Chapter 634: The Heart Is like a Bright Mirror’s Stand

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shen Lian looked into a distance, over numerous hills and streams, as he spoke, “By the time the sun rises tomorrow, she will be here.”

The servant’s expression turned serious. He had served the master for thirty years and he had never even seen him make a mistake once. This would not be the exception but regardless of who he assigned the task to, whether it was Black and White Impermanence, the Five-Element Folks or the Eight Generals, they would be able to demonstrate their powers. If even they could not stop the woman, could she be a Master?

Shen Lian continued to admire the red leaves in the mountain. He felt calm and contented even though there was some accident in his dream. He only woke up completely three days ago. The dream was special as it made him feel like it was real, or perhaps it was indeed a real place but Ruoxi and he got there through the channel of the dream.

Where it was Fan Zhen or the coming Fairy Taisu, they were both the representation of the will of the Primal Lord of Grand Simplicity, just like his relationship with Tao Hong.

The reason why Fan Zhen brought up the theory of ceased psyche to eliminate the basis that Ruoxi’s psyche still existed. If nobody in the world believed that it was possible for the psyche to remain, Ruoxi’s death meant it was indeed the end.

This was the counter the Primal Lord of Grand Simplicity utilized when she felt Shen Lian was interfering.

While Shen Lian did not wake up previously, he too, took the opportunity to help Xiao Dao achieve a regime change, so he could make use of the imperial power to weaken Fan Zhen.

Fan Zhen was indeed terrific as he did not at all lose out even a little. He could even counter attack. If Fairy Taisu brought Ruoxi to Fan Zhen, the two would know the truth. Till then, Shen Lian would be trapped in a passive situation. Fortunately, he woke up earlier. As long as he could get rid of Fairy Taisu here, he would have the leisure to deal with Fan Zhen and bring Ruoxi out of the dream. The only thing was, he would have another strong enemy, the Primal Lord of Grand Simplicity but he had no other choice.

This time, a ball of fire descended on Shen Lian but he was fine. He sighed as he said, “Chi Zhuiyang is dead.”

Chi Zhuiyang was raised with his eight Qi of Taixu, and even he could not withstand Fairy Taisu for just a while. Shen Lian had to pay more attention to this opponent.

The servant was shocked as he heard it. If the timing was right, Chi Zhuiyang had probably only arrived at the location a while ago. The Daoist nun was fast.

Shen Ruoxi’s could only hear the wind. She could not even see what was in front as Fairy Taisu was moving too quickly.

...

The sound of the splitting wind suddenly disappeared. In front of them stood a woman who was holding an umbrella and in her surrounding, the intangible wind was circulating. She was looking down at them from the sky.

“You’re Feng Qingyu!” Fairy Taisu stood on the tip of a big tree while carrying Shen Ruoxi like she was weightless.

The woman smiled and kept the umbrella, like a poisonous dragon drill, she gushed forward and attacked with a strong wind. The Daoist nun looked at her in a disdain manner as she was able to see through every action of Feng Qingyu. She brushed it lightly to give her a critical attack.

What happened next was out of the Daoist nun’s expectation. When she was near, there was an explosion in the sky which almost destroyed the entire tree.

Fairy Taisu appeared in the midst of the dust, in a dismayed state. Her hair was messy.

She did not expect the opponent would sacrifice with no hesitation.

What was the charm of Shen Lian which made all these powerful individuals willing to sacrifice everything for him?

Fairy Taisu felt nervous like she had become a prey in a carefully designed trap. Shen Lian was the hunter and what she had faced so far were merely the hunter dog and the eagle.

It was not unexpected that subsequently the Six Generals of sky, earth, mountain, swamp, water, and lightning appeared. She had to waste her energy but the key was that they kept coming. They did not give her a chance to rest.

There was no exception. All of them were willing to risk their lives in this battle.

While her essential Qi recovered quickly, her psyche felt the fatigue as she did not manage to rest well.

She felt firmer. If the opponent was willing to wear her out with such a strategy, he was naturally afraid of her.

Regardless of how powerful Shen Lian was, she would still go straight ahead to kill him and bring the little girl to Fan Zhen.

However, after she eliminated the Eight Generals, the Five-Element Folks did not come one by one, but altogether. There was even the Dead and Alive Impermanence who besieged her.

None of them was an exception, as their deathlike eyes revealed their willingness to die.

None could stop a person who defied death, furthermore, all seven of them who were powerful individuals had given up their lives. It was not an easy situation for anyone.

If Shen Ruoxi was not around, she could leave in ease but it was impossible for her to leave her behind.

The seven of them formed the seven-star formation with the variation of Yin and Yang and the five elements. Every time Fairy Taisu attacked, she was facing the seven of them together.

From their formation, one could take a peek at a profound Daoist rhythm and it touched Fairy Taisu’s heart like her Daoist techniques were not restricted as such.

There appeared lightning and thunder in her palm, as it kept roaring, it still did not manage to break the formation.

The dusty silver strings went through several hundred and thousands of circulation. However, with the activated formation, all seven of them avoided the strings nimbly.

As time went by, Fairy Taisu slowly was able to distinguish what was real and what was not. She pointed her finger at the void and by chance one of the Five-Element Folks crashed into her. The finger could destroy gold and break the jade. It pierced through his heart.

The unbreakable formation was eventually broken.

Fairy Taisu still felt that she escaped from the barrier.

Failing to set up the formation, the other six were all killed by Fairy Taisu. She finally realized something was wrong as she recalled that the people who died previously all turned into a gush of Qi with different colors.

The seven were the same, as from their corpses, a gush of Qi flew out and it did not go far.

She looked up at the sky and the bright moon was about to go down. She could hear the flowing stream.

Fairy Taisu walked up to the little bump ahead and she finally saw the vast river. There was someone standing by the riverside with his hands clasped behind his back. For the first time, she felt a heavy heart.

She was not in a rush to head forward and she began to regain her Qi. However, because of the existence of that person, she could not relax. Even though her mana recovered, her psyche did not.

Eventually, the sun rose slowly, inch by inch from the river. The bright red rays lit up the leaves in the river.

That person finally turned around slowly as if he was an all-important deity who just descended to the world. He looked no different from the heaven and earth.

Shen Lian took note of the person earlier than Fairy Taisu. She felt that he was incredibly familiar and friendly but she could not recall who he was.

Fairy Taisu’s face was as cold as ice and her gaze was sharp The enormous pressure that came with it made it feel like she wanted to slice Shen Lian up, although her effort was futile.

Shen Lian spoke slowly, “Since a person was born, his innate spirituality is continuously polluted postnatal and eventually it becomes dirty. This is similar to a child doodling on a piece of paper. By the time he becomes a great painter, he can no longer make use of the original paper. For a human to learn how to draw, he has countless paper at his disposal but a pure spirituality is only available when a person is born. Hence, people try to figure out a lot of ways, such as through cultivation to get rid of the dust and return the spirituality to its original state. I conclude this as ‘The body is the Bodhi tree, the mind is like a bright mirror’s stand; one has to clean it often so that it will not be clouded by dust’. Until today, I only dare to say that my effort in this isn’t wasted. Your heart has to be brighter than others for you to ‘wake up’ earlier.”
