Reading Is Holy! Exposed By My Junior Sister!

Chapter 140: Returning to the Wilderness, Time and Space Distortion, Arriving in the Ancient Era!

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it had been a month since Chen Chang'an and the others returned from the Wilderness.

During this month, Chen Chang'an didn't go anywhere, but stayed on the mountain teaching Mao Ruxue and the others. Occasionally, he would also teach Gu Yue'er in the Hall of Rebirth.

There was no way around it. He couldn't show favoritism between his different roles.

In the tug-of-war between these two identities, Chen Chang'an completed a difficult yet joyful month.

Then, on this day, Chen Chang'an suddenly announced that he would be going into seclusion.

He locked himself inside the Sutra Pavilion, not seeing anyone. He even set up a formidable formation outside the Sutra Pavilion, so even if Li Daoran came, he wouldn't be able to see him.

However, Mao Ruxue was not surprised by Chen Chang'an's seclusion. Since she came to the mountain, her senior brother had inexplicably announced his seclusion many times before.

And most of the time, when he went into seclusion, he would secretly sneak down the mountain to play.

Could Mao Ruxue do anything about this?

No, she couldn't.

Chen Chang'an was like an older brother and a father figure to her. Even if she knew that this was unreasonable, she couldn't do anything to stop him.

So, she got used to it.

After all, as long as the time came, her senior brother would come back directly. There was nothing to worry about.

However, this time Mao Ruxue guessed wrong.

Chen Chang'an did go down the mountain, but he didn't go to play. Instead, he came to the Wilderness.

Buzz~!

Chen Chang'an once again arrived under the Holy Spirit Ancient Tree. Last time, he failed to advance here, but now he knew what went wrong. This time, he wanted to make up for this regret.

Buzz~!

In the next moment, Chen Chang'an sat down directly in front of the Holy Spirit Ancient Tree. Just like last time, as soon as he sat down, he released all the myriad laws within his body.

Then, through some strange connection, the Holy Spirit Ancient Tree once again emitted a hazy light that connected with the laws within Chen Chang'an's body.

At the moment of this connection, Chen Chang'an once again entered that strange state.

Unlike last time, this time Chen Chang'an felt that this state was even more distinct and clear. With the support of this state, he felt like he had turned into a fish.

He started swimming from a small stream, swam for an unknown amount of time, and then swam into a big river. Finally, he merged into the ocean.

During this process, he witnessed the origin of the separation of heaven and earth, witnessed the rise and fall of countless eras.

He saw the birth of the Holy Spirit Ancient Tree, witnessed the birth of the first immortal in the world, witnessed the rise of the Immortal Dao from its inception to its peak, and then its decline.

Scene after scene, painting after painting, all filled Chen Chang'an's mind.

These scenes were something Chen Chang'an had never experienced before, and at this moment, he was able to see them all.

Hmm?

What is this?

Suddenly, among these scenes, Chen Chang'an noticed a certain place.

That was the first brilliant point where the Immortal Dao appeared.

For some reason, when his thoughts were brought here, Chen Chang'an felt an extreme sense of longing in his heart.

As if there was something very important there.

Should he go take a look?

This thought suddenly emerged in Chen Chang'an's mind.

Without hesitation, he began to dig deeper into that place with his thoughts.

Buzz~!

As Chen Chang'an delved deeper, the scene in front of him became even clearer.

He saw the brilliant Immortal Dao, with various Great Daos standing tall between heaven and earth. Above the void, countless unmatched Immortal Emperors and Immortal Monarchs stood supreme, overlooking the eternal ages.

This was a brilliant world that belonged solely to the Immortal Dao, active in all eras.

Chen Chang'an could clearly feel that the thing attracting him was in the center of this brilliant Immortal Dao Great World.

It seemed like all the answers were there.

Without hesitation, Chen Chang'an continued to control his body and swim. He swam against the current of time, constantly approaching that center.

Buzz~!

At the same time, in the outside world, as Chen Chang'an explored, his aura suddenly became even more bizarre.

His body fluctuated between reality and illusion, sometimes solid, sometimes ethereal, as if everything was about to disappear!

"What the hell, kid, are you crazy? Are you playing with fire?"

"You're playing with fire, do you know? Stop, stop quickly!"

Within the inner world, Kidney Deficiency Master was scared to the point of peeing himself by this scene. He quickly shouted, trying to stop Chen Chang'an.

However, it seemed to have no effect.

At this moment, Chen Chang'an was already immersed in that world, and he couldn't hear what Kidney Deficiency Master was shouting.

At this moment, he was already approaching the center of that world, and he was clear about what that figure in the center of that world was.

It was a tree!

A gigantic ancient tree with seven colors!

It had lush leaves of seven colors, branches as thick as ten ancient divine mountains combined, and its canopy covered the sky.

"This?"

"This is the Holy Spirit Ancient Tree?!"

Seeing this scene, Chen Chang'an was immediately overjoyed.

Undoubtedly, this should be the Holy Spirit Ancient Tree from the ancient era.

And if Chen Chang'an's guess was correct, as long as he could establish a connection with this Holy Spirit Ancient Tree, he would definitely be able to achieve the Ninth Realm of the Immortal Dao.

Moreover, he could even surpass the Heavenly Venerable Realm in one fell swoop and directly achieve the status of a Great Heavenly Venerable!

Buzz~!

However, in the next moment, just as Chen Chang'an was thinking about how to establish a connection, the body of the Holy Spirit Ancient Tree outside suddenly shook violently.

Boom~!

Then, a huge crack appeared out of thin air on the trunk of the tree.

Within the crack, a terrifying aura surged out. This terrifying scene made the crack look like the entrance to hell, extremely horrifying.

What was even more terrifying was that within the crack, an extremely powerful suction force was constantly emanating.

It crazily swallowed everything. Anything within this space was sucked into it!

"This?"

"What the f*ck! A time crack?!"

"Kid, run! This motherf*cker is a time crack. Once you get sucked in, you're done for!"

Beside Chen Chang'an, Kidney Deficiency Master was scared to the point of peeing himself when he saw this scene. He immediately shouted loudly.

Time, that was something he didn't dare to touch even in his peak period!

At this moment, after being reminded by Kidney Deficiency Master, Chen Chang'an's consciousness also returned to his body.

Chen Chang'an stood up and looked at the crack that appeared on the Holy Spirit Ancient Tree, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

It was indeed a time crack!

The vast power of time emanating from within made him unable to put up any resistance.

"Go!"

In the next moment, without hesitation, Chen Chang'an directly displayed his body technique, intending to leave this place.

Boom~!

But before Chen Chang'an could react, in the next moment, the time crack expanded directly, sucking the entire space into it.

"What the f*ck!"

Naturally, Chen Chang'an was not spared and was instantly sucked in.

Then, Chen Chang'an immediately felt a tearing pain all over his body, as if he was being cut by thousands of knives every moment.

This was the heavy blow from the time barrier, the punishment of the Way of Time for intruders. It was unstoppable, only to be endured!

It was truly painful!

Under this kind of pain, Chen Chang'an's face twisted.

He had every reason to believe that if he continued to suffer such injuries, he would be annihilated here today.

This was such a damn pit!

Buzz~!

Fortunately, when the damage to Chen Chang'an's body reached a limit, a misty aura suddenly rose from his body.

"Moo~!"

Then, a sound of an elephant tearing through the heavens and earth resounded in the world.

After this sound, the misty aura on Chen Chang'an's body instantly converged into the appearance of a divine elephant.

The Imprisoning Heaven Divine Elephant!

This was the Law Manifestation of the Imprisoning Heaven Divine Elephant protecting its master!

The appearance of the shadow of the Imprisoning Heaven Divine Elephant greatly reduced the damage Chen Chang'an suffered.

After an unknown amount of time, the long and narrow tunnel finally had some light.

But at the moment when Chen Chang'an arrived at the bright spot, before he could see clearly what was going on, he suddenly felt his vision go black and instantly fainted.

"Hey, kid, wake up, kid, are you dead? If not, wake up quickly?"

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Chang'an faintly heard someone calling him.

In a daze, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Old man, where is this?"

The person calling him was undoubtedly Kidney Deficiency.

Chen Chang'an sat up and looked around.

He only discovered that they were in a deep valley at this moment.

In the valley, there was a spiritual spring flowing slowly, and in the forest, one could see spiritual deer running. In the sky, several birds with colorful wings were flying side by side.

This was the scene nearby, and when looking further away, one could see a mist of immortality, with ancient divine mountains standing one after another.

It was just like a scene from the immortal realm.

"Pfft!"

Before he could clearly see the surroundings, Chen Chang'an suddenly felt a sweet sensation in his throat, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Sizzle~!

The scorching purple-golden blood fell to the ground, instantly making a sizzling sound as it soaked the ground.

Looking at the purple-golden blood on the ground, Chen Chang'an couldn't help but smile bitterly. This time, he was truly careless.

If it weren't for the Law Manifestation of the divine elephant automatically protecting him at the critical moment, he would probably be dead by now.

Even so, his current condition was not good.

With a quick internal examination, Chen Chang'an found that his current state was extremely bad.

His Dao Foundation was basically completely destroyed, and his Dao techniques were also mostly gone, almost exhausted.

At this moment, he couldn't even fight against a Heavenly Venerable, let alone a Dao Lord.

"Old man, where is this?" After understanding the situation, Chen Chang'an asked Kidney Deficiency again.

"One good news, one bad news, kid, which one do you want to hear first?" Kidney Deficiency didn't answer, but instead threw a question back at Chen Chang'an.

"Let's hear the good news first," Chen Chang'an thought for a moment and said.

Kidney Deficiency said, "The good news is that you're very lucky. The place we're in right now is the Hongmeng Primordial World, which is even older than the ancient era! In this era of the Hongmeng Primordial World, the Immortal Dao is exceptionally prosperous."

"You can communicate with the Holy Spirit Ancient Tree and learn the most supreme and essential Chaos Immortal Dao among all Immortal Daos."

"And, because half of your body's Immortal Dao comes from the Holy Spirit Ancient Tree of the future, the benefits you will receive will be tremendous."

"These benefits may even allow you to directly step into the realm of a Great Heavenly Venerable!"

"If I'm not mistaken, this time rift was left behind by the Holy Spirit Ancient Tree."

"After you merge with it in this world, we will be able to return to the present."

Hongmeng Primordial World?

Chaos Immortal Dao?

That's right.

Hearing Kidney Deficiency's words, Chen Chang'an's heart suddenly became extremely certain.

This was the world he felt inside the Holy Spirit Ancient Tree!

Unexpectedly, they were directly sent here through that time rift, which surprised Chen Chang'an.

"What about the bad news?" Chen Chang'an asked again.

Kidney Deficiency said, "Uh, the bad news is that our current situation is not very good."

"In this world, there are quite a few Immortal Emperor-level powerhouses, so you have to be careful when the time comes."

"Immortal Emperor-level existences in the future are equivalent to Saint-level existences."

In fact, they are even stronger than Saint-level existences in terms of strength.

Because at this time, the Heavenly Dao of the Formless World is perfect and flawless, and all the ancient creatures still exist.

Kidney Deficiency continued, "Also, there are three Immortal Emperor-level lineages guarding the Holy Spirit Fruit Tree, so it won't be easy for us to get close."

"I understand." Chen Chang'an nodded in response.

After that, he sat cross-legged in place, preparing to cultivate and heal his injuries.

While practicing his cultivation, Chen Chang'an also opened his personal space, wanting to take out some elixirs to replenish himself.

As early as when he set off for the Great Wilderness, he had prepared a lot of elixirs just in case.

Now it happened to come in handy.

However, when Chen Chang'an opened his inner space, he was dumbfounded.

He saw that his inner space was completely empty, and the elixirs he had stored had turned into ashes, not even a trace left.

This...?

Although he had anticipated this result, when he saw that the situation was indeed like this, Chen Chang'an couldn't help but feel a bit upset.

These were all elixirs he had painstakingly accumulated!

To have them all become useless before even using them, it was a huge loss.

Fortunately, the Holy Medicine he extorted from Kidney Xu had already been transferred to Hidden Dao Mountain, otherwise he would have really lost everything.

"No, I need to quickly find something to restore myself."

Saying that, Chen Chang'an's gaze began to scan the surroundings.

With years of experience, he could tell at a glance that this place should be abundant in Spirit Medicine, especially Holy Medicine. It shouldn't be difficult to find some herbs here to stabilize his injuries.

"Spiritual Herb of Profound Spirit?"

Soon, Chen Chang'an discovered a plant not far away, emitting a misty and ethereal aura. It was a top-grade Spiritual Herb of Profound Spirit.

As a practitioner of alchemy, Chen Chang'an naturally had knowledge and proficiency in alchemy. Although his level was not too high, it was not difficult for him to refine some elixirs to recover from injuries.

"Huh? Why are there so many? Is this Healing Holy Medicine? Dream Profound Sacred Spirit Fruit?"

Soon after collecting the Spiritual Herb of Profound Spirit, Chen Chang'an took a few steps forward and found that there seemed to be an excessive amount of herbs in the surroundings.

Although there were no high-quality Immortal Level herbs appearing, there were dozens of top-grade Spirit Medicine-level herbs.

Moreover, there were no Demonic Beasts guarding the area, which was obviously abnormal.

Kidney Xu immediately scoffed at this:

"Kid, what's so abnormal about this? Do you think this is still the era where everyone is a bandit in the mortal world?"

Hearing Kidney Xu's words, Chen Chang'an didn't bother to think about it.

He immediately selected several herbs he needed from among these spiritual herbs and began alchemy.

"Old man, my cultivation level is not there right now, help me out."

"Alright." Kidney Xu didn't refuse and activated his own mana to assist Chen Chang'an in alchemy.

Buzz buzz buzz!

"Phew, it's done!"

After a period of alchemical operations, finally, with a melodious sound, Chen Chang'an's hand was unexpectedly holding a crystal-clear pill.

Without hesitation, Chen Chang'an swallowed the pill.

Suddenly, a surge of heat swept through his whole body, making Chen Chang'an feel warm all over.

The Dao Foundation and mana damaged by the Time Channel also began to recover little by little.

"Fortunately, although this Spirit Pill is not of a high grade and far from being able to fully recover my injuries, it at least stabilizes them."

After a while, as he finished his meditation, Chen Chang'an opened his eyes and felt the changes in his body. He let out a long breath.

Although the Spiritual Pill of Profound Spirit was a good Healing Holy Medicine, its grade was too low, only around the level of a Seventh Grade Spirit Pill. Even if its quality was top-grade, it still couldn't heal his injuries.

After all, Chen Chang'an knew his own situation. Even if he didn't consider his spiritual power, purely in terms of physical strength, it was at least at the level of a Heavenly Venerable's body.

To treat injuries to this level of physical body, it was impossible without a Ninth Grade Immortal Pill as a starting point.

However, Ninth Grade Immortal Pills were used to repair Dao Foundation and were simply a fantasy.

It wasn't that he couldn't refine them, but rather, he didn't have the materials.

"It's a pity that there's no more Spiritual Herb of Profound Spirit, otherwise I could refine a few more pills to provide some guarantee for recovery."

Shaking his head and dismissing the unrealistic idea from his mind, Chen Chang'an stood up and prepared to go elsewhere to see if he could encounter other Spirit Medicine.

"You audacious thief, how dare you steal the Immortal Medicine of my Profound Heaven Sect?!"

"Watch my sword!"

However, just as Chen Chang'an had taken only a few steps, suddenly, a cold shout came from the sky in front of him.

Then, a graceful figure appeared there.

Accompanying that figure was an extremely sharp sword aura.

The sword aura swept through, tearing through the heavens and earth!
