Chapter 423 Settled (1/2)

The moment Chen Beidou saw the deity that encompassed Shen Lian, he knew who he was facing. He was not ignorant, which was why he was trembling - out of excitement.

There was no one else who could represent the ultimate stage of swordcraft better than the person before him, even though he did not major in swordcraft.

A deity could either be acquired or innate, the one that he was facing was an innate deity. The deity was a great being who was birthed before the creation of Universe. Even the Daoist Master and Buddha attained Dao at a later stage than this deity.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

Despite he was once a Celestial and was currently a god, but when he recalled secrets as such, Chen Beidou still harbored the ridiculous feeling that legends were coming alive in reality.

Of course, the deity in front of him now was not the real deal; he might not even have one-millionth of the power of the real deity. In fact, this might just be a trace that was left behind, which Shen Lian had since combined with.

This was precisely why he got to peek into his swordcraft now. In fact, he could feel the excitement and jealousy of the Celestial Trapping Sword, the sword which had been completely subdued by him. The reason behind its emotion was clear - Shen Lian had merged with the deity, and he was holding the Five Elements magical sword.

In the entire world, from the past to the future, there was only one sword that was fit to be commanded by him and Shen Lian's Five Elements magical sword was definitely not it. This statement remained true even if the deity was merely a remnant left behind in the passage of time.

Above was what the Celestial Trapping Sword felt.

The power of the Celestial Trapping Sword was not even one-thousandth or one-hundred-thousandth of what it used to be back when it was used by that deity. However, so long as he could take even just a look at the shadow of that deity's swordcraft, he would have a chance to revert the Celestial Trapping Sword back to its original strength. Together, both he and the sword could progress towards the pinnacle of swordcraft.

Shen Lian merged with the deity that he visualized, and what he managed to capture was just a small portion of the severed Dao. Despite its unique characteristic, it would not be able to allow him to even make contact with the true power of the great being.

Though, it would suffice for now. Even a hint of the shadow would elevate him to a higher state. Right now, he could even perceive everyone in the world who was connected to him.

He saw the founding master, Ziling was staring at his direction, he saw his Senior Apprentice-Sister Gu Caiwei praying at the Hall of the Grandmasters, and Zhao Xiaoyu was at Mount Jimo playing a melancholic tune on an instrument that looked like a flute. He also saw Ruoxi riding on Qianmo and was making her way to Mount Zhong.

He saw Yanxu, and he saw Huanzhen who was on Ruo Shui.

Fang Yanying was somewhere in Mount Zhong, and she was looking ahead at his direction.

In fact, he even saw Mr. Su who taught him the Being and Non-Being of Sword Aura.

Mr. Su was in an exquisite room. He was drawing the brows of a beautiful woman who was dressed in red. The woman had a mark of the flames on her forehead. Suddenly, he unleashed his sword aura towards the air.

”Why?” The woman asked.

”Nothing, just felt like someone was peeping at me. Maybe I made a mistake,” Mr. Su smiled.

”That is weird. There is only a handful of those who have the capabilities to spy on the Palace of the Undead, and these people are not that rude. Should I look into it?”

Mr. Su held her soft hands and replied gently, ”It is fine. The reason why we are living in seclusion is to stand aloof from worldly affairs. Mrs., let's let this slide.”

”Looking at you now, no one would believe that you are the famed Sword Saint Ziwei.”

After being discovered by Mr. Su, Shen Lian stopped looking at him. Moreover, he realized that the move that allowed him to be fully aware of the world earlier dimmed his self-divine aura considerably.

To think that a Daoist Master and Buddha could see through the past and the future by just opening their empowered eyes; they were privy to all causes and effects, this was unimaginably scary.

Shen Lian's thoughts spun faster than the sparks.

At the same time, he thrust forward with his Five Elements magical sword; it was a simple pierce without any variation or ingenious Dao. In fact, it was so light that it seemed almost non-existent.
