivate? Your Eldest Disciple excels in Sword Dao, with a single sword tranquilizing the heavens; your Second Disciple excels in formations, with a thought raising myriad arrays. What kind of path do you wish to follow?”

Chu Yuan asked quite casually.

Hearing this.

Chen Jun furrowed his brows.

He didn’t know what path he wanted to cultivate either.

Ever since his talents were wasted, he was no longer connected with cultivation.

As a child, he never contemplated which path to follow.

Thus, being asked now, he was somewhat confused.

“What, you don’t know which path you wish to follow either?”

Chu Yuan looked at his disciple’s expression and was taken aback for a moment.

“Respected Master, this disciple does not know,”

Chen Jun said, lowering his head awkwardly.

“This…”

Suddenly, Chu Yuan felt that Ye Luo was more reliable.

He had asked his Eldest Disciple to find an honest Disciple, and truly, he brought back someone honest indeed.

Not even knowing what path to cultivate.

Just say you don’t know if you don’t know, but at least make up something impressive.

Must you be so honest?

Just outright saying you don’t know.

Looking at this honest Disciple.

Chu Yuan stroked his chin, sizing him up.

Such an honest disciple should be simple to teach.

Chu Yuan felt it would be extremely simple.

If it’s simple.

Then he really didn’t want to expend too much effort on this disciple.

A few casual remarks, directly sealing the disciple’s path to success would suffice, right?

At that thought.

Chu Yuan had roughly figured out what to do.

“Since you do not know, let me explain to you. If you are willing to cultivate this path, then I shall impart to you its method. What do you think?”

Chu Yuan slowly began to speak.

“Certainly, Respected Master.”

Chen Jun didn’t dare to say anything more, eagerly nodding in agreement.

Seeing this.

Chu Yuan slowly rose from the ground, hands clasped behind his back, took two steps forward, his gaze fixed on Chen Jun below.

“Seeing that your brows carry upright energy, like that of a scholar, why not walk the path of Confucianism?”

Chu Yuan inquired.

“Respected Master, what is the path of Confucianism?”

Chen Jun asked, quite puzzled.

“Confucianism cultivates rectitude. A speck of Vast Rectitude Energy can exist eternally between heaven and earth. As long as there is rectitude in heaven and earth, Confucianism never ceases. The cultivation of Confucianism emphasizes self-improvement, state governance, Harmonizing the Family, and pacifying the world!”

“So, Jun’er, do you understand?”

Chu Yuan spoke with unparalleled calm.

His voice was very serene.

He was but a mortal, his voice not loud.

Yet, behind him, the Heaven’s Dao Halo along with the Divine Light protection made him seem exceptionally majestic.

This also led to his words carrying a natural persuasive power.

Making it very easy for one to believe what he said.

“Disciple, disciple understands, yet it seems like I don’t.”

Chen Jun knelt on the ground, his eyes full of confusion.

He felt that everything his Respected Master said made sense and seemed very profound.

But he could not understand the actual meaning.

The feeling of being impressed without understanding.

“If you understood, you understood; if not, then you didn’t—what’s this about feeling like you understand yet also not understanding?”

Chu Yuan had a vein pop on his forehead as he chastised in a soft voice.

What’s this about feeling like you understand yet also not understanding?

Is he playing Tai Chi here?

It was he who would hoodwink his disciples, not the other way around.

And yet here they were, playing Tai Chi.

“Reporting to Respected Master, the disciple does not understand.”

Chen Jun quickly shook his head, daring not to say anything more.

“Enough, enough. With your dull wits, it’s normal for you not to understand. In any case, the path of Confucianism has four Realms, divided into self-cultivation, governing a country, Harmonize the Family, and pacifying the world! Do you perhaps understand now?”

“Does Respected Master mean that I should cultivate this Realm of self-cultivation?”

“Correct.”

“Then Respected Master, where is the method of cultivation?”

“The Dao is not a method—how can there be a method of cultivation? The Dao is not easily transmitted; one must rely on self-enlightenment!”

“Then Respected Master, if there’s no method of cultivation, is there a path of cultivation? Must I rely on my own enlightenment?”

Under Chu Yuan’s gaze, which looked at him as if he were an idiot, Chen Jun’s voice became quieter and quieter.

“If not relying on your own enlightenment, do you expect your master to enlighten for you? Here is a saying for you, ‘Keep your mouth shut, always keep it shut, until you have an enlightenment. Do not speak to anyone, so that eventually you will come to realization.’ Understood?”

Chu Yuan was getting somewhat impatient.

He simply told this disciple to shut up.

“But, but…”

Chen Jun still wanted to say something weakly.

“No buts, listen to your master. It takes three years to learn to talk, a lifetime to learn to keep silent. I will not lead you astray…”

Chu Yuan began to ramble again…

…

Outside the Mountain Cave Mansion.

Ye Luo and Zhang Han had come here to wait, to visit the Respected Master once Chen Jun came out.

While they were waiting, they also discussed some details about their ‘defiance of heaven.’

“Now that you have joined various Immortal Sects, you should strive a bit, scheme a bit, and aim to kick your sect’s leader out of their position and take their place!”

Ye Luo was instructing Zhang Han about something.

His words didn’t feel out of place to him.

But when Zhang Han heard them, he was nearly scared to death.

What does it mean to kick their respective sect leaders out and take their place?

All the Immortal Sects they had joined were from a first-class Immortal Sect in their respective states, right?

Their sect leaders were at least at the peak of the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Apart from Ye Luo, which among their fellow disciples could fight against them?

Ask Ye Luo to help? That was not an option either.

A first-class Immortal Sect in a region would have at least several dozen Immortal Emperor Cultivators stationed there, with several at the Immortal Emperor Peak, and that was just the obvious strength.

Moreover, generally, each Immortal Sect would possess a powerful Sect’s Guardian Treasure.

Even if it were Ye Luo, challenging a first-class Immortal Sect alone wouldn’t lead to any good outcome.

“Eldest Disciple, are we really using our heads to clash with the great Immortal Sects? You… you really don’t know the pain of sitting and talking,” said Zhang Han with an expression full of speechlessness.

“Who told you to clash head-on? Scheme, you must scheme—do you understand?” Ye Luo rolled his eyes.

He was aware that he couldn’t clash with a sect head-on.

He was quite clear about his own abilities.

What he meant was that his fellow disciples should use cunning and schemes to seize power, not fight head-on…
