Chapter 351: Chapter 143: Daluo Achieves Dao, Yuxuan Tianlao Asks about Immortality!_3

Suddenly, a thought occurred to Chen Chang’an, startling him and shattering his previous calm.

At this moment, Chen Chang’an felt like he had fallen into a paradox.

According to Shen Xuzi, the first Great Dao flower in that space was taken there by himself in the past.

Yet, Chen Chang’an clearly remembered that all the Great Dao flowers he had came from that space!

In other words, it was because he brought the Great Dao flower from the Tai Xuan Secret Realm to the past that the current Tai Xuan Secret Realm now had the Great Dao flower.

It existed in the present because it was brought to the past, and without being brought to the past, it would not exist in the present.

But then, who could tell him, how did the first Great Dao flower come into existence in order for this to happen?

Did it appear out of thin air?

That’s absurd, isn’t it?

Chen Chang’an felt like he was stuck in a cycle, one he couldn’t escape.

"Kid, what’s wrong? Why did you suddenly stop talking?" At this point, Shen Xuzi shook Chen Chang’an with an expression of confusion.

He had been just fine a moment ago, why was he suddenly silent? The kid’s been acting weird today.

With Shen Xuzi shaking him, Chen Chang’an regained focus.

He decided to stop pondering this unsolvable problem; further thoughts would only bring him a headache.

"Old man, let me ask you something," said Chen Chang’an suddenly, looking at Shen Xuzi with a slight smile, as if something had occurred to him.

"What question?" Shen Xuzi asked, convinced that his knowledge would not be inferior to Chen Chang’an’s.

Age is a virtue, after all!

"If a very powerful person goes back to the past, could he kill his past self?" Chen Chang’an asked.

Huh?!

Hearing Chen Chang’an’s question, Shen Xuzi paused, this question was obvious, wasn’t it?

He could certainly kill his past self!

He was about to answer immediately.

But, when the words were almost out of his mouth, he stopped abruptly.

Wait, it seems he couldn’t kill his past self after all!

"Kid, I don’t know, what do you think?"

Chen Chang’an shook his head: "I don’t know either, that’s why I’m asking you."

Without waiting for Shen Xuzi to express his confusion, Chen Chang’an turned and walked away.

Only someone with too much time on their hands would bother with such questions.

Instead, he was somewhat concerned about the mountain.

Three days in the Great Wilderness, yet three months had passed in the outside world. He wondered how the girls were doing after these three months.

...

Dao Treasure Mountain.

In the small courtyard of the scripture storage pavilion, Mao Ruxue sat with her cheek resting on one hand, her eyes gazing at the flowers in the courtyard, lost in thought.

It was the third month since her senior brother Chen Chang’an had left the mountain.

Mao Ruxue felt strange with herself.

When her senior brother was around, she didn’t feel much, going about her daily life, eating and drinking with him without a trace of attachment.

But after realizing her senior brother was gone, she felt as if she’d lost her backbone.

She lost enthusiasm in everything.

Mao Ruxue didn’t understand why, but she had indeed lost the zest for life.

When her senior brother Chen Chang’an was around, she enjoyed going down to the foot of the mountain every day to hear the disciples call her "Uncle Master".

But when her senior brother was gone, she found herself losing interest in those things.

Even when Lin Qingxue and Chen Yi awakened very strong Dharma Aspects, she didn’t have much interest in watching.

All she thought about now, it seemed, was waiting for her senior brother to return.

Alas!

Senior Brother, oh Senior Brother, how much longer until you return?

Thinking about it, Mao Ruxue’s expression fell further.

Resting her cheek on her hand, she watched the sunset, sighing in resignation, before standing up to leave.

"What are you doing here instead of cultivating in such nice weather?" A voice suddenly sounded from outside the door just as Mao Ruxue was preparing to leave.

Upon hearing the voice, Mao Ruxue instantly directed her gaze towards the door, only to see her graceful senior brother, clad in white like snow, standing there with a smile on his face.

"Senior Brother! You’re back?!" Seeing Chen Chang’an’s return, Mao Ruxue’s spirit seemed quickly restored as she walked over to greet him.

"Senior Brother."

Then, when she reached Chen Chang’an, a belated realization dawned upon her, prompting her to bow respectfully in greeting.

"Yes, I’m back," Chen Chang’an nodded.

Then, he went into the courtyard with Mao Ruxue.

"Senior Brother, how was your journey and what did you gain?" Once inside the courtyard, Mao Ruxue immediately asked, her curiosity piqued.

"It was okay," Chen Chang’an nodded. "I’ve seen the mountains and rivers, traveled through the world."

"I found my innermost heart there, understood the road ahead."

"Congratulations, Senior Brother," Mao Ruxue congratulated him as soon as she heard this.

"By the way, Junior Sister, anything important happened on the mountain while I was away?" Chen Chang’an asked.

Three months was neither long nor short.

At this critical time of the merging of the three realms, enough could happen in three months.

"Senior Brother, yes, there were some."

"The senior of Taiyi Sect, Jade Xuantian, came looking for you, asking if you could visit when you are free. He has something to discuss with you," said Mao Ruxue.

"Moreover, not long ago, a figure suspected of being a Daluo Immortal emerged from the Great Wilderness, earning him the title of Da Huang Immortal."
