Daoist Master Of Qing Xuan Chapter 653 - Bei Mingzi

Chapter 653 - Bei Mingzi

Lady Mother of the Chariot who was at Biyou Palace sensed the astronomical changes. Her attempt to kill Daoist Lu Ya failed but instead, she was heavily injured. It had been a while and her wounds yet to recover fully.

She felt p.i.s.sed just thinking about it. If it was not for Chen Jianmei, Lu Ya's incarnation in this realm would have fallen in her hands. Furthermore, she could have also prevented that young brat, Shen, from interfering with the matters of the Netherworld. If things went on as planned, she could have borrowed the fate1 of Netherworld, rebuild the orthodoxy of Jie Order, and restore the glory they once had in the past.

Chen Jianmei's unexpected sword charged over and crushed her meticulously planned scheme.

However, Lady Mother of the Chariot was sincerely impressed by Chen Jianmei's sword. In the past, if her senior apprentice-brother was as gifted as Chen Jianmei, she would not have been left alone to support the Biyou Palace.

She got up and headed toward the room of cultivation that had a portrait of Tongtian Order Master hanging on the stone wall. If Shen Lian was present, he would have noticed that this portrait seemed a lot more lonely and empty, unlike the Lord Lingbao that he visualized. The Tongtian Order Master was dressed in a red robe and had disheveled hair. Instead of an auspicious jade, he had a long sword in his hands. But it was his eyes that oozed a hint of destruction was the most terrifying of all as if he could destroy and change the world as he wished.

Only those who had reached a very high level of cultivation could fathom that the Tongtian Order Master was, in fact, Lord Lingbao, but Lord Lingbao may not necessarily be the Tongtian Order Master. The two were not equal.

She took a joss stick and bowed toward the portrait three times. Lady Mother of Chariot then lighted a lamp in front of the portrait. A golden light lit up the room. It radiated the room as if the Tongtian Order Master was about to walk out from the portrait alive.

The lamp was one among the tens of thousands of golden lamps that Tongtian Order Master produced. The war back then did not affect the Tongtian Order Master's body, but several of his golden lamps were jeopardized. Lady Mother of the Chariot found one of it. By pairing it with the portrait left behind by her honored master, she was able to absorb the spiritual vigor of it for a speedy recovery.

She had value this opportunity dearly and was reluctant to use it. However, she had no other choice as Shen Lian was making a forceful comeback while she was still injured. There was no way she could defend herself from that.

As she was recovering, a voice came from the outside of Biyou Palace. "Is Daoist Jinling around? I would like to request for an audience."

The voice breezed through the Dao restriction and entered the palace.

Lady Mother of the Chariot was stunned. She had no idea whose voice was that, and anyone who was capable of disseminating their voice into Biyou Palace must be quite a character.

She was inside Biyou Palace and naturally she was not fearful of that person. She took a formula and started chanting. Biyou Palace's restriction then opened up a small gap.

A stream of light flashed through the gap and landed outside of Biyou Palace's hall. Concurrently, Lady Mother of the Chariot arrived at the entrance of the hall.

The visitor was dressed in ancient Chinese clothing and had a long sword strapped behind his back. He was gold in color from head to toe, but it was his eagle-like nose that was most memorable. He also had a terrifyingly sharp gaze, so sharp that it was as if he could cut through s.p.a.ce.

However, Lady Mother of the Chariot was focused on his vigorous Daoist force. It was both Yin and gloomy, and it was obvious that he had been cultivating in the Netherworld for several years.

She was surprised that she had never noticed such a ferocious figure in the Netherworld.

She coldly questioned, "Who on earth are you?"

"I am the current Tiryagyoni Path Master of the Underworld Demon Sect. My Daoist name is Bei Mingzi." The person smiled as he responded to the question. His tone was sinister and it was somewhat disturbing.

Lady Mother of Chariot gave a quick thought and recalled the origins of Underworld Demon Sect. Ever since the Netherworld Master vanished, he took two supreme killing sword, Yuantu and Avici, and reincarnated.

Yuantu reincarnated to be the apprentice of Daoist Master Taiyi and became accomplished. Avici on the other hand reincarnated to be an apprentice of an unknown person, but also attained similar achievements as Yuantu and founded an orthodox known as the Underworld Demon Sect. It was short-lived and n.o.body knew where did the people of demon sect ended up at.

Back then, she was fearful of the supernatural powers of Avici and did not probe further. She did not expect Underworld Demon Sect to appear at this crucial period.

Lady Mother of the Chariot asked, "And why are you looking for me?"

"Nothing else. Now that Xia, Shang, and Zhou are side by side in the Netherworld, they would eventually have to decide on a Master of Destiny. I am here to offer you my support," Bei Mingzi responded.

Lady Mother of the Chariot asked, "Do you represent the entire Underworld Demon Sect?"

Bei Mingzi looked at Lady Mother of the Chariot deeply and answered, "I represent myself."

Lady Mother of the Chariot spoke, "Everything coexists in Yin and Yang. Between Yuantu and Avici, only one could exist, am I right?"

Bei Mingzi sighed, "You are indeed the direct disciple of Daoist Master. Founding Master Avici and Senior Yuantu have been fighting endlessly. But my intention of supporting you had nothing to do with Founding Master Avici and the Underworld Demon Sect."

Lady Mother of the Chariot may have gone off topic but she actually captured the essence of the conversation. Yuantu and Avici were born at the same time as innate killer swords. However, everything coexists in Yin and Yang, and there were no exceptions to these two. They would not have had conflicts if they were still the killer instrument of the Netherworld Master.

However, as they attained and sought Dao, they had to engulf their rival to complete themselves in order to attain the Dao of supreme detachment. Otherwise, even if they were powerful, they would still be incomplete.

This was a natural contradiction and there was no way to resolve it unless one of them was willing to sacrifice for the sake of the other party. However, anyone who had reached this level of cultivation, regardless of background, would never self-sacrifice. Lady Mother of the Chariot had only encountered one person, and that was Chen Jianmei. Even so, he did not sacrifice for anyone.

Furthermore, Yuantu and Shen Lian had a relations.h.i.+p. It was nothing unusual for Lady Mother of the Chariot to a.s.sume that Underworld Demon Sect did not want Shen Lian to succeed.

However, Bei Mingzi denied this and she could not understand why.

She said, "You and I are not gullible people. If you are determined with your intentions, prove it with actions. I would never trust verbal agreements."

Bei Mingzi smiled. "Of course I would show you my sincerity. The newly founded Zhou Dynasty has a weak foundation. I am not talented but I have tricks under my sleeves. You would see my sincerity when I turn the Zhou nation into an ocean."

Lady Mother of the Chariot's expression changed, she said, "Are you not afraid of the sin of killing?"

Bei Mingzi laughed. "In my Dao, I cultivate enlightenment as well as the sin of killing."

Lady Mother of the Chariot was awe-inspired. There were indeed techniques that would convert the sins of killing into cultivation. But these techniques were not easy. This person may be from Underworld Demon Sect but it was impossible for him to obtain such a technique from the Underworld Demon Sect. What on earth was this person's background?

But whatever he intended to do would cause no harm to her and it would be foolish of her to stop him.

She responded, " I look forward to witnessing your intentions." The 'borrowing of fate' refers to a Fengshui practice where one would take someone else's good fortune and swap it with the borrower's bad fortune.
