Chapter 268 Putting Oneself in an Impossible Situation (2/2)

”I have heard that all three elders of Taisu have endless mana. I wonder which one are you?” Shen Lian remained casual and calm even when faced with an immortal Zhenren. The three Chamber Masters were impressed by his composure. They thought, regardless of his origin, he was destined for greatness. That was if he could make his way out of here today.

Fairy Tianmeng was annoyed, and Shen Lian was not the reason why. It was the appearance of the Elder. The moment she appeared, she controlled the conversation and that made Fairy Tianmeng uncomfortable. When she had attained immortality and success in her cultivation, she swore to let her know who the Sect Master of Taisu was.

”Amongst the three of us, I ranked last. My mana could not be considered as endless, but it would be sufficient for me to give you some pointers.” The old woman was not harsh with her words, but her tone was commanding.

Indeed, she was undoubtedly capable. As an immortal Zhenren, she could be considered as a powerful individual in the world. There were plenty of sects that could not even produce one or two immortal Zhenren since they were founded.

”Alright, I will be sure to remember this. However, I have my own methods and I do not need the guidance of others. Perhaps in the future, there will be an opportunity for me to host you as my guest. I can afford to provide you a comfortable life for eight or ten years, so there is no need for you to face the wall and suffer,” Shen Lian replied casually. His tone was proud and egoistic, which took all of the Taisu disciples by surprise. They wondered if this person was crazy, to think that he had the guts to speak in this manner to Elder!

”What a strong willed person you are, but I'm angry now,” the old woman laughed.

On her last word, she imposed immense pressure on Shen Lian. The pressure was worse than the combined power of the three Chamber Masters. Shen Lian found it hard to breathe.

He remained calm. Despite that he was tainted by the bloodstains from earlier, he behaved as though nothing had happened.

With a gentle wave of her crutch, a current with the shape of dragon flowed over.

It was not only the mana within it that was strong. The Meaning of Dharma within it was tenacious as well. The dragon-shaped current seemed to have come into life. It was as though a real dragon was birthed, and it could command rain and wind with its roars. The power it created could overcome all sorts of demonic gods.

Shen Lian knew that this was the most powerful part about immortal Zhenrens. They could merge the laws of nature with their Dao. Even when they used their supernatural powers casually, it would still be immensely powerful and could turn what was impossible into possible.

Just as how Mister Sea attacked Jinguang Temple back then, he had used the light of the water to create a flood, rendering thousands of cultivators helpless and powerless.

At their level, normal cultivators were nothing more than ants.

Their life had reached another level, and they were in control of the laws of nature. They could easily move mountains and seas to pass judgment on behalf of the Heavens.

The space seemed to have turned into a layer of paper, and it was merely fluttering helplessly against the dragon-shaped Qi strength. The dragon was unstoppable, and it was right in front of Shen Lian. It was ready to shred him into pieces and would not stop until it has accomplished its purpose.

Shen Lian could feel a strand of sword gleam that was dormant in the depths of his spirit. He cleared his mind of worries and immersed himself in the highest state of concentration in The Mastery of Senses. The nameless deity held a jade Ruyi and appeared quietly in the spirit sea within Shen Lian's heart.

Shen Lian had to anger the old woman in order for her to force him into a near-death state. That was the only way that he could try to make the nameless deity utilize the Trapping of Celestial Sword Aura buried in the depths of his spirit.

This was the biggest gamble Shen Lian had taken since he had started cultivating Dao. It was also a test.

If he lost, he would lose everything. Though, he was already at the end of his wits.

It was time for something different.
