No Way Anyone Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Chapter 31: Heart Of Formations

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Sect Leader of the Qian Emperor Dao Sect looked at the Elders’ weird gazes. He could only suppress the discomfort in his heart.

He walked back to his throne and sat down.

“Why are you all looking at me? Where were we?

“We were discussing about the news of the hidden sect being leaked, right? Actually, there’s nothing wrong with it. We’ve already made some initial contact with the Daoless Sect anyway, so we have the upper hand. After all, the Daoless Sect is still in seclusion now, so what can those people do even if they find out?

“Besides, I heard from the Grand Elder that he had already passed an invitation to the Daoless Sect for our internal competition three months from now and that the disciples of their sect would be coming to grace the occasion.

“Wouldn’t being close with the disciples of the Daoless Sect be equivalent to being close with the sect?”

Sect Leader Qian Yuan controlled his discomfort and pretended to be serious.

As he spoke, he felt extremely aggrieved.

Not long ago, he had still been a Soul Formation cultivator—a renowned expert in the east region.

But now, he was reduced to a mere mortal.

Furthermore, this was something that could not be repaired.

After returning to his palace, Sect Leader Qian Yuan had tried to recover his cultivation.

However, it was impossible.

His body was in a very strange state. Simply put, it was as if it experienced a bug.

Supposedly, after his Primordial Spirit was shattered, he would definitely die. Unless he was aided by an immortal who had descended to the mortal world, no method could save him.

However, his trump card was extremely special, successfully saving his life.

This made him feel extremely awkward.

He had no Primordial Spirit, yet he was still alive…

Many Elders did not notice that something was wrong with Sect Leader Qian Yuan.

After hearing what Sect Leader Qian Yuan had said, everyone was relieved. The Qian Emperor Dao Sect still held the advantage.

“That’s good, that’s good. It’s good that my Qian Emperor Dao Sect still has an advantage…”

“Thank goodness the Grand Elder sent an invitation.”

“The sect competition three months from now will be a good opportunity.”

“What opportunity?”

“An opportunity to show all of you my bootlicking skills!”

“…”

The Elders chatted.

Suddenly, one of the Elders cried out, “Sect Leader? Where’s the Sect Leader? Where did he run off to?”

The Elders looked around and realized that their Sect Leader had disappeared once again…

Back at the Daoless Sect, in the Hall of Impartation…

The moment Zhang Han entered, he began to read the books in a frenzy. He did not read any powerful cultivation techniques, nor did he read any secret techniques. He only browsed through the books regarding the hidden secrets of the history of the world.

He wanted to find information regarding Dao enlightenment.

He spent the entire night reading.

When the light of dawn shone into the Hall of Impartation, Zhang Han was then woken up.

Phew…

Zhang Han put down an ancient book and let out a long sigh. He had spent the night reading various ancient books.

Even though he hadn’t found any information regarding how to comprehend the Dao, he had still found some useful information.

In the records, there was a person whose experience was very similar to his. That was the Formation Master of this generation, Li Ling!

He was a renowned genius in the Dao of Array Formations from 1,000 years ago.

According to the records, when Li Ling was young, for some reason, his spirit root had been destroyed, and he had been unable to cultivate. However, in the end, he had awakened a certain physique and stepped onto the path of cultivation once again. Furthermore, he had soared into the sky and became a Formation Master!

What Li Ling had awakened was known as the Heart of Formations.

Those with a Heart of Formations had an extraordinary talent for array formations.

However, these people absolutely could not possess spirit roots at the same time. Otherwise, their talent would truly be too heaven-defying to the point where even the heavens would not tolerate it.

That was why the heavens had destroyed the spirit root of the person with the Heart of Formations, to make them less heaven-defying.

After Zhang Han read the text, he had a rough idea of his own situation.

“Master said that the reason he chose me as his disciple was that I possessed a talent that ordinary people could not possess. Initially, I had thought that Master was merely consoling me.

“Now that I think about it, Master is probably subtly reminding me about the Heart of Formations.

“If I’m not wrong, the Dao mark that Master left behind was meant to awaken my Heart of Formations. However, as I was unable to comprehend it, I felt lost.”

As Zhang Han analyzed, his mind suddenly shook. He had understood it all. The fog in his heart dissipated.

Master, I have understood!

Zhang Han clenched his fists tightly. Without any hesitation, he put down the book in his hand and ran down the mountain gate.

After running for a while, Zhang Han arrived at the mountain gate. He looked up at the marks on the stone. His hand came out of his sleeve and covered his chest.

Dong, dong, dong…

The beat of his heart could be felt on his palm.

Zhang Han stared at the marks on the stone.

He understood…

The mark was straight and showed no signs of bending. In fact, his Master’s intention was for him to awaken his Heart of Formations with an unbending heart.

The moment Zhang Han thought it through, strange blue runes appeared on his chest.

The blue runes were profound and mysterious. Each rune seemed to be formed from an ancient array. They were connected to one another as if they were contending against the heavens.

Dong, dong, dong…

The sound of his heart beating was magnified infinitely at this moment, like the morning bell and evening drum with a terrifying might.

Thankfully, he was in the Daoless Sect and was protected by the array formation. Otherwise, if this phenomenon was seen in the outside world, countless experts would probably be thinking that a heavenly treasure had appeared.

The manifestation of the runes lasted for four hours.

Zhang Han slowly opened his eyes as joy flashed across his face.

“It’s true. I really have the Heart of Formations! Master, I understand all of it now. I didn’t let you down. I’ve awakened the Heart of Formations!

“With the Heart of Formations, I only need to comprehend various array formations to raise my cultivation. What terrifying talent!”

Zhang Han was overjoyed. He turned around and wanted to look for his Master. He wanted to tell his Master that he did not disappoint him and had successfully comprehended what he was supposed to comprehend.

However, before he could walk far, he was stopped by Ye Luo, who suddenly appeared.

“Eldest Senior Brother, why are you stopping me? I want to tell Master the good news,” Zhang Han said with a smile.

“I’m merely reminding you that it’s best that you don’t go and congratulate Master right now,” Ye Luo said solemnly.

Zhang Han frowned in confusion. “May I ask why, Eldest Senior Brother?”

Ye Luo hugged his sword and took a few steps forward. He said earnestly, “Of course it’s for your own good. I understand that you want to make Master happy, but think about it carefully. Master didn’t even appear when you succeeded in comprehending the Dao. Why is that?

“That is because Master doesn’t want us to have any thoughts of being arrogant and thus won’t show himself. He wants us to put away our thoughts of being arrogant.

“Why are you going to look for Master now? Are you going to let him down? If you really want to repay him, you should focus on your cultivation and keep a low profile in front of him. When you grow up in the future, you can repay him. That’s the best thing you should do…”

After these words were said, Zhang Han was enlightened.

At the same time…

In the clouds above a city, Chu Yuan, who had a stick of candy fruit in his mouth and was riding on a cloud, was completely unaware of what was happening within his own sect.

He was still drifting around slowly on his beloved cloud…
