Daoist Master of Qing Xuan

When Shen Lian’s palace got attacked by the thunder, a formation chart flew out of the palace and faced the bolts of lightning. In the berserk lightning sparks, the formation chart emitted a boundless Qi of cumulus cloud as though there was breathing and it started to gorge and disgorging.

The lightning also started to attack the formation chart orderly, like a brilliant blacksmith who ground a piece of pig iron into well-tempered steel.

The formation chart was continuously condensing and the smoke gradually dissipated but the thunder sound was still ongoing. A total of nine days and nights was spent for the clouds to disperse and the sky to become clear. When the moon shone, a formation chart expanded and there were countless of stars circulating in it. They were circulating around the three-hundred-sixty-degree globe in their respective positions. Under the connections of Qi dynamic, it actually formed an indestructible entity.

Finally, when the formation chart was rotating, uncountable stars revealed themselves and dropped in the hands of Shen Lian. It still seemed tranquil and shining, as though a universe dropped in Shen Lian’s palm.

Shen Lian said softly, “Once a tactical formation is successfully formed, it’s better than the flying celestials. So I’ll just name you ‘The Flying Celestial Formation Chart’.”

It was always known as the one which transcended beyond the mortal world and it was also addressed as the flying celestial. The collective power of that one hundred thousands of cultivators was actually way higher than that of the flying celestials but it did not have the ethereal transformations like the flying celestials. Hence, it could only be used in certain special occasions and it was not a disgrace for Shen Lian to name it ‘The Flying Celestial Formation Chart’.

The treasured item turned into living creatures due to Shen Lian. Hence, the rapid flickering of stars was counted as a recognition of Shen Lian’s form of address for them.

Although Shen Lian had refined many treasure items before, his mood was still extremely great because of it. Upon the completion of deriving this tactical formation, he held this refined formation chart which seemed to be completed in one go. Every structure within it reached his ultimate power and when it was finally formed, there seemed to be no deficiency. Although it was not the most precious asset, it was a successful item.

For him, it was exciting to be able to complete such a treasure item.

At the same time, he recalled the imitation of the painting of Mounts and Rivers of the Gods of Earth and Vale, he could not help but think that one day he might be able to imitate all the mythical treasure items which he had heard of previously. At that time, if he was able to meet the genuine edition, it must be something.

Not to mention that upon the completion of Shen Lian’s formation chart, it caught everybody’s attention. After Bei Mingzi got executed, due to its special bloodline, his mind and spirit did not vanish. His little spirituality was wandering in between the heaven and earth alone. In the end, it followed the contact in the unseen world and passed through countless space to reach a place where Ruoshui River was located at.

If the ancient celestials encountered this place, they would know that this place was the legendary bottomless valley in the sea. It was a place that many celestials used to gather at, aside from the Heaven Courtyard. It was a very rare and mysterious place in the Three Realms. Very few people would enter and also very few people who actually came back out from there.

In the endless water, there was no goose feathers, no sunlight and not even fishes. The remnants of Bei Mingzi’s spirituality came to the top of the bottomless valley in the sea as though it entered The Village of Nothingness. Its self-awareness got slowly worn away and it almost incorporated as one with the bottomless valley in the sea.

At that moment, he turned into an iceberg.

The iceberg was ten thousand miles long and had a perimeter of one hundred thousand miles. It was comparable to some of the stars in the universe. What was rarer was that it was one of the extremely rare buildings that could float in the bottomless valley in the sea.

Bei Mingzi’s leftover spirituality dived into the iceberg and passed through many gaps to finally be on the outside of a palace made of crystals. On top of it was written ‘Demon Master Palace’. At the same time, there was many strong Qi dynamic coming out from within the palace and there were actually about ten. All were not less powerful than when Bei Mingzi was still at the peak of his life.

One of the Qi dynamic differentiated into a cumulus cloud and wrapped around Bei Mingzi’s remnant spirituality and said, “He got infected by the filthy Qi of the Asura Blood Sea. Did he happen to have encountered the favorite disciple of the Master of Netherworld?”

“My dear third brother, you must be confused since you’ve not been out there for some time. The Master of Netherworld was sent by Daoist Master Taiyi for reincarnation. The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva took the opportunity to massacre the entire Asura Blood Sea. Even the Demon King Bo Xun already collapsed. How could there be a favorite disciple of the Master of Netherworld appearing out of nowhere?” Another voice appeared. It seemed like they knew quite a number of secret news.

“Ninth brother is old ancestor’s favorite and thus he got granted to get out there to experience and gain knowledge. Now that he got fooled to the extent that he couldn’t even be a spirit, he really humiliated us, the Kunpeng Clan.”

“My dear fifth brother, anyhow he’s also one of our brothers who achieved the demon body, let’s not gloat over it,” The person who spoke was dignified. The moment he started talking, those around him kept silent.

The one who wrapped Bei Mingzi’s remnant spirituality said, “My eldest brother if we want to restore ninth brother’s physical body, we have to go to the Western Paradise to request for lotus root from the Eight Treasures Pool of Virtue. There’s nobody else they’ll listen to except for you. After all, they don’t respect monks but only the buddhas. Since the Winning Buddha is your sworn brother, the Western Paradise will have to show you some respect.”

“Yes yes yes. Ninth brother is also the grandson of the Suparna King. If he’s in trouble, it shouldn’t be just us Kunpeng Clan that has to put in an effort to rescue him,” Someone else continued by saying this.

The eldest brother said, “Alright. I know you guys are dissatisfied with how old ancestor favors him more than you guys. But he’s still got the same bloodline relationship with us. It’s hard to continue seeing him go on like this. When old ancestor comes out and if he knows about this, we’ll all be punished.”

The eldest brother made the final decision with that sentence. Then, the rest of them stopped talking about this topic.

When they were discussing, Bei Mingzi’s remnant spirituality was grabbed by a Suparna bird. There was light faintly appearing on its claws. This clearly showed that there was Daoist force being injected into Bei Mingzi’s remnant spirituality. The moment when he flapped his wings, he flew out to ninety thousand miles away. He flew out from the bottomless valley in the sea and broke the void without any permission.

When it left, there was somebody saying, “Eldest brother’s supernatural power has already improved again during these few days. If we fight against him collectively we might not even be able to defeat him.”

“That’s for sure. Look at how our eldest brother used to join the six of them to fight against the Lord Emperor.”

“Stop exaggerating about it. That time when eldest brother and the six of them joined hands, they said they wanted to turn over the Heaven Courtyard but upon hearing that the Heaven Courtyard sent their army to encircle and suppress them, all of them fled. The only one left was the Winning Buddha’s previous incarnation, the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal who fought alone against the one hundred thousands of Celestial soldiers.

“The Winning Buddha has always been my idol. By the way, you criticise him, I’ve decided not to play the Heritage Tune of the Great Saint tonight. I’ll see how you guys can focus without my piano melody when you meditate.”

“Eleventh sister, I’m so thankful that you’re not going to play the piano. I finally can get a good night sleep in these one hundred years, why would I still want to meditate?”

“Eighth brother, all these while it’s a lie when you say you’re hardworking in cultivating. You actually sleep when I’m playing the piano. Do you know that ever since I heard that the Heritage Tune of the Great Saint can help in cultivating, I’m only trying to help you guys to improve your cultivation by playing piano every day?”

“The few of you are really crazy. Once the eldest brother has left, you guys became like this. I think that the tragedy of the world is about to arrive, if you still don’t want to cultivate, your ending may be even worse than ninth brother.”

“What’s there to be afraid of? We have the old ancestor’s protection. We’ve gotten through so many years in peace and stability,” The eleventh sister snorted.

The rest stopped talking. It seemed like Bei Mingzi’s misfortune not only made them gloat but it also served as a warning to be vigilant to them.

When the eleventh sister saw them in silence, she thought to herself, “Since none of you wants to play with me, I shall go find Kui Li sister.”

At the thought of it, she had the idea of leaving the bottomless valley in the sea but no one else realized about this. After all, jokes were still jokes. When they felt that they should be on guard, they sensed some unusual vital force. The last time they had this feeling was during the collapse of Heaven Courtyard.
