2 Master's Obsession and Entering the Cultivation World

A few hundred meters was nothing to Chen Mu. However, when he arrived at the location designated by the system, the corner of his eyes twitched.

It was Widow Wang's house in the village. The lights were still on.

Recalling Widow Wang's burning gaze every time she saw him, Chen Mu hesitated.

Widow Wang had a bad reputation. It was said that she had several lovers.

Could it be… could it be…

Was it some kind of intimate battle?

Gasp…

To play safe, Chen Mu crept to the window and looked inside.

The result was as expected.

...

Hearing the Little Assistant's reminder in his mind, Chen Mu was slightly stunned.

His Little Assistant would occasionally extract some special attributes. This special physical strength was obviously one of them.

But a moment later, he came to his senses, and his expression turned somewhat ugly.

"Useless assistant, what do you mean by this? I'm already a master at such 'battles', I don't need to absorb it at all!"

[Special Physical Strength +1]

[Special Physical Strength +1]

...

"A warrior would rather be killed than humiliated! Farewell!"

Chen Mu turned to leave, but he still felt uncomfortable.

What was this useless assistant implying?

Did it really think that he was impotent?

'Alright! I'll let you know my prowess!' Chen Mu snorted.

Then, he threw himself to the ground and started doing push-ups.

The posture was standard and the frequency was very fast.

He was betting on his dignity!

Although it was not as accurate, this action could show his ability in a certain aspect!

With the support of some sort of special mental strength, Chen Mu gritted his teeth and sped up.

Not long after, the creaking sound was almost gone!

He broke through on the spot!

No!

This was extremely normal!

Gradually, the special physical strength stored in the system began to dissipate before disappearing completely.

The loophole in the useless assistant was forcefully repaired by him.

...

When the room returned to normal and only the sound of snoring could be heard, Chen Mu slowly stood up.

His face was pale, but there was a victorious smile on his face.

"Hmph!" Glancing at the room, Chen Mu snorted and left.

...

When he returned to his room, Chen Mu's mind was filled with the battle scenes. He tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

He was a little restless.

In order to suppress the restlessness in his heart, he subconsciously thought of some sad things.

For example, his deceased master.

His master's name was Liu Hui. He knew martial arts and fortune-telling.

If there were no cultivators in this world, Master would definitely be a secluded expert.

After coming to Stone Village, the Little Assistant successfully extracted two special attributes. The previous one was from his master.

That special attribute directly affected his opportunity to enter the cultivation world 20 days later.

...

Half a year ago, Chen Mu followed behind Liu Hui to practice throwing darts.

That day was no different from usual.

"Disciple, I won't talk about techniques, but your strength… has indeed increased very quickly!"

"Come, come! Let's spar!"

The white-haired Liu Hui saw Chen Mu's dart stabbing into the tree and felt gratified.

Chen Mu agreed subconsciously. It was not the first time his master had sparred with him, but he did not think that there would be anything special about it.

Compared to the dart technique, his martial arts were very ordinary.

The reason for this was mainly because he was influenced by his previous life and felt that long-range attacks were better than close combat.

Furthermore, he could ambush people from afar. If he could not defeat them, he could run away. It was a safe move.

Therefore, he devoted almost all his energy to practicing the dart technique.

Although he said that, his strength and reaction speed were incredible, so it would not be easy for his master to defeat him.

As they sparred, the Little Assistant suddenly sent a notification.

[Mortal Deduction Ability+1]

[Mortal Deduction Ability+1]

...

Chen Mu was surprised when he heard the notification.

In the end, his master was still indignant and wanted to read his fortune.

[Host has no talent for deduction. Deduction ability has been converted into a single-use mortal deduction skill.]

After sparring for more than ten minutes, another prompt came from the system.

Right at this moment, Liu Hui suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood as his entire body fell limply to the ground.

Chen Mu was alarmed when he saw this. He hurriedly went over to take a look. Only then did he realize that his master, who had been able to exchange a few moves with him, was already on the brink of death!

Before he could go to the doctor, Liu Hui said softly, "Disciple, my time is up. It's useless."

He laughed at himself mockingly.

"I've leaked too many heavenly secrets and my lifespan is coming to an end. Heh, someone like me can't just lie in bed and wait for death."

"That's why I ignored the backlash from the Heavenly Dao just now and deduced everything I could. I wanted to help you deduce some clues about your identity…"

"To think I still failed."

Upon hearing that, Chen Mu said helplessly, "Master, didn't I tell you not to read my fortune?"

Liu Hui smiled without a trace of regret.

"Sigh, I was curious."

"Disciple, I won't hide it from you. I've lived for more than 70 years and traveled throughout the 24 prefectures of Country Yan. I've never seen anyone like you."

"Your strength has grown too quickly. Half a year ago, you were unable to even truss a chicken. Now, although you still cannot lift a cauldron with your strength, you are almost there."

"You don't look like a normal person at all."

"Furthermore, with your extraordinary face…"

"I suspect that you were born in a certain cultivation clan and accidentally wandered into the forest."

"If I could deduce your background, I might be able to let you return to your family and enter the cultivation world…"

Chen Mu felt bitter when he heard that.

Master's greatest wish in life was to enter the cultivation world.

It was a pity that he did not have a spiritual root.

If he could take a cultivator as his disciple, then it would be enough to resolve the obsession in his heart.

"Master, I will enter the cultivation world one day." Chen Mu consoled him softly and firmly.

Liu Hui smiled in relief, "I know you can do it. Be it your appearance or your destiny, you are incompatible with us mortals."

"Unfortunately… I wasn't able to help you."

"Master, don't say such things. If not for you, I might have been eaten by the ferocious beasts on the mountain!"

"Don't worry, if I become an immortal one day, I will definitely announce it to the world. Stone Village's Liu Hui is my master!"

When Liu Hui heard this, he was slightly stunned as tears appeared in his eyes. Then, he gently held Chen Mu's hand and passed away.

...

After burying his master, Chen Mu used the mortal deduction skill.

His master did not know where he came from, but he knew.

Furthermore, he knew that he could not deduce anything.

Therefore, it was useless for him to hold onto the mortal deduction skill.

When he used this mortal deduction skill, he did not deliberately deduce any specific thing. Instead, he tried to deduce in the direction of cultivation to see if he could get some clues about immortal cultivation.

Even if it was wasted, it was not a huge loss.

However, something unexpected happened.

Chen Mu did not know if it was because the mortal deduction skill was flawed, or due to some other reason, but in the end, the Little Assistant came up with a very strange result that appeared in Chen Mu's mind.

...

Azure Yang Sect's Ancestor:

A thousand years later, a sect-destroying calamity will descend!

However, no matter what great calamity it is, there will always be a chance of survival.

According to my deductions, on the ninth day of the first month of the year 6200 of the immortal lunar calendar, my Azure Yang Sect will open its doors. On the day after the disciple recruitment, the destined person to resolve our calamity will come to my Azure Yang Sect.

If we accept this person, our Azure Yang Sect can safely survive this calamity.

If not, my Azure Yang Sect will definitely be destroyed.

Please bear this in mind.

...

Chen Mu was somewhat speechless when he saw the results of the Little Assistant's deduction.

What was this?

This was something that another person had deduced.

The Little Assistant, on the other hand, took a peek and used the content as its own deduction.

However, Chen Mu soon realized something unusual.

Year 6200 of the immortal lunar calendar…

Wasn't it just half a year later?

This meant that half a year later, when the Azure Yang Sect was recruiting disciples, there would be one person who would be late by a day, and that person would be the destined one to face the calamity.

If he chose the right time to go to the Azure Yang Sect and became the person who was destined to face the calamity…

Wouldn't that be a higher starting point?

How could the Azure Yang Sect mistreat a person who was meant to face the calamity?

This would be a huge help to him.

Could it be that Master was really watching over him from the heavens?

Chen Mu had to think in this direction.

As for whether another person would arrive at the same time as him, he did not really care…

He guessed that there would be. After all, he was not from this world, so the Azure Yang Sect's ancestor should not be able to deduce him.

If there was such a person, then he would lay an ambush to knock that person unconscious so he would be late for another day.

This… was not too much, right?
