Daoist Master of Qing Xuan

Chapter 691: Daoist Master Qingshui

When Shen Lian laid out his fingertips to touch that Qi of Dao, lotus flowers started to blossom instantaneously. They were mesmerizingly beautiful.

He said, "These Qi of Dao contain the imprints of Yuxu Palace. He must have learned the Yuqing Celestial Method before."

Song Qingyi was astonished. He mentioned, "I believe this is not a matter of concern. After all, Qing Xuan is also an orthodoxy of Daoist Master Taiyi."

Shen Lian said, "No, it is different. Qing Xuan can only be considered as Daoist Master Taiyi's supplementary branch of orthodoxy while Yuxu Palace is the primary descendant of Daoist Master Yuqing. It is currently an existence that is secondary to Daoists figures."

Song Qingyi asked worriedly, "This is troublesome. Are they working against you?"

Shen Lian said, "This is not important for I will resolve it."

Si Jing suppressed her urge to speak. Ultimately, she was biased towards Shen Lian. Moreover, though Thor was her ancestor, they did not have a close relationship.

Song Qingyi said, "No matter what happens, I will support you."

Shen Lian smiled and said, "I do have a request."

Undoubtedly, Song Qingyi would not decline. He did not worry that Shen Lian would give him insurmountable requests for he knew that Shen Lian would not cause him too much trouble just as he would not trouble him as well.

If there was no trust between the both of them, their relationship would not mean anything.

Having lived in this world, it was not necessary to say certain things. Some people need not be suspected as well.

...

There was a desert outside the Zhou nation where no water could be found. A beautiful lady clad in green appeared amidst the desert. Thunders roared in front of her and Thor who had a pair of Wind Lightning Wings appeared.

Thor remained in the void. The Wing Lightning Wings flapped to arouse sandstorms. However, the sand vanished when they reached the lady clad in green. There was a scorching heat of celestial force in front of that lady. Although it was not fire, that force was even more terrifying than fire. She was the Hanba, the Goddess of Drought. She was a deity and also a heavenly lady. Thus, she was unfathomable.

Thor said, "You are more afraid of him than I do."

Hanba said, "That is because he has the ability to destroy me."

"According to what you have said, it is likely that he had obtained the inheritance of Daoist Master Shangqing?" Thor asked with a deep voice.

Hanba said, "I am not certain about this. However, since Yuxu Palace suspects him, why not defeat him immediately?"

Thor said, "After all, he has learned Daoist Master Shangqing's Taixu strategy. The two little masters will not dare to take actions carelessly if this matter was not confirmed for they have to respect both Daoist Masters Qingshui and Taiyi."

Hanba asked, "Who is Daoist Master Qingshui?"

Thor replied, "It was rumored that she is the daughter of Daoist Master Taiyi but no one could verify this claim. However, she is a rare and talented cultivator. Though the two little masters have much more cultivation experiences than she does, they might not be able to suppress her."

He took a deep breath and continued, "No matter what happens, we have to lure him to expose his secret. That two little masters have been watching over us. If we do not accomplish this task successfully, our lives may come to an end."

Hanba groaned for awhile and said, "I can continue this but you have to tell me Si Wenming's whereabouts. He left too hurriedly and abandoned me in the Netherworld. I want to know what happened."

Thor said, "The King is cultivating in the depths of the universe. I am not very aware of the details."

As Hanba was about to speak, she saw the petrified mein of Thor. Subsequently, she realized that her body was burning in flames. The flame was greenish-white and did not inflict any pain. Nonetheless, her divine powers were waning continuously. Suddenly, she realized that she might not be able to see Si Wenming forever.

From Thor's perspective, there was a lotus seat underneath Hanba's feet. The flames appeared from that lotus seat. When it appeared, he and Hanba had no reactions.

What was more terrifying was that without being notified by the Thor, Hanba would not realize that her body was burning in flames. This mysterious supernatural power was truly petrifying.

The lotus seat remained still as the flames refined Hanba orderly. However, she had no energy to resist the flames.

Thor flapped his wings continuously. Raging wind and thunder charged towards the lotus seat with a mighty force. A layer of thin light resisted his force of wind and thunder. Subsequently, the light absorbed all of his force.

Even when Thor utilized greater mana, nothing could be helped. The powers of this lotus lantern had exceeded his expectations.

Hanba seemed rather wretched. All of her hair had disappeared. She said, "Find Si Wenming and let him avenge for me. He owes me."

Thor nodded helplessly and witnessed Hanba transforming into ashes.

After Hanba's death, heavy clouds appeared in the skies of Zhou nation. Promptly, rain started pouring on the drylands. As the lands were watered by the rain, the whole nation seemed to have reborn.

Shen Lian and Song Qingyi only appeared after Thor took his leave. Song Qingyi picked up the lotus lantern and said astonishingly, "The unification of noble Qi with this numinous treasure of the path of Shen actually could produce such marvelous force."

Shen Lian replied carelessly, "This was a merger of humanity with the path of Shen. Even the force of heaven has to avoid it. Hence, it is not surprising for it to possess such a great force."

Song Qingyi asked, "How did you know about this?"

Shen Lian replied, "That is because I know a lot of things."

Song Qingyi said, "It seems like you need a good round of beatings."

Shen Lian replied Song Qingyi formally, "You are unable to defeat me."

When he finished speaking, Song Qingyi laughed and said, "You look better than ever. In fact, you should joke around more often. I always feel that you are troubled by too many burdensome issues. Yet, you are reluctant to share your concerns."

Shen Lian said, "I thought you would not ask even if you knew about it."

Song Qingyi replied to him earnestly, "As a friend, I should not ask. If you want to mention it, you would have told me. Nonetheless, no matter what happens, how you have changed or how much attainment you have reaped, I only hope that you are as happy as you were before."

Shen Lian remained silent. He stared at the golden sand on the floor and said, "I can still recall the day we met each other in the desert. It was thousands of years ago. Things have changed drastically since then, like a dream. Whoever thought that we could still be alive in the world after thousands of years?"

Song Qingyi said, "During those times, you tried so hard to deceive me. I thought you were only an ordinary cultivator. Who knew that you would accomplish such an astounding task? In fact, I am proud and at the same time, envious of your accomplishments."

Shen Lian smiled and said, "I will treat that as a compliment."

Song QIngyi said, "I thought you would say that you merely completed a small task."

Shen Lian waved his hand and said, "Those are truly major tasks. Moreover, you have to believe that I, Shen Lian, have many greater tasks to accomplish. You, Song Qingyi shall not perish beforehand or I would have no one to boast to."

Song Qingyi burst into laughter and said, "I shall wait and see."

Shen Lian replied, "Just wait and see."

His eyes were filled with the sight of the sunset. This world was so beautiful. How could he just leave carelessly? No matter what, he would never perish. He wanted to experience all of the beautiful things in the world, forever and ever.

Shen Lian's form disappeared gradually amidst the rays of the setting sun.

On the other side in Biyou Palace, the battle between Shen Lian's original form and the Primeval Demon had also reached its crucial point.
