Chapter 210 Taishang Daoist Sec (1/2)

With Shen Lian's high level of techniques, he could see clearly where this five-colored clouds appeared from. It was evidently from the Ming Wang temple. But the previous Da Ming Wang had already transcended beyond the mortal world and secluded himself within the stars long ago. So this individual which did the same, who was it, he wondered. Though one thing to be sure of, this individual might have escaped from Ming Wang temple, but its dharma will was not pure Buddhism, more like a certain sect, which gave out a strange yet familiar feel.

At this moment, Qianmo flapped its wings on Qing Xuan Hall, looking confused and finally wrapped its head in its wings, seemingly thinking of something.

Shen Lian regularly allowed it to enter the Taixu aura, connecting both of their spirits. He felt the confused emotion within it, so he thought, ”Could this saint who transcended the mortal world, has any connection with Qianmo?”

Even the strange and familiar stench, was rather identical to those from Qianmo's body as if they were of the same origins.

As for those in the Qing Xuan Hall, today was a day full of surprises. Those below the Huandan level had witnessed Yan Bugui achieved Huandan, whereas the Doyens saw someone who could really transcend the heaven and earth.

This scenario was truly once in a thousand years, the view of someone transcending the mortal world.

The deeper the cultivation, the more they would have felt.

Initially, Lu Jiuyuan was the most recognized almighty to have the ability to transcend heaven and earth. Never would they have thought there was someone who did so before him.

Yet, with Lu Jiuyuan's unpredictability, no one could tell if he was not as good as the saints who had transcended.

After Yan Bugui had achieved Huandan, Shen Lian stayed in the mountain for half a month. He made some excuses to meditate, delegating the administration of the sect to both Hong Qianya and Yan Bugui, before leaving discreetly.

The single leaf raft rode the winds and pierced through the waves. Shen Lian stood at the front of the raft, while Zuo Shaoqing did the rowing.

Shen Lian did not wear his Daoist robe. He had a square scarf on his head, armed with a green robe with exquisite materials, dressing up like a traveling wealthy young master. Zuo Shaoqing was donning pitch black attire, with his sword by his waist, very much like a bodyguard.

He looked older than Shen Lian, which in fact he was ten years younger.

Five years passed, the Qingjiang Sword sect had become part of Qing Xuan, to whom they offered exclusive Nanjiang medicinal materials from the southern border. The ten thousand miles long coastal area around Qing Xuan was considerably peaceful. Five more miles towards the west, there was there the heavy fogs and many savage creatures could be found. There was a large continental land beside the thick layer of the ocean, which was explored by very few Daoist masters.

Yuan Zhou itself had a coverage area of hundred thousand miles, making the cultivator as small as an ant. There was nearly no concern as to what lied within the eastern land across.

Shen Lian's sight was deep in the Eastern Sea. He said, ”We do not know what lies beyond the oceans, whether the cultivation process there is similar or different from ours.”

The boat's oar was in Zuo Shaoqing's hand, silently splitting the water surface. Accompanying the rise and fall of the waves, Zuo Shaoqing learned his way of swords from the clouds and water.

His mana did not increase throughout the five years serving as Shen Lian's sword servant, but it got refined, expanding the realms of his swords skills.

Speaking of Meng Xunzhen, his cultivation level was rather well among the rest, but his understanding of cultivation was still miles away from the actual Xuanmen sect.

Shen Lian did not train Zuo Shaoqing intentionally. Just like if someone was to serve alongside Lu Jiuyuan, even just serving him tea could help them understand the theories of Doa and enjoy a lifespan of one hundred years. Previously in the mortal world, there was a scholar whose maids were all well versed in poems and scriptures, not subpar to any ordinary scholar.

Zuo Shaoqing asked, ”Do you want to go, Young Master?” Since he was not a disciple of the Qing Xuan, he could not address him as Supreme Chief. Since he was Shen Lian's servant, he addressed him as Young Master and not Old Master.

Shen Lian smiled, ”Maybe, when the opportunity comes in the future. I am rather not free now. But I heard that Taishang Daoist Sect, the most mysterious sect amongst all four, had moved here from the eastbound lands.
