Daoist Master Of Qing Xuan Chapter 323 - Unexpected Calamities

Chapter 323 - Unexpected Calamities

Shen Lian felt stunned when he heard the voice, he then stopped his cloud. He saw a stroke of clear Qi that came from below. It was in front of him in a moment.
The speed was unbelievable.
He was knowledgeable so he knew what the shifting light was about.
In the world and between Daoism and Buddhism, there were only two types of shifting methods which were the top in the world. Even some of the wild clans which specialized in flying could not beat these two shifting methods in terms of speed.
The top shifting method of Buddhism was the Heart Shifting Method, or otherwise known as the corner of the world could be reached in one thought, and of course, this could only happen if one had achieved the highest level. Only Bodhisattva or Arhat could reach this level.
The top shifting method of Xuanmen was called the Divine Aura Shifting Method. They did not overstate the description of the method - they just called it the fastest of Xuanmen. Ten thousand years ago, one monk and one Daoist who were both deities competed for the speed of their methods against one another.
They made a promise to visit one place for flower admiration and they arrived almost at the same time. While Daoism and Buddhism were different, but the Great Way led both to the same ending, and hence as both were at similar levels, the difference between the two methods was not big.
The passing on of the Divine Aura Shifting Method was mysterious, and the minimum cultivation level was Dixian, land immortal. If one was not an immortal Zhenren, one could not even get near to the doorstep. Even with Qing Xuan's history and wealth, there was no detailed cultivation manual for this method.
He recognized the method because of the characteristics.
The clear Qi could be visualized, and in Shen Lian's eyes, it was a green-robed Daoist. He had the bones of a deity, and he was surrounded by Qi of Dao. It was apparent that he had succeeded in the very authentic Xuanmen techniques, but even with Shen Lian's knowledge, he could not tell the origin of it.
Shen Lian spoke, "Friend, why did you stop me?"
The green-robed Daoist laughed, "My friend, you're facing an imminent tragedy."
Shen Lian looked at the Daoist and thought, his cultivation experience did not seem to show that he had achieved immortality. He did not understand why he dared to make such a wild comment and what was his aim.
He thought quickly but he said, "If there is a tragedy, friend, please leave now so you're not affected."
The green-robed Daoist laughed, "Yes, you're right."
Before the green-robed Daoist even ended his sentence, Shen Lian heard a booming sound, and a giant claw was coming towards him. It stirred up a strong wind which even covered the sun.
Not even Yuming the Honored Celestial's the grappling hand transformed from Qi of Xuanqing could compare to this grab. Combining with the ancient Dao meaning, with that grab, the Qi of heaven and earth from a perimeter of ten thousand feet was emptied by the giant claw.
The mana of this visitor was unbelievably high. Shen Lian did not manage to dodge. He saw that the green-robed Daoist had turned into a stroke of clear Qi and escaped. At the same time, he pushed ahead with his palm and the depth of his mana had stopped Shen Lian from reacting. He had to face the giant claw directly.
Shen Lian had to use the Mark of Mountains and Rivers. The mixed ray aura exploded suddenly and the grey current went towards the giant claw which covered the sun. Luckily the giant claw only had a strong aura, after locking its spiritual opportunity, it did not seem to be very nimble, else he would not be able to use the Mark of Mountains and Rivers easily.
An explosion, followed by a large noise had affected the surrounding. The horrifying wave of Qi of vitality damaged everything in the upper sky.
The two supreme mana counter reacted each other, as it settled down, there was no more dust.
One could see a golden-robed king in the upper sky. He had a hook nose, and he was glaring, with eyes cold as sword. Wherever the eyes reached, one could hear the void was vibrating slightly.
He was tall and far bigger than an average human. He was like a dignified deity.
This was a supreme demon king and his power could exceed even the Nine-Headed Demon King from before, and Mister Sea was nothing compared to him. The golden-robed demon king gazed at the man in front of him. He was a human but he had a horrifying aura. The effect of time on him was minor, and it seemed that he was considered young among humans.
He had gone around the world and he had never met such a young human master. In their words, this was called immortal Zhenren.
"Are you associated with the crazy Daoist?" The golden-robed demon king stared at Shen Lian sharply and as piercing as a sword. If he was an average cultivator, perhaps his body had already been torn into pieces, and there would be nothing left including his spirit.
As the piercing gaze came to the front of Shen Lian, it was swallowed like there was an invisible black hole. It did not affect Shen Lian.
"I don't know the Daoist." He did not say much. He spoke only one sentence.
The golden-robed demon king looked at Shen Lian carefully. He nodded and the void trembled again. It happened because the space could not sustain the speed.
Shen Lian understood immediately that the demon king was chasing after the green-robed Daoist and hence he stopped bothering him.
If today he had reached the celestial state, it could be the end of him even before the golden-robed demon king asked him any question. He would have been killed on the spot.
With Shen Lian's knowledge, he could guess who the golden-robed demon king was. He was probably one of those scary demon clans.
If he was right, the Shen Lian today could at most survive under his attack.
Shen Lian did not figure out who the crazy Daoist was.
The world is huge and there were a lot of masters in the world. If there were any retreated masters which were not known to the world, it was nothing surprising.
As the green-robed Daoist cultivated the Divine Aura Shifting Method and carried the authentic Daoist techniques, and still he could not recognize where he was from was indeed odd. Perhaps he was not from Yuan Continent, or from this world.
From Qing Xuan's record, there were some messages from external visitors. Just like during the ancient time when there were a lot of celestials and Buddha, most of them were not born and raised there.
However, an external visitor was extremely rare and was hard to come by.
This incident, however, gave Shen Lian a warning that there were people out there who were better. Even though the golden-robed demon king and the crazy Daoist were rare individuals, it did not mean such individuals did not exist.
If not because he had made great progress, he would not know if he would just lose his life easily.
Also the phrase by the crazy Daoist, "Friend, please stay", now that he thought about it, he felt there was some hidden charm which caused him to be stunned and missed a beat.
It could be possible that the phrase utilized a rare spell curse, and hence it could affect even his state of mind.
This made the crazy Daoist even more mysterious, and why was he being chased by the golden-robed demon king? One had to know that the nickname of the golden-robed demon king was 'the deity in between the heavens'. It meant he was not far from the top position of the demons.
Even among the famous immortal Zhenren, he doubted anyone would want to offend him because not only was he powerful, he was one of the fastest in heaven and earth. If one got into a conflict with him, one issue was that one could not win, and another was that even the escape would be hard.
Another thing Shen Lian did not understand was that why did the crazy Daoist decide to drag him into the battle with the demon king?
He still could not figure out an answer. He decided to just leave it behind. He increased his shifting light and decided that after bringing Ruoxi back to the mountain, he had to complete the Wing of Wind and Lightning shifting method.
