Chapter 181 That Was His Nature (2/2)

He had asked all that he had to; of course, he would not be draggy and pretentious like the mortals did.

Just as what he did for Chen Jianmei, Zhang Ruoxu swept Shen Lian's hair aside and pointed his finger on the middle of his brows.

The Tiandi Jian rose up and Shen Lian was shrouded in pale silver ray. There were a lot of abstruse information and secrets of the world that flowed into Shen Lian's heart. In fact, he even found out who brought Ruoxi away. They were the disciples of Tai Su Sect.

The Tiandi Jian lived up to its name and was indeed privy to a lot of things unknown to most. However, the information was too huge, and Shen Lian had to filter out irrelevant information.

This was the process of amalgamation with the Tiandi Jian. Moreover, to cultivate this treasured instrument, one would need to be imprinted by the Chief.

'There is the Baiyu Jing in Heavens;

the five cities and twelve residences in Kunlun Mountain;

The Celestial touched my head,

and I was passed on the secret to immortality.'

Even though Zhang Ruoxu was not a deity, but he had passed on the Dharma of Immortality to Shen Lian. Shen Lian was ashamed at how he could not do anything for him in return. Even though he took on the role as the chief, but it was not much.

Moreover, the position as the chief, though not something great, but it was not something bad either. It was just him trying to do Zhang Ruoxu one last favor as he was a slightly suitable candidate.

A red dot appeared on his pretty face, between his brows. It signified Shen Lian's succession as the chief.

Shen Lian did not erase it and let the mark stayed between his brows.

The Tiandi Jian fell into his arms. Zhang Ruoxu looked pale and weak, though, he seemed satisfied.

Shen Lian's Yin spirit was strong, and going through Huandan was a piece of cake for him. Hence, the succession process did not take a toll on him.

Now that Shen Lian could travel between heaven and earth, being in controlled of Qing Xuan was actually a restraint to him. However, Zhang Ruoxu did not have much choice. Moreover, Shen Lian felt that he needed to do something to repay Qing Xuan.

Jing Qing and Gu Caiwei were at the hall. ”Caiwei, go ring the bell,” Zhang Ruoxu spoke to Caiwei.

”How many times?” Gu Caiwei asked.

”Nine,” Zhang Ruoxu said with certainty even though he was very weak.

Gu Caiwei seemed hesitant, but she went ahead still.

The bell rang, and it was just as Chen Jianmei's code of Dao.

However, the bell would be rung seven times for those who managed to attain Huandan with their own strength, and eight for the succession of the chief. The bell would only be rung nine times when someone had become an immortal Zhenren. When the Grandmaster in the sect had transcended the mortal world, only then there would be the bell be rung forty-nine times, which was a sign of utmost honor.

Shen Lian was aware of these ceremonies, but he did not know why the chief rang the bell nine times for him.

”I would not be able to wait till you break through the Absurd State and attain immortality. I'm ringing the bell nine times for you to congratulate you in advance. After being the chief for so many years, I'm going to be rebellious just this once,” Zhang Ruoxu laughed.

Shen Lian was relieved, but he was speechless at the same time. When the bell was rung nine times, there were rays coming to the Taiyi Peak from all the other peaks.
