Chapter 375 The Grandmaster’s Trial (2/2)

Shen Lian thought to himself, ”This must be the technique of Crossing the Void.” At the same time, he was getting more and more confused by the relationship between Qing Xiao and Ziling. After Qing Xiao had successfully cultivated the Boundless Taiyin, Ziling could clearly invoke the state of The Everlasting Taiyin too. Hence, she could cross the void just as a Tian Xian could.

Suddenly, he felt an incredible force tugging at his Primordial Spirit. He was being summoned to a secret location.

An image appeared in his heart. It was at the side of the netherworld, and he could see an ancient altar. Immeasurable fresh blood was flowing down the trench on the altar, and the abstruse marks on the altar glowed. The force befell the world.

Countless demonic soldiers followed behind Ye Liuyun. They worshipped at his feet. Ye Liuyun was sitting alone on his scarlet throne and had a purple cloak on. He looked exactly like an Asura Saint Lord. From afar, he communicated with Shen Lian through divine thoughts as he smiled at him.

Shen Lian responded with a smile. The Jinque Jade Booklet was no longer controlled by him and had flown into a dark hole.

”Brother Shen, you are an honorable man. Liuyun would definitely repay you handsomely.” The words that seemed to have come from Nine Underworlds swirled around Shen Lian's Primordial Spirit.

If Shen Lian wanted to resist the summon, there was a great chance that he would have succeeded. However, he did not do so. Regardless, he owed Ye Liuyun a favor. After this, he had been freed from his obligation. This was more comforting than having an invaluable treasure in his possession.

Shortly after, his Primordial Spirit flew back into his physical body. He opened his eyes and walked towards Gu Caiwei and Ruoxi.

Zhao Siming was fighting with Choushi; it seemed that they had met earlier than expected.

Unlike the previous four rounds, Choushi was not as laid back in this round anymore. He took the fight seriously. Each spell was performed with great precision, and there was not even a single opening for Zhao Siming's sword aura.

Zhao Siming was floating up and down, left and right; it was as though his body was one with the sword gleam. Just as the moonlight, he had encompassed the entire sky. However, he could not get any closer to Choushi.

That was when he realized that Choushi was not an easy opponent. In fact, he might be the strongest opponent that he had ever come across.

Zhao Siming did not dare to perform the swordcraft of thunderous sword aura. The sword gleam may be fast enough, but he could not operate it flexibly. If he did not manage to achieve anything with it, it would be a waste of his mana. In that case, his responses would be dulled, which would put him in a much worse position.

He was caught between offense and defense now. Even though he was still attacking, but he did not manage to deal any damage to Choushi. Albeit he did not use thunderous sword aura, Choushi was driving him slowly to the brink of exhaustion.

Choushi's previous opponents gave their best, and they did not manage to defeat him. In the end, they were worn out by Choushi.

Indeed, one should learn from one's predecessors.

Shen Lian spoke to Gu Caiwei, ”I have decided to let Choushi join the Bier Discourse of Dao. Senior Apprentice-Sister, do you think that is a good idea?”

Gu Caiwei replied, ”He seems to be a person who prefers to hide his weaknesses. I don't think he will be willing to take up the task.”

Shen Lian chuckled, ”He will definitely say yes. I'm going to let him take over Temple of Longevity.”

Gu Caiwei was shocked. As the founder of Temple of Longevity, she knew what the temple meant to Qing Xuan. It was more than just a supplementary branch. In fact, it represented Qing Xuan in the outside world and carried significant meaning. The person who took over Temple of Longevity would be an influential individual in the cultivation community beyond the seas. It would even be possible for the person to catch up to Xuantong Demon King. After all, Temple of Longevity was backed by Qing Xuan - a Daoist sect with ten thousand years of history.

”It would be hard to convince everyone else,” she replied.

Shen Lian smiled, ”Then he would just have to gain everyone's acknowledgment.”
