Chapter 364: Burning God

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shen Lian and Ziling have entered deeper into the Heaven Courtyard. Unsurprisingly, Shen Lian sensed the presence of the unwelcome guests.

When Yuming the Honored Celestial steered his newly mastered Lingxiao Hall to this place, Shen Lian was able to envision it. He knew that the grandmaster saw it too.

As they both practiced the Taixu Strategy as their fundamentals, the exchange of breath and unity of divine thoughts increased their senses greatly.

He let go of the narrow view of Guangqing and focused on what was ahead of him.

Even if it was one of the many Heaven Courtyards, or if it was a terrible damaged Heaven Courtyard, its vastness was beyond Shen Lian’s imagination.

But it was not the vastness of this dead land that bothered Shen Lian and the grandmaster. It was the person right in front of them that was somewhat disturbing.

He was not really a person but more of a majestic mountain that was semi-kneeling with both palms supporting the ground. Those giant palms could smash a mountain.

He showed no signs of vitality. His eyes were opened but had no pupils. Judging from his expression, he was probably not in pain when he died, as if he did not manage to react to his sudden death.

Ziling said, “The divine form of the Gigantes God! This person was probably the legendary practitioner of the Art of Gigantes, the God of the Gigantes. I didn’t expect his remains to be here.”

Shen Lian had encountered a practitioner of the Art of Gigantes. That person was killed by Jiang Hanyan of the Chunyang Daoist Palace. His remains were only as big as the Giant’s finger and yet he was already considered as an extremely skilled cultivator.

Considering the giant had mastered the divine form of the Gigantes, he was a deity that was comparable to the likes of celestials and Buddha. Shen Lian wondered what sort of attack could kill a figure like that all of a sudden.

He asked, “If Founding Master Qingshui had entered this place, didn’t she see this God of the Gigantes?”

Ziling answered, “Founding Master Qingshui entered the Heaven Courtyard from a different entrance. She was a special case and it’s impossible for us to take the same route as her. However, some of her remaining Dao rhythms should still linger around the Jingque Jade Booklet. If we’re near the Jinque Jade Booklet, we would be able to feel the Dao rhythm and determine the location of the book.”

Shen Lian finally figured out the reason Ye Liuyun asked him to look for the Jinque Jade Booklet. It was not necessarily because Ye Liuyun couldn’t enter the place but it was because of the relations between Taixu Strategy and the Jinque Jade Booklet. The possibility of Shen Lian finding the Jinque Jade Booklet was higher than him.

The remaining Dao rhythm of Founding Master Qingshui after she created the Taixu Strategy would definitely be extremely profound. Even if thousands of years have passed, it would not have vanished and Shen Lian would be able to sense it as it has the same traits as the Taixu Strategy.

It was still a mystery how Ye Liuyun found out about this matter. If it was not for Ziling, Shen Lian would not know about it.

Shen Lian could not think too much under such circumstances.

The God of the Gigantes must have been dead for a long time. His body looked dull and wrinkled, and his strong face had traces of wind erosion. He was once an all-powerful person who could command the wind and clouds but now, he was just a lifeless object.

But after all, the God of Gigantes was not an ordinary being. He may look like he did not have a special godly body but in fact, his body contained a horrifying hint of energy that should never be underestimated even after so many years of wear and tear.

Shen Lian said, “Grandmaster, I heard that the divine form of the Gigantes has the powerful strength to pull mountains. Even if they were not equipped with spells or methods, they could easily cause celestials and Buddha to flinch.”

Ziling answered, “Even if he’s still alive, he would undoubtedly lose to the both of us.”

“That’s certainly true. Furthermore, he’s dead now and there’s no way he could stop us.” Shen Lian responded.

“But after all, he’s still useful.”

Zling and Shen Lian looked at each other and smiled. They knew exactly what was on each other’s mind.

A loud explosive noise could be heard as the palace hanging in the void came closer and closer.

Shen Lian and Ziling each wielded a ray of divine aura towards the giant at the same time and the both of them disappeared. It happened so fast that they flew up to the sky within a flash.

In fact, their breaths were still lingering on the ground and have yet to disperse.

The palace noticed Shen Lian and Ziling and dived downwards. It did not pay too much attention to the dead giant.

The giant was attacked by the divine aura and was triggered like a lurking beast. Endless dashes of light radiated from his body to set off a horrifying force of energy. It was the cumulative energy from the past and although it had decreased over time, it was still very frightening. And now he finally came out from his final and most magnificent journey.

An illusive portrait of the giant rose up from the ground. He threw a punch that was condensed with divine aura and a force so terrifying that he could tear down the sky.

The punch landed on the palace as a hole with the patterns of a swirling pit appeared on the ground. The area around it was surrounded by strips of cracks that stretched several miles deep and ten feet wide.

Although the palace took the punch, it was still swaying vigorously in mid-air.

Yuming the Honored Celestial was furious as his hands trembled slightly. On the outside, he looked like he was impressed by the essence of the final blow of the God of the Gigantes but on the inside, he was very heartbroken that the spirituality of his Lingxiao Hall was decreased greatly as a result of the punch.

He looked to an empty distance far far away with vengeance in his eyes. ”

Lingguang the beautiful nun said, “I didn’t expect Little Shen and Ziling to come. That’s not a bad thing. At least we can make sure that they will never return ever.”

Daoqing caressed his beard and said, “Junior Apprentice Sister, let’s not get involved in unnecessary battles. We should focus on searching for the Jinque Jade Booklet as that is the most important agenda of our trip.”

Yuming the Honored Celestial said, “The Jinque Jade Booklet and the Lingxiao Hall would be able to sense each other but now that the spirituality of the Lingxiao Hall is damaged, the senses are starting to fade out. Oh well, let’s just use the Burning God to fuel the spirituality of Lingxiao Hall.”

In a tender voice, Lingguang called out, “Senior Apprentice Brother!”

The Burning God referred to the refining of a weak spirituality via occult techniques. Applying it on a magic talisman will induce irreparable damage but it could greatly increase the spirituality of the magic talisman within a short period of time.

Yuming the Honored Celestial was forced to resort to this decision. The damage of Lingxiao Hall could somehow be fixed in the future but if Shen Lian obtained the Jinque Jade Booklet, his would never be able to fulfill his dreams in this lifetime.

Shen Lian and Ziling used the remaining power of the God of Gigantes to delay the progress of Guangqing’s people. They then continued to explore deeper and walk pass ruined palaces, one after another. They also saw countless dead gods in gold armor.

However, they failed to pick up any vibes at these places.

Meanwhile, Shen Lian felt that the deeper he went, the weaker he felt. Even though he was exchanging breaths with the grandmaster, it did not stop his strength from depleting.

If he did not hold on to Ziling’s hand, his mana would have depleted even more.

He had a sudden realization that there was some kind of curse in this place that was undiscoverable by him.
