Chapter 409 That is a Good Sword (2/2)

Fang Yanying saw uncle-master's firm look and had no choice but to muster a 'Yes', before vanishing in the wind and rain.

Dazizai Shapeless Sword Aura was only one word short of Shapeless Sword Aura, but in essence, it was as different as the heavens and hell. The word 'Dazizai' came from Buddhism, but had the subtlety and profound will of the peak of Daoism. Even if it was only a small success, it could still confer a bit of freedom by protecting oneself during battles that shake the sky and tremble the ground.

Shen Lian himself could not say where the fate would take him, as of now he could only work hard to sow the seeds of cultivation in his school. At this point in time, he missed Senior-Apprentice Brother Chen even more, because, for all of senior-apprentice sister, Lu Shouyi, or Yan Bugui, all were merely chosen at one time, they were not the long-term backbone of Qing Xuan.

In Qing Xuan, other than himself, the only grandmaster could make the Sea Stabilising Needle.

But it was a pity that both of them were afraid that they may not be able to stay at this place for long, especially Shen Lian himself. Though his efforts were fast, it did not mean that there will be no future troubles. He had already attracted the attention of 'heaven's law', even if he won against Chen Beidou this once, there might still be greater trials awaiting him. In terms of this he gained more and more respect for Lu Jiuyuan, as he did not know how the latter could stay so long in the heavens and earth, continuously improving, and come and go as he pleases.

Even so, no matter how good the other person's path was, it was not easier than the path he chose now. Shen Lian admittedly felt admiration and was not envious. He looked up to Mount Zhong and thought in his heart, ”You would have thought the same, no?”

Chen Jinchan followed behind the Honourable Witch, unsure if it was the dragon carp soup that he drank or the protection of the witch that made him climb the mountain so effortlessly, no matter how steep it was. His body had a wave of heat, over and over again, giving him no less power. Similar to the pace of the witch that was neither too fast nor too slow, but he did not realize that his pace and frequency was the same with that of the witch.

Mount Zhong was very high, the peak was nowhere to be seen. The good thing was that the Temple of the Mountain God was not built at the peak. Even so, they had walked until it was midnight and could see the moon up in the sky. It was barely a few days past the full moon, and the moon was then crescent-shaped, and looked rather swift and fierce, the moon showed its distinctive water-caltrop-like horn even in the snowy night.

Chen Jinchan who was always unaffected by external factors, became quite excited, after all he would be meeting the Mountain God very soon, someone of the highest order, taking care of all the life and death of all the beings in Mount Zhong.

His thoughts floated like the snowflakes, and suddenly with one step, in the ripples of the moonlight, he and the witch had already reached a piece of flat land on a cliff. The snow was very thick, the clouds were so thick he could almost touch them.

Even if the temple was not located at the top of the mountain, mere continuous walking of a half-month span, would not necessarily guarantee that one would reach there. He was unsure whether a moment ago the witch used a Dao technique that was akin to 'shrinking the ground into inches', first letting him follow behind to get him used to the pace and frequency, and later on utilized the technique, thus reaching the place in one step, so as not to place too much of a burden of his body.

After he finished cultivating, then only these complications can be understood. Then, he only saw that at the temple roof, a young man wearing a green Daoist robe seated there crossed-legged, he was the source of faith for all the beings in Mount Zhong – old Mountain God.

In front of him was a sword, placed flat. The moonlight flowed down his body like water, but other than this, no other extraordinary phenomena could be seen.
