Chapter 91 Reduce the Insufficient Portion to Build Up the Excessive Portion (2/2)
This was the supernatural power of ”Yuan Guang Retrace”, and he could see everything that had happened on this particular spot.
Mister Hai looked in the mirror. He saw Shen Lian pointed his finger at the female demonic snake, and she stood frozen. ”The Daoist sword from Qing Xuan? No, this should be just basics, and yet he attacked someone’s mind and spirit with it. This was exactly what people meant by buying a casket and returning the pearl that was in the casket – what a lack of judgment!”
If Shen Lian did not have an impressive background, Mister Hai would have captured him. However, since he was up to something big, he decided not to stir up conflict unnecessarily.
Although Qing Xuan was not as strong as it once was, it was still a big sect with ten thousand years of history. There might still be some immortals lurking around in the galaxy.
He waved his sleeve and the entire forest was encapsulated in mist. The mist extended outwards gradually, and the entire island was shrouded by it. In the end, the island disappeared miraculously, and there was no sign of it from the outside.
The sea monster too was sinking slowly into the sea; only the singing of the sea monster remained.

Shen Lian was unaware that he got away from troubles due to Qing Xuan’s reputation. Despite that he recognized the direction, to get back on the right track in the vast sea took him a lot of effort.
When he finally got back to the mountain gate of Qing Xuan, a month had already passed.
Taiyi Peak was shrouded by the misty clouds, and it looked the same as usual.
Zhang Ruoxu sat cross-legged on the stone couch as he observed the return of Shen Lian.
There naturally would not be many changes within the short span of time that elapsed. Zhang Ruoxu would not be evaluating Shen Lian’s cultivation too.
”Did you know that almost everyone on the Flying Celestials Island died?” Zhang Ruoxu sighed and spoke in a pitying tone.
”What happened? I have eliminated the demon before I left,” replied Shen Lian, who was not pleased by what he heard.
”Someone cultivated the ”Blood Dissipating Sword” with the Qi and blood of the Islanders, and the sole survivor is a little girl. She was saved by my Uncle-Master,” Zhang Ruoxu elaborated.
”Blood Dissipating Sword?” Shen Lian was confused, as he had never read about the Blood Dissipating Sword, and there was no record of it in the Taiwei Pavillion.
”It is a supernatural power that could snatch the Qi and blood of others to nourish one’s Qi of vitality, which will speed up the cultivation process. Even though it reduces the insufficient portion to build up the excessive portion and is against the natural way of things, one could still attain Dao with it,” Zhang Ruoxi spoke while gauging Shen Lian’s reaction.
”Is there any other disadvantage with this method of attaining immortality?” Shen Lian queried casually.
”No, there isn’t. However, it will be difficult to pass the trial of Divine Thunder in the future. If one killed enough living creatures and snatched their Qi, one could Huandan within twenty years and could attain the Absurd State within fifty years. If the person was naturally devoid of emotional ties, he could even break through the Absurd State. By then, only the heavens would be able to pass their judgment unto him,” Zhang Ruoxu illustrated with a helpless tone.
”Survival is an instinct. I guess there were a lot of people who tried to cultivate this before?” Shen Lian asked after a moment of contemplation.
”There was a sect who cultivated this, and everyone in the sect ended up killing each other. The sole survivor was stuck by the Five Thunders, and his spirit was exterminated.”
