Chapter 526: Way of Celestial Phenomena?
Misty Mountain, at the gate of the Sect.
Gazing upon Chu Yuan, his body radiating golden light, as if he were the supreme being of heaven and earth.
Di Wusheng was momentarily spellbound.
It was his first time witnessing such an aura.
Different from the Sword Immortal, Ye Luo.
In his eyes, Chu Yuan seemed like the Firmament itself.
Lofty and supreme, his terrifying majesty instilled fear in the hearts of mortals.
"When I address you, are you deaf to my words?"
Chu Yuan frowned in impatience as Di Wusheng took too long to respond, prompting another question.
The query snapped Di Wusheng back to reality, and he knelt down in a panic.
"Respected Master, your disciple was just lost in thought, please forgive me!"
Di Wusheng stated in a voice filled with dread.
In his alarm, he even forgot his tendency to stutter.
"Disciples of the Wayless Sect need not observe any grand ceremonies or etiquettes before anyone; just follow your heart. Right now, what I'm asking is, what Great Dao do you cultivate?"
Chu Yuan's eyebrows twitched slightly.
He felt rather helpless.
It seemed to him that his disciples all liked to kneel and bow.
Which left him thoroughly speechless.
He recalled admonishing them more than once.
Yet, none of his disciples changed their ways.
And now, the trend continued with his grand disciple following suit.
He couldn't fathom what his disciples were thinking.
"Replying to Respected Master, the Dao I cultivate is the Sword Dao, which I learned from following my master," Di Wusheng hastily answered.
Hearing this.
Chu Yuan, standing next to a massive rock by the gate, nodded slightly.
Ye Luo's Sword Dao was acceptable.
After all, he was at the Tribulation Transcending Stage.
The Sword Dao of someone at the Tribulation Transcending Stage, could it be weak?
To impart the Sword Dao to this grand disciple was also perfectly reasonable.
"Then to what extent have you cultivated it?" Chu Yuan inquired.
"Reporting to Respected Master, I have only grasped some superficial aspects of my master's Sword Dao..."
Di Wusheng seemed to recall something, and awkwardly spoke.
"I'm asking you what stage you've reached in your cultivation, not about learning some superficial techniques," Chu Yuan said with a hint of a headache.
"This..."
"What 'this'? What's there to be embarrassed about?"
"Respected Master, may I not speak of it?"
"You cannot! How can I guide you if you don't speak up?"
"But Respected Master, it's really difficult for me to say."
"What's so hard to say?"
"Alright then, Respected Master. I have only cultivated the Way of Celestial Phenomena in the Sword Dao taught by my master."
After voicing this, Di Wusheng lowered his head, shrinking as if in fear of Chu Yuan's scolding.
"Celestial Phenomena? What do you mean by that?" Chu Yuan asked, puzzled.
What did the Sword Dao have to do with Celestial Phenomena?
Shouldn't be related, right?
No matter how he thought about it, Chu Yuan couldn't connect the two.
"It involves predicting celestial phenomena..." Di Wusheng said weakly.
"Predicting celestial phenomena? Like what, for example?" Chu Yuan asked with curiosity.
"For example, in ten minutes, the sky will be clear with no clouds, a northwest wind, low wind speed, and in fifteen minutes, clear skies will turn to partly cloudy... There will be no rain today!"
Di Wusheng recounted all the celestial phenomena he had observed.
Chu Yuan: "?"
You call this the Sword Dao?
Is this what the Sword Dao is?
Isn't this more like a weather forecast?
Chu Yuan was slightly disheveled by the winds of perplexity.
A disciple with such incredible talent,
learning the Sword Dao only to produce a weather forecast?
```
How was this achieved?
"You this... is this really the Sword Dao?"
Chu Yuan fell silent for a moment before asking.
"Respected Master, this is what I've comprehended from the Sword Dao taught by Master..."
Di Wusheng revealed a smile even more unsightly than crying.
He knew he had made a fool of himself.
But there was nothing he could do.
What he had comprehended was just this...
From the Sword Dao, he had comprehended such a thing...
"You... are very good, very impressive, very powerful."
Chu Yuan suddenly felt like laughing.
This disciple was indeed quite something.
He wouldn't even dare to bluff like this.
Bluffing a disciple, saying they had comprehended weather forecasting from the Sword Dao.
He wouldn't even dare to bluff like this.
And yet this disciple had actually managed to do it.
It was indeed quite powerful.
"Respected Master, what should I do next?"
Di Wusheng felt like crying without tears.
"You... give me a moment to think, just wait a bit."
Chu Yuan genuinely didn't know what to do.
He needed to casually bluff this disciple first.
After bluffing, then he could proceed to the next step.
But he really didn't know how to bluff.
A 'genius' who had comprehended weather forecasting from the Sword Dao—was he worthy of being bluffed?
Chu Yuan pondered over how to bluff.
But no matter how much he thought, he couldn't quite understand.
Exactly how to bluff.
Chu Yuan thought for quite some time.
Still, he could come up with nothing.
Eventually, he stopped thinking.
He might as well bluff about the Way of Celestial Phenomena to this disciple.
Forcefully hype up the Way of Celestial Phenomena.
Chu Yuan took a deep breath and slowly began to speak.
"Since you have comprehended the art of observing celestial phenomena from the Sword Dao, it indicates that you also possess a unique talent in the Way of Celestial Phenomena. Therefore, I suggest you continue down this path of celestial phenomena."
Chu Yuan said just so.
"Respected Master, what killing power does celestial phenomena have? Please don't joke with a junior like me."
Di Wusheng started to panic.
If his Respected Master really had him cultivate celestial phenomena, then he couldn't switch to cultivating something else.
If Ye Luo found out that he defied his Respected Master's will and switched to another path...
He feared he would lose his head.
"Wusheng! Remember, in this world, in this heaven and earth, there is no Dao that is weak, only cultivators who are weak. The Way of Celestial Phenomena is far from weak."
Chu Yuan spoke in his usual bluffing tone.
This tone made it very easy for people to take him at his word.
"But Respected Master, how can the Way of Celestial Phenomena kill the enemy?"
Di Wusheng said with a pained expression.
"How can the Way of Celestial Phenomena not kill the enemy? You are only standing at the threshold of this path right now. Once you truly step onto it, you will see how powerful this path is."
"The heavens harbor unpredictable storms and clouds. Right now, you can only observe these storms, but if you could control the changes in celestial phenomena, that would be different."
Chu Yuan spoke with conviction.
"Respected Master, controlling celestial phenomena still won't kill an enemy," Di Wusheng said, scratching his head.
You can't possibly drown someone with a downpour, right?
Maybe that would work on mortals.
But against cultivators, is this a joke?
A powerful cultivator could swallow a storm in one gulp—what use would rainwater be?
"Wusheng, you must understand, what celestial phenomena mean. Heavenly punishment, Heavenly Tribulation, and so on, all fall within the scope of the Way of Celestial Phenomena. Moreover, water doesn't necessarily mean it can't kill an enemy. Rainwater might not kill, but what if it were the waters of the Milky Way above the ninth heaven?"
Chu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, pointing towards the firmament, and spoke with an air of grandeur.
"Heavenly punishment, Heavenly Tribulation? The waters of the Milky Way above the ninth heaven?"
Di Wusheng's eyes lit up.
Suddenly, the bottleneck that had always constrained him seemed as if it had been unlocked.
Does celestial phenomena actually include all these?
If it's as Respected Master says, then his Way of Celestial Phenomena is actually very powerful and not useless?
