Chapter 171 The Four States of Taixu (1/2)

Shen Lian too was not sure where should he go in order to search for Huandan. But he was not too concerned because he was in touch with his higher consciousness.

That time, he genuinely felt that his path ahead was clear.

Just like what ancient people would say, ”Huandan is the key to entering Dao”.

To Shen Lian, there was no secret to Dao. It was more like a paper window that would tear apart once you pierce through it. It was because the Taixu Strategy was initially a supreme dharma that described heaven, earth, and Daoism. On top of that, the newly found clarity was the sword will of Grandmaster Yuanqing and that helped him overcome several obstacles.

Overcoming these hurdles made him the man he was.

Shen Lian had earned the credentials to go out, discover, and to move forward steadily in this journey of pursuing Dao

It took him twenty years to achieve Huandan, although he was not the quickest to have accomplished such a feat but his footsteps were extremely solid. From other people's perspective, his steps were already very swift and he too was proud of his achievements.

Draped in its beautiful feathers, Qianmo and a silly looking Xiaoxun flew towards Shen Lian and chirped.

Shen Lian laughed, ”Two silly birds, can't bear to watch me leave.”

Qianmo proudly lifted his head and flew to Shen Lian. It had the look of 'what's so great about you.'

Shen Lian looked at the thin figure of Qianmo and sighed, ”Unfortunately you're too skinny and I can't ride on you.”

Qianmo was proficient in human nature and understood Shen Lians words. It fluttered and attempted to ride on Shen Lian. But Shen Lian was quick to react, making it a failed attempt.

This slight movement may seem easy but what makes it scary is that Shen Lian has unlocked another level in terms of reaction time. Qianmo's speed was one of the quickest among the rarest. But Shen Lian was able to react on time and avoided it effortlessly.

Qianmo was in dazed after the failed attempt. It was not the first time Shen Lian was able to dodge it but this time, he did it so effortlessly, as if Shen Lian already knew that it was about to move and he avoided in advance.

It was curious and made another attempt. Under broad daylight, there were no shadows at all and the showed how speedy Shen Lian was.

That time around, Shen Lian too was able to dodge it with ease and he was being a little cheeky by pinching its green feather. After a few failed attempts, Qianmo felt discouraged.

Shen Liam smiled, ”No matter how fast you are, you can conceal your Qi dynamics from me. Before you could move, I already knew your next move. You don't stand a chance at all in touching me.”

He was not too bothered whether the birds understood his words.

But Qianmo looked like it understood his words and flapped its wings. Shen Lian sensed danger and stretched one finger that landed on Qianmo's beak. The beak was only an inch away from his earlobe.

This bird sure possessed extraordinary talents. It actually could reverse it's Qi dynamics to invert Yin and Yang. Shen Lian almost fell for that.

All things possessed Yin and Yang. Just like the principle of wind movement, cold air and warm air had to interflow in order to create wind.

Therefore if a soul moved, the Yin and Yang in the body will move first.

Even a skilled Huandan cultivator will not be able to realize this movement but Shen Lian was able to reach such state thanks to the Taixu Strategy.
