Reading Is Holy! Exposed By My Junior Sister!

Chapter 11: New Ksitigarbha, Mao Ruxue???

Withdrawing his divine consciousness from Mao Ruxue, Chen Chang'an continued to flip through the book in his hand.

"The Dao Ancestor walks in Hangu Pass, riding a green ox. The sound of the ox's cry moistens the mountains and rivers, and the ground it treads upon turns fertile."

"Therefore, it is said that the abilities of the Dao Ancestor can reach the heavens and penetrate the earth."

The "Taishang Dao Scripture" is different from the "Taishang Flower Scripture".

The "Taishang Flower Scripture" is a book that describes the language of immortals and gods.

The "Taishang Dao Scripture" records the legends left behind by the Dao Ancestor in the mortal world.

Whether the contents recorded are true or not is another matter, but the rhythm of the stories is worth reading.

Therefore, Chen Chang'an read this book very slowly and meticulously.

Slowing down allows one to understand the deeper meaning.

In fact, it's not just the "Taishang Dao Scripture," Chen Chang'an has read all the previous books in great detail.

For the current Chen Chang'an, reading these scriptures is no longer just for the sake of Divine Ability.

He has started to learn to read because he enjoys reading.

Reading a book is like savoring the flavors of life.

The more books one reads, the more aspects of life one experiences, and one's own life becomes more meaningful.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the tenth day since Mao Ruxue arrived at Hidden Dao Mountain.

During these ten days, besides practicing in the morning as usual, Mao Ruxue would also appear in the Sutra Pavilion on the back mountain every morning to greet Chen Chang'an.

This was unexpected for Chen Chang'an, but he didn't refuse.

It was a good thing to have a junior sister come to greet him. It was much better than being alone here every day.

In addition, Mao Ruxue also took care of everything on Hidden Dao Mountain.

Pulling out weeds, cultivating medicinal gardens, repairing houses.

She was busy and covered in dirt every day.

Chen Chang'an didn't stop her when he saw this.

Let her have her fun. Strictly speaking, this mountain would be her place to live in the future.

Fortunately, although Hidden Dao Mountain has declined, Heavenly Water Sect has not reduced its facilities.

So it could withstand Mao Ruxue's activities.

Otherwise, she would probably have to eat dirt on her first day here.

This kind of life continued for ten days, and Chen Chang'an gradually became familiar with having one more person on the mountain.

However, on the eleventh day, something changed.

Mao Ruxue didn't come to greet him in the morning, and when he scanned the mountain with his divine consciousness, he couldn't find her trace.

And she didn't appear in the following days either.

But he heard from the disciples guarding the sect that she had used the teleportation array at the foot of the mountain to leave.

Upon hearing this news, Chen Chang'an didn't pay much attention to it. He thought that the girl had probably gone out.

As for whether Mao Ruxue had been abducted, Chen Chang'an had no worries at all.

Although Hidden Dao Mountain may not look impressive, he had already set up several seventh-level formations inside and outside.

Without his permission, not to mention ordinary people, even an Eight Realm Eternal Emperor wouldn't be able to enter easily.

So this possibility didn't exist.

With that in mind, Chen Chang'an continued to pick up the book and read.

In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed. He had already read the "Taishang Dao Scripture" twice.

But unfortunately, he didn't gain anything from these two readings.

He did gain two layers of Divine Ability, which were related to the "Taishang Dao Scripture," but they were only at the fourth level.

They were not the Celestial Demon Dao Scripture he wanted.

However, Chen Chang'an was not in a hurry. He took it slowly and believed that he would eventually obtain it.

"Huh? Someone is looking for me?"

Just then, Chen Chang'an frowned suddenly.

Because just now, he suddenly felt a movement in his mind.

Someone was calling him.

In the current situation, in this world, the only three people who could call him in this way were [City God], [Black and White Impermanence].

With that in mind, Chen Chang'an didn't hesitate. He put the book in the space and put on the bronze mask.

In the next moment, he reached out and made a gesture in the void, then stepped directly into it.

When he appeared again, he had arrived at Emperor Song Hall.

"Greetings, Your Excellency."

At this moment, there were four people standing in Emperor Song Hall.

Each person wore a mask, either a bronze mask or a gold and silver mask.

These masks were distributed by the Hall of Rebirth.

They all had one characteristic in common: they made it impossible for others to see the wearer's face.

Only cultivators of the seventh or eighth realm could use their divine sense to probe the true appearance beneath the mask.

The four people in the hall were none other than the City God, Black Impermanence, White Impermanence from the Underworld, and an unfamiliar person.

However, Chen Chang'an had never seen the last person, Chen Chang'an.

"What brings you here, Black Impermanence?"

After scanning the four people with his eyes, Chen Chang'an asked.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, you asked us some time ago to find someone to replace the previous Ksitigarbha, and we have found one."

"This is the person we have decided on after discussing among ourselves, the chosen Ksitigarbha," Black Impermanence stepped forward and said.

"Oh? Is he the new Ksitigarbha?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Chang'an curiously looked at this so-called Ksitigarbha.

Under the black robe, his hands were placed in front of him, appearing calm and composed.

But Chen Chang'an could sense that this person was obviously a bit nervous.

"Yes, Your Excellency, this person is the one we have chosen as Ksitigarbha."

"Your Excellency, you may have heard of him before."

"He is the outstanding Soul Reaper who recently joined our hall."

"In the assessment of all the subordinates in the Underworld, he had the best results, and all the conditions meet your initial requirements for trusting the Ksitigarbha."

"So we brought him here to meet you."

"As for whether he can obtain the position of Ksitigarbha, it is up to Your Excellency to decide."

After speaking, Black Impermanence respectfully bowed to Chen Chang'an and stepped aside.

"I see."

After listening to Black Impermanence's words, Chen Chang'an nodded.

Indeed, he had entrusted the matter of selecting the Ksitigarbha to them, and considering the time, it was now the moment for Black Impermanence and the others to present their results.

Thinking of this, Chen Chang'an released his divine sense to observe this so-called new 'Ksitigarbha'.

However, when he saw the face beneath the mask, Chen Chang'an was completely dumbfounded.

Mao Ruxue?!

Damn it! How could it be this girl?!

Because the face beneath the mask was clearly his junior sister, Mao Ruxue, whom he had just recently brought up the mountain!

Chen Chang'an didn't think he could be mistaken.

Mao Ruxue's face was truly too recognizable!

"Black Impermanence, are you sure this Ksitigarbha used to be our Soul Reaper in the hall?" Chen Chang'an looked at Black Impermanence and asked.

Under normal circumstances, if the City God was asked like this by Emperor Song, he would probably have already knelt down.

But Black Impermanence didn't.

Instead, he respectfully clasped his hands and replied, "Reporting to Your Excellency, yes, this Soul Reaper used to serve under my younger sister and performed well."

"What's wrong, Your Excellency? Is there a problem?"

Seeing Black Impermanence's normal response to Chen Chang'an's question, the City God beside him couldn't help but feel envy in his eyes.

But he understood that this was something he couldn't envy.

Black Impermanence wasn't intimidated by Emperor Song's aura, not because he wasn't afraid of Emperor Song.

It was because he wasn't afraid of Emperor Song's punishment.

It was different for him, a latecomer to this position.

Black Impermanence and his sister were truly Emperor Song's direct line.

Their lives were saved by Emperor Song, and their positions were promoted by Emperor Song. Their cultivation was also taught by Emperor Song from scratch.

In a sense, they were Emperor Song's direct line and true disciples.

If Emperor Song wanted them dead, they would probably go without hesitation.

If they could go to their deaths without hesitation, then naturally there was no fear.
