Chapter 297 The Ranked Celestials (1/2)
The moonlight was bright and clear, and the two persons were playing chess at a mid-hill pavilion. Upon looking up, there was a partly visible heavenly palace.
Huanzhen waved his top sleeve, swept off the chess game, smiled faintly and said, ”Brother I, am considered as nothing. Junior Apprentice-Brother Mubai eliminated Bai Suhuan using only the slightest force. This is the incredible means of hearing shocking thunder at a completely silent place.”
The man who was dressed in white that played chess with Huanzhen was Huanzhen's Junior Apprentice-Brother, Chen Mubai. They even had blood relation but it was just that they belonged to different sects. But the fact that both of them could get into Powang together was already considered extraordinary to the world.
Chen Mubai looked at Huanzhen's direction, slowly said, ”Unfortunately even if Bai Suhuan is gone, compared to years ago, Qing Xuan's power is still unabated but continued to strengthen instead.”
He recalled the other day after Shen Lian caught Bai Suhuan, he was hiding secretly at one side. When he being stared at by the pair of eyes which were as clear as the clean water, he instantly felt that he was being read in and out completely, and that made him feel that chill was running down his spine.
If it was not because he was very decisive, he might have to lose some things on that day in order for him to return.
This has made him realize clearly that this young Qing Xuan Headmaster was already way ahead of them on the way of cultivation.
Huanzhen looked at the partly visible heavenly palace located at the peak of Mount Taicang and said, ”There is no harm. Even if Shen Lian can become an immortal Zhenren, there will still be an irreparable disaster that is going to happen to Qing Xuan.”
Chen Mubai looked stunned. He could not understand why Huanzhen would make such a statement, could it be possible that there was something he did not know? He said, ”Why do you say so, Senior Apprentice-Brother?”
Huanzhen said, ”It is not time to tell you yet. I think Honoured Master's Lingxiao Palace is going to become a magic talisman already.”
Chen Mubai also gazed at the colossal heavenly palace, majestic and grand. Under the moonlight, it could be vaguely seen that there was a purple Qi surrounding it, similar to a real dragon, as if its scales and claws could be seen. He could not help but said, ”Even if it is so, I'm afraid that I have waited for my entire life, hoping to see that Heaven Courtyard could reappear again. From then on, the celestials become immortal and there will be no more disaster.”
Huanzhen held Chen Mubai's hand, speaking in a low tone, ”There will be this one day.”
Shen Lian lived alone at the highest point on Zifu Peak. Among the five peaks in Qing Xuan, Zifu Peak ranked second highest after Taiyi. Nonetheless, at this peak, not only one could see the rest of the four peaks, but one could also clearly see the quietly flowing river below.
The clouds were surrounded by smoke and when sunlight arrived, it would turn to be all kinds of purple Qi which were dense and rising, just as the situation when Daoism Qi cultivators concentrated practicing at Zifu. This was where the name of Zifu Peak came from when 'Zi' means purple.
Yan Bugui walked up step by step from the bottom of the hill along the small path. This was because Zifu Peak was not only the second Fortune Land with the richest Qi of vitality among the five peaks in Qing Xuan, there were also a lot of Daoist courtyards built there. Although most of the Daoist courtyards were empty, some of them used to be the residences of immortal Zhenren who had spent the majority of their lives there.
Although they were gone, the buildings still remained. The later generations must still show respect.
Moreover, Qing Xuan's Taiwei Pavilion which stored inherited ancient books and records was also located at this peak.
