Chapter 284 There Is No Redeemer (2/2)

Shen Lian also visited Qingjiang only immortal Zhenren from the past generations, Shui Lingzi's adobe. It was a grass hut. After being consumed by the years, there were no traces of Shui Lingzi to be found and the few lines of words on the mountain walls by the side of the grass hut were also blurred out.

Shui Lingzi finally perished during the trials and Dao and vanished from this universe without a trace. Due to the underperformance of Shui Lingzi's successor, that only thirty or forty percent of the swordcraft was passed down.

This was one of the troubles that many immortal Zhenren faced. Even though Qing Xuan had many portraits of immortal Zhenrens but in actual fact, those who were able to pass on their true teachings to their disciples were very few.

The greatest lesson Shen Lian got was that he deeply felt the mercilessness of time. Under the rinsing of time, many marks of powerful existence were annihilated.

At the same time, with the passing time, there was one generation after another of new people who would rise up and reached the top of the world.

Ruoxi only needed to cultivate in the Taisu Sect, that was why her mind did not grow much but her qualifications were out of this world. She quickly grew as she followed by Shen Lian's side and drew inferences. She progressed really quickly in her epiphany towards Dao.

Sometimes, when Shen Lian heard her explain the sentiment she had after the Huandan stage, he was shaken to the core.

He did not know whether it was because of the reincarnation of Yuan Jun or that she was influenced by the Synchronized Heart Mantra of Taisu and had absorbed Fairy Tianmeng's knowledge.

Luckily for him, after making a round outside, he could finally return to the mountains.

The sky was high, the clouds were pale and the celestial mountains were adorable.

Shen Lian held Ruoxi's hand as they entered the little town at the foot of Qing Xuan Mountain. Now, many people in the little town knew that Shen Lian was Qing Xuan's Celestial Teacher and his position was very high. However, they were unclear that he was exactly the Chief of Qing Xuan.

After all, no matter how close a mortal was to a cultivator, there were still two separate worlds and there was hardly any intersection.

Qing Xuan did not purposely divide the two, it was them who were unable to blend in.

Yan Bugui had opened a restaurant but this did not mean that he could return to those days when he was still a mortal.

It was inappropriate to vainly attempt to go on with one's life as a mortal after becoming someone who is out of the ordinary.

Shen Lian passed by Yan Bugui Restaurant, stopped in his tracks and held onto Ruoxi's hand as he went in. In the big hall, there were two Daoists who were drinking alcohol and consuming meat.

He said with mirth, ”You two seem to have it easy.”

He was silent as he held onto Ruoxi's hand and when he suddenly spoke, it startled the two Daoist until their three immortal souls and seven mortal forms came out.

They turned towards Shen Lian and immediately bowed, ”It is an honor to see you, Headmaster.”

Shen Lian smiled faintly, ”You may rise. Why are you two at the foot of the mountain?”

These two were Qing Xuan's disciples, Shoujing and Shouxuan. Both their arms were cut off by Zuo Shaoqing back then and it was Shen Lian who used the Life-regenerating Elixir to connect their severed arms back.

Shoujing whose name meant to guard silence was not so silent, he licked his face and said flatteringly, ”How are you, Headmaster? Senior Apprentice-Brother and I were about to go on a voyage to search for the Flower of Golden Steel to forge two precious swords. We then remembered that Uncle-Master Yan is keeping watching of the Longevity Temple so we wanted to bring some alcohol for him from here.”
