Chapter 157: Chapter 101: The Anecdote of Tianshui, Eventually Becoming the True King Mao Ruxue!_3
No matter how the world changes, lecherous old men will always stay the same.
Thinking about my past life...
Uh, never mind, let’s not think about that.
Chen Chang’an shook his head, casting these thoughts aside. He then followed the mountain trail back to the scripture library.
However, this time, the place he headed straight for was not his room, but the kitchen.
Having just acquired some celestial meat from the Void Demon Whale, he couldn’t just not try it.
High-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods. Chen Chang’an didn’t quite understand this before, but he does now.
Because he simply took out the Void Celestial Meat, didn’t even put it in the pot, just accidentally touched it with the flame for a moment.
Instantly, a strange rich fragrance wafted from the meat.
Endlessly enticing. Upon taking a sniff, Chen Chang’an almost surrendered entirely to the smell.
Then, Chen Chang’an refrained from doing anything complex.
He simply took some condiments given by other peak disciples, lit up charcoal, and placed the celestial whale meat directly on it to grill.
Sizzling and crackling sounds filled the air.
In no time, the rich aroma of grilled meat permeated the entire mountain.
Once it was ready, Chen Chang’an tore a piece off and put it in his mouth.
The moment the grilled celestial whale meat entered his mouth, Chen Chang’an suddenly felt that his life had regained meaning.
"Hmm, not bad, not bad."
This damn life of his.
...
Time passed leisurely. Chen Chang’an spent his days eating and sleeping in Daozang Mountain while the days slipped away.
In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.
While major events didn’t transpire in the past three months, small ones definitely did occur.
The first matter related to the Tianshui Sect.
For the Tianshui Sect, those three months saw them slowly emerging from the grief of Dao Tian’s passing.
On the seventh evening following Dao Tian’s burial, the Tianshui Sect Master, Li Daoran, issued a decree allowing the opening of all secret realms within the Sect for disciples to cultivate to their heart’s content.
In addition to this, they were also allowed to travel to perilous secret realms such as the Abyss and Silent Death Sea to treasure hunt, whether they were disciples or Sect Elders. If they were to fall during the process, the Sect would support their pathways of the Dao.
With the issuance of this order, a wave of shock swept over the entire Tianshui Sect.
Attribute it to Dao Tian, the Tianshui Sect had strongly shut off passages leading to the Abyss and the like.
On the surface, this was done to prevent Sect Elders or the like from entering such realms.
The reason being simple—it was too risky!
Undoubtedly, these actions served well in preserving the legacies within the Sect and protecting the lives of various Mountain Lords and Sect Elders to a large extent.
However, while it safeguarded these Sect Elders and Mountain Lords, it also restricted those who craved further growth.
Cultivation in itself involves defying the heavens, and the Tianshui Sect’s actions openly hindered their progression.
When this decision was publicized, many people were puzzled.
But what could they do? They had no choice but to comply with the strict rules of the Sect.
Now that the Sect had reopened this path, it signaled restored hope for these Mountain Lords and Sect Elders.
As for the probable risks of death?
Being a cultivator involves courting death. Without risking death, how can one defy the heavens?
So, following the issuance of Li Daoran’s order, all peaks of the Tianshui Sect were instantly bustling with activity.
Of course, none of this had anything to do with Chen Chang’an.
The second matter involved the Divine Court of Central Continent.
The impact of this event was far from minor.
Word was that the new Night God Chang Ge, who acted as the successor to the previous Night God, only went to the Taiyi Sect to make an appearance on the day he assumed the title. After that, he vanished without a trace.
He even stood up the Regeneration Divine Emperor and the Separation Divine Emperor of the Divine Court of the Central Continent, promising to attend the banquet they held in his honor, but never actually showed up, leaving them waiting.
This act of promise-breaking made these two Divine Emperors, who were initially ready to assert their dominance, become the laughing stock of the Night God’s field.
It was said that the faces of the Regeneration Divine Emperor and the Separation Divine Emperor darkened significantly, their eyes bloodshot even to the present day.
And then, something even crazier happened.
Instead of dealing with their duties, they flew about throughout the territories of Central Continent day in and day out, not for any other reason, but in pursuit of this new Night God. Their actions were incredibly maniacal.
This ridiculous behavior of theirs put the operation of the Divine Court of Central Continent into complete standstill for the past three months.
This caused immense fright amongst the people in the territories, the impact was terrifically horrifying.
Of course, this had nothing to do with Chen Chang’an either—he hadn’t even heard about this incident.
If it wasn’t for a disciple named Li Char Siu who came up the mountain to deliver some goods and was loose-lipped, Chen Chang’an wouldn’t have had the slightest clue about this event.
However, he just took note of it and that’s it.
As for the Divine Court of Central Continent’s new Night God, Chen Chang’an had no interest in caring about it.
Then came the third event.
This one was quite intriguing.
Not cryptic-intriguing, but fantastical-intriguing.
The cause of this event traces back a few days ago, when the Ten Thousand Swords Sect’s seventh realm Sword Master, who had originally blockaded the Tianshui Sect’s path at the Immortal Sword City, abruptly faced a terrifying assassination. It was said this assassination was initiated by an unknown masked woman.
