Daoist Master of Qing Xuan

Qing Xiao drew out the long sword, and the buzzing of the sword could pierce through even the bull’s roar. The cold gleam of the sword lunged towards the beautiful woman in white without hesitation.

In that moment, Wu Qingzi calmly walked towards the altar which was enclosed by the milky way water curtain.

Shen Lian was immersed entirely in the activation of the Mark of Mountains and Rivers. He blocked out all disturbances from the external environment, and even neglected the terrifying aura of the green bull in front of him.

The Mark of Mountains and Rivers was not the scariest technique in Qing Xuan, but it had a grand boldness was uncomparable among the techniques in Qing Xuan.

The importance of technique was not about the quantity but the quality.

Since he entered immortality, his cultivation experience and mana had improved to an unimaginable state.

Now that the Mark of Mountains and Rivers was formed, all the profound meanings began to appear in his Daoist heart like breathing. He could feel the real meaning of the Mark of Mountains and Rivers. At the beginning of time, the earth had nothing. It was clear and lonely, until one day there appeared the running rivers, and the tall standing mountains. They had brought the changes to this bare land.

The river was its blood, and the mountain its soul.

The Mark of Mountains and Rivers could only release its maximum power when the Qi of Essence and the spirit were fused into one.

Primordial meant the Qi and the spirit meant the soul. The primordial spirit was the fusion of Qi of essence and the soul. It had the characteristics of the physical and the spiritual. It was another form of life, and it exceeded the limitations of characteristics of living creatures.

Shen Lian’s heart was a blur. In a confused state, his Qi of essence and spirit began to circulate in a unique way, which flowed into the mark of mountains and rivers.

The monstrous mana was surging, and it began to bury the blur void in front.

Two horrifying powers were clashing, and the repercussions could break mountains and reverse the flow of water in a river.

The green bull let out an angry roar, and the two horns’ divine lights glowed even stronger. They were burning like the sun, with a strong will for battle.

It was a magical creature with noble bloodline. Even though it did not shapeshift, its horrendous power demands that an immortal Zhenren treat it seriously. The will of battle had an unassailable murderous Qi surrounding the bull’s head. It never stopped.

Waves and waves of Qi of vitality, along with the roar of the sea were clashing the Mark of Mountains and Rivers. The imaginary mountains and rivers were standing tall. They were not shaken.

The elephant was shapeless.

When the power between the green bull and Shen Lian clashed, there was no loud roar which could shake the heaven and earth. The heaven and earth fell into silence, but the void between the two of them became layered, and odd phenomena began to occur. There was a bright moon on top of the sea, and there were suddenly peaks that were ten thousand feet tall. There were roaring rivers, mysterious palaces and endless forests.

These images belonged elsewhere, it occured as the two’s attack pierced through space and bent light. The human and the bull fell into some form of silence.

The bull’s eyes began to let out a purple fume. It got even more mysterious. Along with that was the body which was akin to that of a small hill. It was looking down at everything, like the king of beasts.

The clear light in its eyes were like giant light pillars which were shining at Shen Lian, but as it got close to Shen Lian, it began to dissipate.

Shen Lian stood quietly on the ground. Behind Shen Lian, the ground was normal, but the ground in front of him was a deep hole which seemed bottomless. It clearly demonstrated the damage caused by the battle between him and the green bull.

Even with this terrifying exchange, the Qi of vitality in the surrounding did not seem to exceed that of Shen Lian. One could tell how terrifying Shen Lian was.

Shen Lian was like a tall mountain and a huge river. He formed an obstacle which could not be stepped over by anything. Nothing could affect the battle between his grandmaster and the beautiful woman in white.

A broken heaven courtyard was lonely, but Shen Lian was here, his divine aura burning independently. His expression was solemn, and he was forming the mark in a serious manner. There were five-colored lights surrounding him like the sunset mist. It seemed to reflect that he was the ancient deity which ruled over the mountain and river.

The green bull moved, and there was a cold light that flashed through its purple eyes. It did not say anything. It wanted to crush Shen Lian with all his power.

Strength could break ten thousand techniques. If the strength was sufficiently large, all Daoist techniques or supernatural power would be jokes. They were like paper tigers which seem fierce but could not even take one hit.

It was a natural mutant and it stood at a high position since birth, and hence it never had the thought to shapeshift into a human.

This human was strong and indeed powerful. It wanted to crush him.

Shen Lian methodically set up the mark, it was still the Mark of Mountains and Rivers, but it was now different. He blended his divine aura into the mark with an unbelievable speed. All of a sudden the heaven and earth began to buzz.

Then a green divine light was out, and it turned into a green divine peak on top of the green bull’s back.

The green bull just stopped for a while, then it continued to rush forward.

While the mountain was heavy, it could still move underneath it.

Shen Lian behaved leisurely. He dispatched another streak of yellow divine lights, which turned into a yellow divine peak on top of the green divine peak.

The green bull stopped for a while. The roar continued to shake the heaven and earth. It kept propelling forward.

Shen Lian sent in a red divine light, and the red peak continued to stack on the green and yellow divine peaks.

He subsequently ejected black and white divine lights, and they turned into two divine peaks.

A total of five divine peaks were on top of the green bull. It could not support the weight anymore. It sank into the deep hole which was formed from their battle previously. Carrying the five divine peaks, where green, yellow, red, black and white lights of the five-colored divine peaks were circulating, and formulating a special prohibition which entrapped him.

Shen Lian’s expression was indifferent, but his spirit was lifted – he never felt so happy before. He finally upgraded the Dao of Five Elements to his own supernatural power.

The five divine peaks were all formed based on the Mark of Mountains and Rivers and the five elements of Qi of essence. Once they were formed, there would be no end to them. They would be connected to heaven and earth. Even if the green bull had a huge reserve of Mana, it would not be able to escape in a short while.

He did not bother with where the wild bull came from. His attention was shifted towards Wu Qingzi.

Wu Qingzi’s white hair was flowing in the wind, looking otherworldly. Outside of the altar, he attempted to break the milky way water curtain. When he noticed Shen Lian had kept the green bull under control using the five-element divine peaks, he was stunned.

Shen Lian spoke, “My friend Wu Qing, if you leave now, I can let you go.”

Wu Qingzi did not answer. At this stage, if he could not get the item at the altar, every prior effort would come to naught.

One had to know that the green bull had a powerful background, even the respected Daoists in the sect would have to pay respect to it. It was not because of his position or bloodline, but because of its divine strength which was not below divine forms of the Jingang or the Gigantes. He did not believe that Shen Lian could trap the green bull for long, and he too doubted that after Shen Lian kept the green bull under control, he would have much energy left.

With that reason, it was impossible for Wu Qingzi to give up.

Shen Lian’s expression was cold as he headed towards Wu Qingzi step by step. The deep footsteps seemed to come from the Nine Underworlds, representing death. His sword aura was akin the drizzle, which was omnipotent. Wu Qingzi felt shocked.

Wu Qingzi’s fear turned into anger. Above his head there appeared an ancient tower, which was releasing some yellow Qi. It blocked away Shen Lian’s sword aura.
