Reading Is Holy! Exposed By My Junior Sister!

Chapter 162: The Overwhelming Cauldron, Fifth Ancestor of the Taiyuan Sect!

The Hidden Sect is quite far from the Heavenly Water Sect, but it wouldn't take much time to get there by flying boat.

Thanks to Chen Chang'an's Dao techniques along the way, the two of them quickly arrived at the territory where the Hidden Sect was located.

In the sky surrounded by mountains below, a magnificent heavenly palace stood tall.

Inside the heavenly palace, there were countless pavilions, towers, and palaces, with wisps of immortal energy lingering in between.

It looked just like a real fairyland.

Within this fairyland-like palace, hundreds and thousands of disciples from the Hidden Sect could be seen moving about.

"Is Daoist Xuandao here? Chen Chang'an, the peak master of the Heavenly Water Sect, has come with his senior brother Li Daoran to pay respects to the mountain."

After arriving here, Chen Chang'an shouted loudly from high in the sky, his voice resounding throughout the Hidden Sect.

Buzz~!

In an instant, a buzzing sound could be heard. On this piece of land belonging to the Hidden Sect, one large formation after another rose up.

The Hidden Sect was indeed a sect that had made its name through artifact refining. Not to mention anything else, just the level of their formations alone was equivalent to having the foundation of a Heavenly Venerable, which was incredibly powerful.

Buzz~!

"So it's Senior Chen's arrival. Please come in, please come in."

The next moment, several figures dressed in Dao robes appeared in the sky, with an elderly man at the forefront, his face rosy and radiant.

The old man held a whisk in his hand, and when he first appeared, his whole demeanor was tense.

But as soon as he saw that it was Chen Chang'an and Li Daoran, the tension on his face instantly disappeared.

In its place, he quickly bowed towards Chen Chang'an and Li Daoran.

This old man was none other than the sect master of the Hidden Sect, Daoist Xuandao.

"Daoist Xuandao, I apologize for the intrusion. I have come to your esteemed sect this time with a request."

"Please listen to me carefully, Daoist Xuandao." After seeing Daoist Xuandao and the others come out, Chen Chang'an didn't waste any time and instantly walked out of the clouds, stating his purpose.

"In that case, I hope Daoist Xuandao can lend me the Taiyi Immortal Cauldron of your esteemed sect for a while." After speaking, Chen Chang'an bowed to Daoist Xuandao.

"I can't bear to part with it, and I can't let you use it, Saint Chen. This is not something I can allow."

Seeing Chen Chang'an bow, Daoist Xuandao quickly shook his head and then stepped forward to stop him with a wave of his hand.

The Immortal Cultivation World places great emphasis on strength determining status. The bigger the fist, the higher the seniority.

With Chen Chang'an's current status, he was at least several levels above him.

He absolutely couldn't accept the bowing of such a Transcendent Level figure.

Then, he looked at Chen Chang'an and asked, "Saint Chen, I am not saying that I cannot lend you our sect's Taiyi Immortal Cauldron, but may I ask, what do you want to use our sect's Taiyi Immortal Cauldron for?"

Although the Taiyi Immortal Cauldron was the Hidden Sect's treasure, it was occasionally lent to others. If a powerful force or an invincible individual was willing to pay a price, they could borrow the Taiyi Immortal Cauldron for a while.

However, while lending was possible, it was necessary to clarify what it would be used for.

"Just so that Daoist Xuandao knows, I plan to refine a powerful artifact," Chen Chang'an said.

"Artifact refining?"

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Daoist Xuandao looked at him in surprise for a moment, but then the surprise in his eyes disappeared, replaced by an expression that seemed to say, "I should have expected that."

Nowadays, Chen Chang'an is a supreme expert. It is normal for someone like him to create his own personal treasure. However, it was surprising to the old Daoist Xuan Dao that Chen Chang'an wanted to use his sect's Taiyi Immortal Cauldron.

At this moment, Chen Chang'an spoke, "I wonder if it is feasible?"

"It's possible. Chen Sheng, please feel free to use it," Xuan Daoist nodded. It was something their hidden sect had been hoping for, to be on good terms with a powerful expert like Chen Chang'an. How could they refuse?

"Thank you, Daoist," Chen Chang'an smiled slightly upon hearing this, then he pointed to Li Daoran beside him and said, "This is my senior brother and also the sect master of our sect, Li Daoran. He came here to discuss some matters about the Hengduan Mountains with Daoist."

"I don't understand much about these trading matters, so I'll trouble Daoist to discuss with my senior brother," Chen Chang'an said.

"Greetings, Daoist Xuan," Li Daoran also stepped forward and bowed to Xuan Daoist.

Although they were both sect masters, with Li Daoran's status, it would have been difficult for him to meet Xuan Daoist under normal circumstances. But now, those difficulties no longer existed.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Li," Xuan Daoist didn't dare to be impolite and immediately returned the greeting.

Then the two began to discuss the topic of the Hengduan Mountains.

Although the Hengduan Mountains were far from the hidden sect, they were still an important strategic location for the sect. Inside the Hengduan Mountains, there were many mineral resources needed for the cultivation of hidden sect disciples.

However, because a Great Demon had been lurking in the Hengduan Mountains for many years, the hidden sect rarely ventured into the area.

But now, things were different. The guardian of the Hengduan Mountains had been revealed to be Chen Chang'an.

And who was Chen Chang'an?

A Nine Realms Supreme Saint!

With his protection, the hidden sect would almost be worry-free in the Hengduan Mountains in the future.

As an exchange, disciples of the hidden sect would accompany disciples of the Heavenly Water Sect when exploring the Hengduan Mountains. As for what they would give in return, that would be discussed later.

"Chen Sheng, this is the token to the Tai Xuan Secret Realm. With this token, you can enter the Taiyi Immortal Cauldron, which is located there."

"There are several of my esteemed ancestors in the secret realm. I have just communicated with them about this matter."

"When you go there, just show them this token, and they will understand," Xuan Daoist said.

After the conversation, Xuan Daoist took out a glowing object from his pocket and threw it into Chen Chang'an's hand.

Chen Chang'an took a look and saw that it was an ancient bronze token. The token emitted a mysterious aura and a constant Dao Rhyme. It was obviously made by a master of the Array Dao at the Apex Level.

This should be the key to opening the Tai Xuan Secret Realm mentioned by Xuan Daoist.

"Thank you, Daoist," Chen Chang'an took the token and immediately expressed his gratitude.

Xuan Daoist shook his head, "Chen Sheng, there's no need to be so polite. The matter in the Hengduan Mountains has always been the biggest problem for our sect. Since you have given such a great gift to our sect, it is only right for us to give something in return."

In other words, it was a matter of reciprocity.

"Qing'er, the two of you take Mr. Chen to the Tai Xuan Secret Realm," Xuan Daoist said, looking at the two young disciples beside him.

"Yes, Master," the two young disciples quickly bowed and then looked at Chen Chang'an, gesturing for him to follow.

"Sir, please follow us," they said.

Seeing this, Chen Chang'an didn't hesitate and immediately followed them.

Buzz~!

In a short while, under the guidance of the two young disciples, Chen Chang'an arrived in a secluded space.

This should be the back mountain of the Hidden Sect, a space that is incredibly quiet. Chen Chang'an can feel that there are several terrifying formations spread around.

The level of these formations is not low, slightly surpassing the ones he set up on Hidden Dao Mountain.

The ancient tradition is indeed not to be underestimated.

Seeing this scene, Chen Chang'an nods inwardly.

"Mr. Chen, this is it."

"Mr. Chen just needs to place the token on this restriction to open it and enter."

After arriving here, the two young disciples lead Chen Chang'an to walk around in this space for a while.

After a while, after going through several twists and turns, the three finally arrive in front of a gate.

The gate is purple, like a deep spiral purple hole, and the surroundings are filled with strangeness. At this moment, a terrifying Great Dao aura occasionally emanates from inside.

"Mr. Chen, this is it."

The two young disciples come to the gate and stand on either side, respectfully saying to Chen Chang'an.

"Alright, thank you both." Chen Chang'an nods in response.

"Tianxuan and Dihuang, Taiyi gives birth to the abyss."

"Fleeting light, all roads open!"

"Restriction, be lifted!"

Then, he takes a step forward, shouts, and slams the token in his hand onto the restriction.

Buzz~!

At the next moment, a buzzing sound is heard, and the restriction disappears, replaced by a bronze gate that is two people tall in front of Chen Chang'an.

At this time, after the appearance of the bronze gate, the two young disciples who were originally standing by the gate bow respectfully to Chen Chang'an again.

"Sir, this is where the ancestors rest. As disciples, we cannot enter at will, so we can only accompany you here. Please forgive us, sir."

Apologies fill their faces.

"Alright." Chen Chang'an, the Taoist, doesn't think much about it and steps into it.

Once inside the gate, another scene appears in front of Chen Chang'an.

Here, it is no longer silent and dark, but filled with greenery all around. The scene is peaceful, like a fairyland.

This is a small secret realm, a pure land left behind since ancient times. After millions of years of evolution, it has finally become the appearance of this small world.

In the center of this fairyland-like small world, a majestic large cauldron sits on a white jade square.

The large cauldron has six legs and is made of ancient bronze. Terrifying ancient runes cover the body of the cauldron.

There are so many runes that they almost envelop the entire cauldron.

Under the blessing of so many runes, the aura around the cauldron is exceptionally terrifying. Facing it is like facing an unparalleled immortal god!

This large cauldron is none other than the purpose of Chen Chang'an's trip, the Taiyi Immortal Cauldron of the Hidden Sect.

Chen Chang'an had heard rumors about the Taiyi Immortal Cauldron of the Hidden Sect a long time ago. It is said to be a cauldron that is closest to an Immortal Weapon in the world!

It was formed at the end of the mythological era, shone brightly in ancient times, and later experienced the turmoil of the ancient era. It was only brought out by the people of the Hidden Sect from the ruins at the end of the ancient era.

However, even after the turmoil of the ancient era, the Taiyi Immortal Cauldron is still incredibly brilliant. It is still the cauldron that is closest to immortality in this world, without equal!

To be honest, when Chen Chang'an heard these legends before, he didn't think much of it.

Because he has been in contact with immortals and similar existences, whether it's Kidney Deficiency Master or Little Elephant.

Even though these two individuals' abilities are no longer what they used to be, it doesn't prevent Chen Chang'an from considering them as a reference.

In the end, Chen Chang'an came to the conclusion that in this world, it is impossible for immortals to exist.

Therefore, he has never paid any attention to the rumors about the Taiyi Immortal Cauldron.

If it weren't for the fact that he needed to use it this time, perhaps he would never have come to see this cauldron in his entire life.

However, at this moment, when he saw the Taiyi Immortal Cauldron, Chen Chang'an could only say one thing: he was wrong, extremely wrong.

This Taiyi Immortal Cauldron truly deserves the title of "immortal" as a prefix!

Not to mention anything else, just the ethereal aura lingering around it is enough to surpass countless beings in this world.

Moreover, at the moment he saw the Taiyi Immortal Cauldron, Chen Chang'an had a realization.

Perhaps the traces on this cauldron are enough to penetrate through half of the ancient history of the Formless World!

This is terrifying!

Buzz~!

While Chen Chang'an was examining the Taiyi Immortal Cauldron, suddenly, for some unknown reason, the void around the cauldron began to tremble slightly.

Then, five Daoist figures appeared there.

They were five old men wearing Daoist robes, with white hair and beards.

Although they looked very old, the expressions on their faces were full of vitality.

There is no doubt that these are five great cultivators!

At this moment, the five old men were sitting cross-legged at a corner of the Taiyi Immortal Cauldron, endless Dao laws spread out from them, blending harmoniously into the Taiyi Immortal Realm.

Everything seemed to be like some important ritual.

Chen Chang'an did not disturb the five men because he could tell that they were refining artifacts.

And at this moment, Chen Chang'an also guessed the identities of the five old men.

If his guess was correct, these should be the five ancestral guardians of the Taiyuan Sect who have been guarding the Taiyi Immortal Cauldron since ancient times.

"Ning~!"

Buzz~!

Without making Chen Chang'an wait for long, after about half an incense stick's worth of time, a cold shout suddenly came from the sky, followed by a buzzing sound.

Immediately after, Chen Chang'an saw a cauldron emitting an ethereal aura flying out from the void.

It didn't appear out of thin air, it was melted out from the Taiyi Immortal Cauldron.

Obviously, the five men's artifact refining this time was successful.

"The old man Tianxingzi greets Saint Chen."

"The old man Tianyuanzi greets Saint Chen."

"The old man Tiangezi."

"."

The five successful artifact refiners did not stay in place for long. After tidying up, they immediately came to Chen Chang'an and paid their respects.

"We greet the five Fellow Daoists," Chen Chang'an nodded and returned the gesture.

The five hidden sect elders, Tianxingzi, Tianyuanzi, Tiangezi, Tiandanzi, and Tianchenzi.

Together, they are known as the Taiyuan Five Ancestors, who have been guarding the Taiyi Immortal Cauldron for generations and are also the most familiar with its use.
