Chapter 239 Chunyang Daoist Pagoda (2/2)
The male disciple answered, ”The heavens take care of the wellbeing of living creatures, so we give them that reminder. If they want to forcefully enter the Heaven Span Formation that we've set up it would be their greed that is causing the trouble. It would serve them right if they die there.”
”Even so, I do not know that background of that lady. Her spirit is steady. I'm afraid she would not be easy to deal with.” The female disciple solemnly replied.
”From how I see it, the scarier one would be the man. Did you not see that his aura is allusive, as though it had melted with the vast forest and formless like the cumulus cloud? The martial exercise that he is cultivating must be amazing.” The male disciple smiled simply as he said. Even though he said so, but he did not take Shen Lian to heart. To be saying ”amazing” to him was indeed a high appraise, but their Chunyang Daoist Palace Dao formula would be described as more than amazing.
”So if they are formidable, could they be on par with Senior Apprentice-Sister? However, if it wasn't for the fact that Senior Apprentice-Sister had invited Chen Jianmei to Mount Liubo for a sword duel, I'm afraid she would not have helped us in capturing the Fengsheng Beast,” the female sighed.
”It is truly surprising for the wilderness, Yuan Continent, to produce such an unrivaled master celestial of sword as Chen Jianmei. But I heard that Chen Jianmei has a Junior Apprentice-Brother from the same sect and he is not below him. It would seem that in this one hundred years, the Yuan Continent is starting to thrive.” The man casually chatted away.
”Even the honored master did mention that, even though the Yuan Continent was slowly becoming barren, but since the ancient time there had been the reincarnation of heavenly immortals and countless geniuses appearing here, so it should not be surprising at all. What's more, Lu Jiuyuan of the Xuantian Sect also came from the Yuan Continent,” the female disciple said softly.
With that said, the both of them gradually faded into the fog.
Shen Lian and Zhao Xiaoyu did not move far in actual fact. With Shen Lian's supernatural power, it was too easy to hide from those two. Both of their conversations were heard by them.
Shen Lian asked, ”What are the origins of the Chunyang Daoist Palace?”
Zhao Xiaoyu softly answered, ”They are exactly the orthodoxy that was left behind by Daoist Chunyang of Shangdong Eight Celestials. You should not look down upon them. Their strengths, hidden abilities, and wisdom are not below Qing Xuan. They still are one of the ten biggest Xuanmen of the Tianhua Continent. There are still old geezers that could transcend beyond the mortal world.”
Shen Lian inquired, ”Tianhua Continent is the original continent that the Taishang Daoist Sect was at?”
Zhao Xiaoyu answered, ”Yes. There are a million miles between the Tianhua Continent and our Yuan Continent. Not only there are countless demon beasts in between the continents, there is also the sea of confusion. This is also why there is very little interaction between the two continents. Also, speaking of the Qi of heaven and earth, the Yuan Continent could not compete with the Tianhua Continent. Therefore, even though the many people there possess the qualification to cultivate, but they have seen our Yuan Continent as some wilderness all along now. Basically, there would not be any intersections.”
Shen Lian, who inherited the Qing Xuan orthodoxy, truly knew a lot of secrets but he could not take part in all matters and be clear about everything. He focused more on some of the secrets of the universe, and the many origins of the priceless treasure, or the source of whatever Dao scriptures of godly prowess.
The Tiandi Jian looks into the universe and knew more secrets than him. Perhaps it knew about this matter but being the priceless treasure of Qing Xuan, Shen Lian could not bring it out from the sect. This was to avoid it being a major blow to Qing Xuan in case it went missing.
Nonetheless, Zhao Xiaoyu would know about this matter which he was unclear of, it could not be solely explained using her identity as the saintess of the Nine Lotus Order. Shen Lian felt that Zhao Xiaoyu had some other secrets.
However, he would not ask if the other would not say because everyone had things that they would not tell others. Shen Lian too did not want to tell anyone that he came from another world and even the matter that he was cultivating the Mastery of Senses. Except for Zhang Ruoxu who was deceased, he never told anyone else.
”Really? But I am a little happy that they complimented Senior Apprentice-Brother Chen and me,” Shen Lian laughed.
”From what they said, that Senior Apprentice-Sister is truly formidable. Hopefully, you do not get bullied by that time,” Zhao Xiaoyu leisurely added.
”No matter how good one thinks he or she is, there is always someone out there that is better. Which is a good thing so that I would not be complacent and arrogant.” Shen Lian casually answered and brought Zhao Xiaoyu along to force their entry into this so called 'Heaven Span Formation' like it was no one else's business. Coincidentally, as the spiritual vigor streamed along, it did not disturb the formation at all.
