Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Old Daoist was Qing Xuan’s biggest support. Whether one wanted to admit it or not, at least when Fairy Ziling had not yet fully recovered, and when Shen Lian had not attained Dao and immortality, he played an important role.

Of course, the majority of Qing Xuan disciples did not know about this and they were not really clear about who the old Daoist in Taiwei Pavilion was.

Yan Bugui was not one of the majority of the disciples. In Shen Lian’s generation of Qing Xuan, Yan Bugui was already considered as one of the seniors.

He chuckled forcefully and said, “How is it possible. When I entered the school, Grand Ancestor Master has no difference compared to now. Since he’d survived through so many years, I think there shouldn’t be any problem.”

Although Yan Bugui responded with this, he was unsure about it. Then it was accompanied by a long silence.

He also kept quiet, the clock slowly ticked away. In fact, the night fell quickly.

When Yan Bugui came back to himself and realized that Shen Lian was already sitting on the rock that was about to turn into a creature, he laughed with disbelief. Shen Lian’s spiritual influence could actually make him inattentive for so long. Although it could be that he never tried to take any precaution, it still feared him on the inside.

At the same time, he was relieved because Shen Lian’s scariness and power were exactly what Qing Xuan needed at this moment.

He walked to the front towards Shen Lian. He started to feel more relaxed and so he sat by Shen Lian’s side.

He realized that Shen Lian was looking at the stars in the sky. Right now Taiwei, and Ziwei were especially dazzling.

Yan Bugui felt like drinking, thus he took out his liquor-filled Chinese gourd and passed to Shen Lian first. Shen Lian took the liquor over and suddenly said, “Do you know that the stars in the sky look like they are very close to each other but in actual fact the distance between any two stars, even with our cultivation experience, it would probably take hundreds of years for us to travel from this star to another star.”

Yan Bugui said, “How does Headmaster know about this? Could it be that you have read it from any remaining Daoist scriptures?”

Shen Lian smiled and responded, “I saw it from a high school textbook.”

Yan Bugui was shocked and said, “What kind of ancient text is a high school textbook?” All along he seldom read, he even disliked going to Taiwei Pavilion. Thus he only had limited knowledge. But a high school textbook, it was the first time he had heard of such a term.

Shen Lian said, “It is not an ancient text, it is just a book that I have read before in the past. Actually, I have always been thinking, if there is this one day when I finally have enough cultivation experience, I would definitely try to fly up to the Nine Heaven above, sail across the sky of stars and take a good look at it.”

Yan Bugui murmured, “I’m afraid that Headmaster can only do it when you have transcended beyond the mortal world. Hopefully, by then, I am able to see it.”

Upon completing his sentence, he saw a sword gleam suddenly come piercing towards him. Words could not describe the sword gleam’s radiance. It was so majestic and powerful that it stimulated the path between heaven and earth and aroused spirit’s astonishment.

At that instant, there was definitely nobody who could avoid the sword. When it came close, the tip of the sword tossed and a shadow appeared in the virtual space that was cruelly pierced through by the tip of the sword.

The shadow shattered into pieces and left no traces behind as though it did not appear before.

Yan Bugui noticed Shen Lian picked up the liquor-filled Chinese gourd and gobbled down the liquor. His Daoist robe could not contain his boldness and at the same time there was a wooden sword beside him that was in with greenish yellow jade color. Just now the sword gleam was also exhibited by the sword.

Moments later, Shen Lian returned the liquor-filled Chinese gourd to Yan Bugui and sighed softly, “Have you seen the shadow just now?”

Yan Bugui murmured, “Come and go without a trace, that should be the Sky Demon.”

Shen Lian said, “You’re right.”

“Where did this Sky Demon come from? Could it be Yanxu, who secretly came back?” Yan Bugui spoked with slight fear. Although he did not confront Yanxu before, his Master, the Drunken Daoist had fought with Yanxu once. He still remembered the Drunken Daoist told him before about Yanxu and he actually looked frightened. That was the first time he saw that his Master, the Drunken Daoist was not behaving himself well.

Shen Lian shook his head and said, “It is not. Zifu Peak always has the existence of Qi of Sky Demon, just that it was almost negligible. But now I am about to enter into Powang and bier is concealed, hence the deluded thoughts in me were influenced by the Qi of Sky Demon and turn into Sky Demon.”

Yan Bugui replied with shock, “How does Zifu Peak even have Qi of Sky Demon?”

In Yan Bugui’s perspective, even if Qi of Sky Demon appeared in Taiyi Peak, it would be more reasonable than it appearing in Zifu Peak. This was because the inherited ancient books and records in Taiwei Pavilion had Qing Xuan’s fate protection. Moreover, there were too many immortal Zhenrens who used to live on this peak, their spirits should still be present. On top of it, there was also Qing Xuan’s Daoist Masters’ traces of rhythms. This was definitely a natural exorcism place. Not forgetting to mention that the old Daoist had spent such a long period of his life in Taiwei Pavilion.

Shen Lian said, “This is also one of the reasons why I keep staying in Zifu Peak these few days. If it is not because I coincidentally am at the stage of breaking through Powang, it would be difficult to notice this even if I have become immortal.”

As his bier’s nature was concealed, thus the deluded thoughts would sometimes naturally be revealed. Moreover, his deluded thoughts about getting closer to breaking away from whims cultivating level, caused the Qi of Sky Demon to act like the flies that smelled cracked eggs. No matter how deeply it was hidden, it would be lured.

It also was not the first time Shen Lian exterminated Sky Demon’s virtual shadow anymore. However, he still couldn’t find out where this Qi of Sky Demon that appeared was hiding in Zifu Peak.

Yan Bugui said, “This issue has to be made clear. But hasn’t Grand Ancestor Master realized there was something wrong about this previously?”

Since Shen Lian already discovered, this meant that he was better than the old Daoist who was a typical immortal Zhenren. Even if there was no such coincidence like what Shen Lian encountered, the old Daoist had been living in Taiwei Pavilion for so long. It was impossible that he discovered nothing about this.

Shen Lian was silent for a while, then he looked at the sky and sighed softly, “I keep thinking, at that time he was weak and powerless, where did he get the Free Form Incarnation from? And how did he manage to secretly practice this evil art in Qing Xuan then only to be discovered by my Master, Zhenren Biyun, when he almost completely succeeded?”

“Impossible, definitely impossible,” Yan Bugui spoke with fear. If this did not come from Shen Lien, he would think the person who mentioned it was out of his mind.

Then he forced a smile and said, “Why do you tell me all these, Headmaster? Junior Apprentice-Sister Gu was closer to you and Junior Apprentice-Brother Lu had a better fellowship with you, why do you tell me about these?”

Shen Lian smiled faintly and responded, “Last time you used to be very brave when you were an outlaw. Why have you become timid now?”

Upon hearing what Shen Lian said, Yan Bugui did not know how to respond and decided to take a sip of liquor.

“Some things have to be said. Moreover, I am only making a guess, I’m not making an accusation that he was the person behind this. It’s just that whether Qi of Sky Demon has anything to do with him, I didn’t tell Senior Apprentice-Sister because I’m afraid that she would feel lost. I didn’t tell Shouyi because he’s a person filled with extreme justice. This conversation shall be treated as just a joke between us. Tonight there’s liquor, stars and moon, you and I shouldn’t disappoint such a good scenery and liquor,” Shen Lian spoke without many expressions.

Accompanying Shen Lian to drink the whole night, Yan Bugui realized that his hidden good quality liquor was all gone. His heart ached so badly. He left the hill at dawn. He would not want to meet Shen Lian anymore. At the same time, he went straight to his master, the drunk Daoist’s abode of immortals after he left the hill. If his master was not around, he would go to Drunken Daoist’s wine pool to steal some liquor.
