Reading Is Holy! Exposed By My Junior Sister!

Chapter 43: Secret Discussion of the Sect, Li Daoran's Surprise

After a brief thought, Chen Chang'an said to Mao Ruxue, "You should train more in the near future. The sect's grand competition will be in three months."

"If there's anything you don't understand, you can come and ask me."

"I should be on the mountain recently."

"Okay, I understand, senior brother."

Mao Ruxue nodded.

Mao Ruxue still had some uncertainty in her heart regarding Chen Chang'an as her senior brother.

Take, for example, the manuscript Chen Chang'an gave her last time.

Although Chen Chang'an had already said that it was left by the ancestors on the mountain, Mao Ruxue still didn't fully believe it.

After all, she had never heard of such a cultivation method before.

So, Mao Ruxue always accepted Chen Chang'an's offer to ask him if she didn't understand.

Chen Chang'an, however, was unaware of Mao Ruxue's thoughts and went back to the Sutra Pavilion after finishing his meal.

The Hidden Dao Mountain Sutra Pavilion was more like a library than a sutra pavilion.

All the scriptures related to cultivation had long been moved out.

Now, only some books recording miscellaneous matters remained.

It was like an abandoned house, suitable for disciplining disciples.

Over the years, Chen Chang'an had opportunities to leave the Sutra Pavilion.

But he gave up on them later.

The abandonment of the Sutra Pavilion also meant tranquility.

And he loved tranquility the most.

In the following days, Chen Chang'an returned to his usual life.

He would read books in the morning, take a nap on the sun lounger in the afternoon.

Sometimes, a nap would last the whole day, and sometimes, if he woke up early, he would take a leisurely walk in the mountains.

Occasionally, when he had free time, he would play chess with Mao Ruxue. Life was filled with a little bit of joy.

As for guiding Mao Ruxue's cultivation, Chen Chang'an didn't need to worry about it anymore.

With the manuscript he gave her, whether he guided her or not was no longer important.

Time passed by, and in the blink of an eye, two months had gone by.

Chen Chang'an had already read the "Taishang Flower Scripture" more than ninety times.

The originally neat and clean scrolls were now yellowed and curled.

After reading it more than ninety times, Chen Chang'an gained twelve Divine Abilities.

But they were all minor Divine Abilities.

Although these Divine Abilities had some magical effects, they were not of much use to him now.

The eighth level of the "Celestial Demon Dao Scripture" had not been unlocked yet, but it was nearing its end.

Chen Chang'an had a feeling that it would be unlocked in a few days at most.

This morning, Chen Chang'an didn't read as usual. Instead, he tidied everything up early and waited for Mao Ruxue at the door.

Because today was the day Mao Ruxue set off to the main peak to receive the "Innate Knowledge Teachings."

The "Innate Knowledge Teachings" was a course that covered a wide range of topics, and Chen Chang'an didn't want Mao Ruxue to miss it.

Mao Ruxue also knew what day it was today, so she arrived early in the morning.

They had roast goose for breakfast, just like before.

Chen Chang'an had gone down the mountain again a few days ago to buy it.

He bought a total of five geese.

By today, there was only one left.

"Senior brother, I'm leaving."

Early in the morning, after breakfast, Mao Ruxue stood in front of the Sutra Pavilion with a bundle in her hands and said to Chen Chang'an.

"Okay, go."

Chen Chang'an nodded.

"By the way, junior sister, take this."

He reached into his pocket and actually found something in his personal space.

Soon, he took out a Mustard Seed Na Jie bag and handed it to Mao Ruxue.

"Senior brother, what is this?" Mao Ruxue took it curiously.

She was not unfamiliar with the Mustard Seed Na Jie bag, but what puzzled her was what was inside.

"Some money, you should be able to use it over at the main peak."

"If you're out of money, just open it and take some." Chen Chang'an said.

"Oh, okay, thank you, senior brother." Mao Ruxue nodded and accepted the bag, not paying much attention to what was inside.

"Alright, go ahead."

Chen Chang'an nodded.

"When you arrive at the main peak, go and greet Li Daoran. I won't accompany you today."

"Okay, I understand, senior brother." Mao Ruxue nodded.

Before leaving, Chen Chang'an said again:

"Remember, don't cause trouble when you're out."

"But if trouble finds you, don't be afraid."

"If you really encounter someone deliberately looking for trouble, just fight back."

"If you can't beat them or if they call for backup, just go find Li Daoran."

"Uh!"

"I understand, senior brother."

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Mao Ruxue was initially filled with excitement.

But upon hearing the last sentence, she was a bit dumbfounded.

What did it mean to go find Li Daoran if she couldn't beat someone? Shouldn't she call for backup?

However, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with what senior brother said.

In the entire Heavenly Water Sect, who could be more powerful than the sect master Li Daoran when it came to calling for backup?

After bidding farewell, Mao Ruxue left Hidden Dao Mountain and headed towards Heavenly Water Peak.

Chen Chang'an returned to the Sutra Pavilion, skillfully reclined on a lounge chair, and leisurely took out the Taishang Dao Scripture to read.

"The birth of the Dao, the Bodhi mind,"

"The Five Emperors welcome, the Dao Treasury within the circle."

"Junior brother, how is it? Is the information confirmed?"

At the same time.

In the main hall of Heavenly Water Sect.

The sect master of Heavenly Water Sect, Li Daoran, had a frown on his face. Below him stood an old man in Daoist robes.

This old man was none other than the merit hall master of Heavenly Water Sect, Bai Yunzi.

Bai Yunzi and Li Daoran were disciples of the same generation, belonging to the second largest peak of Heavenly Water Sect, Dao Seeking Peak.

With extraordinary cultivation, he was once the most outstanding genius disciple among Li Daoran's generation, unparalleled.

However, time waits for no one, and now he looked like an old man.

In the main hall, it seemed that the two were exchanging information, and the question just now was asked by Li Daoran.

"Elder brother sect master, the situation is confirmed, and it's very bad." Bai Yunzi bowed and said.

"After my investigations and inquiries over the past few days, I have confirmed that the news about Heavenly Dao Sea is true."

"[Emperor Song] did indeed have a battle with the current Buddhist Gate leader, Master Fa Xuan, in Heavenly Dao."

"The final result was that Master Fa Xuan's twenty-four heavenly Buddha seals were destroyed, and most of his Buddhist cultivation was wiped out."

"He fell into eternal slumber."

"If there are no major events threatening the Buddhist Gate lineage in this lifetime, he may never wake up again."

"What?! Master Fa Xuan fell into eternal slumber?!" Li Daoran was shocked by Bai Yunzi's words.

Then he asked uncertainly, "Junior brother, are you really sure this is true?"

No wonder Li Daoran was so surprised.

Although the grand meeting in Heavenly Dao Sea was called the Hundred Sects Conference, Heavenly Water Sect did not have the qualifications to be invited.

After all, those who were included in the Hundred Sects must have at least a seventh realm Dao Lord.

And for Heavenly Water Sect, they happened to not have a Dao Lord.

Therefore, they were unaware of the battle between Chen Chang'an and Fa Xuan.
