It was the very first time someone blocked the doors of Mount Taicang since Yuming the Honored Celestial achieved Dao. It would have been a big news if this incident was spread out to the public.
But the people at the Jimo Peak had no clue what was happening at Mount Taicang.
Shen Lian entered the formation. Within a few breaths, the Five Ultimate Formations started to shake vigorously.
Moreover, Shen Lian’s sword aura was surging high. No matter how strong Chicheng’s mana was, he has suffered greatly from the seismic force of the earth recoiling that was equivalent to the force of supreme strength. His breath was all over the place and all he could do was ward off the attack. He has no strength to counterattack.
Looking at how vulnerable Chicheng was, a golden ray of light came out from the yellow fog.
It looked like a long bridge with crouching waves that resembled cloud dragons.
Vaguely, a gold mirror could be seen as the origin of the ray of gold light.
The impeccable gold light came charging towards Shen Lian.
Shen Lian released a ray of clear light and crushed it. The gold mirror showed no mercy and shined on Shen Lian, making him look like a gold foil.
However, after Shen Lian radiated the five colored gleam, the gold light flash through and vanished without a trace.
Shen Lian laughed, “An ant trying to shake a big tree; don’t bite off more than you can chew.”
Chen Mubai then appeared and was stunned. The gold light contained the five elements of gold essence that were as solid as steel. Taking a blow from the gold light would have caused him to bleed like a sieve but Shen Lian was still in one piece.
With a motion of Shen Lian’s arm, the yellow fog reversed direction and headed towards Chen Mubai and engulfed him. Shen Lian’s Xuan technique was so refined that he could take anything in the universe and use them against others. Catching Chicheng off-guard, Shen Lian took the opportunity to take temporary control of the earth formation.
The gold light blasted through the yellow fog as Chen Mubai used the force of the ultimate gold formation to defend himself.
Chiheng secretly groaned as Chen Mubai fell into Shen Lian’s trap. The gold and earth elements were inter-restraining of each other. Chen Mubai’s move has prompted the Five Ultimate Formations to resolve by itself.
The Five Ultimate Formations were no longer unified and Shen Lian could summon them as he likes. Shen Lian indeed broke the Five Ultimate Formations effortlessly within a brief moment.
The surging Qi of vitality in the void gradually calmed down.
Chen Mubai realized that he made a terrible decision out of desperation.
A gush of liquid-like divine light came out from Chen Jianmei’s back. In a split second, it turned into an extremely long waterfall and the sound of water could be heard everywhere.
Gold and water would inter-generate and that cause the Qi of Xuan to increase greatly. A Daoist nun with a hand-held horsetail whisk appeared and said, “Greetings Zhenren Shen, my name is Shui Yanlan.” Her voice and her appearance looked like a woman in her prime.
In fact, she was a Powang-level cultivator and she specialized in the Dao of True Water.
Shui Yanlan and Chen Mubai aligned their spiritual vigor and directed it in between the gold light and waterfall. The gold light acted as a long bridge that transversed the waterfall. It spanned across the void and shined so brightly. It then developed into several gold-water killing techniques and aimed towards Shen Lian.
In a loud voice, Chen Mubai said, “Zhenren Shen, we will consider this a tie if you back down today. You better not make the wrong decision.”
The gold light instigated the water to produce raging waves. The combination of gold and water contained infinite potential.
Shen Lian was not angry. Instead, he laughed at the aggression of his opponent. He took a step forward and his spiritual vigor surged rapidly and threw Chicheng away within a breath. His mana was vast like oceans and mountains.
Chen Mubai’s collaboration with Shui Yanlan may seem unstoppable but they were defeated by Shen Lian’s savage spiritual vigor.
Shen Lian wielded his sword and it pinched on the gold light. The sword then transformed into a long sword and elongated towards one of Shui Yanlan’s arm and chopped it off.
Shui Yanlan was quick on her feet as she caught her arm and fixed it back. She then swallowed an elixir, but at the same time, the mutual generation of gold and water collapsed.
She has traveled around the world across the seven seas and yet she has never met someone so ferocious.
All Chen Mubai could do was hold Shen Lian back. His seven orifices were bleeding milky white blood.
Every drop of blood would weaken his cultivation experience, but he could not do much about it at such a crucial moment.
At that very moment, a red fire broke out from the thorns. People could hear sky-shattering, thunderous noises as the sparks flew across.
It turned out to be Guangqing’s Zhenren Huolong, who was the most vigilant of them all. He covered his tracks and when Shen Lian was fully focused on Chen Mubai, he began attacking.
The red fire wreathed around Shen Lian like a long cable. It had thunderbolts hidden in it that were forceful enough to split earth and crumble mountains. Even if Shen Lian was made of iron, such power would take him to the point of no return.
But Zhenren Huolong noticed that something was off. He then heard someone saying, “Stabbing someone from the back is not an act of a Daoist.”
He then noticed that Shen Lian was not in the center of the explosion. Instead, he had made his way up to the sky without anyone realizing. Shen Lian flexed his jade-like hand and within the blink of an eye, produced five colored rays as thunderous noises that could be heard from the sky.
After Shen Lian finished his sentence, the five colored lightning launched towards Zhenren Huolong.
Zhenren Huolong was a knowledgeable person and recognized the Dao’s True Thunder of the five elements. It was indeed impressive.
One blow of the True Thunder could turn a fire dragon, ‘Huo Long’, into a charred dragon.
A huge green wooden Goumang[1] appeared in the sky and blocked the True Thunder of the Five Elements.
The Goumang worked along the pace of the True Thunder of the five elements closely. As the True Thunder’s power faded, the Goumang too gradually vanished. It has nicely defended against the lightning.
A Daoist in a green robe appeared in the void. His skin seemed to be plump with vitality with no sign of decay. This person was Guangqing’s Zhenren Musang. He stepped in to help upon noticing that Zhenren Huolong was in danger.
It may seem like the green wooden Goumang aided greatly in defending against the True Thunder of the five elements, but the truth was that his mana was greatly shaken as his breath started to turn irregular.
The battle seemed extremely long even though it had only spanned the duration of several breaths.
The five of them realized Shen Lian’s ferocity and decided that it was best for them to unite together and attack at the same time. They no longer could afford to think about the Five Ultimate Formations.
Shen Lian too was not bothered by the situation as he let all five supreme manas charge towards him. He took a step out as if he was reaching for the heavens.
“After a long period of captivity, I can now return to nature,” Shen Lian sighed resoundingly.
Everyone who was present knew that from today onwards, there would only be immortal Zhenren Shen Lian, Land immortal Shen Lian and Shen Lian who was stepping into the state of celestialism and Buddhism. He was from a completely different world.
Right after Shen Lian made his statement, he looked like he has returned to freedom.
The sky turned gloomy as the earth started to tremble.
A dash of vague Qi of Xuan gushed out of Shen Lian’s Bai Hui point like the legendary Feihong, dashed a million miles upwards to the sky and spiraled towards the nine heavens.
The Yin and Yang of the void revolved for six times as the heavens and the land responded to it. The Dao was as deep as the ocean as millions of rays of golden light shone upon the void.
The gush of spiritual vigor was shocking like ocean tides.
The fishes in the pond below Jimo Peak leaped out of the water, greedily absorbing the abundance of Qi of vitality in the atmosphere. In a matter of minutes, they grew bigger by several feet.
