Chapter 207 Grand Assembly of Luoism (2/2)

Qingyin asked coldly, ”Who are you?”

The young man replied, ”Fairy, are you from Guangqing Celestial Sect of Mount Taicang?”

Qingyin replied, ”What does this have to do with you?”

Young man's face lit up and said, ”I heard that Mount Taicang is opening its mountain gates again, so I thought I'd try my luck, hoping to enroll into the celestial school”.

Qingyin thought, ”So the mountain gates are open again.” But she expression got colder, she said, ”If you want to find a teacher, go find one yourself. Why come in my way?”

The young man said, ”I have not gone to a celestial mountain before. I do not know the way. Looking at Fairy's extraordinary outlook, you must be of the celestial family, so forgive my rudeness in asking for directions, I have no other intentions”.

Qingyin thought, ”This fellow has average bone structure, though a bit aged, but no harm trying. If he is destined for the sect, the sect will naturally take him in.”

She said, ”Walk straight for thirty miles and you will see a huge valley. Walk into the valley and you will see a river. Stop there and there will be someone receiving you in a canoe. Anything after this will depend on your destiny.”

The young man held his fist and bowed, ”Thank you, Sister Fairy”.

Qingyin did not bother to reply, she walked past him in a hasty speed, and leaving only a visible shadow.

The young man took in a deep breath, as if he detected the pleasant aroma left by Qingyin, and mumbled, ”What a choking scent of joss.” Then he proceeded to walk straight, with a slight grin on his face, looking quite chilled. He was Yanxu, who came to Guangqing looking for a master.

Within Mount Qing Xuan, atop Zifu Peak, inside Taiwei Pavillion, there was Shen Lian at the second level. He was holding a jade scroll, strolling back and forth. Wherever he passed, there would be visions of wind and fire, flashes of swords, but all were visionary and not real.

Forty portraits of immortal Zhenrens were seen hanging. The drawings of Zhenren on the portraits were very lively as if they were all staring at Shen Lian's steps.

All his steps were made in directions of the eight trigrams, and turned into five elements.

It was as if thousands of Dao techniques and skills were hidden within his movements. Finally, his figure slowed down. Shen Lian's body was emitting with dense purplish gas as he shut his eyes close, not leaking any ray from his eyes.

Even the jade scrolls were away from him, as he slowly merged and the Dao scriptures of godly prowess gradually transformed into mirages and formed a stream of techniques, surrounding Shen Lian.

The dense purplish gas around him slowly flowed into his today, creeping in, and Shen Lian finally let out a long breath, and all the mirages dispersed with it.

He opened his eyes, and two golden rays shot out of them, eventually blocked by the shield in Taiwei Pavillion, not disrupting its surroundings.

Since the last time when Qingjiang surrendered, it was five years ago. Gu Caiwei also set up her own affiliate elsewhere, establishing her turf. Under the guidance of Shen Lian, coupled with teachings from many visiting Huandan Doyens, he was able to grow new seeds.

However as the timespan was still short, there was only one person who had the qualification to enter the mountain gates of Qing Xuan.

As time passed, the number of people who could enter had increased. Many scattering cultivators had come as far as ten thousand miles to Qing Xuan's affiliate, to seek celestial destiny.

In the words of Qing Xuan, all people were treated equally. It was still extremely difficult to enter the school. But in the fifty years since the mountain gates were opened, there was new hope which delighted to all cultivators.

Xuanmens were difficult to enter, but upon entering, the hopes of attaining Daoism would enlarge.

In the five years span, Shen Lian, under the influence of many miraculous medicine and potions, speedily escalated his skill levels to Buxu level, coupled with the buildup of Tongtian Skill, he entered a whole new realm. Adding on with his constantly developing spirits which finally halted a year ago, encountering a bottleneck.

This halting of spiritual developing finally let Shen Lian breathe a sigh of relief. This was because if Mastery of Sense could help his spirit grow constantly, that would not be a good thing, after all, there was no such good reward in this world.

Today, it was considered a perfect fusion of Tongtian Skill and his Taixu Strategy. As Shen Lian had cultivated to a certain level beyond mystical, it was now time for Shen Lian to exit the mountain gate and complete a mission.
