Chapter 264: Broke In Alone

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At that moment, a net wrapped around her and Yang Miaoyun. When she was struggling, a sword ray was in front of her forehead. The coldness prevented her from using any of her mana.

She looked at Yang Miaoyun. She could feel that she was being apologetic but at the same time, she was angry. She felt empathetic towards Shen Lian, but Shen Lian never trusted her.

Shen Lian treated her as equal and restrained her too.

The sword ray was constantly at Liusu’s acupoint in between her brows. Another inch closer, her spirit could be damaged.

Liusu spoke with hatred, “What do you want to do?”

“Tell me the reason why you took Ruoxi,” Shen Lian spoke softly and it got colder. The fume around was almost frozen.

Liusu said, “For your position, it seems too much for you to treat me like this. If you like to know, you can ask directly at Taisu Palace. Ruoxi is also there.”

She did not stop laughing and she was challenging him.

Shen Lian said calmly, “I will go, but you better tell me why you took her.”

Liusu said nothing but she still carried the smug on her face.

As the sword ray moved, her arm was gone in a sudden. The ice froze her cut and hence there was not even a drop of blood. Liusu did not even feel pain, but it became realistic when she saw her arm in the net.

Though there was no pain, she was afraid. There was not even ripple in Shen Lian’s eyes. They were as quiet as the depth of the trench. She did not expect Shen Lian to do that, as it was still within Taisu Sect. He should know that Qing Xuan was not in the best state. It was not the right thing to offend Taisu, which would definitely bring trouble to Qing Xuan during the Bier Discourse of Dao.

Was he nuts?

Shen Lian just looked at her quietly. The fear spread once it’s born. In the past, she thought she was hardworking when she cultivated his Qi as she always entered into a deep stage. She had the tendency to not be disturbed by external turbulence, but it was only now then she felt how weak her heart was. Stripping off her cultivation experience, she was nothing more than a commoner.

If it was not the incarnation of Shen Lian but him himself, he needed not to go through the trouble. He could have just taken her soul to get the answer he wanted.

Liusu’s mental defense had come crumbling down, along with Yang Miaoyun who was in the net. She did not expect how cruel Shen Lian even though he looked gentle. It was a shame that she was empathetic towards him. She forgot that when Liusu was attacking her, Shen Lian stood up the first moment.

Ultimately speaking, Shen Lian still did not do anything to her.

“Say it.” The simple command beat Liusu’s heart hard like a hammer was knocking into it.

She finally said, “Your niece is the reincarnation of Yuan Jun, and it is a rare occurrence every thousand years. Even in our Taisu Sect, it is extremely rare. Without special reasons, even people of my rank would not know about it. You can understand it as she is the reincarnation of celestials. When she came to the earth, she was not supposed to be seeking immortality but to experience trial. For her to be in Taisu is fated, but the Hall Master didn’t teach her Dadong Scripture, instead she was taught with the Synchronized Heart Mantra of Taisu.”

Shen Lian knew the status of Dadong Scripture in Taisu Sect – it was like Taixu Strategy to Qing Xuan. It might not be as powerful as Taixu Strategy, but it was a direct path to immortality. It was not abnormal for Ruoxi to practice under Taisu Sect’s top technique, but what was the Synchronized Heart Mantra of Taisu?

Shen Lian said, “Why don’t you tell me what’s the Synchronized Heart Mantra of Taisu?”

“It is a method of spiritual enhancement. Once you start, it is impossible to stop else there will be infinite suffering. The technique with start with planting the divine aura of the predecessor in the core of the spirit and mind of the future successor. They will then grow together until the cultivator is replaced by the passer. Hence why it’s ‘synchronized heart’,” Liusu said, she felt that she was relieved of the burden.

She had hidden this secret for a long time. If it was not because the three of them were a part of the Hall Master’s plotting, she would not have known it.

Shen Lian’s heart was filled with an incredible anger. He always thought of himself as someone calm, but this time around he could not calm himself down. It was partly due to Ruwang, but there were also elements of self-blame and pity.

To him, there was no difference between Ruxu and Powang, but he did not feel any happiness. He only felt an uncontrollable anger.

Eventually, he suppressed his anger and asked, “Where’s Ruoxi?”

“She’s always following the Hall Master.” Since she had said it, she did not bother with hiding anymore.

Shen Lian tore the net into two. Yang Miaoyun was transferred to the cliff previously with his mana. He then brought Yang Miaoyun to the palace on top of the mountain. There was only one entrance at Taisu Palace. The cloud and smoke around flew by with skylights, further painting the picture of a celestial house. However, regardless of how close the door was, he could not reach there.

“How can I open the restriction of the entrance?” Shen Lian asked.

This time round Liusu did not even resist. She just told him the method.

Shen Lian followed the method and went a step forward with her as if she just went through a mystic block. They both landed on the pure white stone pavement. The palace door was right in front. The word ‘Taisu’ represented externality and it was written with dragon phoenix seal scripture.

The board of the palace door already beat the quality of a lot of the top equipment in the world.

He focused his sight, and then he saw a purple-clothed female Daoist in front. Her face looked like the flower in spring and the moon in autumn. She was out of this world. As she walked towards them slowly, she was one of the three that took Ruoxi last time.

She was holding a scroll, and as she saw Shen Lian, who was holding Liusu hostage, she was slightly surprised but then she immediately releases the scroll.

Within a second, the scroll encompassed the surrounding. A purple fume rushed towards Shen LIan. He reacted accordingly, with one hand he produced wind and thunder, which destroyed the fume. At the same time, some water grabbed Liusu away.

Shen Lian did not stop it. He just observed the surrounding quietly.

All around him was water and purple fume. The flow of water was a melodious rhythm that flowed into one’s heart as something joyful.

In reality, it was no different from a rhythm that could take one’s lives.

The purple-clothed female Daoist was Ziyue. She spoke with her melodious voice, “This is Purple Fume Green River Formation, don’t expect that you can get away from it.”

She was usually composed, but as she saw Liusu’s arm was cut off, she could not help but feel angry. She also did not recognize Shen Lian at that moment. Furthermore, the restriction on Liusu was tricky and she could not break it.

The Purple Fume Green River Formation activated quickly and then contained him. It was indeed powerful but he was not afraid. Even though the mana of the incarnation was being used, the formation was something dead. Even if it had a huge power, he was not afraid.

His Interpromotion and Interrestraint state still existed and hence he could tell the weakness of the formation at one sight. It was not exactly the weakness but the core of the spiritual opportunity. It was protected by a thick mist of purple fume and one could say it was the strongest point of the formation.

The purple fume could eat up mana and the water could melt flesh. The sound of the flowing water could take your soul.

A mere Purple Fume and Green River Formation attacked from three aspects, essence, Qi, and spirit. It too revealed that the formation creator paid close attention to detail.

Shen Lian’s sword will shine and forced the purple fume to retreat and to not fall into the water light. He threw out ten plus thunder talismans and the thunder was so powerful that it shook the whole formation. The purple fume and water which were in the way had a collision with the thunder.

Initially, the purple fume and water subsided and rose like waves, but as Shen Lian simply used up his thunder talismans, he was attacking all the way and hence was unstoppable.

These thunder talismans were made of precious materials. With these many being used, even big cultivators at the stage of Powang could not take it, but as Shen Lian had exchanged a lot of them with Ice Light during the celestial market of Xuantong Demon King, he was not stingy using it.

One-off perishables were supposed to be used anyway. If not because it was just an object, it would not be useful in a battle with other cultivators of the same level.

After Ziyue spoke a sentence when she contained Shen Lian in the formation chart, she felt it vibrating. A thunder explored and the formation chart fell on her hand. The purple fume and green river on it had faded. It seemed to have suffered severe damage.

Shen Lian’s Daoist robe wavered. He stood proudly in front of the palace as if he was being condescending. It made Ziyue feel the chill.

He laughed coldly and said, “Taisu Hall Master, can we meet?”

Until this point, the only thing he could do was to use rock against rock. He was willing to let go of the incarnation and even if his divine thoughts were to be burnt, he needed to break in.

“You’re brave. Come in.” A soft as oriole voice was heard from the depth of the palace.

Unknowingly there were up to hundred female cultivators outside the door of the palace dressed in three different colors – purple, yellow and white. Each of them was holding an equipment and surrounding Shen Lian.

Until Fairy Tianmeng spoke, these people then formed a path for him.

One of the female Daoist in yellow stood out from the crowd and said, “Please.”

Shen Lian followed the female Daoist in yellow with composure. He was not stunned by any of these.

It was more of a shock to the female cultivators when he broke through Purple Fume and Green River Formation. Since they entered the sect, they had not met anyone who dared to break into the palace.

There was a green mountain behind Taisu Palace which was floating in the sky. There was an abode of immortals inside. It was dark. Suddenly someone said, “Tianmeng seems to be in huge trouble.”

“Let’s not be bothered with this. I still owe his Senior Apprentice-Sister a favor,” another voice spoke.

“Hmph, Second Senior Apprentice-Sister, if it’s not Tianmeng’s fault this time, I will definitely teach him a lesson without considering about you,” the third voice spoke.

The three voices were all of the females.

The first voice said, “The reincarnation of Yuan Jun is here to experience the trial. The remaining should just be following the flow. It has been pretty dead for the past thousand years. It’s time for a refreshing change.”

“Eldest Senior Apprentice-Sister, what you said is so true,” Second Apprentice-Sister laughed softly.

After a soft hum, the place went back to silence.

Shen Lian did not know about it. Now, he had followed female Daoist in yellow to an attic. There was a gaze that fell on him from the attic.
