Chapter 180: You Could Never Find Him as He Could Be at Any Corner of the World

After Qingxiao’s sword aura escaped, there appeared a Daoist in yellow robe from the void. There was a sign of Bagua in his chest. He looked at the direction of Qingxiao from afar and smiled.

Even with Qingxiao claimed to kill all of GuangQing, he could not care less. It could only happen if she reached the level of Lu Jiuyuan.

Qingxiao was indeed powerful. While he managed to use stealth this time, after a continuous cultivation of fifty years, Qingxiao could easily recover from this as it did not affect her fundamentals.

It was rather impressive to see what could be achieved by someone who had reached immortality twice.

For most Celestialists, they tended to struggle within the cycle of reincarnation after rebirth – they could hardly escape. To attain Dao, the easiest period was during the first reincarnation, as the divine aura still remained. Most still could recall their past lives. During the period of Powang, the experience from past lives could become an obstacle. Most were stuck in this stage and could not break out. Once they entered reincarnation again, they would need many more years to attain Dao. Till then, one would have lost oneself.

It was not difficult for everyone to achieve Dao immortality – for those who were reincarnated and found it difficult to attain Dao were the Dixian, Guixian, Shenxian and Renxian.

If Celestialists had transcended beyond the mortal world, they could definitely attain the Dao of deists. For these people to go through reincarnation for cultivation, it would be a smooth sail. Powang would not be a difficult state to achieve.

Most deists did not reincarnate because they broke Dao, but because of unresolved karma. They had to be born human again. While they rarely recalled their past lives, they were reborn as a new individual.

However, if karma was not resolved, one could not transcend beyond the mortal world.

It would be easy to beat Dixian, but it would be difficult to kill them. As they lived long enough, they would have many means to save their lives.

It was not a bad ending to hurt Qingxiao a little as it could help them get rid of a problem in the short term. To be able to use stealth tactics on deists, one would need a lot of opportunities. To be successful at that attempt, Daoist Dengfeng had gone through an elaborate scheme. Even then, Qingxiao could strike back and escape.

Daoist Dengfeng swung his arm. The thousand-foot mountain disappeared into a ray, which then sneaked into his sleeve. Only an enormous hole remained.

He did not bother with it. A cloud formed underneath his feet. He then flew towards Mount Taicang.

In the depth of the desert, there was a one-legged eel. It slowly opened its eyes. Its eyes were blood-shot – it was a Mirage Demon. However, there was a minor difference from the other Mirage Demons. The divine aura in the desert slowly gathered towards it. It swallowed every Mirage Demon that passed by it in order to absorb power.

Lastly, the Mirage Demon wriggled and ultimately, it turned into a human – it was Yanxu.

He did not look satisfied with his new body, but he still stealthily left the desert.

Dawn was breaking. The sunlight was hanging at the edge of his lips, forming a special arc, looking as if he was smiling. His Qi had declined, but he was clear-eyed. A child form of the Mirage Demon was circling his fingers. Yanxu stuck his tongue out and pretended to eat the child form. It quickly shied away.

Yanxu laughed in a low voice and spoke to himself, “I guess for now I don’t need to worry about being killed by Aunt-Master. It is time for Guangqing to recruit disciples. I should attend and get myself a master.”

He stroked the little Mirage Demon and said, “Taiyue Real Shape Incantation is indeed powerful, but I just don’t like it. What do you think I should learn from the Guangqing sect?”

The little Mirage Demon, of course, did not know how to answer. It just looked at the clear-eyed Yanxu and the eyes showed its reflection. It was probably the first time since birth that it knew how it looked like. It could be possible that it did not know the reflection was itself.

Yanxu chose a direction and strolled towards it. He was still naked then, but he did not seem to be embarrassed. He took the heaven and earth as his clothes.

When Shen Lian stepped foot in Qing Xuan again, he felt oddly at ease.

It was just a shame that Qing Xuan was rather quiet these days. The silence made him sad.

Shen Lian had never seen snow in Mount Qing Xuan, but it was all covered in snow. The main peak, Taiyi, had turned white entirely.

Jingqing Tongzi and Gu Caiwei were standing outside the pavilion.

His Senior Apprentice-Sister, Gu Caiwei, looked as soft-spoken as before, but there were some forms of despair in between her brows. Shen Lian felt that it was a bad omen, but he went forward and asked, “Senior Apprentice-Sister, what happened?”

Gu Caiwei looked at Shen Lian, who was energetic and mature, she started to tear up. In the depth of it, it seemed that she was hiding something.

She could remember someone with the exact same eyes and spirit as him.

The first time when she met Master Biyun, it was the same feeling. The memories, however, were not as lively as Shen Lian now.

The headmaster was right. Shen Lian achieved Huandan at an unattainable speed.

Gu Caiwei spoke softly, “Please go in, and the headmaster has been waiting for you.”

Jingqing Tongzi was biting on a withered stalk. He stared at Shen Lian, and then he shifted his attention to the snow from afar. Zhang Ruoxu formed the snow using “Ice Light” passed down by previous masters. The intention was to freeze himself, to wait for Shen Lian’s return.

As a result of the Ice Light, the whole of Qing Xuan was covered in snow. Jingqing did not like this weather particularly as snakes are cold-blooded. When the weather was extremely cold, he would not want to move even an inch. It was time for hibernate.

Zhang Ruoxu could understand that and hence he asked Gu Caiwei to take charge while waiting for Shen Lian’s return.

For some unknown reasons, Jingqing did not intend to hibernate. He waited with Gu Caiwei. He did not really want Shen Lian to come back because in that case, Zhang Ruoxu would have defrosted himself and left.

He was used to death, but he could not bear the thought of Zhang Ruoxu leaving.

Even if snakes were cold-blooded, he had grown fond of human after spending time with them. Zhang Ruoxu never treated him like an animal but a friend. It was an indescribable feeling.

Shen Lian did not know what Jingqing was thinking, but from this moment, he was aware of something.

It was something he did not really want to face – Zhang Ruoxu who had been treating him extremely well, was about to undergo levitation.
