Chapter 361 Astral Projection of the Primordial Spiri (2/2)

From time to time, the Southern Heavenly Gates would release the soul cleansing Qi that made Shen Lian felt as heavy as a heroic poem that silently trespassed his heart of Dao. In fact, he felt like he saw ten or more unsmiling heavenly marshals, tall as the roofbeams, standing next to the pillars, holding metal-tipped bows and banners. All around stood gods in golden armor, brandishing their club and halberds, wielding their cutlasses and swords.

They glared at him and yelled, ”Trespassers of the Southern Heavenly Gate will be summarily executed.”

Summarily executed, summarily executed, summarily executed...

The thunderous chant was ringing in his ears as their vast killing vibes came crushing on his heart of Dao like the flowing stream of water of the milky way. Most cultivators who were in the nine states of cultivation would have fallen from the sky and smashed into pieces.

But Shen Lian remained composed and was not distracted by the deities. His mind was like a sword, it cut through whims and the voices of deities started to fade away from his ears.

He then arrived outside of the Southern Heavenly Gates. The gates were wrapped by the clouds but the solemn-looking pillars were visible. It was so majestically huge that a human would look like an ant next to it.

He observed the inside of the Heavenly Gates but all he saw was vast emptiness. It was an unknown territory, yet it was also the place where many celestial beings have come and gone.

The plaque with the three characters of the 'Southern Heavenly Gates' carved on was, in fact, thousands of miles away from him. But as he looked up, it was just right in front of his eyes. His divine thoughts alighted on the plague, giving him the point of view of the plague. Overlooking the world from that point of view was way above the secular mortal world.

It was as if he could see the joys and sorrow, the birth and the death of mankind.

He could see the birth of a bird in the forest and at at the same time, saw a cicada who died in its own sad song. He also saw a bedridden man who was being nursed by his wife. He could not swallow the medicine and be coughing blood.

The joy and sorrow of the mortal world had nothing to do with him but he could see every one of it.

All of a sudden, his hand was caught by another hand.

A Primordial Spirit who wandered between whims and reality would still be able to feel sensations. In fact, as a primordial spirit was directly related to the soul, they could feel any slightest sensation with a great deal of sensitivity.

He could feel the softness of the hand that held on to him, it was the warmest and most comforting jade-like hand. He saw Ziling's beautiful face as she took his hand and said, ”Let's go.”

Mount Taicang, inside Lingxiao Hall.

Yuming the Honored Celestial kept a nice beard. Whenever he encountered an important incident, he would caress his beard. The golden crown on his head would then radiate light. He looked so majestic and profound that living creatures would easily surrender to him.

Four people then entered the hall, one after another. The first person was a man in a purple Dao robe with the embroidery of the eight trigrams. He had a head of long hair and long beard, and was oozing the vibes of a celestial being. His name was Daoqing and he was one of the five celestials of Guangqing. He had the longest history with Dao but his cultivation experience was not as deep as Yuming the Honored Celestial.

Yuming the Honored Celestial was already standing, he walked towards Daoqing and said, ”Senior Apprentice-Brother Daoqing, after so many years, the Heavenly Gates resurfaced once more.”

Daoqing was followed by an ultimately beautiful nun who was dressed in a green outfit. The hall lighted up as she walked in.

Daoqing responded, ”Dengfeng and Shaowei have left for the Yin mountain. I believe they won't be able to come back anytime soon. The three of us should depart first and this time around, we must find the Jinque Jade Book.”

The nun whose name was Lingguang smiled, ”Senior Apprentice-Brother Daoqing is right. We have just mastered the Lingxiao Hall and then the Southern Heavenly Gates resurfaced. Looks like we Guangqing are fated with the Heaven Courtyard. Just like the saying goes, 'if we don't accept the gifts of heaven, we would be punished.' Chief, let's start immediately.”

Yuming the Honored Celestial smiled and responded, ”I totally agree with Senior Apprentice-Brother Daoqing and Junior Apprentice-Sister Lingguang. Without further ado, let's go!”
