Shen Lian suddenly laughed, he said, “Whether the swordsmanship is profound or not, we will know once we fight. My friend, you’re a woman. I will let you have the first move.” He was calm as usual, even though he was facing the three immortal Zhenrens, it did not make him lose his composure.

This manner indeed had touched Lingguang.

Who was Lingguang? She was someone who had cultivated for eight hundred years and had achieved Daoist immortality for three hundred years. While she was a woman, her success was unequaled in this land. However, she could really tell Shen Lian was confident from his core that he could stop the three of them, whether it was an individual battle or to the three of them.

Whatever the ending was, Daoist Nun Lingguang admired his manner. He deserved to lose under her superb swordsmanship which she had practiced for day and night for three hundred years.

A phoenix would rest on none other than a phoenix tree; it would drink none other than the morning dew. Lingguang shared the pride of a phoenix.

“Then I will have to take the offer,” Lingguang’s smile was like a flower. She walked slowly towards Shen Lian, and suddenly silvery white sword gleam appeared, which adored the sky as if at every wave of hers, there were countless stars falling under her command.

Shen Lian’s eyes were full of praise. Lingguang was indeed an opponent that brought him surprises. Her swordsmanship was like a seed that fell on the soil, took its root, germinated, bloomed and bore fruits. It was all natural.

As such, the lustrous silvery-white sword gleam was all natural, and not forced at all. Daoists statement, ‘From human there came the earth, from earth there came the sky. From the sky there came Dao, and Dao was natural,’ described that.

Shen Lian’s eyes were filled with the sword gleam, and his ears were filled with the buzzing of the sword. His divine thoughts were occupied by endless sword will. Lingguang’s sword was everywhere and it pierced through all openings.

She planted a seed, but it bloomed ten thousand flowers.

Shen Lian smiled and grasped in awe, he recited, “The silver flowers between the jade trees, like the Milky Way was the Weaving Girl’s home.”

He formed a sword mark leisurely as he was being surrounded by countless silvery white sword gleams.

Suddenly there appeared a tree in between the silvery white sword gleams, a tree that was exactly the same as the jade tree on the altar. It was blooming with silvery white flowers, and they were all formed by Lingguang’s sword aura. As the jade tree was growing, they all stuck to the jade tree by an indefensible attraction. They looked like they were born on the jade tree naturally.

Lingguang was terrified.

From far, Daoqing let out a long sigh and Yuming the Honored Celestial said nothing.

The profoundness of Shen Lian’s sword was revealed to be his unparalleled ability to create during a battle. Lingguang’s swordsmanship was already near its peak, and she had never used it on others, but as Shen Lian was facing her, he could find a way to overcome it. Such frighteningly genius creativity could not be sufficiently described using only the profoundness of the swordsmanship.

The woman who was sitting cross-legged underneath the jade tree smiled. She looked at Shen Lian gladly, then she continued to close her eyes and shut down her senses.

Shen Lian did not advance. He merely stopped, which allowed his Qi dynamic to be at a balance with those of Yuming the Honored Celestial, Daoqing, and Lingguang.

The sadness revealed from Lingguang’s eyes disappeared quickly. She then spoke softly to Shen Lian, “In terms of the achievement in Dao, I lost, but as you’re the obstacle of Guangqing, we will not stop here because this is a battle between the orthodoxy, the battle for the great way.”

What she said was shameless, but she had to do it because if she walked away in shame because her swordsmanship was broken, it would be a ridiculous joke.

If she could break away from the whims, she could get rid of the title.

Yuming the Honored Celestial spoke with a deep voice, “My friend Shen, with your talent, you can be anywhere regardless of how vast the world is. Why do you have to always be in Guangqing’s way? If you don’t step away today, even if you can stop us, you will have to pay an unimaginable price. It can even stop you from succeeding in this life. You have to think carefully.”

To this level of cultivation, sect, orthodoxy, and family, one could give them up if they hurt the path of Dao. Yuming the Honored Celestial believed in this view, as he was originally such a person, and he too reached a level where countless cultivators were not able to. Shen Lian despite being a genius, his level and mana were not necessarily stronger than theirs.

Immortal Zhenren did not care too much victory or defeat, as long as they did not die and lose all their cultivation experience, a defeat could hardly qualify as one. With time, they could find a way, and for people like them, they did not lack time.

They too recognized that it would be difficult to kill Shen Lian, and the same went for Shen Lian. Even if he managed to kill one of them, he had to pay a hefty price.

This was also the reason why immortal Zhenrens stood highly. To this level, even though they were just Dixian, they could be considered a celestial. They could not be killed easily.

Shen Lian laughed, “If the three of you attack me at the same time, and I just stand here, I will definitely suffer a great deal of damage.”

After he said this, Lingguang’s beautiful eyes blinked. She hoped Shen Lian would leave, as now she began to appreciate his talent. Even if he was her enemy, he deserved respect.

Furthermore, it was not a good idea to force an immortal Zhenren into a desperate state.

Before Shen Lian could continue, all in a sudden the bull’s roar could be heard from the deep hole over there. A Green Bull crawled out from it, and its eyes were slightly puzzled. After it shook its eyes a few times, it figured out what happened after he saw the corpse of Wu Qingzi and the fallen tower of the black heaven and yellow earth.

It then saw the confrontation between Shen Lian and the three, including Yuming the Honored Celestial.

The Green Bull looked clumsy but it possessed intellect. It roared again, “Damn you, I will kill you.”

It expressed an overwhelming aura towards Shen Lian, even though its hooves did not move.

But the fact that even the Green Bull wanted to challenge Shen Lian made Daoqing happy. He said that “Shen Lian, if you don’t leave now, you will definitely regret.” It was difficult enough to face three celestials from Guangqing, and now with the Green Bull, even if Shen Lian tried his best to resist, it would be a miss.

Shen Lian was surprised too, as his five-colored divine peaks were formed from the Qi of five elements, it did not have the real weight of five real peaks, but when crushed on top of one’s body, it was more than hundreds of millions of pounds. Even if he was underneath it, it would be hard to escape.

This Green Bull was frightening, not only did it possessed such strength, it escaped within such a short time.

While he was surprised, he was not in despair. He followed the principle to take things as they came. He needed to protect the grandmaster.

With that thought, all the despair disappeared. Even if he died, he had been through a great experience and had taken the step to become a celestial.

He laughed loudly as he thought his mind was flowing smoothly. The water of the Milky Way was splashing.

Everyone could hear his loud voice like a boomerang which rang through the void, “If I walk away today, I will regret for the rest of my entire life. Don’t talk too much, come all at once.”

Even though he was in a desperate state, he felt even more motivated to fight, which shocked the three celestials of Guangqing.

“This individual is indeed a hero.” The three celestials from Guangqing all had the same thought.

They could not find any other description to describe this, and hence the word hero. While it did not quite match with a Daoist, but it was indeed appropriate.

The Green Bull thought about whether this person was crazy, or whether he had a backup plan. It had to be careful and let the three humans take action before it took any.
