Chapter 310 Five Ultimate Formations (1/2)

To be fair, amongst those from Luoism who received the Invitation from the King of Hell, only a small portion of them died. Those who got killed were either extremely evil or were cultivating some form of cruel and evil techniques, both serving as good reasons for Shen Lian to kill them.

After Shen Lian's intervention, there were only two of them left who were capable of competing in the Daluo Devotion Ceremony.

One of them was Zhao Xiaoyu's Nine Lotus Order, and the other was Sacred Nun Qingyin who had the support of Guangqing.

In terms of mana, even if Sacred Nun Qingyin had three times her power, it would not stand a chance against Zhao Xiaoyu. Even if injured by the assassin from Tianwaitian, Zhao Xiaoyu would still be able to triumph over Sacred Nun Qingyin.

However, Sacred Nun Qingyin had amassed considerable influences among the various branches of Luoism. She had plenty of experts to back her up. Apparently, even Guangqing Zhenrens had come to lend a helping hand during the Daluo Devotion Ceremony this time around and had shocked the petty opponents.

Despite that Shen Lian had killed some of the members of Luo Order, after Shen Lian's act of sending out the Invitation from the King of Hell around Jimo Peak, a lot of the branches of Luo Order gathered around him and looked up to Zhao Xiaoyu.

These days, Shen Lian's admiration for Zhao Xiaoyu's methods intensified. She was a born religious leader, and she was able to conquer most of these people with her incomparable charm. They took her as their superior willingly without so much as complaining.

Moreover, this showed how religions triumphed over celestial schools in certain aspects. At least in terms of manipulating the cultivators, they did it better than the celestial schools.

However, most of these people were of dubious character. Despite that Shen Lian had killed most of the extremely evil individuals, those who were left were not too kind either. However, as the saying goes, 'there would not be any fishes where the water ran too clear'. Shen Lian did not have much influence over Luo Order anyway, and he decided to just let it be.

Despite his talents and his attainment at such a young age, he was still humble around these people. After all, he bore the teachings of Qing Xuan and was knowledgeable. On top of that, he was at an advanced state of cultivation. Hence, the clash of ideas with these people ignited sparks of wisdom. He was especially moved by this.

According to an ancient Chinese saying, it is necessary to experience the world in order to enhance one's learning process.

After all, the wisdom of a single person is nothing when compared to that of the masses. There would definitely be a mistake amid a thousand thoughts of the wise, and there would definitely be something to learn from a thousand thoughts of the unwise.

Even if the masses were stupid, their combined wisdom was something even the Daoist master and Buddha could not ignore.

While Shen Lian was discussing Dao with the rest, something was happening over Jimo Peak, at Temple Qingyin.

Temple Qingyin was built recently by Sacred Nun Qingyin, and it was located on top of a giant rock with the radius of a few miles. It was impressive and had a hint of the calmness of Daoism.

Chen Mubai was dressed in white, and his clothes were spotless. His expression was calm, and he walked into the hall from the outside.

Qingyin welcomed him respectfully.

Amongst the Twelve Zhenrens of Guangqing, Chen Mubai was the one who rarely fought against anyone. However, he was mysteriously powerful. Even Huanzhen treated him with respect usually. Apparently, he had reached an unprecedented breakthrough with the Hunyuan Qigong that he was cultivating. It evolved from what it once was and was something of its own now.

He walked with great divine Qi, and he nodded when he saw Qingyin welcoming him. He did not seem too enthusiastic.

Qingyin was familiar with the Uncle-Master's demeanor and hence was not angered by his lack of enthusiasm.
