The disciples of Taisu Sect thought Shen Lian looked young and weak. However, this was the same person who escaped the combined attacks of the three Chamber Masters through a wave of his illusionary Milky Way. After forming the Mark of Mountains and Rivers, his aura started to spike to its pinnacle; it was as though the demonic god himself had fallen into this world.
The Mark of Mountains and Rivers soared towards the sky and split the divine light from Fairy Tianmeng’s Palm of Triple Yin into half. The amazing Qi strength capable of swallowing up the mountains and rivers swept across almost everything.
The Qi of heaven and earth started brewing and was reaching its boiling point. The killing vibes filled the air, and the unsettling sound of explosion spread outwards. The sound wave was extremely terrifying, and a few disciples of the Taisu Sect who had a low level of cultivation had fainted.
Right at this moment, Ruoxi woke up. There was confusion on her cute little face. However, when she realized that she was looking at Shen Lian, she was felt happy and yet was lost.

Ruoxi, I will bring you home,
Shen Lian sighed.
Shen Lian had always lacked in fearlessness, and it was only now that he understood why the old Daoist at Taiwei Pavilion showed him the dream of a caterpillar that never breaks through the cocoon and failed to turn into a butterfly. Of course, the old Daoist was trying to speed up his awakening; though, he was unable to truly break through his cocoon.
Now that he was in the state of Powang, he finally noticed all of the whims that he was caught in. He realized that these were not merely passing clouds and smoke that was not worth mentioning. Instead, he was constantly surrounded by them. What he thought was right might be wrong; he thought that his heart was still as water, and yet there was a sense of high pursuits within him that had not been expressed yet.
He came to Taisu Sect to rescue Ruoxi, and at the same time, he wanted to throw himself into a true trial. Under the extreme pressure, he wanted to see if he could feel the edge of Celestialism and to feel the path of immortality.
This was not the proper way of training. It would only take one miscalculation for him to be trapped in the treacherous inescapable abyss. What he was doing now was unlike him.
However, he was short on time. If he could not attain Dao in a speedy manner, he would not be able to deal with the pressure that followed.
This was the same reason why Chen Jianmei refused to return to the mountains. He wanted to see speedy improvement by pitting his swordcraft against the world.
If any one of them managed to attain Dao, the difficulty faced by Qing Xuan would be eased slightly. Only then, Qing Xuan would be able to shake off the label of a declining sect.
All of the sneaky tactics and efforts would be futile when faced with absolute power.
Moreover, he had always been worried about the five immortal Zhenrens of Guangqing. However, Daoist Dengfeng was the only one who actually plotted something against Qing Xuan. Besides their intention to be part of the four main Daoist sects, it was unclear what else did they have in mind.
All these shrouded over Shen Lian’s heart like an inerasable shadow. He felt as though he was walking on wire. To be honest, even after taking care of Huang Longzi, he was still in a disadvantageous position. For reasons unknown, Guangqing had not retaliated yet.
Shen Lian was troubled by these emotions. All of the pressure that he had been shouldering was released in the manner of ‘Qi that swallowed mountains and rivers’.
The actual clash was not ending anytime soon. Fairy Tianmeng noticed that Shen Lian’s Qi dynamic was akin to that of a Celestial, and she was surprised by the fact that he managed to overcome her Palm of Triple Yin. However, it was impossible for Shen Lian to take someone like her out merely by mimicking the Qi dynamic of an immortal Zhenren.
A black pipa with silver strings appeared in her hands and she started plucking the strings. The moment she started playing on the pipa, a fierce beast was birthed. This was the ‘Tianyin Transformation’ of the Taisu Sect. It could turn a sound wave into fierce beasts of the wild and was a miraculous supernatural power.
Ever since Fairy Tianmeng became the Hall Master, she had never used it against an enemy.
The melody was soothing, and the murderous intent filled the air. There were ripples in the air, as though it was stirred by the sound wave. The fierce beast leaped over and Ruoxi was shivering. She did not understand why her Master was acting like that.
Shen Lian’s gaze was cold, and sword gleam manifested out of his eyes. The Deity Vanquishing Sword was unleashed without mercy. This strength of this technique depended on the user’s spirit, the stronger the user’s spirit was, the stronger the technique would be. Despite that, the usage would be detrimental to both the user and the opponent, but Shen Lian did not have time to think about that now.
The two beam of sword gleam killed the beast instantly, and Fairy Tianmeng’s spiritual consciousness within it was wiped out as well. The control of the spiritual consciousness was at the core of this technique, without which, the Tianyin Transformation would crumble instantly.
Both of them exchanged several moves. Within moments, they had used frightening techniques against each other without hesitation.
If it was not for the fact that Shen Lian was carrying Ruoxi, Fairy Tianmeng would have utilized all of the secret techniques she had at her disposal. Even if she had to lose ten over years of mana, she would have taken Shen Lian down just to blow off some steam.
The pretty young man who stood before her, he bore a striking similarity to the man from two hundred years ago.
Her hatred was so intense that she almost lost control of herself.
Shen Lian regained calmness after his expression. He latched onto the opening in Fairy Tianmeng’s heart that was not supposed to be there. He had a sixty percent chance of utilizing this opening to take Fairy Tianmeng down. He planned to magnify the opening and eventually obtain victory against her.
However, he was in the lion’s den now. There were three experts standing next to him and were waiting for their chance to pound on him. He had no chance to utilize the opening.
The three Chamber Masters of Zisu, Huangsu, Baisu had joined their Qi dynamic. There were three High Clouds – purple cloud, yellow cloud, and white cloud hovering above their heads respectively. The clouds showed signs of merging.
The Qi dynamic was overpowering, and it threatened to crumble Shen Lian into powder.
Shen Lian made a decisive move. He covered Ruoxi’s eyes and his entire body started shivering.
He utilized the rest of his Ice Light and his aura changed completely. His face was frosty, and the air in front of him was frozen. He emitted scary killing vibes, and he was just on the other side of his founding master, Fairy Ziling – Qing Xiao.
His piercing aura seemed as though it was ready to break the world into half. It was so sharp and piercing that the moment it was unsheathed, everything in the world would be sliced apart.
Taixu Strategy contained the Dao of Yin-Yang and Five Elements. Fairy Ziling had taken after Yin and Yang, which was why at the pinnacle of her cultivation, her nature was divided into half as Yin side and Yang side.
The Dao of Yin Yang intertwined with the Dao of the world; it was abstruse and was an endless path.
However, it was impossible to ensure that one stuck to one’s nature. If Shen Lian were to do as Ziling, it was likely that he would have a split personality as well. He might not even be able to master the Yin side and the Yang side of the Taixu divine Qi and ended up bring trouble upon himself.
At this moment, he took advantage of the Ice Light and mimicked the Qing Xiao’s killing vibes. With Qing Xiao’s absolute killing vibes, he wanted to break through before the three Chamber Masters managed to join their forces.
Otherwise, when these three managed to join their High Clouds as one, he would be constantly subjected to it. Even if he decided to escape then, the Qi dynamic would trail after him like his own shadow. If he was unfortunate, he would receive an impact from the bond of the Qi dynamic and would have no chance of escaping forever.
The frost took over and the area within a thousand feet turned into an ice field. Instead of defending, Shen Lian chose to advance. He raised his sword and charged at the three Chamber Masters.
