Chapter 433 - Conditions
Tianmeng fairy was witnessing what happened in the sky, recalling the conversation with Yanxu in the past.
She and Yanxu were at this same location, Yanxu asked her, "do you know what technique is Sky Demon most fearful of?"
She said, "definitely the Thunder Technique."
Yanxu smiled and said, "you"re right. Or else Shen Lian wouldn"t use his heart to heart seal and Five Thunder Strike to test me."
She asked in return, "you suddenly mention about this, could there be something mysterious about it?"
Yanxu had his hands clasped behind his back and said, "there are countless of Thunder Technique in this world but if you were to name the most powerful Thunder Technique, there are only a few. One of it has Qing Xuan"s Sehnxiao True Technique. Ever since Chonghe invented Sehnxiao True Technique, Lingsu tried to make up and finally, there was Zhichang that trained this true technique up to the ninth layer, using the cultivation experience of Pow.a.n.g State to rebuild an immortal Zhenren that cultivated the demon arts. It"s world-shaking. This shows that Sehnxiao True Technique already pried on the essence of the Thunder Technique."
"So what does it mean?" She was curious at that moment.
"After Zhichang, there was n.o.body else in this world who could train the Sehnxiao True Technique to the ninth layer. But now there"s one," Yanxu"s eyes were quiet, as though they could see through the thousand miles of stratus and noticed somewhere far away.
"The person couldn"t be your, or Shen Lian, right?" She continued asking.
"Shen Lian had Taixu Strategy, he could produce millions of techniques and thus he wouldn"t learn this. Whereas for me, I already attained the Sky Demon Body, if I were to learn the Thunder Technique again, it"d be finding faults for myself. The person I meant is the youngest of the Five Celestials of Guangqing, Lin Xuanting.
"How could he? Is it because of you?" She thought of a possibility at that moment. She was very shocked because this man"s motive was too scary and cunning.
"You"re right. Although I don"t learn, it"s not difficult to understand the Dao meaning behind Sehnxiao True Technique. Together with Xuanwei of the Sky Demon method, it invaded his heart and soul quietly. Lin Xuanting fought with the guy from Underworld Demon sect in Yin mountain, he thought that he finally got the Thunder Technique but he did not realize that I was the one who used the resentment from his killing of the demon army to pa.s.s him the essence of Sehnxiao True Technique. The more essence he got, the more he would absorb my Sky Demon meaning," Yanxu was smiling but Tianmeng realized that this man could be as terrifying as possible.
Who would even think that the ingenious Dao was a type of poison? The more you got, the more serious the poisoning was. In the end, it would make you so addicted to it that you would not even realize that your life or death was under the control of somebody else"s hand.
Moreover, Yanxu"s Sky Demon method was getting more delicate. He could simply set a trap that looked totally natural. After all, no matter how careful Lin Xuanting was, he would not say no to improving his cultivation.
Even the immortal Zhenren had not necessarily broken away from greed, wrath, and obsession. Yanxu merely took advantage of his greed on the path of eternity but this had easily framed an immortal Zhenren up. She would not even be able to think of this kind of tricks in the past.
Her memories flashed by and she continued to look at what was happening in the sky. It saddened her but also frightened her at the same time. What if she had the same ending as that person?
Tianmeng fairy realized that the purpose of Yanxu telling her these things was also to deter her.
For example, like now, she did not dare to make any move, all she did was to observe the fight in the sky.
Lin Xuanting transformed into sword gleam and he involuntarily flew towards Yuming in an attempt to kill him. His mind was filled with all sorts of realizations about the Thunder Path and even the abstruse Dao. This felt intoxicated but why was his body not in his control? He integrated with the sword and the target was unexpectedly his Senior Apprentice-Brother and Apprentice-Nephew.
Instantly, Yuming cast 13 divine lights but that did not help. Lin Xuanting was fast like the speed of the wind. The thunder-producing sword gleam penetrated through all the s.h.i.+elds with a clean sweep and it made Yuming and Huanzhen fell into the thunder lake at the same time.
Yanxu already did not bother about what was happening with Yuming, because he already had this planned earlier on. The ending would only be neither side won. No matter how bad it was, he was still able to hold on to this side and allowed him to pay attention to face Qingxiao"s strike that contained The Everlasting Taiyin.
When Qingxiao struck, she already knew about Yanxu"s plan but she was not surprised. She did not have to strike only at the Yanxu"s weakest time, all she needed was to have her sword force to reach a peak then she could do everything accordingly.
With her state of The Everlasting Taiyin now, n.o.body in this world could easily avoid this strike.
This strike that resolved antecedents was only for excitement.
Clear frost covered the entire sky. When one strike pierced through, there was a long sword"s mark left quietly and secludedly. However, it felt as though there was nothing left in this world that could stop the extending sword"s mark.
The sword gleam entered The District of Sky Demon like it came piercing from the air into the sea. However, this strike"s elegance did not disappear just like this. Instead, it split open The District of Sky Demon and made it shatter into pieces.
It turned into black particles that tangled on Qingxiao"s sword gleam as though they wanted to pull it into the Nine Underworlds to sink forever.
Then, the Qingxiao sword emitted groaning of the sword, the sound that broke the higher stratus.
Qingxiao was holding a long sword in the void and she looked cold while walking. Instantly there was a sharp murderous intent that shattered the black particles into dust.
Yanxu could feel the murderous intent was exquisitely sharp that it made him feel as though the center of his eyebrows were holding on to a heavy item and he felt unhappy.
Qingxiao holding her sword and ran to Yanxu. She held the long sword and approached the center of his eyebrows to split open his ancestral cavity.
She split his body from one to two parts. Qingxiao pa.s.sed through in between of the two parts but a strange thing happened. Yanxu"s body that was split into two was like mud. After wiggling, it formed two identical Yanxu. Their vital forces were also exactly the same, it was impossible to differentiate who was real and who was not.
Qingxiao turned around while holding her sword. She was shocked.
Yanxu smiled and said, "Uncle-Master you"ve been hunting for me for ages. Even if I am stupid, I would"ve thought of ways to counterattack you. Even if you"ve learned The Everlasting of Taiyin, it shouldn"t be worse than the land immortals from the Tian Xianjing."
Qingxiao said, "you"re right. You"ve already learned the Sky Demon method to a stage whereby it"s difficult to differentiate between real and fake. With only The Everlasting of Taiyin, I can"t kill you."
The two Yanxu spoked at the same time, "Uncle-Master you can"t do anything to me, I also can"t do anything to you. Why don"t we just stop here, Apprentice-Nephew would repay you in the future."
Qingxiao said, "keep your trick of trying to confuse people"s minds, there"s nothing much we can talk about."
The two Yanxu came together and formed as one again. He smiled to Qingxiao, "why don"t you let me finish my sentence, Uncle-Master."
He paused and said, "if Apprentice-Nephew can lend Shen Lian a helping hand, would Uncle-Master let bygones be bygones and let go of our past grudges?"
Qingxiao"s face changed and said, "do you think I"ll trust you?"
Yanxu"s eyelids were slightly closing and he said, "Uncle-Master, aren"t you aware that there"s only one way to save Shen Lian and that"s to enter Mount Bier Fang Cun. But the ancestors of the four main Daoist sects used all their powers to seal up the Mount Bier Fang Cun. Each of them has a token. Unless you can collect all four tokens, it"d be impossible to open up the seal of the Mount Bier Fang Fun. Apprentice-Nephew already had the Tai Su Sect"s token in hand."
What he tried to imply was very clear. If there was no this token, Shen Lian could not enter the Mount Bier Fang Cun. The so-called help was merely to not cause more troubles.
