Chapter Eleven Witch

  Shangguan Yu respectfully bowed three times to Zhuge Yuan, the land of Tianxuan is very respectful of teachers and morals. One day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father, it's not just empty words.

  Zhuge Yuan naturally accepted this courtesy and said so much to Shangguan Yu just to take him as his apprentice.

  "Hehe... from now on you're Master's good disciple. Don't pay too much attention to the formalities of becoming a disciple, get up!"

  Zhuge Yuan walked up to Shangguan Yu and personally helped him up. "Master has carefully examined you, your soul is extremely strong, very suitable for learning witchcraft. But don't hold too much hope, after all, those who can learn witchcraft are few and far between."

  Zhuge Yuan walked to the middle of the courtyard, sat down cross-legged and said, "You come over and sit like me." After Shangguan Yu sat down, Zhuge Yuan continued to ask: "In your understanding, what is a witch?"

  Shangguan Yu's eyes fluttered vaguely as he thought back to the other legends of his past life. However, he remembered that witches were supposedly very evil, thin and bony. Moreover, they could cast curses based on a person's hair or blood, belonging to the kind that everyone feared.

  However, he took a look at Zhuge Yuan, although he didn't appear to be as robust as a martial artist, but was still within the normal range. It was completely different from what he had thought, and he could only make guesses based on what he had just heard.

  "That disciple said, don't blame the master if he's wrong. Wu is to communicate with the heaven and earth yuanqi, and then use it for oneself, thereby launching an attack. According to the amount of communication with the heaven and earth yuanqi, strong or weak, to determine the size of the power. Moreover, Wu only cultivates the soul, but does not cultivate the flesh. Compared to martial artists, the flesh is much weaker."

  "Not bad, you know so much, I'm already surprised. Thinking back to the old days, when I first came into contact with Wu, I had no idea what Wu was."

  Didn't Zhuge Yuan tell him before? thought Upper Official Yu secretly.

  "Witches can communicate with the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and then cast their spells. Spells also have strengths and weaknesses, just like a warrior's martial arts moves. We don't need to chant incantations like mages do in order to cast spells, that would take too much time. They are praying, thereby gaining the recognition of the elements. While we are commanding, making the primordial energy of heaven and earth listen to us, this is why witches don't need to chant incantations."

  This was a bit unbelievable to Shangguan Yu, if that's the case, how could the Taoist and the warrior defeat the witch? The Taoist had just started chanting his spell when the witch cast her technique and took care of him. The warrior hadn't even rushed over yet when the witch also cast her technique and killed him off.

  "Sounds like Wu is quite formidable?" Zhuge Yuan looked at Shangguan Yu with a hint of a smile, as if he knew what was on his mind.

  Shangguan Yu didn't hide it either, "As Shifu said, isn't Wu already invincible in the world? Why is it now that there are the most warriors?"

  "Cultivate a way, different paths converge. By the time they reach the back, martial artists are no longer what you see, they can grasp stars and break through the void. It's not possible to fly over first and then catch the stars, right? Moreover, when cultivators reach the back, their spiritual power is extremely vast. That way, there's no need to chant spells unless it's a super forbidden spell!"

  He finally understood and was deeply embarrassed by his own ignorance. He is now a frog at the bottom of a well, completely unaware of how vast the world is.

  "The most important thing is that warriors and mages are easy to cultivate, but witches are extremely difficult to cultivate. Very few people are suitable for learning witchcraft, so until now, the lineage of witches has almost been cut off. Of course, except for those evil witches, they have been passed down to this day."

  Zhuge Yuan's words were filled with murderous intent, his eyes burning with a deep-seated hatred. His pupils were bloodshot, almost obscured by the whites of his eyes. The world around him seemed to have lost all order, as if the very fabric of heaven and earth was exploding apart.

  Shangguan Yu was blown away several feet, and at this moment, the wise king seemed to be that demon king who slaughtered all living things. He had completely lost his usual warmth, leaving only a sky-high resentment and endless coldness. He was really stunned, never expecting that Zhuge Yuan still had such a side. What kind of hatred could make Zhuge Yuan become like this?

  "Master, wake up quickly! If you don't wake up soon, your disciple will die!" In his heart, Shangguan Yu was filled with resentment. If he really died like this, then he would truly have no place to cry.

  Suddenly, a golden light shot out from Xiang Yu's body, and this golden light submerged the entire sky and earth. There was no sound, as if the golden light had gently stroked the sky and earth. Immediately after, the sky and earth returned to calmness, and the previous ferocity was gone.

  "Xiao Yu, are you alright? It's Master's fault for not being able to control his emotions!" Fortunately, this was the courtyard of the Zhi Jue Wang Fu, where no one would normally come. Zhuge Yuan also regained his composure, as if nothing had happened earlier.

  "It's nothing, what did Master recall after all?"

  "For a long time, I've been suppressing this in my heart, and this time it almost led to a big mistake. However, you don't need to worry about this matter now, your current cultivation is too low, wait until Master tells you again in the future." In fact, Zhuge Yuan thought to himself that he would let Shangguan Yu never know about this matter. He would solve his own problems and didn't want to implicate Shangguan Yu. Although he also had high hopes for Shangguan Yu's future, he didn't think Shangguan Yu could contend with that powerful family.

  "By the way, what's with the golden light on your body just now?" Zhuge Yuan changed the subject, not wanting to continue discussing that heavy topic with Shangguan Yu.

  Shangguan Yu also understood that Zhuge Yuan was changing the subject, he knew that Zhuge Yuan must be a person with a story. However, for now, he couldn't help much and could only remember it in his heart to ask again later.

  "I don't know either, but I can feel that golden light is very kind and loving, just like the feeling of a father giving it to me!"

  Shangguan Yu recalled the scene when the golden light appeared and said a sentence that surprised even himself.

  "If what I'm thinking is correct, then that golden light is the root of why you can't cultivate. Let me take a look and see what's going on!"

  Zhuge Yuan didn't make any movement, his eyes just gradually lost their luster. Shangguan Yu simply looked at Zhuge Yuan, he didn't have any strange feeling.

  "Hmm..."

  Zhuge Yuan let out a deep breath, "It's too terrifying, even I can't help you. If I didn't have any ill intentions, at the very least, you would be severely injured and on the verge of death!"

  "Don't think too much about this matter, it's not a bad thing. You should continue to study magic well, and even if you can enter the path of martial arts in the future, don't give up on magic, got it?"

  "An apprentice understands that having many skills is not a burden, who would complain about being skilled?"

  "But you're thinking too far ahead, whether or not you can learn magic is a different story. You should know that the most important thing for a wizard is perception, in this aspect wizards are far superior to warriors and mages, which is also our greatest advantage."

  Zhuge Yuan paused, his face full of solemnity. "We must sense the spirits far away, feel their evolution, and comprehend the mysteries of interdependence and mutual restraint. Furthermore, we need to perceive the rules of heaven and earth, the evolution of all things, and the transformation of the universe."

  "Master can only lead you into the door of practice, and as a master, I also cannot call you so many times. The path of the strong is one that you need to walk by yourself. Do you understand?"

  Shangguan Yu nodded in agreement, he also deeply agreed with this point.

  Zhuge Yuan suddenly had a book in his hand. "This 'Rebellion Witch Emperor' is given to you, it was unintentionally obtained by Master once. Don't underestimate this scripture, legend has it that it's related to the Witch Emperor!"

  "Great Emperor Wu Xie?" This was the first time that Shangguan Yu had heard of the Great Emperor, a legendary strongman from the Emperor's Extreme Realm.

  "The harmony of yin and yang forms three unions; when rounded, it becomes ninefold. This is the ancient transmission of the Taoist teachings."

  "The Great Emperor is a realm that we all aspire to, the Great Emperor's single thought moves, and all living beings surrender. What's the point of telling you this, just take a look at this scripture instead."

  Zhuge was cultivating the "Great Zhou Tian Wu Jue", and he couldn't even open this "Inverted Chaos Witchcraft". Since he got this scripture, he could only look at the four words "Inverted Chaos Witchcraft" on the cover. However, these four words alone had brought him immense benefits, and it's not hard to imagine the profundity of this scripture.

  He didn't have much hope for Shangguan Yu, just letting him try. After all, this classic book was of no great use in his hands, and it might even be better if it fell into Shangguan Yu's hands. He did hope that his disciple would achieve great things in the future, but he didn't have much expectation for Shangguan Yu to unlock the secrets of this classic book.

  He just felt that in the distant future, perhaps Shangguan Yu could unlock the secrets of this scripture. Immediately after, another scripture appeared in his hand, which was the "Great Zhou Tian Wu Jue" he had been cultivating.

  "This book 'Taoist Scripture of the Great Heavenly Circulation' is a scripture for my master's cultivation, take a look at it. Inside, there are also my master's cultivation experiences and insights, which will definitely be helpful to you in the future."

  Shangguan Yu carefully accepted the book, he would still need this scripture in his future path to becoming a strong practitioner.

  Zhuge Yuan handed him another ring, "Your previous ring space was too small, change to this one from now on."

  As for the space ring, Yu Wei didn't think it was strange at all. He had used it many times before. It's just that after using the space ring, he still couldn't help but marvel at how such a large space could be inside.

  Zhuge Yuan gave him this ring, the space inside is probably several hundred cubic meters in size. Much larger than his original one, he happily put on this ring.

  "It doesn't matter about those things, this 'Inversely Chaotic Witchcraft' is now given to you. Anything related to the Great Emperor will stir up contention among people. If you can't take good care of it, I won't give it to you right now!"

  This time, Officer Yu was also excited. It was something related to the legendary Great Emperor that ordinary people would not be able to see in their lifetime, yet it appeared before him.

  Zhuge Yuan's face wore a faint smile. In a moment, he would surely disappoint Shangguan Yu. What use was there in taking a scripture that couldn't be opened at all?

  Shangguan Yu had no idea what Zhuge Yuan was thinking, he took over the book, and the four big words on the cover deeply attracted him.

  Zhuge Yuan couldn't laugh anymore.

  In the field, a dark light flashed, and a strange change suddenly occurred. The "Reversal Witchcraft" actually transformed into a dark light that pierced into Shangguan Yu's brow.
