The High Priest did not expect Shen Lian to attack as he liked but he was also well prepared as he chose the venue to meet Shen Lian.
This small world had taken the shape of evolution and even contained certain laws that the High Priest could control.
The ‘law’ here referred to the order of natural phenomena such as the rising of the sun from the east and the flow of river water from high to low.
The High Priest held his fist tightly as his eyes sparkled. The body of the Black Dragon became delicate and light as the High Priest’s breath continued to rise while the mana increased.
The sky, earth, mountain, swamp, water, fire, wind, and lightning stimulated by Shen Lian’s Primordial Spirit gradually subsided. The small world released a strong repressive force that charged at Shen Lian from all directions.


That felt like deja-vu for Shen Lian. It was somewhat similar to the time where Zhao Xiaoyu used a square divine soil to propagate a space and used it to confine the Empress. However, it was different in a way that this small world was thousands of times stronger than the divine soil and the powers of the governing laws were like sturdy ropes that bound Shen Lian’s Primordial Spirit.
He clearly felt the laws came surging at him and these laws had the fundamentals of Dao. It felt like that time when he combined with the Lingbao Tianzun to intercept a part of Dao. It was just that this experience was more intensified.
But that did not mean that Lingbao Tianzun was not as strong as Si Wenming. It was just that the process came by more naturally and not intentionally.
 
Besides, the Dao in this tiny world had combined with the laws of the heaven and earth to become the proof of the cultivation experience of Si Wenming.
Shen Lian was ecstatic. In a couple of years, he would be dealing with an almighty existence who witnessed the birth of Taiyi. He did not know what he would have gained in the meantime but for now, he needed to first deal with what was in front of him.
As the laws increasingly bound on to the Primordial Spirit, and it was excruciating for Shen Lian. He then realized that the power of the Primordial Spirit was counteracting with the powers of the law.
Even if he walked out victorious, part of his Primordial Spirit would still be damaged and he would not be a threat to Xia Kingdom for a long period of time.
 
The bronze mask worn by the High Priest turned into ashes and a flawlessly beautiful face was revealed.


Shen Lian had seen much unrivaled beauties but none of them could surpass the beauty of the High Priest. His facial features were almost perfect and he was more beautiful than any other girl.
Shen Lian was already considered a handsome person but the High Priest was good-looking on a different level.

With such a face, it is no wonder that he has to put on a bronze mask.
Shen Lian may be in danger but it still did not stop him from having such leisurely thoughts. In fact, he was laughing inside as he thought about how even men would fall in love with such a beautiful face.
Although his train of thoughts was running, his hands were skillfully in command as he ignited a ray of five colored divine lights.
The creations of the world could never derail from the Five Elements of Yin and Yang. If Si Wenming was present, Shen Lian would admit defeat. But he knew that he would never be defeated by the laws that were left behind.
Shen Lian then activated the origins of the Five Elements of the Primordial Spirit. This was his real method, and it would also allow his opponent to see his roots.
The High Priest was moved. The five colored divine lights were irresistible. Shen Lian tapped it lightly and a big hole appeared at the tight net.
The hole was not real, but a thought that flashed through his mind.
He blurted out,
You are a peacock.

The High Priest felt odd after Shen Lian made the comment. Shen Lian’s five colored divine light was similar to what he had heard about. But legend had it that the five colored divine lights would mercilessly sweep through every single thing. A Daoist master once was swept by the five colored divine lights and that definitely did not end well.


 
Shen Lian’s five colored divine lights may have attained the origins of the five elements but it was not as strong as the one stated in the legend.
The hole was sealed back very swiftly thanks to the forces of this small world.
Shen Lian was not surprised by it. After all, it was the laws that were left behind by a person who was the level of Taiyi. If he could easily destroy it, he would have been Taiyi then.
Shen Lian took a step forward. His face paled and his gaze dimmed. This step forward was filled with complicated feelings. It was like the movements of the stars in the sky, the stars were moving but it was hard to see it with the naked eye.
The High Priest recognized the steps as the Dao of the Stars but it was not just that. He was shocked and wondered about Shen Lian’s background. Within a couple of breaths, Shen Lian was able to display several advanced methods of the universe.
The High Priest was not fearful and was more than welcome to take on the challenge. He took a step forward, it felt like a step that would take him to the unknown void, far far away.
At the same time, the High Priest was like a snake that was shedding its skin. He shed off the dead skin to reveal a new body.
The dimmed vitality became stronger. He started chanting some mysterious syllabus as if an unknown greater existence had heard his call and came to him.
 


Stepping on the Black Dragon, a phantom structure of a snake tangled him.
The water of the Dragon Pond started to surge and formed a huge waterfall.
The inexhaustible black water turned into terrifying power and charged towards Shen Lian.
Shen Lian was busy tapping on the net. As he destroyed one, another one would be formed. He only looked up when the waterfall charged towards him.
What was more terrifying than the waterfall was the breath of the High Priest. The ancient powerful aura shook Shen Lian’s core.
 
At this very stage, his state of mind was stronger than gold and iron. It was almost impossible to shake his heart of Dao.
Although Shen Lian could control water with the Taixu Strategy, his Primordial Spirit was invaded by the waterfalls and was drowned under the water. He had no chance at all to take control of the waterfall.
It was as if that mysterious greater existence was the true master of all waters. He was beyond anything that had the water element and Shen Lian’s origins of the Five Elements were not excluded.
That was the embodiment of the ultimate cultivation of the Dao of water.


It was refreshing for Shen Lian to witness such an extreme state of cultivation that had once taken on an alternative path and then eventually returned to the right path.
 
Shen Lian had encountered many dangerous situations in his life. Even if he was forced to the lowerhand by the High Priest’s Spirit Rapping Method, he was still able to stay composed.
He was able to calm down his emotions within a split second.
Suddenly, Shen Lian did pull a really odd movement. He leaned his head forward and twisted his body. Like a human drill, he generated a powerful vortex force.
 
Soon enough, the Primordial Spirit too swirled along and formed a crystal-like layer of protective clothing.
It was one of the ancient thirty-six heavenly transformations, the ‘Creation and Evolution’.
The laws were part of the creation. At that very moment, Shen Lian actually resorted to using a long-lost ancient supernatural power.
 
Shen Lian let out a sneer as a hint of demonic spirit descended on his heart of Dao.
