Chapter Six Hundred and Sixty – Destiny (2/2)
Because this battle wasn’t just related to the reputation of the sect, it was also needed to intimidate the stupid people that were considering shifting allegiances in the sect! Gu Liang Dao’s betrayal of Xi Xuan had had major effects with the factions within the sect. Right now, Xi Xuan was divided and its people were not united.
This kind of matter could not happen to Xuan Kong Temple.
Jiang Zhe was to use reality to tell them there was only one outcome in betraying the sect
–Die without any chance of burial!

Lin Qian was naked as he soaked in a crystal clear pool. There were numerous complex seal scripts that criss-crossed around the border of the pool.
His expression was serene as though he was a sleeping baby.
There were eight or so sword xiu around the pool. Their faces were wizened but when their eyes moved, sharp sword-like lights would flash.
Suddenly, Lin Qian’s body gave off a faint light.
The light was not blinding and was comfortable to see.
The old people around the pool shifted with excited expressions on their faces. This warm energy was not like any power they had seen before.
“Shen power! This is shen power!”
“The Heavens bless our Kun Lun!”
“Little Lin Qian is definitely the pillar of our sect!”
Lin Qian slowly opened his eyes from within the pool. The light disappeared from his cool eyes. He did not move but the water in the pool suddenly flooded towards him.
It came in layers and moved like smoke.
In a blink, Lin Qian was dressed and the water in the pool had turned into a blue robe.
“This disciple greets Sect Leader, Shishu!”
Lin Qian respectfully bowed.
“Is it shen power?” a Kun Lu elder couldn’t resist asking.
“Yes!” Lin Qian said respectfully. “But it is not complete. This disciple is just mimicking shen power from memory.”
“Try and see.” The one who spoke was the Kun Lun sect leader. His brow was straight and his eyes had been half-lldded all this time. The pair of eyes were deep, aged and seemed to see through everything.
“Yes!” Lin Qian raised his right hand. Faint blue shen power turned into a flying sword that appeared in his hand.
“It really is shen power! The power is above shen power!” an elder couldn’t help but say.
The sect leader came forward and reached out to grip the blue flying sword made from shen power.
Pia pia pia!
Countless blue lights exploded in the sect leader’s hand but the sect leader did not seem to be affected and his hand did not move.
Pia!
A sound that was louder than the ones before it. The shen power blue sword suddenly exploded!
The sect leader’s hand did not move at all.
The blue energy that had exploded seemed to be imprisoned in his palm, like an invisible cage. The lights flashed but they were unable to break free.
The sect leader only took away his hand after the light faded. He said coolly, “It is more domineering than ling power and about twice as strong. However, if one wants to cultivate shen power, they will have to cultivate all three powers.”
Lin Qian was floored by the sect leader’s deduction. As expected of the sect leader. He saw it at a glance. Lin Qian said respectfully, “Yes!”
“All three powers?” the other elders frowned.
Kun Lun had yearned after shen power for a long time, but they had never gotten it. If it wasn’t that Lin Qian had fought against Xiao Mo Ge and the others and experienced shen power, they still wouldn’t know anything about it. They hadn’t expected Lin Qian to have such high comprehension that he could create the initial form of shen power after one battle.
These Kun Lun elders had been at the height of their joy and thought that shen power could be taught widely. But when they heard that the sect leader say that all three powers were required, they all frowned.
In Kun Lun, there were very rarely those that could cultivate three powers together.
In other words, the great majority of disciples were not qualified to cultivate shen power. In this case, the utility of shen power would be deeply underscored.
If a new disciple started training now, they wouldn’t know how long it would take until they were able to fight.
The state of affairs was so chaotic now they could not afford to wait.
The sect leader’s eyes that seemed to see through everything opened slightly. He looked towards Lin Qian and changed the topic. “Tell us about the impression those people cultivating shen power gave you.”
Lin Qian closed his eyes and thought back. Then he opened them. “They cultivate different shen power. Xiao Mo Ge’s shen power is domineering and burning, the two women next to him have an eerie and a cold power. That middle-aged woman’s shen power is lacking compared to Xiao Mo Ge’s trio and is just in its infancy.”
The sect leader nodded. “Go down now and rest. The elders and I will perfect the cultivation method for shen power. Come back and in a few days to try the new method.”
Lin Qian was about to leave when the sect leader suddenly called him.
“Go investigate all the records of ancient tribe descendants being killed in the last two hundred years.”
Lin Qian stilled and then quickly reacted. “Yes!”
Translator Ramblings: First Kun Lun, now Xuan Kong, with Tian Huan and Xi Xuan getting irritated as well. Zuo Mo just wants to make enemies with all major powers.
These people have all been working on shen power as well so it isn’t a surprise other people have shen power. Zuo Mo is a catalyst but people have been studying this before he was alive.
