Chapter 493: Chapter 189: Those Things About the Immortal Realm!_1

Although in recent years Chen Chang’an had been rarely showing himself in front of the beings of other realms, since the integration of the three thousand realms, his name, Supreme Saint Chen Chang’an, had already spread throughout the entire three thousand realms.

As one of the three thousand realms, Tianyuan World was naturally among the first to be affected.

Even before the integration process had begun, they had heard about the great name of Supreme Saint Chen Chang’an!

Moreover, after the integration of the three thousand realms, when Chen Chang’an revealed his Dharma Body above the Holy Palace, suppressing the four Great Heavenly Venerates with the technique encompassing the Ten Thousand Laws.

The name of Supreme Saint Chen Chang’an was engraved onto the hearts of every disciple!

A single man who slaughtered four great Semi-Saints! Who in the world could possibly do such a thing?

None!

Except for this man, there is none other!

Oh, wait, there’s also that one from the Demon Path, Emperor Song!

But it’s not the same, he’s from the underworld, unsuitable to worship.

People tend to worship the strong, and these female disciples were no exception.

Therefore, in their hearts, Chen Chang’an morphed into the perfect subject of pursuit for their entire lives, a male god in its entirety!

Originally, they thought they would never have the chance to meet such a great figure in this life. But unexpectedly, one day they heard that the old ancestor of their sect had suddenly awakened and confirmed that Tianshui Sect, where the Supreme Saint Chen Chang’an was located, turned out to be from the same source as Taiyi Sect.

Two sects from the same origin!

And Supreme Saint Chen Chang’an, being their Uncle Master in both name and reality, made everyone go crazy.

Even those who opposed him went crazy!

Think about it. Supreme Saint Chen Chang’an is my dear Uncle Master! My God, what kind of words can describe my emotions at this moment?

Surprise?

Elation?

Or an uncontrollable jubilation?

Either way, everyone was able to keep their composure!

"Good morning, junior fellow disciples," said Chen Chang’an. Chen Chang’an hadn’t expected his arrival to create such a high tide of emotions among these disciples. Rather than avoiding this, he stepped forward and greeted the disciples.

He was refined and approachable. My god, we truly have a treasure as our Uncle Master!

And Chen Chang’an’s approach gained him the hearts of these disciples in an instant.

Because of his constant reading and the added high-quality Literary Qi, Chen Chang’an’s every move was surrounded by a refined and scholarly aura.

This air of refinement, coupled with the support from his attainment of Supreme Saint status, had formed a unique aura of Heaven and Earth.

Under this aura, even if Chen Chang’an did nothing, he seemed to be out of the ordinary at all times!

Just standing there casually, he acted as a beacon for the righteous energy of Heaven and Earth; anyone who so much as glanced at him would feel a sense of serenity.

Naturally, these female disciples were no exception.

Thus, upon seeing Chen Chang’an, they fell into a silly daze.

"Good morning... Uncle Master."

Finally, after a long spell of being in a daze, one or two of the disciples finally came back to their senses and hastily greeted Chen Chang’an, their blushing.

"Mm, good morning." In response to these disciples’ greetings, Chen Chang’an responded with a slight smile, and then continued on his way into the Taiyi Sect without change in his aim.

Who knows how long he walked, when Chen Chang’an looked up, he found himself at the Taiyi Sect’s scripture repository.

"Might as well take a look since I’m here."

Perhaps it was a whimsical decision, or perhaps it was fate.

Chen Chang’anself-confessed that over these ten plus years he had read nearly all the miscellaneous books in the world, but he had always held onto one ritual.

That was whenever he encountered a scripture repository, he must go in and take a look, and this time was no exception.

"Greetings, Uncle Master Chen." The moment Chen Chang’an stepped forward, the disciple on duty at the scripture repository immediately gave him a respectful salute.

"May I go in and take a look?" Chen Chang’an asked.

The scripture repository is the most important part of every sect. Even though they are now merged, Chen Chang’an was not sure if they would let him enter.

"Uncle Master, you may," replied the disciple with a slight bow.

"The Ancestor has stated that if Uncle Master was to come to the scripture repository, he can freely move about all floors and take away any books until he is satisfied and ready to leave."

"That’s good then. I’ll be heading in," Chen Chang’an said, nodding his head. He never expected the old ancestor to have everything arranged already.

"Take your time, Uncle Master." The disciple gave another respectful salute.

Hum, hum, hum~!

Soon after bidding farewell to this disciple, Chen Chang’an took a step and headed straight into the scripture repository.

Upon entering, Chen Chang’an found that the number of books in the Taiyi Sect was much more than he had anticipated.

However, this wasn’t entirely unexpected.

After all, Taiyi Sect’s predecessor was a daoist sect that once dominated a great era; even though its former lineage isn’t around anymore.

But as the sect with the highest level of restoration after the fall of Taiyi Immortal Sect, naturally, the depth of Taiyi Sect’s heritage should not be underestimated.

The number of scriptures is an important measure of a sect’s lineage; thus, obviously, there wouldn’t be too few scriptures in the Taiyi Sect.

The vast number of books immediately aroused Chen Chang’an’s interest, and he quickly started searching through the bookshelves, hoping to find something interesting.

However, Chen Chang’an was quickly disappointed.

While the Taiyi Sect and the Tianshui Sect were undoubtedly from the same source, the types of books stored in both were almost identical.

Even the more obscure tales that Chen Chang’an found here were generally also in the Tianshui sect’s scripture repository atop Daozang Mountain.

The difference was only that one was a reprinted edition and the other was the original.

This was somewhat unexpected.

However, Chen Chang’an was not too disheartened.

There weren’t many books in the world to begin with. Apart from useful technical scriptures, other books like tales or secret stories were basically reprinted and kept in every scripture repository. For cultivators, reprinting books was not a big project.

So, it’s not unusual that he couldn’t find a new book here. Instead, if he could find a new one, that would indeed be strange.

Of course, Chen Chang’an did not feel that his visit was wasted. After all, didn’t he still collect a few originals? Even if he couldn’t find anything new, collecting some originals wouldn’t be too bad.

Strangely enough, ever since he had become addicted to reading, Chen Chang’an had developed a certain fondness for collecting those original editions.

It was probably part of his hobbies.

So, Chen Chang’an’s goal changed from finding new books to collecting original editions.

"Huh? What’s this?"

However, just as Chen Chang’an was about to finish his collection, he spotted a book in the corner of a bookshelf on the second floor.

"Things about the Immortal Realm!"

"Things about the Immortal Realm?"

Upon seeing the title, Chen Chang’an was unexpectedly taken aback.

The title was casual, so was the book itself. It was placed in unseen corner acting as doorstop, with only the corner of the book exposed.

The location was secret, and if Chen Chang’an’s eyes had not passed by accidentally, it would likely go unnoticed.

The term ’Immortal Realm’ was not new to Chen Chang’an. He had often heard this term from the old fellow Shen Xuzi.

Here, the ’immortal realm’ referred to is not any one of the three thousand Wuxiang realms, but one of the highest upper realms that were rumored to exist.

It was said that there were supreme Immortals who could open Heaven and Earth with a blink and create the Daoist Realm with a single thought.

Naturally, Chen Chang’an was curious about such a world.

So, without much thought, he picked up the book to read.
