Chapter 314 Immortality Part 1 (1/2)

Chen Jianmei's gaze landed on Shen Lian. It had been ten years since they last met and Shen Lian had overtaken him in the road of cultivation.

He was glad that things turned out to be as Zhang Ruoxu's expectations.

He was not jealous or envious of Shen Lian. He was genuinely happy that he had found an intimate friend on this lonely path of Dao.

Chen Jianmei smiled and nodded.

The murderous aura had locked on the two Doyens of Qinshan, causing them to be immobilized out of fear.

They were also regretful of their actions as they never expected Shen Lian to be so frightening. Authentic Xuanmen, worldly prodigy, he sure lived up to those names. People could not help but wonder that perhaps this was his destiny and that was why he was able to accomplish so much at such a tender age.

The thousands of bystander cultivators had their eyes fixed on Shen Lian as their hearts could not contain the excitement. Although they were nothing compared to Xuanmen sects, they had a feeling that they would witness the birth of an immortal Zhenren tonight.

This feeling was not vague and was clearly carved in the minds of the bystanders.

This was because Shen Lian's form has exceeded the level of the nine states of cultivation and reached a mysterious point which people longed to achieve. That sort of worldly independent charisma was etched deeply in everyone's soul.

Their hopes and cheers reflected their new-found faith towards Dao and that was the dream of all cultivators.

Shen Lian's Daoist robe swayed with the wind and he looked stunning. He took a step out and landed on the ground.

He looked ahead and all he saw was a vast stretch of yellow fog.

He stepped on the soil and the yellow fog started to vanish as if an invisible black hole absorbed it. The path cleared up and a Daoist in a red robe appeared at the canopy.

There was only a fresh aroma in the soil, no hints of filthiness.

The red-robed Daoist walked from the canopy and kowtowed, ”Greetings, Zhenren Shen.”

He was as steady as a mountain even though Shen Lian was right in front of him. There were wreaths of yellow gases around his body and a colorful cloud was concentrated above him. This showed the depth of his mana and his solid foundation, and that he was a person of Dao.

The red-robed Daoist stood up, placed his palm vertically in front of him and said, ”My name is Chicheng.”

Shen Lian nodded and smiled, ”It's great to see a successor to Daoist Dengfeng's Taiyue Real Shape Incantation.

Chicheng sighed, ”Zhenren Shen, you are only a heartbeat away from achieving immortality. You should have stayed in solitary to become a primordial spirit. Why get yourself involved in the filth of the secular mortal world?”

Shen Lian calmly replied, ”Even when temptation knocks, you can resist it. There is no difference between me and the mortal world. When you lecture me about Dao, it sounds like a summer bug talking about winter.

Chicheng was instantly displeased. He thought to himself, ”Although your level of cultivation is higher, you did not need to insult me like that.”

But he was always afraid, as out of the Five Ultimate Formations, Shen Lian would target him first.

Apparently, the Five Ultimate Formations were classified as gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

He was in charge of guarding the earth and was also the foundation of the Five Ultimate Formations as he has the strongest mana. In other words, if the earth formation was broken, it would be a piece of cake for Shen Lian to solve the remaining four.

The five elements would intergenerate. Once the Five Ultimate Formations started running, it would be run endlessly. Even a celestial being or Buddha would not be able to break it so easily.

There was nothing much left to say.

Chicheng replied coldly, ”Then we will have to see how deep is Zhenren Shen's Xuan techniques.”

A loud thunderous sound could be heard as the atmosphere became blurry again.
