Reading Is Holy! Exposed By My Junior Sister!

"This girl."

While Xian Yurong was immersed in her cultivation, Chen Chang'an did not sleep. Instead, he scanned Xian Yurong's room with his divine sense, lost in thought.

"You really don't care, kid?" Kidney Deficiency suddenly burst out, asking in confusion.

"I have to admire your audacity, kid. You dare to leave that woman here."

"What can she do by staying here? Can she really harm me?" Upon hearing Kidney Deficiency's words, Chen Chang'an smiled faintly.

Uh!

Seeing Chen Chang'an's smile, Kidney Deficiency quickly choked, because he suddenly remembered that the person in front of him was a terrifying guy.

Indeed, he was so scared by that woman that he almost forgot about the essence of the matter.

"Huh? What is this? Why did my mask suddenly change?"

At the same time, in another attic, Mao Ruxue, who had just returned to her room, exclaimed in surprise.

It was because she found that her mask had changed from black to silver, and there were several smooth silver threads curling up above the mask.

This didn't look like a mask that Hall of Rebirth would have, but rather like a mask used by wealthy women as an accessory.

"What is this?! Emperor Song upgraded me?!"

When she picked up the mask and looked at it, Mao Ruxue was shocked.

She didn't know about other places, but in Hall of Rebirth, masks had significant meaning. The original meaning of the mask was not to hide one's identity, but to symbolize one's status.

In Hall of Rebirth, the higher the level of a person, the higher level mask they could obtain. Her black mask, although considered high level in Hall of Rebirth, still had some distance from the highest level.

But this silver mask, with its specially crafted design, represented the highest position.

Mao Ruxue didn't know if it was the highest position in the main hall of Hall of Rebirth, but in Emperor Song's palace, it was the highest!

This was a change in status, unrelated to position!

When she had just become a Ksitigarbha, although she was also in the Great Underworld, compared to City God, Lesser Lord of Fate, and others who were in the four halls of the Great Underworld, she was still a bit inferior.

But now, there was no such gap.

This was definitely something shocking.

"However, why did Emperor Song suddenly upgrade me?"

After the shock came confusion.

Mao Ruxue couldn't understand why she had easily gained recognition from Emperor Song, her immediate superior, when she hadn't done anything significant during this period of time. It was truly baffling.

"Could it be because of the position of the Human Realm Dao Lord?"

Suddenly, Mao Ruxue remembered something in her heart, which was the upcoming appointment of the Human Realm Dao Lord in a few days.

The position of Human Realm Dao Lord was appointed by Chen Chang'an when he first achieved the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and the time for her to take up the position was in a few days.

This was also why Mao Ruxue suddenly came to Chen Chang'an and said she wanted to leave the mountain for a while.

"It should be because of this."

After thinking for a while, Mao Ruxue couldn't think of any other reason.

"It seems that I have to do a good job as the Human Realm Dao Lord."

Looking up at the starry sky outside the window, with stars twinkling, Mao Ruxue supported her cheek with one hand and murmured softly.

When she first joined Hall of Rebirth, she didn't think too much about it, just wanting to have Dao Source Stones for cultivation.

But since the incident four years ago when she was taken to see Emperor Song, everything had become uncontrollable.

First, she went from being an inconspicuous little employee to controlling a domain as [Ksitigarbha], then she obtained the "Pure Land Rebirth Sutra" and the "Yin-Yang Secret Manual" given by [Emperor Song], the True Demon Nine Transformations, and even the True King's opportunity.

These things, one by one, can't be said to be many, but they can only be said to be too many.

However, having so many things may not necessarily be a good thing. If it were in the past, Mao Ruxue would definitely have welcomed all of this with joy.

But not now, because her senior brother, who was originally "almost dead," not only hasn't died yet, but has even become a major figure in the righteous path of the world today.

Since ancient times, the Tao and the Demon have followed different paths.

Moreover, the Heavenly Water Sect is so close to the Emperor Song's palace.

In the future, there will definitely be a battle between Senior Brother and [Emperor Song], this is an indisputable fact.

Faced with this situation, Mao Ruxue doesn't know what to do.

"No, I have to quickly improve my strength and share the burden for Senior Brother in the future."

However, in an instant, she knew exactly what she should do.

There's no need to think about it at all. The position in the Hall of Rebirth itself is a kind of concealment, and here in the Heavenly Water Sect is her true identity!

Mao Ruxue felt that her top priority was to use [Emperor Song]'s trust in her to greatly improve her strength. That way, in the future when Senior Brother and [Emperor Song] engage in battle, she will have enough strength to backstab and help Senior Brother win!

Isn't this how an undercover identity is used?

Very well, let's do it like this!

In an instant, Mao Ruxue had a plan in mind.

And all of this starts with the identity of the Human Realm's Dao Master!

"Senior Brother, I'm leaving the mountain."

A night of silence, early the next morning, Mao Ruxue packed up her things and bid farewell to Chen Chang'an.

"Well, Junior Sister, be careful when you leave the mountain and come back early." Chen Chang'an nodded, not paying much attention to Mao Ruxue leaving the mountain.

"Oh, by the way, Xiaoduo seems to be very attached to you recently. If you have time, take it with you."

"Moo~!"

"Moo~!"

As Chen Chang'an's voice fell, a purple figure suddenly rushed down from the mountain.

It was Xiaoduo.

After rushing down, the little guy first rubbed against Chen Chang'an's arms, then flew away and flapped its two big ears, flying around Mao Ruxue.

It seemed to be saying that it really wanted to follow Mao Ruxue outside.

"Senior Brother, what's this?"

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words and seeing Xiaoduo come out, Mao Ruxue hesitated.

It's not that she didn't want to take Xiaoduo out, but she was worried that taking it out would expose her identity.

After all, when she goes out, she won't be walking in the identity of Mao Ruxue, but as [Ksitigarbha].

And Xiaoduo's identity is too eye-catching.

Although it hasn't appeared many times, in the current Formless World, more than half of the people already know that it is Senior Brother's pet.

If she were to take it out, wouldn't that be equivalent to exposing her identity?

"Moo~!"

"Moo moo~!"

However, as if knowing what Mao Ruxue was thinking, in the next moment, Xiaoduo suddenly let out two "moo" sounds.

Then, a sudden burst of white light appeared beside it.

After the white light disappeared, Xiao Duo's body suddenly underwent a transformation.

His originally purple skin had actually turned into the normal color of an elephant, and his two ears had returned to normal as well.

Although he was still floating in mid-air, in this world, a creature that could float was quite common.

"Sister apprentice, look, it really wants to go down the mountain with you," Chen Chang'an smiled slightly.

"Sister apprentice, alright then."

Mao Ruxue could only smile helplessly.

Then, she looked at Xiao Duo and shook her head resignedly, "You little guy, I really can't do anything with you."

Mao Ruxue left, slowly descending the mountain with Xiao Duo. Their departure didn't disturb anyone, not even causing a ripple.

On the mountain, Chen Chang'an continued to eat and drink, and life remained largely unchanged, except for the slight regret of not being able to eat the dishes made by Mao Ruxue, but overall it wasn't a big problem.

Dang dang dang!

On this day, on the main peak of the Heavenly Water Sect, a melodious bell rang. Under the summons of this bell, the peak masters of the various peaks of the Heavenly Water Sect headed towards the main peak, Heavenly Water Peak.

On Hidden Dao Mountain, Chen Chang'an also received the summons, but he didn't really want to go because he had already guessed the general purpose of this gathering.

"Qing Xue, Xiao Yi, the two of you go to the main peak for me."

Chen Chang'an called Lin Qingxue and Chen Yi, and then gave his instructions.

"Yes, Master." Lin Qingxue and Chen Yi didn't understand what Chen Chang'an was up to, but since it was his order, they could only comply.

In no time, Lin Qingxue and Chen Yi arrived at the main hall of the sect. When they arrived, the hall was already crowded with people.

Basically, the peak masters from each peak had come, and occasionally there were a few peak masters who couldn't make it, so the elders of their respective peaks stood in for them.

It was the first time they had seen a situation like this, where disciples were used to fill the numbers, but the people in the hall didn't have any objections to this.

"Senior Brother Sect Master, everyone is here, please speak."

Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, Bai Yunzi said to Li Daoran who was above.

"Good, since all the peaks have arrived, I'll cut to the chase and explain the purpose of this gathering."

Li Daoran nodded, then stepped forward and began to speak about the purpose of summoning the various peaks.

"Everyone, here's the situation. Some time ago, you all know about Emperor Song's ascension."

"So you should also know about Yinsi [Ksitigarbha] becoming the Lord of the Human Realm."

"The position of Lord of the Human Realm is said to be one of the top three positions among the six realms created by Emperor Song, and it is an extremely important position among the six realms."

"According to the news, three days from now, [Ksitigarbha] will open the Human Realm in the Central Earth, and we will be invited to a banquet there."

"And at the banquet, [Ksitigarbha] will directly select the Nine Great Asura Seats and the Nine Great Samantabhadra Seats!"

"Whether it's an Asura Seat or a Samantabhadra Seat, these are positions recognized by the Heavenly Dao, and once they are properly operated, they will have legendary merits bestowed upon them."

"All of you are cultivators, and you should know that if a cultivator has merits bestowed upon them, their cultivation will often be twice as effective, with endless uses, and the chances of encountering bottlenecks will be greatly reduced."

"As a righteous sect, our Heavenly Water Sect naturally doesn't want the Asura Seats, but we still want to compete for the Samantabhadra Seats."

"Therefore, I called all of you here to discuss this matter."

Li Daoran spoke a lot in one breath, and then, after finishing, he looked down at the people below.

"Sect Master, are what you said true?! Are there really Asura Seats and Samantabhadra Seats?!"

However, the people below were obviously more excited than Li Daoran, and they all asked.

"Yes, fellow junior disciples, this matter is indeed true. I have already inquired and confirmed that there are indeed nine Asura positions and nine Universal Virtue positions!" Li Daoran nodded.

"And, if one can obtain any of these eighteen positions, it will enhance their cultivation. I have already confirmed this with Junior Brother Chen, it is true!"

"What?! It's really true?!"

Upon hearing Li Daoran's affirmative words, everyone was surprised.

These positions come from the bestowal of the Great Heavenly Venerable and are a reward mechanism given by the Heavenly Dao to cultivators after they achieve the Great Heavenly Venerable realm.

It has been a long time since anyone in the Formless World has achieved the Great Heavenly Venerable realm, even if there was one recently, it would be Emperor Song.

But Emperor Song belongs to the demonic path. In theory, even if he achieved the Great Heavenly Venerable realm, the opportunities generated would be shared by people from the demonic path, and there would be no involvement from the righteous path.

So it is normal for people to subconsciously not recall such a thing.

"Yes, it is indeed true!" Li Daoran nodded again, then he looked at everyone and said,

"Senior Patriarch and I have already decided to select some junior disciples from the sect to try and see if they can seize one or two opportunities."

Finally, Li Daoran changed his tone and asked,

"I wonder if there are any questions you junior disciples have about this. If so, please feel free to speak."

This?

Hearing Li Daoran's words, the crowd fell into silence. Undoubtedly, this is a great opportunity.

"But, Senior Martial Brother, I have a question."

At this moment, one of the peak masters in the crowd raised his hand.

"Junior Brother Shi, you can ask your question." Li Daoran glanced at the person and asked.

Peak Master Shi clasped his hands and asked,

"Senior Martial Brother, what I want to ask is, as you said, these Universal Virtue positions are something that Emperor Song produced."

"And everyone knows that Emperor Song is from the Hall of Rebirth."

"I want to ask, if we obtain this opportunity, will it make the outside world think that we have some connection with the Hall of Rebirth?"

"Yes, Senior Martial Brother, if we obtain this Universal Virtue position, will it cause us to be entangled with the Hall of Rebirth?"

Peak Master Shi's words immediately resonated with the crowd.

This is understandable, after all, the current Formless World is very sensitive, and the relationship between the righteous and demonic paths is always on the verge of breaking.

In such a situation, if they were to obtain a Universal Virtue position, what would others think?

It wouldn't be justifiable no matter how it is said.

Moreover, if they remember correctly, there is currently a gap between the Heavenly Water Sect and [Emperor Song].

Under these circumstances, it is inappropriate for them to compete for this Universal Virtue position.

Li Daoran explained, "Junior disciples, rest assured. The Universal Virtue position is a Heavenly Dao Fruit position and has nothing to do with factions. Even if we obtain it, the world will not do anything to us."

"And, Junior Brother Chen also agreed to this. His intention is for us to compete without worrying too much."

"I see, Senior Martial Brother, thank you for your explanation." Upon hearing Li Daoran's words, everyone nodded as if they had suddenly understood.

As long as this matter is not related to the Hall of Rebirth, and most importantly, it has Chen Chang'an's approval, there is nothing to worry about.

"So, Senior Martial Brother, what is the purpose of calling us here now?" someone asked again.

"To select disciples to participate." Li Daoran looked into the distance and answered.
