Chapter 140 Xuantian’s Dao-logy (1/2)

Shen Lian rearranged his train of thoughts and replied, ”Qing Yi, you’re so lucky to be able to have Xiang Shan Zhenren as your teacher.”

Song Qingyi thought that Shen Lian would change his attitude after hearing his background story. He expected Shen Lian to either intentionally please him or distance himself because of his status. Who knew that Shen Lian did not change anything and only gave him a symbolic praise.

It was his first time meeting someone like that and he found that super interesting.

Song Qingyi said, ”Haha, I have no idea what did my mentor see in me. Since I’m heading back, do you want to come along? Maybe my mentor would pick you too.” He was serious about the invitation but whether Shen Lian made it or not, it depends solely on Lu Jiuyuan and it was not something Song Qingyi had the power to decide.

Although his words may seem reckless, it actually was beyond his martial exercise and a basic chapter of the Freedom of Letting Go Scripture. This scripture emphasized on the mind, as it sees the mind as the sources of dharma.

The Freedom of Letting Go Scripture and the Taixu Strategy were almost Daoist martial exercises and they both have their own attractions. Song Qingyi had a good impression of Shen Lian as Shen Lian did not treat him differently because of his identity, and that really changed his views on Shen Lian. Song Qingyi understood the wise words by ancient people saying, ”You can know someone for your whole life and they’d still feel like strangers, while there are strangers that feel you have known them for your whole life.”

Shen Lian replied, ”Qingyi, you’re being funny. Actually, I already have a mentor.”

”Oh, so you’re not heading to the Temple of Killings to be an apprentice. May I know what sect or school are you from? My Xuantian sect has many branches and maybe we are related?” Song Qingyi was surprised and asked Shen Lian directly. There were legit reasons behind his questions. As he was a sincere person and mana obtained from Freedom of Letting Go Scripture made him highly sensitive to other people’s breath and that was how he discovered Shen Lian’s mana. Although Shen Lian’s mana was vague, but it was extremely pure. He didn’t manage to sense a strong force of mana within Shen Lian and that was why he thought Shen Lian’s experience in cultivation was not high.

When in fact it was the Taixu Strategy that kept Shen Lian’s mana in a spiral form, so that mana will be confined and become less traceable. Even if a highly skilled person noticed the fluctuation of his mana, they wouldn’t think that he had a mana as strong.

Shen Lian replied, ”My mentor became a celestial, it’s not something worth mentioning. Anyway, what is your purpose of coming to the desert?” Shen Lian did not intend to hide but having heard about Chen Jianmei and Monk Baoguang’s feud, he wanted to help Chen Jianmei.

He was not the kind of person who was inflexible. Considering that Chen Jianmei was on the field while he was behind the scene, should there be any unforeseen circumstances during the Dao ‘discussion’ of deity vanquishing, at least his sudden appearance could be helpful.

Chen Jianmei may be an arrogant person but Shen Lian believed that Chen Jianmei would do the same for him. It was alright for the disciples of Qing Xuan to not like each other but they would never harm each other. This was the rule of Qing Xuan; also because they had the same roots.

Dao cultivators could fight with heaven, earth or humans but they would never harm like-minded people. Qing Xuan was able to be established for over million years was because of this teaching. However, once in a while there would be nails that stick out. After all the world was constantly changing and nothing was impossible.

Song Qingyi felt guilty, ”I am sorry for opening your old wounds.”
