Supposedly nothing could float on the river, but a raft did.

If one paid close attention, one could observe that there was a layer of Qing Guang at the interface between the bottom of the raft and the water surface. As it separated the raft from the water, hence it did not sink. An extremely beautiful woman sat kneeling down next to a small tea table in the raft. On top of it, there were delicate spiritual fruits and desserts.

The woman was the spy Guangqing placed, Qingyin. At the moment, her eyes were looking down and she nodded as a gesture of respect at the nose of the raft. The wind blew, and a handsome-looking middle-aged Daoist appeared. It was the missing Daoist Huanzhen from Guangqing Celestial sect.

He looked fairer than before, and there was Qing Guang flowing out his eyes, as if they contained an insurmountable amount of wisdom.

Qingyin looked up at Daoist Huanzhen with her burning eyes, “Your Holiness, you’ve finally contacted me, else I will have thought that something happened to you based on the rumors.”

“Qingyin, everything you have had been granted by me, and hence we have this connection beyond imagination. Everyone assumed that I had an accident, but you know that I am fine. The reason I am only contacting you now is because this is the first time I have a chance to.” Huanzhen sighed, and his eyes revealed the fatigue he felt. Qingyin was adopted by Huanzhen since young, and he also planted the seed of the first essential Qi in her. Even her meridians and acupoints had Huanzhen’s mark. If Huanzhen was crueler, he could easily turn her into a clone. This was the reason why Huanzhen asked Qingyin to understand the distribution of power for Guangqing. She was trustworthy.

Since Huanzhen and the other twelve disappeared, and since Zhao Xiaoyu unified Luoism, Qingyin had been undercover. In between she had gone back and forth to Mount Taichang, but as her position was too low, she was never called in by Yuming the Honored Celestial. While she had the feeling that told her that Daoist Huanzhen was safe, Huanzhen kept reminding her through telepathy to not do anything out of the ordinary.

The feeling was so weak that she could have almost ignored it, but she still chose to believe it. Before her patience was used up, she finally managed to contact Huanzhen and decided on the river as the meetup point.

Huanzhen felt different from before. He seemed unworldly, and this reminded her of Shen Lian at Mount Jimo, and the five celestials of

Guangqing. The only difference was that Huanzhen seemed to be lacking something, and he did not enter the miraculous state completely.

She too could feel the fatigue in Huanzhen’s heart vividly.

She did not know what was Huanzhen facing all this while that led to his fatigue. She could even feel a tinge of fear.

Qingyin said, “Your Holiness, what happened to you? You did not even return to Guangqing, what can I do for you?”

Huanzhen looked at the sword gleam on top of Mount Zhong. The impact of the battle even stirred up a giant wave in the river which was crashing towards the raft. His vision turned into the reality two giant palms which hit the giant waves. It was a supernatural power which interfered the physical world through the spiritual world, which only the Buddha and Demon could play out well. However, to say that Huanzhen was better than a lot of enlightened monks and the top in the demon realm would be an understatement.

He said, “You can’t help me directly. Even though you asked someone to find out where I was secretly, and even going so far as to find out the secret group that has dealt a huge damage on Luoism, you still can’t hide from that person. Even without doing anything, you are still involved.”

Qingyin was shocked. She could not imagine who was this terrifying person that even the Huanzhen today felt scared about. She intended to ask, but Huanzhen said, “Don’t ask who he is, I’m afraid he has already reached the state of divine response. He can detect it if someone mentions about him.”

Qingyin dared not to ask. She looked at Mount Zhong and said, “Today is Zhenren Shen and Chen Beidou’s battle day. Your Holiness, I believe there are more than just us who are watching, the dragon king from the Dragon Transformation Pond of the east sea is here. He is hiding underneath the river, and it is hard for anyone to realize, but as he ate one of my underlings, I know about it.”

“A dragon can’t make it. The reason why he is watching is because of Chen Beidou’s position as a god. Even though he is a dragon, without the Dragon Transformation Pond he can’t become a king. Surrounding Mount Zhong there is the river, and Chen Beidou’s job includes controlling the rain and it overlaps with that of a dragon king. If he can take the position of god at Mount Zhong, he can also control the river and become the commander of the river where not even a feather or a log can float. It far exceeds being the fake dragon king of the east sea.” Huanzhen spoke of the dragon king’s intentions clearly.

Qingyin said, “Even I know that Chen Beidou is one of the most powerful Gods, and not even the old monsters from Tian Xianjing or the State of Pusha can beat him. While Zhenren Shen is strong, but this time the odds are not with him, would the dragon want his efforts to be in vain?”

Huanzhen spoke in disdain, “He is not someone who knows the height of the world. Perhaps he has some power backing him, but he is still overestimating himself.” Subsequently, he spoke in a serious tone, “The reason why I took such a huge risk to see you today, is to save Shen Lian when he loses.”

Qingyin replied, “Ah.” If it was not because of the feeling, she would have thought he was a fake. Guangqing and Shen Lian were not considered the worst arch enemies, but it was not far from that. How was it possible to save Shen Lian?

Shen Lian stood in the void, and even with the Qi of heaven and earth of Mount Zhong, along with the power of the stars, none of those could aid him in this battle. He could only rely on himself. The feeling of helplessness in the world wrapped around his heart. Even though he had entered an indescribable state of Dao, he still could not stop the feeling of helplessness from entering. It seemed like it could almost pull him out of the state of Dao.

He slowly opened his eyes and knocked lightly on the Five Elements Magical Sword.

He looked up at the full moon and said, “Tonight’s moon is extremely bright. If you die today, I will bury you under the moonlight.”

Chen Beidou spoke coldly, “I know you already transformed Dazizai Shapeless Sword Aura into the Eight-Step Sword Art, but you’re aware that everything would only be complete at its ninth step. As you’re not complete, you can’t churn out the ninth step. This is not something that can be solved by a sudden revelation. I’ve given you an opportunity, but you gave up because of the laughable ‘passing on of the sect’. Today you don’t have a chance to get out of here alive, but I will remember you because my swordcraft is complete because of you.”

Shen Lian spoke leisurely, “You’re indeed at a high level, but you can’t know everything in the world. Do you think you’re a Daoist Master or a Buddha, where nothing can go beyond you?”
