Daoist Master Of Qing Xuan Chapter 272 - Shifokou

Chapter 272 - s.h.i.+fokou

Zhao Xiaoyu brushed her scattered hair on her forehead, looking amazingly gorgeous as she stared into the horizon. The light breeze blew as if it was going to flick her dress open. Her delicate heels showered under the moonlight, triggering one's impulse to bow and wors.h.i.+p it.

She was filled with grace, yet Shen Lian remained motionless without a hint of desire.

Zhao Xiaoyu sighed lightly, "Tianxiang Order is actually not worth mentioning, but there has been a mysterious character that holds power in Tianxiang Order lately. Besides her high level of mana, her origin is what fears me."

Shen Lian asked, "What origin?"

"My three undercovers in Tianxiang Order were found by her, and then seduced by her to betray me. If it wasn't for my recent improvements in spiritual cultivation, I would have been injured by them. But as I observed from her techniques, they should be along the lines of Qingqiu", Zhao Xiaoyu sneered. Out of the countless dangerous scenarios she had been in, this one was nothing, but after what she suffered, she decided that she could not take this in and defeat both her and Tianxiang Order, since both originated from Luo Sect.

Shen Lian murmured slightly. Qingqiu was said to be a celestial mountain since the ancient beginning. However slightly different to the celestials who lived in other elusive celestial mountains like Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou, the occupants of Qingqiu were those of the fox clans. The divine fox which he had learned the Tongtian Skills from, was, in fact, originated from the mountainous region of Qingqiu.

"There is rarely anyone emerging from Qingqiu nowadays. Even if those were techniques from Mount Qingqiu, she may not necessarily be from Qingqiu," Shen Lian replied. He was not lying either, since he himself learned the Tongtian Skills from the divine fox.

"That could be true, but her seduction skills could only be cultivated by the fox clans, or could even be accessible only by those who had reached the level of a divine fox." As Zhao Xiaoyu described this, she had let out a little secret.

Her understanding of the secrets of this world genuinely surpa.s.sed Shen Lian's expectation. When they first met, Shen Lian was certain that the Zhao Xiaoyu back then did not know so well about these secrets. He could almost deduce that Zhao Xiaoyu had extraordinary ability inherited in her, even comparable to the foundation of the four main Daoist sects.

Since the ancient times, there had been multiple sudden appearances of G.o.ds and celestials, sermons, and visions.From the Daoist cultivation of heavenly sons to the uprising of various sects, all these were signs of the unpredictable rising development of civilization. It was only recently when Shen Lian was certain that this piece of land had a large connection with earth from his past life.

Zhao Xiaoyu might have inherited from a powerful person and helped her grow exponentially.

However, the attainment of the path to immortality was still reliant on oneself. From the beginning, there were only a few ways that could help achieve immortality, but these kinds of encounters were really hard to come by, maybe once in ten thousand years.

Shen Lian said, "Then, let me follow you there."

s.h.i.+fokou was situated in the middle of the Yuan Continent. Many years ago, a stone Buddha statue fell from the skies, with its back against the cliff and placed at the intersection of three main rivers, right on top of the water vein, hence the name; 's.h.i.+fo' means Stone Buddha, while 'Kou' means crossing.

The main altar of Tianxiang Order was hidden somewhere in s.h.i.+fokou.

Along the way, Shen Lian asked, "You said to cause trouble there. Why aren't you bringing any follower with you?"

Zhao Xiaoyu chuckled, "A great expert like you have the strength of millions of celestial soldiers. You, my great Chief Master, has been in and out of Taisu Sect alone. If we are any more than that, we would be thought as being weak."

Shen Lian's face turned sour as he coughed.

On the other hand, Ruoxi checked out her surroundings curiously. Since she had not been out play for such a long time, she was delighted to be wandering with her uncle, only slightly unadapted to the addition of this older sister, Zhao Xiaoyu.

At this moment, Shen Lian's face turned slightly pale yellow, a bit like a thirty-year-old. Zhao Xiaoyu was wearing a face veil to cover her stunningly beautiful face, whereas little Ruoxi looked like a blooming teenager at a marriageable age, making them like a good family of three.

Some girls get married at young age, therefore it was not surprising to see a lady at the age of twenty-seven or twenty-eight with a ten-year-old daughter.

It was not that three of them had lost the ability to fly, but it was Shen Lian's suggestion to walk, all because Ruoxi had not walked in the mortal world for a long time. Shen Lian knew that she still enjoyed the feeling of strolling, hence the suggestion.

In the meantime, Ruoxi can practice her Qi utilization along the way.

The Synchronized Heart Mantra of Taisu was one of The Art of Spiritual Enhancement. However, it was not known why Fairy Tianmeng had only used her secret techniques on Ruoxi to clear all of her acupoints, and not pa.s.sed on her high-level Qi techniques. However, Ruoxi had already learned the actual Qi techniques from Shen Lian, coupled with her talented nature, she was able to connect the Qi and almost achieve the level of Qiaodong.

She was just one step away from a.s.sembling all her mana.

Shen Lian did not push things as he allowed her to change her mentality, and told Ruoxi about her body conditions, preventing her from practicing the Taisu Synchronized Heart mantra by herself. The strange part of this Art of Spiritual Enhance was that even if one did not practice it consciously, its spiritual conscious would still strengthen at a slow pace.

There were even times when Ruoxi told him that she dreamt of teacher Fairy Tianmeng consecutively.

Shen Lian knew that this was caused by the Taisu Synchronized Heart Mantra, but he also investigated that this involved the core of one's spirit, therefore must have no room for error.

He could only wait till the whole issue resolved, and return to the mountain gates and find old Daoist at the Taiwei Pavilion for solutions.

But he presumed that it would not bring much results too, as he was well read all the literature and records in the Taiwei Pavilion. There was no senior who had any idea towards the spiritual core. That was one field that, even the G.o.ds could not touch easily.

Or else, one would study the human nature, and enable a Pow.a.n.g master to break through the realm of Xuw.a.n.g easily. Yet no one was able to do this yet.

s.h.i.+fokou was at the crossing of three rivers, rich in spirituality. The grand rivers and ca.n.a.ls were called the Dragon's vessels, and if one looked from a far distance, it would look like there were three dragons holding a Buddha statue.

The Buddha stone statue had gone through many years of winds and frost but still remained undamaged. Its face, body, feet were like the masterpiece of ghosts and G.o.ds, almost unbelievable.

The huge Buddha statue gave a person some kind of a shock to their spirits, and an impulse to wors.h.i.+p it.

No wonder there were so many devoted wors.h.i.+ppers along the way.

It was almost too easy to teach a crowd of followers under such atmosphere.

Tianxiang Order had such an advantage in its environment, yet it was so weak in the past years. It could only boil down to one conclusion, the lack of motivation in the order.

Many pedestrians looked at these three outsiders and pointed fingers at them.

Some even approached to ask, "What are you doing here?"

Zhao Xiaoyu looked on at this unknown wors.h.i.+per, "I am here to ransack the nest of Tianxiang Order."

That person looked at the three. Shen Lian looked really ill, but with a black sword on his back, he did not look like a person easy to be messed with. The little girl looked rather cute, but with a pair of sharp eyes, whereas this arrogant sounding lady did not look like any ordinary person.

He then hurried off to another direction, obviously going off to inform somebody.

Ruoxi said, "Sister Xiaoyu, aren't you causing a stir by beating the bush and stirring the snakes here?"

Zhao Xiaoyu pinched Ruoxi's cheeks and said, "Your uncle taught me this. We are beating the bush, but we are not stirring the snakes. These c.r.a.ppy bunch of Tianxiang Order are only bugs."

She looked on proudly and filled with energy.
