As Su Yun had a goal in mind, he did not stay here for long like the others. Instead, he pulled Xu Jiajia into Chongyang Palace.
Although the Chongyang Palace was much smaller than before, it could be said to be complete. Not only were there more than a hundred buildings, but there were also important Daoist ancient halls such as the Hall of Spirituality, the Hall of Ancestral Masters, and the Dao Palace.
With his previous experience, Su Yun went straight to the Ancestral Hall. Xu Jiajia carried the white monkey and looked curiously as she walked. The daoists coming and going around made this place seem to have become an immortal residence.
These daoists that passed by in a hurry would also look at Xu Jiajia curiously. After all, the white monkey in her arms was especially eye-catching wherever she went.
Su Yun quickly arrived at the Ancestral Hall. As most people were holding a ceremony outside, the Ancestral Hall was empty, saving him a lot of trouble. Although he did not show it, he was very excited.
The statue of Wang Chongyang was enshrined in this room. If he was not wrong, he should be able to sense the remnant supernatural aura very soon.
Soon, Su Yun arrived at Chongyang Palace, but he was dumbfounded. After activating the supernatural state, the familiar aura did not appear, nor were there any golden light spots that ordinary people could not detect. The entire hall was very quiet. Only the light of the candlelight swayed gently.
How was this possible? Su Yun immediately frowned. This situation caught him off guard. What happened? Su Yun came in front of Wang Chongyang’s statue and looked up at its eyes. His eyes revealed a puzzled look. Could it be that he was thinking too much? Wang Chongyang had never entered the supernatural state?
This thought filled Su Yun’s mind and could not be dispelled for a long time. If that was the case, it meant that he had wasted a lot of time. However, logically speaking, such a situation should not have happened. Wang Chongyang was someone who had made an important contribution to Daoist culture.
His life experience was so legendary that there was a rumor among the people that Wang Chongyang had seen an immortal before he suddenly had an epiphany. He was the person who should have entered the supernatural state the most. Otherwise, how could he have such life experiences? But why was there no supernatural aura left in this hall?
Su Yun stood in front of the statue without moving. He was puzzled by these questions. Along the way, he had thought of all possibilities, but he did not expect Wang Chongyang to not have entered the supernatural state.
When Xu Jiajia rushed over, Su Yun had already walked out of the hall silently. Not far away was the ancient-style mountain gate. Under the sunlight, the bold words “Chongyang Palace” even made Su Yun’s vision sting.
Such a beautiful place with a palace in the south, the place where Chengyuan founded the Hong Dao Sect, was actually a waste of time? He felt a little depressed. After Yiling Mountain’s historical site, Su Yun had rushed straight here. He thought that he would gain something, but he did not expect it to be unexpected.
Looking at Su Yun’s solemn expression, Xu Jiajia was a little worried, but Su Yun quickly adjusted to his normal state.
“It’s fine. Don’t worry. Since you’re already here, I’ll bring you around.” Su Yun said this to Xu Jiajia to comfort himself. Although things did not go as smoothly as he had imagined, he could not leave just because he did not have an extraordinary aura, right?
Su Yun sighed in his heart. Then, he walked deeper into the Chongyang Palace with Xu Jiajia. The first thing he saw was the Spirit Official Hall. It was worshiped by Daoist protectors. The statue was mighty and ferocious. It had a fiery red face, sawtooth fangs, and a red beard. One held a golden whip and the other held a golden brick. They were dressed in golden armor and stepped on the Firestorm Wheels.
Xu Jiajia worshiped the incense like many devotees, while Su Yun stood not far away and frowned slightly. He was still thinking about this matter. If Wang Chongyang had not entered the supernatural state, how could he have suddenly comprehended in a few years and even established a new sect on the basis of the original Daoist culture?
This left Su Yun in disbelief, but he had indeed not sensed any supernatural aura in the Ancestral Hall. As a result, Su Yun felt very conflicted and puzzled.
Xu Jiajia liked this place very much and went to a few famous halls to pay her respects. Every time, Su Yun would wait not far away and secretly think about what to do next. Soon, Xu Jiajia walked out of the Chongyang Treasure Hall. Then, she came in front of Su Yun in high spirits and pointed in a direction not far away. “Su Yun, I just saw a sign over there. This path seems to lead to Ancestral Master Chongyang’s tomb. Why don’t we take a look too?”
Xu Jiajia said it unintentionally, but Su Yun was interested. This suddenly flashed through his mind. If there was no supernatural aura at the place where Wang Chongyang’s statue was worshiped, was it because this hall did not exist when Wang Chongyang was alive?
The situation of this Chongyang Palace was different from the ancient building on Yiling Mountain. The ancient temple on Yiling Mountain was built when Gu Yun was cultivating.
