Daoist Master of Qing Xuan Chapter 269

Chapter 269 - The Trapping of Celestial Virtual Shadow

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The dragon-shaped Qi was closing into Shen Lian at unimaginable speed; it was ready to destruct Shen Lian, and the air was nothing more than a piece of paper for it to tear across.

At that moment, all of the Taisu disciples held their breath. In fact, they felt sorry for Shen Lian – what a waste of talent!

Unless the person had a grudge against Shen Lian, no one could bear to see someone as charming as Shen Lian disappear from the world.

As for Shen Lian, time seemed to be passing painstakingly slow. His heart was clear, and he could feel the external space boundaries being shattered layer by layer. It was alternating between fast and slow speed, but the Qi strength that shattered through the air could clearly be felt in his heart.

The nameless deity finally showed its true face in the moment of life and death. This was the first time Shen Lian managed to see his appearance. He had the appearance of a twenty-year-old. Though, unlike Shen Lian’s gentle physical appearance, the deity looked handsome and strong. However, his eyes gave off the vibes of annihilation. The vibes were neutralized by the peacefulness emitted by the jade Ruyi he held in his hand.

Shen Lian noticed that he was holding a string of beads in his other hand. Though, Shen Lian could not see it clearly as the edges of the deity was still blurry.

As though it heard Shen Lian’s summon, the Trapping of Celestial Sword Aura buried deep in his spirit appeared in his heart. The sword gleam painted his heart red, and the killing vibes were so strong that it triumphed over the sea of blood in the Nine Underworlds that he saw in Grandmaster Yuanqing’s memories.

When the dragon-shaped Qi finally reached Shen Lian, the virtual shadow of a sword hung above quietly.

The body of the sword was blood-red, and the red light filled the world immediately.

The red light reached every single spot in the area, and even the old woman was shocked. “Congenital Killing Sword,” she yelped.

Even though it was merely a virtual shadow, but its breath was constantly impacting her mind and spirit. She felt fear welling up from the bottom of her heart. Within the blood light, it was as though countless demons and deities were roaring and shivering. As if since time immemorial, there were plenty of strong people like her who had fallen under its power.

The sword gleam was not powerful enough to destroy the world, but the impact that it had on her heart and soul was more intense than its actual power. This was the first time that she felt so frightened ever since she had attained Dao.

At the same time, all seven of Shen Lian’s orifices points were bleeding, and the color seemed whitish-silver.

The fresh blood that flowed out of him was the essence of his Qi and blood, which was why it was in the color of mercury. This was not strange at all. When an advanced cultivator of Qi had attained Dan Dao, his physical mortal body would start to undergo changes, and his body structure would evolve towards that of a Celestial.

In the words of Daoist scriptures on the cultivation of Qi, this would be “Qi and blood akin to Dan Gong, Baodan and become whole”.

These previous Qi and blood were forced out from Shen Lian acupoints after he his body was made to withstand pressure beyond its limits.

He did not let the Qi and blood go to waste. He set them on fire the moment they appeared, and he instilled them into the virtual shadow of Trapping of Celestial Sword. The attack was then directed at the old woman. Shadows swept past and disappeared from Taisu Chamber.

The virtual shadow from the Trapping of Celestial Sword emitted thousands of blood-red sword gleams and the old woman was buried within it. At the same time, the experts of Taisu Sect were deterred from making a move. After ten over breaths, the disciples of Taisu Sect saw the Elder’s sleeves were turned into shattered butterflies. As it fell from the sky, there were a few visible sword’s marks on the dragon-headed crutch.

She was overcome by anger and could not say a word. She was frightened and angered. At the same time, she knew that it was all part of an act and the move was not a fatal one. She immediately turned into light and chased after him. However, when she exited the mountain gate and tried to extrapolate Shen Lian’s whereabouts, she could not find anything. This was the power of Shen Lian’s Tongtian Skill. It was impossible for even an immortal Zhenren to predict his whereabouts from the designs of nature.

She returned back into the sect and found Fairy Tianmeng consoling the disciples with great composure.

She was slightly annoyed at how calm Fairy Tianmeng was, seeing how she was the one who started the entire thing.

This had always been her nature. After she had attained immortality, she acted to her whims without boundaries. “Tianmeng, since your disciple is cultivating The Synchronized Heart Mantra of Taisu, you definitely are aware of her whereabouts. Tell me about it now,” she demanded crudely.

Tianmeng was polite and she nodded with a smile. “Uncle-Master, please don’t be angry. He used an unknown technique to break my bond with Ruoxi. However, we do know of his origin. The Bier Discourse of Dao was happening in ten over years, it would be a matter of time before we see him again,” she said.

“You are the Sect Master, you get to call the last shot,” the old woman replied with a cold smile. When she was done speaking, she left with a wave of her sleeve without so much as glancing at Fairy Tianmeng.

Even though Fairy Tianmeng had not attained immortality yet, but she was still the Sect Master. Regardless how much the old woman disliked her, she could not well embarrassed her in public. Her Eldest Senior Apprentice-Sister and Second Senior Apprentice-Sister who valued order in the sect would not allow her to usurp the reputation of the Sect Master.

Fairy Tianmeng’s anger had been appeased by now. Even though Shen Lian could disable the sensory of the Synchronized Heart Mantra of Taisu, but the foundation of the Synchronized Heart Mantra of Taisu had been planted within Ruoxi. Even if she did not cultivate it on purpose, the Dao formula would operate on its own. Eventually, Ruoxi would end up being taken over by the divine thoughts that she had planted within her.

This was a done deal, what Shen Lian could do now was no more than delaying the inevitable.

However, since Shen Lian was so determined to go against her, she decided to be on better terms with Guangqing. She decided to pick a direct disciple of hers to marry into Guangqing.

After traveling past several mountains and rivers, Shen Lian finally stopped at a deserted mountain. Right now, there were three Dao talismans being placed on Ruoxi. It was as though she had been overcome by devilry and needed to the protection of the Dao talismans.

Ruoxi had grown taller as compared to last time. She was almost at Shen Lian’s chest now.

She bore a striking resemblance to her mother, Shen Ruoxi. On closer inspection, she looked alike to Shen Lian too.

The bond of blood made an indescribable feeling well up in him, as though suggesting that he was not alone in this world. He felt a bond that could not be put down into words.

Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. He could not help but bend over.

“Bro… Uncle, are you okay?” Ruoxi queried.

Shen Lian did not dare to operate his mana. He knew that his heart meridian had been severely injured. It was not easy to operate the Trapping of Celestial Sword Aura after all. At the same time, he felt the sword gleam fading slightly, and what was expended felt like something that was incapable of being regenerated.

He thought of the Trapping of Celestial, Mastery of Senses, and the handsome and strong deity. Moreover, the sword gleam had the ability to overpower an immortal Zhenren momentarily. Shen Lian could not help but to think of something that he had been avoiding all these while – could the nameless deity be the Tongtian Leader mentioned in the legends of his previous life?

Of course, he knew that the likes of supreme almighties went by many different names; Tongtian Leader might be the name given to him in the legends on Earth. Even in the legends on Earth, this name had only appeared in The Investiture of the Gods.

According to The Investiture of the Gods, this almighty would be a scary character who was capable of reshaping the ground, fire, water, and wind. He could even go as far as changing the world entirely. If he was indeed as described, not even Daoist Master or Buddha could rival him. It might not be a blessing for Shen Lian to cross path with someone as such.

He noticed that both Taishang Daoist Master and Buddha had appeared in his previous life. Moreover, even the Buddhist scriptures in this world bore a certain similarity to that from Earth in his previous life. It would seem that this world was somehow connected to the Earth he came from.

Moreover, this was not the first time he noticed a term from his previous life was being used here. In terms of poetry, in the story Ling Chongxiao told him, the poem engraved somewhere in Qing Xuan had appeared on Earth too. However, he had never come across the place described by Ling Chongxiao in his story in Qing Xuan. He did not find anything when he looked through the records in the sect as well. Though, Ling Chongxiao had no reason to lie.

Shen Lian was convicted that he had not time traveled here out of sheer chance. These thoughts flashed past as Shen Lian soothed his pain. “I’m alright,” Shen Lian spoke to Ruoxi.
