Chapter 351 The Orthodoxy (2/2)

Therefore, the biggest possibility was that his opponent thought of him as a blade grinder to perfect his own swordcraft, so that he could once again challenge Sword Saint Ziwei.

What Shen Lian learned was not only limited to the Being and Non-Being of Sword Aura; but he also got the meaning of this sword aura. Even though he did not know how Chen Beidou had come to know him so well, but Shen Lian was clear that he did what he did, because he knew Shen Lian well enough.

Nonetheless, Shen Lian did not confirm whether his guesswork was correct or not with Chen Beidou.

After all, his doubts would be cleared off when the time comes. Shen Lian did not pester further and returned to Mount Qing Xuan.

Along the way, no one stopped him and nothing happened in Qing Xuan. Shen Lian also took the time to have a look at Chen Jianmei's soul lamp. It was not extinguished. Even though this could not absolutely mean that Chen Jianmei was still alive, but it could give Shen Lian some peace of mind.

At the same time, he also left a mark on Fang Yanying.

Even though this child was stubborn, but she did not lack the seed of Dao cultivation. Shen Lian really did not wish anything bad to happen to her.

What surprised Shen Lian slightly was that Choushi actually attained Huandan.

Even though this fellow entered some celestial's historical remains with eight other cultivators from overseas, he finally found a spiritual elixir which enabled him to go through the eight transformations of Huandan.

Even though the eight transformations of Huandan was nowhere near the ninth transformation of Huandan but it was still a feat and there was still hope for longevity.

Shen Lian was not sure if he should cry or laugh about it because the other cultivators that went with Choushi on this expedition perished.

Speaking of which, the few times Choushi went on a hunt for treasure or celestial historical remains with other people, he would be the only one to stay alive till the end. If Shen Lian had not seen his birth chart, he would really have thought this fellow was some kind of a walking bad omen.

However, with the series of events, Choushi was becoming more and more unpredictable. Moreover, Choushi had sensed the divine thoughts that Shen Lian left on him.

But he did not act on it.

Shen Lian took back his divine thoughts and stopped looking after him. After all, with Choushi being able to sense it, Shen Lian was worried that Choushi actually had some unknown cards up his sleeves.

Everyone had their own secrets and Shen Lian has no intention to nose into his disciples' business.

There was no way for a human mind to be devoid of all conscience. Even with the secrets, Choushi had, Shen Lian still trusted that he would not do things that were disadvantageous to Qing Xuan.

The three-year period was approaching. One by one the disciples returned. Some of them were full of energy and spirit, some of them were indifferent. While all of them traveled out, the changes were massive. Also, except for the three disciples that perished, everyone else was safe and sound. The disciples of Qing Xuan did not lack Dao techniques, this trip transformed the resources that they had saved up for half of their lives into the improvements for cultivation.

There was even someone who, like Choushi, outstand amongst the disciples who attained the eight transformations of Huandan. It was truly something worth celebrating.

With the way things went, with the talents emerged in Qing Xuan, there were signs of replicating the story of the Twelve Guangqing Zhenrens.

If Chen Jianmei had not vanished, they were practically thriving.

At this thought, Shen Lian felt more pity about it. He achieved Dao and attained longevity was to stop Qing Xuan's deterioration. If Chen Jianmei achieved Dao again, Qing Xuan's impetus would be boosted.

To be able to have two immortal Zhenrens to appear consecutively was such an elating matter.

But all of this became uncertain following the disappearance of Chen Jianmei.
