Chapter 591: Master The Techniques and Forget Its Principle

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

To claim Qing Xuan was the first was destroying a talent by overpraising. On a side note, it did prove Shen Lian’s ability. Shen Lian’s return to Xiliang calmed most of the forces. This was because the countries in the Netherworld and their forces would not take Xiliang lightly even though Xiliang had a few cultivators.

Owning a country, Shen Lian would not act recklessly and would follow some of the rules. This thought put most of the people at ease.

Before Shen Lian perished, nobody would initiate to conquer Xiliang. This was because not one force could withstand the revenge of such a celestial.

Rarely people would notice the difference between Shen Lian, Emperor Xia, and Tianyi. Emperor Xia and Tianyi’s successes were related to the bloodline and home country. On the other hand, Shen Lian owed Chen Jing her karma. Few days after his birth, he managed to regain Xiliang. Hence, in other words, Shen Lian contributed more towards the country.

For Emperor Xia and Tianyi, they could find a way to give up the relationship with their home country because it was not tied to karma. However, they were too indulged in it. They would not let it go unless they could achieve the total merciless or Taishang Wangqing.

Everything had its Yin and Yang. The human may be selfish but they would have a generous side. At most was one side was dominant of the other. It was difficult to remove one side totally. Although Shen Lian had a carefree attitude, he still could not give up on Qing Xuan. Nonetheless, it was not as extreme as Zhang Ruoxu’s case.

Sitting in the Xuandu Temple, by the Yin-Gathering Spring, Shen Lian’s spiritual body could not be seen. What was left was the black and white Qi. In between, there was the sky, earth, mountain, swamp, water, fire, wind, and lightning. All the natural forces collided and attached to the milky way. Pure music also surrounded the place. Finally, all the odd scenes faded. Shen Lian let off a deep breath. There was no sign of the black and white but it was misty.

The breath caused rainfall. The peach trees that absorbed the rainwater bloomed the peach blossoms.

The flower bloom was not caused by Shen Lian’s breath. It accumulated a lot of vitality throughout the whole winter and the rainfall was just a kindle.

The peach blossom in Xuandu Temple bloomed but the Daoist, Liu Mengde who planted the peach tree had left. He originated from Xuanzhen Temple and since Shen Lian returned, he kept his promise and left.

Although the Daoist left, the peach trees were still there. These years, it grew well, absorbing spiritual vigor to increase its soulful aura. Besides that, the gloomy vital force from the Netherworld was good for the Silvan Elves. A few years later, the Silvan bogeys might take a form of a body.

However, for human and the demon beasts, the heavy Yin energy was not a good situation. Cultivators who had lower cultivation experience would felt that their mana stopped growing. If the situation did not turn for the better, after a prolonged period, Qi cultivator had to stress on the path of Ghostly Spirits and Sacrificial Ritual. Subsequently, they had to emphasis on The Art of Spiritual Enhancement.

Cultivating Dao of the physical body was vigorous. Hence, the cultivation would bring success easily. Although Xia Clan’s bloodline was richly endowed by nature, they could not help to go downhill in this circumstances.

Shen Lian sighed secretly. The ruin of Xia Kingdom was fated. There were many factors that led the Xia Kingdom to the losing side. In addition, his actions, intentionally and unintentionally, prompting the fall of Xia Kingdom.

However, the ups and downs of this path of cultivation made one stood at a higher level. This enabled Shen Lian to understand the operation theory of the laws of heaven.

For someone who was familiar with Shen Lian, it was not hard to notice the vibe of solitariness on him. It was just like the galaxy without the stars.

A galaxy without the stars was the start of everything and the creation of nature. Legend said that, during the birth of Pangu, he felt that very lonely and that the heaven and earth looked like chicken. Hence, he separated heaven from earth and created the world. This proved that solitariness and creation of nature had a relation.

Shen Lian observed the changes on his body. He was filled with pleasure as he was closer to Taiyi.

During this time, he made divided Li Yuanliang and his three brothers into Four Symbols, each taking a troop. Each troop was formed by the four supernatural powers, namely, the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermillion Bird and the Black Tortoise. As their fighting capacity increased, Shen Lian could go for a solitary retreat in peace. He would precipitate his harvest and turn those into sentiments.

Without Guan Longzi’s essence of Lianshanyi, Shen Lian still would be able to figure the things he lacked to reach Taiyi.

Previously, he was confused by the legend. The legend said that human could be created. Hence, he thought by finding the right materials, he would be able to create nature spiritually. In reality, the key point for the creation of spiritual nature was not about the materials.

To create nature, it had to be made by the void. Then, from nothingness formed the spirit. When he was trapped in the small world left by the Founding Master Qingshui in the Zifu Peak, he saw the creation of soil on the edge, bit by bit. This was all from the void.

The core, derived from Qi of the origin, turned into something.

The origins of Five Elements of Yin and Yang could be said as the base of natural creation.

If Shen Lian understood these, he would know the importance of Taixu strategy.

The path of Taixu had to be complemented with the Taixu technique and the basics of Five Elements of Yin and Yang. Thus, the mystery of Deficiency and Excess could be solved. He could then create nature and achieve the state of Taiyi.

This was a meticulous job and a little bit of good luck.

His accomplishments in Taixu strategy may not lose to the Founding Master of Qingshui. However, he was not the founder of Taixu strategy. Hence, the technique of Five Elements of Yin and Yang and the teachings of the path to Five Elements of Yin and Yang were not his Five Elements of Yin and Yang.

That was the reason Shen Lian had to forgo the teachings and techniques; to complete the path.

Shen Lian had separated the Five Elements of Yin and Yang from the Founding Master of Qingshui in the Taixu strategy. He was thankful for Qianmo’s mysterious Qi. It was also one of the origins of the Five Elements. Furthermore, the origins of the Five Elements had no strong conscious. It belonged to the Taichu. It was formed naturally before the universe so it was untouched and undusted.

Shen Lian tapped onto that to realize his Five Elements.

The Dao of Yin and Yang was gained fully from the Founding Master Qingshui and the grandmaster Ziling. Hence, he had to return.

To forget the technique, it is not as simple as it seems. Master the techniques and forget its principle while forgetting its principle would gain techniques. Everything has a start and an end to complete a cycle.

Shen Lian had found a solution for this but the key was Zimu River.

Zimu River would cause a girl pregnant without intercourse. Hence, it actually had indescribable abstruse.

Pregnancy would not occur without the male or the female. But, Zimu River broke this law of nature.

Moreover, Zimu River exists on earth. Hence, it means that it still obeys the law of nature. There will be a reason behind this existence.

The ability for a woman to give birth to children came from the Dao of Yin and Yang Unity. Xiliang women were no exception.

Zimu River filled up the gap for women to make them pregnant.

The reason behind giving birth to a daughter was probably related to the soulful aura of Zimu River. The soulful aura was subjected to Yin within the Yang. However, this theory had to be rectified.
