Chapter 191 The Dao of Avici (2/2)

Shen Lian answered, ”I too cultivate the Taixu Strategy. That day in the Qing Xuan Hall, I already noticed that founding master's breath was unstable. Furthermore, she displayed the swordcraft, One Sword To Break The Void, for the chief and sent him back to reincarnation. The swordcraft is indeed formidable but I found out the details of this swordcraft later from the Tiandi Jian and found out that the One Sword To Break The Void was somehow strained and its might was not enough. With her strength from the Dixian rank, there should not have any strain so it was definitely because of other reason. The biggest possibility was that she is seriously wounded where she could not exert much with only ten percent of her capability.”

Gu Caiwei nodded and said, ”Uncle-Master truly has an eye for people. You having such careful thoughts would definitely allow Qing Xuan to rise once again. But this matter should be kept secret. After all, now is such a precarious moment.”

Shen Lian said, ”Senior apprentice-sister, we do not need to cover anything and just go on with how we should. Back then before the founding master confirmed her immortality, we came by just like this, did we not? Not only that, since that person could injure the founding master, should we count on that person to keep it a secret? I am, however, very curious. Which of the five seniors from Guangqing did this?”

As to whether there were other connoisseurs, Shen Lian did not even need to think about it. There was no one who would strike against an immortal Zhenren for no reason since they could not kill them after all and might sow rancor with them. Only now the most possible to not be scruple about all these were the five immortal Zhenren from Guangqing, after all, the circumstances between the enemy and the sect were pretty clear.

Gu Caiwei kept quiet for a while and then said, ”The one who did this was Daoist Dengfeng. The founding master was hit by his Taiyue Real Shape Incantation and her injuries are quite severe. It would take at least up to ten years to recover. I came here to tell you that the founding master has entered the deepest stage of the Taixu State. Before she leaves the solitary retreat, we cannot wake her anymore.”

The Taixu State was a special state of the Taixu Strategy. Only those who have attained immortality can try to enter this state. After entering this state, they can travel through Taixu and experience and observe this state.

With the abstruse of the Dao to help oneself, one can then break free of their reliance of the universe and become a new universe by themselves. When done to the extreme, besides learning about the Boundless Universe, the kinds of energy of the abstruse world were not only limited to the control of the Qi of Vitality.

However, it was clear that Ziling Fairy needed to absorb the energy from the Taixu State to aid her recovery.

Shen Lian sighed and said quietly, ”It is said that amongst the five Dixian of Guangqing, Daoist Dengfeng is not the one with the highest mana or the biggest supernatural power.”

With this said, Gu Caiwei could not help but felt her heart sink. Since when did these seniors and teacher-elders would ever predict that the Qing Xuan Sect would have fallen to this state.

While she was lost in thought, Shen Lian had already descended from Taiyi Peak. The place he was going was the Zifu Peak where the Taiwei Pavilion is.

This was the first time Shen Lian entered the Taiwei Pavilion after taking over as the chief.

Shen Lian did not fly into the pavilion using the wing but he walked, step by step, up Zifu Peak. There was some delightfulness with riding in the wind through the skies. However, there was no need to experience it every time. Occasionally, by walking on the solid ground, the soul could feel the heaviness from the ground.

The movement of heaven was full of power, thus the superior man makes himself strong and untiring. The earth's condition was receptive devotion, thus the superior man who had a breadth of character carries the outer world.

And now not only he should make himself strong and untiring but should have the heart to bear such burden. This was the state that he had never before in his previous life, Shen Lian did not find it difficult but he would take it as an interesting challenged in his long life.

The Taiwei Pavilion stood quietly and alone as though it was out of this world, and as though it had melted amongst the Zifu Peak, giving out the unknown charm.[1] 天行健,君子以自强不息;地势坤,君子以厚德载物 - This verse is adpated from The Book of Changes, ”周易”.
