Creation of the Universe

Chu Rumeng suddenly asked to become his disciple, which surprised Chu Qiu.

He had never thought of taking in a disciple in his life, mainly because with his cultivation, he really had nothing to teach others.

"Um...I'm afraid this won't work."

Chu Qiu told the truth.

Chu Rumeng suddenly felt disappointed, but still asked unwillingly: "My lord, I really don't have enough talent. In comparison, my sister has some martial arts foundation, but I am too weak.

But after going through all this, I really want to become stronger, because only in this way can I help my father and sister and not become a burden that holds them back."

Chu Qiu said awkwardly, "That's not what I meant. In fact, a person's talent mainly depends on the level of the Dao they have acquired. Although the Dao cannot fully represent a person's future achievements, it can generally show whether they are suitable for the path of cultivation.

The reason I refused to accept you as my disciple is not because I think you are too weak, but because I simply do not know how to be someone else's master and teach others. I cannot mislead my students."

"How could that be? You are so powerful, sir. Isn't it more than enough for you to teach someone like me who has no foundation?"

Shen Zhan laughed aside and said, "Of course it's not what you think. Chu Qiu entered the Dao through books. It can be said that he opened up a unique path of cultivation. Others have to cultivate their bodies, cultivate their Qi, and practice martial arts, but he can hardly even do a single move.

But he comprehended such an exquisite high-grade earth-level skill as the One-Word Painting Earth Art. At that time, everyone praised him as a rare genius, and this praise was not an exaggeration at all.

So think about it, he reads all day, and as he does so, he reaches a realm that many people would never reach in their entire lives. This unique approach is something no one else can emulate, and he truly doesn't have the ability to teach you."

Chu Rumeng suddenly realized that it would be harder than climbing to the sky for her to learn from Chu Qiu and use books to gain enlightenment. It seemed that her wish to become a disciple today would not be fulfilled.

However, at this time, Chu Qiu told her, "Actually, I'm not a good teacher. If you really want to become my disciple, I can recommend someone to you. He is definitely the best teacher in the world."

Chu Rumeng's hope suddenly rekindled, and she waited with shining eyes for Chu Qiu to say the man's name.

"This mentor is right in front of you right now."

Chu Rumeng's gaze followed Chu Qiu's instructions and fell on Shen Zhan without surprise.

"You want me to take her as my apprentice?"

Shen Zhan asked Chu Qiu in surprise.

"If I were to guide others into cultivation, is there anyone more suitable than you, a master of the Martial God Realm?"

"The Martial God Realm was in the past after all."

"But you will reach the Martial God Realm sooner or later."

Chu Qiu said with certainty.

Chu Rumeng also seized the opportunity and sincerely pleaded with Shen Zhan to allow her to practice with him.

"If that's the case, please accept me!"

Perhaps inspired by her younger sister, Chu Ruxuan also immediately joined the ranks of becoming a disciple. Both sisters now very eager to become Shen Zhan's disciples.

Chu Tiankuo was naturally happy to see good things come in pairs. In fact, no matter which daughter could become a disciple of a master, it would be of great benefit to the current Chu family. Moreover, this was strongly recommended by his ancestor Chu Qiu.

Shen Zhan was speechless for a moment. He was still on the road of rebuilding the Great Dao in this life. Moreover, there were still many things waiting for him to do. The road ahead was dangerous and unpredictable, so now was not a good time to accept a disciple.

But Chu Qiu said, "Brother, you've accepted disciples before, haven't you? Lao Meng, Tiange, and I all know that you are capable of training outstanding disciples. Since these two girls are so sincere, why not give them a try?"

"Well, if that's the case, I'll accept you temporarily. But let me be frank: if you prove unsuitable in the future, or if you voluntarily want to give up, then our master-disciple relationship will be terminated immediately."

The two sisters Ruxuan and Rumeng were extremely happy. They immediately bowed deeply to Shen Zhan and formally became his disciples.

Afterwards, the four of them said goodbye to Chu Tiankuo and continued on their journey to Yunjian Temple in the east of the city. It was a thousand-year-old temple, but the monks in the temple lived a secluded life, and the temple was not very popular, so it could almost be described as extremely quiet.

Chu Qiu said that when he was studying the books of sages, he often hid in an old locust tree in the ancient temple, where almost no one passed by and he could stay undisturbed.

"Speaking of which, my ability to enter the Dao through books is probably due to the contribution of this ancient temple."

Chu Qiu smiled with a nostalgic look as he stepped into the mountain gate.

When they met a young monk in the temple, Chu Qiu stepped forward and explained his purpose. The young monk nodded as if he understood, then quickly ran to inform Master Yicheng.

This wizard turned out to be an old friend of Chu Qiu. The two had been friends for three hundred years, and he never expected that they could meet again in this way today.

"It's really the kid from the Chu family. I haven't seen you for hundreds of years. I thought you would never come back. What a fate! Wonderful, wonderful!"

The old monk, whose two gray eyebrows drooped down to the tip of his chin, spoke without any airs, and seemed to miss the days when he studied and meditated with Chu Qiu.

"At that time, I was sitting under the tree meditating, and you were sitting there reading a book. In fact, we had never spoken to each other, but it was like we had known each other for many years."

Chu Qiu also said with emotion, "I was young and ignorant at that time. I should have asked the master for more guidance."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the two of them got into the topic of the trip.

"Oh? The Godswood..."

"If this is the case, please follow me immediately."

Under the guidance of Master Yicheng, Shen Zhan and his three companions came to a pavilion in front of the ancient temple gate. In the middle of the pavilion hung a large bronze bell named "Wen Tian Bell".

Chu Qiu said, "I'm right, this soul-suppressing spiritual device cannot be moved."

"If the Wentian Bell can calm the resentment of the souls who died on the Qichuan Ancient Road, that would be wonderful. However, I must remind you that this bell hasn't been rung in over eighty years."

Chu Rumeng asked innocently, "Ah, is it broken?"

Master Yicheng slowly shook his head. "Young lady, you don't know that not just anyone can ring this Wentian Bell. It requires the right person and the right opportunity. It has hung here for so long, alone, without ringing again, simply because it hasn't waited for the right person to appear."

"You might as well give it a try."

After Master Yicheng finished speaking, he smiled faintly, as if he was giving everyone a difficult question.
