Daoist Master Of Qing Xuan Chapter 665 - Golden Pitcher

Chapter 665 - Golden Pitcher

Ultimately, Jing Shu did not have the nuanced state of Dao as Shen Lian had. Hence, she was unable to discover this secret. Nonetheless, her Kunpeng demonic form was truly exceptional for it had supported her to this state and it could support her subsequently.
Her tender skin had lost most of its moisture and some parts of her flesh had started to decay. The pain of nails piercing into her flesh was unbearable. Nevertheless, this intensity of pain was not compatible with the Band-tightening Spell.
The heavy mist became denser. Although Jing Shu and Shen Lian were in close proximity, they could not see each other. The mist started to swirl like a gliding gigantic snake and engulfed both of them.
Shen Lian opened his eyes carelessly. Finally, they have reached the last moment.
Internally, Shen Lian lowered his validation of this Yellow River of nine provinces Formation. This was because its dwindling stage caused by extreme thriving had happened too early. Clearly, the person who laid this formation did not understand the Three Spheres sufficiently. If Empress Yun Xiao laid this formation herself, even if it was not complete, he would still be in enormous danger.
However, this did not mean that Shen Lian could belittle this person for he knew that this opponent would not only have a single technique. Of course, everything must wait until he had butchered that snake-like mist.
It was created from the condensation of all Yellow River of nine provinces Formation's mighty force. Despite Shen Lian had concealed his mind and spirit within the seed of heaven and earth, he was still uncontrollably perturbed.
He knew that this indicated the destabilization of his Primordial Spirit. If he extracted his Primordial Spirit from the seed of heaven and earth, the situation would only worsen.
The snake twisted its body and entangled Shen Lian in circles. When viewed afar, it seemed that there was a gigantic snake entwining a young lad amongst black mist. The snake contracted gradually and it seemed that the young lad would ultimately end up as a pool of blood.
Though Jing Shu felt much better, she was still attacked by the pervasive mist. Moreover, her demonic form was severely damaged and had no energy left.
When she saw Shen Lian, she thought, "Is he someone of no use?"
Shen Lian was completely enveloped by the gigantic snake. The snake's circulating body appeared like levels of the pagoda where the ground level of the nine-storied building had Shen Lian securely suppressed.
Jing Shu was shaken aside. All she could do was to witness Shen Lian being completely engulfed by the gigantic snake.
Given that she originated from the Kunpeng clan, she had occult techniques to survive in desperate circ.u.mstances. However, Shen Lian was not worth her help. Moreover, the price she had to pay in order to perform that occult technique was unbearable. Nevertheless, sister Kui Li seemed to have a good relationship with him and Jing Shu did not want Shen Lian to collapse.
When she was in dilemma, Shen Lian was surrounded by complete darkness. His senses only managed to detect darkness.
All sounds had vanished. At the same time, he knew that his Primordial Spirit was weakening at an unprecedented speed. Even the seed of heaven and earth could not protect him from this crisis.
Shen Lian seemed to have fallen into a state alike to the time when the world was first created. A state where karma was unknown, misfortunate trials were hidden and supernatural powers were unfounded. However, his heart of Dao became clearer and the Dao of Yi was churning speedily. Ultimately, this enabled him to 'witness' an image. It was a Golden Pitcher. With a look of the pitcher, he knew that it signified the birth of heaven and earth, everything had begun fresh anew.
It seemed that the seed of heaven and earth was also influenced by this vital force such that it started to bud.
There was a flow of l.u.s.ter between his brows. The image of the Golden Pitcher deeply influenced the seed of heaven and earth. The seed started to change and grew eventually. It ultimately became a smaller version of the Golden Pitcher.
Shen Lian carefully investigated the location of the Golden Pitcher. Without hesitation, he attacked with a punch. That attack comprised all of his useable mana. A hole was blasted out of the snake's body. Given that the last punch landed in emptiness, cracking sounds were heard.
Inexplicably, a wail reverberated in the space. A Golden Pitcher appeared and swirled continuously when it was punched. Eventually, it disappeared like sand and left no tracks behind.
When the Golden Pitcher vanished, the gigantic snake also disappeared like sand. It was untraceable. What was left were Shen Lian's weary spiritual appearance and festered flesh. These were indications of his previous sufferings.
Jing Shu said, "That was Huanyuan Jindou?"
"It was just an illusionary image. Now I understand why Huanyuan Jindou comprised the word 'Huanyuan'," said Shen Lian softly.
"Why is it so?"
"Huanyuan signified the heaven and earth. It was also because Huanyuan Jindou was witnessed during the time when heaven and earth were founded. I have understood this point," Shen Lian spread his hands. Gradually, a clear light appeared in his palms and transformed into a Golden Pitcher. It had a dim and minute vital force. The remaining mist entered the Golden Pitcher as if they had found their parent body.
Jing Shu asked surprisingly, "You also have the Huanyuan Jindou?"
"You can say that, but this is not completely true. Apart from Huanyuan itself, Huanyuan Jindou also comprised the essence of the Degenerate Age's way of Dao. I have not comprehended this. Though these remaining mist can be utilized to frighten others, it cannot be used against powerful figures," said Shen Lian carelessly.
However, Shen Lian's greatest attainment was enabling the seed of heaven and earth to bud. This attainment was more significant than attaining any other treasures.
Although it was not a major breakthrough in his cultivation, this meant much to him in a long-term. He could even conceal everything about himself in it and force his own heaven and earth into a space-time of endless chaos. There would be nobody who can capture him, with the exception of Daoists and Buddhas.
After all, space-time had no limitations. Only the Buddha's Eye of Wisdom could perceive everything clearly.
He understood why Sanxiao from the legend of Investiture of the Gods could easily defeat anyone who was below the level of a Daoist. Even the twelve Golden Celestials of Lianchan sect was rid of their attainment. The complete version of Huanyuan Jindou was too terrifying. Moreover, it was a righteous path of Dao. No wonder Sanxiao was able to be so haughty.
Nonetheless, Shen Lian's Huanyuan Jindou which was borne from the seed of heaven and earth was ultimately an empty shell. It was not compatible with the level of the painting of Mounts and Rivers of the Gods of Earth and Vale.
The sound of waves outside Bi You Palace remained the same. Lady Mother of the Chariot had a stern gaze. She had never thought that Shen Lian could pass the Yellow River of nine provinces Formation. Although the formation was not as powerful as the one laid by Yun Xiao herself it was still an emulation of the formation that severely defeated the Chan sect.
She felt an indescribable sense of helplessness at this very moment. However, she could not admit her own failure. No matter how things had developed, she would never give Bi You Palace to others.
When this will was present, she had an infinite source of fury. It burned her own heart of Dao.
Kui Li was also stunned. When she walked out into the main hall, she saw the body of Lady Mother of the Chariot being engulfed in burning flames. Even a Holy girl like her was fearful of that flame.
Lady Mother of the Chariot did not seem to realize the changes of her body. She appeared to be a little deranged. Amidst the flames, her body started to become transparent. Kui Li took notice of her chest, there laid a heart. However, it was shrinking at a speed that was identifiable by sight. It ultimately disappeared into nothing.
The flames then subsided at a speed that was also identifiable by sight. Lady Mother of the Chariot cast a glance towards Kui Li. Surprisingly, she was no longer furious. She was unusually calm or perhaps, somewhat indifferent.
Kui Li hesitated for a while before she asked, "What happened to you?"
