Daoist Master Of Qing Xuan Chapter 446 - How Time Flies

Chapter 446 - How Time Flies

Bai Yufei stared at the two lines of words on the desk, his heart filled with an inexplicable feeling of sadness but at the same time, a sense of relief.
It was like the experiences Shen Lian mentioned last night, and his outtake in life could be described with the phrase 'How often does one get to drink with the accompaniment of song and dance; like the morning dew that dissipates, how fast days go by'
In the end, gods and deities are just human, trapped in the vast sea of suffering without relief.
He carefully removed the desktop and pondered for a long time, finally putting it back to its original place. Regardless how precious the two lines are, they should not be removed for private possession nor should it be worshipped like God. That would not be what Shen Lian desired.
From then on, Bai Yufei married a farm girl and gave birth to children. He also told the children about the story of Shen Lian. It was passed down from generation to generation and Shen Lian's story has now become a myth.
...
Mount Qing Xuan did not experience the cold drizzling rain in spring, but a marvelous spectacle has occured at Zifu Peak - for a while, winter will come, with drifting snowfall; then after a while the winter cold will be replaced with spring, with flowers blooming and trees growing. At almost every moment in time, seasonal changes occurred at Zifu Peak, performing the transition between yin and yang.
Shen Lian returned from the springtime drizzle of Mount Qing Xia to the clear sight of this scene. Not only Shen Lian, but everyone from Qing Xuan saw it too.
Zhi Fu Peak is where Ziling fairy meditated. The remaining disciples and doyen have guessed that Ziling fairy - who has obtained the ingenious Dao of Yin and Yang, was the cause of the marvelous scenery, possibly due to a leak in the meaning of Dao in her attempt to comprehend a certain Mysterious Nihility Theory.
His feelings are in excellent condition, he felt that there was nothing to be worried about in the world. After all, he told the story and had wine to keep his emotions at bay.
Towards the battle with Yan Xu, his heart only harbored. He did not know what would the outcome be, but the process would surely be wonderful, because that would be the most exciting battle in his life, with someone on equal footing.
The battle with Chen BeiDou could be seen as a loss for both sides. However, in a sense, Shen Lian was forced to fight that battle. Since the beginning, compared to Chen Bei Dou, his skills were lacked slightly in comparison. Until the way of Dao obtained by the fake Lingbao Tianzun, enabling him to use the sword that transcends secularism - To become one with Dao sword.
However, the same could not be said with Yan Xu, both Yan Xu and Shen Lian were on par. From times past, both have achieved great accomplishments in this world.
This kind of achievement is not based on state and mana, but on an integrated level of considerations.
Shen Lian stepped over the River of Spirits, onto the soft grassland and went towards the depths of the Zifu Peak, seeing the falling leaves and pulling branches in Zhi Fu peak, seeing the cold and winding clouds gather together.
Past the Taiwei Pavilion, past the withered willow that only sprouts but does not grow new leaves, and went into the depths of Zifu Peak.
Wrapped in silver, dazzlingly beautiful, a magical scenery, it left Shen Lian in wonder.
Grandmaster Ziling donned a pale purple skirt of thin silk with a thin veil. It was like a soft cloud in the sky. Silky smooth waist-length hair even the world's best silk could not compare, it cascades freely like a waterfall, an indescribable leisure. With skin as white as white jade capable of putting people in a trance. Enviable, yet intimidating to look at.
A piece of paper that seemed like it was made from snow allowed her to flow the ink on her pen. A pair of yin yang fish settled onto the paper, as if alive. Intertwined and flowing together, forming an indescribable Dao rhythm.
Up till the very last stroke only did Zhi ling fairy saw Shen Lian that was next to her, as if she had just awoken from a dream.
Shen Lian silently observed the taichi Yinyang painting, attentively looking at the taichi painting that was alive, his mind and spirit experienced a mixed feelings of stillness and high-speed movement. The pair of Yinyang fishes, constantly moving, people cannot guess what would the tai chi painting look like the next moment.
As the flow of yin and yang fish continues to flow, a steady Dao rhythm between heaven and earth slowly converges, like a hundred rivers naturally flowing back to the sea.
What's even more exquisite is that the side of the scroll is written with the word 'Lingtai Fang Cunshan and Xie Yue Samsung'. It was precisely what Shen Lian wrote, as it has his vital force. This let Shen Lian and the painting to have an indescribable feeling of closeness.
After a long time, Shen Lian said: "Everyone knows grandmaster specializes in one, not seeking external Dao, but what they do not know is the great Dao begets One, and ends at one; meanwhile, the phrase 'One begets Two, Two begets Three, Three begets all things.' is just an illusion. Grandmaster uses one begets one, the path of Taixu is not far from being cultivated."
The Tai Chi in this painting was made by mimicking the Taiji painting of Taishang Daoist sect. However, after the gifted writing of Ziling Fairy, it is not restricted to the meaning of Dharma left by the Taishang Daoist Grandmaster. To inscribe Taixu strategy's Dao of Yin Yang between the ink and brush, it is only natural to leave no chisel marks behind.
Even though Shen Lian had experienced many unexpected encounters, in terms of Taixu strategy alone, he could not compare with the grandmaster.
Ziling smiled and said: "I will always have things to teach you, otherwise, I could not bear the title of your grandmaster."
Shen Lian can't help but sigh out of admiration, his heart filled with regret. It was evident from the calligraphy of the painting that the Grandmaster has obtained consummation, and no longer requires anything to aid her in transcending this world.
Maybe at this moment, or perhaps the next moment, Grandmaster will follow the footsteps of Grandmaster Yuan Qing and Grandmaster Qing Shui. They will cross the starry road to seek a higher level of transcendence instead of continuing to waste time remaining in this world.
It is precisely because of this that distinguished Lu Jiuyuan from any accomplished Taoist in heavens and earth. He transcended and broke through an even higher level in this world itself, and he stepped out of the path that no one had ever passed.
If it weren't for the fact that this person has crossed the galaxy, his location unknown, perhaps Shen Lai and Yan Xu would not be able to set themselves as the prime belief of this world.
Shen Lian whispered: "Master Zu, I initially hoped that you would remain in this world longer. However, to have only discovered what you have always been willing. People like us, to stay or to leave, how can we hesitate. Although extremely reluctant, a resolve must be made."
Zi Ling smiled and said: "Shen Lian, to be able for you to successfully cultivate Taixu strategy, what lies therein was definitely not your blessing. For you to be able to cultivate the Taixu strategy is definitely worthy of Grandmaster Qingshui's admiration. Taking this road, we are nothing but struggling people groping in the dark. Compared to the countless, ignorant beings, it is the greatest test for you and me to grasp just how hopeless this darkness is.
But your biggest difference is that darkness does not make you helpless, but you readily accept all the darkness in your life, and you can have a bright future. This is what Yan Xu could not fare against you. Therefore, he will surely be defeated by you. What the Grandmasters can do is only make a footing for your victory. "
Shen Lian profoundly understood the preciousness of the Grandmaster's words, far-reaching the newly painted taichi painting. Because this is a fair and just evaluation given by a Supreme Daoist Cultivator, giving him confidence.
He bowed deeply, and said: "The result will only be clear at the very last moment, but Shen Lian guarantees, I will fulfill Uncle-Master Xu's cause, Master Biyun's cause, and all the teacher-elder's that I have never met; otherwise, Shen Lian will never reincarnate, sinking into the six realms and never escaping."
