Chapter 317 Passing Away (1/2)

Ruoxi had been following old Daoist to many abstruse states between heaven and earth to pluck and collect spiritual medicines. The old Daoist had also passed on all his subtle Dao techniques and skills to her.

Now, she realized with greater clarity that the spiritual elixir in the cauldron was meant for her. She was so touched that it was ineffable.

Unfortunately, when the elixir was completed, it meant that old Daoist would die.

Old Daoist had already told her long ago that he should have left three hundred years ago. However, due to a strong greed for life, it had been postponed until today. A big mistake was made and it was too late for regrets.

Now, there was no doubt he would pass away. Yet, he was very pleased.

His Daoist body ruptured and his blood gushed out. He looked pale and haggard, except for his eyes that still seemed at peace and filled with wisdom.

The old Daoist said softly, ”When this elixir is done, God's punishment would follow, but you don't have to be afraid. You should just use the Dharma that I've taught you earlier on and hide inside the elixir cauldron. Remember to adhere strictly to your conscience.

Ruoxi nodded her head.

The old Daoist looked at the Five Celestials of Guangqing again, especially at Yuming the Honoured Celestial who was related to Lingxiao Palace's Qi dynamic. His mana was so powerful that it could almost beat old Daoist even while he was in his prime. Unfortunately, when the power reaches its peak, it would then start to decline. According to the natural order, surpluses would be used to fill shortages. In another five hundred years, his circumstances might not be as good.

That day, the old Daoist could stop the five of them. This was due to a few reasons. Firstly, he would be entering Daoism so the five of them were afraid that he would counterattack when dying. Secondly, they did not dare to come close to avoid involvement, as it would lead to God's punishment.

The most important thing was definitely the spiritual elixir. This elixir could reconstruct a Daoist body and thus it would serve as a very big temptation for the immortal Zhenren. Upon getting the elixir, they could construct another innate Daoist body and duplicate themselves. If in the future their original self encountered any serious disaster, they could rely on the spiritual elixir to self-duplicate and be resurrected.

Due to this thought, the five of them did not want to leave, as it might just realize Shen Lian's primordial spirit celestialism.

The Daoist mind is profound, the human heart is treacherous. As long as this thought was not pure, the old Daoist could go with the flow, bringing about this situation.

Thunder and clouds clustered in the sky. When viewed from afar, it seemed like an enormous lake where the thunderbolts gathered.

The thunderbolts clustered and formed shapes. Some even turned out to be physical forms like the various types of birds and animals, and even the spiritual animals in myths and legends.

Sometimes one or two thunderbolts would spill and strike Lingxiao Palace, leaving the Five Celestials of Guangqing in a state of shock.

Luckily, Lingxiao Palace was built uniquely. Although the outer layer of Dao defense could be easily broken, the inside would not be damaged at all, preventing injuries to any of them.

Although old Daoist was weak and had one foot in the grave, he continued to give out marks of Daoism. The true Samadhi Fire continued to burn even brighter, at the same time there was an abundance of Qi of Dao being infused into the elixir cauldron.

It seemed like the elixir cauldron could not take the old Daoist's mana and the flame of Samadhi Fire, as there were some fine cracks.

Daoist Dengfeng's heart ached badly at the sight of his elixir cauldron. This cauldron had been together with him since he entered the Dan Dao when he was still young. Although the cauldron was not some magical talisman, it had been there for a thousand years and so it had sentimental value and was very meaningful to him.

He almost resorted to using Taiyue Real Shape Incantation in order to get the elixir cauldron back.

Fortunately, after cultivating for many years, he could get rid of his selfish thoughts. He remained rational and suppress his urge to do that.

Finally, a place of enlightenment appeared mid-sky. It was a desolate sea of flowers. A butterfly fluttered gracefully in the sea of flowers. In the middle of it sat the old Daoist together with Ruoxi.

At this moment, the thunder lake in the sky suddenly collapsed and stroke the area surrounding the elixir cauldron. Instantly, the elixir cauldron was crushed and turned into flying ashes.

This elixir cauldron had been through thousand years of calcination but could not even handle a strike from the thunderbolt of God's punishment. This showed how scary the thunderbolt was.

In the thunderbolts, there was a waft of exotic fragrance which was hundred times stronger than before.

One of the human-shaped elixirs suddenly appeared.

Xuan Qi was surrounding the human-shaped elixir and the thousands of thunderbolts strikes did not hurt it even a little.

The sea of flowers moved towards the human-shaped elixir.
