Chapter 265: Determination

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shen Lian had felt the gaze of a lot of people, some had bad intentions; some were cold, and some were loving.

This gaze, however, was not something he expected.

The gaze was considered the reflection of the spirit and for a detail-oriented expert, one could detect a lot of things. As this gaze fell on him, Shen Lian could not describe how he felt. It was like there was rain falling on him, but he did not experience the wet or coldness that came with it.

The courtyard was refined. The attic was on the side, and underneath it was fake mountain and flowing water. It was a work of art.

Qi of vitality was almost present. The sound of the flowing water could be heard, and everything was ultimately intended to highlight how extraordinary the lady in the attic was. She was like the whole of the courtyard, who germinated and bloomed, and naturally became the most beautiful item here.

Her hair was made into a bun and was adorned with an emerald-green jade hairpin. The long dress was a mixture of white and green. She looked noble but at the same time otherworldly.

Seeing her was just like being in a dream that one would not want to wake up from.

Shen Lian lifted his head, and his eyes were filled with killing intent which appeared all in a sudden to pierce through the dream.

“Where is my niece?” Shen Lian spoke softly.

He looked calm like an unmoving rock, but who knew what sort of power he was gathering in his heart deep down which would soon to be exploded. “Ruoxi is the reincarnation of Yuan Jun. Do you know what that means?” Fairy Tianmeng knocked on the railing, which let out a crisp sound.

Shen Lian spoke nothing, but in reality, he was summoning his true form. He had decided to leave with Ruoxi no matter what.

Fairy Tianmeng did not know it was only Shen Lian’s clone that was present. Shen Lian’s Tongtian Skill could hide even the breath. The thunder technique that he used to break the formation was in fact just thunder talismans. All of these caused Fairy Tianmeng to underestimate Shen Lian.

She still did not want to have beef with Shen Lian, as ultimately she did not get along well with the three elders, and her decision to cultivate the Synchronized Heart Mantra of Taisu was not agreed upon. Without the help of immortal Zhenren, to keep Shen Lian here was a difficult task.

“Last time Taisu Yuan Jun killed Zhu Jiuyin, the Candle Dragon, who occupied the north and left the Dao meaning here, which was then inherited by our Grandmaster. From there, the Taisu techniques were born. The aurora outside the sect was also born out of Zhu Jiuyin’s remains. The Grandmaster made use of it and laid down the formation. Taisu Yuan Jun was the supreme presence among the thousand stars. Even in front of Daoist master or Buddha, he did not need to be punctilious. After she killed Zhu Jiuyin, she hid among the depth of the stars. However, as she did not obtain the successful Daoist result as a Daoist master or Buddha, hence she needed to divide her divine thoughts into multiple universe and experience ten thousand trials to achieve the Daoist result. These clones that were experiencing the trials were hence known as the reincarnation. Ruoxi was one of them. Before her, there was two more reincarnations of Yuan Jun in our sect. After going through the trials, they disappeared. I am not going through the detail of the previous generations. I just want to tell you that regardless of Ruoxi’s cultivation stages, they will all end in vain.”

Fairy Tianmeng told the story of this secret extensively. There were only the two of them in the courtyard.

Shen Lian said, “So are you done?”

Fairy Tianmeng gazed at Shen Lian and they exchanged sights. There seemed to be a ripple in between the space – one could observe the tension between the two.

She continued, “If she cultivates the Synchronized Heart Mantra of Taisu successfully, she will then become one with me and cut off the connection with Taisu Yuan Jun. At the very least, she will not disappear into thin air, and her memories and emotions will remain. If you don’t make things difficult for me, I can help you combat the pressure coming from Guangqing. This is the biggest compromise I am able to make.”

Shen Lian knew there were some secret techniques that could form independent incarnations. Other than Fairy Tianmeng’s the Synchronized Heart Mantra of Taisu, among Xuanmen there was another mysterious technique known as Chop into Three – it could form three independent incarnations. It was a very powerful technique.

If one could get rid of the psychological factors, one could indeed treat these incarnations as an independent human.

He did not doubt the sincerity of Fairy Tianmeng.

But he said, “I will take her with me.”

“You do know that even if you bring her away, there is no stopping once one begins with the Synchronized Heart Mantra of Taisu,” Tianmeng sighed. She did not understand what Shen Lian was holding on to. In front of Dao, not to mention blood relatives, even if parents were to become an obstacle to enlightenment, one could get rid of them.

Those who claimed that there were no unfaithful or non-filial celestials surely had never seen celestials before. For the years that cultivators got to live, emotions were something that would wear off until nothing was left.

Shen Lian started to laugh. He flicked his finger and a sword ray flew out.

Tianmeng took a turn and allowed the sword ray to pierce through the attic.

The killing vibes could shoot through the sky.

Ziyue and the like who were standing by went pale, they could not help but say, “We perhaps can’t do anything here. We should get the three chamber masters and the Doyens.”

The female Daoist in yellow shook her head, “We just need to lay down the killing formation here. I’ve already asked someone to go.”

There were about a hundred of them, and the ones with the lowest experience had at least reached Ruhua. The female Daoist in yellow and Ziyue were in Huandan. Each of them defended a position and by aligning Qi, they enclosed the courtyard to prevent Shen Lian from escaping.

Fairy Tianmeng, to others in the palace, she was like Goddess. All of them were not afraid that she would lose, but with the killing vibes that were going through the roof, they could not help but feel a bit worried.

They were all anxiously waiting for the Doyens and the three chamber masters to arrive.

They had never seen anyone who dared to come so close to the core of Taisu Sect with such arrogance. They lost their composure.

Even though up to a hundred people laid down the killing formation, the killing vibes were not comparable to Shen Lian’s in the courtyard.

It could be because Taisu Sect was the top in the north. Even though they tried to temper the students, they were mostly proud, and had never really experienced any failures.

Among all the Daoist sects in the world, as long as the sect was slightly more powerful, they would all have the same problem. Besides, the intention to cultivate was mostly for immortality. As long as the sect was not in such a bad situation, there were not many who spent too much time in killing techniques.

Furthermore, even if one was successful in a swift and fierce technique, if the opponent was at a higher level with more mana, the technique would not be that useful.

Ultimately as they were all of the same sect and the same origin, by combining the Qi of a hundred people, they began to consolidate even though they were initially affected by the killing vibes in the courtyard.

There came a few more female Daoists with deeper mana from far and they were all the core of Taisu Sect and had at least the level of Huandan. The number kept increasing.

They surrounded the place. The techniques and the divine lights in the courtyard lit up the Daoist palace with different colors. Shen Lian’s sword aura was ever changing with the divine intention which was kept at one single thought. There were several elderly masters watching from afar. They all could not help but began to spectate. They thought to themselves about how good a swordsman he was.

They were all pretty relaxed as the Hall Master had the Xuan level of mana and with the others setting up the formation, they did not think Shen Lian had a chance to escape.

Half a day had gone by within the blink of an eye. The night came, but the battle between Shen Lian and Fairy Tianmeng was flashing with divine lights. All the Taisu methods were at her disposables and they all felt fortunate for the opportunity. They were able to overcome their previous difficulties in some of the techniques.

They all could tell Fairy Tianmeng was better and had the dominance in the battle. The sword ray of Shen Lian began to weaken.

In reality, Yang Miaoyun had returned to the palace and was walking on the dark path. There was nobody beside her, but she was signaling in the void with this line, “I will bring you to where the Hall Master stays. Regardless of whether you find your niece, please leave soon
