Chapter 85 Who Knew There Were Two at the Bier? (1/2)

Shen Lian asked, ”When should I get moving?”

Zhang Ruoxu extended his index finger. A gray current flowed out of his finger until it got to Shen Lian. The current then fluctuated into different shades – darker shades and lighter shades. The lighter shade looked just like the waves. The darker one, however, was static and looked like Flying Celestial Sword.

This was Zhang Ruoxu's Dao technique. It displayed the geography of Flying Celestials Island. It was more effective than oral communication or showing physical maps.

Then Zhang Ruoxu informed Shen Lian of the bearing of the island, which Shen Lian memorized immediately.

It seemed that he meant for him to move as soon as possible. Shen Lian had not been active for a while but he was willing to do so.

The evening mist blew onto his face. Shen Lian walked out of the door of Mount Qing Xuan and when he got to the beach, someone called for him, ”Brother, please wait for a moment, the headmaster still has some orders for you.”

The one who spoke was Jingqing. Shen Lian knew that for a monster to transfigure into a human, he had to reach a similar level as a human cultivator in being able to go through Huandan. Jingqing looked harmless, but if he was left outside, he could easily be one of the devil kings.

Shen Lian found it amusing for Jingqing to call him brother.

He turned around and saw that Jingqing landed from the sky. He transfigured into human and stood in front of Shen Lian. He said, ”The headmaster said that the journey is going to be long, and due to special circumstances, you are allowed to choose a flying instrument to help you commute. You just have to return it after you come back.”

Shen Lian laughed. The headmaster would never forget such a menial thing. It was just a test to see how far he had improved since he broke into the state.

Jingqing looked at Shen Lian and he felt that compared to the beginning when Shen Lian just joined, he was a lot different from before. He looked inscrutable by just standing there. It was not because Shen Lian reached an unimaginable height but it was the morning mist, and the Qi from heaven and earth seemed indistinguishable from Shen Lian at that moment.

In reality, Shen Lian had yet to reach the state where he became an integral part of nature but since he had the mold, he was working toward it.

His brows relaxed and replied in a peaceful manner, ”Please help express my gratitude to the headmaster. It is just another sea region. It is no big deal to me.”

A wind blew all of a sudden. Shen Lian took out his sword and started to gesture several runes. The runes gathered Qi in no time and his body lifted like a paper crane which then went with the wind. Shen Lian was in the midst of Qi which when landed on the waves, his body looked faintly discernable.

This was part of the runes in the Cloud and Thunder Seal Script. Shen Lian formed a few random combinations. While not extremely powerful, it was sufficient to carry his body and enable him to travel through wind and waves without using much of his mana.

This could be considered the Dao of Talisman, or Dao technique. It utilized the Qi in heaven and earth to be able to travel through wind and waves.

Shen Lian never tried it before but he managed it the first time. He was not surprised at all as he had a conscious awareness of his ability.

Jingqing just stared into the shadow left behind by Shen Lian in the beautiful sunset. The waves rose and subsided again, playing a beautiful rhythm.

He sighed, ”I guess I am fortunate to have met two of such weirdos when I am alive.”

Jingqing was ready to return to the mountain until he saw a beautiful lady on the rock. She looked dreamy with her purple silk robe in the sunset. Occasionally when the wind blew, the bell on her waist would ring and it was a pleasant sound.
