Chapter 346 The Wind and Rain Would Follow (2/2)
Nobody could ignore when a sword gleam was formed.
The blood-red sword gleam looked as though it was made out of thick blood ink.
It could make celestials or Buddha who had escaped from being trapped in the secular mortal world to experience the taste of death again.
All of a sudden there was countless golden rays that appeared in the void. At that moment, the blood sword gleam was shattered with nothing left.
A young man appeared in the void, carrying a blood-colored long sword. One could not describe his face, but when he appeared, he was as eye-catching as the big dipper, and like the big dipper, he had the power to command death.
Another scene flashed by, and a light wheel which was let loose and was attacking the young man.
The perfect and free meaning of Dao made Shen Lian's heart tremble.
It seemed futile in the face of the young man's sword. The light wheel disappeared in the end.
Shen Lian regained his divine thoughts from the relic and he stared at Fahai. He said in a formal way, ”Thank you.”
Fahai was slightly curious, ”Do you think you can win, looking at the person's sword?”
Shen Lian responded, ”I now know that it is not easy for Senior Apprentice-Brother Chen to survive.”
It was his honest thoughts. The person obviously had mastered the meaning of Celestial Trapping Sword. His mastery was more profound than Shen Lian and he could control it well. Shen Lian could only scratch the surface.
Shen Lian saw the person's sword and his swordcraft. Although the sword itself and the swordcraft was not yet perfect, it was obvious that they were invincible.
Shen Lian could see the bit that was not perfectly fused, but he could not solve it.
There was not any other reason but that he did not have sufficient mana and cultivation experience.
The blood-colored long sword was perhaps the legendary Celestial Trapping Sword, but it was definitely not the complete version of it. Else, Baoyue the Venerable would have died at the first attack.
Fahai saw as Shen Lian did not answer his odds in winning, he understood that Shen Lian had no chance of winning.
Even though he observed in person how powerful Chen Beidou was, he still felt the thrill.
This person had broken through Ming Wang Temple. Huike dared not to appear and Baoyue the Venerable was forced to pass away. Would there be any master celestial of sword who could handle him?
Fahai said, ”He has been a big problem to many people in Xi Huang, but I feel that those are not his actual targets. It is possible that before you look for him, he will be here for you.”
Shen Lian replied, ”Perhaps.”
Fahai saw how calm Shen Lian was, he could not help but admire him. Regardless of the state of his mana, with this calmness, he deserved his achievement.
He continued, ”This time I am here is to ask if you can help me figure out Baoyue the Venerable's reincarnation.”
Shen Lian thought for a while and then said, ”Zen Master, can you give me the staff?”
Fahai nodded and the staff flew out of his hand. It landed lightly, like a feather in front of Shen Lian.
Shen Lian took the staff and knocked it on the floor. The floor cracked and revealed some tiny but closely packed trails.
Fahai gathered his spiritual senses on the cracks. He thought this was the Chinese hexagram of the augury. He wanted to know how Shen Lian practiced it.
Shen Lian then returned the staff to him and said, ”This staff is good.”
Fahai asked, ”Are you done with the augury?”
Shen Lian looked like he was about to laugh, ”I am just taking the breath of Baoyue the Venerable, I have not started with the augury.”
Fahai's expression went down, ”So the cracks are not the hexagram.”
Shen Lian laughed lightly, ”Of course not.”
