Reading Is Holy! Exposed By My Junior Sister!

"Senior brother, aren't you going to do it?"

In the next moment, Mao Ruxue voiced her confusion.

"No."

Facing Mao Ruxue's question, Chen Chang'an shook his head.

"The reason why the mountain gate has this Spirit Field is not only for the disciples to cultivate their hearts, but also as a benefit for new disciples."

"Sister, I haven't had anything to give you in all these years on the mountain, so I'm giving you all these Spirit Fields."

"Besides, these Spirit Fields will eventually be handed over to you. Whether it's now or in the future, there's not much difference, so I might as well give them all to you."

"Huh? All for me?"

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Mao Ruxue was immediately dumbfounded. Because according to her senior brother's words, it seemed like there was a sense of entrusting her with a heavy responsibility?

"Senior brother, are you going to pass on the position of mountain master to me?"

In the next moment, Mao Ruxue asked in astonishment. At this moment, she felt a sudden surge of happiness.

Hmm.

Chen Chang'an nodded.

"I can't handle the position of mountain master after all. You are very intelligent and full of enthusiasm in everything you do. You are undoubtedly very suitable for this position of mountain master."

"But, sister, there is a saying that goes, 'A jade is not polished without chipping.' Although I have the idea of passing on the position of mountain master to you now..."

"But you are still too young at the moment and need more tempering."

"Otherwise, even if the disciples on the mountain are convinced, the senior brothers and ancestors in the sect will not be convinced, which is not a good thing for you."

"So..."

"So, senior brother, do you plan to let me hone my skills here?" Mao Ruxue interrupted Chen Chang'an before he could finish his sentence.

At this moment, she was eager to try.

Chen Chang'an nodded:

"Yes, that's what I mean. If you are willing, sister, I won't force this matter."

"No, senior brother, I'm willing. You can rest assured and leave this matter to me."

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Mao Ruxue couldn't refuse. After all, these were hundreds of Spirit Fields!

The Spirit Fields in Hidden Dao Mountain are all of high quality. If they can guarantee stable output, one Spirit Field can generate an average of one Dao Source Stone per year.

If one Spirit Field can produce one Dao Source Stone per year, then conservatively estimating, these hundred-plus Spirit Fields would generate over a hundred Dao Source Stones in income!

If she were to earn this much Dao Source Stones outside, how long would it take!

So, Mao Ruxue immediately nodded in agreement, afraid that Chen Chang'an would change his mind.

"Alright, sister, I'll leave these Spirit Fields to you."

Seeing Mao Ruxue agree to this matter, Chen Chang'an stopped teasing her. After explaining some planting matters and rules of the Spirit Fields to Mao Ruxue, Chen Chang'an returned to the mountain.

"Hey, kid, I found that you're a bit unscrupulous."

"You just wanted to be lazy, but you made up such a noble reason."

"Don't you feel guilty for deceiving a little girl like that?"

Upon arriving at the mountain, Kidney Deficiency Zi revealed his figure and sneered at Chen Chang'an's actions.

"Why should my conscience hurt when I'm giving away what I earned with my own abilities?" Chen Chang'an remained calm and answered leisurely.

"Or are you planning to go down and help that little girl?"

"Uh, forget it."

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Kidney Deficiency Zi shook his head.

"My heart has been unbreakable for years. There's no need for me to do things like farming and cultivating the heart."

After finally coming out of that desolate space, isn't it nice to spend every day on the mountain, tending to flowers and enjoying life?

He's not a masochist, why would he bother with those damn Spirit Fields?

"Yeah, isn't it nice to spend every day on the mountain, taking care of flowers and enjoying the moon? It's not like I'm a masochist, why do I have to go and cultivate that Spirit Field thing."

At that moment, Chen Chang'an spoke directly.

His words were essentially a response to the question Kidney Deficiency had asked him at the beginning.

Most importantly, this sentence was exactly what Kidney Deficiency had just thought in his mind.

"What the hell! Kid, can you hear my thoughts?!"

Without exception, upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Kidney Deficiency was shocked!

"Old man, if you can know some of my thoughts, isn't it normal for me to hear your thoughts?" Chen Chang'an rolled his eyes at Kidney Deficiency.

The contracts in this world are really interesting.

Chen Chang'an discovered that when there is a disparity in cultivation between the two beings who have signed a contract, one party's thoughts are easily eavesdropped by the other.

Generally speaking, it is the one with higher cultivation who can eavesdrop on the thoughts of the one with lower cultivation.

Of course, that is in the case of an equal contract.

If it is a slave contract, then only the master can hear the thoughts of the contract beast, and not the other way around.

For example, Chen Chang'an and Kidney Deficiency, the contract they signed was a slave contract.

In the past, because Chen Chang'an's cultivation was much lower than Kidney Deficiency's, he could hardly eavesdrop on Kidney Deficiency's thoughts.

Sometimes, he would even be guessed at by Kidney Deficiency.

There's nothing he could do, the disparity in cultivation is so great, it's unavoidable.

But now, as he stepped onto the path of the Six Paths and his position as a Great Heavenly Venerable became more solid, Chen Chang'an found that the unequal relationship between him and Kidney Deficiency was gradually dissipating.

In many cases, he could already vaguely capture some of the things Kidney Deficiency was thinking, sometimes even very clear words, just like now.

However, what shocked Chen Chang'an was that even though he had already achieved the status of a Great Heavenly Venerable and possessed the Six Paths, he couldn't see Kidney Deficiency's true form at all!

This is not normal!

You should know that even if there is a disparity in realms, under the constraints of a slave contract, as the master, he should be able to see some things.

But now, he couldn't get any information at all.

What kind of existence was this old man in his prime?

"What's wrong, kid? Why are you suddenly looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?" Kidney Deficiency noticed Chen Chang'an scrutinizing him and asked in confusion.

"It's nothing." Chen Chang'an shook his head.

"I'm just curious about what you experienced back then, to end up in such a state without even a complete body."

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Kidney Deficiency became excited and then sighed, saying:

"Kid, if you ask about other things, I might not be able to answer you, but if you ask about this, I won't be tired."

"You don't know, in that battle back then, the galaxy shattered, time collapsed, heaven and earth cracked, even the earth turned black."

"All ten Innate Holy Spirits participated in the battle, the Primordial Demon perished, and the Holy Spirit Ancient Tree was lost!"

"Even the existence of the Prison-Controlling Divine Elephant could only weep and disintegrate."

At this point, Kidney Deficiency turned his gaze to Chen Chang'an and suddenly asked:

"Kid, do you still remember the woman you saw in the Holy Spirit Ancient Tree last time?"

Chen Chang'an nodded.

"That woman is actually the predecessor of the Holy Spirit Ancient Tree. She gave birth to the living Ancient Tree from the heavens and earth."

"In terms of rank, she is the only one among the ten spirits who can surpass the Prison-Controlling Divine Elephant."

"But, in that battle, she also perished."

"As you can see, the divinity scattered throughout the Great Wilderness now is what she left behind after being severely injured."

"That is the end of the ancient era."

Kidney Deficiency spoke with a sigh, and Chen Chang'an's question seemed to have completely triggered his memories.

Next, he was about to continue speaking.

"Stop, stop, stop! Old man, it seems like you didn't mention anything about yourself at all. If I remember correctly, my previous question was about your experiences, not other people's experiences."

However, before Kidney Deficiency could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Chang'an.

"Kid, can you let me finish first? Don't you understand the importance of respecting the elderly and caring for the young?"

"Furthermore, the entrance of a hero requires setup. Without setup, how can I give you the climax?"

Kidney Deficiency didn't back down and shouted back.

Then, he continued slowly, saying:

"You didn't know back then, that old woman came to me with a breath of air, begging me to release the seal, to reach the pinnacle, and help her complete the counterattack, to save this world."

"You know, I may not have any other strengths, but when it comes to saving the world, I have always been enthusiastic."

"So, I made my entrance."

"At that time, I held a forty-meter-long big chopping knife and killed my way from the south gate to the north gate, the world was in awe."

"Finally, I escorted that old woman into that realm."

"Hey! Hey, hey? Kid, listen to me till the end, don't leave!"

However, as he was speaking, Kidney Deficiency realized something was wrong.

He found that Chen Chang'an, this kid, had actually turned and walked away?

This kid was simply too disrespectful to the elderly!

Unexpectedly, just as Kidney Deficiency caught up and was about to continue chattering, Chen Chang'an, who had originally walked away, turned around and started talking to him.

"Huh? Wait."

"Old man, you said that old woman, she entered another world?"

"What kind of world is that?" Chen Chang'an asked curiously.

"What else could it be? The world where all disasters originate!" Kidney Deficiency said without hesitation.

"Let me tell you, if it weren't for something that delayed me back then, I would have also gone to that world. How about that, impressive, right?"

"What is that world called?" Chen Chang'an asked curiously.

Although Kidney Deficiency lied nine out of ten times, Chen Chang'an felt that this matter might actually be true.

Of course, apart from the bragging.

"I don't know what it's called," Kidney Deficiency shook his head.

"But I heard a creature that came out from there mention it once, it seems to be called Dao Yuan, the Dao Yuan Realm!"

Huh?!

Dao Yuan Realm?!

Upon hearing Kidney Deficiency's words, Chen Chang'an's heart trembled.

"What's wrong? It's just a name, why are you so surprised?"

Seeing Chen Chang'an's reaction, Kidney Deficiency was quite puzzled.

Then he continued, "It is said that it is the world closest to the Dao in the entire universe, where everything in the world can be traced back to."

"But, don't think about this matter for now, until you reach the complete Nine Realms, you don't even have the qualification to look up to that place!"

Kidney Deficiency's words were not polite at all, and naturally, there was also an element of showing off in front of Chen Chang'an.

However, he quickly became discouraged because he found that Chen Chang'an's attention was not on him at all.

On the contrary, he was frowning.

Chen Chang'an was indeed frowning. The three words Dao Yuan Realm might not mean much to Kidney Deficiency, but they meant something to Chen Chang'an.

If he remembered correctly, Mao Ruxue mentioned it briefly during their conversation last time.

She vaguely awakened some scattered fragments of memories, and from those fragments, she discovered that she seemed to come from another world.

And that world was called the Dao Yuan Realm!

Could it be such a coincidence?

Chen Chang'an was immediately amazed.

Later, he looked at Kidney Deficiency and said,

"Old man, I have another question for you. Answer me honestly."

"What's up? Just say it."

Chen Chang'an asked, "I'm curious about the fundamental cause of the calamities triggered in the Primordial Era, the Mythical Era, and the Ancient Era. What is it?"

"What else could it be? It's the world's path to enlightenment."

Kidney Deficiency immediately looked at Chen Chang'an as if he were looking at an idiot. He thought it was something important, but it turned out to be this?

Then, he said,

"Every Heavenly Dao Spirit in each world will face a calamity when they reach perfection. Originally, this kind of calamity was not too difficult, but your world is too extraordinary."

"Once it ascends, it will completely transform and become a world on par with the Origin Dao Realm. Therefore, the calamity it faces is the most terrifying."

"The calamity in the Primordial Era was the most tragic, and it was also the most hopeful one for ascension. Unfortunately, in the end, it failed, and all ten Innate Holy Spirits were wiped out, causing severe damage to the vitality."

"What remains is what you see now."

"The spirit you mentioned is the Spirit of the Heavenly Dao Sea?" Chen Chang'an suddenly remembered the Heavenly Dao Sea.

"According to your terminology, it should be that one," Kidney Deficiency nodded.

So that's how it is.

Hearing Kidney Deficiency's words, Chen Chang'an immediately nodded in understanding.

"By the way, old man, what will happen to the living beings in this world, like us, if we don't resist when the calamity comes?"

"What else can happen? All living beings will perish," Kidney Deficiency shrugged.

Although what he said was a bit cruel, it was indeed the truth.

As long as they were living beings in the Formless World, they had no choice when the Formless World underwent transformation.

Either they would ascend or they would face extinction.

This was a situation where everyone would rise or fall together, and no one could escape.

Resisting would offer a glimmer of hope, but not resisting meant certain death!

This was not a multiple-choice question, but a mandatory task!

Of course, it wasn't all pessimistic; there were also good things.

There were many powerful cultivators who had hidden for countless ages, waiting for this moment!

When the heavens unleashed slaughter, they could also unleash slaughter upon the heavens. At this moment, they would achieve the highest enlightenment!

That woman from before, she definitely succeeded in enlightenment. Kidney Deficiency could guarantee it!

Then, Kidney Deficiency changed the topic and said,

"But let me tell you, kid, you don't need to worry about this."

From the current situation, the next calamity is still far away.

Moreover, judging by your abnormal cultivation speed, I'm afraid that when the calamity arrives, it won't be this world that becomes the calamity, but you becoming the calamity over there."

"You don't need to argue with me, just tell me if there's a possibility!"

After saying this, Kidney Deficiency sighed.

Having lived for endless years, the only person who truly impressed him was the little brat in front of him.

When Kidney Deficiency first met Chen Chang'an, he thought his age was fake.

After all, he was the renowned Yama of the Demon Path and the revered Saint of the Righteous Path. You're telling me this guy is just a child under forty?

Who the hell would believe that?

However, when he secretly examined this kid's bones, he was dumbfounded to find out that this kid was indeed only around forty!

Kidney Deficiency really didn't know what to say.

On the other hand, Chen Chang'an did not respond to Kidney Deficiency's words.

After some more small talk, he went back to his recliner and lay down to read.

As for whether he would become a calamity or not, only he knew.
