Chapter 314 Immortality Part 1 (2/2)

Chicheng could be heard reciting the mantra orally, ”Indigenous, indigenous, indigenous within indigenous; abstruse, abstruse, abstruse and more abstruse. All verbal actions are performed in speeches and the celestials are silent. On the palm, it looks like a strange pearl; in the sky, it looks like the moon. Success exceeds material objects, it goes straight to the heaven of Daoism.”

The mantra did not stop even as Chicheng disappeared into the formation. Shen Lian's eyes were in full focus as his spirit flowed vigorously.

He could see that the yellow fog transitioned into clouds and its form was ever-changing.

He clearly knew that this is the formation of the earth element. Once he fell into the morass, it would be difficult for him to come back.

Shen Lian was calm despite being in a dangerous situation. A flock of clouds that radiated five different colors could be seen above his head. The clouds broke through the formation and the audiences saw it crystal clear.

The formation was somber with a pressure that could suffocate anyone. It kept everyone quiet.

As the five colored lights dashed through the barrier, people could see a stream of clear light radiating from Yuhua Stage and Jimo Peak. The bystander cultivators could not help but be amazed by the depth of Shen Lian's Xuan techniques.

The earth formation received endless Qi from the thickness of the soil of the ground. It could be easily transformed into unlimited murderous auras.

Although Shen Lian's divine Qi was able to break through the formation, he was actually greatly affected by it.

He could not relieve the mountain-like pressure on him.

Shen Lian then started tapping his feet on the ground and the thick yellow earth then began to crack. It was as if all Shen Lian did was lightly tap on the ground and yet the earth crumbled so effortlessly.

Chicheng groaned as he did not expect Shen Lian to discover the node of the formation.

His effortless tap was spot on the weakest part of the formation. It triggered the Qi of the earth and it gave Chicheng a taste of his own medicine.

That was the frightening part of the Taixu Strategy. The four-word incantation of Interpromotion and Interrestraint, 'Sheng Ke Zhi Hua', was the nemesis of most of the methods in the world. With Shen Lian's talent, all he needed was the one-word incantation of 'restraint', 'Ke', and he could see through the changes of the formation.

There was no need for someone like Shen Lian to delay the fight.

In a split second, the strong aura of the sword broke open the yellow fog and charged towards Chicheng.

Chicheng remained composed despite seeing the feisty sword aura charging towards him and having his true form revealed. He had a strong heart of Dao and stayed calmed despite being on the brink of death.

He put his palms together and like lightning, he produced a thick earth gleam and went head-on with Shen Lian's sword aura. Soon enough, the two forces collided and started fighting against each other.

The thick earth gleam was not strong in attacking but was extremely well in defending.

As their methods and techniques went against each other, loud explosions could be heard while the impacts shook the formation.

Onlookers could only see the shaking yellow light that was filled with Qi of vitality.

Chen Jianmei stood up with his sword in his chest. He was not concerned about Shen Lian and had full confidence in him.

Qingyin, on the other hand, could not help but look worried. She kept looking up at the sky as if she was expecting something to come.

Meanwhile in Lingxiao Palace of Mount Taicang, an old Daoist and a young girl stood outside of the palace. The vigorous fire stove triggered the Qi of vitality in the void as it displayed terrifying fluctuations of energy.

The five Daoists in the Lingxiao Palace fixed their gaze on the old Daoist.

Among them was Yuming the Honored Celestial. He said, ”Senior, feel free to let us know if you need anything. There's no need for you to block the doors.”

Daoist Dengfeng had a complicated expression as he stared into the stove. He was extremely embarrassed that the fellow who ate at his place was forcefully taken away. However, this elderly was able to use the Yin and Yang to start the True Samadhi Fire and make phenomenal elixirs. As an elixir enthusiast and master, he could not help but feel impressed.
