Chapter 267 Tianyin Transformation (1/2)
The disciples of Taisu Sect thought Shen Lian looked young and weak. However, this was the same person who escaped the combined attacks of the three Chamber Masters through a wave of his illusionary Milky Way. After forming the Mark of Mountains and Rivers, his aura started to spike to its pinnacle; it was as though the demonic god himself had fallen into this world.
The Mark of Mountains and Rivers soared towards the sky and split the divine light from Fairy Tianmeng's Palm of Triple Yin into half. The amazing Qi strength capable of swallowing up the mountains and rivers swept across almost everything.
The Qi of heaven and earth started brewing and was reaching its boiling point. The killing vibes filled the air, and the unsettling sound of explosion spread outwards. The sound wave was extremely terrifying, and a few disciples of the Taisu Sect who had a low level of cultivation had fainted.
Right at this moment, Ruoxi woke up. There was confusion on her cute little face. However, when she realized that she was looking at Shen Lian, she was felt happy and yet was lost.
”Ruoxi, I will bring you home,” Shen Lian sighed.
Shen Lian had always lacked in fearlessness, and it was only now that he understood why the old Daoist at Taiwei Pavilion showed him the dream of a caterpillar that never breaks through the cocoon and failed to turn into a butterfly. Of course, the old Daoist was trying to speed up his awakening; though, he was unable to truly break through his cocoon.
Now that he was in the state of Powang, he finally noticed all of the whims that he was caught in. He realized that these were not merely passing clouds and smoke that was not worth mentioning. Instead, he was constantly surrounded by them. What he thought was right might be wrong; he thought that his heart was still as water, and yet there was a sense of high pursuits within him that had not been expressed yet.
He came to Taisu Sect to rescue Ruoxi, and at the same time, he wanted to throw himself into a true trial. Under the extreme pressure, he wanted to see if he could feel the edge of Celestialism and to feel the path of immortality.
This was not the proper way of training. It would only take one miscalculation for him to be trapped in the treacherous inescapable abyss. What he was doing now was unlike him.
However, he was short on time. If he could not attain Dao in a speedy manner, he would not be able to deal with the pressure that followed.
This was the same reason why Chen Jianmei refused to return to the mountains. He wanted to see speedy improvement by pitting his swordcraft against the world.
If any one of them managed to attain Dao, the difficulty faced by Qing Xuan would be eased slightly. Only then, Qing Xuan would be able to shake off the label of a declining sect.
All of the sneaky tactics and efforts would be futile when faced with absolute power.
Moreover, he had always been worried about the five immortal Zhenrens of Guangqing. However, Daoist Dengfeng was the only one who actually plotted something against Qing Xuan. Besides their intention to be part of the four main Daoist sects, it was unclear what else did they have in mind.
All these shrouded over Shen Lian's heart like an inerasable shadow. He felt as though he was walking on wire. To be honest, even after taking care of Huang Longzi, he was still in a disadvantageous position. For reasons unknown, Guangqing had not retaliated yet.
Shen Lian was troubled by these emotions. All of the pressure that he had been shouldering was released in the manner of 'Qi that swallowed mountains and rivers'.
The actual clash was not ending anytime soon. Fairy Tianmeng noticed that Shen Lian's Qi dynamic was akin to that of a Celestial, and she was surprised by the fact that he managed to overcome her Palm of Triple Yin. However, it was impossible for Shen Lian to take someone like her out merely by mimicking the Qi dynamic of an immortal Zhenren.
A black pipa with silver strings appeared in her hands and she started plucking the strings. The moment she started playing on the pipa, a fierce beast was birthed. This was the 'Tianyin Transformation' of the Taisu Sect. It could turn a sound wave into fierce beasts of the wild and was a miraculous supernatural power.
Ever since Fairy Tianmeng became the Hall Master, she had never used it against an enemy.
The melody was soothing, and the murderous intent filled the air. There were ripples in the air, as though it was stirred by the sound wave. The fierce beast leaped over and Ruoxi was shivering. She did not understand why her Master was acting like that.
