Chapter 627 Technique of Thunder (2/2)
Jia Zhen knew that he had unknowingly entered into the 'trance' state and according to his uncle, he would be able to go to Qing Xuan Celestial Mountain and meet Zhenren Shen.
He was extremely delighted, so much so that we wanted to jump for joy.
However, there was a soft melodious voice which rang in his ears. That voice was like having a pool of chilled water splashed all over him, 'You are leaning so close to your Lord, are you seeking death?'
Jia Zhen was startled. He did not realize he had walked towards Kui Li and was only one foot away from her.
He feared of accidentally offending her. Though he broke through the state of 'trance' and became Huandan Zhenren, he was afraid that he was not capable to be her opponent.
At this very moment, Wei Ran returned and took out a jade scroll which contained the secret method. Kui Li scanned it with her spiritual consciousness and she understood it swiftly. She practiced a mana which fell upon the dying body of King Ahyu. Instantly, King Ahyu turned into a crystal clear fruit, astonishingly beautiful.
Kui Li nodded her head satisfactorily and said, ”This secret method is indeed useful.”
Wei Ran smiled and said, ”As long as my Lord likes it. This box contains the six treasures that were collected by my men who I ordered to obtain it from the main department, along with the three remaining treasures found in this very building. I have placed them together in this box.”
He took out a treasure box which was three foot long and opened it. In the box laid nine scarce and precious treasures, amongst the lot was a bunch of Zhima that seemed to be dozing off, yet it had an overwhelming spiritual aura.
Kui Li conveniently placed the Fruit of Desire into the box, covered it, created a seal made out of five-colored divine lights and then proceeded to conceal the box.
She said, ”Jia Zhen, I, Lord of Mount Chui Ping hand you this present, when you have reached the mountain, pass it to Shen Lian. Do tell him that I have another task yet to be completed so I will not be attending Buddha's Birthday Celebration he'll be hosting.”
The thought that Kui Li's present was prepared for Zhenren Shen never once crossed Jia Zhen's mind. What was more surprising was that Kui Li entrusted him with the task to pass it to Zhenren Shen.
He spoke rather slowly and said, ”I am afraid that I might lose this present along the way, or have it snatched by others.”
Kui Li replied confidently, ”In this treasure box lay my five colored divine lights and in the whole world, there are only a few people who are able to open it. Even if there was such a heedless person who dared to take it away from me, would he not be afraid of me murdering all of his family members?”
Wei Ran, on the other hand, admired Jia Zhen for having such luck, only a mighty figure like Demon Lord Kui Li would not prioritize these scarce treasures. Hence, being able to voice out such brutal words with utter confidence.
Moreover, if the people knew that these treasures were presents for Zhenren Shen, no one would dare to steal it. Given that celestials or Buddhas all had the ability to predict and calculate future events, they would not be foolish enough to take such advantages.
After Kui Li finished speaking, she vanished into the air and left once again. Her actions were naturally graceful, Wei Ran and Jia Zhen watched her with admiration. Although Demon Lord Kui Li was rather ferocious, it was undeniable that her existence was compatible with celestials and Buddhas.
Wei Ran also did not let Jia Zhen embark on his journey with the treasures alone, he had ordered guards to protect Jia Zhen. Through the use of telepathy formation, they promptly arrived at a seaside that was near Qing Xuan.
When Jia Zhen reached the destination, he was much more composed. He went to find his uncle to firstly inform him about this matter.
His uncle made him rest for the night and advised him to visit Zhenren Shen when he would be more refreshed the next day. That night, Jia Zhen was rather excited. He tossed and turned throughout the night reflecting on how he once thought that he would not have the opportunity to meet the widely-acclaimed legend, Zhenren Shen. Who knew that he was blessed with such an opportunity. This time, not only did he manage to break through the stage of 'trance', but he even had the chance to be met Zhenren Shen very soon.
Bright and early the next morning, he headed for Taiyi Peak accompanied by his uncle. As he proceeded further into the misty depths, he saw two young Daoist battling one another, each equipped with white and black chess pieces respectively.
His uncle was extremely mannered and respectful, then asked him to kneel and he said, ”Founding master, headmaster, this is my nephew - Jia Zhen.”
One of the younger Daoist had a dot of red cinnabar between his eyebrows. It glimmered as the moon did, and he was undeniably, Shen Lian. He looked at Jia Zhen, nodded slightly and smiled as he said, ”This is one good young lad, belonging to the lineage of Shenxiao True Technique. It seems like a worthy descendant really exists.”芝马 - A mythical herb of Lingzhi, shape like a horse. It is said to have spirituality, and that it can 'ran away' and 'escape' if not properly kept. To prevent it from 'escaping', herb collectors tie them using a red string with a drop of fresh blood.
