Chapter 331 Ziling and Qing Xiao (2/2)

However, this was not the vibe that Shen Lian got from Ziling and Qing Xiao. Even if the vital force of their spirit was the same, Shen Lian could tell that they were completely different.

When he was looking at Qing Xiao, he could see Ziling at the same time too. Both of them did not take their turns to appear and disappear, but they had always existed together at the same time. The decisive factor was who managed to gain control over the body.

Shen Lian guessed that they should have the same natural divine aura and Primordial Spirit. This was why they were unable to solve the problem by splitting their spirit apart and creating another body to contain it.

The most efficient way would be to eliminate one of them. Then, Yin and Yang would be able to be reunited. Only then would the real Fairy Ziling return. Having attained Dao twice, she could rely on that as her foundation and finally complete her cultivation by stepping into the realm of Tian Xian. Then, she would just have to wait for the right moment to transcend beyond the mortal world.

Even though he shared the same source of mana as them and was the best candidate for the task, Shen Lian would never help Qing Xiao to do harm to Ziling.

Of course, he would not offer to help Ziling to eliminate Qing Xiao; not that Ziling would let him do so in the first place.

Initially, he came with the intention of healing the founding master's injuries; now, he had no choice but to leave - how unexpected!

Shen Lian could not do anything but to let go of this for now.

Half a month later, Gu Caiwei returned with news relating to the Dragon Transformation Pond. Apparently, it would only be activated in another thirty years, which was twenty years after the Bier Discourse of Dao.

The dragon could not wait to take over Heishui Kingdom; however, demons and monster perceived time differently from normal humans. To the former, thirty years were the same as thirty days.

As for the true water of the sky, unfortunately, it was no longer at the Heishui Kingdom anymore.

Right before he died, the King of Heishui Kingdom had sent away the true water of the sky along with the princess.

This was common knowledge at the sea regions, and the dragon even went as far as putting a bounty on the princess.

After he heard about this, Shen Lian started calculating as to the designs of nature. However, the whereabouts of the princess of Heishui Kingdom was shrouded in mist, and he could not obtain any information in relation to that. He knew that something must have veiled the designs of nature.

At this rate, he would have to delay his plans to bring Jing Qing to the Dragon Transformation Pond. After all, it would be another thirty years before the pond was activated.

As for now, Shen Lian used the monitoring technique to observe the disciples who were out exploring.

He was focusing on Zhao Siming and Choushi.

Choushi hid his identity and had partnered up with the non-formal cultivators beyond the seas to explore the ancient relics left behind by the previous experts. However, he ran into great danger on his first expedition. He was the only lucky person who managed to escape.

Even though he was probably thinking that he was in luck, but before every disciple left, Shen Lian had planted a strand of his divine thoughts on them. His Primordial Spirit was strong and he had understood hints of the profoundness of the Dream Heart Sutra. The divine thoughts attached to the disciples would come in handy in time of danger.

After all, he was not a cruel chief who was void of emotions. He was not about to treat the disciples in the sect as livestock and let natural selection take its course.

If they have joined Qing Xuan, so long as they did not betray the sect, Shen Lian would want the best for them. He would not want to see any of the disciples die without a good cause.

Of course, the rest of the disciples were unaware that the chief was looking after them and monitored their every move.

Zhao Siming was proud, and the first thing he did was to look for demon beasts.

There were plenty of spiritual materials where the demon beasts dwelled; it was just as how the cows and goats would live near water and food source.

In Qing Xuan, Drunken Daoist was considered as capable. He had mastered Dao of Talisman and swordcraft. However, Zhao Siming did not have the patience for Dao of Talisman, but he managed to learn the essence of swordcraft.

He had a smooth beginning by relying on the sword pill given to him by Drunken Daoist and his sword techniques. However, he had been fighting against stronger demon beasts.
