After he finished his words, he turned and took one big step forward. Even though he told Fan Yanying not to sink into despair, as long as she saw the back of uncle-master, she would still feel somewhat desolate.

She knew and understood that Shen Lian not only felt grief for Chen Jianmei, but also for Gu Caiwei. After all, aunt-master had told Fan Yanying countless times that it was Gu Caiwei herself that personally passed down the Taixu Strategy to uncle-master. During the time of his youth at Qing Xuan, uncle-master and Gu Caiwei were very much close.

But uncle-master was too far ahead. Gu Caiwei wanted to catch up, but never could.

Chen Jinchan and Fan Yanying were following Shen Lian close behind. Suddenly a divine thought was transmitted, “Why did headmaster not ask about Junior Apprentice-Sister Ruoxi?”

Fan Yanying replied to the divine thought, “With uncle-master’s ability, what more can be concealed from him, be it in or out of Qing Xuan? He may have already sensed the current condition of Junior Apprentice-Sister Ruoxi, but was not willing to share it with us.”

Chen Jinchan was silent.

He could not ensure that Gu Caiwei endured until the headmaster came back. In addition, he could not stop Junior Apprentice-Sister Ruoxi from choosing to be in seclusion. He was truly ashamed to face the headmaster.

On Shen Ruoxi’s choosing to be in seclusion, Fan Yanying had no opinions regarding it. After all, what uncle-master said was true – transforming the impossible into something possible was inherent in cultivation. Since Junior Apprentice-Sister Ruoxi was determined to do it, it was her own choice. As outsiders, who were we to interfere?

Perhaps she knew more than Chen Jinchan. Ever since Junior Apprentice-Sister could demonstrate Daoist immortality, she frequently acted in an odd manner. There was even a time before she decided to commit to seclusion where she went out and came back with an abnormal divine Qi. Chen Jinchan may have only thought that Dream Heart Sutra was acting up in a bizarre manner, but only Fan Yanying with her brilliant heart of sword felt that something was fishy.

Before Ruoxi’s seclusion, she asked that question in her heart. Ruoxi did not conceal anything from Fan Yanying. The former told the latter that she, Ruoxi, was Tai Su’s reincarnation of Yuan Jun at trial. For this reason, Fairy Tianmeng planted the Synchronized Heart Mantra of Taisu in her heart, even though she could dispel it later. All along a gap was planted in her heart of Dao. Even if she borrowed the peculiar qualities of the Dream Heart Sutra to forcibly break away from the whims, it would, in fact, be incomplete.

The day that she went out was coincidentally the day where she battled mana with Fairy Tianmeng. In the end, she disposed of the great danger. However, at death’s door, Fairy Tianmeng launched a counterattack, finally inducing the arrival of Tai Su Yuan Jun’s consciousness, which fought with Ruoxi over the control of her own body.

If not for the Dream Heart Mantra being incomparably astonishing, and more so as there were no heart and soul techniques higher than it, none of the miraculous effects would have been cast on these kinds of matters. Ruoxi would have become the incarnation of Tai Su Yuan Jun from the very beginning.

Although she and Tai Su Yuan Jun were now one and the same in body, at the bottom of it all she has yet to assimilate with Tai Su Yuan Jun. Therefore, it could still be seen that there were two bodies. It can be said that Ruoxi did not concede to become Tai Su Yuan Jun.

In the end, she relied on her own natural talents and finally figured out a way to maintain her self – seclusion. By this she turned her primordial spirit into emptiness, the existence of her body became a dream. In the dream, she fought with the consciousness of Tai Su Yuan Jun.

Because dreams had endless possibilities, this was the only way for her to contend against the consciousness of Tai Su Yuan Jun. If by luck she could achieve victory, she could once again awaken. If not, she would be trapped in the dream forever.

In this matter, there was no one else that could help her but herself.

Fan Yanying’s guess was right on the mark. Shen Lian’s divine thoughts were spread all throughout Qing Xuan, and he had long sensed that Ruoxi had been in seclusion. Furthermore, he was the one person who knew clearly the situation Ruoxi was in, and he also deeply understood the Dream Heart Mantra. Therefore the reasons for Ruoxi’s decision were not at all concealed from him. But this was personal. It was a family business. There was no need to nag on the disciples and Niece-Master.

If he was profoundly emotional, yet powerless, he would not be Shen Lian.

The matter concerning Ruoxi can be dealt with later. Now, it was time to meet all the doyens and disciples of Qing Xuan and declare the good news: Shen Lian has returned.

...

Since thousands of years ago, several calamities resulted in the eliminating of the sect partitions between the Celestialisms. There was no longer any attachment to material things due to sentimental value. Most of the necessities of cultivation and the spiritual items were all used for trade. The Xuantong Demon King was originally the big expert on such endeavors, using this as a pretext for fixing in place the transactions of the celestial market and establishing Lingyan Pavilion. Day and night, a large number of cultivators went in and out. With the reputation of Lingyan Pavilion, even the demons and monsters could trade freely inside.

Therefore, although the number of Immortal Zhenrens have yet to increase since previous years, the cultivators who had immortality demonstrated a blowout in their position because of these exchanges. Adding to the situation back then was the research of Demon Master’s Teleport Formation by Lingyan Pavilion. Through the Teleport Formation of Lingyan Pavilion, cultivators from all around the world could come faster and more efficiently than before. Furthermore, the transmission of messages would be just as fast and efficient, spreading quicker. As of today, the cultivation community was much more prosperous compared to the past.

The Yuan Continent’s Mount Jimo was coincidentally the headquarters for the Luoists back in the day. Ever since Luoism was defeated and eradicated, Lingyan Pavilion became the largest branch of the Demon Master’s trading in Yuan Continent. Cultivators came and went, just like a fair in the secular world.

However, in this place teeming with worldly desires, there were still untouched places. Dengtian Building was one of those places, a rare scenic viewpoint far outside Lingyan Pavilion. From the top of the building, nothing else could be seen except for haze and evening mist, and the worldly celestial environment.

The cultivators that rested on Dengtian Building either had high family status, or extraordinary cultivation experience or came from a good background. Whatever news that was discussed here could only be the most major events happening within the cultivation community.

Only one of the cultivators was narrating today. The rest were listening to him. He narrated the story of how the previous Qing Xuan headmaster, Zhenren Shen, who had disappeared thousands of years ago, once again appeared in Qing Xuan. The narrating cultivator was coincidentally a person closely associated with Qing Xuan, coming from one of its powerhouses. When he was telling the story of Zhenren Shen returning once again to the realm of the living, not a detail was spared. He was vividly describing each detail with much enthusiasm as if he was at the scene in person on that very day.

“You all know that my disposition is not prone to falsity. Zhenren Chen is a sublime person, and within the cultivation community, it could even be said that he is as weighty as Mount Tai and as brilliant as the Big Dipper. But on that day, when he was beside his headmaster, Zhenren Shen, it was like me facing my father at home. Reverent and respectful. From what I could tell, the respect was not merely because Zhenren Chen honored the teaching of his headmaster, but because Zhenren Shen’s cultivation experience was miles ahead of Zhenren Chen! To the extent that Zhenren Chen revered and held Zhenren Shen in high esteem!

This time, according to my aunt’s husband, Zhenren Shen ordered Zhenren Chen to convene us Qing Xuan cultivators to return to the mountain. Zhenren Shen has something he wishes to instruct us on. Furthermore, back in the day, Zhenren Shen was the most modest and unassuming of persons. Be it the later generation, the current generation, or the past generation, anyone who asked him about the complications of cultivation would be met with his honest answers. He has never been one to be selfish. This time when we return if luck permits that we meet Zhenren Shen, let us take the chance to ask him about the complications of cultivation. His advice is worth so much more than any elixir in the world.”

The cultivator who was speaking was quite plump. His surname was Jia, and he came from a background of a big cultivation clan from Yuan Continent. Before his family picked up cultivation, they were already a prominent clan. Later on, one of their ancestors was brought into Qing Xuan by one of the Qing Xuan doyens. They obtained and cultivated the Shenxiao True Technique, and during the process of eliminating Luosim by armed forces, their reputation soared. They were known as The East of Qing Xuan, number one in Lightning Techniques.

The East of Qing Xuan was precisely Tianhua Continent, and also the original head camp of Luoism back in the day. That was why people of the current times speak highly of his ancestors, that they were strong in their Lightning Techniques. The talents of Luoism came forth in large numbers, but not a single person was worthy enough an opponent.

Although his ancestor achieved eight transformations of Huandan, he still could not achieve Powang. After he passed away of old age, the Jia family had no other talents and so they could not return to the glory days. However, in the end, his ancestor still served Qing Xuan, taking up the position of a doyen. His ancestor brought all the uncles bearing the Jia surname into Qing Xuan before dying, making them his disciples. His uncle was also of extraordinary talent, unexpectedly achieving the seventh transformation of Huandan a few years back. The Jia family thus made a turn for the better, once again returning to the glory days.

The Jia cultivators established Dengtian Building in his uncle’s honor.

“Brother Jia, you say that Zhenren Shen is highly skilled. That is indeed true. But if it were his teachings, perhaps he is not as good as Zhenren Xiangshan from the Xuantian Sect. All in all, Zhenren Shen did nurture an amazing disciple in Zhenren Chen, but lest we forget, Zhenren Chen was a natural-born Daoist body. Who knows how much easier it was for him to achieve Dao, compared to the likes of ordinary people such as ourselves? On the other hand, the nine disciples of the Xuantian Sect nurtured by Zhenren Xiangshan all turned out to be Immortal Zhenrens in their own right. The cultivation of Zhenrens Wang Shidao and Song Qingyi are far beyond that of Zhenren Shen. I heard from one of the more distinguished pupils from Xuantian that Zhenren Xiangshan’s teachings were better than any elixir.” Among the crowd of cultivators, someone yelled eccentrically.
