Buneng left after receiving the answer he wanted to hear. Before departing, he told Shen Lian that he would deliver the Mahayana Sutra the following day. He did not say what would happen if Shen Lian’s suggestion did not work out.

This was because Shen Lian just did them a big favor by giving them his suggestion.

Furthermore, the Sutra was not a living being. If it was someone else other than the Buddha or the Heavenly King who obtained it, the person would probably not be as accomplished as Buddha and the Heavenly King.

The Mahayana Sutra did not help much in the Dajue Temple. Otherwise, they need not to be fearful of Emperor Xia at all.

After Buneng left, Shen Lian took out the black metal token which was the personal order Emperor Xia delivered the night before. The token did not only contain Emperor Xia’s invitation to conquer the Eastern Barbarians, but also his determination.

The determination was so heated that it could have burned Shen Lian’s divine thoughts if he was slightly careless.

Although Emperor Xia had found a new breakthrough, he had yet to reach the level where he could create a chiliocosm. Even if he was stronger than Shen Lian, his powers were limited.

Shen Lian looked at the black metal token and his eyes lighted up and melted the token to reveal an ember. That was the determination of Emperor Xia. Even if Shen Lian’s Primordial Spirit was strong, it was still difficult to destroy it.

It was late at night, Shen Lian opened his hands and the ember landed in his palms. The portrait of Lingbao Tianzun looked like it came to life and was with Shen Lian.

The ancient deep breath wrapped around the ember. Shen Lian clenched his fist slowly and soon the sound of the extinguished ember could be heard.

There was nothing indestructible. If there was, the person was just not powerful enough.

A cold hum entered Shen Lian’s mind. Shen Lian responded to it in his heart, “I will be there.”

Shen Lian was interested in the Eastern Barbarians and the son of the White Emperor. Moreover, if Shen Lian chose not to join Emperor Xia, the feud between them would be endless.

After all, Diqiu still had Tianyi.

Emperor Xia’s conquest of the Eastern Barbarians was actually him giving Tianyi and opportunity to escape. This was the gentle side of Emperor Xia. If Tianyi did not take this opportunity and leave, Emperor Xia would no longer give him a second chance.

This war with the Eastern Barbarians would also settle the score between Emperor Xia and Shen Lian. It may not necessarily be a physical fight but it would definitely determine who would advance from wherever they were at.

Fortunately, Shen Lian was able to witness the battle between his disciple Lei Jing and Wuding before the trip. He was really looking forward to the battle.

If he could return to Qing Xuan, he would love to bring Lei Jing along. He thought that his senior apprentice-sister would like this girl. The grandmaster too would be pleased to have a disciple like Lei Jing.

Taixu had always favored the girls. If it was not for Zhang Ruoxu, Shen Lian would not have the chance to cultivate the Taixu Strategy. Whether it is Founding Master Qingshui or the grandmaster, they would most probably prefer to have a girl to be their disciple.

At this point, gender did not really matter. But if there was an option, people would naturally prefer to stick to their habits and reject others’ opinion. It was not difficult to predict what the grandmaster and Founding Master Qingshui would pick.

Shen Lian could not help but think of his grandmaster. The girl dressed in purple with a hint of green shadow. It was an extremely unforgettable scenery for him.

Shen Lian did not know where would his grandmaster be. After all, the universe was vast and the space-time was rather confusing. It was difficult to get a grasp of it unless one was a Daoist master or Buddha.

Lei Jing had been cultivating the Summoning of Wind and Rain for quite a long period of time. The deeper she delved into it, the more she was amazed by it. The wind, rain and thunder could mutually transform each other and generate different types of power. From there, she also learned about the path of life and death.

However, her cultivation was not all smooth sailing. During every cultivation session, she realized that her psyche and Qi of vigor were absorbed by a stream of air current, that was to fuel mana to the Summoning of Wind and Rain.

She felt like a river, whose water was constantly pouring in to a reservoir. The river then dried up as the reservoir expanded.

There was no gain neither were there any loss. When the reservoir expanded to a certain degree, it could regulate the amount of river water. Also, when the gates of the reservoir suddenly opened, an enormous force could surge out from the reservoir. Lei Jing could only imagine this terrifying explosive force as she felt that she would not be able to control it.

The Summoning the Wind and Rain that Shen Lian taught her was not the original version from the Thirty-Six Heavenly Transformation. Furthermore, Lei Jing’s special lineage had brought upon different variation while she was cultivating this supernatural power.

Her lineage was the huge reservoir that accumulated such an enormous amount of Qi of vigour to generate the mana for Summoning the Wind and Rain.

Lei Jing had mixed emotions as she sensed the changes in her body. She was happy that she was making progress but felt sad as she has not seen her teacher for a long time.

However, her sorrow soon disappeared as a green whirlpool appeared and formed into the appearance of Shen Lian in front of her. She was used to Shen Lian’s unpredictable appearance and disappearance, and she did not feel that it was wrong for a man to break into her room suddenly.

Shen Lian was satisfied with her progress and said, “Jing Er, you have progressed so much. You indeed did not let me down.”

Lei Jing was delighted and jumped off her bed. She stood in front of Shen Lian with her barefoot and looked like a water lily in full bloom. She seemed shy but looked stunningly beautiful.

She wanted to hug Shen Lian’s arm but she caught nothing and remembered that this was just a spiritual body of Shen Lian.

She said, “Teacher, why did it take you so long to come and see me?”

Shen Lian laughed, “You are always thinking about running away from home. For someone who does not think about her parents, would you even miss me?”

Lei Jing responded, “Of course I missed you. Just look at how hard I have cultivated. I have followed your methods exactly but I still do not know how to release that force within.”

Shen Lian said, “That is why I am here to teach you how to master the Summoning the Wind and Rain power.”

He pointed at the moon and said, “Look, the moon tonight is bright and clean. The starry sky looks really beautiful too.”

It was around midnight and the moon was hanging in the middle of the sky. The stars were like water and the courtyard was empty.

Shen Lian was leisurely enjoying the view.

Soon enough. Lei Jing started to feel the changes in the surrounding. She looked up and the stars seemed reachable. It turned out that she has reached the rooftop of her residence.

She was really close to the starry sky and was also close to Shen Lian. Lei Jing felt that her happiest moment in her lifetime was at that very moment.

Some form of happiness needed no reason. If to really name a reason, it was the feeling of being able to be with the person you like. It did not have to last forever, just a brief moment was good enough.

Lei Jing knew that Shen Lian would never like her back, but that did not matter as long as she liked him.

Shen Lian had to call her three times before she recovered from her wandering thoughts.
