Reading Is Holy! Exposed By My Junior Sister!

Chapter 88: Returning to the Origin, True Phoenix Emerges!

At the same time, Hidden Dao Mountain, Chen Chang'an has returned.

That's right, what he said about having something important to do with Hei Wuchang and the others was all nonsense.

He simply didn't want to stay in the Undying Volcano.

After returning to the mountain, Chen Chang'an went to the Sutra Pavilion.

"Disperse~!"

First, he waved his hand to cancel the virtual body he had left behind, then he entered the interior of the Sutra Pavilion.

The Sutra Pavilion on Hidden Dao Mountain used to be the Sutra Pavilion of the entire Heavenly Water Sect, so it was quite spacious.

Apart from the few rooms that Chen Chang'an usually slept and lived in, there were also many other rooms.

At this moment, Chen Chang'an entered the room furthest to the right.

"Squeak~!"

Arriving at the door, Chen Chang'an pushed it open and entered the room.

However, after entering the room, there was nothing inside.

But Chen Chang'an didn't feel surprised, as if he had done this intentionally.

The next moment, he came to the front of a wall in the room.

"Heaven and Earth are true, open!"

He lightly shouted, then...

Buzz~!

A qi surged out from him and acted on the wall.

Then, the next moment...

Crack, crack, crack, crack~

Only the sound of 'crack' could be heard, and the originally smooth and white wall suddenly opened a hidden door.

Inside the hidden door, as soon as the door was opened, the lights in the corridor automatically turned on.

These lights were not ordinary lights, but a kind of light emitted by a type of creature called 'Halo'.

Halo creatures, their entire lives are filled with light.

For them, every lamp is their home.

And as long as the lamp doesn't go out, their lifespan is almost eternal.

In theory, as long as the lamp doesn't go out, they will exist forever, even for eternity.

Therefore, in the Formless World, whether it's the secret realm of a major sect, the tomb of a powerful individual, or a high-level secret room, the lights used inside are all lamps occupied by this Halo clan.

The reason why Chen Chang'an's room also uses this kind of lamp is naturally not because it is a secret realm or a tomb.

It's simply because he finds it more convenient.

After the hidden door opened, Chen Chang'an walked inside.

After passing through a not-so-long corridor, he arrived at a spacious place.

Only to see that this place was like a library.

Here, there were dozens of rows of bookshelves.

Each row of bookshelves had ten shelves.

In total, there were more than a hundred shelves.

And on each shelf, there were neatly arranged books.

From far to near.

Tens of thousands of books were all here.

These books were not ordinary books, but the ones Chen Chang'an had read over the years and obtained Divine Abilities from.

The books were classified according to the different types of Divine Abilities Chen Chang'an obtained.

For example, one of them was called "Killing Path", which was a book on obtaining the Divine Ability of the demonic path, and it was placed on the bookshelf labeled "Divine Ability of the Demonic Path".

In addition to classifying them according to Divine Abilities, Chen Chang'an also classified the higher-level Divine Abilities, that is, Divine Abilities above the level of the Six Realms, according to the level of obtaining the Divine Ability.

Such as the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Three Thousand Buddhist Kingdoms, and so on.

After arriving here, Chen Chang'an took out the "Taishang Flower Scripture" from his body.

He then placed it on the shelf representing the 'Eight Realms' Divine Ability.

At this moment, there are already five books gathered here, including the "Taishang Flower Scripture".

This also means that Chen Chang'an now has a total of five types of Divine Abilities in the Eight Realms.

However, even though he has mastered five types of Divine Abilities in the Eight Realms,

He still has no clue about the path to the Ninth Realm.

In this world, the Ninth Realm is an extraordinary existence.

Breaking through it is probably not that easy.

But, as the saying goes, "Reading a book a hundred times reveals its meaning."

Chen Chang'an has a hunch.

The opportunity for him to break through the Ninth Realm is most likely among these books.

Moreover, it seems that his path is related to the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Of course, this is just his speculation, and whether it is accurate or not is unknown.

After putting back the "Taishang Flower Scripture", Chen Chang'an walked to the corner that marked the 'First Realm Divine Ability Area'.

He found a book on the shelf and started reading it on the spot.

These books may not produce high-level Divine Abilities, but that doesn't mean their content is poor.

On the contrary, most of these books have very good content.

Such as "Tianming Wangqi Lu," "Jun Xing," "Fuzi," "Jiaguo," "Rusheng," "Shi," "Fushi," "Fuyu," and a series of small works that explain the natural laws of the world or small stories in human society.

They don't talk about cultivation methods, only about the natural laws of the world and the common principles of human relationships.

In this era of soaring cultivation, the natural laws of the world and the common principles of human relationships have long been abandoned by countless people.

But in Chen Chang'an's view, many times, these latter things are actually more important than the former.

After all, the latter is the foundation that makes this world so brilliant.

And now, Chen Chang'an picked up the book "Fuzi".

Chen Chang'an doesn't like reading in a secret room, so after getting the book "Fuzi", he went out.

However, on his way out, he also took several other books, such as "Rusheng," "Jun Xing," "Shi," and "Jiaguo," which were also placed in the First Realm Divine Ability Area.

After returning to the courtyard, Chen Chang'an took out a recliner and leaned on it, slowly reading the books.

["Family education is still small, national education is much more important. If the family loses the country, then the family is also lost."]

["Three feet of life, a short hundred years. When the wind blows, express the meaning of life, don't let the golden goblet face an empty moon."]

["The way to be good to others is true goodness. See the beauty in others, like high mountains and flowing water."]

["Miss, please don't make fun of me. Although your family is good, with luxurious clothes and food, a worry-free life, the pursuit of knowledge is not something that wealth and status can cover. I want to ride the wind and return, even if it's in a magnificent palace."]

The first book Chen Chang'an read was "Jun Xing".

He flipped through it one by one.

The book records a total of sixteen protagonists.

And each protagonist is either a famous Confucian sage or a virtuous gentleman well-known in the Formless World.

Or they are well-known for their gentle and refined manners.

Of course, most of the stories in here were later fabricated by the people.

Their authenticity cannot be verified.

However, Chen Chang'an doesn't care.

He's just reading, as long as he enjoys it.

Why bother caring about what's true or false?

Time passes quickly.

In Chen Chang'an's immersion, days go by one after another.

In the blink of an eye, it's already the fifteenth day since he returned from the Undying Mountain.

On this day, Chen Chang'an was lying in the courtyard as usual, idly reading a book, when suddenly, there was a violent shaking in the formation outside.

The momentum of the vibration was so great that Chen Chang'an couldn't concentrate on reading.

Immediately, Chen Chang'an wanted to curse and find out who was so shameless to cause such a disturbance!

However, just as the words were about to come out, Chen Chang'an suddenly stopped.

Because he seemed to have thought of something about the Undying Mountain.

In the next moment, he waved his hand and closed the Confucian Formation on the mountain.

As soon as the Confucian Formation was closed, the scenery outside immediately appeared before his eyes.

Chen Chang'an took the opportunity to stick his head out and take a look.

At this moment, in the northern sky of the Heavenly Water Sect, a large number of black clouds suddenly gathered, without knowing when.

Within the black clouds, violent thunder and lightning raged endlessly.

And from time to time, one after another lightning bolts struck down.

Every time a lightning bolt struck, it would create a huge hole in the sky and earth.

And Chen Chang'an had just felt the earth-shattering tremor caused by it.

Seeing this scene, Chen Chang'an's mouth twitched.

It was confirmed that he had caused this!

No wonder, where the lightning struck was where the Undying Mountain was located.

Damn it, if he had known this, he would have shot the altar to a farther place.

Shaking his head, Chen Chang'an suddenly felt helpless.

In the midst of these tremors that felt like earthquakes, it was impossible to calm down and read a book.

And judging from the current state of the Undying Mountain, Mao Ruxue's trial should also be at a critical moment, and he couldn't continue to be idle.

So, he was really confused.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Suddenly, just as Chen Chang'an was confused, several whooshing sounds came from the sky.

Looking up, he was surprised to find that several disciples were flying on their swords.

The leader was none other than Li Daoran's senior disciple, Wang Tingfei.

"Disciple Wang Tingfei, pay respects to Senior Chen," he said respectfully.

"Disciple Zhang Liang, pay respects to Senior Chen."

"Disciple Wang Daozhen, pay respects to Senior Chen."

After the three of them arrived, Wang Tingfei and the others put away their long swords and respectfully saluted Chen Chang'an.

"Senior Wang, what brings you here?" Chen Chang'an was puzzled, not understanding why these three people came to find him at this time.

Could it be that Dao Tian, that old man, couldn't handle it anymore?

Wang Tingfei respectfully said, "Reporting to Senior, just now, in the direction of the Undying Mountain to the north, there was a sudden violent earth-shattering explosion."

"It caused a strong earth dragon to stir, accompanied by a powerful thunderous roar."

"The situation is so terrifying that it has completely affected many areas of our sect."

"In order to figure out what happened, our master has already gone ahead."

"Before leaving, our master was afraid that something major might happen."

"So he asked me to wait here for you, and if you finish your seclusion, please come down the mountain with me."

Upon hearing Wang Tingfei's words, Chen Chang'an couldn't help but twitch his mouth again.

In the end, he was the one who had to bear the blame!

"Alright, let's go."

Since he couldn't avoid it, Chen Chang'an didn't plan to continue hiding. He nodded and agreed to this matter.

Then, he waved his hand and led Wang Tingfei and the others towards the direction of the Undying Mountain.

Chen Chang'an traveled at the speed of a Grand Confucian of the Sixth Realm, so when they arrived at the Undying Mountain, Li Daoran and his group had just arrived not long ago.

Not only Li Daoran's group, but also a large group of people had gathered outside the Undying Mountain at this moment.

Without exception, almost all of them were sects or forces from the area of the Nether Sea.

There was such a big commotion at Mount Undying, and they were also very worried.

"Junior Brother Chen, have you finished your seclusion?"

Seeing Chen Chang'an appear, Li Daoran and the others immediately walked over happily and asked.

"I have finished." Chen Chang'an nodded.

Can I tell you that I didn't even go into seclusion at all?

"Master."

At this time, after seeing Li Daoran and the others coming over, Wang Tingfei and the three of them quickly bowed.

Li Daoran nodded, and then said to the three of them:

"Alright, Tingfei, you guys can go down first. We have something to discuss with your Senior Uncle Chen."

"Yes, Master." Wang Tingfei and the others nodded and then bowed before leaving.

"Senior Brother Sect Master, what is the situation here now?"

After Wang Tingfei and the others left, Chen Chang'an looked at Mount Undying in the distance and asked Li Daoran and the others.

At this moment, Mount Undying seemed to have triggered some kind of taboo, and the entire area was enveloped in a terrifying and eerie black barrier.

And within this black barrier, there were occasional terrifying thunderous sounds.

The sky was also filled with dark clouds, with lightning flashing.

Everything seemed like a great terror was descending!

"Ah, Junior Brother, the situation is very complicated."

Li Daoran sighed.

Then he said:

"We arrived here a little earlier than you did."

"When we first arrived, I had a discussion with the Sect Masters of Qingniu Sect and Tianyin Sect."

"Among them, the Sect Master of Tianyin Sect, Zhang Tianlaodao, revealed some useful information."

"He said that the reason why Mount Undying is now in such a commotion is because Emperor Song of the Hall of Rebirth is conducting the Heavenly Tribulation for a Yin Division."

"Oh? The Heavenly Tribulation?"

Hearing Li Daoran's words, Chen Chang'an pretended to be surprised and asked:

"Senior Brother Sect Master, is it the one that Emperor Song used for the current Black and White Impermanence a few years ago?"

"Yes, it is the Transcending Tribulation of Heavenly Might." Li Daoran nodded.

"And, according to reliable information, the person chosen by Emperor Song for this Heavenly Tribulation is none other than the [Ksitigarbha] who was appointed just a few months ago!"

Speaking up to this point, a bitter expression appeared on Li Daoran's face.

Ksitigarbha is becoming stronger, which is not good news for the Heavenly Water Sect!

"Oh, I see." Chen Chang'an nodded.

Then, the group continued to wait here.

As the waiting time increased, more and more people arrived at the scene.

Not only the sects of the Underworld Sea generation came, but even some sects that were relatively far away, separated by several domains, also sent people.

All the people who came were at least fifth realm cultivators who had cultivated the five organs in their bodies.

Among them, the Sword Master who was stationed at the Undying Sword City of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect also appeared.

He held an immortal sword and came forcefully to the sky at one end of Mount Undying.

Then he focused his gaze on everything at Mount Undying.

He also saw Chen Chang'an and the others, but he didn't show any intention to attack.

No one at the scene found this scene strange.

In Mount Undying, it would be strange if that Sword Master dared to make a move!

You should know that this place is Emperor Song's territory now!

Dare to make a move in front of Emperor Song?

Even if he is the Sword Master, he probably has to weigh the consequences, even if the Sword Pavilion's Sword Ancestor personally comes.
