Chapter 343 Exquisite (1/2)

Even so, there were still flaws in heaven and earth and people of that level still could not achieve perfection.

As long as Shen Lian has the will, there would be a way to break the formation and obtain the Sanguang Holy Water.

With a calm voice, he said, ”Senior Liuqing, if you intend to test my cultivation experience, I am willing to fulfill your wishes.”

”This boy sure is confident.” Under the bamboo forest, an elegant looking nun took a white chess piece and placed in on the board. She looked about twenty years old, had a sharp face and her eyes were as clear as the fountain spring. Under the oversized monk robe, she looked slim and weak.

Behind her was a lady who was as elegant as her name, Qixiu.

The lady who looked weaker than Qixiu was Daoist Liuqing. She was a rare connoisseur who specialized in both Dao and Buddhism, and a good friend of Xuantian Sect's Lu Jiuyuan.

Sitting opposite of her was a monk with a single limb. He took on the black chess piece and said with a smile, ”Anyone who achieved immortality at his age can afford such confidence. On behalf of his master, you wanted to trap him for half a month to prevent him from confronting Chen Beidou and falling into the misfortune trials. But looking at it, this Four Symbols Formation may not hold him for long.”

The monk with a single limb was Huike who had disappeared for quite some time. No one would expect that he was actually in fact at the Zizai Temple.

This was because the Ming Wang Temple has never dealt with the Zizai Temple.

Daoist Liuqing responded, ”If he could break free from the formation in such short time, he should be able to take on Chen Beidou's sword. There's no harm in giving him some Sanguang Holy Water.”

Huike shook his head and said, ”Daoist friend, you have yet to witness Chen Beidou's sword. His swordcraft was perfected using the Chart of Celestial Extermination. Not many people in the universe could be his rival.”

Daoist Liuqing said, ”Back then when Sword Saint Ziwei came to my hermitage, he came up with the Dazizai Shapeless Sword Aura after reading the Zizai Scripture. That completed the art of sword and he became the most reputed master celestial of swords. Do you mean that Chen Beidou's swordcraft is as good as Sword Saint Ziwei?”

Huike responded, ”Chen Beidou obtained my temple's Chart of Celestial Extermination to complete his swordcraft. But I guess he has yet to reach the level of Sword Saint Ziwei. If not, he would have gone to look for Saint Sword Ziwei and not test his skills in the human world. But even if there is a gap, it's not a big one.” There was some despair in his gaze as if he recalled the day he witnessed Chen Beidou's frightening swordcraft.

The both of them chatted leisurely as they played a game of chess. If any ordinary being witnessed their game, they would most probably have the sentiments of, ”If a man heads the right way in the morning, he may die in the evening without regrets.”

Qixiu's gaze was not set on the game of chess. Instead, she looked towards the direction of Shen Lian and was worried for him.

She hoped that Shen Lian could break free from the formation but yet she did not want him to come out too soon and faced the trial of misfortune.

Her thoughts were complicated and have lost her sense of freedom.

Daoist Liuqing was not bothered by her disciple's state of mind and she too, could not care less about her Four Symbols Formation. She was fully focused on the game of chess against Huike who possessed impressive chess skills.

Gradually, the sun sank down to the east and the Four Symbol Formation remained silent.

Out of sudden, a dash of Qi of Xuan started raging.

Daoist Liuqing made a bad move but she could not care much about it at the moment. Her concentration has moved towards the Four Symbols Formation.

The Four Symbols expanded as if it was injected with endless Qi of essence.

It then condensed into countless yellow sand grains covered the area, making it hard to see the situation inside.

A hurricane then came by and the yellow sand grains twirled around the Four Symbols Formation and collided against the bamboo. As the momentum of the collision was huge, it stirred the spiritual opportunity and caused the earth to shake.
