Reading Is Holy! Exposed By My Junior Sister!

Chapter 130: Taking in Disciples, Ancient Moon Silver Wolf! Emperor Song vs. Undying World Ancient Heavenly Venerable!

"What's the matter, Wuchang? Do you two have something to discuss?" Chen Chang'an immediately asked upon seeing their posture.

"Sir, the Undying World has opened, and my sister and I want to go back for a while," Wuchang replied to Chen Chang'an's question.

Go back? Chen Chang'an was momentarily stunned upon hearing Wuchang's words. But after a moment's thought, he remembered the reason behind it.

Black and White Impermanence were not originally from the Formless World. They were two children who Chen Chang'an had encountered by chance when he went to the Three Thousand Realms to find a book. Moved by their resilience, Chen Chang'an agreed to let them follow him.

Originally, their strength was not enough to cross worlds, but now that the Three Thousand Realms had merged and the Undying World had been pulled over as well, it was not surprising that they wanted to go back and take a look.

"Alright," Chen Chang'an nodded. "Go to the Underworld and let Yuhuang and Youhuan come up."

"For the time being, let them temporarily take care of your affairs," he added.

"Yes, thank you, sir," Black and White Impermanence quickly thanked Chen Chang'an.

The two people mentioned by Chen Chang'an, Yuhuang and Youhuan, were the other two major Yin Judges of Emperor Song's Palace. One was Yuhuang, and the other was Chimei.

Yuhuang was the leader of the Ancient Moon Demon Wolf clan, while Chimei was the leader of the Yaksha clan. The main Yin Judges of Emperor Song's Palace were mainly members of these two clans.

They usually did not appear in the main world of the Formless World but resided in the boundless Underworld. However, it was fine for them to temporarily take over the tasks here.

After that, Black and White Impermanence went to find someone to carry out their orders.

Going to the Undying World was not urgent because the complete fusion of the Undying World and the Formless World had not yet been achieved. Moreover, they had specific tasks to do when they went back, and it was not yet time, so there was no rush.

"Do you have any other matters, everyone?" Chen Chang'an asked the remaining people after Black and White Impermanence left.

"Sir, we have nothing to report," the remaining Yin Judges below immediately shook their heads.

However, one person seemed to have something to say and stepped forward: "But, sir, there is something you should know."

"Not long ago, in the area adjacent to the Heavenly Water Domain, the Undying Forest, and our Dead Silence Sea..."

"That generation of the Undying Imperial City seemed to have suddenly encountered a terrifying existence."

"The presence of that existence was extremely powerful, so powerful that none of us could approach it."

"So, sir, how should we proceed with that area? Please advise us."

This was an old Yin Judge with a slightly pale complexion.

What he said was about the situation in the Undying City. The reason for this was probably due to the protection Chen Chang'an had set up when he took over the position of Night God from Dao Tianlao, the former ancestor of the Heavenly Water Sect, and decided to become the Guardian of the Domain.

Although he was not there at the moment, his presence would always descend there.

The ancient aura felt by the old Yin Judges was probably the aura left by Chen Chang'an.

"Alright, I understand," Chen Chang'an said after pondering for a while, without explaining too much.

"As for that place, I will keep an eye on it. As for your tasks, you can proceed as usual."

"Yes, sir," the old Yin Judge immediately nodded.

After that, the group of people left.

After the group left, Chen Chang'an did not immediately leave but picked up a few reports on the desk and started reading them.

Some of these reports were submitted by various departments under Emperor Song's Palace and were organized and placed here by Black and White Impermanence.

Others were sent by Yuhuang and Chimei from the boundless Underworld, concerning matters related to the Undying World.

Buzz~! Suddenly, the space in Emperor Song's Palace trembled slightly, and then two figures appeared in front of Chen Chang'an.

"Sir."

"We pay our respects, sir."

The two people were a man and a woman. The man was a middle-aged man with a small beard on his chin, while the woman was a young woman.

They were Yuhuang, the leader of the Ancient Moon Demon Wolf clan, and Chimei, the leader of the Yaksha clan in the boundless Underworld.

Yuhuang was the man, and Chimei was the woman.

"Yes," Chen Chang'an nodded.

"Wuchang should have told you that they will be leaving the main world for a while," Chen Chang'an said. "So, for the time being, the two of you will temporarily take over their duties."

"Yes, sir," the two of them immediately saluted Chen Chang'an.

"Sir, I have a request to ask for your permission," Yuhuang suddenly spoke up while kneeling on one knee in front of Chen Chang'an.

"What is it? You can speak, Yuhuang," Chen Chang'an replied.

Chen Chang'an was slightly puzzled, but still asked.

With Chen Chang'an's permission, You Huang immediately spoke up:

"Reporting to the Lord, here's what happened."

"Not long ago, our clan gave birth to a Gu Yue Silver Wolf."

"As soon as it was born, it displayed a natural Law Manifestation and was revered as a Saintess by many elders in our clan."

"But we couldn't find anyone to teach her."

"I don't want her talent to go to waste, so I dare to ask the Lord to accept her as a disciple."

"Let her serve and accompany the Lord."

After speaking, You Huang lowered his head heavily, not daring to look at Chen Chang'an.

Beside him, Chi Mei also looked at You Huang with a puzzled expression, not understanding what he was doing.

Over the years, Emperor Song's character was well known to them as his subordinates.

During these years, no one dared to force Emperor Song to do anything.

Including now, there was still no one.

So far, this was the first time Chi Mei had seen someone dare to do such a thing.

However, looking at You Huang's state, Chi Mei understood.

You Huang's actions seemed to have already considered the consequences.

Gu Yue Silver Wolf?

Upon hearing You Huang's words, Chen Chang'an was momentarily stunned.

Gu Yue Silver Wolf was a powerful demonic species that appeared in the mythical era.

Its combat power was terrifying, reaching the level of Mythic.

It was said to be able to contend head-on with the peak demonic True Kings, incredibly strong.

Chen Chang'an had never considered that a Gu Yue Silver Wolf would be born in this world.

At the same time, he understood why You Huang had come to him.

There was no other reason, if it really was a Gu Yue Silver Wolf, with the background of his Wolf Demon Clan, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to protect her!

"Let her come and let me see."

Thinking of this, Chen Chang'an said so.

"Thank you, Lord!"

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, You Huang immediately smiled gratefully.

"Yue'er, come out and meet the Lord."

Afterwards, he shouted outside the hall.

"Yes, Ancestor!"

After You Huang's words were shouted out, a clear and pleasant voice immediately sounded outside the hall.

Then a woman walked in.

She was a young woman dressed in a green robe, graceful and elegant.

"Moyue of the Wolf Demon Clan pays respects to the Lord."

As soon as the woman entered, she bowed to Chen Chang'an.

"Please rise, there's no need for so much courtesy." Chen Chang'an waved his hand, indicating that it was unnecessary.

Then, he used his True Spirit Eye to look at Gu Yue, and indeed, he felt a strong oppressive presence within her.

Looking through her essence, he discovered a giant silver wolf with silver-white fur all over her body.

Indeed, she was a Gu Yue Silver Wolf, but this Gu Yue Silver Wolf was still in her youth, equivalent to a human girl of eighteen or nineteen years old.

She had Divine Ability but no battle techniques.

However, just being able to transform at such a young age, Chen Chang'an admired her talent.

Well, there was nothing to admire.

The Gu Yue Silver Wolf Clan was born to transform.

Thinking of this, Chen Chang'an nodded, and then looked at Gu Yueqing, saying:

"Are you willing to be my disciple?"

"Replying to the Lord, I am willing."

"Disciple Gu Yue, pays respects to Master."

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Gu Yueqing immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

Chen Chang'an accepted Gu Yue's kowtow.

He accepted Lin Qingxue, so he could accept Gu Yue as well.

Perhaps in the future, it would become a wonderful story of a witch and a fairy.

"You will follow me from now on." After Gu Yueqing finished kowtowing, Chen Chang'an said so.

"Later, I will have Wuchang find a place for you in the hall, and you can go there yourself."

"In a while, I will teach you some things."

"Yes, Master."

Gu Yueqing nodded quickly.

"Alright, you may leave now." Chen Chang'an nodded and declared the end.

Afterwards, he looked at You Huang and Chi Mei and said:

"You Huang, Chi Mei, you two may also leave. In the next two days, finish handing over your tasks to Wuchang as soon as possible."

"Yes, Lord."

You Huang and Chi Mei bowed and then left.

After dealing with these matters, Chen Chang'an also left.

His figure flashed and returned to Hidden Dao Mountain.

However, as soon as he arrived on the mountain, he saw Mao Ruxue sitting halfway up the mountain.

She was sitting on the stone steps, supporting her chin with one hand, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Sister, what's wrong? Why are you so worried?"

Chen Chang'an walked over and asked, "Senior brother, what's wrong? I was just thinking about something."

"Something? What is it?" Chen Chang'an asked with a slight smile.

Mao Ruxue said in confusion, "Senior brother, I have a friend. She knows two people who are very good to her. One is her immediate superior, who is usually cold but still treats her well. The other is like her elder, and they live together harmoniously. So, if both of them fell into the river, who should she save?"

Hmm.

Upon hearing Mao Ruxue's words, Chen Chang'an fell into deep thought.

"Junior sister, is it possible that both of them can swim?" he asked with a smile.

Then he said, "Junior sister, I'm being serious."

With a pouting mouth, it was clear that Mao Ruxue didn't like Chen Chang'an's answer.

"Okay then," Chen Chang'an immediately changed his response. "If it were me, I wouldn't save either of them. It's their own fault for going to play in the river!"

"Emmmm, senior brother, you're teasing me again," Mao Ruxue said, no longer wanting to talk.

"Hahaha~!"

Seeing Mao Ruxue's expression, Chen Chang'an laughed and walked away.

It's fortunate that this girl knows how to make a choice.

However, her worries are unnecessary.

Will those two fight? Chen Chang'an didn't think it was worth investigating.

Seeing Chen Chang'an's expression, Mao Ruxue's melancholy expression deepened.

Unable to figure it out, she simply stopped thinking about it.

It was getting late, time to make dinner.

Back on the mountain, Chen Chang'an's life returned to normal once again.

However, compared to before, there was something new in his life.

In the past, he would either read or sleep every day, occasionally drinking tea and playing chess with the retired elders of the sect, boasting about himself. These conversations could last the whole day.

Now, although he still did these things, they became less frequent.

Most of the time, he would hold a yellowed piece of parchment and write and draw on it, occasionally bursting into laughter.

Well, whether it sounded like a pig's squeal or not, Chen Chang'an didn't care.

"Are you there?"

"Yes."

"What are you doing?"

Woman: "The elders of the sect recently opened a secret realm and are preparing for me to cultivate there. I'm making some preparations now."

Man: "Oh, cultivation, that's good."

"I envy you for being able to cultivate."

Woman: "There's nothing to envy. If I could, I would rather live the kind of life you have. Oh, do you know? Yesterday, I heard the elders say that you have become a sage of Confucianism. Congratulations."

Man: "There's nothing to congratulate. It's just a stroke of luck."

Woman: "A stroke of luck can't achieve what you have. By the way, can you tell me what great cultivators like you do every day? [Curious]"

Woman continued, "I can't even imagine. People like you should be serious and awe-inspiring every day, right?"

Man: "Um, maybe, probably, more or less."

Woman: "It's getting dark where you are now, right? Are you going to sleep?"

Man: "How do you know I'm going to sleep?"

Woman: "After you became a sage, your deeds have been written down and spread here. So I know some things. So go to sleep, staying up late is not good for your health."

Man: "Okay, goodnight."

Woman: "Okay, bye [Bye]"

"."

On the bed, Chen Chang'an smiled slightly and put away the book he was reading.

However, he wasn't planning to sleep. Instead, he went to the courtyard.

Unconsciously, Chen Chang'an walked into Mao Ruxue's courtyard.

"Ha!"

At this moment, Mao Ruxue was practicing swordsmanship. The sword gleamed, complementing her graceful figure, shining brightly under the moonlight.

Mao Ruxue never gave up on her sword cultivation. It seemed like she would set aside some time every day to practice swordsmanship.

But every time, she would only make a few moves. She didn't have a real interest in swordsmanship; it seemed like she was just training her heart.

Chen Chang'an didn't disturb Mao Ruxue and quietly watched her practice for a while before leaving.

Days passed by.

Dang dang dang~!

As the sun rose, the crisp sound of bells echoed from the main peak of Heavenly Water Sect, Heavenly Water Peak.

The sound of the bells resounded throughout the heavens and the earth, spreading to all the peaks in an instant.

It was time for a grand assembly.

Chen Chang'an called Mao Ruxue and rushed to Heavenly Water Peak.

When Chen Chang'an arrived, all the peak masters of the 108 peaks of Heavenly Water were already present, except for him.

Although Chen Chang'an arrived late, no one said anything.

Inside the main hall, the sect master Li Daoran and the elder Li Xuandao were already in their positions.

Li Xuandao unexpectedly came, which Chen Chang'an did not expect.

"Everyone, the reason I called you all here this time is to discuss something."

After everyone had arrived, Li Daoran began to speak.

"Now, because of the gradual arrival of the Three Thousand Realms, the situation of our Heavenly Water Sect is getting worse."

"Although various sects are afraid to provoke us because of Chen Junior Brother, things in this world are always unpredictable, and no one knows what will happen next."

"So please, fellow junior and senior brothers, go back and properly restrain the disciples in your peaks, and don't provoke unnecessary trouble."

"Furthermore, after Chen Junior Brother returns from the Confucian School, the restraint on the Undying Sword City has been lifted."

"So we can also go to the two secret realms in the Hengduan Mountains."

"After you go back, you can select disciples to enter as you see fit."

"This is a great era, an era of both disaster and opportunity."

"The future of the sect depends on all of you."

"Alright, that's all I have to say for this meeting. If there's nothing else for fellow junior and senior brothers, you may go back."

The above is the main content of this meeting, mostly spoken by Li Daoran, while others were responsible for listening.

Of course, Chen Chang'an knew that these matters were actually decided unanimously by most of the peak masters and elders of Heavenly Water Sect.

Now it was just a notification.

At this time, on the stage, after a while of silence, when Li Daoran saw that no one was speaking, he said to everyone:

"Since there are no doubts from both senior and junior brothers, I hereby announce that this meeting is over."

"Good~!"

Under Li Daoran's words, all the peak masters nodded and then left.

However, Chen Chang'an did not leave. The reason why Li Daoran called everyone here and even brought out the elder was definitely not just to announce such a simple matter.

Sure enough, the next moment, Li Daoran's voice came over.

"Junior Brother Chen, please stay."

Then Li Daoran walked over and came to Chen Chang'an's side.

Seeing this, Chen Chang'an really wanted to say that he didn't even leave in the first place.

But he still asked, "Senior Brother Sect Master, is there something else?"

"Junior Brother, please follow me."

Li Daoran nodded and then gestured for Chen Chang'an to follow him.

Chen Chang'an was puzzled, but he followed along, accompanied by the Grand Elder Li Xuandao.

Soon, the three of them arrived at a side hall.

"Senior Brother, what can we talk about now?" Chen Chang'an asked immediately.

Li Daoran said, "Junior Brother, here's the thing. Recently, because of you, our sect's reputation has been flourishing in the vicinity."

"So, after discussing with the Grand Elder, we thought about recruiting a group of disciples to join our sect."

At this point, Li Daoran looked at Chen Chang'an.

However, Chen Chang'an had no objections to this and nodded, saying,

"Senior Brother, if you want to recruit, then go ahead."

"You can decide on this matter yourself, I have no objections."

"But, Senior Brother, I can tell from your expression that there seems to be something else."

At this point, Chen Chang'an suddenly noticed a slight frown on Li Daoran's brow, as if something was bothering him.

"Junior Brother, there's nothing else."

"Just...just..."

Li Daoran shook his head, denying Chen Chang'an's statement.

However, when it came to this point, his expression suddenly became hesitant.

"Senior Brother, if there's something, you can tell me."

Chen Chang'an immediately became puzzled and didn't know what he was concerned about. He smiled slightly and said.

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Li Daoran seemed to have made a decision and immediately said,

"Junior Brother, here's the thing. After discussing with the Grand Elder, we found that it is no longer appropriate for you to stay in the sect."

"Now, you are already a revered figure in the Confucian School."

"And Heavenly Water Sect, after all, is just a small sect. Keeping you here would be somewhat detrimental to your reputation."

"So, after discussing with the Grand Elder, we decided to give you the entire domain east of Liu Yunzhou and all the peaks of Hidden Dao Mountain."

"This will serve as the capital for you to establish a new sect."

"In the future, you can open your own sect."

After saying this, Li Daoran's expression became somewhat hesitant.

Letting Chen Chang'an go out and establish a sect was a decision they had carefully considered.

After all, with Chen Chang'an's current status, it would be inappropriate for him to continue staying in Heavenly Water Sect. This would greatly limit his development.

Moreover, figures like Chen Chang'an, who are revered and considered the founders of various laws, are supposed to have their own orthodoxy.

Their orthodoxy is their Dao, and in the future, they can achieve the highest level of Saint through this opportunity.

Therefore, Li Daoran and the others chose to let go.

Upon hearing this, Chen Chang'an was momentarily stunned, but then he smiled and said to Li Daoran,

"Senior Brother, did you hear something?"

What Li Daoran and the others could think of, Chen Chang'an naturally could think of as well.

However, Chen Chang'an did not think that Li Daoran, with his intelligence, would not know that whether or not to establish a sect would have no impact.

This is probably because someone said something in front of them.

"Junior brother, that's not it."

"We haven't heard anything."

Li Daoran shook his head, and that was indeed their true thoughts.

Chen Chang'an also shook his head.

"In that case, senior brother, you don't need to worry about it. Let's just leave it at that."

"Forget about establishing a sect."

"Our Hidden Dao Mountain already has the Confucian and Daoist traditions. Now it's just a matter of me picking it up."

"Now that it has become a Dao, it means that our Hidden Dao Mountain has achieved the Dao of Confucianism and Daoism."

"In this way, I have only preserved the legacy left by our ancestors, nothing more."

Chen Chang'an's words were resolute.

In his opinion, there was really nothing to be entangled about in this matter.

"Alright, then junior brother, we'll leave this matter to you."

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Li Daoran immediately nodded apologetically, and so did the Grand Elder Li Xuandao beside him.

Chen Chang'an's words also relieved the inner conflict they had.

The reason why Heavenly Water Sect established 108 peaks was to encourage competition among the peaks.

In the history of the sect, there have been instances where a few peaks became individually powerful.

Even Hidden Dao Mountain, not too long ago, was once a major peak within Heavenly Water Sect, and one peak alone was enough to be half of Heavenly Water Sect's fighting force.

And now, this kind of situation has reappeared, it's just a reoccurrence of this peak power.

If understood in this way, it seems there is no need to be conflicted.

Thinking of this, Li Daoran immediately put this matter aside, and then he looked at Chen Chang'an and asked:

"So junior brother, what do you think we should do about recruiting disciples?"

"Should we follow the previous recruitment criteria?"

In the past, when Heavenly Water Sect recruited disciples, the first thing they looked at was character, and then aptitude.

The reason for such selection was not only due to Chinese customs, but also because the territory occupied by Heavenly Water Sect was not large.

Each time they recruited disciples, there were not too many outstanding ones, so there were such regulations.

And now, because of Chen Chang'an's influence, Li Daoran could already anticipate.

Once Heavenly Water Sect released the news of recruiting disciples, half of the Formless World would probably be stirred.

This is not a random speculation, but a fact.

The appeal of a Confucian saint is almost unquestionable!

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that he is now the sect leader, Li Daoran would want to worship under Chen Chang'an's door.

Of course, if he really did that, he would probably just get kicked by Chen Chang'an!

"Let's follow the usual rules."

After hearing Li Daoran's words, Chen Chang'an thought for a moment before speaking.

However, as if he had thought of something, he added:

"Let's add a rule, this time the disciples will be divided into two areas."

"The first area is within our Heavenly Water Sect's territory, which is where we have recruited disciples in the past."

"In this area, we will follow the usual rules and recruit those who meet the requirements."

"The second area is on the other side of the Undying Mountains. As long as the disciples there have a strong enough temperament, they can be recruited."

The other side of the Undying Mountains?

After Chen Chang'an said this, Li Daoran was suddenly stunned, and he suddenly had a special guess.

"Yes, Senior Brother, you guessed it right. I am Changge Dazun from the Central Earth Divine Court, and I also serve as the Territory Keeper on the other side of the Undying City!"

Seeing Li Daoran's expression, Chen Chang'an said without any surprise.

There was no need to hide this matter. Originally, his intention was to change his identity in the righteous path.

But now, with his Saint-level cultivation exposed, that identity was no longer meaningful.

On the contrary, by speaking out, he could avoid some unnecessary troubles in the future.

"What about Junior Brother? The previous Haodazun?"

Li Daoran suddenly asked again.

Haodazun is Dao Tian's ancestor."

Chen Chang'an said.

"Senior Brother, do you still remember the ring that the ancestor asked you to give me? Actually, that ring is the Night God's inheritance."

"The ancestor had already approached me before, but I didn't agree at that time."

"When the ancestor passed away, he integrated his lifelong cultivation into it and later gave it to you."

"I'm sorry for keeping this from you for so long."

"I have been to the Undying City, and the children there are quite simple and honest. They are good candidates for disciples."

"So I will trouble Senior Brother and the others when the time comes."

Saying this, Chen Chang'an slightly bowed to Li Daoran.

"Junior Brother, I understand."

"Don't worry, I will arrange this matter soon."

Li Daoran nodded heavily.

At the same time, his heart was filled with sorrow, not for anyone, but for Dao Tian's ancestors and the previous generations of Heavenly Water Sect's ancestors.

In the history of Heavenly Water Sect, every once in a while, several ancestors would inexplicably disappear.

Most of them would return before their passing, while some never returned.

At first, Heavenly Water Sect thought that these ancestors had abandoned them, and recorded these events one by one, until it reached Li Daoran's generation.

In fact, not long ago, he also once thought that Dao Tian's ancestor had abandoned Heavenly Water Sect.

But now, after hearing what Chen Chang'an said, Li Daoran suddenly understood everything.

Immediately, his eyes became moist.

The Undead City is the only gap between the Heavenly Water Domain and the Undead Forest.

Once that city gate is breached, the Heavenly Water Domain will be exposed to the Undead Forest.

In this way, not only will the people inside the Undead City perish, but all the forces in the Heavenly Water Domain will also face a great calamity.

Under such a calamity, the Heavenly Water Sect will ultimately be destroyed!

"Junior brother, is there anything else?"

After understanding this, Li Daoran continued to ask Chen Chang'an.

"There is one last point, which is about those outside our sect's territory."

"Senior brother, issue a call, saying that anyone who wants to join our Heavenly Water Sect from outside our sect's territory is allowed, but they must meet the following conditions."

"First, they are not descendants of any major forces. Anyone who has any relationship with major forces will not be accepted."

"Second, their family does not have any deep grudges or vendettas."

"Third, the disciples recruited should primarily be those who have not yet solidified their Dao Foundation. If there are disciples who have cultivated before, they can also be recruited, but they must personally undergo training and testing, otherwise they will not be accepted."

"Fourth: they must have perseverance. Children from ordinary families will be given the registration fee for the Heavenly Water Tournament."

"Fifth, the total number of recruits from outside the domain should not exceed two hundred."

"That's all for now, the rest is up to you, senior brother."

Chen Chang'an thought for a moment and finally stated these five rules.

Chen Chang'an did this not for any other reason, but because he didn't want to get involved in any karma.

Now that the three thousand realms have merged, the people on each piece of land have complex relationships.

In this complex web of relationships, various karmic entanglements are inevitable.

For example, deep blood feuds, love, affection, and countless others.

Although Chen Chang'an is not afraid of these things, he still doesn't want any trouble.

The more disciples he recruits and the wider the range, the more karma the Heavenly Water Sect will encounter in the future.

Chen Chang'an has always just wanted to live a peaceful life, he doesn't want to get involved in these karmic entanglements.

Being able to offer two hundred recruitment spots is already the maximum he can give.

"Oh, by the way, senior brother, add one more thing to the enrollment notice.

There are exceptions to the following situations, and we will accept all of them:

First: being jilted in a marriage, and the person who comes to break off the engagement is a prominent figure or has a background in a major force. Regardless of gender, we will accept them unconditionally."

"Second: being born with bone-digging talent and being expelled from the family or sect!"

"Third: being a former genius who suddenly becomes useless overnight, wandering aimlessly all day, muttering to themselves while looking at rings or small objects!"

"Fourth: having no background, but suddenly becoming stronger than ordinary people and displaying various miraculous abilities!"

"Fifth!"

"."

"Thirteenth, going to major sects to pay respects, being looked down upon because of low talent, or being ridiculed or even slapped by the elders at the sect gate!"

Chen Chang'an spoke at length, leaving Li Daoran and Li Xuandao bewildered.

After a while, Li Daoran, with a bewildered expression, asked, "Um, junior brother, is there any significance to what you just said?"

Li Daoran was truly bewildered.

What on earth was this? Either they were useless or ordinary people, either they were called off an engagement or their talents suddenly disappeared.

Why did they recruit disciples like this?

To be honest, in all the years of recruiting disciples, Li Daoran had never encountered anything so unique.

However, Chen Chang'an did not explain. He said, "Senior brother, you don't need to worry about it. This is a conversation between high-level individuals."

"In short, as long as you encounter people like this, immediately recruit them for me, as many as possible."

"Um, alright!" Li Daoran could only nod hesitantly.

"Hey, have you heard? Heavenly Water Sect is accepting disciples."

"What? Heavenly Water Sect is accepting disciples? Which Heavenly Water Sect?"

"Which other Heavenly Water Sect could it be? It's the Heavenly Water Sect where the sage Chen Chang'an is located!"

"Damn, they're actually accepting disciples? Are you sure? I heard that the last time they accepted disciples was about a year ago."

"There's no mistake, and this time, Heavenly Water Sect is accepting disciples from the entire Formless World."

"It is said that there are several special rules, and if anyone meets one of those rules, they can even become a disciple of the sage Chen Chang'an!"

"You can become a disciple of Chen Chang'an?! My goodness, is this true? Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry up and sign up!"

.

With the news of Heavenly Water Sect accepting disciples spreading, the entire Formless World was in an uproar.

Almost everywhere in the cities, streets, teahouses, and taverns of every region, you could see people discussing this matter.

In just a few short days, the news of Heavenly Water Sect accepting disciples had spread throughout the entire Formless World.

After the news spread, almost every day, people set off towards the direction of the Formless World.

Even though they knew that this time, Heavenly Water Sect only opened up 200 spots for disciples, many people still firmly wanted to try their luck.

For a while, the border areas of the major regions could see people passing through every day, like a pilgrimage.

What was strange was that as long as these people said they were going to Heavenly Water Sect to participate in the disciple selection, they were met with green lights along the way.

Some small towns even treated these people as important guests, not only allowing them passage but also providing food and drink along the way, tirelessly.

Not only were the human territories like this, even the major forbidden areas and dangerous places had their own actions.

Although they didn't provide food and drink for these passing people, they all coincidentally prohibited the actions of their respective great monster demons during this period.

No one dared to act recklessly.

This scene dumbfounded the onlookers.

But after thinking about it for a moment, they understood.

Ordinary people couldn't make such big changes in these forbidden areas and dangerous places.

But there was one person who definitely could.

Chen Chang'an!

To the Holy Chen Chang'an!

This is basically an undeniable fact.

After all, even though it has been several months, until now...

The blood of the four Heavenly Venerables killed by the Confucian Saint Chen Chang'an is still fresh!

Those sleepers in the forbidden areas, at most, are just a Heavenly Venerable, and some are even just titans of the Everlasting Realm.

For beings like them, anyone with a bit of insight would not choose to go against Chen Chang'an.

After all, going against Chen Chang'an means going against one's own life.

They are not so foolish.

This matter was unexpected by Chen Chang'an, but he didn't mind.

Let's just give way, he never thought of causing trouble for those people.

Coincidentally, now he doesn't need to find an excuse.

Buzz~!

On this day, outside the mountain gate of the Heavenly Water Sect, a staircase made entirely of white marble appeared, reaching into the sky.

On this staircase, strands of majestic aura crisscrossed.

From among them, one could see white phoenixes soaring, white dragons roaring, and giant eagles circling and soaring.

This staircase is not just any ordinary staircase, but a trial staircase crafted by Li Daoran at Chen Chang'an's request.

This staircase incorporates Chen Chang'an's Dao and is itself an immortal-level weapon of slaughter.

It contains tens of thousands of illusion formations, each connected layer by layer, forming a trial ladder.

And each step corresponds to a kind of mentality.

As long as disciples participating in the mountain worship can walk out of one of the illusions, they qualify to become entry-level disciples of the Heavenly Water Sect.

The opening ceremony will soon begin, and countless people have come to participate in the trial early in the morning.

And on this day, Chen Chang'an was bored, so he brought a chair, brewed a pot of tea, and sat on a scenic hillside, quietly watching this scene.

Honestly, as a disciple for so many years, Chen Chang'an has never seen how the cultivation forces select disciples.

Now he can finally experience it.

"If the system hasn't awakened, I should also become one of them, right?"

Seeing the disciples climbing up the stairs below, Chen Chang'an thought this way.

Not "should," but definitely will.

If there was no system, he wouldn't have been so clueless when he transmigrated. (The system and three of the six gods arrived later.)

And if all six gods were present, Chen Chang'an believed...

As a person who was reborn in this world, he would definitely want to try the gods and immortals of this world.

Otherwise, there would be no point in transmigrating and being reborn.

And if that were the case, the current situation of these people below might be his situation as well.

Who knows, there might even be a story of a loser making a comeback.

Okay, Chen Chang'an admits that if it's really like this, he will probably fail the first test.

What a waste, there's no way he can make a comeback.

Thinking this, Chen Chang'an picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.

It's better to be in this state, busy with nothing all day.

"Hmm??"

However, suddenly at this moment, Chen Chang'an's brows furrowed.

Because just now, his mind suddenly trembled.

This is a sign that someone is in trouble, and it's someone close by!

"Sir, something bad has happened, you need to come back and see. The soul lamps of Black and White Impermanence have become extremely fragile for some reason, and they are about to disappear."

The next moment, before Chen Chang'an could figure out what was going on, he heard a voice in his ear.

It came from the direction of the Hall of Rebirth, and the person transmitting the message is [魑魅]!

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, Chen Chang'an's brows furrowed, and then the next moment, Emperor Song appeared in front of him.

A spatial crack appeared out of thin air, and then his figure flashed, appearing in the Hall of Emperor Song.

When he arrived at the Hall of Emperor Song, there were already two people waiting here, it was [魑魅] and [幽煌].

"[魑魅], [幽煌], what's going on?" Chen Chang'an immediately asked.

"Sir, we don't know why, but just now, the soul lamps of Black and White Impermanence in the Underworld suddenly became extremely fragile, almost on the verge of disappearing."

"And this disappearance is still ongoing, so we had to inform you, sir."

[魑魅] said, as she took out two golden lamps from her sleeve.

At this moment, the flames on these two lamps were extremely weak, with one of them only having a few flickering stars.

It would almost be extinguished with just a slight breeze.

"Hmm?!"

Seeing this scene, Chen Chang'an's brows furrowed.

Black and White Impermanence are currently in the realm of the Undead, and if their soul lamps are in this state, it means something has happened.

Chen Chang'an doesn't understand, with the current power of the Hall of Emperor Song, what kind of force would dare to provoke them.

"You two, guard the hall, I'll go take a look!"

Chen Chang'an said, waving his hand, and the soul lamps of Black and White Impermanence were put away in his sleeve.

"Yes, sir."

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, [幽煌] and the others nodded in agreement.

To be honest, they were also very shocked at this moment.

Obviously, they didn't expect that someone would be so bold as to provoke the Hall of Emperor Song at this time.

"Undead, open!"

Then, his expression condensed, and he shouted coldly.

Buzz~!

In an instant, a spatial rift appeared in front of him.

The surroundings of the rift emitted a dark light, like a hellish abyss.

Undoubtedly, at one end of this spatial rift was the realm of the Undead.

After the appearance of the spatial rift, Chen Chang'an did not hesitate and stepped into it.

"Send off the Lord."

Seeing Chen Chang'an leave, both You Huang and Chi Mei immediately bowed respectfully once again.

At the same time, in the realm of the Undead, above a sea filled with mist.

A towering altar suddenly appeared here.

The surroundings of the altar were brightly lit by flames, and beneath it, ancient formations stood tall, each inscribed with extremely ancient runes.

From above, a series of ancient and eternal powers continuously erupted.

"Void Dao Zun, the proof of gods and demons."

"From now on, please awaken!"

And around the altar, there were people wearing black robes.

They seemed to blend into the heavens and the earth, conducting this grand ritual here.

"Poof~!"

The difference was that in the center of this colorful altar, two figures were lying asleep.

These two people were none other than Black and White Impermanence, who had recently returned from taking leave with Chen Chang'an.

At this moment, Black and White Impermanence looked extremely weak, on the verge of exhaustion.

"Brother, I feel like I can't go on anymore. We have let down the Lord."

White Impermanence glanced at Black Impermanence and said.

Upon hearing White Impermanence's words, Black Impermanence smiled bitterly and said:

"Sister, it's all my fault. I insisted on coming back at this time, and I have caused you trouble."

This time, they came back mainly to mourn their deceased mother.

However, they were ambushed and eventually brought to this altar.

Black Impermanence didn't know the purpose of the people who captured them.

The only thing he knew was that this matter was indeed aimed at them.

The other party had probably been waiting for them for a long time.

"Liu Xie Ming, do you know what you're doing? You are declaring war against my Emperor Song Hall!"

Black Impermanence suddenly looked towards the outside, where a man was looking at them with an evil smile.

Upon hearing Black Impermanence's words, the man smiled and said:

"Liu Bai, there's no need to struggle. This situation was set up by the Lord. This time, both of you are destined to perish here."

"If you want to blame someone, blame your bad luck for coinciding with the awakening of the Lord."

"As for the Emperor Song Hall you mentioned, I'm sorry, I don't know what that is."

"After the Lord comes out, everything will be resolved. Do you think I'm afraid?"

"Stop talking, get ready to depart!"

The man smiled faintly.

They had been extremely secretive about this matter. Even if Emperor Song realized it, so what?

By the time Emperor Song reacted, everything would already be set in stone.

At that time, with the protection of the Lord, they would no longer fear Emperor Song.

"Oh, is that so?"

However, in the next moment, a cold voice resounded in the sky.

Buzz~!

Following the sound of a buzzing, a crack suddenly tore open in the sky.

Then, Chen Chang'an's figure walked out from within.

"Lord?!"

Seeing Chen Chang'an's appearance, Black and White Impermanence exclaimed excitedly.

But due to their severe injuries, their voices, which should have been full of energy, sounded extremely weak.

"Mhm~!"

Chen Chang'an nodded.

"Unleash~!"

Afterwards, he shouted loudly, and a terrifying force suddenly attacked the altar.

"Hmm?"

However, in the next moment, it was seen that the altar remained unscathed.

And his attack was repelled.

"Hahaha, Emperor Song, you can't break this altar."

"Once the Yin-Yang Great Formation is formed, not even you, the Yin Tianzi, can break it. This time, our Lord is destined to awaken."

Seeing this scene, the man laughed heartily.

"Mhm?"

Chen Chang'an's brows furrowed, and then a surge of power poured out from him.

Boom!

In an instant, the man was crushed into ashes!

Truly ignorant!

"Who dares to kill my disciple?!"

However, just as Chen Chang'an was preparing for the next step.

In the next moment, a terrifying voice came from beneath the altar.
