Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Song Qingyi only managed a bitter smile. Leaving the boat, he would no longer be able to intervene in what happens next. One was a close friend, and another was his mentor. He was closer to his honored master, but if the situation intensified, he would not be able to fight Shen Lian. Rather than being upset when the moment comes, it would be better to leave now.
Shen Lian cared fully about the departure of Song Qingyi, and the flying boat has approached the remains of the ancient tower at a constant speed. However, if it is separated by mountains and rivers, it cannot be reached.
Lu Jiuyuan and his confrontation had truly begun.
It was not the first time Shen Lian had seen this supernatural power. Up until now, he has had more experience than ever before. It was all because Lu Jiuyuan was neither stronger than Heng’e nor Luomo.
It was not difficult for Shen Lian to break the Space Manipulation Technique. He drew a long howl and spat out an endless resplendent Milky Way. The unlimited Sword Will that was plain and innocent flowed at a great speed.
This sampan of his was carried by the will of the sword, which caused the end of the world, closer.
The endless will of the sword was sharp, breaking through space, causing the entire void in producing a rush of sunset mist. What was reflected in the Milky Way of sword will, was an unparalleled beauty.
Only that if there were cultivators in the world who would carelessly break into it, they would definitely be crushed, and there would be no reason to survive.
The Milky Way, like a stretch of shining silk, eventually landed outside the remains of the ancient pagoda. Zhao Xiaoyu in white clothes and long hair quietly stood at the end of the Milky Way. It seemed to have been like that for thousands of years.
The sampan came to a sudden halt, and Shen Lian, like sunset mist, smiled. Thereafter, the vision disappeared, and Shen Lian steadily landed.
Zhao Xiaoyu said softly, “I am happy that you came, and I like the sunset mist-filled sky very much.”
Shen Lian grabbed her hand and whispered, “I’m here today to avenge you.”
Zhao Xiaoyu laughed while covering her mouth, “Do not speak so surely, Old man Lu is very strong.”
Lu Jiuyuan laughed, “there are changes in human affairs; as time has come and gone, the past and present have been connected. I am now incapable of surpassing Zhenren Shen’s sharp will.”
Zhao Xiaoyu said, “Old man Lu, seeing that he wants to vent on my behalf, I would be more than glad. Our grievances shall hereby be voided, You do not owe me as I do not owe you.”
Lu Jiuyuan then continued, “Thank you then, Xiaoyu.” He stepped out of the bamboo residence, dressed casually. He looked like he was less than forty years old, with a beard about five inches long. If he was placed in the eyes of the secular world, they will think he was a teacher. Never would it cross their minds that he was the first in the world.
The entire bamboo residence and the wreckage of the ancient tower were stripped from heaven and earth, surrounded by endless empty space, the Xuantian Sect was no longer in sight, only the stars in the distant universe remained, as well as the darkness of the edge.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Jiuyuan used his great supernatural powers to divert heaven and earth and sent them all into outer space, but this casual statement goes to show that Lu Jiuyuan dominated the throne as the first in the world for thousands of years, was definitely not an undeserved reputation.
This was the second time Shen Lian had been in outer space. Countless peculiar and powerful cosmic rays surrounded him. The rays approached his body and was swallowed by the seeds of the heaven and earth in his gabella.
It seems that the seeds of heaven and earth were unsatisfied with this kind of food. It was as if they were used to the finely selected grains and had no interest in the lowly sediment.
But Shen Lian did not care about the seeds and what they thought.
A thousand years later, he, Shen Lian, has finally met Lu Jiuyuan, the person who was the first in the world.
Qing Xiao Grandmaster once said that he wanted to challenge Lu Jiuyuan, but in the end he failed to complete what he wanted to do. Now it is time for his grand-disciple to pick up where he left off.
Furthermore, the battlefield carried a wonderful experience for Shen Lian, it was in outer space where grandmaster attained Dao.
Shen Lian whispered: “I admired Zhenren Xiangshan for many years. At this time, I have finally been able to meet you, Shen Lian was glad.”
Both of Lu Jiuyuan’s hands were hidden in the wide sleeves of his robe, his gaze fell on Shen Lian. Like a beam of warm sunlight, he smiled and said, “I have been noticing you for a long time. To be honest, for the heaven and earth to produce a prodigy like you, it was afraid that it would have to consume most of the fate of heaven and earth. However, as you grew up, the consumption of he fate of heaven and earth not a lot. It seemed that most of the fate came from you. That was why I would only allow you to continue growing. In addition, Qingyi he takes you as a real friend, I would not want to do anything to you, lest it makes him sad.”
Shen Lian said, “Zhenren Xiangshan treats his disciples very well indeed, Xuantian Sect has indeed flourished in your hands.”
Lu Jiuyuan sneered at that moment, and said, “If Lu Jiuyuan was really good, he should have left long ago. That way, Xuantian Sect could only grow. It may seem enormous now, but it was only an illusion/mirage tied together with my general appearance. It was a pity that I have gone on this path from the beginning, there was no space for turning back. Meeting you, I know how terribly wrong I was.”
With a faint smile, Shen Lian said, “that was only because zhenren had no other options at that time. Since you did not know there are other ways to go about it.”
Lu Jiuyua said, “Indeed. Enough with the chatter, you want to bring so many immortal Zhenren to leave, you would have to go through me first. Today, I will not bully you with the state of heaven and earth as one. Let us decide this with our true strength, show me how powerful is that Path of Authenticity of yours.
Shen Lan narrowed his eyes, and whispered: “then I might offend you, Zhenren Xiangshan.”
Zhao Xiaoyu gently relaxed her grip on Shen Lian’s hands, she knew very clearly that there was no hatred between the two men, but their respective purposes were different, and the interests of one person were ultimately to be damaged.
Therefore, a fight for mastery would be their only option, so that the other party would be convinced to give up his previous idea.
However, was Zhenren Xiangshan scrupled about Shen Lian, the rising star; thereby giving Shen Lian a chance to fight in fairness. If Shen Lian loses in that way, he would have no choice but to accept it.
If Zhenren Xiangshan loses, he would have to give Shen Lian an opportunity, but only once.
Lu Jiuyuan was, after all, relying on the state of heaven and earth as one. Even if Shen Lian is powerful, he must be driven out, just as they would appear in outer space.
However, if Shen Lian was directly driven away, a dead-knot would be tied. It would not be a good choice for two people who have no great hatred.
After all, Shen Lian possessed limitless possibilities, he could always return to kill.
Therefore, in this situation, Shen Lian did not speak. With his temperament, as long as this turned out to be a defeat, he would never seek trouble with Lu Jiuyuan and the Xuan Tian Sect. After all, Lu Jiuyuan sent the painting back and even gave Shen Lian a fair opportunity to fight, throwing away the convenience of a home ground.
Zhao Xiaoyu’s mana could not be compared to those years when it was at its prime. But it was just that in these years, she has awakened, to discuss the metaphysical and Dao, and the knowledge in practicing Daoism with Lu Jiuyuan, she has already entered the pinnacle of the heavenly immortals, the only difference was time.
Therefore, she could be said to be the world’s most qualified person to watch the confrontation between the two people.
There was nothing that could be said about Shen Lian. In the eyes of Zhao Xiaoyu, he was still as unfathomable as he was in the past. As for Lu Jiuyuan who does not rely on the origins of heaven and earth, although he no longer gave Zhao Xiaoyu the feeling of vastness, he had undergone some wonderful changes. Just like the tigers who have been kept in cages for a long time, once they were released, they would roar with pride.
