At that very moment, Shen Lian finally stepped into the state of abstruse.

Although he had decided to let nature take its course when it comes to immortality, he was still delighted and touched when he finally attained it. Not only did he break free from the limits of a person’s lifespan, he also finally found the freedom to roam around the universe like a bird. He need not pay heed to the miseries of the world, as this freedom was more precious than anything else.

No wonder Daoism emphasized on being at ease. Unless one experienced this personally, one would never understand that feeling.

The empty bier transformed into a void as vast as the universe and had no boundaries.

The extremely condensed spirit scattered to evolve into a sky full of stars with streams of the milky way spanning across the sky. The Milky Way Swordsmanship was indeed an authentic Xuanmen that complimented his cultivation and could even cleanse his spirit.

With great clarity, he felt the micro changes throughout heaven and earth. It was his first time experiencing such vivid and touching sensations.

No malice intentions of any being could stop him from viewing the real heaven and earth.

Now, he could stop doubting that everything in the past could have been just a dream. With such evolutions, there was no need to probe further.

He was not anyone else, it was just ‘himself’.

Endless streams of Qi of vitality of the heaven and earth gushed into his body as the entire Yuan Continent slightly tremored.

Every school and every cultivator set their gaze in the direction of Jimo Peak.

It had been over hundreds of years since someone attained immortality.

Some were happy, some were jealous, and some had hope in their eyes. The luckiest lot of all were the cultivators at Jimo Peak who had the opportunity to witness Shen Lian attain primordial spirit Celestialism to become an immortal Zhenren and step into the state of celestials and Buddha.

The five colored lights emerged from the void of the bier.

And immediately dashed into the Qi of Xuan in the atmosphere.

A marvel phenomenon was then manifested in the sky among the Qi of Xuan. Endless streams of Qi of vitality of the heaven and earth gushed into it as raging tides of spiritual vigor influenced the energy of countless beings.

The marvelous phenomenon released five colored microlights and within the span of a few breaths, there were storms rippling through the skies with thunderous roars.

It retracted as soon as it flashed and turned into micro dust, landing on Shen Lian’s bier. It left minimal traces of cinnabar on his brow, producing a stunning effect.

He opened his eyes, smiled at his five opponents and took a stroll around the void with his hands behind his back.

Clouds that hung like beads above of his head appeared as he moved towards the five opponents.

In the process of becoming a Primordial Spirit, Shen Lian attained the ferocity of the heavens and the earth and the pressure had immobilized the five people. Once Shen Lian mastered the Xuan techniques, all visions disappeared. Although the five of them knew that they were caught in a sticky situation, they were also glad that Shen Lian has just obtained Dao and may not necessarily be in his strongest form.

If you have to fight, you better throw the first punch.

That was the reason why the five of them stayed united and use every method they knew on Shen Lian.

Shen Lian did not have to do anything. As the methods and techniques touched the five colored microlights, they would be stripped down to their most basic forms and have zero impact.

This was the frightening part of the Dao of the Five Elements. Any techniques that were related to the five elements would be stripped down to their most basic forms in a blink of an eye.

He casually walked around and suddenly appeared in front of the five people.

The bystanders could not get a good view of it. All they could see was the five colored microlights that shined through the sky. Soon enough, the five Zhenrens fell from the sky and landed on their knees on Yuhua Tai.

Shen Lian completely ignored them and went to greet Chen Jianmei. He then transformed into a ray of light and disappeared.

Only the five of them knew that Shen Lian had easily eliminated their mana and turned them into ordinary beings. This was way more devastating then killing them.

Meanwhile, a million miles away, on the peak of a mountain, Chen Jianmei said, “You are so awe-inspiring after achieving immortality.” Apparently, Chen Jianmei noticed how effortlessly Shen Lian had stripped down the manas of his five opponents and he was deeply impressed by it.

Shen Lian shook his head and said, “At this point, the power of mana can’t be compared to cultivators who specialize in the nine states of cultivation. But this mana is not a big deal, it’s fine if I don’t have it. I was able to defeat them so easily because of the abstrusity of the Taixu Strategy. Their level of mana is not on par with mine and even if they outnumbered me, it would still mean nothing to me.”

He genuinely felt sentimental and it was indeed a different world after stepping into immortality.

No matter how much Qi of vitality you absorb or how condensed your mana was, you could never outdo the vital energy of the sun, the moon, and the stars.

The constant day-long flow of the Qingshui River that spanned three million miles too had a stronger mana than him. Even if he accumulated thousands and millions of years of cultivation experience, he would still not be able to outdo the river.

Heaped-up earth makes a mountain. But as it reached a certain height, the mountain would start to collapse.

This was because mountain ranges were formed by the pressure of geological processes and were the results of plate tectonics. The higher the peak, the more it would suffer from the invasion of the wind and rain. Moreover, the final height of a mountain would be affected by the ground.

Upon reaching this point, if one was still simply chasing the accumulation of mana, he would get a taste of his own medicine in the future.

Chen Jianmei responded, “Now that you have attained Dao, Qing Xuan would have a stable foundation. Let’s go and see the old man for one last time.”

Shen Lian sighed.

At that very moment, the entire Yuan Continent was trembling violently, far more intensely than the time Shen Lian attained Dao. In fact, the impact was as strong as the time when the Ultimate Demon King of the Ming Wang Temple transcended beyond the mortal world.

On Mount Taicang, Daoist Dengfeng’s elixir cauldron was frozen in the void. The True Samadhi Fire was rolling in the cauldron as it released smoke that filled the entire Lingxiao Palace.

Its divinity was like a prison that suppressed the mortal world.

There were tons of spiritual ingredients from the heaven and earth inside the cauldron and its spiritual liquid dyed the cauldron a golden yellow color. It released a nice scent and countless plants around the area adopted the fresh fragrance.

On the other hand, all the cultivators in Guangqing were burdened by an extreme force that shocked their soul. They had no means of using any single hint of their mana. The five celestials of Guangqing, with Yuming the Honored Celestial as their head, did not have the luxury to care about the disciples.

Not only did this crazy Daoist hijack the elixir cauldron and block the entrance, he also intended to rebel here. What a hateful person.

Ruoxi was beside the old Daoist as tears rolled down her cheeks. The old Daoist could not stop coughing blood as his body started to tear apart like a cracked turtle shell.

The only reason the Five Celestials of Guangqing did not attack was because of the enormous flock of thunderclouds that were condensed above the Lingxiao Palace. The situation was extremely tense and the five celestials were afraid to be involved with it.

Yuming the Honored Celestial looked at the old Daoist and switched his gaze to Ruoxi.

He knew exactly what the old Daoist was trying to do. Obviously, the old Daoist wanted to make a spiritual elixir to reform the spiritual shape of the girl and reset her karma.

It was hard to believe that he would do something against nature’s will. So it seems, he was about to enter Daoism anytime soon.

Yuming the Honored Celestial was somewhat relieved, as once the old Daoist departs, he would have one less rival. However, he also felt emotional. Fate is a funny thing. With Shen Lian who recently attaining Dao, this old Daoist followed through by departing.

Such circumstance was indeed well-planned. Looks like the spiritual elixir would be a success this time.
