The Return of the Greatest Sect Leader
Chapter 69 ~ Heavenly Road Art Essence

Li Yao's body trembled withstanding anger. This daily one himself continued to be treated arbitrarily by his seniors, especially by Senior Shao Yahui. Li Yao was even more annoyed that he could do nothing.

Had Li Yao's body condition been fine, he would definitely have directly beaten up the handsome young man until his form could no longer be recognized. But now Li Yao had to be patient, be patient with all his might. Li Yao felt that he could lose control at any moment.

That afternoon, the students finished their training routine as usual. Inside the unfamiliar room, Li Yao was massaging the back of a young man who was sleeping. That young man was none other than Shao Yahui.

"Junior, why are your hands shaking like that?" shao Yahui asked without looking at Li Yao.

At this time the handsome young man was closing his eyes, he was focused on enjoying the massage that was being done by his junior. Hearing those words, Li Yao's irritation increased by several folds.

"Hey, be careful while massaging that part! My body still hasn't healed from last night's fight" Shao Yahui said as he felt his wound being touched by Li Yao.

Li Yao's patience was finally exhausted.

Li Yao's hand tightened, his fist immediately landing hard onto the handsome young man's wound. Shao Yahui was startled and then suddenly cried out in pain, the pleasure he had felt in an instant instantly turned into pain.

Another blow began to land on Shao Yahui's wounds. Shao Yahui wanted to put up a fight but the pain clouded every plan in his head. Li Yao continued to beat up the handsome young man until the resentment subsided.

Li Yao's fist was not only targeting Shao Yahui's wounds, it was also eyeing the face and other parts that were extremely sensitive to pain. Shao Yahui's screams grew louder.

Back then, Li Yao did not use the Qi within his body at all. He was purely just using the physical strength he had been training insanely.

"Do you want to die?!" threatening Shao Yahui, in the middle of him getting a punch repeatedly from Li Yao.

Li Yao ignored him.

The moment Li Yao stopped his punch, the handsome young man had fainted in an extremely miserable state. Li Yao's anger subsided, he realized that he had made a shitty problem. Li Yao immediately sighed, it seemed that for the next few days he had to hide somewhere.

***

Two days had passed, ever since Li Yao beat Shao Yahui to a pulp. During that time Li Yao was hiding in the forest behind the sect, or rather he was hiding inside the simple Tao Yuhan house.

Now Shao Yahui must be on the lookout for Li Yao's whereabouts. Li Yao could only imagine it.

Inside the underground room, Li Yao was sitting cross-legged facing the stone inscription placed at the center of the room. The room was dim and silent, perfect for Li Yao who was focusing on recuperating.

"It turns out you've been hiding here all this time."

A familiar girl's voice entered into Li Yao's ears. Li Yao slowly opened his eyes then turned his head towards the voice of the girl. There stood a beautiful girl with a flat facial expression as usual

Tao Yuhan's.

"What is my brother doing here?" li Yao asked starting the conversation.

"This is my home" replied Tao Yuhan.

"How's the sect doing while I'm hiding?" li Yao asked curiously.

"It's normal." Tao Yuhan walked over to the stone inscription and touched it.

"Oh, there's a loser trying so hard to find you."

Li Yao's smile appeared.

"Actually I've been very curious." Li Yao paused his words for a moment, while Tao Yuhan only silently listened to him.

"Did Big Brother only master the Heavenly Road Art until the second chapter?"

"Yes," answered Tao Yuhan briefly.

"I can't believe it! Isn't Brother someone very talented? It should be easy for Big Brother to master the Heavenly Road Art until the fifth chapter."

"I can indeed master the first and second chapter of the Heavenly Road Art in just one try, but the third chapter is different." Tao Yuhan began to explain.

"The art of the third chapter of the Heavenly Road is a choice. I had to choose a path for me to walk, but I couldn't even see the choice."

Li Yao silently listened carefully, rarely seeing Tao Yuhan speak that much.

"A question sometimes pops up in my head when I see the inscription on this stone. Do I have a way? When I think about it, I will only see darkness. It felt like I was locked up in hell. My body is fine, but I feel pain. I couldn't see the choice, nor could I see the path I had to choose" Tao Yuhan explained at length.

Although it was only a glance, Li Yao could feel a trace of emotion within the girl's words. Li Yao's head looked up, Tao Yuhan immediately stood before him.

"I don't understand, why should I walk and choose a path I can't see?" said Tao Yuhan, continuing his explanation.

A moment of silence ruled the room. A minute later, Li Yao again asked Tao Yuhan something.

"How can Big Brother understand the concept of the first and second chapter of the Heavenly Road Art?"

"I understood the second chapter's Heavenly Road Art when father found me," Tao Yuhan replied.

"If it's the first?"

"I... " Tao Yuhan seemed to realize something then stopped her words.

"This is just my guess, is Sect Leader Tao Zhen not Big Brother's real father?"

After noticing the strange interaction between Tao Yuhan and Tao Zhen, the conjecture never escaped Li Yao's mind.

"Yes" answered Tao Yuhan.

It seems that it is true. Li Yao immediately stood up then walked over to the stone inscription, his palm swiftly touching the rough surface of the stone. Tao Yuhan turned around, he then noticed the actions the boy was doing.

"After the conversation just now I became more and more convinced," Li Yao said as he stroked the surface of the stone inscription.

"The Heavenly Road Art fits you perfectly," Li Yao said then gazed into Tao Yuhan's eyeballs.

"What do you mean?" said Tao Yuhan confusedly.

"Did Brother know? The essence of the Heaven's Path Art was a life journey that the Sect Founder himself had gone through. That was the reason, why the Sect Founder had only written down the Heavenly Road Art until the sixth chapter."

"We have our own story and journey. The art of the heavenly Path is only a guide that will help you, before you choose your true path. Your real path starts from the seventh chapter" explained Li Yao.

"I still don't understand" said Tao Yuhan.

"You just need to open your eyes! Maybe your vision is dark, because you're still closing your eyes."
