Reading Is Holy! Exposed By My Junior Sister!

Chapter 85: Dao Tian Lao Zu Returns, Night God Ascends!

"Well, forget it. If you don't drink, I'll drink alone," Mao Ruxue said when she saw that Chen Chang'an didn't want to drink.

Chen Chang'an stopped trying to persuade her and continued to pick up his wine glass, drinking alone.

The Immortal Monkey Wine truly lived up to its reputation as the immortal wine renowned throughout the Formless World.

The taste was indeed delicious.

It was just a pity that there was too little of it.

Yes, there was too little.

Even though people had been sending some every day for the past few days, it was only a dozen or so barrels in the end.

Once he finished drinking these, he would have nothing left to drink.

"Or maybe I should raise some spirit monkeys to make wine?" Chen Chang'an suddenly had this thought in his mind.

With his strength, it wouldn't be a problem for him to capture some immortal monkeys that could make wine.

But after thinking about it, Chen Chang'an gave up on this idea.

There was just too much time needed for the Immortal Monkey Wine to mature.

A hundred years!

Why would he waste his time on this when there were so many other things he could do?

However, these old guys were not honest at all.

Clearly, they still had stock at home, but they just wouldn't send it up.

Truly a group of cunning old men.

Through his divine sense, Chen Chang'an easily discovered that there were still quite a few stocks of Peerless Grade treasures like the Immortal Monkey Wine or the Dragon Spirit Fish with Bai Yunzi and Li Daoran.

For example, Li Daoran had a total of eighteen Dragon Spirit Fish.

He sent ten of them up.

The remaining eight were secretly hidden by him.

But he told Bai Yunzi and the others that he had already sent them all up the mountain.

It was similar on Bai Yunzi's side.

Out of the twenty-plus barrels of Immortal Monkey Wine, fifteen were sent up.

The other five were hidden, but Bai Yunzi also told Li Daoran and the others that he had already sent them all.

It wasn't just these two, almost all the mountain heads who were forced to give gifts were like this.

However, Chen Chang'an just smiled and didn't say anything about it.

Under the guise of this bitter plan, it was already quite good for these stingy old guys to give so much.

If they dared to ask for more, they wouldn't care if he had really been injured for the sect.

They would truly use their swords!

In life, one must learn to be content.

In the fleeting world, in Chen Chang'an's life as a salted fish, several months passed in the blink of an eye.

During these few months, nothing major happened.

The only thing that happened was about the Sword Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

It seemed that the Sword Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect really only intended to station himself in the Undying Sword City and had no plans to cause trouble in the Tian Shui Domain.

Moreover, after seeing Chen Chang'an and realizing that he had no intention of seeking him out for a battle, he established a sect right there in the Undying Sword City.

It was called the Little Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

As the name suggested, it was a smaller version of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

Most of the disciples and elders of the Little Ten Thousand Swords Sect were transferred from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

And truly, after some pulling and tugging, this sect was established in an orderly manner.

Because it belonged to the same lineage as the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and had a Sword Master sitting in it, it quickly gained a foothold in the complex forces of the Undying Sword City.

Of course, this had nothing to do with Chen Chang'an.

During these few months, he continued to live his 'ordinary' life.

Every day, besides eating and sleeping, he would read books in his spare time, simple and unadorned.

The only downside is that since about a week after returning, Mao Ruxue has frequently disappeared without a trace. Often, he/she would only come back very late. Sometimes, he/she would even be absent for the entire day.

And at the same time, within the entire region of the Nether Sea.

A massive personnel change has completely occurred.

It is not something else.

However, the newly appointed Ksitigarbha, chosen by Emperor Song, has already completed the handover with the City God. He has officially taken over the area of the Underworld Sea.

The new Ksitigarbha is a decisive and efficient individual. As soon as he took office, he issued several strict orders. Using thunderous methods, he first eliminated all voices opposing him within the Underworld Sea.

In just a few days, he has completely solidified his title as the "Uncrowned King" of the Underworld Sea.

The leaders of various major sects have all gone to pay their respects with generous gifts.

The result of the visit is that all the sects that went there were either pulled in or suppressed!

They completely manipulated all the sects in the entire Nether Sea.

Their powerful methods are chilling!

However, what everyone doesn't know is that the true identity of the "Crowned King of the Nether Sea" who terrifies them is actually just a little girl who recently broke through the third realm.

Moreover, the most she has around her are ten to eight "Ghost-level" Yin Generals at the fourth realm, and their combined strength is no match for any sect in the Nether Sea.

Of course, they will never know this.

And no one has the courage to find out!

After this incident, Chen Chang'an finally understood how Mao Ruxue, such a little girl, managed to survive in the harsh environment of the Hall of Rebirth.

She relied on bluffing and adapting to the situation!

"She's quite experienced."

Chen Chang'an has always known that Mao Ruxue harbors a secret in her heart.

An ordinary girl like her could never become a Ksitigarbha, no matter what.

Even though the standards he set for Black and White Impermanence were already very low!

Chen Chang'an would never believe that Mao Ruxue doesn't have any secrets hidden within her.

However, he has no intention of asking or interfering.

Since the day he discovered that Mao Ruxue is a Ksitigarbha, Chen Chang'an has decided not to interfere.

He only intervenes with the junior sister on Hidden Dao Mountain, not the Ksitigarbha in the Ksitigarbha Hall.

As the saying goes, he also wants to see how far this junior sister can go in the end.

In the following days, Chen Chang'an continues to do nothing.

Then, the fish sent by Li Daoran starts to run out of stock.

He suddenly feels like going down the mountain to get more supplies from Li Daoran.

Because in the past few months, Chen Chang'an seems to have developed a liking for the taste of Li Daoran's fish.

To be honest, this thing called Dragon Spirit Fish really has delicious meat!

However, Chen Chang'an's idea ultimately falls through.

It's not that he doesn't want to go and get it, but there are other things holding him back.

On this day, thunder suddenly roars in the sky.

Then, the bell on the main peak of Heavenly Water Sect, Heavenly Water Peak, starts ringing incessantly.

Even the large bell on the top of Heavenly Water Peak starts ringing.

That bell is called the Return Bell.

Generally, when this bell rings, it can only mean one thing.

Someone important has returned to Heavenly Water Sect.

And among the missing people from Heavenly Water Sect, there is only one who can be considered important.

That is the founder of Heavenly Water Sect - Dao Tian Lao Ren!

Yes, Dao Tian Lao Ren has returned.

However, the situation is not too good.

It seems that he came back with serious injuries and coughed up a lot of blood.

His face is pale.

So much so that most people didn't even get a chance to see him before he announced his seclusion.

Just as Chen Chang'an had just arrived at the foot of Hidden Dao Mountain, he turned back and huffed and puffed his way back up the mountain.

Although he walked a little further, Chen Chang'an was in a good mood.

The Patriarch's seclusion means that there is no need to stand guard or attend meetings anymore.

However, the only downside is...

As soon as Chen Chang'an returned to the mountain, just as he arrived at the Sutra Pavilion and hadn't even thought about how to continue lying down in a different position, an old voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Boy, it seems like you're quite comfortable here."

It was an old man.

Wearing a tattered Daoist robe, with slight wrinkles above his eyes, deep and heavy.

His aura was restrained, returning to simplicity, just like an ordinary old man.

Careless!

The moment Chen Chang'an saw the old man, he cursed in his heart.

Various killing formations were set up on Hidden Dao Mountain, preventing anyone with murderous intent from entering.

However, no matter how cautious he was, he did not expect the current situation.

Damn it, this old guy is also someone without hostile intentions!

"Disciple Chen Chang'an, greetings to the Patriarch."

In the next moment, Chen Chang'an suddenly bowed in salute.

"Do you remember me?"

When Dao Tianlao saw Chen Chang'an's appearance, he originally wanted to tease him, but now he couldn't.

"I don't remember."

Chen Chang'an shook his head.

"But looking at the entire Heavenly Water Sect, there is no one with such a unique temperament except for the Patriarch."

"Besides you, I can't think of anyone else."

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Dao Tianlao was momentarily stunned, then laughed heartily.

"I didn't realize that you, kid, have such a silver tongue."

"Let me ask you, do you remember when I held you when you were a child?" Dao Tianlao asked again.

Chen Chang'an shook his head, "I don't."

"Of course, at that time, you were mentally deficient, how could you remember me?" Dao Tianlao shook his head, seemingly reminiscing about something.

"Hmm? The Patriarch appeared before?"

Chen Chang'an caught onto the point in Dao Tianlao's words and asked in astonishment.

"He appeared."

Dao Tianlao nodded.

"When you were just carried up the mountain by your master."

"I also came when your master died, but you just didn't recognize me."

After speaking, Dao Tianlao suddenly looked at Chen Chang'an seriously and said, "Boy, I won't waste any more words."

"I didn't come here to chat with you, but to tell you something."

Something to tell me?

Chen Chang'an was stunned at the words.

Honestly, he really had no memories of this Patriarch in his mind.

As for what he said about seeing him before, Chen Chang'an didn't believe it at all.

Now that he has reached the Eighth Realm, he can remember all the memories in front and behind him through retrospection.

Therefore, even if he was mentally deficient when he was young, Chen Chang'an can now remember everything clearly through retrospection.

However, even after searching through all the memories, Chen Chang'an never found anything related to the old man in front of him.

This is too abnormal!

To be honest, if Chen Chang'an didn't clearly feel the pure Purple Yang Power and Divine Demon Power unique to the Heavenly Water Sect in this old man's body, he would have doubted the old man's background.

Wait, could it be...?

Suddenly, Chen Chang'an thought of something.

Immediately, he quickly checked his memories again.

Sure enough, this time he found something wrong in his past memories.

In the year he was brought to Hidden Dao Mountain and the year his master Yang Han died, a figure with the same Dao Qi Accumulation appeared on Hidden Dao Mountain.

The faces of the two figures that appeared were different, both were unfamiliar faces.

But through the analysis of his great magical power, it was not difficult to find out that they were actually the same person.

He just changed his appearance.

So that's how it is.

Thinking of this, Chen Chang'an suddenly understood.

The Heavenly Water Sect has been searching for this old man for many years, causing great harm to the people and wasting resources, but no one knows that this old man never left the Heavenly Water Sect.

Damn it, it turns out this old man is a wanderer!

"If the Patriarch has any matters, please speak freely."

However, although he had realized it in his heart, Chen Chang'an still bowed politely on the surface.

"Young man, I'm not hiding it from you, I'm about to die."

However, the first words spoken by Dao Tian Lao Zu made Chen Chang'an stunned.

"Patriarch, you?"

"Yes, you heard me right, I'm about to die."

Seeing the look of surprise and doubt on Chen Chang'an's face, Dao Tian Lao Zu repeated it again.

"Young man, have you ever heard of the Night God?"

Chen Chang'an's mouth twitched at the words.

It's just that he has actually heard of this name, the Night God.

Not only has he heard of it, he is very familiar with it.

Simply put, the Night God is a name that appears among the righteous sects under the jurisdiction of Taiyi Gate.

And the Underworld is the exclusive name of the Hall of Rebirth for all beings.

From the Lord of the Hall of Rebirth, Yin Tianzi, to the most ordinary Underworld Ox-Head and Horse-Face, they can all be called the Underworld.

And the Night God is the same, from the Gate Master of Taiyi Gate to the ordinary disciples, they are all called the Night God.

The two correspond to each other!

However, it is much more difficult to become a Night God than to become a member of the Underworld.

For the latter, you just need to register your name at the Hall of Rebirth.

But to become the former is as difficult as reaching the sky.

It seems that you need to integrate some kind of heavenly and earthly power, something that ordinary people simply don't have the opportunity to do.

What puzzled Chen Chang'an was why Dao Tian Lao Zu would tell him this at this time.

"Patriarch, I naturally know about the Night God, but what do you mean by saying this?"

"That existence is not something I can reach."

Thinking of this, Chen Chang'an immediately asked.

Upon hearing this, Dao Tian Lao Zu sighed deeply.

"Young man, don't you understand? Your old ancestor here, I am a Night God."

"But now, I'm about to die."

"So, I hope you can take over and become the new Night God!"
