Chapter 196: Qing Xuan Stands Millions of Years

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The ‘Life-regenerating Elixir’ was first made by an immortal Zhenren of Qing Xuan who specializes in the Dao of Elixir. It took him a lot of time and spiritual ingredients to prepare just one full oven of it. The elixir was in defiance of nature as it could rejuvenate broken limbs to rebuild a body.

After so many years, there were only three of it left.

Shen Lian generously wanted to give two of it to two of his disciples, and that shook Hong Qianya to the core.

He tried to stop Shen Lian as the elixir was considered precious. What if an emergency happened in the future and they ran out of it?

Shen Lian looked at him and knew what was on Hong Qianya’s mind. He said, “You can record the use of this under my name, and I will find ways to make up for it in the future. You don’t have to feel that it’s a waste to use such a precious elixir. After all, an elixir is merely an object until it is put to good use. Furthermore, it can be attained again the next time. We shouldn’t feel reluctant to use it to help the two of them who are greatly in need of it.”

Doubtfully, Hong Qianya replied, “I am concerned that after this, some people might use this as an excuse to hold forth.”

Shen Lian laughed sarcastically, “We are all people of cultivation. In the entire Qing Xuan, who is idiotic enough to play dirty tricks? Conspiracies and trickeries are villainous. If Guangqing Sect produces one Lu Jiuyuan, would they set us Qing Xuan up?”

Hong Qianya had a sudden realization that Shen Lian and Zhang Ruoxu were poles apart.

Zhang Ruoxu was highly tolerant, forward-looking and benevolent. That was why he was able to pull through when Qing Xuan was in trouble. Conversely, Shen Lian was compassionate but he was never troubled by his compassion. He was capable of viewing the situation of Qing Xuan with an objective perspective and he was charismatic as he will not be overly cautious when taking actions but at the same time we would have also thought of all possibilities.

Shen Lian was strong willed and he was not one who was easily influenced by others. He ordered Hong Qianya to use the Life-regenerating Elixir to treat the two disciples and then used the divine thoughts to summon Jing Qing Tongzi to come to enter the hall.

Jing Qing Tongzi had been slacking after Zhang Ruoxu’s departure. However, he was the chief’s Daoist child and there was no reason for him to disobey Shen Lian. He entered the hall and looked at the glorious Shen Lian. He had yet to adapt to Shen Lian’s delicate and charming face.

The previous chiefs of Qing Xuan were decisive and composed, it was the first in their history to have such a youthful chief like Shen Lian.

Respectfully, he asked, “How can I help you, Chief?”

Shen Lian took a glance at him. He thought to himself, “Jing Qing was initially a snake and was of demon race. Now that he was displaying human behavior, perhaps it’s an opportunity to breakthrough. There were several classifications of the demon king. A true Great Demon was not lesser than celestialism. It was just that there were no recorded references to demon races that undergo the breakthrough.

However, the only constant changes.

Breakthrough can only come when there was change.

These thoughts flashed through Shen Lian’s mind. He had such idea because if Jing Qing Tongzhi accomplished to be a Great Demon, he could be comparable to an immortal Zhenren and could be a strong supportive force to Qing Xuan. Furthermore, Great Demons had been around for way longer compared to celestials and Buddha.

Shen Lian ordered, “Could you go and get Doyen Ge Yuan to send his disciple Zhao Wuji to come and see me? I have some instructions for him.”

Jing Qing Tongzi went to deliver the order without mentioning a word.

Shen Lian took out the Tiandi Jian and tossed it up in the air. The Tiandi Jian shined a ray of light and landed on the ground. From the ray of light, Shen Lian could see the undulating waves, white-clouded blue sky and a couple of soaring seagulls drawing spots in the sky.

The view kept zooming into a rock; the seawater hit on the rock to produce water mist. But vaguely, Shen Lian could see a person with a sword sitting on the rock.

The sword’s gleam was on and off in various length; it was changing according to the dynamics of the clouds and the sea. He should be a supreme sword celestial figure. The man seemed to notice the peeking and looked up, but all there was all just a piece of blue sky and nothing else.

Shen Lian did not have the mood to feel sentimental over things like that as he kept the Tiandi Jian. This kid was one with his sword and had amazing spiritual sense. He had the potential and the four Dao schools would definitely want to hone his skills.

Qingjiang Sword Sect was indeed lucky to have such a disciple and this kid was most probably Meng Xunzhen’s favorite disciple.

Shen Lian would not have believed that this ‘Sword King of Three Defeats’ would so easily send one of his most talented disciples here without fearing that this kid might not know the rules. Looks like Meng Xunzhen should be around the area.

This was Qing Xuan’s territory. It seemed that the other party had brought two or three unskilled men, and came and go as they wish.

They could establish themselves and at the same time throw shades at Qing Xuan’s prestige.

Shen Lian smirked as he associates these thoughts. Life and death depend on a sword, his brains now too turned into a sword.

After ten minutes, the clouds and fog outside of the hall started to surge. Jing Qing Tongzi returned with a scrawny looking youth behind him.This person was Zhao Wuji. He entered Qing Xuan at the same time as Shen Lian and he had extremely low sense of presence.

This kid had a strange talent. Ge Yuan taught him the ‘Figureless Holy Script’ where he could shapeshift into anything without people realizing. Once a person mastered this technique, they can move around without a trace to the extent where they could even deceive holy deities.

Zhao Wuji looked cowardly as he did not dare to lift his head up to look at Shen Lian.

Shen Lian could sense that Zhao Wuji was actually very calm on the inside. The cowardly appearance was just a habit,

Shen Lian said, “Wuji, I have something to instruct you.”

With his head down, Zhao Wuji submissively responded, “I have heard from my honored master. Chief, if I can be of service, I am at your disposal.” His voice was so light that ordinary people would have mistaken it as the sound of the breeze.

“I want you to go and deal with one person,” Shen Lian said in a calm voice.

Zhao Wuji raised his head and asked, “Who is it?”

Shen Lian let out a laugh. This kid did not even ask if he was capable of dealing with the person and instead went straight to the point and asked who was he dealing with. It was so rare to have someone so pure-hearted as he first came into Qing Xuan. Looks like Ge Yuan had high hopes on him.

He waved his sleeves and a Dao talisman appeared in his hand. The characters on the talisman seem complicated and were brightly radiant. He tossed it to Zhao Wuji and as Zhao Wuji fetched it, a wave of spiritual sense was sent through him. The Dao talisman contains information on how to use it, the location and the appearance of the person Zhao Wuji was tasked to deal with.

Shen Lian continued, “You have to go right now, hide somewhere near him and use the Dao talisman to trigger that person. Regardless of success or failure, you leave the place immediately. I will deal with what comes after.”

Zhao Wuji nodded and left. He did not ride on the cloud as he blends in with the cloud easily with minimal movements. It was hard to see the fluctuation of the clouds and nobody could tell where was he headed to.

The Figureless Holy Script left no trace, and it sure lived up to its reputation.

Shen Lian sent Zhao Wuji off with his eyes and let out a laugh, “Today, I’ll show them what this million-year-old school is all about.”

Even if Qing Xuan had fallen, they would still have many unexpected mysterious means.

The force of this Dao talisman was astonishing. If it was being used appropriately, even people who were in Powang could be hurt. Shen Liam may seem like he was putting a fine timbre to petty use by using such a powerful tool against a prodigy disciple of Qingjiang. But what he wanted to show these people was the reason why Qing Xuan was still standing strong after millions of years.

Just like back then when the Tai Su Sect used the Fairy Binding Rope to trap Shen Lian. That was the superiority of the school. Ordinary sects might not be able to defend themselves even if they have their own magic talisman. After all, no one could guarantee that they will be watched over by holy deities forever.
