Chapter 127 One Who Invites Trouble (2/2)

Jing Qing smirked, ”He is now ‘at the dusk of his life, with not much breath left’. Things will only get worse for him, how can he be well.” Jing Qing Tongzi was used to witness lives and deaths, plus snakes were cold-blooded in nature. Even though he had spent a long time living with Zhang Ruoxu, he would not have a sense of sadness like Shen Lian had.

Shen Lian turned silent. He still could not look past this.

Jing Qing Tongzi shook its head and turned into a snake. It hit the sea water with its tail, almost wetting Shen Lian’s robe, rode the clouds and disappeared within the horizon.

After seeing Jing Qing Tongzi off, Shen Lian redirected his vision to the riding waves. Ever since he joined the Daoist, the chief had been taking good care of him. Even though he forbade him to return, he must have had his reasons. Shen Lian would never mind that. It was only that he was still worried about the chief’s injuries, yet he could not do anything.

He gazed towards the direction of Qing Xuan, and thought, ”The Dao Scripture recorded the existence of a magical Medicine of Immortality. If I can find it, maybe I can cure the Chief Master”.

Shen Lian understood that Qing Xuan had tens of thousands of literature. Even if such magical medicine did not exist, or he did not have any clue to find this medicine, he still wanted to do something for the chief.

Whether it was to search for the chief’s cure or getting Ruoxi back, he could only do this with the improvement of his techniques. Those women who captured Ruoxi were armed with mystical instruments, it was only natural that the chief ordered him to return with his questions after achieving the level of Huandan so he would not over exert himself.

He was now armed with the Divine Qi of Taixu, with the help of Immortal Zhenren, so he should be able to walk around unharmed. No one else could help him besides himself in this journey to achieving Huandan.

It was a whole wide world, almost boundless. He decided to wander on an adventure and maybe figure things out someday. The first person that Shen Lian thought of was Chen Jianmei who had built Temple of Killings in Xi Huang region. Since they had not met each for many years, he decided to travel to Xi Huang.

The matter about Ruoxi should not be rushed. Shen Lian decided to look for a deserted mountain nearby, isolate himself for half a month, and clear himself to meditate, then headed off to Xi Huang. A few days later, he arrived at a fortress city, which was westbound and right on the path towards Xi Huang. Shen Lian was unfamiliar with how things worked in Xi Huang, not mentioning its geography, therefore he found himself city inn to rest in and ask around.

This city was named Yuguan. It was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and one facing the waters, with its highest point being the critical point. Though this was a mountain city, it was bustling due to its crucial geographical location.

Right after collecting his required information from the markets, Shen Lian went strolling on the bustling streets. He could feel the energy of the Taixu Divine Qi spiraling within him as if there were rays in eight colors looping endlessly in his body. Once the technique was perfected, he would have achieved the Taixu Godly Realms and enable him to master his techniques flawlessly.

He would not only improve his skills, the speed of him releasing a Daoist technique would also escalate exponentially.

This was the mythical point of the nine realms of cultivation. The Daoist Master must have his reasons for setting the realms to nine.

With his strengths today, he was absorbing the Qi of heaven and earth endlessly, turning them into his energy. When he was around people, he would still restrict himself. If he was in the wilderness, he would absorb without boundaries. His rate of Qi transformation using the Taixu Qi was so effective that he surprised himself.

This was logical though because when he transformed his own mana into Taixu Qi, the speed was already fast.

However, he had spent most of his effort cultivating his Qi, which was not very functional. His body had its own capacity limit in carrying his mana. Moreover, when he had cultivated to such high level, the mana level was already not the most important factor in beating an opponent. If an opponent had the ability to move mountains and oceans, they would still be unbeatable.
