Chapter 50 Regret at the Start
At the mountain peaks, before the palace doors.
Gazing at the Qian Yuan Sect Master before him,
Ye Luo found it hard to believe.
The lofty Saint Lord of the East State,
the Sect Master of the Qiandi Dao Sect,
a mighty being of the Divinity Transformation Realm.
Now, his cultivation had been completely wasted, reduced to a mortal-like existence.
Moreover, he had been pretending to be a powerful cultivator in his mortal state for three months.
And not a single person in the Qiandi Dao Sect had discovered this.
This...
No one would believe this if it were told.
Ye Luo took a deep breath, staring at the Qian Yuan Sect Master.
"Sect Master, since you've been pretending all along, then why are you now choosing to tell me these things? Aren't you afraid that I will reveal this matter to the Great Elder and the others?"
"No, you're seeking the Wayless Sect's help, aren't you?"
Ye Luo broke the silence.
"Yes, Young Friend Ye, there's no way for me to get help across the entire East State. The only hope left is the Wayless Sect!"
Qian Yuan Sect Master spoke earnestly.
A Qian Emperor Sect Master without cultivation levels...
If someone else were to discover this, he would probably lose his head.
Hearing this,
Ye Luo remained silent for a while and then stepped outside the hall door, looking up at the stars filling the sky.
Whoosh whoosh...
The gentle breeze passed by, fluttering his robes.
After a moment,
Ye Luo spoke again.
"I can't help you,"
"But my Respected Master might be able to help you. I've followed my Respected Master in cultivation for less than half a year; I know very little about our Wayless Sect, so I don't know how to deal with your situation."
"But my Respected Master is the Sect Master of the Daoless Sect, with unfathomable cultivation levels. Perhaps only my Respected Master can help you."
His voice arose.
The Qian Yuan Sect Master was both excited and shocked.
Excited because there might indeed be a way to solve his problem,
shocked because the Wayless Sect was so formidable. He had seen for himself how strong Ye Luo was; ordinary beings of the Divinity Transformation Realm probably weren't his match.
Yet such a powerful being had been in the sect for less than half a year!
The Qian Yuan Sect Master had thought he held the Wayless Sect in high regard already,
but now realized he had still underestimated it.
"Young Friend Ye, do you have a way to contact your Respected Master? I would like to meet with your Respected Master. As long as I can meet him, I will agree to any condition!"
The Qian Yuan Sect Master said, trying to suppress his excitement.
"Sorry, but my Respected Master is like a Divine Dragon whose tail cannot be seen. Under normal circumstances, he's simply unfindable unless you come back to the Wayless Sect with me, where you might be able to see him."
Ye Luo shook his head.
"Can I perhaps accompany you to the Wayless Sect?! Just promise me that, Young Friend Ye, and I am willing to do whatever you want!!"
The Qian Yuan Sect Master said, gritting his teeth.
As the Saint Lord of the East State, he had access to information beyond anyone else in the East State.
Even he had no solution to his problem.
So the only hope was now in the Wayless Sect.
If he could recover, he would have a chance to rise again.
Therefore, no matter the cost, he was willing.
Ye Luo, upon hearing this, did not immediately agree but hesitated.
"It's possible, but I don't plan to return to the sect yet; I'm still planning to travel and then go back to the sect."
"Moreover, I plan to leave the Qiandi Dao Sect tomorrow,"
Ye Luo said.
To tell the truth, he still wanted to travel around the East State and proclaim the strength of his Wayless Sect,
to engrave in the hearts of all in the East State the power of the Wayless Sect, to remember the greatness of his Respected Master.
Upon hearing this,
the Qian Yuan Sect Master, without any hesitation, immediately said, "Then I ask you to take me with you, Young Friend Ye. I'll accompany you on your travels. As a Holy Land Master, I'm widely knowledgeable as well; I might be able to help you somehow. All that matters to me is to accompany you back to the Wayless Sect once!"
Well...
I've seen quite a lot.
But you're a mortal now, are you sure you won't hold me back?
Ye Luo looked at the Sect Master of the Daoless Sect with a slight look of disdain.
The Sect Master of the Daoless Sect saw that look and immediately felt wronged.
He was, after all, the esteemed Saint Lord of East State.
When had he ever been disdained?
But now...
Now he was being disdained...
"Young Friend Ye! I won't hold you back! I'll bring my own mount, and my mount has the strength of the Golden Core Realm!"
The Sect Master of the Daoless Sect said through gritted teeth.
"According to what you said, your Primordial Spirit is gone, and so is the brand upon your mount. How do you communicate with your mount? Through feelings?"
Ye Luo suddenly thought of this and was quite curious.
"Um... Through feelings, and also because my mount doesn't know I've lost my cultivation levels."
"If your mount found out you've lost your cultivation levels, wouldn't it disdain you too?"
Sect Master of the Daoless Sect: "..."
Thank you, I feel offended.
"Alright, enough chit-chat. Since you want to accompany me on my travels, let's take advantage of the night to leave. You might find it difficult to leave during the day. Write a letter now, and let's go."
Ye Luo shook his head with a smile, saying so.
Having said that.
He turned around and walked towards the hall.
He planned to leave a letter for those sycophants and then depart.
The Sect Master of the Daoless Sect wanted to say something, but after some thought, leaving under the cover of night seemed like the best option.
So, he could only turn around and head back to his own palace.
After organizing things a bit, the two left behind letters before taking advantage of the night and departing.
The disciples guarding the gate saw Ye Luo leaving and didn't dare to stop him, allowing him to leave as he pleased.
...
The next day.
The Great Elder, full of excitement, rushed over to Ye Luo's palace early in the morning, wanting to 'have a chat' with Ye Luo.
But upon arriving at the palace, he couldn't find Ye Luo anywhere.
After a search, he finally found a letter left by Ye Luo.
Opening it, the Great Elder found out that Ye Luo had already left to travel around East State.
"Young Friend Ye!! How could you be so heartless and leave me behind!!"
Early in the morning, the Great Elder wailed like a ghost lamenting and a wolf howling.
He hadn't even had the chance to properly lick boots.
And now it was gone.
Who knows when he would see Ye Luo again next time.
What a pity!!
While the Great Elder was sighing repeatedly,
a disciple flew in on a sword, bringing news.
The Sect Master of the Daoless Sect had left as well.
And he had left behind a letter too.
It stated that since his cultivation was not sufficient, he followed Ye Luo to travel around East State, and thereafter, to cultivate at the Wayless Sect.
At the same time, he announced his resignation as Sect Master, leaving the Qiandi Dao Sect to be managed by others.
Ye Luo had run away with the Sect Master of the Daoless Sect!!!
The Great Elder wailed once more.
"Damn Sect Master!! To think you got there first!!"
"On the surface, you act all aloof and uninterested, not like a bootlicker at all, yet you've been seducing Young Friend Ye behind the scenes, utterly unfilial!!"
"I thought I was the strongest bootlicker within the Qiandi Dao Sect, but no, never would have I thought... It was actually the Sect Master who was the true bootlicker hiding in the shadows..."

The Great Elder wailed...
