Reading Is Holy! Exposed By My Junior Sister!

Chapter 23: The Way of Heaven, Dao, Gods, Immortals, and Buddhas!

"Oh, so that's how it is."

Mao Ruxue nodded after hearing this.

She didn't doubt it either.

In the mortal world, one experiences the mortal world.

After all, there is no rule that a cultivator cannot leave the mountain for their entire life. She herself often goes down the mountain.

"Senior Brother, how long will you be gone?"

"It could be as short as three to five days, or as long as ten days to half a month."

Chen Chang'an thought for a moment, unsure of how long this trip would take.

The previous 'Hundred Sects Conference' usually ended in three to five days, but there were exceptions.

So he couldn't be sure.

Then, Chen Chang'an said to Mao Ruxue:

"I won't be on the mountain for the next two days, so be careful on the mountain."

"If you encounter something you can't handle, you can go to the Sect Master for help."

"If someone comes looking for me, tell them I'm sick and unable to see guests. Don't mention that I'm leaving the mountain."

"I understand, Senior Brother."

Mao Ruxue nodded. She hadn't forgotten that her Senior Brother was still under house arrest.

"That's good."

Seeing that Mao Ruxue seemed to understand, Chen Chang'an nodded.

Then, he took a step forward to leave.

"Oh, by the way, this is for you."

However, just as he reached the door, he suddenly remembered something and turned back.

In the next moment, Chen Chang'an took out something from his pocket and handed it to Mao Ruxue.

"Senior Brother, what is this? Is it a gift for me to become your disciple?"

Mao Ruxue looked at the hand Chen Chang'an extended to her, her face full of anticipation.

According to tradition, every cultivator who becomes a disciple of a sect will receive a 'gift' from their elders.

These gifts can be light or heavy.

Some are immortal swords, some are scriptures, and some are Supreme Divine Abilities.

Without exception, these gifts are of great help to the cultivator's future cultivation.

Mao Ruxue knew that the disciples who entered the sect with her had received gifts from their elders on the first day they joined their respective sects.

Some received immortal swords, some received Divine Abilities, and some received Treasure Weapons.

Each of them was a valuable treasure of the immortal world.

Especially those geniuses who joined the main peak, Tian Shu Peak, they each received a High-Level immortal sword personally bestowed by the Heavenly Water Sect's Sect Master Li Daoran.

A High-Level immortal sword, if sold, could fetch at least dozens of Dao Yuan Stones!

Ten Dao Yuan Stones, that's a fortune that would take her five years of work to earn!

These rewards made Mao Ruxue extremely envious.

So, she looked forward to the arrival of her own gift every day.

However, this expectation was forgotten by Mao Ruxue after she came up the mountain.

It wasn't that she wanted to forget, but Hidden Dao Mountain really didn't have the conditions to fulfill her hopes.

Not only could her only Senior Brother not cultivate, but the mountain was also so poor that they could barely afford to eat.

Under such conditions, how could she have any expectations for this gift?

"You'll know when you take it." Chen Chang'an said.

"Oh."

Mao Ruxue reached out and took the object from Chen Chang'an's hand.

When she took a look at it, she found that it was a pure white jade.

It felt cool to the touch, but not excessively cold. It gave a very comfortable feeling.

With just a slight touch, one would feel refreshed.

"Senior Brother, is this a gemstone? It feels quite interesting."

Mao Ruxue played with the jade in her hand, occasionally smiling.

That cool feeling really made her feel comfortable.

Chen Chang'an nodded and said:

"It can be considered a gemstone. I happened to come across it a few days ago and thought the quality was pretty good."

"You happen to be lacking an accessory, so I'm giving it to you."

"Wear it when you have nothing to do, maybe it will bring you some good luck."

"Oh."

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Mao Ruxue's hopeful expression instantly disappeared, and she let out a disappointed sigh.

She had thought that this was a legendary gem with a lineage engraved on it, or the kind of gem with special abilities.

But it turned out to be just a stone that Senior Brother happened to come across.

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

However, despite feeling disappointed, Mao Ruxue still accepted the jade.

She knew what was happening on the mountain.

In this situation, it was already quite rare for Senior Brother to give her such a beautiful stone.

How could she ask for more?

Moreover, this stone was really beautiful.

Judging from its appearance, Senior Brother must have searched for a long time by the river in the back mountain to find it.

She couldn't let Senior Brother's kindness go to waste.

With these thoughts in mind, Mao Ruxue's expression gradually became happier.

However, beneath this happiness, there was still a hint of melancholy hidden in her eyes.

What Mao Ruxue didn't know was that this jade was not just something randomly picked up by the river, but the "Heavenly Pool Warm Jade" given to her by the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion's master.

In front of everything in the world, it was simply insignificant.

But since the jade was of no use to Chen Chang'an, he casually gave it to her.

After explaining the matter of "guarding the house" to Mao Ruxue, Chen Chang'an left Hidden Dao Mountain and went down the mountain.

After leaving Hidden Dao Mountain, he found a secluded corner and put on his mask.

Then, he traversed through space and directly arrived at the Hall of Rebirth.

"Master."

When Chen Chang'an's figure appeared in the Hall of Rebirth, Black and White Impermanence were already waiting there.

Both of them respectfully bowed.

Behind them stood four tall Yakshas.

The four Yakshas were tall and fierce, with green faces and fangs, exuding a violent aura.

In the middle of the four towering Yakshas, there was a black sedan chair.

In front of everyone, a spatial crack had been opened.

The spatial crack stood above the Hall of Rebirth, emitting a dark light.

"Alright, let's go."

Chen Chang'an nodded and didn't say much.

He took a step forward and walked into the black sedan chair.

"Set off!"

After Chen Chang'an sat in the sedan chair, both Black and White Impermanence shouted.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

Then, the four Yakshas each lifted a corner of the black sedan chair and lifted it up.

Afterward, they swiftly rose into the air, flying towards the spatial crack.

Under the lead of Black and White Impermanence, they flew into the spatial crack until they disappeared.

At the same time, on a clear day with a vast blue sea.

Countless cultivators were bustling about.

Each of these cultivators had a strong aura.

Even the weakest among them possessed the Divine Ability of a Three Realm Grand Cultivator.

Their qi was refined, and their aura was profound.

Among these cultivators, they gathered in groups of three or four, with one person leading each group.

This place was none other than the Heavenly Dao Sea, one of the three seas in the Formless World.

The Heavenly Dao Sea's water was always clear and blue, with strands of Dao Rhyme spread throughout.

It was said that in ancient times, this place was one of the origins of all Dao and laws, the cradle where "Venerable" level sects were born.

In the past, numerous "Venerable" level sects emerged from here, reaching up to three Venerables at their peak.

Moreover, every "Venerable" sect that emerged from here had dominated the Formless World for several eras.

The Immortal Dao Venerables and Immortal Dao Lords that emerged from these major sects left behind countless immortal legends that were extremely brilliant throughout the endless years of the Formless World.

Their shadows still existed to this day, shining brightly.

Because of this characteristic, the Heavenly Dao Sea was once known as the Sacred Land where all "Dao" and "laws" in the world originated, and it was worshipped.

Even today, after countless endless years have passed, it still attracts countless cultivators to come on a pilgrimage.

Just to breathe in the essence of this galaxy-filled air, hoping to "ascend on the spot!"

And each "Hundred Sects Convention" is held here.
