Chapter 604 Ji Wuwu Bows to a Master
"Good morning."
Chu Feng had just arrived at the grand hall when he saw Ji Wuwu standing there, so he immediately offered a greeting.
Ji Wuwu, however, knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "This junior pays his respects to the Great Martial."
"Rise."
Chu Feng spoke as he reached out and raised his hand to help Ji Wuwu up, then asked unhurriedly, "Is there an important matter for you to wait here for this Seat?"
"This junior wishes to bow to the Great Martial as a master." Ji Wuwu did not hide his thoughts and spoke directly.
Chu Feng said, "It is not impossible for you to bow to this Seat as a master, as long as you can pass this Seat's test."
"Senior, please just give your orders to this kid."
Ji Wuwu said with an excited face. He was not conspicuous in his clan; otherwise, he would not have been given the name Wuwu.
Now that he had the opportunity to become the Great Martial's disciple, he naturally did not want to miss it.
"Very good."
Chu Feng said slowly, "From today onwards, you will jump into the water and chop firewood every day, and observe Xiao Chen and Da Qian cultivating and seeking the Dao."
"When you find your own Dao, you may bow to this Seat as a master."
Ji Wuwu scratched his head and asked somewhat puzzled, "Senior, what is seeking the Dao?"
Chu Feng explained patiently, "It is about what kind of person you want to become and what kind of Dao you want to walk."
"To become a true expert, you must have a firm Dao heart and know what you seek. If what you seek is too ordinary, then it can only be said that you are destined to have no connection with this Seat."
"This junior understands."
After saying that, Ji Wuwu began to think about what kind of expert he wanted to become; simply saying he wanted to become an expert like the Senior would definitely not do.
"Go down now. I will have Da Qian tell you where to jump into the water and where to chop firewood." Chu Feng said as he waved his hand.
"As you command."
Ji Wuwu responded and then retreated.
...
Time passes unnoticed in the mountains; in the blink of an eye, Ji Wuwu had been at the Wendao Academy for eighty-one days.
During his days at the Wendao Academy, Ji Wuwu's life was very plain. He did not need to go out hunting every day as he did in the tribe, fighting with beasts and demons.
His state of mind also gradually returned to calmness. Watching the two Great Martials cultivate and spar every day, he went from envy at the beginning to being accustomed to it now.
The only thing that could make him feel excited was listening to the Sect Master Senior explain the Dao. Although he could not understand the Great Dao explained by the Sect Master, every time he finished listening, he would feel a marvelous sensation.
His relationship with Great Martial Xiao and Great Martial Cao also became very close, and he would often ask them some questions about the Great Dao.
Both of their replies made him extraordinarily shocked. Great Martial Xiao said he wanted to become the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Swords under heaven, making the sword cultivators of this world respect him as supreme.
Great Martial Cao, on the other hand, expressed that he wanted to use his pair of Hegemon Fists to subdue all Great Martials and Martial Gods in the world.
Under the influence of these two, Ji Wuwu changed his goal from a Celestial Being, to gradually a Great Martial, and now to a Martial God.
This day was again the day the Sect Master examined his disciples, and Ji Wuwu sat beside the two Great Martials quietly waiting for the Sect Master to arrive.
"We pay respects to Master and Sect Master."
Seeing Chu Feng arrive, the three of them immediately bowed and said.
"Rise."
Chu Feng spoke as he sat under a golden bamboo, swept his gaze over the three people present, and began to ask, "Have there been any places in your cultivation recently that you do not understand?"
Cao You Qian and Xiao Chen said in unison, "Disciples' cultivation is going smoothly, and we have no doubts."
Chu Feng was relatively reassured about these two disciples of his, so he immediately landed his gaze on Ji Wuwu and asked, "What about you?"
Ji Wuwu said, "In reply to the Sect Master, this junior has thought of his Dao."
"Oh."
Chu Feng asked with some interest, "Tell me about it."
Ji Wuwu opened his mouth and said, "Senior, this disciple wants to become a supreme Martial God, in control of the Great Dao."
Chu Feng said with a smile, "You have some idea, but it is not enough yet; think about it again carefully."
Ji Wuwu scratched his head, revealing a look of shame on his face, and asked in a low voice, "Senior, is this junior too stupid?"
"Of course not."
Chu Feng naturally would not strike a disciple's self-confidence at this time, so the corners of his mouth rose slightly as he said, "Jiu Wu, you just have too narrow a horizon."
"In your cognition, a Martial God is the most powerful existence in this world, but little do you know that a Martial God is only the starting point of cultivation."
"Ah?"
Ji Wuwu was stunned by Chu Feng's words. He never imagined that the Sect Master would say words that subverted his cognition.
After a good while, he came back to his senses and said respectfully, "Sect Master, can you tell me what kind of existence exists above the Martial God?"
Chu Feng said faintly, "Naturally, it is an existence that can carry the Heavenly Mandate and transcend this world."
"Does such an existence really exist in this world?"
Ji Wuwu had never thought that such an existence would appear in this world. If it really existed, would not a Martial God be like an ant before such an existence?
"Of course there is."
Chu Feng continued to ask, "If one day, you become a Martial God, what will you do?"
Ji Wuwu did not think too much this time and soon opened his mouth to say, "I want to establish a peaceful home for the Human Race and not let the Human Race continue to be oppressed by the Demon Race."
"Very good."
Chu Feng revealed a gratified smile on his face: "If you can achieve this point, you will become the Human Emperor of this world."
As soon as the words Human Emperor came out, it was as if something had exploded in Ji Wuwu's mind. All the previous confusion and misunderstanding in his heart disappeared, replaced by a firm goal.
He slowly stood up and bowed respectfully to Chu Feng: "This junior has considered it clearly. Bowing to a master to learn skills is only to become the Human Emperor."
"I will establish a kingdom belonging to myself in this world, and let the Human Race live peacefully."
"Good."
Chu Feng accepted Ji Wuwu's great gift and continued, "This Seat is proficient in three thousand Daos. You may choose any one or several of them to cultivate."
Ji Wuwu blurted out, "This disciple wants to cultivate the Sword Dao."
Chu Feng said with a smile, "That is acceptable. Using the sword to suppress the hundred races and gather the Human Race's Qi Luck is also a not bad path of cultivation."
"However, this Seat will not pass sword techniques to you, but will only pass basic sword moves. But I will pass a scroll of the Heavenly Book to you, allowing you to comprehend your own Sword Dao from within the Heavenly Book."
Hearing this, Ji Wuwu immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Chu Feng: "Disciple pays respects to Master."
"Rise."
Chu Feng reached out to help Ji Wuwu up and said, "Once the apprenticeship ceremony is held, you will be this Seat's disciple."
Cao You Qian, who was to the side, immediately took out a tea table from his storage ring as if by magic. After brewing the tea, he handed the tea to Ji Wuwu.
The latter did not understand why, but still took the tea into his hands. Xiao Chen explained to the side, "The rule of our Wendao Academy's Slanting Moon Mountain is that the apprenticeship ceremony is formally completed after offering tea."
"Many thanks, Senior Brother."
Ji Wuwu spoke and knelt down again, offering the tea with both hands.
Chu Feng received the tea, took a sip, then helped Ji Wuwu up and said with a smile, "From this day forth, you are a disciple of my Wendao Academy and also one of this Seat's personal disciples."
As soon as the words fell, a phenomenon appeared in the sky...
