Chapter 58 - 56: Li Daoran Leaves the Pass, Council Meeting in the Grand Hall_1

"Elder Brother, tell me the truth. Were you hiding your true skills all along?"

Meanwhile, inside a well-crafted Flying Boat in the sky over Daozang Mountain, Mao Ruxue asked Chen Chang’an with a skeptical look.

When she asked, her eyes were full of suspicion.

Obviously, Mao Ruxue didn’t believe that someone could suddenly advance from one step to becoming a Great Scholar in just six steps.

In her view, Elder Brother had been playing dumb all along, and he just had no choice but to reveal his true capabilities today.

"Junior Sister, if I say I wasn’t hiding anything, and that my breakthrough was simply because of my unique talent and intense reading, would you believe it?" Chen Chang’an asked with a smile.

"I don’t believe it!" Mao Ruxue shook her head.

Not only did she not believe him, but she also viewed the things that Chen Chang’an had said in the past with suspicion.

There was no doubt that the Elemental Spirit Solution was written by Elder Brother.

After all, he’s a Great Scholar.

How many Great Scholars could there be in this world?

In the palace, they bring prosperity and stability; in the outside world, they quell chaos and vanquish monsters!

A single breath of Heavenly Aura can suppress all unrivaled beings in the world!

If Elder Brother was a Great Scholar before, it wouldn’t be strange for him to make such explanations.

"I knew you wouldn’t believe me."

Chen Chang’an nodded, then continued:

"Alright, Junior Sister, I won’t hide it from you anymore."

"Actually, I am hiding my true abilities now."

"I could easily achieve the rank of Confucian Saint or even Saint Scholar if I wanted."

"Not only that, I also excel in the path of the sword."

"One sword can open the heaven and the earth, another can cut the world into ruin, and it’s badass."

"And I’m not afraid to tell you that in addition to all this, I also possess the Buddha’s Fruit, the Dao Fruit of the Immortal, as well as some skills of the Demon Path - I am actually the biggest demon in this world!"

"Blabbering away, Elder Brother, you’re really full of yourself."

Mao Ruxue sounded incredulous after hearing Chen Chang’an’s words.

"Stop bragging, Elder Brother. You’re claiming to be the biggest demon in the world?"

"Why don’t you just claim to be Emperor Song instead? That would be impressive!"

Am I boasting?

Upon hearing Mao Ruxue’s words, Chen Chang’an couldn’t help but laugh.

But he decided to ignore it.

"Junior Sister, we’re almost there. Let’s head down."

Noticing the mountain peak getting closer beneath them, Chen Chang’an suggested.

"Oh, alright, Elder Brother."

Upon hearing this, Mao Ruxue hastily piloted the Flying Boat downwards.

While controlling the Flying Boat, she continued:

"No, Elder Brother, I also want to learn the Confucian Path."

"You looked really cool in the hall just now."

"I want to learn too!"

"Do you want to learn?"

Chen Chang’an glanced at Mao Ruxue and then laughed.

He pointed to the library below filled with books, and said:

"If you really want to learn, you must first confine yourself.

Then, you have to diligently read the books here for ten years."

"So, do you want to learn? I can teach you if you want."

"Um, um, um~!"

"Elder Brother, I think I’ll pass."

Hearing Chen Chang’an’s words and seeing all the books in the library, Mao Ruxue immediately shook her head like a drum.

It wasn’t that she couldn’t read, but if she had to live like Chen Chang’an...

Cooped up in this small room every day, alone, buried in books...

She would go mad!

"Alright, I’ll stop teasing you."

Chen Chang’an then spoke:

"The path you are taking now combines Dao and Buddhism, both of which are the most righteous and pure paths in the world."

"They are already hard to reconcile."

"If you incorporate the Confucian Path too, the consequences would be beyond what you can bear."

"Besides, to be honest, Junior Sister, you can’t handle the Confucian Path."

"Elder Brother, why can’t I learn the Confucian Path?"

Hearing Chen Chang’an’s words, Mao Ruxue felt confused.

She just didn’t like reading, but if she really needed to immerse herself in books, she thought she could do it.

But why did Elder Brother say that she wouldn’t be able to learn the Confucian Path?

"Junior Sister, because you’re not a ’Saint’!"

.....

Huh? Because I’m not a Saint?

Upon hearing Chen Chang’an’s words, Mao Ruxue instantly became confused.

However, she suddenly thought of something.

She lowered her head, and saw only the undulating waves, not her feet.

Then, she understood.

"Senior Brother, I won’t practice the Confucian Path anymore."

Time flew by, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Everything was normal on top of Daozang Mountain within this half month.

In Tianshui Sect, on this day, Li Daoran, who had been in isolation for half with a month, abruptly came out.

At the same time, Great Elder Li Xuandao, along with a group of Elders from the Council, announced their retreat.

They subsequently closed the Council of Elders, and no longer attended to worldly affairs.

Before leaving, Li Xuandao lifted the prohibition on Chen Chang’an.

Boom Boom Boom~!

On this day, a sound of bells came from Tianshui Peak, the main peak.

Then, two figures appeared in the sky where the sun was rising.

The two figures rushed all the way and finally stopped above Daozang Mountain.

"Uncle Master Chen, Uncle Master Mao, by the command of Sect Master, you are invited to go to the main hall for discussion."

Those were two disciples.

When they arrived above Daozang Mountain, they spoke to Chen Chang’an and Mao Ruxue on the mountain.

"Tell the Sect Master I’ll be there soon."

Chen Chang’an nodded and said.

"Yes, Uncle Master."

The two disciples left with their orders.

Chen Chang’an didn’t linger either, not much time after the two disciples left, he took Mao Ruxue and headed towards Tianshui Peak.

Hum Hum Hum~!

Chen Chang’an directly used the cultivation of a Great Scholar, so when he arrived above the main hall.

Waves of the majestic Heavenly Aura involuntarily spread around.

The majestic force, instantly stirred up the entire Tianshui Peak, making all beings tremble!

At this moment, many people had already gathered at the main hall of Tianshui Peak.

However, even though they were annoyed by Chen Chang’an’s behavior, they didn’t dare to show it on their faces.

That is a Great Scholar, a peerless Great Scholar of Six Realms!

Looking at the whole Tianshui Sect now, how many are there in the Six Realms?

Except for the Great Elder Li Xuandao, there is no one else!

And now Chen Chang’an is in this realm!

Who dares to provoke him? No one dares!

The significant gap between the strength, makes them dare not to fight against Chen Chang’an at all.

"Mountain lord of Daozang Mountain, Chen Chang’an, has arrived~!"

Soon a voice announced his arrival at the entrance of the hall.

Then, Chen Chang’an’s figure appeared in the main hall.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Daoran sitting on the main seat of the hall.

"Sect Master."

Chen Chang’an clasped his hands towards Li Daoran.

"Hmm, Brother Chen, no need for such formalities."

Li Daoran waved his hand, indicating that Chen Chang’an didn’t need to be so formal.

As he spoke, he continued to study Chen Chang’an up and down with his eyes.

Graceful and elegant, as pure as jade!

All over him, strands of Heavenly Aura undulating like an ocean, flowing continuously.

Even though these auras show no abnormal signs, even if he just stood there, it gave people an immense pressure.

This is indeed the most righteous aura in the world, an effortless aura which intimidates without making the slightest effort!

Indeed, he has cultivated a good Heavenly Aura.

Li Daoran couldn’t help but marvel in his heart.

Then, he said:

"Brother Chen."

"When I came out, the Great Elder had already agreed to return the Demon Land to Daozang Mountain."

"The reason you were called here is to discuss the matter of the Demon Land."

"This is the Demon Order, you take a look, do you have anything to add to this matter?"
