At Qingxuan’s Taiyi Peak, there was a pavilion built somewhere near a cliff carved with Huangting. There was smoke of tea floating in the pavilion just like the constantly changing cloud-dragon. The fragrance of tea can be smelled lingering in the pavilion. Regardless of who was in it, they would feel clear and refreshing.

So Qingxiao founding master let Yanxu go because of Lian?
Shen Lian took the entire cup of tea while looking at Ziling founding master who was wearing light purple robes.
Ziling also took a sip of the fragrant tea. A cooling feel surged into the bottom of her heart. There was aftertaste lingering in her mouth continuously just like the nebula somewhere far in the universe.

Unless you’re calm, the tea wouldn’t be made good. It’s seen that you now have a calm and peaceful mentality, there’s nothing that bothers you. As long as you have this state of mind, you can get through everything. As for Qingxiao she didn’t let Yanxu go entirely because of you, it’s also because she couldn’t kill him,
Ziling said. Today, Lingguang was not by her side.
Shen Lian’s eyes were gloomy and dim which was a big contrast with the continuously flowing stars on his body. He softly put down the jade-like teacups and said,
founding master do you know ever since that day, how much has Yanxu done?



Ziling said,
what did he do? I went out to Tianwai and now I just got back. I feel like the world and the designs of nature are in a complication. I also feel everything is blurry and thus I quickly come back to Qingxuan and luckily it’s safe.

The present Ziling gave people an impression that she had a personality as vast as the universe, her eyes were clear like water but when you looked closely, there was no shadow of things in her eyes. This was the state of not leaving any traces. It also indicated that there was nothing worth lingering for her in this world. She would transcend beyond the mortal world very soon.
Shen Lian had a feeling that he might not be able to meet his founding master that much anymore in the mortal world.
He said slowly,
because the tragedy of the world is finally here. Even I was shocked at the power that Yanxu controlled within his hands. He revealed the power in his hands to the public and named it the Demonic Order, involving the entire Yuan Continent.
Green Lotus Sword Sect’s mountain gate was defeated in half a day and there was nobody who survived. Our Qing Xuan’s affiliated Qingjiang Sword sect was also attacked by the Demonic Order at the same time and there were only three people who managed to escape. Zhengyi Sect’s Celestial Master, Zhang Ziling had his Talisman Seeds that he reared for hundreds of years taken away. Even the Tai Su Sect had initiated to join the Demonic Order. Now the slightly expanded celestial sect also closed its mountain gate tightly for self-protection. As for the smaller celestial sects, some initiated to join the Demonic Order and there were a lot that ran away.
Even so, the Demonic Order is still keeping its speed of demolishing one orthodoxy each day. I’m afraid that not long later, the land of Yuan Continent and all the past masters’ orthodoxies would be eliminated by the Demonic Order and it’d gradually have the power of ruling the Yuan Continent. If he’s able to reach this stage, by combining the power of heaven and ground, he’d be able to continue to sweep Tianhua Continent away, until he conquers all the places that we have to achieve his great undertaking that has not happened before. By then he would be so powerful that it’s not just about being immortal anymore.

Ziling’s expression did not change but she said,
it seems like the Eight Sects of Buddhism didn’t suffer any damage.

Shen Lian smiled while saying,
you’re almost right founding master. The Demonic Order intentionally avoids the Eight Sects of Buddhism. Yanxu is smart, he knows the long-lasting conflicts between Daoism and Buddhism. As long as the Demonic Order only goes against Xuanmen, the Eight Sects of Buddhism would be happy to see that. However, Miao Di Zen master is a discerning person. He once gathered the rest of the seven Zen masters in an attempt to kill Yanxu but unfortunately, nobody responded.

Ziling said,
when it comes to the deities, which of them isn’t clear of the pros and cons? Just that everyone had their own mighty mana. They don’t think that they’re incomparable to the others. Thus, they didn’t realize that once Yanxu rules the Xuan Men, after he gathers all the mighty powers, it’s impossible for them to defeat him. Or maybe they think that the rest of the three main Daoist sects will still be able to stop the Demonic Order. At the same time, they’re glad to see Yanxu wearing away our abilities.


Regardless of how they think, it doesn’t matter anymore. Lian has already decided to have Bier Discourse of Dao with Yanxu, to make an end to the antecedents that Qing Xuan hadn’t resolved in hundreds of years,
Shen Lian said.


Ziling said,
But you need to gather the tokens from the four main Daoist sects to activate the Mount Bier Fang Cun. Tai Su’s token is already in Yanxu’s hand. He’s always been longing for the things within the Mount Bier Fang Cun. You invite him for Bier Discourse of Dao, he definitely wouldn’t say no. But it’s not easy to get the tokens from Tai Shang and Xuan Tian.

Shen Lian took out a painted scroll from his sleeve and open it up on the stone table. There was nothing on the painted scroll except a Taichi illustration of a clear distinction between black and white. There was nothing special about it.

So Taishang Daoist sect’s token is a Taichi illustration, this should be the monotype of Taichi illustration from Tai Shang Daoist Master. Its value is no less than of a magic talisman. How did you get this?
Ziling asked.
Shen Lian said,
Taishang Daoist sect’s newly selected respected Daoist, Wu Chenzi sent a boy to personally deliver this illustration. He brought one sentence too,
Shen Zhenren cares about the people, Taishang Daoist sect wouldn’t dare to not contribute this illustration’.

Ziling found it funny and said,
he’s trying to get himself out of this trouble. As long as he contributes this, he would be able to stay out of it.

Shen Lian sighed,
since he’s willing to give in to this Taichi illustration, he must be broad-minded. Actually I not only don’t blame him, but I also admire this person’s certainty on winning and losing. If it were Xiang Rili, I’m afraid that I’d have to discuss Daoism with him.


Now your heart is loosened, but you must know that going beyond the limit is as bad as falling short. Treating everything lightly would be able to make you understand more about the state of Dao, but it’d also make you easily lose your desire for competition. You may be at disadvantage during ‘Bier Discourse of Dao’. That’s all I have to say. The Taichi illustration is useful for me, when you’re about to go to the Mount Bier Fang Cun, come here to get it,
Ziling took the Taichi illustration and kept it. Since she pondered the Yin Yang ingenious Dao, Taishang Daoist sect’s Taichi illustration is significantly useful for her, thus she naturally would not feel embarrassed with Shen Lian. Moreover, she also produced an apparatus for Shen Lian through the Yin Yang ingenious Dao.
Shen Lian said,
The reason why I take this out is to give it to founding master in the first place.

Ziling smiled while saying,
good to know that you have a little filial piety. Since Taishang Daoist sect’s token is already on your hand, could it be that Xuantian Sect’s token is also already with you?

Shen Lian said,
I sent Lu Shouyi to help me to go to Xuantian Sect. When he reached Tianmen Straits and before he even entered the Temple of Contentment, Wang Shidao already delivered a message to him, saying that on the ‘Bier Discourse of Dao’ day itself, there’d be someone from Xuantian Sect who will send the token over and he’d not cause any delay.




It seems like Xuantian Sect is still not as generous as Taishang Daoist sect,
Ziling said.

Because they’ve got no request. To be frank, all the issues in this place don’t affect Xuantian Sect at all. Even if Yanxu ruled the Yuan Continent, he may not dare to ambush Xuantian Sect’s mountain gate,
Shen Lian said.
Yanxu’s demonic power was very strong. Yuan Continent’s Qi cultivators seemed to be caught up in fire and water, they no longer had peace of mind like before. The Eight Sects of Buddhism stayed out of it, Xuantian Sect sealed its mountain gate, Taishang Daoist sect went away and it was difficult to find them whereas Tai Su Sect had mixed together with the Demonic Order. These insignificant Qi cultivators in this demonic trial could only put their last hope on Qing Xuan.
There were even people who made up a sentence these days and it was widely circulated among the Qi cultivators, ‘If Shen Qingxia doesn’t come out, what can the people do?’
