As Chi Songzi was an ancient celestial, he could predict and estimate very well. Hence, it was not surprising for him to know about Shen Lian. The reason why Shen Lian raised this question was that he knew that Chi Songzi did not know about him through prediction.
Shen Lian was so certain over this matter because he had obtained profuse attainments. Those who have reached the state of holy deities would be able to be informed about antecedents and deduce future outcomes through prediction. Although this was not a difficult technique, there was a point which could not be neglected. That is if you were predicting about someone who was compatible with yourself, he might realize about your prediction. Even if he was not able to determine who was the one predicting, he would be alarmed.
However, Shen Lian was not alarmed this time around.
As such, when one had reached supreme stages, their attacks would be as straightforward as child’s play. This was because when one was at a supreme stage, it was rather difficult to use fancy techniques. Hence, they would use their techniques overtly.
Of course, this was not absolute. For instance, with the use of both Shen Lian’s innate Dao of Yi and Shangqing’s Art of Spiritual enhancement, he might succeed in his examination of Daluo figures.
However, it was difficult for others to possess the abilities Shen Lian had.
Although Chi Songzi was famed, he might not have these abilities.
Chi Songzi smiled and said, “I know about Zhenren Shen because you and I share a fate.”
Shen Lian, “What do you mean?”
Chi Songzi mentioned, “Did you know that I have an honorific called Zhenren Taixu?”
Countless information passed through Shen Lian’s mind and he obtained a piece of information eventually. He said, “Indeed, that is true. Is my cultivation of Taixu strategy related to you?”
Chi Songzi smiled and said, “There are some relations. When Lord of Dao Qingshui’s reincarnation was experiencing the worldly trial, he once saw me at this Stone Palace.”
Shen Lian was not surprised by the fact that the palace was termed as the Stone Palace for jade was a form of stone.
Being able to perceive jade as stone meant that one had reached a certain state. This indicated that Chi Songzi was no longer blinded by appearances and could perceive ingenuous organic forms.
Shen Lian smiled and said, “Founding Master Qingshui had learned Dao from you before. I am rather curious. Is it possible to have you share the details with me?”
Chi Songzi’s gaze landed on Shen Lian. It seemed that there was lightning in his eyes. This was termed as the production of energy amidst void. It was an electrical spark produced by the condensation of wisdom. Only Great saints and wise people had this unique trait.
He spoke plainly, “I have forgotten the questions she asked. However, I could still recall some words of mine. Are you willing to listen?”
Shen Lian said, “Please share it with me.”
Chi Songzi said, “In the world, life encompasses Yin Qi and Yang Qi. Though the God of heaven is supremely noble, his function is displayed in the earth; though the God of Earth is inferior, his function is displayed in the heavens. Although the heaven does not speak, four seasons would still occur; although the earth does not speak, living things would still grow. Amidst all these, humans live freely. Nonetheless, the heaven and earth are aware of humans’ breath and movements. The only person who has nothing and remains unknown to the heaven and earth is termed Taixu.”
Shen Lian clapped and said, “Heaven and earth were born from the notion of having while the notion of having come from nothingness. As such, the organic form of things is nothingness. Prior to the where dust was amassed, there was nothing in the world. I believe that the Taixu Strategy was founded as Lord of Dao Qingshui had understood this notion.”
Chi Songzi smiled and said, “Zhenren Shen, you think too highly of me. Even if Chi Songzi does not exist in this world, Lord of Dao Qingshui would also be able to understand the essence of Taixu strategy. I merely provided him with some guidance at the right time.”
Shen Lian finally understood how Chi Songzi knew about him. The meaning of Taixu strategy was somewhat related to Chi Songzi. The supernatural Dao techniques of such an ancient celestial might not be as sophisticated or changeable like that of the current holy deities. However, in terms of the understanding of heaven and earth’s natural principles, ancient celestials were much able than holy deities.
Originally, when people like Chi Songzi started to cultivate, they would be unable to attain any techniques. Many of their enlightenments were obtained through the natural principles of heaven and earth. Hence, their understanding of the great attainment of uniting the universe and human was much better than the others. As he cultivated the Taixu Strategy, Chi Songzi was able to sense his presence through the meaning of Taixu.
If this was the case, Shen Lian had another query. He raised the question since he had thought of it, “Do you know the whereabouts of my founding master, Fairy Ziling?
Chi Songzi said, “You have misunderstood my abilities. I am not able to track everyone’s movements. I can only track yours. However, with regard to your question, I do know some information about her whereabouts.”
He paused for a moment and continued, “If you want to find her, you may want to head north towards the Ziwei Galaxy.”
At this point in time, a female disciple of Chi Songzi placed two teacups in front of them. Subsequently, she put two pieces of jade into the teacups. The jade transformed into crystal-clear water in an instant and had an indescribable fragrance.
Chi Songzi said, “My place is rather shabby. Thus, I can only serve you with this exquisite wine.”
He held the teacup and drank the wine. Subsequently, nine of his orifices seemed to have opened and started to release dense purplish gas which looked like divine dragons. In the depths, it appeared like the sun, moon, and stars. It was closely similar to a human-shaped universe.
Shen Lian also drank the wine. When that liquid entered his body, there was an instant burst of heat. This was the extreme condensation of spiritual force. Even if figures like Fahai had this drink, his Primordial spirit might explode.
For many cultivators, this drink was both a supreme holy water and poison.
Nevertheless, Shen Lian would not be poisoned to death. There were no changes in his appearances. Moreover, it seemed like every part of his body was reborn.
If his body was enlarged, one would be able to see that his form was built by infinite little worlds.
Throughout the formation of these worlds, the explosive spiritual force was absorbed and used.
Chi Songzi was amazed and extolled, “Indeed, Zhenren Shen’s cultivation is very relatable to Daoist Master Shangqing.”
Shen Lian asked, “What do you mean?”
Chi Songzi mentioned slowly, “In the world, a total of eight Daoists appeared. Four from the Daoist sect, three from the Buddhist sect and one from the demon sect. The others belonged to illegitimate sects. Hence, they were not considered as Daoists. Did you know that The Three Pristine Daoist Masters were different from other Daoists?”
Shen Lian said, “I have heard of a theory. It states that The Three Pristine Daoist Masters were transformed by a single person. Was this what you intend to say?”
Chi Songzi shook his head and said, “Such a theory has been rumored since ancient times. However, since the Daoists did not provide any explanations, the others were not able to not verify such a claim. What I intend to say is not relatable to this rumor.”
…
The ocean-like five colored divine lights outside the Yuxu Palace in Kunlun Mountain had finally dispersed. This indicated that the owner of Yuxu Palace was more capable than Mahamayuri.
A Bodhi tree appeared at the stairs that led towards Yuxu Palace. Under the tree was a young and proud man.
The Bodhi tree gleamed brightly. The lights seemed like it could shine on the past and future. A flag rose in Yuxu Palace. When it swayed, the lights were dispersed and returned to the state of chaos.
The young man was Mahamayuri. Whenever the flag swayed, he would vomit a mouthful of fresh blood.
The flag swayed for nine times and Mahamayuri vomited nine mouthfuls of blood. Though he did not die, it would be difficult for him to survive.
He sat down slowly and glanced towards Yuxu palace. He pushed his hands forward. Instantly, countless svástika runes appeared and Kunlun Mountain was shaken.
Many who were observing this battle were stunned. That was because Mahamayuri’s palm method was Buddha’s masterpiece.
