Chapter 524 - 523: Unexpected Delight (Second Update)
Yun Ran had just awakened from her moment of enlightenment, and did not immediately conceal the aura around her.
However, it was within her expectation to be seen by the people of Heavenly Dao Village, as she never intended to hide it from them from the start.
These days, her work at the Special Administration Bureau was not in vain.
She had long figured out that the people from Heavenly Dao Village truly wouldn’t interfere in the conflicts between the Xuan Sect, and were not just seeking fame and glory.
So, when she decided to establish the Taoism lineage of Qingfeng Temple in this world, she had already decided to bring the people from Heavenly Dao Village in as allies.
As long as Heavenly Dao Village did not cause trouble, Yun Ran feared no one else.
In the end, it was because she was always wary of the Heavenly Dao in this world, even if she had many ways to avoid its punishment.
But she didn’t like the feeling of being pursued and attacked by the Heavenly Dao, so allying with Heavenly Dao Village was the best choice.
Xuan Kong watched as Yun Ran collected the Tao aura around her and the divinity from her eyes.
His gaze became increasingly scrutinizing, and he finally spoke: "What exactly do you intend to do!"
Xuan Kong understood well that if Yun Ran wanted to hide these things, she would definitely have a way.
But Yun Ran didn’t hide it at all and even allowed Xuan Chu to move freely in Qingfeng Temple, even summoning the powerful figures behind her in front of Xuan Chu.
Judging by Xuan Kong’s previous temperament and attitude, he would have definitely fought Yun Ran immediately.
But now, seeing Yun Ran’s ’honesty’, Xuan Kong decided to give Yun Ran a chance to explain.
In the past few days, Xuan Kong also helped Yun Ran conceal the aura of Qingfeng Temple.
At least until he figured out what Yun Ran truly wanted to do, he couldn’t let those old monsters find her.
He was very clear on what those people wanted, nothing more than to kill Yun Ran immediately and seize the Taoism lineage from her.
To be able to touch the edge of the Great Dao was enough to make those old monsters commit heinous acts.
Many times, verbal explanations are actually very feeble, a thousand words cannot compare to what one sees.
Now, Yun Ran had officially assumed the position of temple master of Qingfeng Temple in this world, and the Prohibition on her was markedly different from before.
Thinking of this, Yun Ran put her hands together, her eyes glowing a ghostly blue, and slowly, a more intricate totem appeared on her forehead.
With the appearance of the totem, a sudden shock appeared in Xuan Kong’s eyes.
"Immortal...Immortal Prohibition!"
No wonder Xuan Chu said earlier that the Heavenly Dao Restriction on him was being firmly suppressed.
It turned out that what Yun Ran summoned was not some powerful figure, but the Dharma Image of an Immortal!
At the Xuanmen Competition back then, when Yun Ran released the Prohibition of Qingfeng Temple on her body, Xuan Chu immediately changed his opinion of her.
At this moment, not only did Yun Ran release the double Prohibition on herself, but Xuan Kong’s apprehension and doubt about her vanished completely.
"No wonder Xuan Chu trusted you so much before, repeatedly telling me that you would never become the destroyer of worlds, so that’s how it is!"
Perhaps others find it hard to understand this Prohibition, but as Heavenly Dao Envoys, they understand it best.
When they leave Heavenly Dao Village, they would carry a Prohibition of the Heavenly Dao on them, which is both their protection and constraint.
If they did anything excessive or betrayed the will of the Heavenly Dao, they would be eradicated.
The Prohibition on Yun Ran was even more domineering than the one imposed by the will of the Heavenly Dao.
Anyone with ill intentions who touches any part of this Prohibition would have no chance of survival.
Putting it more bluntly, once someone is marked with this Prohibition, even if they are really a villain, they can only do Righteous Path deeds their entire life.
Though inherently a bad person, if they do good deeds throughout their life, judged by their deeds and not their intentions, they are considered good.
At this moment, Xuan Kong looked at Yun Ran with a clear hint of goodwill: "Quite a few old monsters have come,
they must have sensed the Taoism lineage of Qingfeng Temple earlier. Do you know what kind of temptation touching the threshold of the Great Dao represents for Xuanmen people?"
Yun Ran retracted the Prohibition on herself, suppressing her aura completely, now appearing as a well-behaved and understanding young girl.
If he didn’t know Yun Ran’s background, Xuan Kong felt like he might have been deceived by Yun Ran’s appearance.
"Old monsters? How do your insights compare with theirs?"
Xuan Kong thought for a while before saying: "I should be slightly stronger than them. The way our people of Heavenly Dao Village cultivate is to see through falsehoods; if I can’t see through it, they certainly can’t either."
Only then did Yun Ran answer Xuan Kong’s previous question: "Of course, I know what the Taoism lineage of Qingfeng Temple means. To outsiders, it is a shortcut to touch the Great Dao.
But from the beginning, they got it wrong; the Taoism lineage wasn’t established by Qingfeng Temple just to attain enlightenment.
In my world, Qingfeng Temple is the foremost temple of the Xuan Sect, and all Xuanmen people consider it an honor to enter Qingfeng Temple.
But, Qingfeng Temple is not respected because it is powerful enough.
It is because those who come from Qingfeng Temple take on the mission of vanquishing demons and monsters, upholding the Righteous Path with a singular focus.
To be accountable to heaven and earth above, and to countless lives below, they fear no sacrifice for it.
Our Taoism lineage is favored by heaven because of the countless forebears’ sacrifices, a reward for doing good without asking for future returns."
Xuan Kong made many guesses, but never thought that Yun Ran’s sect was such an existence.
No wonder, no wonder Yun Ran could so easily gain so much merit.
Clearly despised by the Heavenly Dao, yet it seemed to always show leniency.
This might be the blessings left by the forebears to their descendants, as Yun Ran mentioned.
"What do you want?"
Xuan Kong was quite insightful, and he naturally didn’t believe Yun Ran’s revelation was just to alleviate his concerns; there must be something more waiting for him.
He wasn’t really interested in many matters of the Xuan Sect, but that didn’t mean he didn’t have goodwill towards sects like Qingfeng Temple.
Therefore, he brought it up, giving Yun Ran a way out.
Yun Ran really had no additional thoughts, the power of Heavenly Dao Village wasn’t weak, and it was best to coexist peacefully.
Xuan Chu watched as Yun Ran did not immediately state her request.
He added: "As long as your request is not excessive, Heavenly Dao Village will consider it."
Yun Ran’s eyes flickered, she did not expect that by not speaking immediately, she would receive such a pleasant surprise.
It seemed that Xuan Kong’s attitude towards her was much better than she anticipated.
However, it was within her expectation to be seen by the people of Heavenly Dao Village, as she never intended to hide it from them from the start.
