In an instance, Lu Shouyi’s sword gleamed like the tail of a comet and it mercilessly locked on Zhang Lingxian.

Zhang Lingxian saw that and was fuming, “Do you really want to go against me?”

He revolved his mana and released rays of green lights to shield himself; at the same time, he tossed a piece of jade up high. As the piece of jade went up in mid-air, it released numerous green wind daggers that ferociously spread out across the void.

Lu Shouyi was surrounded by a peaceful Dao melody that fiddled the void. He moved his body and was able to avoid the wind daggers. This was indeed a brilliant method of self-defense as Lu Shouyi was able to invade the void that was filled with wind daggers.

The sword gleamed in extreme brightness and it pierced through Zhang Lingxian’s light of shield as the shield convulsed. The wind daggers surrounded the sword’s gleam but as Lu Shouyi tapped on it, the wind daggers retreated back. Blood spilled out from Zhang Lingxian’s mouth, it was obvious that he was no match against Lu Shouyi.

Bai Suhuan witnessed the scene and flexed his finger to trigger the water and fire. He still had some strength within him even if he was fighting against Gu Caiwei. Furthermore, he had great vision and could tell that Lu Shouyi had damaged Zhang Lingxian with little effort. At this very moment, his Qi dynamic was not stable as he counter-attacked Lu Shouyi who was in the process of exchanging his Qi.

There was a strong blasting sound as the fire and water inter-stimulated each other to attack Lu Shouyi. The force of the power was terrorizing.

He did not have the time to regather the sword gleam and could only use his palm to release his mana. In a split second, he converted thousands of palms to a single palm and threw it continuously like an endless stream of clouds.

When the palm and the fire-water forces collided, it produced loud crashing flash flood-liked sound. The tremors of the collision were so strong as if the earth was about to split open.

The tremors had inflicted some damage to Lu Shouyi as his meridian points were shaken, causing him some pain. As a result, he could not summon the mana and that was when he realized that Bai Suhuan was far beyond his level.

He took three steps backward as the earth cracked open and absorbed some of the excess force.

Bai Suhuan said coldly, “Kiddo, I advised you to not get involved in this matter. It took you so much effort to reach this level.”

Lu Shouyi forcefully suppressed his boiling temper, “Doyen Bai, why are you doing something like this? Are you not afraid that Zhenren Ziling and the Chief would question you?”

Bai Suhuan smirked in his mind and thought to himself, “It would take Ziling another ten to twenty years or so to come back and we don’t know the status of Shen Lian. Now that my time is about to end, who cares about things like that?”

In contrast to his thoughts, he said, “I served the school without any guilt. If Gu Caiwei is up to no good, why wouldn’t she tell us about Shen Lian’s whereabouts and why is she holding on to the celestial medicine and is not willing to hand it out?

In a loud voice, Zhang Lingxian said, “Everyone, please listen to what I have to say. I have been trying to find out about the Chief’s whereabouts from Gu Caiwei for days. She would tell me that the Chief is on a solitary retreat. But when I tried to probe further on his location, she wouldn’t answer me. Doesn’t that sound fishy to you? Qing Xuan is going through a critical point now, you people have to clear your eyes and not follow the evil generation.”

Gu Caiwei had cut off her five senses and she could not feel any of the external disturbance. The Taixu Divine Qi was operating in full force, trying to complete Dan Dao.

Zhang Lingxian’s words had provoked the morale of his people. Furthermore, as Lu Shouyi was defeated by Bai Suhuan, the disciples behind Gu Caiwei started to shake.

“Doyen Zhang, how about you tell us who is part of this evil generation?”

A young Daoist dressed in a feather robe and a star-shaped crown could be seen from some distance away. He seemed like a thousand feet away but in a blink of an eye, he was by the side of Gu Caiwei.

He barely had any expression on his face but his eyes were deep and clear as he locked his vision on Zhang Lingxian and Bai Suhuan.

Concurrently, he placed his hand on Gu Caiwei to increase the dynamic of her Qi. Bai Suhuan started shaking and took back his Qi dynamics. He had an unreadable calm expression on his face.

Zhang Lingxian was stunned to see Shen Lian. Shen Lian’s deep eyes took a glanced at him and he felt a sudden mountain-like weight pressing on his chest, causing him to have trouble speaking.

Bai Suhuan said, “Since Shen Lian has appeared, let’s make things clear. My doomsday is near and I would like to request for the celestial medicine to prolong my life. Gu Caiwei wasn’t cooperative and didn’t want to tell us about your whereabouts and that lead to what happened today.”

It was perfectly justifiable for cultivators to seek immortality, especially that his doomsday was about to arrive, and it somewhat still made sense for him to do something so out of ordinary like this.

Shen Lian took a glance at Bai Suhuan and then radiated five rays of light – green, yellow, red, black and white; the five colored Qi of essence. The rays of light wrapped around him and that was quite a magical scene.

He flexed a finger and the ray of black Qi of essence dashed towards Zhang Lingxian and his company. Within a spark, it has brushed through Zhang Lingxian, forcing him to fall to the ground. He cast a spell and in no time, everyone around Bai Suhuan collapsed to the grown defenselessly.

With such minimal effort, it could be seen that Shen Lian’s skills were at the level of a celestial Buddha.

Shen Lian smiled, “Doyen Bai, how did you hear about the celestial medicine?”

He took down Zhang Lingxian in front of everyone without saying too much and he went straight to the point when questioning Bai Suhuan.

Bai Suhuan answered with a low voice, “I found it out by chance.”

“And what do you mean by chance?” Shen Lian probed further.

Bai Suhuan kept a straight face, he did not answer but instead asked another question, “Looks like you’re doubting me and you’re not willing to give me the celestial medicine.”

Shen Lian replied, “That’s right, I am indeed suspicious of you.”

Bai Suhuan sighed, “I am willing to surrender my life savings to trade for the celestial medicine. I don’t have any other requests, you have to grant me this.”

Shen Lian said, “You have to first tell me where you’ve heard about the celestial medicine and I will consider it. If you don’t, I won’t hand it over to you.”

Bai Suhuan replied in a low voice, “We shall let the winner decide then. If you are defeated, you will have to hand over the celestial medicine. I guarantee that I will never give any further trouble to Qing Xuan in the future.”

Shen Lian calmly responded, “Sure, you will be convinced, in heart and by word.”

He moved slightly and a ray of clear Qi dashed through the door’s Dao restriction to reach thousands of feet high up the sky. At this very moment, the clouds were floating by Shen Lian as he sparkled in five different colors. It was indeed eye-catching. At the same time, he howled with a clear voice, stirring the wind and clouds; he was in an imposing form.

Bai Suhuan too did not slack. He released clear Qi from his body and swept through the clouds to produce strong windy clouds above his head. Both of their Qi dynamics were like an intertwined long cable. As the sky darkens, the wind and rain took over.

It was the intertwining of their Qi dynamics that caused a changed in the Yin and Yang forces of the universe and as a result, the heaven and earth responded accordingly.

Bai Suhuan’s Code of the Bright Moon had entered the transformation state and was considered one of the top cultivators in the universe. Compared to the likes of Huanzhen, he was not too far inferior from that. Shen Lian’s mana may have increased tremendously but it was still not an easy feat to take down his opponent.

As Gu Caiwei lost the external force, she fell on her knees as the eight Qi of Taixu flows and the entire vitality of the Taiyi Peak came together. The Qi of vitality came by like a wave and it shook the disciples surrounding her. The disciples were generally skillful but they were still stunned by the scene, as it was a sign of Huandan.

A pact of disciples silently surrounded Gu Caiwei to protect her. They cannot afford to be distracted by the fight between Shen Lian and Bai Suhuan.

Chapter 292: Time Waits For No Man

Judging from the changes of the ground, one could tell that Shen Lian and Bai Suhuan were in an entire league of their own.

Shen Lian smiled, “Doyen Bai, shall we change to a different location?”

Bai Suhuan took a quick look down and sighed, “Seems like I’ve become your grindstone.”

He could tell that he somewhat contributed to Gu Caiwei’s progress in Huandan.

Bai Suhuan released a dash of clear Qi and broke through the dust cloud.

Shen Lian let out a laugh and went after him, developing a chase between the both of them.

Bai Suhuan could sense that Shen Lian was about to overtake him and in a split second, Shen Lian appeared right in front of him. Bai Suhuan was amazed that Shen Lian was able to achieve such feat although he had only been cultivating for less than thirty years. Shen Lian was indeed a rare prodigy

Within thirty minutes, both of them had activated their full mana and traveled at the speed of light to somewhere far far away.

They paused at the same time after traveling up to thousand over feet. The wind flew through their body as the clouds leisurely floated pass and changed its shape.

Shen Lian was as calm as usual, his thin Dao robe swayed in the direction of the wind, he looked classy like a celestial being. His body gradually radiated the five rays of colored light beams; he looked like a holy deity.

Bai Suhuan looked dignified while Shen Lian was calm and composed. Bai Suhuan would not say that this was a sure victory but as things progressed to this stage, he had no choice but to fight.

Shen Lian took the first move by flexing his finger to produce a golden glow. The clouds and smoke condensed to form a gigantic sword that looked like a mountain peak, and the sword headed towards the direction of Bai Suhuan.

He used gold to build up his Qi essence and produced the Qingjiang’s True Wandering Light Sword. The mighty sword was so strong, the only person who could probably defeat it would be Lingzi, the Grandmaster of the Qingjiang Sect.

One slash with this sword and everything within a thousand miles radius were swept away.

Bai Suhuan kept a straight face as clouds were formed above his head. The clouds formed a yellow giant palm that mercilessly aimed towards the direction of the True Wandering Light Sword.

A ray of clear yellow light shattered and the void cracked as a result of the collision between the two forces. Wild waves followed by strong wind shook the lofty sky.

In an instant, clouds and birds have washed away. The birds that came in contact with their Qi turned into bloody rain and it vanished with the wind.

“The end of the world is distant as the moon cuts like a knife.”

Bai Suhuan’s voice echoed across the sky and it was somewhat fitting with the abstruse discourse of heaven and earth as the void played into his favor. Under the clear bright sky, the bright moon gradually rises.

Shen Lian knew clearly that this was the Daoist form of the Code of Bright Moon that Bai Suhuan had been cultivating for years. Although it was not the real moon, it was still terrorizing.

The moon raised from the east and the strands of moonlight shined downwards.

What else could be quicker than the speed of light?

The strands of moonlight were like flying knives.

Bai Suhuan dissolved into the moonlight, his body gleamed in bright yellow as his flesh and blood looked crystal clear. He looked like a deity of the moon.

Each ray of moonlight was produced by Bai Suhuan’s Taiyin Light Qi of essence that was engraved with his Dao sentiments. These rays could easily crush gold and metal.

Shen Lian felt a strong sense of pressure as the rays of moonlight hit him; it almost felt like his whole body was being slashed by a knife. As the moonlight shined on him, Shen Lian felt the sensation of a thousand knives.

This was the very first time Shen Lian encountered a person of Powang level fighting in full force and at the same time, he had a new found sense of admiration towards Bai Suhuan. This man had used his entire mind to practice and cultivate the Code of Bright Moon without any greedy thoughts and had refined his skills to a breathtaking level.

Although Shen Lian had previously experienced the space and realized the five elements of Dao, everything he has learned was not as refined as Bai Suhuan’s hundred years of cultivation of the Code of Bright Moon.

He needed just one more step to attain Powang and it was not something Bai Suhuan could provide. It had to come from the five elements of Dao of the Taixu Strategy that would be really hard to find.

Shen Lian’s Qi kept rising; under the attack of the moonlight, he finally displayed what he had learned for his entire life.

Countless of secret methods came together to form the fundamentals of the five elements of the Qi of essence that was constantly evolving to form endless layers.

Every offensive tactic came in handy as it builds up the Taixu Strategy’s state of Interpromotion and Interrestraint of the five elements. He could apply the Piercing Flying Punches, the Mark of Mountains and Rivers, Shapeless Sword Aura, Beaming Red Flame, as well as many other different techniques simultaneously to engulf the moonlight.

This was the ultimate battle between the art of spells – Bai Suhuan’s extremely refined Code of Bright Moon versus Shen Lian’s art of million techniques at will.

The moonlight gradually dimmed as they collide each other for countless times; Shen Lian slowly gained the upper hand.

The moonlight gradually dimmed as they collided with each other for countless times; Shen Lian slowly gained the upper hand.

Up to this stage, Bai Suhuan realized that Shen Lian was a class above him. Even if he had yet to see Shen Lian’s true form, he knew that Shen Lian was only millimeters away from achieving Powang to become a Primordial Spirit and obtain immortality. It was totally possible and absolutely not far beyond reach for Shen Lian.

He had a sense of hatred, why was God so unfair as some people like Ziling and Shen Lian had so much potential. To them, one year of cultivation was equivalent to other people’s ten years of hard work. Why was it that he put in so much effort in cultivating, cut off all desires, did not take in any disciples and yet, had to face such a tragic ending.

All these hatreds fuelled his determination to fight Shen Lian.

He held the incantation as a boundless stream of breath appeared and aimed towards Shen Lian.

This incantation was known as ‘Time Waits for No Man’ and it was second to the Ultimate Knife of Taiyin from the Code of the Bright Moon. The Ultimate Knife of Taiyin required immortality in order to cultivate it. In other words, it was the one and only technique that Bai Suhuan had yet to master.

Time Waits for No Man was the ultimate abstruse technique of the Code of Bright Moon and it actually involved time travel.

Shen Lian had briefly read about Time Wait for No Man at the Taiwei Pavillion. He had to experience it in order to tell how powerful it was.

True warriors die in the field.

Time Waits for No Man was not an offensive tactic but a Dao method that weakens the opponent. No matter how strong the opponent’s method was, it would weaken over time.

In other words, no matter how strong one’s methods were, under the influence of Time Waits for No Man, even the most earth-shattering power would become an ordinary force.

Bai Suhuan’s method was effective in reducing the power of Shen Lian’s mixed technique.

However, Bai Suhuan too, took a toll on it as his expression turned dull. The moon has lost its power and moonlight too has lost its fieriness.

Shen Lian, on the other hand, looked relaxed and composed. After all, Bai Suhuan was a Powang expert with hundreds of years of experience. It would not make sense to defeat him so effortlessly.

His lips curved slightly, giving a light smile as he released the ray of light and pierce through the void. Every methods and spell that he had learned was played out and it came out more and more affluently.
