Chapter 342 Four Symbols (2/2)

But who knew that Daoist Liuqing did not want to see him at all.

Shen Lian was not mad at her, after all she was the rightful owner of the Sanguang Holy Water and this area was under the territory of the Zizai Temple. Although Daoist Liuqing and the Founding Master enjoyed a friendship, Shen Lian cannot do anything if Daoist Liuqing refused to help him.

He understood her intention and wanted to leave. But considering that Daoist Liuqing was lying why would she so specifically say to go to fifty miles behind the mountain?

That was the reason why Shen Lian decided to probe further. If there was nothing over there, he could just leave.

He contemplated the idea and transformed into the wind. Before he arrived at his destination, he could tell that something was off. He could clearly sense that the spiritual opportunity surrounding him was surging like the waves.

He wanted to leave before he gets surrounded by it but a water light flash through his bier and he decided to take advantage of the situation and stay put.

Shen Lian could see four bamboo roots coming out from the soil from four different directions of north, south, east and west.

In a split second, it transformed into the Azure Dragon of the East, White Tiger of the West, Vermillion Bird of the South and Black Turtle of the North.

With just one look, Shen Lian was able to tell that the bamboos have evolved into the Four Symbols Formation.

The Zizai Temple was indeed the fruit of Dao and Buddhism. Even Xuanmen's formations too had its essence. Although it was just a simple Four Symbols Formation, once it was set up, the four symbols would change according to direction flawlessly.

If Shen Lian wanted to use his mana to break out from this formation, it would take him about half a month to do so. By then, there would be no point of obtaining the Sanguang Holy Water as it would be too late.

Moreover, his spiritual instinct knew that although the formation was set up by the bamboo, its roots were actually from the Sanguang Holy Water.

He was able to sense the breath of the holy water and that was why he decided to stay put.

Shen Lian's body radiated the protective lights and reduced the impact of the Four Symbols Formation.

He used the 'restrict' word incantation from the Taixu Strategy to investigate the situation.

The 'restrict' word incantation was a useful tool when it comes to penetrating spiritual opportunity. It was the nemesis to all formations in the universe and that was why Shen Lian was able to feel the ferocity of this formation. It was a case of simplicity at its best.

The four roots bamboo probably came from the same source as the six roots bamboo. Although it was not considered as a magic talisman, it became a pretty impressive instrument after years of refinement.

Other ordinary celestial school's mountain defense formation could not match the Four Symbols Formation.

It would be easy if things were as simple as that. However, the formation was linked to the Sanguang Holy Water. If he forcefully breaks out from the formation, the Holy Water might fade away.

Come to think of it, although Daoist Liuqing was not keen on meeting him, it was still possible for him to obtain the Sanguang Holy Water. Whether he could get it or not was up to his skills.

If he did not apply any fancy tricks and took it on face-on, he would then fail to obtain the Sanguang Holy Water.

By then, he could not blame Daoist Liuqing as it was his capabilities that caused the failure.

With that in mind, Shen Lian became more relaxed.

Perfection does not exist in this world unless the creation of creation had transcended beyond heaven and earth.
