The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 524 An Unexpected Joy (2nd Update)
Yun Ran had just woken up from her enlightenment and did not immediately conceal her aura.

However, it was within her expectations that the people of Tiandao Village would see her; from the beginning, she had no intention of hiding it from them.

These days, she's not doing her job at the Special Administration Bureau for nothing.

They had long ago figured out that the people from Tiandao Village genuinely wouldn't interfere in these conflicts between the Xuanmen sects; they weren't the kind who were just seeking fame and fortune.

Therefore, when she decided to establish the lineage of Qingfeng Temple in this world, she had already decided to bring the people of Tiandao Village over as allies.

As long as the people from Tiandao Village don't cause trouble, Yunran isn't afraid of anyone else.

Ultimately, it was because she was always wary of the laws of nature in this world, even though she had many ways to avoid the punishment of the laws of nature.

However, she didn't like the feeling of being chased and beaten by the Heavenly Dao, so forming an alliance with the Heavenly Dao Village was the best choice.

Xuan Kong watched helplessly as Yun Ran withdrew the Dao essence from her body and the divine aura in her eyes.

His gaze grew increasingly scrutinizing, and he finally spoke: "What exactly do you want to do!"

Xuan Kong knew very well that if Yun Ran wanted to hide these things, she would definitely find a way.

Ke Yunran made no attempt to hide anything, allowing Xuan Chu to move freely within Qingfeng Temple, and even summoning powerful figures behind her right in front of Xuan Chu.

If it were according to Xuan Kong's previous personality and attitude, he would definitely have started fighting with Yun Ran right away.

But now, seeing Yunran's 'honesty', Xuan Kong is willing to give Yunran a chance to explain.

In the past few days, Xuan Kong also took the opportunity to help Yun Ran conceal the aura of Qingfeng Temple.

At least, he can't let those other old monsters come after him until he figures out what Yunran is trying to do.

He knew exactly what those people were thinking: they wanted to kill Yun Ran and seize the Dao lineage that belonged to her.

Being able to touch the edge of the Great Dao is enough to make those old monsters do horrific things.

Many things cannot be adequately explained with words; a thousand words are not as good as seeing them in person.

Now, Yun Ran has officially inherited the position of Abbot of Qingfeng Temple in this world, and the restrictions on her body are clearly different from before.

After thinking for a moment, Yun Ran clasped her hands together, her eyes glowing with a deep blue light. Then, a more intricate totem gradually appeared on her forehead.

As the totem appeared, a look of shock suddenly surfaced in Xuan Kong's eyes.

"Immortal...Immortal restriction!"

No wonder Xuan Chu said before that the Heavenly Dao restrictions on his body were being suppressed tightly.

It turns out that what Yun Ran summoned was not a powerful figure at all, but the Dharma form of an immortal!
When Yun Ran released the Qingfeng Temple's restrictions on her during the Xuanmen Grand Competition, Xuan Chu immediately changed his opinion of her.

At this moment, Yun Ran not only released the double restrictions on her body, but Xuan Kong's fear and suspicion of her also vanished completely.

"No wonder Xuan Chu trusted you so much before, repeatedly assuring me that you would never become the one who destroys the world. Now I understand!"

Others may find this restriction difficult to understand, but as messengers of the Heavenly Dao, they are the ones who understand it best.

When they leave Tiandao Village, they are placed under the restriction of the Heavenly Dao, which is both a protection and a constraint on them.

Once they do something outrageous or betray the will of Heaven, they will perish.

The restriction on Yun Ran's body is even more domineering than the restrictions imposed on them by the will of Heaven. Anyone with evil intentions who touches any one of these restrictions will have no chance of survival.

To put it more bluntly, once this restriction is placed on someone, even if they are a bad person, they can only do righteous things for the rest of their lives.

He may be a bad person, but if he did good deeds all his life, judging by his actions rather than his intentions, then he is a good person.

Xuan Kong's gaze towards Yun Ran now clearly carried a hint of goodwill: "Quite a few old monsters have already come looking for us."
"It must be that they discovered Qingfeng Temple's lineage before. Do you know how tempting a lineage that can touch the threshold of the Great Dao is to those in the Xuanmen (Taoist sects)?"

Yun Ran withdrew the restrictions on her body, and her aura was completely suppressed. At this moment, she looked like a well-behaved and sensible little girl.

If Xuan Kong hadn't known Yun Ran's true nature, he felt he would have been completely deceived by her appearance.

"Old monster? How does your judgment compare to theirs?"

Xuan Kong thought for a moment before saying, "I should be slightly stronger than them. The Dao cultivated by the people of our Heavenly Dao Village is capable of seeing through illusions. If I can't see through it, they certainly can't either."

Yunran then answered Xuankong's question earlier: "Of course I know what the lineage of Qingfeng Temple means. For outsiders, it is a shortcut to access the Great Dao."

But they got it backwards from the very beginning. The people of Qingfeng Temple did not establish the lineage with the sole aim of attaining enlightenment.

In my world, Qingfeng Temple is the foremost temple in the Xuanmen (Taoist sect), and anyone in the Xuanmen considers it an honor to enter Qingfeng Temple.

However, Qingfeng Temple was not respected because it was powerful enough.

Rather, it is because those of us from Qingfeng Temple take it upon ourselves to subdue demons and eliminate evil, and wholeheartedly uphold the righteous path.

To live up to the expectations of heaven and earth and to the expectations of countless living beings, we are not afraid of sacrificing anything for this cause.

Our tradition is a blessing bestowed by Heaven after the sacrifices of countless predecessors; it is the reward for doing good deeds without expecting anything in return.

Xuan Kong had made many guesses, but he never imagined that Yun Ran's sect was actually such a thing.

No wonder, no wonder Yun Ran always manages to easily accumulate so much merit.

It is clear that Heaven despises us, yet Heaven seems to show mercy to us in every way.

This, perhaps, is what Yunran meant by the blessing left to them by their predecessors.

"what do you want?"

Xuan Kong was a shrewd man, so he naturally didn't believe that Yun Ran's confession was just to dispel his concerns, and that she definitely had a backup plan in mind.

He wasn't interested in many things about the Xuanmen sect, but that doesn't mean he didn't like sects like Qingfeng Temple.

Therefore, taking the initiative to bring it up can be seen as giving Yunran a way out.

Yun Ran really didn't have any other ideas. Tiandao Village was quite powerful, and it would be best if they could get along peacefully.

Xuan Chu noticed that Yun Ran didn't immediately make her request.

He added, "As long as your request isn't excessive, Tiandao Village will consider it."

Yun Ran's eyes flickered. She hadn't expected that her failure to speak up in time would bring her such a pleasant surprise.

It seems that Xuan Kong's attitude towards her is much better than she expected.
