Daoist Master of Qing Xuan

 

At the same time, he realized that while he was caught up in the peaceful state of mind earlier, time had swiftly gone by without him being aware of it.

Was it a hundred years or just a split second? One could not really tell the difference.

Thankfully the peaceful state of mind kept him in the low, he was able to somewhat escaped from danger and went deep into Xi Huang.

As for why he was awakened by the singing water deer demon, perhaps it was because he had reached the maximum level of stillness and the water deer demon coincidentally passed by.

This realm was not a mystery nor it was fathomable. But there was a strong sense of loyalty in it. Shen Lian had that realization after going deep into Xi Huang.

In life, there were circumstances where one wanted something one could not get, or got something one did not want. If he could put his experience at this strange realm into Huandan’s perspective, Shen Lian couldn’t have asked for something better. But unfortunately he did not feel that the peacefulness he had earlier could bring him any benefits.

Shen Lian’s mind was rapidly spinning but he remained composed and said, “Thank you.”

“Now that you’ve your answer, please leave,” the girl in green skirt replied coldly.

The green faced man sitting below the steps said, “Fellow Dao friend, we could learn a thing or two from each other if we sit down and talk about Dao.”

After speaking to Shen Lian, the green faced man turned to the girl in skirt and say, “Dear King, I don’t usually eat human flesh, so how about we have a vegetarian meal for today?” The purpose of him saying that was to accommodate Shen Lian.

It was normal for demons to eat human and humans to eat demons. It would be disgusting if they practice cannibalism.

Shen Lian responded, “That is unnecessary. Our approach to Dao are poles apart. Even if we talk about Dao, we might end up in conflict.”

The green faced man’s eyes looked like it was flickering in green flames. His piercing gaze was on Shen Lian for the longest time.

He responded, “If you’re not willing then let’s forget about it.”

Shen Lian nodded and left the scene.

After Shen Lian left, a long shadow in front of the green faced man caught on green flames of witch fire that spreads to the area Shen Lian was standing earlier.

The fire reabsorbed into the green faced man’s body once it was released.

The girl in green skirt wasn’t surprised but the demon armies were stunned.

“This guy sure has guts to visit my abode. He is not only brave but also capable. He didn’t touch any of my booby traps but I’m really curious, why is your witch fire not effective on him at all?” The girl in green skirt curiously asked.

The green faced man pondered and answered, “I don’t understand either. This fire is cultivated from the fire seeds from the Nine Underworlds. Although it’s not the true Fire of the Nine Underworlds, but it generally is effective when burning a person’s spirit. But when it comes to that person, he was able to suppress to combustion.”

“Maybe you should go home and ask your master. He would know better,” the girl in green skirt replied.

The green faced man’s face twitched and the girl in green skirt noticed, he responded, “Dear King, that is funny. All along it was my master who would come and look for me. I wouldn’t know about his whereabouts.”

The girl in green skirt smiled, “I didn’t ask you to go and look for him. I’m only telling you ask him the next time you see him. After all, his understanding of Qing Xuan is pretty deep.”

The green faced man was uncertain if the girl in green skirt was testing him. This demon king was the one and only demon in the past thousand years to escape from the Da Ming Wang Temple. Although she displayed human’s Huandan ability, but nobody knows if she had any other supernatural powers or hidden skills.

Some demons were born with supernatural powers due to their bodily characteristics and it had nothing to do with mana. Some forceful supernatural power when activated could match the power of immortals and Daoism.

It seemed that the girl in green skirt did not only have forceful supernatural powers but she was also extremely knowledgeable.

The master of the green faced man was currently on the hit list of a ferocious person. He did not reveal half bit of his tracks and the green faced man did not know about his master’s whereabouts.

He was avoidant about this issue as he changed the topic, “My master knew that you wanted to build a palace. It’s just that ordinary rocks will not be able to withstand wind and rain. If it is mottled, it will reflect badly on you my dear king. You could refine spiritual stones and use that to build the palace but that would take too much effort. And that’s why I bought an instrument for you.”

As he spoke, the green faced man took out a fortress-like instrument with spiritual aura. If Shen Lian had seen it earlier, he would have recognized it as a downsized Su’s fort.

The universe was an enormous place and Shen Lian had only experienced a small fraction of it although he had been on many journeys.

Shen Lian had left the territories of Chui Ping Mountain. Not only the Chui Ping Mountain’s demon king was savagely ferocious, that green faced man too shouldn’t be underestimated.

He wasn’t too sure himself why he could control the green faced man’s means. He could sense that it was a fire technique, somewhat like a Yin fire.

Shen Lian never expected the flames to be suppressed once it touches his body. It was almost like a ball of flame was to be casted into a pot of oil but the pot was filled with water instead and the water, prevented it from combusting.

It was odd because he did not summon the Taixu divine Qi and once the flame touched his flesh, it was extinguished.

At the same time, he felt a sense of chilling force coming out from his flesh and that helped him suppress the fire ball.

This force was not strange to Shen Lian. Many years ago, he frequently soaked himself in the River of Spirits. Naturally, that force that he felt had some characteristics of the River of Spirits.

Shen Lian wondered if it could be the water from the River of Spirits that kept the green faced man’s fire method under control.

The purpose of his visit was to ask for directions and to see maybe if he could tame the demon king of the mountain and to convince them to stop eating humans. Although he did not reveal any flaws, his indirect Qi confrontation with the girl in green skirt and the pressure from the green faced man had changed his mind, as there would be zero chance of defeating them.

Shen Lian has predicted that the demon king of Chui Ping Mountain had yet to reach the level of land immortals. Reason being, the demon king would have sensed his presence when he was outside of the abode if she had reached the immortal level.

That was the reasoning behind his deduction that the girl in green skirt would never be able to kill him completely.

However, he didn’t expect the girl in green skirt to so easily tell him the location of the Temple of Killings and she did it without hesitation.

The girl in green skirt took over the instrument and played with it briefly. She lazily said, “This Ruyi instrument is good stuff. And you even removed the traces of the previous owner. Tell me, what’s your request?”

“My master said he simply just wants to be friends. We don’t have other ulterior motives.” The green face man smiled. Looking at his unpleasant face, it was better for him to not smile.

The girl in green skirt replied, “Alright, then I’ll take your words for it.”

The green faced man responded, “It’s just that I have a question. Why did you tell him the directions to the Temple of Killings? I heard that the King of Swords is not friendly towards demons.”

The girl in green skirt was in a good mood after receiving the instrument, she replied, “I don’t really care about those demons, if they’re dead, then they’re dead. Plus, I hate monks more than anything and Chen Jianmei is about to collaborate with Monk Baoguang. Considering that this kid is from the same school as him and he has a good character, I think it’s a good thing for him to give some trouble to the monks.”
