Reading Is Holy! Exposed By My Junior Sister!

Chapter 6: Incompetent, I did just come back from a faraway place.

Flowers bloom on both ends, each expressing a different branch.

At the same time, in the sky hundreds of miles away from Hidden Sect, Chen Chang'an was speeding.

With a wave of his hand, the void was torn apart.

And then another piece.

His speed reached its limit.

This wave was a big loss.

Just now, in Hidden Sect's Sutra Pavilion, he only intended to quickly grab the book and leave.

But unexpectedly, as soon as he saw the "Taishang Dao Scripture," his professional habit kicked in.

He sat down and started reading.

This reading lasted for about an hour.

Originally, it wasn't a big deal.

Chen Chang'an thought that even if he stayed there for a day or even two, Hidden Sect wouldn't dare to complain.

But the main thing is, today is Heavenly Water Sect's disciple recruitment ceremony!

If he missed it, it would be a huge loss.

Crack, crack!

Thinking of this, Chen Chang'an accelerated again.

With a lift of his hand.

More voids exploded around him, forming torn passages for him to travel through!

Whoosh, whoosh!

In an instant, the void shattered and broke in the endless space.

From far to near, a thousand miles in an instant.

Dang!

Dang!

Dang!

At the same time.

At Heavenly Water Sect's headquarters, billions of miles away from Chen Chang'an.

Amidst the rising sun and the arrival of purple qi,

The bronze gate on the mountainside suddenly opened.

Then, one by one, the mortal disciples who had passed the assessment recently entered in an orderly manner.

In no time, thousands of disciples had already arrived on the square paved with white jade by the sect.

They were ready to choose their desired mountain and join it for cultivation.

Above the sect's square, a higher Rank One level of steps appeared.

On top of the steps, 108 chairs made of golden silk spirit wood were neatly arranged.

Those were the seats for the thirty-six peak masters and seventy-two mountain masters of Heavenly Water Sect!

At this moment.

The peak masters were already seated on the chairs.

Each of them exuded a strong aura, with Dao principles evolving around them, extraordinary and profound.

These were all cultivators of at least the third or fourth realm, or Law Manifestation!

Especially those mountain masters who had reached the fourth realm of Law Manifestation.

The Law Manifestation behind them was overwhelming.

Sitting there, they seemed to merge with the world behind them.

Ancient and terrifying!

At this moment, everyone sat obediently in their seats, waiting for the sect's ceremony to begin.

However, it seemed that not everyone was following the rules.

On this seat that should have been filled, there was an inexplicable vacancy on the left side.

In this crowded seat, this empty spot was particularly conspicuous.

Seeing this vacant seat, Heavenly Water Sect's sect master, Li Daoran, couldn't help but frown.

The other mountain masters also glanced in this direction, whispering to each other, their thoughts varying.

However, no one spoke, but rather quietly waited for the ceremony to begin.

Soon.

Dang!

Dang, dang!

The resounding sound of the grand bell rang from the top of the sect's main hall, echoing in the hearts of everyone.

It was time for the disciple recruitment ceremony.

Nine o'clock in the morning, when the vitality rises, it is most suitable for such a significant event as the disciple recruitment ceremony.

Seeing this, the sect master of Heavenly Water Sect took a step forward, ready to announce the start of the ceremony.

"Um, excuse me, everyone. Am I late? The ceremony hasn't started yet, right?"

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.

The voice was somewhat urgent, as if it had traveled a long distance.

Immediately after, a Daoist figure rushed in, panting heavily.

The person who came was none other than Chen Chang'an, who had just returned from the Hidden Sect.

Upon seeing Chen Chang'an, Li Daoran glanced at him and furrowed his brows.

However, he didn't say anything.

Although Chen Chang'an arrived late, he made it in time for the final moment, so there wasn't a big problem.

Then, Li Daoran ignored Chen Chang'an and took a step forward to deliver the opening speech of the ceremony.

On the other side, Chen Chang'an finally took his seat.

But before he could catch his breath, a young man in a green robe sitting next to him spoke.

"Oh, isn't this our Chief Chen? Did you just run up from the foot of the mountain, Chief Chen?"

The Chief of Qingdao Mountain, Liu Weicheng.

The main square of the Heavenly Water Sect was located on the peak of Heavenly Water Peak.

As the name suggests, Heavenly Water Peak is almost as high as the sky, with a spring flowing down from the peak.

In short, Heavenly Water Peak is very high.

For those with cultivation, climbing up from the foot of the mountain might not be a big deal.

Cultivators above the Third Realm could even fly up on their swords.

But for someone without cultivation, climbing from the foot of the mountain to the top would be impossible without risking their lives three times over.

The meaning behind Liu Weicheng's words was to mock Chen Chang'an for not having cultivation.

Even climbing a mountain required him to do it step by step.

"No trouble at all, Chief Liu. I did just come from a faraway place, so I'm a bit tired."

"No need to apologize, Chief Liu. Please forgive any rudeness."

In response to Liu Weicheng's words, Chen Chang'an smiled and replied.

He didn't refute Liu Weicheng's words.

Because, in a sense,

He really did run all the way here.

Just that Liu Weicheng got one thing wrong.

The starting point of his run wasn't from the foot of the mountain, but from the faraway Northern Region.

A journey of billions of miles is indeed quite far.

Even for someone who has reached the Eighth Realm,

It's not an easy task to complete it in a short time.

And this was the result of him constantly using spatial rifts!

If it were anyone below the Eighth Realm, they might spend their whole life just on this stretch of road.

So, it's true that he's tired!

"Oh, Chief Chen is indeed diligent."

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's reply, Liu Weicheng raised his eyebrows, stroked his beard, and said with a hint of regret,

"I just regret not knowing that Chief Chen was coming for the disciple recruitment ceremony."

"If I had known, I would have waited for Chief Chen at the Low Grade Mountain and brought you up together, so you wouldn't have to climb the mountain so laboriously and suffer."

"Yes, yes, yes, that's right, Chief Chang'an should have informed us when he was coming up the mountain, so that we could have given you a ride."

After Liu Weicheng finished speaking, several other mountain chiefs chimed in.

Since its establishment, the Hidden Dao Mountain of this generation of Heavenly Water Sect has been the most peculiar among all the generations of mountain chiefs.

They actually made someone without any cultivation become the mountain chief.

This is simply ridiculous.

But ridiculous as it may be, it is still a fact.

That's just how it is.

"In that case, I have to thank my senior brothers for their kindness."

Chen Chang'an saw through the meaning behind everyone's teasing and then quietly sat down in his seat.

He began to contemplate his strategy for recruiting disciples.

Seeing Chen Chang'an like this, the other mountain chiefs also shifted their gaze away from him.

After all, teasing Chen Chang'an can be done later if they miss the opportunity to snatch disciples.

"Alright, my speech ends here."

"Next, I announce the start of the 39th generation disciple recruitment assembly of our sect."

"Please come forward, disciples, and receive this report on the various peaks of the Heavenly Water Sect."

"Then, choose the peak you desire."

Just then, on the high platform, Li Daoran finished his speech.

Afterward, he had someone distribute a small white notebook to each prospective disciple.
