Chen Changâan stood in the yard, his mind filled with lingering concerns.
He was still thinking about the demise of Dao Tian the Elder.
Chen Changâan could not have been mistaken.
Seeing Dao Tian the Elder on the mountain a few days ago, Chen Changâan could conclude that although Dao Tian the Elder was depleted at his foundation, guzzling his last drops of energy,
as long as he did not strain himself, living another year or two should not have been out of the question.
If you add the spiritual tea that Chen offered,
it wouldnât be able to grant eternal life but it should have enabled him to live a couple more years without any problem.
The only difference being, during these few years, he would not have been able to practice his skills anymore.
However, what Chen Changâan did not expect was that Dao Tian chose to pass on in this way.
Giving up the time he could have lived for another two or three years, he chose to forcefully ascend to a higher realm.
Only to guide his Dao essence after death with a clear consciousness, allowing it to be born into goodness and bless his successors.
Chen Changâan did not know how to evaluate Dao Tian the Elderâs choice.
But, it was Dao Tian the Elderâs decision, which he respected.
After thinking a lot about it, Chen Changâan took out the jade finger-cot.
Looking at the jade finger-cot, he fell into deep thought again.
Is he truly the only one suitable for the inheritance of the Night God?
This was not the case in Chen Changâanâs view.
At least when Dao Tian the Elder spoke to him before, it did not seem so.
Those words were just Dao Tian the Elder tricking him.
However, now it is.
Chen Changâan could feel that at this moment, the jade finger-cot had a connection with him as if it was his own flesh and blood.
No one else would be able to activate what lies inside it unless it is him.
Undoubtedly, this was the means Dao Tian the Elder left behind before his death.
He designated Chen Changâan to be the heir of the next Night God!
From the finger-cot, Chen Changâan could sense a very strong power.
If he merged with this power, he indeed might be able to break through to the seventh realm.
Itâs a pity.
The reality was destined to disappoint Dao Tian the Elder.
He might never know in his life.
This seemingly invincible power in his eyes was merely a passing guest to Chen Changâan.
"Junior sister, go and suppress the corpse of that old demon first."
Chen Changâan did not directly choose to merge with this authority.
Compared to merging with this authority, there were more important things to do right now.
"Oh, yes, senior brother."
Mao Ruxue nodded, then took Cheng Huangâs corpse to be suppressed at the bottom of the mountain.
Cheng Huang died pathetically, his Dao essence surged up boundlessly as demonic qi on his body.
As soon as it was buried beneath Dao Zang Mountain, it immediately tainted that place into a realm of boundless demonic qi.
It was terrifying.
Undoubtedly, in a few years, a massive demon land mystery realm would emerge here.
"Senior brother, is it really alright to do this?"
After dealing with Cheng Huangâs corpse, Mao Ruxue was still somewhat worried.
"Itâs fine."
Chen Changâan shook his head.
"Junior sister, after the matter of Elder Dao Tian is over, you should go down the mountain for practice."
"I see you have already broken through the Dharma aspect, itâs time to temper your heart in the world again."
After that, Chen Changâan continued.
In fact, what he meant by that was to give Mao Ruxue a leave.
Having just acquired the âTrue Kingâ fruit position in Demon Path, Mao Ruxue only had the realm, not the corresponding Dharma, resulting in an unstable foundation.
She needed time to temper herself.
At this point, the sooner she retreats the better, thereâs no benefit to delaying.
"Alright, senior brother, I got it."
Mao Ruxue was startled at his words, as it turned out to be exactly what she wanted to discuss with Chen Changâan.
However, given that the last time she used "tempering heart in the world" as an excuse was too recent, she hadnât figured out how to bring it up to Chen Changâan.
But now Chen Changâan brought it up himself, which conveniently solved her dilemma.
"Alright, go get prepared."
Chen Changâan waved his hand and said,
"Junior sister, be sure to gain plenty of experience when you go down the mountain this time, strive to hone your cultivation to flawlessness, and increase your combat power."
"The future of the sect will rely on you."
"Thank you, senior brother." Mao Ruxue broke into an excited smile.
His words came just at the right moment, as if he knew she needed time to retreat.
Where could you find such a considerate senior brother!
After that, Mao Ruxue went down to prepare earnestly.
Time flowed.
In the blink of an eye, several days passed.
During these days, Tianshui Sect was shrouded in deep mourning.
All disciples who were out of the sect hurried back to bid farewell to Dao Tian the Elder.
The high-ranking Great Elder and other Elders of the Council, also woke up from their retreats one after another. While they were paying homage to Dao Tian the Elder, they were also guarding the surroundings of the Tianshui Sect, defending against potential strong enemies.
No one dared to be careless.
They all kept their Dao methods ready at all times, preparing for a potential battle that could break out at any moment.
Fortunately, there was no incident in the end.
Even at the worst times, there were only a few powerful presences that swept over the perimeter of Tianshuiâs territory a few times.
