Chapter 210 Taishang Daoist Sec (2/2)

In terms of mysteriousness, this Taishang Sect would be top amongst all four. Very few people knew of this Taishang Sect. Its Dao techniques were also not as extensive. Nevertheless, its foundation Dao technique ”Taishang Detection Chapter” was recognized as the most relatable to a great way of Dao.

It could be comparable to the 'Taixu Strategy' and the 'Enlightenment Scripture' of Xuantian Sect, even surpassing these two in certain areas.

In the literature that Shen Lian inherited as chief, there was very little information about Taishang Sect. This sect was rather mysterious, but all the people who came out from this had earth-shaking cultivation levels. They just rarely fight with others, standing on high ground and avoid the worldly fights.

The raft suddenly stopped, rolling up some waves. Some seawater was about to splash up onto Shen Lian's robe, when an invisible shield appeared and blocked away the water, not letting a single drop on the raft.

Zuo Shaoqing looked front and saw a towering column of water of undetermined height, almost entering the clouds and eventually splattered down like a shower of rain.

Below the column lied a black piece of desert island, which looked very shiny.

At the same time, an unknown humming was heard as the water column thinned down, passing through the ocean.

The closer they got to it, all the Qi of heaven and earth had gone chaotic like the raging waves, rising and falling.

Shen Lian's had the high skill level and awareness so he would not be affected. If it was a normal Daoist, they would have lost their mana in such environment.

A gleam of light descended in front, and there appeared a fresh looking cultivator in a grey robe, who said, ”I advise you to take the long route and go around this area. The Mystical Whale is breathing Qi. If you come too close, you will get hurt”.

Shen Lian muttered, ”How did this Mystical Whale appear here?”

That desert island was actually a large sea creature. It was the back of the Mystical Whale. Many years ago, Shen Lian was dragged to a stranded island, where he killed a demon snake, who turned out to be Mister Sea's concubine.

This would make these two considered as old acquaintances.

The cultivator in grey replied, ”No one knows. This creature used to hang around one specific place, taking in the ocean's Qi. Once it had sucked into its content, it would fall in deep sleep for few years, even multiple ten years. However, five years ago, this creature had appeared from the sea level once and sucked in countless cultivators into its belly. I am here on a task from the Temple of Longevity, to patrol this area. When I see someone passing here by mistake, I will stop them from getting hurt.”

Shen Lian laughed because this Temple of Longevity was a branch of Qing Xuan set up by his apprentice sister, Gu Caiwei.

It was named Temple of Longevity to oppose Chen Jianmei's Temple of Killings. Life versus death, still considered as Yin and Yang, which really brought some good to the cultivators and people around the area.

These non-formal cultivators merely practiced in seclusion, working behind closed doors. The Temple of Longevity had provided them a platform, taught the Dao teachings every month. So, they managed to attract many cultivators and delegate them tasks at the same time, subtly gathering all the cultivators around the coast.

Shen Lian would not depend on the help of these foreign non-formal cultivators, but no harm making new friends and exploring good seeds.

If Qing Xuan wanted to rise quickly, they must not follow the rules by the book. They had to tap their talents using unconventional methods.

Of course, for one to be a core disciple of the sect, one must still be harsh.

Shen Lian grinned, ”No harm for me to go up and ask him what has happened, is there?”
