Chapter 265 Determination (1/2)

Shen Lian had felt the gaze of a lot of people, some had bad intentions; some were cold, and some were loving.

This gaze, however, was not something he expected.

The gaze was considered the reflection of the spirit and for a detail-oriented expert, one could detect a lot of things. As this gaze fell on him, Shen Lian could not describe how he felt. It was like there was rain falling on him, but he did not experience the wet or coldness that came with it.

The courtyard was refined. The attic was on the side, and underneath it was fake mountain and flowing water. It was a work of art.

Qi of vitality was almost present. The sound of the flowing water could be heard, and everything was ultimately intended to highlight how extraordinary the lady in the attic was. She was like the whole of the courtyard, who germinated and bloomed, and naturally became the most beautiful item here.

Her hair was made into a bun and was adorned with an emerald-green jade hairpin. The long dress was a mixture of white and green. She looked noble but at the same time otherworldly.

Seeing her was just like being in a dream that one would not want to wake up from.

Shen Lian lifted his head, and his eyes were filled with killing intent which appeared all in a sudden to pierce through the dream.

”Where is my niece?” Shen Lian spoke softly.

He looked calm like an unmoving rock, but who knew what sort of power he was gathering in his heart deep down which would soon to be exploded. ”Ruoxi is the reincarnation of Yuan Jun. Do you know what that means?” Fairy Tianmeng knocked on the railing, which let out a crisp sound.

Shen Lian spoke nothing, but in reality, he was summoning his true form. He had decided to leave with Ruoxi no matter what.

Fairy Tianmeng did not know it was only Shen Lian's clone that was present. Shen Lian's Tongtian Skill could hide even the breath. The thunder technique that he used to break the formation was in fact just thunder talismans. All of these caused Fairy Tianmeng to underestimate Shen Lian.

She still did not want to have beef with Shen Lian, as ultimately she did not get along well with the three elders, and her decision to cultivate the Synchronized Heart Mantra of Taisu was not agreed upon. Without the help of immortal Zhenren, to keep Shen Lian here was a difficult task.

”Last time Taisu Yuan Jun killed Zhu Jiuyin, the Candle Dragon, who occupied the north and left the Dao meaning here, which was then inherited by our Grandmaster. From there, the Taisu techniques were born. The aurora outside the sect was also born out of Zhu Jiuyin's remains. The Grandmaster made use of it and laid down the formation. Taisu Yuan Jun was the supreme presence among the thousand stars. Even in front of Daoist master or Buddha, he did not need to be punctilious. After she killed Zhu Jiuyin, she hid among the depth of the stars. However, as she did not obtain the successful Daoist result as a Daoist master or Buddha, hence she needed to divide her divine thoughts into multiple universe and experience ten thousand trials to achieve the Daoist result. These clones that were experiencing the trials were hence known as the reincarnation. Ruoxi was one of them. Before her, there was two more reincarnations of Yuan Jun in our sect. After going through the trials, they disappeared. I am not going through the detail of the previous generations. I just want to tell you that regardless of Ruoxi's cultivation stages, they will all end in vain.”

Fairy Tianmeng told the story of this secret extensively. There were only the two of them in the courtyard.

Shen Lian said, ”So are you done?”

Fairy Tianmeng gazed at Shen Lian and they exchanged sights. There seemed to be a ripple in between the space – one could observe the tension between the two.

She continued, ”If she cultivates the Synchronized Heart Mantra of Taisu successfully, she will then become one with me and cut off the connection with Taisu Yuan Jun. At the very least, she will not disappear into thin air, and her memories and emotions will remain. If you don't make things difficult for me, I can help you combat the pressure coming from Guangqing. This is the biggest compromise I am able to make.”

Shen Lian knew there were some secret techniques that could form independent incarnations. Other than Fairy Tianmeng's the Synchronized Heart Mantra of Taisu, among Xuanmen there was another mysterious technique known as Chop into Three – it could form three independent incarnations. It was a very powerful technique.

If one could get rid of the psychological factors, one could indeed treat these incarnations as an independent human.

He did not doubt the sincerity of Fairy Tianmeng.

But he said, ”I will take her with me.”
