Chapter 194 Divine Fox (1/2)

Until the fatigue in his mind and spirit disappeared, Shen Lian had a really comfortable feeling as the burden on his heart decreased significantly.

This was something like when he was still of human flesh, he transcended a borderline condition through exercises that were meant to break the limits of the body where all his worries were gotten rid of.

With this powerful mind and spirit, it was already hard to have this kind of feeling. The forty portraits left by the immortal Zhenrens attacked his mind and spirit, pushing him to a breaking point.

Finally, the portrait of Grandmaster Qingshui calmed his tensed mind and spirit with the Taixu appearance of the forever accepting, she resolved the charms of the previous portraits without a trace.

Even though Shen Lian did not get any substantial improvement, but the nature of his spirit had gotten a subtle transformation. Speaking from a certain degree, his Yin spirit could possess characteristics of the primordial spirit of the immortal Zhenren. He felt that spirit had firmed up even more. If the Yin spirit transformed from the spirit was like sun-dried mud bricks, now it had characteristics of green bricks.

The mud brick would fall apart with a touch but the green brick was more stable. The primordial spirit of the immortal Zhenren would take shape when it comes together and would become Qi when it is dispersed. When it takes shape, it was tough. When it becomes Qi, it was like a wisp of smoke which makes it hard to hurt it.

Shen Lian then got up and began looking at the jade scrolls. Now, he could not waste his time and energy to be involved with other Dao techniques but he should look for strange occult technique and supernatural power.

It was because he could not stay cowardy in Qing Xuan and only leave after Powang.

The immortal Zhenrens were formidable but there were certain occult techniques in this world that could give him a chance to keep his life when he faced a Dixian.

Shen Lian took down a jade scroll. The Dao technique recorded inside it was the Divine Aura Shifting Method. Once it reaches the Dacheng state, one could change into a divine aura and reach hundreds and thousands of miles within a moment's notice.

This shifting method was formidable but it was no use to Shen Lian because it was meant for those who had the primordial spirit to cultivate. For an immortal Zhenren, the manifestation of the primordial spirit was no different than the flesh. Furthermore, there were more changes and more wonderful supernatural powers, plus there was also lesser obstacles.

The Divine Aura Shifting Method would transform the primordial spirit into a divine aura. It can fly without a trace and the distance covered would be thousands and ten thousands of miles in an instance.

Shen Lian sighed slightly and let go. His cultivation experience was not enough after all.

He then took a few steps forward and took a jade scroll that float by in front of him. Now, he could differentiate these jade scrolls. The more dim ones were Dao technique related. There were less than two hundred of it, with most of it being the Qing Xuan hundred and eight techniques, and then the rest were other faction's orthodox exercises that Qing Xuan gotten or some of the incomplete incantations.

There were some that bobbed with brisk dexterity were supernatural Dao techniques and some other secret techniques. These things were unanimously referred as 'skill'.

Martial exercises mention about how to cultivate Dao, to explore the abstruse of the universe; as for 'skill', was to explain how to understand 'Dao' by oneself that cannot really be understood. To use the metaphor from his past life, the martial exercises were like the fixed formula and the 'skill' was the method in solving the equation, which also meant on using this fixed formula in real life.

This jade scroll surprised Shen Lian as it entered his hands.

The information trickled slowly into his mind and spirit. He somehow remembered what was recorded inside it. This scroll did not only record the divinity of the supernatural power, but it was also an essay.

This was a letter by a certain 'Divine Fox'. What was a divine fox? There was a record in the Strange Tales of Divines and Demons: 'Divine Fox, fifty years old. Can transform into a woman; becomes a beautiful lady and shaman at a hundred years old, knows about external matters from thousands of miles, prone to enchantment, causing others to lose their wits; able to connect with the heavens at a thousand years old.'

Shen Lian remembered an incident that had happened many years ago. That time, he was still at the State Capital of Qing and he was invited by a female fox deity, Xin Shisiniang, to the Qielan Temple outside of the city to meet her father, Xin Qubing, who was also an old fox deity.
