A divine light shined swiftly into the building where the elegant, emerald-dressed lady sat at the same spot she last sat. At the same time, there laid a man on the sandalwood floor beside her, whose skin was as tan as bronze that glimmered with golden-like luster and had a ferocious appearance.
Wei Ran seemed anxious, his voice quavered as he said,
Lord, did you leave to capture King Ahyu earlier?

Kui Li replied,
If I did not capture him, how do I find the Fruit of Desire? However, I am still unclear on how the fruit is formed, so I spared his life. Do you know the secret theory of nurturing this fruit here in Lingyan Pavilion?

Wei Ran steadied his nerves and said,
If a large part of the deity’s spiritual form remained in perfect condition as he dies, his divinity would be left behind. If coupled with some special conditions, it is highly likely that a Fruit of Desire can be produced. Even though this process is time-consuming, our pavilion has a secret theory that aids in a quicker formation of the fruit, I will now collect it for you.

Kui Li said,
Quickly, go get it.



Wei Ran stroked away a few droplets of sweat on his forehead, he then bowed and left.
At this moment, Kui Li looked towards Cultivator Jia and said,
What is your name?

Jia cultivator mentioned,
My name is Jia Zhen.

Kui Li’s nose quivered a little, she then mentioned,
Are you the descendant of that Shenxiao True Technique practitioner?

Jia Zhen said,
My ancestor is the cultivator of Shenxiao True Technique, Lord, you knew my ancestor?

Kui Li replied,
Of course I do, I have stayed in Qing Xuan for some time, however, it has been a hundred years since I’ve left. Is he still around?

Jia Zhen said,
My ancestor had levitated two hundred years ago.
As he thought about this, Jia Zhen was filled with a sudden sense of sadness, this was because his parents only gave birth to him at the age of two hundred years old. If his parents were unable to Hundan again, he might have to face the death of his parents very soon. Though his uncle treated him extremely well, it can never be replaced with the love from his father and mother.
As he pondered on this, Kui Li came to mind with her supernatural powers and technique, her association with her ancestors and how she still managed to remain so youthful. These facts led him to deliberate over the notion of immortality. He did not only desire to verify the possibility of immortality now, but he desired the immortal spiritual medicine to increase the lifespan of his parents.
Though his ancestor Jia Yili did not impart the Shenxiao True Technique to his family members because of some ground rules, Jia Yili was widely extolled as ‘Qing Xuan of the East, Thunder Technique at its prime’. Such appraisal was a derivation from the Shenxiao True Technique, termed as ‘Technique of Leiyuan Thunder’. Though this technique was slightly inferior, it was specialized in extracting the essence of lightning and thunder within the earth and sky that would nourish one’s physical form.
However, ever since this technique was founded, none of the Jia family members managed to learn this technique well. One of the tribe’s disciple once asked Jia Yili about this to which Jia Yili was unable to provide an explanation. Gradually, many people lost interest in practicing this technique and instead requested Jia Yili to discover other techniques. This situation continued throughout the generation of Jia Zhen’s parents and most of them had forgotten about this past too.


This was until twenty-three years ago when Jia Zhen was born. His parents were blessed with a child at an old age and they loved and cherished him. Coincidentally, they encountered writings that were left behind by Jia Yili. Those which were related to the Leiyuan Thunder Technique suggested that the person who is able to successfully acquire this technique would be ranked amongst Qing Xuan’s one hundred and eight laws of technique.
Jia Zhen’s parents were ecstatic. The writings they found on the Leiyuan Thunder Technique were very detailed and was also completely reinterpreted by Jia Yili before his demise making the writings to be perceived as being fully complete. His parents even brought it to Jia Zhen’s uncle for advice on the writings and it was highly praised. With that, Jia Zhen’s parents felt assured and allowed Jia Zhen to practice this technique.
However, due to limitations of resources in the Jia family, when Jia Zhen practiced the Leiyuan Technique, he was always hindered at the stage of trance. Never once had he break through this stage. His parents understood that it could not be rushed and instead, advised him to take a break and relax.
In actual fact, his parents were not aware that the essence of thunder and lighting was the most righteous essence in heaven. The Leiyuan Technique was one that extracted the essence of thunder and lighting. During the Qiaodong state, the essence was condensed to form the Qi of thunder, of which would be used as the mana within one’s physical form.
However, after the cultivation of Qi of thunder, there was a need to combine the Qi of thunder with spirit. Only then can the spirit leave in order to enter the state of ‘trance’. This was the only step, it was the simplest yet toughest step.
It was deemed to be difficult because Qi of thunder upheld the sense of righteousness of the earth and sky. It was intolerant of any form of evil will. As such, those who once cultivated this technique in the Jia family were also hindered at this particular stage. Though Jia Yili understood the reason for these failures, he could not mention it and it might cause disruption psychologically, making it even tougher to breakthrough this stage.
Fortunately, if anyone managed to cultivate this technique successfully, it would be indicated that this particular person was virtuous. To have such a prominent figure born in the Jia family was rather a comforting thought.
At the current moment, Jia Zhen had an unwavering determination to pursue immortality and to reciprocate his parents’ effort in nurturing him. This was the most righteous will in the world and on top of that, he had no other desires. At that very moment, both of these pure wills merged into the Qi of thunder, and bizarre changes were happening to him.
He heard a roaring sound of thunder and suddenly, the world he once saw had a brand new view. He looked towards Kui Li and vaguely saw a circular figure that looked like the scorching sun in a bright sky that pierced his eyes. With a sudden shock, his spirit immediately returned to his body.
Jia Zhen knew that he had unknowingly entered into the ‘trance’ state and according to his uncle, he would be able to go to Qing Xuan Celestial Mountain and meet Zhenren Shen.


He was extremely delighted, so much so that we wanted to jump for joy.
However, there was a soft melodious voice which rang in his ears. That voice was like having a pool of chilled water splashed all over him, ‘You are leaning so close to your Lord, are you seeking death?’
Jia Zhen was startled. He did not realize he had walked towards Kui Li and was only one foot away from her.
He feared of accidentally offending her. Though he broke through the state of ‘trance’ and became Huandan Zhenren, he was afraid that he was not capable to be her opponent.
At this very moment, Wei Ran returned and took out a jade scroll which contained the secret method. Kui Li scanned it with her spiritual consciousness and she understood it swiftly. She practiced a mana which fell upon the dying body of King Ahyu. Instantly, King Ahyu turned into a crystal clear fruit, astonishingly beautiful.
Kui Li nodded her head satisfactorily and said,
This secret method is indeed useful.

Wei Ran smiled and said,
As long as my Lord likes it. This box contains the six treasures that were collected by my men who I ordered to obtain it from the main department, along with the three remaining treasures found in this very building. I have placed them together in this box.

He took out a treasure box which was three foot long and opened it. In the box laid nine scarce and precious treasures, amongst the lot was a bunch of Zhima 1
  that seemed to be dozing off, yet it had an overwhelming spiritual aura.
Kui Li conveniently placed the Fruit of Desire into the box, covered it, created a seal made out of five-colored divine lights and then proceeded to conceal the box.
She said,
Jia Zhen, I, Lord of Mount Chui Ping hand you this present, when you have reached the mountain, pass it to Shen Lian. Do tell him that I have another task yet to be completed so I will not be attending Buddha’s Birthday Celebration he’ll be hosting.



The thought that Kui Li’s present was prepared for Zhenren Shen never once crossed Jia Zhen’s mind. What was more surprising was that Kui Li entrusted him with the task to pass it to Zhenren Shen.
He spoke rather slowly and said,
I am afraid that I might lose this present along the way, or have it snatched by others.

Kui Li replied confidently,
In this treasure box lay my five colored divine lights and in the whole world, there are only a few people who are able to open it. Even if there was such a heedless person who dared to take it away from me, would he not be afraid of me murdering all of his family members?

Wei Ran, on the other hand, admired Jia Zhen for having such luck, only a mighty figure like Demon Lord Kui Li would not prioritize these scarce treasures. Hence, being able to voice out such brutal words with utter confidence.
Moreover, if the people knew that these treasures were presents for Zhenren Shen, no one would dare to steal it. Given that celestials or Buddhas all had the ability to predict and calculate future events, they would not be foolish enough to take such advantages.
After Kui Li finished speaking, she vanished into the air and left once again. Her actions were naturally graceful, Wei Ran and Jia Zhen watched her with admiration. Although Demon Lord Kui Li was rather ferocious, it was undeniable that her existence was compatible with celestials and Buddhas.
Wei Ran also did not let Jia Zhen embark on his journey with the treasures alone, he had ordered guards to protect Jia Zhen. Through the use of telepathy formation, they promptly arrived at a seaside that was near Qing Xuan.
When Jia Zhen reached the destination, he was much more composed. He went to find his uncle to firstly inform him about this matter.
His uncle made him rest for the night and advised him to visit Zhenren Shen when he would be more refreshed the next day. That night, Jia Zhen was rather excited. He tossed and turned throughout the night reflecting on how he once thought that he would not have the opportunity to meet the widely-acclaimed legend, Zhenren Shen. Who knew that he was blessed with such an opportunity. This time, not only did he manage to break through the stage of ‘trance’, but he even had the chance to be met Zhenren Shen very soon.
Bright and early the next morning, he headed for Taiyi Peak accompanied by his uncle. As he proceeded further into the misty depths, he saw two young Daoist battling one another, each equipped with white and black chess pieces respectively.


His uncle was extremely mannered and respectful, then asked him to kneel and he said,
Founding master, headmaster, this is my nephew – Jia Zhen.

One of the younger Daoist had a dot of red cinnabar between his eyebrows. It glimmered as the moon did, and he was undeniably, Shen Lian. He looked at Jia Zhen, nodded slightly and smiled as he said,
This is one good young lad, belonging to the lineage of Shenxiao True Technique. It seems like a worthy descendant really exists.
