Chapter 329 Grandmaster (2/2)

A wooden sword appeared in Shen Lian's hand, and that was the Xuande Sword. He rubbed his finger along the length of the sword, and yellow ray shone from within. He spoke, ”This sword used to be a thousand-year-old sandalwood, and has since manifested spirituality throughout my cultivation. Moreover, it received merits and its quality was raised in turn. I have also merged the phoenix's Fire of Nirvana within it. Out of the five elements, it now contains wood and fire. I still need three more in order to complete it.”

”The three remaining materials would be metal, water, and earth. However, these three elements exist in abundance. Which three are you looking for exactly?” Gu Caiwei asked in curiosity.

”According to my calculations, the three materials that have the highest compatibility with Xuande Sword would be the cold iron of a thousand-year-old, Tianyi true water, and the star sand of the Universe,” Shen Lian replied.

”It would not be easy to procure these three items,” Gu Caiwei laughed bitterly.

Shen Lian spoke, ”Indeed. I'm glad that I already found out where is the true water of the sky. At the Eastern Sea six thousand miles from here, there is a kingdom called Heishui Kingdom. The holy water in the kingdom is the true water of the sky.”

As he spoke, he pointed at Jing Qing and laughed, ”The King of Heishui Kingdom was bitten by a dragon, and the dragon has taken over the water kingdom and is preparing to attack the dragon clan of the Eastern Sea. It is aiming to take over the Dragon Transformation Pond. I thought about it and remembered that Jing Qing is a flying serpent, Teng. As the saying goes, ”After a thousand years of cultivation, snake would become Teng, and Teng would become dragon after overcoming the Trial of Heavens”. With the help of Dragon Transformation Pond, he might be able to evade from the Trial of Heavens and become a dragon. He definitely has the potential that could rival the ancient Great Deity Yinglong.”

Gu Caiwei pondered upon it for a while and replied, ”Jing Qing has been here for such a long time. Even though he is a Daoist child here, but he is a part of Qing Xuan. If we have the chance to help him to become a dragon, we should give it our best.”

Shen Lian replied, ”That is what I am thinking too. I have decided to bring him along when I am searching for the true water of the sky. I will see if I can get him into the Dragon Transformation Pond.”

Gu Caiwei spoke, ”Let's not rush things. We can request for Temple of Longevity to research into it and see what we can find out about the background of the dragon clan of the Eastern Sea and that of the dragon.”

”Indeed.”

”Didn't you tell me about all of these just so that I can relay the message to Temple of Longevity when I'm on my way to look for the child? Junior Apprentice-Brother, you are becoming more and more manipulative.”

Shen Lian coughed.

Gu Caiwei smiled and left.

After Gu Caiwei left, Shen Lian told Jing Qing to bring Ruoxi to the back of the mountain so that she can have a good rest. For the past few years, Ruoxi had been cultivating hard as she followed the old Daoist around. She had not gotten any rest, which was why Shen Lian wanted to let her relax and unwind.

Shen Lian's Daoist courtyard was located at the back of the mountain. It was decorated in a minimalistic manner, and he was sure that Ruoxi would love it when she was there.

Shen Lian was the only one left in the hall. He operated his Qi and calmed his mood down.

After that, he walked out of the door. Five-colored ray of the cloud manifested underneath his feet, and he soared into the sky. Within moments, he was at the foot of Zifu Peak.

He walked up the mountain on foot, and he was not headed to Taiwei Pavilion, but the hall of the founding masters of the Taixu branch.

Shen Lian walked calmly at a steady pace, and he could feel that the spiritual vigor up ahead. It seemed to be dormant and did not fluctuate at all. That was where his grandmaster, Fairy Ziling was having her solitary retreat. Ten years had passed, and her injuries did not heal.

Daoist Dengfeng's Taiyue Real Shape Incantation was impressive indeed. He thought he would help his grandmaster out and try to regain their reputation.

Taixu Strategy was unrivaled in the world. Back then, Fairy Ziling had just attained Dao for the second time, and her foundation was still shaky. On top of that, she was ambushed, which was why she got injured. Given another three to five years, Fairy Ziling would not have been injured even if Daoist Dengfeng were to ambush her again.

Shen Lian snapped out of his thoughts and realized that he was in front of a temple situated on top of the cliff.
