Chapter 184 Bai Suhuan (2/2)
Zhang Lingxian was not happy with this, and asked Bai Suhuan, ”Grand Uncle-Master, what do you think about this?” He was acting on his frustration, and what he felt at that moment even exceeded his worries for Zhang Ruoxu.
Bai Suhuan's calm gaze fell onto Shen Lian. Even though that there was no change in the mana, Shen Lian felt the rising pressure. He was only able to undo the pressure by escalating the Qi of cinnabar field traveling in his body. He knew that this person was a lot stronger than he was. Though, it was unclear if he was stronger or Daoist Huanzhen.
However, there were five immortal Zhenren in Guangqing Celestial Sect. Amongst those who had not attained the status of immortal Zhenren, there were twelve cultivators including Huanzhen who had attained the state of Powang. They were known collectively as ”The Twelve True Celestials of Guangqing”. Addressing them as True Celestials was a compliment, as these cultivators who had attained Huandan had amazing supernatural powers and enjoyed the reputation of being a ”True Land Celestial”.
Those who could rightfully be considered as a deity would be those who had cultivated their Primordial Spirit or had attained Golden-bodied Arhat.
Even though Huanzhen did not manage to gain anything from Shen Lian, but there was no doubt about his power being higher than Shen Lian. If they were to engage in a deathly battle, Shen Lian would stand no chance at winning.
Guangqing Celestial Sect wanted to replace Qing Xuan as they were at their peak now.
Amongst the four main Daoist sect, besides Xuantian sect who overpowered Guangqing due to Lu Jiuyuan, the other three sects, especially Qing Xuan, could not rival Guangqing.
If it was not for the set up at Qing Xuan's mountain gate, the Dao restriction, and the presence of an immortal Zhenren at the sacred place of the sect, Guangqing would have seized the mountain long ago.
Qing Xuan finally started to recuperate after Ziling managed to attain the status of a land immortal.
No one noticed the little clash between Shen Lian and Taiyin Layperson. Moreover, Shen Lian was unaware if he did so intentionally or unintentionally.
”The position of the chief is an honored position. If he doesn't have the capability, he would not be able to hold the position for long. Ruoxu, I'm not trying to go against you, but Shen Lian needs to show everyone what he is capable of.”
Taiyin Layperson had a much older voice as compared to his appearance. Time seemed to have aged him. His words had weight, and Zhang Ruoxu could not casually dismiss him.
Moreover, Bai Suhuan was right. Sooner or later, Shen Lian had to face something like that.
”Shen Lian, what do you think?” Zhang Ruoxu spoke. His divine Qi was decreasing and had almost completely disappeared. He was about to pass on anytime now, and yet he managed to hold his own. This was indeed the grace of a Daoist.
Shen Lian carried himself with great composure. The red dot between his brows looked bright. ”Since Grand Uncle-Master had spoken, why don't you tell me what kind of capability do I need to show in order to prove my worth?” Shen Lian replied lightly.
”No one in this hall could withstand three moves from me. If you can do it, they would have nothing more to say,” Bai Suhuan looked calm as he spoke. However, his words created a slight commotion in the hall.
Qing Xuan had always disallowed battles within the sect. However, Bai Suhuan had a high state of attainment and enjoyed great seniority. It seemed appropriate and acceptable for him to request to test Shen Lian's capabilities.
