Chapter 355: Chapter 144: The Heavenly Dao Sea Opens Again, Ten Dignitaries Gather!_1

"I, Yu Tianzi, wish to see little friend Chen. Might he be available?"

On this day, a figure abruptly appeared in the airspace above the Tianshui Sect - it was Yuxuan Sky Elder.

"Elder Sky need not be so formal, may I know the purpose of your visit?"

As Yuxuan Sky Elder’s form emerged, Chen Chang’an also ascended from the Daozang Mountain.

He stood before Yuxuan Sky Elder and calmly inquired.

As expected of a Supreme Saint, his demeanor is reserved and he speaks sparingly, his aura naturally hidden.

Standing there, it was as if he blended seamlessly into the Heaven and Earth behind him.

The moment he laid eyes on Chen Chang’an, Yuxuan Sky Elder’s heart jolted with surprise. This was his first encounter with Chen Chang’an.

And it was the first time he was so astounded by an individual’s charisma.

This was indeed extraordinary.

As a Heavenly Venerate who survived the era’s end, Yuxuan Sky Elder had encountered countless individuals in his life.

Yet, remarkable beings like Chen Chang’an were incredibly rare.

"I, Yu Tianzi, have the pleasure of meeting little friend Chen." After contemplating for a while, Yuxuan Sky Elder promptly offered Chen Chang’an a bow of respect.

"Daozang Mountain’s Chen Chang’an, greets Elder Sky." Chen Chang’an also returned the politeness.

Yuxuan Sky Elder said, "Young friend, I wish to consult with you regarding some matters. Might we engage in a deeper discussion?"

"Of course, we may. Please, Elder Sky." Chen Chang’an nodded, then gestured for Yuxuan Sky Elder to enter the house for a detailed conversation.

The house they entered was naturally the scripture repository. Upon discovering that Chen Chang’an was still residing in the scripture repository, Yuxuan Sky Elder was momentarily taken aback.

He asked in confusion, "Young friend, why is it..."

Chen Chang’an shook his head: "Elder Sky, whether it’s a humble dwelling or a loft, as long as one cultivates the heart well, that’s all that matters."

"Wouldn’t Elder Sky agree."

"Indeed." Chen Chang’an’s words left Yuxuan Sky Elder momentarily stunned, but he soon nodded in agreement.

Seeing Yuxuan Sky Elder nod in agreement, despite a trace of doubt remaining in his eyes, Chen Chang’an didn’t bother to explain further.

To him, be it the scripture repository or the grand hall of Daozang Mountain, the latter was a place he seldom frequented over the years.

So over time, he developed a disinterest in discussing matters there.

As opposed to that, Daozang Mountain’s scripture repository, with its pavilions, lakes, chirping birds and fragrant scents.

And surrounded by drifting clouds that greeted the sunrise, was a place Chen Chang’an preferred more. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"May I ask, what brings Elder Sky to me this time?"

After leading Yuxuan Sky Elder into the room and seating him down, Chen Chang’an finally asked.

"Young man, I wouldn’t dare to consider you the junior."

Upon hearing Chen Chang’an’s words, Yuxuan Sky Elder immediately rose and shook his head in denial.

"If it’s not too presumptuous, I propose that we treat each other as equals."

"Such a title of junior, I truly am unable to bear."

The Supreme Saint of the Confucian Temple may have lesser cultivation than him, but in terms of status, he was far superior to him.

Practitioners of the Dao respect achievers more, Yuxuan Sky Elder dared not put on airs in front of Chen Chang’an.

Even if he wished to, his Dao Path wouldn’t allow it!

However, Chen Chang’an shook his head:

"Elder Sky, why must you say so? You know I have a duty at the Ministry of Night."

"As a member of the Ministry of Night, there’s nothing inappropriate about dubbing myself the junior in front of Elder Sky."

"Once an elder, always an elder, how can such a relationship change?"

"Young friend, you have really taken me by surprise." Listening to the words of Chen Chang’an, Yuxuan Sky Elder gave a sigh of admiration.

Impressive restraint, this young man is again causing me to see things in a new light.

Following this, the two exchanged pleasantries for a while before Yuxuan Sky Elder revealed his reason for seeking out Chen Chang’an.

He said with a bow:

"Young friend, this is the situation."

"Due to the amalgamation of the three thousand realms, the Laws surrounding the Heavenly Dao Sea have begun to surge erratically."

"As you may know, under normal conditions, the surge of these Laws signals an impending advancement."

"Indeed, as per the indication, the Heavenly Dao Sea is on the verge of ascending once more."

"The ascension of the Heavenly Dao Sea concerns the lifeline of our Wuxiang realm."

"Thus, after consultation with numerous Daoist friends, we have decided to reactivate the Heavenly Dao Sea and convene a meeting of a hundred sects."

"The date has been set for ten days from now."

"I am here today to invite you, young friend, to attend the upcoming Grand Conference of a hundred sects."

"I wonder what your thoughts are on this?"

After saying this, Yuxuan Sky Elder turned his gaze towards Chen Chang’an, his eyes filled with anticipation.

As the initiators of each grand meeting of a hundred sects, the Taiyi Sect has a multitude of considerations.

The most crucial of which, is to invite the most powerful forces in the world to attend.

In the past, Yuxuan Sky Elder wouldn’t have been the one making these arrangements.

But this time was different, this time Chen Chang’an was the Supreme Saint of the Confucian Temple, and inviting a Supreme Saint to the Heavenly Dao Sea conference carries significant implications.

Hence, he made the journey in person.

"Elder Sky, please allow me some time to think over this matter."

Chen Chang’an didn’t respond immediately, instead he replied.

"Take your time to consider, young friend."

Yuxuan Sky Elder nodded, not showing any signs of impatience.

However, he still hoped that Chen Chang’an would agree to attend.

Time continued to tick away,

Without further conversation with Yuxuan Sky Elder, Chen Chang’an stayed in place and began to contemplate.

His gaze was calm, his brow furrowed, as if engaged in deep thought.

Finally, after about half a quarter of an hour, Chen Chang’an’s knitted brows gradually relaxed.
