Reading Is Holy! Exposed By My Junior Sister!

173. Chapter 170 Ziwan Goes Up The Mountain And His Faith Takes Shape

"Senior Brother, Xuanqingzi Senior Brother is looking for you."

Just when Mao Ruxue had barely settled down for a few days, he suddenly saw Mao Ruxue bringing Xuanqingzi up to the attic. Xuanqingzi had brought someone with him.

The person he brought was a young girl, and that girl was none other than Li Ziwan.

Upon learning that Xuanqingzi had come, Chen Chang'an, who rarely moved from his recliner, shifted slightly and sat down at the stone table.

Soon, Xuanqingzi and the other two walked in.

"Senior Brother Xuanqingzi, Senior Brother, you guys talk, I'll continue to go back to farming," Mao Ruxue said, sending Xuanqingzi and the others up the mountain. It was clear that she still cared about the Spirit Field she obtained a few days ago.

"Senior Brother, you came to find me?" After Mao Ruxue left, Chen Chang'an looked at Xuanqingzi and then at Li Ziwan behind him.

"Junior Brother, Senior Brother has something he wants to ask for your help with, can you?" Xuanqingzi said.

"Senior Brother, whatever it is, just say it, it's no problem," Chen Chang'an nodded. He probably already guessed why Xuanqingzi had come.

If he guessed correctly, it was most likely related to the girl Li Ziwan in front of him.

Sure enough, the next moment, he heard Xuanqingzi say, "Junior Brother, this child Ziwan is a good seedling, it's such a waste for her to stay with us."

"So I want to see if you can take her in here, just treat her as an ordinary disciple."

"Senior Brother, isn't this inappropriate?" Chen Chang'an fell into contemplation upon hearing this.

Although he also liked this girl Li Ziwan, he hadn't thought about bringing her up the mountain like this.

After hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Xuanqingzi sighed and said, "Junior Brother, we didn't want to either, but this child's talent, you've seen it, it's truly stunning."

"And her character is excellent."

"You know the level of our sect, if we were to cultivate this child, it's not that it can't be done, but it definitely won't go far. So, please consider it, Junior Brother."

After Xuanqingzi finished speaking, Chen Chang'an nodded in agreement.

Indeed, Li Ziwan's talent was really good. Even with Mao Ruxue interfering, she was still the undisputed representative of the younger generation of the Heavenly Water Sect.

At least, among the disciples of the Heavenly Water Sect that Chen Chang'an knew, she was the only one who had condensed four Heavenly Water Stars so far.

Indeed, it would be a bit of a waste to not cultivate such a talented disciple.

However, what puzzled Chen Chang'an was that if he remembered correctly, Li Ziwan's master should be Bai Yunzi, so why was Xuanqingzi, this senior brother, bringing her here?

Well, that didn't matter.

The fact that Li Ziwan could be brought here meant that Xuanqingzi and Bai Yunzi had discussed it, and there might even be Li Daoran's approval.

Thinking of this, Chen Chang'an looked at Li Ziwan.

"Ziwan, what do you think? Are you willing to cultivate at my Hidden Dao Mountain?"

"Master Uncle, Disciple is willing to follow Master Uncle's orders." Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Li Ziwan glanced at Xuanqingzi, and after seeing that he didn't object, she respectfully knelt down and bowed to Chen Chang'an.

Upon hearing this, Chen Chang'an nodded and said, "Alright, since you want to stay, then stay. Later, you will follow me to the main hall to pay respects, and then let Ruxue take you to the foot of the mountain to choose a Spirit Field."

Li Ziwan quickly bowed again and said, "Thank you, Master Uncle."

"Chang'an, I'll leave this child to you, thank you." Xuanqingzi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Chen Chang'an agree.

"Senior Brother, what you said is not true. If Ziwan is willing to come to my peak, it is my good fortune." Chen Chang'an shook his head.

After some more small talk, Chen Chang'an sent Xuanqingzi away.

"Ziwan, come with me." Chen Chang'an said to Li Ziwan.

"Yes, Master Uncle." Li Ziwan nodded and followed.

In a short while, Chen Chang'an led Li Ziwan straight to the main hall of Hidden Dao Mountain.

Above the hall at this moment, there were neatly arranged hundreds of spirit tablets.

These were the spirit tablets of the ancestors of Hidden Dao Mountain, and the ones appearing here were the deputy spirit tablets.

In addition to the deputy spirit tablets, there were also corresponding main spirit tablets enshrined in the Lingge of the back mountain of the main peak, Heavenly Water Peak.

Originally, there wouldn't be any deputy spirit tablets, but because the Lingge of the Heavenly Water Sect only opened every few decades, many peaks had prepared deputy spirit tablets.

This way, it was much more convenient for ordinary worship and such.

"Let's offer incense to our Master Uncles and Ancestors." After arriving here, Chen Chang'an said to Li Ziwan.

"Okay, Shishu." Li Ziwan nodded and walked over to light three incense sticks and began to pay her respects.

This is called lighting the Spirit Incense.

Once the Spirit Incense is lit, it signifies that this disciple has been recognized by the sect and is now a disciple of the mountain.

Usually, every new disciple would light nine incense sticks as a sign of respect to the sect.

Six incense sticks are used to pay respects to the sect, while three incense sticks are used to pay respects to the mountain gate.

However, because Li Ziwan transferred from another peak, she only needs to light three incense sticks.

"Shishu, I'm done." After a while, Li Ziwan finished paying her respects.

At this moment, her identity changed from a disciple of Dao Seeking Peak to a disciple of Hidden Dao Mountain.

"Alright, now follow me to the foot of the mountain." Chen Chang'an nodded and led Li Ziwan straight to the foot of the mountain.

"Shimei, later you can help Ziwan choose a Spirit Field."

As soon as they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Chen Chang'an found Mao Ruxue and informed her about Li Ziwan's situation, and then gave her instructions.

"Okay, Shixiong." Mao Ruxue nodded in agreement.

"Then you two can go ahead, I'll go back to my cultivation on the mountain." Seeing that everything was settled, Chen Chang'an planned to leave.

"Take care, Shixiong." Mao Ruxue waved her hand.

Then, she took Li Ziwan to choose a Spirit Field, full of enthusiasm along the way.

Time passed quickly, and two months went by in the blink of an eye.

During these two months, the new disciples who joined Hidden Dao Mountain gradually completed their transition in status and began to integrate into the life of Hidden Dao Mountain.

In the elegant hall, Chen Chang'an's life remained unchanged.

In these two months, there was almost nothing that required his intervention, so he leisurely lay on the recliner in front of the courtyard for a long time.

It is worth mentioning that Xiaoduo fell into a deep sleep in the first month.

Chen Chang'an didn't know whether Xiaoduo's sleep was good or bad, but according to Kidney Deficiency, this time Xiaoduo's sleep was a transformation. It was accepting the inheritance left by the previous generation of the Prison Suppressing Divine Elephant. After it woke up, its strength would rise to a new level.

Undoubtedly, this was a good thing.

But it was also a bad thing because with Xiaoduo's sleep, Chen Chang'an lost something to shade him from the sun since that day.

As a result, after a month, he had slight dark circles under his eyes.

Of course, this was an illusion.

With his current physique as a Great Heavenly Venerable, not to mention being exposed to the sun, even if he was thrown into those terrifying heavenly fires, nothing would happen to him.

Not to mention that he also cultivated the Hell Suppressing Divine Elephant, a buff-level Divine Ability physique, so it was impossible for him to be harmed.

"Old man, what time is it now?" In the courtyard, Chen Chang'an opened his sleepy eyes and asked Kidney Deficiency.

His whole person was in such a bad state that he was on the verge of writing "I'm tired" on his face.

Yes, he was tired. Chen Chang'an realized for the first time that when a person had nothing to do, they would really get sick of doing nothing.

This kind of illness was no less than that of those who worked hard every day.

"What time is it when the sun is shining on your butt?" Kidney Deficiency replied while taking care of the flowers and plants in the courtyard, mainly watering them with Lingquan.

Great Dao Essence!

This was something it had finally managed to get from Chen Chang'an after pestering him for a long time, so it couldn't be wasted.

Then, Kidney Deficiency looked at Chen Chang'an with a bit of doubt and asked:

"But, kid, are you sure that the cauldron you left on the mountain is a successfully refined Dao Weapon?"

"Will there be any problems?" In Kidney Deficiency's doubt, there was also a hint of worry.

With its current proximity, if anything happened to the large cauldron Dao Weapon on the mountaintop, its true body would be the first to be affected. How could it not worry?

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Chen Chang'an was taken aback by Kidney Deficiency's words. He really hadn't noticed anything.

Kidney Deficiency shook its head:

"There's no big problem, but just now I felt it tremble a bit, as if something terrifying was happening. There was a kind of aura that made me feel frightened."

"That doesn't seem like a normal tremor, so I wanted to ask if it was caused by you."

"By the way, this trembling happened once a few days ago, but it wasn't as intense as this time."

"What? Old man, are you saying that the Taiyuan Cauldron trembled?" Chen Chang'an was immediately stunned when he heard Kidney Deficiency's words. He really didn't know about this.

Don't say you don't know, he hasn't felt anything for the past few days.

However, Chen Chang'an did not doubt the authenticity of Kidney Deficiency's words.

Kidney Deficiency is an Immortal Level creature, even though his abilities are not outstanding, his sensory awareness has not diminished much.

Since he said that the Taiyuan Cauldron had trembled, it should not be false.

"Old man, how long has this been happening?" Chen Chang'an frowned and asked.

Kidney Deficiency said, "It hasn't been long, just three days ago and now."

"I'm going to take a look now." Chen Chang'an made a decision in the next moment.

"Hey, kid, wait for me, I'm going too." Kidney Deficiency immediately followed.

Soon, the two arrived at the mountaintop.

Here, the Taiyuan Cauldron stood on a central altar.

However, at this moment, the Taiyuan Cauldron had undergone significant changes compared to two months ago.

Firstly, the body of the cauldron. Two months ago, the Taiyuan Cauldron was still dark black, but now there were streaks of metallic light beneath that dark black color.

In addition to the added metallic luster, there were several finger-thick beams of light on the four sides of the Taiyuan Cauldron.

These beams of light were all pure white, varying in thickness, and above them carried strands of holy aura.

They came from countless distant places in the sky, ultimately converging into the Taiyuan Cauldron, strand by strand, beam by beam.

Under the envelopment of these auras, the entire Taiyuan Cauldron seemed to have undergone sublimation.

"What is this?"

"What's going on?"

Kidney Deficiency was a little confused, the holy aura made him feel at a loss.

He was very clear about the Taiyuan Cauldron. He knew that this thing was refined by Chen Chang'an using the Confucian method as the foundation, to be used as an eye formation on Hidden Dao Mountain, and he had done the same.

But now, what was this situation?

"Kid, seriously tell me, are you really sure you didn't do anything?"

Kidney Deficiency looked at Chen Chang'an, not believing that this was not done by Chen Chang'an.

It wasn't that Kidney Deficiency was stubbornly clinging to this question, but he could clearly feel that the holy aura lingering around the Taiyuan Cauldron at this moment was very powerful, even stronger than any other aura he had ever seen before!

It had even reached the level of Great Dao's aura!

Great Dao's aura!

What concept was this!

"Old man, whether you believe it or not, I really didn't do this." Faced with Kidney Deficiency's words, Chen Chang'an helplessly shook his head.

If he could, he would also like to take credit for this pure white aura, but unfortunately, it really wasn't him!

Saying that, Chen Chang'an walked forward and carefully felt the aura with his hand.

However, in the instant his hand reached out, it passed by the aura.

"What is this?"

Now Chen Chang'an was also confused.

This aura was clearly visible, but it couldn't be touched, it had already surpassed his understanding.

"Kid, isn't this cauldron under your control? Why don't you try to mentally connect with it?" Kidney Deficiency suggested from the side.

Chen Chang'an nodded and tried it as suggested.

It had to be said that Kidney Deficiency's suggestion was quite reasonable. When he connected his mental power to the inside of the Taiyuan Cauldron, Chen Chang'an immediately noticed something wrong.

He saw that a white space had actually formed inside the original internal space of the Taiyuan Cauldron.

Chen Chang'an didn't know how this white space was formed, but what he could sense was that the endless power of faith filled that white space.

This is the power of faith?!

Chen Chang'an was immediately shocked!

He was very certain that this was the power of faith!

Not because he had seen it before, but when his mental power came into contact with this aura, he suddenly knew it in his heart.

Not only that, but in the instant he came into contact with this aura, Chen Chang'an suddenly felt a clear-headedness.

He could also sense the power of faith that filled the Taiyuan Cauldron, as if he could freely call upon it.

Because this power of faith was generated because of him!

Condensed into tangible faith?!

Chen Chang'an was momentarily stunned.

But then, when he looked at the Taiyuan Cauldron again, Chen Chang'an understood.

This power of faith may not have been generated recently, but rather for a long period of time.

However, because there had never been a good vessel, although they existed, they would not manifest.

Now, with the Taiyuan Cauldron that Chen Chang'an had refined through Confucian methods, it accidentally fulfilled the conditions for manifestation, so they manifested.

However, the only regret was that the currently condensed power of faith was not much, and Chen Chang'an had not found a way to use it.

"Old man, do you know how to use the power of faith?" Chen Chang'an asked Kidney Deficiency Master the next moment.

"I don't know."

Kidney Deficiency Master shook his head, "Kid, you shouldn't ask me such profound questions."

At this moment, he really didn't want to talk to Chen Chang'an.

Faith taking form, it was no longer as simple as a freak.

"But, kid, have you ever thought about transferring your faith to your myriad paths?" Chen Chang'an shook his head, "It can't be transferred, it's too little, even if it is transferred, there is still a big gap."

While speaking, Chen Chang'an's spiritual power was also quickly operating. He was tracing along the direction of these powers of faith, trying to see how they were generated.

If he could find the cause of the generation of the power of faith, it might not be impossible to achieve mass production in the future.

"Huh? Is it like this?"

Soon, Chen Chang'an discovered something special.

He found that the current power of faith mainly came from three places.

The Great Wilderness, the Holy State, and the Underworld!

Chen Chang'an could understand that the Holy State would generate faith, which should be related to his attainment of the Holy Fruit.

After all, with his current status of spreading the Dao throughout the world, it was almost certain that he would gain some faith among the vast human world.

What puzzled Chen Chang'an was the Great Wilderness and the Underworld.

He hadn't even left his real name in these two places, so how could faith be transmitted?

However, soon after Chen Chang'an merged his spiritual power into the source of these powers of faith, he discovered the reason.

At this moment, temples were rising up all over the Great Wilderness.

Inside the temples, there were statues standing, and the appearance of those statues was exactly the same as his Great Wilderness Heavenly Venerable's Law Manifestation.

It seemed that these statues had been worshipped by the spirits of the Great Wilderness, thus giving rise to faith.

The same was true in the Underworld, except that the gods worshipped in the Underworld were in the form of Emperor Song when he was Emperor.

Wearing a mask, dressed in a black robe, with a stern and cold expression.

Chen Chang'an also noticed that these powers of faith seemed to have gone through the Six Paths of Reincarnation before being transmitted back and gathered in the Taiyuan Cauldron.

In other words, because of the existence of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, he was able to collect this condensed power of faith.

"Huh? What's this?"

"Why is the power of faith here so rich?"

Suddenly, Chen Chang'an's expression became astonished because he found that among all the returning pillars of faith, there was one place where the richness was particularly pronounced.

Not only was it rich, but there was not a single flaw.

The power of faith gathered from this place could even be directly used!

This immediately made Chen Chang'an curious because if all the power of faith could be so pure, it meant that he could freely use these powers of faith.

This matter had to be clarified!

The next moment, Chen Chang'an activated his spiritual power to search for it. He wanted to find the source of this power of faith.

However, when he saw the source clearly, Chen Chang'an was inexplicably stunned.

Just because that place turned out to be... the Holy Realm??
