Chapter 316 Fate (2/2)

The bystanders could not get a good view of it. All they could see was the five colored microlights that shined through the sky. Soon enough, the five Zhenrens fell from the sky and landed on their knees on Yuhua Tai.

Shen Lian completely ignored them and went to greet Chen Jianmei. He then transformed into a ray of light and disappeared.

Only the five of them knew that Shen Lian had easily eliminated their mana and turned them into ordinary beings. This was way more devastating then killing them.

Meanwhile, a million miles away, on the peak of a mountain, Chen Jianmei said, ”You are so awe-inspiring after achieving immortality.” Apparently, Chen Jianmei noticed how effortlessly Shen Lian had stripped down the manas of his five opponents and he was deeply impressed by it.

Shen Lian shook his head and said, ”At this point, the power of mana can't be compared to cultivators who specialize in the nine states of cultivation. But this mana is not a big deal, it's fine if I don't have it. I was able to defeat them so easily because of the abstrusity of the Taixu Strategy. Their level of mana is not on par with mine and even if they outnumbered me, it would still mean nothing to me.”

He genuinely felt sentimental and it was indeed a different world after stepping into immortality.

No matter how much Qi of vitality you absorb or how condensed your mana was, you could never outdo the vital energy of the sun, the moon, and the stars.

The constant day-long flow of the Qingshui River that spanned three million miles too had a stronger mana than him. Even if he accumulated thousands and millions of years of cultivation experience, he would still not be able to outdo the river.

Heaped-up earth makes a mountain. But as it reached a certain height, the mountain would start to collapse.

This was because mountain ranges were formed by the pressure of geological processes and were the results of plate tectonics. The higher the peak, the more it would suffer from the invasion of the wind and rain. Moreover, the final height of a mountain would be affected by the ground.

Upon reaching this point, if one was still simply chasing the accumulation of mana, he would get a taste of his own medicine in the future.

Chen Jianmei responded, ”Now that you have attained Dao, Qing Xuan would have a stable foundation. Let's go and see the old man for one last time.”

Shen Lian sighed.

At that very moment, the entire Yuan Continent was trembling violently, far more intensely than the time Shen Lian attained Dao. In fact, the impact was as strong as the time when the Ultimate Demon King of the Ming Wang Temple transcended beyond the mortal world.

On Mount Taicang, Daoist Dengfeng's elixir cauldron was frozen in the void. The True Samadhi Fire was rolling in the cauldron as it released smoke that filled the entire Lingxiao Palace.

Its divinity was like a prison that suppressed the mortal world.

There were tons of spiritual ingredients from the heaven and earth inside the cauldron and its spiritual liquid dyed the cauldron a golden yellow color. It released a nice scent and countless plants around the area adopted the fresh fragrance.

On the other hand, all the cultivators in Guangqing were burdened by an extreme force that shocked their soul. They had no means of using any single hint of their mana. The five celestials of Guangqing, with Yuming the Honored Celestial as their head, did not have the luxury to care about the disciples.

Not only did this crazy Daoist hijack the elixir cauldron and block the entrance, he also intended to rebel here. What a hateful person.

Ruoxi was beside the old Daoist as tears rolled down her cheeks. The old Daoist could not stop coughing blood as his body started to tear apart like a cracked turtle shell.

The only reason the Five Celestials of Guangqing did not attack was because of the enormous flock of thunderclouds that were condensed above the Lingxiao Palace. The situation was extremely tense and the five celestials were afraid to be involved with it.

Yuming the Honored Celestial looked at the old Daoist and switched his gaze to Ruoxi.

He knew exactly what the old Daoist was trying to do. Obviously, the old Daoist wanted to make a spiritual elixir to reform the spiritual shape of the girl and reset her karma.

It was hard to believe that he would do something against nature's will. So it seems, he was about to enter Daoism anytime soon.

Yuming the Honored Celestial was somewhat relieved, as once the old Daoist departs, he would have one less rival. However, he also felt emotional. Fate is a funny thing. With Shen Lian who recently attaining Dao, this old Daoist followed through by departing.

Such circumstance was indeed well-planned. Looks like the spiritual elixir would be a success this time.
