Chapter 217 The Miracle of Birth (2/2)
As Shen Lian laid down the Waves of Heaven and Earth Formation with the Mystical Whale at the center of it, the formation not only protected the island, but it could also gather Qi of vitality with every breathing of the Mystical Whale. With this, after hundred to thousand years, the island could even turn into an equipment.
Some of the top cultivators quickly made their way to Longevity Temple after they heard the news. They all wanted to exchange their cultivation thoughts with the chief of the Xuanmen sect, but they were too late as Shen Zhenren had already left. To where was the question which Gu Caiwei did not have an answer for.
It was rumored that Shen Zhenren was still out in the sea.

The main hall was floating in mid sky on top of Mount Taicang. It was where Guangqing Celestial Sect was. The main hall looked as if it was traveling around mid-mountain. Daoist Huanzhen flew into the main hall, and he landed just in front of the hall. There was a board in the main door, which wrote ”Lingxiao Hall”.
He did not look too different compared with five years ago. However, as he entered, his usually unchanged expression showed some fatigue.
He held some dust and slowly took steps forward. He kneeled down and said, ”Headmaster, your student is back.”
There were the nine-stepped jade stairs in front of him which were made up entirely of white jade. It seemed like amidst those cumulus clouds were being born. Jade that could give birth to cumulus clouds was of extremely high quality and was multi-purpose. One could tell how excessive it was as it was used merely as the basis of steps here.
Amidst the cumulus cloud and on top of the nine-stepped jade stairs, someone was sitting at a throne. The throne was made of gold, and within it there was the mark of dragons which was hidden behind the cumulus cloud. Within the cumulus cloud, the gold looked as there was a dragon traveling within it.
He said, ”Get up.”
Daoist Huanzhen then stood up. The one who was sitting on the throne was the chief of Guangqing Celestial Sect, the top among the five Immortal Zhenren – Yuming the Honored Celestial.
Huanzhen spoke, ”Ye Liuyun from the Underworld Sect is indeed one of his kind. I spent five years, along with the third and fifth Junior Apprentice-Brother, then we managed to break his underworld army. However, to set the score straight for this, we missed the chance to destabilize Qing Xuan.”
Yuming the Honored Celestial said, ”It doesn't matter. We have to take on the Underworld Sect sooner or later. I just did not expect that they have someone good who could have seen through our design and planned the attack.”
Huanzhen said in a deep voice, ”I thought about that too, but for Hungry Ghosts and Animals, while they are powerful, they are not great at the design of the gods. Who is that powerful? Could it be that Daoist Youjian had recovered?”
Yuming the Honored Celestial said, ”Perhaps, but whatever we are doing, while we can hide them from the eyes of the world, we can't hide from Lu Jiuyuan. As such, whatever the five of us do, we have to consider the opinion of Lu Jiuyuan. Furthermore, after Dengfeng attacked Ziling, according to her personality, sooner or later she will be here to settle the score. During these ten plus years, if we are not moving forward, we will be falling behind. I hope you understand.”
Huanzhen replied, ”It is all a part of my responsibility is a student. When I was on my way back, I heard that Shen Lian has left the mountain. What do we do about him?”
Yuming the Honored Celestial responded, ”If we kill Shen Lian, we will have become the ultimate enemy of Qing Xuan. If there is anyone of us who transcend beyond the mortal world, it will be difficult to deal with the old folks at Qing Xuan. We seek the path of Dao to live alongside the world, not to fight for power. We just need to delay Shen Lian's cultivation because, with his talent, it seems that he can possibly break through whims within a hundred years.”
Huanzhen sighed and thought to himself. The headmaster was right as now Shen Lian was the chief of Qing Xuan. Carrying the name of the sect meant he now had to be more cautious.
Yuming the Honored Celestial said, ”When you're out for five years, I took in another student. His talent is not below Shen Lian. You should get him involved with the Luoist's matters and train him.”
