Chapter 141 The Indus Tree’s Birth Is Similar to the Sun (1/2)
Song Qingyi's eyes gleamed, looking as though they were stars and said, ”Ah Lian, by now I think that my honored master will take you highly. Why don't you pay a visit to Xuantian sect? It is not some mysterious or exclusive place, we often have visitors who come to speak about Dao or listen to Dao.”
Shen Lian thought that was how the top celestial schools should behave. Unfortunately, Qing Xuan did not have someone as powerful as Lu Jiuyuan. Even if Qing Xuan were to adapt the style of Xuantian, it just seemed like a joke to most. He had a sudden thought about the potential of him bringing the lowly Qing Xuan to the height of Xuantian if he were to become the leader.
The seed of the thought was planted at the bier, which would potentially germinate one day.
When he thought of it, Shen Lian could not help but let out a laugh. He did not even reach the stage of Huandan yet, there was no point thinking about these. Besides, he might not even be the chief's preferred successor. More importantly, he wished the chief stayed at this position.
Zhang Ruoxu's method would work best for Qing Xuan now. As long as there were more immortal Zhenren from Qing Xuan, all of the existing problems would be solved easily.
Shen Lian did not turn down Song Qingyi's offer, given that he would have the rare opportunity to meet the number one in the cultivation world. He nodded, ”If there's an opportunity to visit, then I'll have to bother you to bring me there, Qingyi.”
Song Qingyi replied, ”Well Ah Lian, I find you to be a bit weird. We cultivators tend not to follow the traditions too much, but you're way too at ease.”
Shen Lian did not reply. The yellow sand in the desert was glittering under the stars.
He looked ahead in a carefree manner and said, ”Qingyi, I think it is better if we go ahead and look for the spiritual being you were looking for.”
Once they passed the desert, it would be the Hanhai Kingdom, which was located not far away from the Temple of Killings. Furthermore, there was still some time from October fifteenth from this side of the world. Shen Lian needed not to hurry.
Song Qingyi nodded and agreed with him. The duo walked towards the depth of the desert. He was not afraid that Shen Lian would betray him if he saw the spiritual being for two reasons. Firstly, he believed that Shen Lian was not this type of person and secondly, with his cultivation experience, he had his own means to protect himself. Most importantly, the cultivation level of his honored master – if he would face great misfortune, why would the master let him pursue this?
The desert spanned across a hundred miles. If one were to fly through it, it certainly would not take much time. Given that they had to look for the spiritual being, they had to go through it slowly.
The yellow sand was all covered with silver glitters, as magical as water. It was mesmerizing.
Shen Lian could feel that the desert was absolutely lacking in Qi of vitality, as a result, it seemed that the power of the stars was excessive. All in a sudden, Shen Lian came to a halt. There were a lot of fireflies like beings in front of him. They were beaming with little yellow lights, coming out of nowhere and quickly gathering towards one area.
Song Qingyi spoke in an urgent tone, ”This looks bad. It is the remainder Qi of the Mirage Demon. Why are they all gathering towards one area? How could it be possible that the king of the Mirage Demon is not dead yet?”
Based on Chen Jianmei's swordcraft, it was impossible that he could not kill the king of the Mirage Demon. He did not manage to eliminate them completely as many of the child forms stayed hidden.
The child forms of the Mirage Demon were mostly hidden in the shell and buried deep under the yellow sand. Unless Chen Jianmei utilized his shaking power to destroy the desert.
For most travelling merchants who had some previous understanding of the situation, they were mostly prepared. They would take a detour to avoid troubles.
The Qi of the Mirage Demons had no effect on Song Qingyi, but as it seemed that all the Qi was flowing towards one direction, the king of the Mirage Demon required the contribution of these child forms to help him recover.
From where the light spots were, through the stars, one could see there were many mollusks looking beings which were letting out the lights – those were the Qi of the Mirage Demons.
Song Qingyi knew how powerful the king of Mirage Demon could be. Given that it was probably not in its best condition and only recovering, he should take the opportunity to kill it.
