Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Chen Jinchan remained silent. In actual fact, once a cultivator reached the stage of Huandan, it can be said that he had the ‘fortune to gain powers of the heaven and earth, endowed with gifted spirit to invade the sun and moon’. Moreover, he would continue this journey further. Hence, such a contradiction was almost unavoidable.

Can they even prevent them from improving, dispersed all forms of cultivation and reconstruct anew? Fallen flowers were not heartless creatures, they turned into spring soil to protect the growing ones. However, the concern where no flowers would transform into spring soil would prevail if flowers flourished without withering.

Chen Jinchan said, “Founding master, there are very few immortal Zhenrens currently, thus it is still possible to traverse the doors of two worlds in which you had opened with ease. Nevertheless, how can the cultivators whom you ordered me to assemble traverse the doors? Even if the number of people attending does not reach one hundred thousand, there would be at least eighty to ninety thousand participants.”

Shen Lian said, “You do not have to worry over this, Qing Xuan once lost a treasure, drifted into the outside world. It seemed like a scroll of empty white painting. In actuality, it was a world yet to be formed. If we were to have it back, even if there were a million people, it is still possible to traverse with ease, not to mention a hundred thousand people. If it wasn’t for my lack of foundation in Netherworld, I do not have to bring so many cultivators over. Fortunately, the Qi in Netherworld is much denser than this part of the world, having to develop and extend our regime is way more beneficial than having to be oppressed in this part of the world.”

Chen Jinchan said, “I wonder where is the drawing now.”

Shen Lian’s replied heavily, “Xuantian Sect.”

Chen Jinchan was appalled, to claim this drawing back would be challenging.

As to how the drawing landed in Xuantian Sect, this matter dated back to three days ago.

Shifokou of the Yuan Continent had always been the assembling destination for the Tianxiang Order. The Order leader of Tianxiang – Xin Shisiniang – was an enlightened demon lord. It was rumored that she had mastered the Divine Fragrance Spell, capable of spellbinding any beings that were not as powerful as celestials and Buddhas. Even when it came to celestials and Buddhas, if were they not careful, they would fall into her trap.

Nonetheless, Xin Shisiniang was a disciplined person, she rarely caused any conflicts. Under her rule, Tianxiang Order had amassed into an astonishing amount of wealth within the past thousands of years, there were a handful of great demons eyeing on Xin Shisiniang’s wealth, desired to gain her wealth through marriage. Their pursuits were, however, all declined by Xin Shisiniang. There was then one great demon who employed force to compel her into marriage. He announced publicly. “If Xin shisiniang does not marry me, I will set fire to burn Shifokou into ashes, eradicating the very existence of Tianxiang Order.”

A day after the great demon’s public proclamation. His abode turned into ashes and the demon, transformed into a puddle of mud. Ever since then, there were no great demons who dared to court Xin Shisiniang.

Since that particular incident, even enlightened monks with great morality who belonged to the ten secs of Buddhism, or people with special powers from Xuanmen dared not linger around Shifokou.

People rumored thereafter, that the order leader of Tianxiang had married a highly powerful demon.

Xin Shisiniang viewed the river from the mountain behind Shifokou, there was a mountain opposite of it, which its shape was closely similar to naturally-made Shifokou, this was also how the name, Shifokou, came about.

There was a waterfall at the top of the mountain, thin and fine, illuminated pure white gleams, similar to snow and white paper. However, at a closer look, there was nothing. Leaving only the sight of flurry mist that flew away into emptiness. This was due to the naturally formed spaces between the rocks on the walls of the mountain. The water would flow downwards due to the empty spaces. Given that there was no other form of support, the waterfall thus appeared to be thin and fine.

It was as if there was a human shadow amidst the misty waterfall, it stood firmly in a void of space. Due to flurry mist that was alike to chiffon, a glanced at it from far made it all seemed unreal.

Xin Shisiniang had her eyes fixed on that spot. Hesitated, she then flew towards it. When she was nearby, the human shadow hidden behind the waterfall became clearer, he held a scroll of an ancient scripture in his hand. His celestial appearance was elegant, and then gradually walked out. The flowing water of the waterfall did not even splatter on his body, he walked through a void of space as though he was walking steadily on a flat surface.

Xin Shisiniang scrutinized his celestial appearance and asked in uncertainty, “You are Zhenren Wang?”

The elegant man who had an ancient scroll of scripture in his hand was indeed Wang Shidao from Xuantian Sect. He smiled and said, “Shifokou is a conducive place for studying, I love this waterfall in particular. If we can empty the mountainside, build a shack in it for accommodation, it would be extremely joyous.”

Xin Shisiniang said, “You over-praised us. This place of mine, how can it be compatible with the breathtaking view of the Tianmen Straits?”

Wang Shidao chuckled and said, “Each has their own enigmatic beauty, there is no comparison over this.”

Xin Shisiniang replied hesitantly, “Why did you travel over to this place, is there anything we can help?”

“I would like to trouble you to return that scroll of empty white painting to me,” said Wang Shidao courteously.

Xin Shisiniang said, “That scroll of painting had been taken by my husband.”

“However, I am aware that when you, Shisiniang, married the Bull King, you had requested to have that painting as your betrothal gift. I am afraid that you have the idea of using this painting to request help from Qing Xuan connoisseurs in defeating Bull King, inadvertently murdering your father’s foe. Nonetheless, because of Daoist Master Taiyi’s divine restriction on that painting, Bull King was unable to reap any benefits from it. He must be angered. So, he would not let you have the painting,” said Wang Shidao patiently.

Xin Shisiniang replied plainly, “What can you do even if that was the case? When I married him, these terms were discussed, yet he was still willing to marry me.”

Wang Shidao chuckled and said, “Bull King is a heroic figure amongst the demons, he would naturally neglect your status. Hence, he is not fearful of your prospective revenge. Moreover, he had once fallen in love with a lady from the fox clan, you two looked extremely alike. She passed away. That is why he married you.”

Xin Shisiniang was stunned, she was silenced for a period of time and spoke plaintively, “Now I understand, this was the reason why he married me.”

“Shisiniang, there is no need for you to worry about revenging him. Do you know why the Bull King had left this time? It was because there were people who challenged him to a battle of life and death. Though he generously agreed to it, he had in fact, no confidence to claim victory. Thus, he left beforehand, fearing that as the battle was nearing, he might weaken as he sees your face. When the battle starts, the possibility of him surviving would be slim,” said Wang Shidao calmly.

Xin Shisiniang seemed rather surprised, she said, “I know his abilities better than anyone else. Who was it who challenged him to this battle of life and death? What is his intention? It is a known fact that such a mighty figure like him would never fight against any foes who were as strong as he is.”

Wang Shidao replied, “A thousand year ago, Bull King had collected an item from the Vidyaraja Temple. The owner of that temple had successfully cultivated. It is not surprising to have the owner seeking Bull King, forcing him to return the stolen item. The two of them are now one of the top demons in the world. Once they start battling each other, no one will be able to predict the results. It might be possible that even the Bull King cannot fight against his opponent’s supernatural powers. Having said that much, I once again request Shisiniang to return me that painting or I will have to take it myself.”

Xin Shisiniang spoke coldly, “Zhenren Wang, you are known as an enlightened and highly respectable man. Are you not worried about destroying your image with such ill-mannerism?”

Wang Shidao sighed and said, “Those are merely honorifics that are insignificant, I understood this long ago.”

Once he channeled his divine Qi, Xi Shisiniang was heavily pressured. She eventually said, “I will give it to you.”

She removed the scroll of white painting from her body and threw it towards Wang Shidao. Wang Shidao had a glanced of it and smiled, he said, “Do excuse my offenses.”

He then transformed into a white blaze and left towards the sky.

In the late evening, Xin Shisiniang met Shen Lian. She immediately understood what was going on and left him only one statement, “Zhenren Shen, you are too late.”

After Shen Lian had a clear understanding of what had happened from Xin Shisiniang, he realized that this was the doings of Lu Jiuyuan, if it was not him, Shen Lian could have predicted this incident. He was currently not inferior to Lu Jiuyuan. However, at this side of the world, he was still considered as a guest and Lu Jiuyuan was the host, which the host would be blessed with more advantages.
