Chapter 186 Taiyin Ligh (2/2)

However, the fact that Shen Lian went as far as he did came as a surprise to Zhang Ruoxu. If Bai Suhuan insisted on his objection, Zhang Ruoxu was confident that he could make him recognize Shen Lian as the chief. However, the effect would be better if Shen Lian convinced him with his own power.

Actually, most of the cultivators who were serious about pursuing Dao in the sect did not care about the position of the chief. Despite how Bai Suhuan was acting, if he were offered the position, he might not even say yes to it.

Shen Lian would enjoy more freedom not being the chief.

Zhang Ruoxu sighed in his heart. Only Shen Lian would accept the difficult role without weighing his options.

Bai Suhuan did not listen to Shen Lian. ”With your potential and your level of cultivation, why do you even bother with being the chief? There are many ways to repay your gratitude to Zhang Ruoxu. However, the moment you become the chief, you would lose your carefreeness and be restrained by the bond. Why would you put yourself through all these?” Said Bai Suhuan.

Shen Lian seemed to be staring at the white snow far away and was not focusing his attention on Bai Suhuan. ”Looking for carefreeness does not mean that I would find it. As the Nanhua Scripture says, 'Forget not its beginnings, and ask not for its ending; be happy about what was bestowed upon you, regaining what was once lost. Destruct not the great Dao, interfere not the natural course of things'. I'm only acting in accordance with my heart, why would I think about all these,” Shen Lian replied.

He cited the Nanhua Scripture as a reminder for himself not to forget about his roots and not to chase after his future; to just take things as they came, and to forget about life and death. Let things take its natural course, to refrain from destructing the Dao with his heart and mind, and to refrain from aiding the natural way of things with his actions.

Upon saying this, it was as though Shen Lian had turned into a free-floating cloud. The entire mana within him poured outwards, and even Bai Suhuan could not detect any lack of smoothness in it.

The exchanges between nature and man continued; Shen Lian was not just akin to the clouds in the sky, but also the running river in the mountains and the hint of fresh breeze. His Qi dynamic was unpredictable, as though it was a fish swimming in the world.

Bai Suhuan knew that if he allowed for this to continue, it would not be long before Shen Lian could secure the complete resonance of the Qi of heaven and earth in Qing Xuan. At that point, the massive trend would be unstoppable and he would have no chance of winning.

After all, the strength of human could never rival that of nature.

This was the ingenuity of Taixu Strategy. As he was a famed figure in Qing Xuan, Bai Suhuan knew this all too well.

”Shen kiddo, I'm going to start now. Watch out for yourself,” he spoke slowly.

Bai Suhuan did not use any instrument. It was not that he did not have the best of instruments, but if he were to secure victory with the help of an instrument, the younger disciples would lose their respect for him.

Even though Shen Lian wanted a battle to determine victory and defeat, but there was no way that he could have fought a deathly battle with Shen Lian. He would be the one who loses his reputation in the end.

With a swing of his palm, a cold and lonesome silver ray shot out. This was the Taiyin Light of the Code of the Bright Moon.

By absorbing the essence of the Taiyin moonlight and cultivating it with mana, the Taiyin Light was made. Its power was impossible to estimate, and it was a lot stronger than the normal flying swords. Moreover, it was capable of abstruse changes.

The moment the Taiyin Light shot out, the Qi of the heaven and earth acted as though their General had appeared. Waves of Qi rolled towards Shen Lian in the void. The Taiyin Light led the way, as though it was opening a new path in the world.

The suffocating pressure came crashing. Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and pointed his finger. A sword gleam that shone with great brilliance flew out.
