Jing Shu was more heartbroken than Kui Li herself. She mentioned assertively, “I will carry you and leave.”

Amidst her resistance against Tianyi’s powerful attacks, Jing Shu shapeshifted into a Kunpeng in a blink of an eye. Without permitting any other forms of interference, she carried Kui Li on her back, spread her wings and soared. The approaching colossal mountain was forcefully flapped aside, causing it to be led astray.

Before she could catch her breath, she saw a lady Bodhisattva whom eyebrows were as magnificent as mountains and the moon. There was a sudden change in Jing Shu’s mien, she said, “Jingling Shengmu.”

Lady of the Mother Chariot smiled and said, “The Demon Master of Kunpeng had told you my honorific? Leave the lady who is on your back, I will not trouble you.”

Jing Shu said, “Do not even think of it.”

Surprisingly, Kui Li spoke. She said coldly, “Jing Shu, head west. Find someone called Shen Lian, let him come to Bi You Palace to save me.”

When she finished speaking, she flew away from Jing Shu’s body willingly and landed by the side of Lady of the Mother Chariot.

Jing Shu mentioned loudly, “I would immediately return after seeking for help.”

Since Lady of the Mother Chariot had successfully caught Kui Li, she did not bother about Jing Shu anymore. After all, Jing Shu appeared in her original form, which was Kunpeng. How could she not recognize her origins?

Tianyi caught up with them very quickly. Lady of the Mother Chariot, however, did not bother to attend to him. She took Kui Li with her and turned into flowing lights. Promptly, they had entered the Bi You Palace.

Having entered the place of enlightenment that once belonged to Tongtian Order Master, Kui Li examined the place irresistibly.

Lady of the Mother Chariot spoke softly, “In the past, Mahamayuri had come to Bi You Palace too. I have no intentions of harming you despite capturing you. As long as you help me to convey a message, remind him to return a favor he once owed me in the past, I would help to heal your injuries and let you leave as you wish.”

Kui Li spoke calmly, “I will not do it.”

Lady of the Mother Chariot sighed and said, “I only have this request. If it was not due to my lack of options, why did I have to take the risk in enraging Tianyi to save you?”

Kui Li said, “Mahamayuri is not Kong Xuan. Even if I did convey the message for you, he would not help you anyway.”

Lady of the Mother Chariot said, “You would never know until you try.”

Kui Li smirked and said, “You should be more worried about the fact that he would be coming to save me, what can you do?”

Lady of the Mother Chariot spoke sternly, “This is Bi You Palace, if he can save you out from here, it means that I would be powerless to mend the situation.”

Kui Li deliberated and said, “It seems that you do not only want me to convey him a message, you also want to lure Shen Lian.”

“I would have never thought that such a noble origin of yours had been his mount once if someone had not told me so,” said Lady of the Mother Chariot as she smiled.

“You are wrong, we are friends,” Kui Li shook her head as she replied.

Lady of the Mother Chariot said, “Now, do you think your good friend can save you out?”

“Yes,” answered Kui Li assertively.

Lady of the Mother Chariot saw her unwavering stance and confident look. It did not appear as if she was deceiving. Instead, she truly affirmed this point. She asked curiously, “You actually have so much faith in him?”

Kui Li said, “This is because he is someone who can change impossibilities into possibilities. You are doomed to fail for you do not understand this.”

Lady of the Mother Chariot said calmly, “Irrefutably, Shen Lian is a remarkable talent. However, I have also seen people who were more impressive and talented than he is. Besides that monkey, Perfected Lord of Qingyuan Miaodao’s cultivation speed and his enlightenment towards Dao had far preceded him. However, despite these facts, Perfected Lord of Qingyuan Miaodao had never once in his life reached anywhere near my honored master’s side. This is the very place where my honored master held his lectures of Dao for years and it still contains this old man’s mighty force.”

Kui Li replied casually, “Do not forget, his Art of Spiritual Enhancement has deep relations to the Supreme Jade Emperor.”

Lady of the Mother Chariot said silently, “If he managed to save you out from here, it means that the honored master had abandoned me. If this was the case, there would no meaning in my existence anymore.”

Suddenly, Kui Ran was speechless. Though this person was abominable she was truly someone who treasured relationships and ties.

Even though the respectable Mahamayuri had attested and constructed the supreme Dao fruit, she would never forgive him. Never would she respect or admire his achievements.

Lady of the Mother Chariot then brought Kui Li to the silent room that worshipped Tongtian Order Master’s portrait. She said softly, “Once Chen Jianmei’s Anatt? Sword initiated a strike, it never fails to impress others. However, in comparison to my honored master’s sword, it was not worthy to even be mentioned. Not to mention the Quadruple Extermination of Celestial sword, even with Qingping Sword alone, he was already far from being contestable.”

Kui Li said, “Your teacher is someone I deeply admire. However, the people around him were unable to compete with him. Ever since the universe was founded, only Daoist Master Taiyi and the Buddha managed to attest and construct the supreme Dao fruit with their postnatal bodies. How can the others compare themselves with your teacher and these great figures?”

Lady of the Mother Chariot said, “In actuality, both the Heavenly King and the Emperor had the opportunity to reach that supreme level. Nonetheless, they ultimately missed and lost the chance of doing so.”

Kui Li said, “You think that the opportunity has reappeared?”

Lady of the Mother Chariot answered, “Is that not the case?”

Kui Li did not reply. She found a futon in the silent room and sat down. When she inhaled and exhaled, each breath produced white smoke that looked alike to two mythical dragons which traversed in and out of her nostrils. At the same time, her injuries started to heal gradually.

...

The palace of Zhou nation had three thousand successful cultivators as guardians. These three cultivators did not even manage to suppress the single breath of a young lady.

They were severely defeated. If the lady had not control herself, they would have lost their lives.

This young lady arrived at Shen Lian’s palace and only made one statement, “Kui Li is at Palace Bi You. She is waiting for you to save her.”

When she first saw Shen Lian, she felt a sense of familiarity. After some thought, she discovered that Shen Lian’s pulses were pretty similar to the old Daoist. However, the old Daoist was more unpredictable and it seemed that he lacked something which Shen Lian had.

Of course, it was not to say that Shen Lian was more powerful than the old Daoist. Instead, it meant that Shen Lian had a unique trait. It can be said that this specialty was extremely scarce and exceptionally precious.

Such a trait was not even possessed by Kunpeng’s Founding Master.

As such, she finally understood why Kui Li requested her to seek for Shen Lian.

Shen Lian crossed his hands behind his back and said, “Palace Bi You is the place of enlightenment of Tongtian Order Master. In addition, its coordinates change from time to time. In order to seek for its exact location, I need some time.”

Jing Shu said, “There is no need for time. I know the exact location of Palace Bi You. You only have to follow me.”

Shen Lian did not inquire how Jing Shu knew the location. This was because he had identified her pulses which were identical to Bei Mingzi’s. With such an origin, it was not surprising that she possessed much more information than the others. It just seemed that this lady was still not aware of the incident that happened between him and Bei Mingzi.

Shen Lian had no intention of informing her about the matter for he had more important things to attend to.

Saving Kui Li was an irrefutable decision. As what Kui Li had mentioned, this was because they were friends.

Shen Lian did not have many friends. However, as long as one was acknowledged by him, he would help his friend willingly. In addition, he should have already made a trip to Bi You Palace. This was because he had never clearly understood the things mentioned in ‘the Mastery of Senses’. With this trip, he might receive an answer.

Shen Lian brought no one along with him. He merely held a ceremonial cultivation of the painting of Mounts and Rivers of the Gods of Earth and Vale and transformed into a white cloud that floated swiftly. He took Jing Shu with him and headed towards the direction of Bi You Palace in accordance with Jing Shu’s instructions.
