Chapter 240 Jiang Hanyan (1/2)

The 'Zhi' Formula in the 'Interpromotion and Interrestraint' of the Taixu Strategy was enough for Shen Lian to gain an insight to most of the spells in this universe and the profound theories of the spell formations. The Chunyang Daoist Palace's Heaven Span Formation was still ingenious but it could not hide from Shen Lian's Dharma eyes.

No matter how those two thought, they would have never ever guessed that Shen Lian came from a very extensive background. The ten sects of the Tianhua Continent still have a profound heritage but the Qing Xuan Daoist Sect did not shy far away from it. Throughout the entire Tianhua Continent, they would not have found the Dao formulas that would be on par with the Taixu Strategy.

Shen Lian, being the sect master of the Qing Xuan, he was one of the most distinguished figures in the world of cultivation in the Yuan Continent. If this formation could have stopped him, people would have laughed their heads off.

These weird rocks, giant timber, wild grass, and Chinese wisteria were actually transformed from Qi of vitality. At the slight disturbance, it would become all kinds of beasts to attack those who entered this formation.

Shen Lian and Zhao Xiaoyu were not afraid of this phase of the attack, but they also would not disturb the formation and go looking for trouble themselves.

The formidability of this formation was not on its attack but that it followed the mountain, spread far and wide while with the help of the spiritual vigor of the mountain terrain, it took advantage of the terrain while it was being cast. It was indeed a marvelous creation excelling nature as it was in line in line with the true essence of Daoism and the natural principle of all things everything that has noumenal or phenomenal existence.

Based on this point, Shen Lian appreciated it. It seemed that this so-called Chunyang Daoist Palace did not unearn their reputation.

Zhao Xiaoyu too had an idea to break into this formation but it was not as easy and indifferent as Shen Lian's idea that seemed like an idle stroll in a courtyard. There was even the possibility of alerting the others if she was not careful.

She originally assumed that the distance between Shen Lian and her was not that big but then she daunted it. Shen Lian, who did not reach the so-called final Powang state of the nine states, gave her the feeling that he was like a vast body of water that was unmeasurable.

This matter did not leave Zhao Xiaoyu dejected but it aroused the hidden ambition in her.

Shen Lian seemed to be bringing Zhao Xiaoyu on an unmindful stroll but in actual fact, both their speed was really quick and they have walked approximately thirty or forty miles. Shen Lian suddenly stopped and stood on top of a giant rock.

Zhao Xiaoyu asked, ”We have arrived at the internal part of the formation?”

Shen Lian smiled and said, ”We should be. It seems as though it is not only both of us that have ventured in.”

”It seems we came at the right moment.” Zhao Xiaoyu smiled sweetly.

Shen Lian first studied the surrounding plants. The Chinese wisteria was the most with it twined at the limited bottom area. Occasionally, there would be clear spring water flying out from the gaps and from time to time, there would be two to three walking beasts that brush pass the bottom.

This area could be said that this place was endowed with the fine spirits of the universe.

By sensing the Qi dynamic alone, there were at least six cultivators with different methods of martial exercise that passed by here. They were all highly skilled in Dao techniques, and the marks they left were faint.

If it was not for Shen Lian's brilliant Tongtian Skill, adding to the miraculous Taixu Strategy, it was certainly hard to find out. At the same time, there was a wisp of sword will fifty miles away. It was like the cold smoke above the river, it was melodious and lingering that also brought along a bone-chilling chill, overlooking the creatures of this world.

Based only on this wisp of sword will, it was known that this person's swordcraft had great attainment, it could probably be topless even.

Generally speaking, the cultivator of the sword is the cultivator with the strongest attack amongst other cultivators. They were also the ones that were the less likely to appear as a cultivator. This was because the other schools of cultivators would want to attain immortality, only the cultivator of the sword take life and death lightly. Whatever the obstacles before them, they would just chop it off in one go with their sword.

This was evidently demonstrated by his Senior Apprentice-Brother, Chen Jianmei.

Even though Shen Lian excelled in his swordcraft, he would still not be considered as a cultivator of the sword because he did not have the makings of it.

Zhao Xiaoyu also felt it. Her brows crinkled.

Shen Lian simply said, ”Let's go and have a look.”

Zhao Xiaoyu nodded slightly. Her dress fluttered as she went there in a flutter with Shen Lian on a clear breeze. Here, there was a shallow stream mingled within the mountain rocks. Occasionally, it would brush the sides of the shrubs, hit onto the giant trees and divide in the middle and passed through. This caused a good splash. Then, it would graciously follow below.

The splash of the water rocks sounded wonderful, like the movement of the sound of nature. It could be found that there is the music of the landscape here.

Once they reached here, the two landed and slowly walked forward.

At this moment, Zhao Xiaoyu saw that there was a silhouette of a human hanging on a giant tree a hundred feet away. His chest was pierced by two swords as it hung from the trunk of the tree. The two swords glowed with raw light. The glow hummed and hawed as the black and white glow alternated between each other.

Zhao Xiaoyu hesitantly explained, ”This is Daoist Cixiong's Cixiong Precious Swords. Why would it be here?” Daoist Cixiong was a famous non-formal cultivator. It was said that he encountered a celestial affinity, gotten both the Cixiong Precious Swords that could display the ancient swordcraft that was passed down, known as the two polarities spectral sword.

This swordcraft contained axiomatic truth, once it was put to good use, it underwent a myriad of changes, which made it hard to resist. Rumors had it that this person had gotten a celestial elixir and successfully went through four transformations of Huandan. His reputation was huge but according to the calculation of the years, he was approaching his eight hundred years old doomsday.

Zhao Xiaoyu's divine thoughts went over and she could clearly see that person's face. It was indeed Daoist Cixiong. However, she could not see why Daoist Cixiong could be injured by his own swords.

Shen Lian did not even look and continued forward, but his steps were slower. He went against the stream of water and saw a compass on top of a shrub. Its brilliance was dim and faded, and a piece of the hem of the robe hung on the branches of the shrub.
