Chapter 341 Wind and Thunder (1/2)

Fang Yanying acknowledged what Fahai just said, and Fahai returned to stare at the elegiac couplet for a long time.

It was only after she drank three cups of magical tea that Fahai came back to his senses and told the little monk to see her off. It was clear that he was not interested in having a conversation with her.

She came in a hurry and left in a hurry, serving as nothing more than a messenger for Shen Lian and Fahai. What she did not understand was, with their supernatural powers, her Uncle-Master and Fahai would be able to speak to each other even when they were thousand and ten thousand miles apart. There was no need for her to act as a messenger and pass on the message at all.

Since she could not understand it, she decided not to think about it altogether.

Unlike her outbound journey, no one came in her way during her homebound journey. The sun had barely risen from the east, and there were still plenty of morning dews. The early morning rays fell onto the plants and were refracted to create dreamy lights. The chirping of the birds suggested hints of life.

Fang Yanying decided to return the sword talisman to her Uncle-Master when she was back in the Temple of Killings.

After making such a decision, she deterred herself from thinking about its power.

If she could rely on the power of the sword talisman, she could easily live a comfortable life in this mortal world. The thought occurred to her, but she forced herself not to think about it. She was afraid that the more she entertained the notion, the more reluctant she would be to return the sword talisman back to her Uncle-Master.

Shen Lian was at the Temple of Killings, and before him was the formation made of five elements of Qi of essence. The surrounding Qi of Earth converged towards the Temple of Killings.

The convergence was a slow and quiet process. It would take ten, twenty, or even a hundred years for the effect to manifest itself. When that happened, the Temple of Killings would truly be the blessed place for cultivation.

Despite that, it might not rival the Five Peaks of Qing Xuan, but it would be sufficient for the formation of a sect.

Shen Lian's formation was unnoticeable to most. For one, Fang Yanying who just came in did not realize the formation. She only felt that the Qi of vitality was stronger than before, and it was comforting.

Respectfully, she told Shen Lian everything about Jinguang Temple. To be fair, there was not much to talk about, to begin with. In short, Fahai would pay him a visit soon.

Shen Lian was not surprised by what he heard. In the past, his level of cultivation was incomparable to Mister Sea, who had since changed his name to Fahai. However, they were equals now. Just as how he needed help from Fahai, Fahai needed his help too.

Both of them knew it all too well.

When it came to things like these, there was no need to hide purposefully. To them, feeling the elegance conveyed by a melodious tune was a natural process.

At a more advanced state, one would realize how little words can do. This was especially true when one was in the presence of an equally advanced person. The other party would be able to understand one's intention without even needing one to put it into words.

Though, their cultivation was not about extradicating human nature. It merely allowed them to exert better control over themselves.

Shen Lian knew there was nothing advanced about this. In fact, it hindered his cultivation process. It stopped him from attaining complete success in the state of holy deities.

”To follow one's inclinations but with perfect propriety”, that would truly show one's state.

To him, it would only be impressive when he was able to express his emotions naturally while acting in harmony with Dao.

This was not a state that one could attain by purposeful pursuit.

Shen Lian smiled as he spoke to Fang Yanying, ”Good work, I was watching you when you slayed the White Moon Demon Clan. It is truly remarkable that you could eliminate your fears at that moment. No wonder that your Master holds you in such high regard. One's potential is determined when they are born, however, one's attainment is contingent upon one's determination and hard work. It might take ten over years, or even a few hundred years; however, so long as you do not give up, you will be able to reach my level of cultivation. Hence, you can keep the sword talisman. Need not to worry that you will become reliant on it. When you have thoughts like these, you are already reliant on it.”
