The ghost mask commander was killed by Ye Liuyun face to face and the rest of the demon army and Generals had no room to fight back anymore. Furthermore, the principle of the law of the jungle applies to anywhere. The only difference lied in knowing when to execute it or not.
Following the next many days, Ye Liuyun brought many of the demon army campgrounds under control. In the beginning, there was still some resistance and then later many of the campgrounds got the news of a young man in robes as white as snow, who rode on a scarlet throne, had already either imputed or prevailed against many commanders.
The experienced commander already figured out the supernatural power that Ye Liuyun cultivates and practice. It was the Dao of Avici, the highest stage of the supernatural power that even the Daoist Wujian could not successfully cultivate. It was said that this supernatural power that was recorded in the long-lost Nether Aid Scripture of the Huangquan Demon Sect.
It was the comprehension of the first generation Huangquan Demon Sect master had when the master accidentally found a Killing Sword and penetrated through the stars and the mortal world with it. Hundreds of millions of living beings that hid in the Milky Way was annihilated and the master reached this comprehension after getting its spirit.
This supernatural power was one of the definite. It meant every Huangquan Demon Sect master would have it. Back then, Daoist Wujian had the previous sect master to pass this supernatural power to him. Unfortunately, even with his abundant talent, he could not cultivate the Dao of Avici and even could not get the Nether Aid Scripture. That was why when the sect master vanished afterward, with the Daoist Wujian mana as the head of the three main paths, he still could not become the new sect master.
Shen Lian, of course, was not clear that Ye Liuyun had appeared at the faraway Huangquan Demon Sect and that Ye Liuyun had the greatest supernatural power.
Shen Lian who had his gaze on the blue sky and white skies quietly asked,
Senior Apprentice-Sister, how is the condition of the founding master’s injuries?

Gu Caiwen appeared on a protruding rock not far away. Today, she was clad in a pale yellow dress, her long cuffs floating in the air, as though it could blend into the breeze of the wind but with reasons unknown, still remained station there and not bear to leave.
The Qi of Vitality of the universe surrounded her very closely and within this closeness was a faint distance. It was Gu Caiwei that was putting that distance. Shen Lian already understood Dan Dao and Yuanman but Gu Caiwei had still no clue.
There was still a shapeless barrier between the universe and her that had never been punctured.
The biggest advantage Shen Lian has over Gu Caiwen was his spirit. The Mastery of Senses had gifted Shen Lian with a powerful spirit which was advantages for him when understanding the path of the universe.
This gentle and captivating lady was not disheartened nor depressed because of not being able to breakthrough. Furthermore, even though she was not as stunning as Zhao Xiaoyu but the more one looked at her, the more one would feel that she had an unspeakable beauty.
She had stopped at Ruhua longer than Chen Jianmei had, however, the years had not left a mark on her earlock, forehead or other places.
Gu Caiwei fixed her eyes on Shen Lian. This junior apprentice-brother that she had given directions to have now became the chief of Qing Xuan. Somehow, he was indistinguishable from Zhang Ruoxu of the past, giving off the abstruse feeling that every matter and being was within his expectation.
She replied,
How did you know that the founding master was injured?

She originally wanted to tell Shen Lian about this matter because, for the past few days, she was the only one who could meet Qing Xiao, or rather, Ziling Fairy. Ziling Fairy had achieved immortality twice, an extremely rare feat in the cultivation world. There should have been a celebration about this but unfortunately, once she had strongly supported Shen Lian taking the position of the chief as soon as she returned, she immediately went into solitary retreat. The masses thought she wanted to practice some kind of occult technique urgently but they would never have guessed that a figure like her would be heavily wounded.
This was because it was too difficult to hurt the kind of person that she was.
Shen Lian answered,
I too cultivate the Taixu Strategy. That day in the Qing Xuan Hall, I already noticed that founding master’s breath was unstable. Furthermore, she displayed the swordcraft, One Sword To Break The Void, for the chief and sent him back to reincarnation. The swordcraft is indeed formidable but I found out the details of this swordcraft later from the Tiandi Jian and found out that the One Sword To Break The Void was somehow strained and its might was not enough. With her strength from the Dixian rank, there should not have any strain so it was definitely because of other reason. The biggest possibility was that she is seriously wounded where she could not exert much with only ten percent of her capability.

Gu Caiwei nodded and said,
Uncle-Master truly has an eye for people. You having such careful thoughts would definitely allow Qing Xuan to rise once again. But this matter should be kept secret. After all, now is such a precarious moment.

Shen Lian said,
Senior apprentice-sister, we do not need to cover anything and just go on with how we should. Back then before the founding master confirmed her immortality, we came by just like this, did we not? Not only that, since that person could injure the founding master, should we count on that person to keep it a secret? I am, however, very curious. Which of the five seniors from Guangqing did this?

As to whether there were other connoisseurs, Shen Lian did not even need to think about it. There was no one who would strike against an immortal Zhenren for no reason since they could not kill them after all and might sow rancor with them. Only now the most possible to not be scruple about all these were the five immortal Zhenren from Guangqing, after all, the circumstances between the enemy and the sect were pretty clear.
Gu Caiwei kept quiet for a while and then said,
The one who did this was Daoist Dengfeng. The founding master was hit by his Taiyue Real Shape Incantation and her injuries are quite severe. It would take at least up to ten years to recover. I came here to tell you that the founding master has entered the deepest stage of the Taixu State. Before she leaves the solitary retreat, we cannot wake her anymore.

The Taixu State was a special state of the Taixu Strategy. Only those who have attained immortality can try to enter this state. After entering this state, they can travel through Taixu and experience and observe this state.
With the abstruse of the Dao to help oneself, one can then break free of their reliance of the universe and become a new universe by themselves. When done to the extreme, besides learning about the Boundless Universe, the kinds of energy of the abstruse world were not only limited to the control of the Qi of Vitality.
However, it was clear that Ziling Fairy needed to absorb the energy from the Taixu State to aid her recovery.
Shen Lian sighed and said quietly,
It is said that amongst the five Dixian of Guangqing, Daoist Dengfeng is not the one with the highest mana or the biggest supernatural power.

With this said, Gu Caiwei could not help but felt her heart sink. Since when did these seniors and teacher-elders would ever predict that the Qing Xuan Sect would have fallen to this state.
While she was lost in thought, Shen Lian had already descended from Taiyi Peak. The place he was going was the Zifu Peak where the Taiwei Pavilion is.
This was the first time Shen Lian entered the Taiwei Pavilion after taking over as the chief.
Shen Lian did not fly into the pavilion using the wing but he walked, step by step, up Zifu Peak. There was some delightfulness with riding in the wind through the skies. However, there was no need to experience it every time. Occasionally, by walking on the solid ground, the soul could feel the heaviness from the ground.
The movement of heaven was full of power, thus the superior man makes himself strong and untiring. The earth’s condition was receptive devotion, thus the superior man who had a breadth of character carries the outer world. 1

And now not only he should make himself strong and untiring but should have the heart to bear such burden. This was the state that he had never before in his previous life, Shen Lian did not find it difficult but he would take it as an interesting challenged in his long life.
The Taiwei Pavilion stood quietly and alone as though it was out of this world, and as though it had melted amongst the Zifu Peak, giving out the unknown charm.
