Chapter 415: Rain Ceremony

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shen Lian came to a conclusion that Xuyuan wanted to plat a failure seed in his mind. They started with no grudges against each other but now their hatred could no longer be resolved. Maybe Yanxu could only blame Shen Lian for being too strong to the extent that one universe could not contain the two of them who were from the same school.

If Shen Lian was affected by the drama, he would not have been Shen Lian anymore. He was deeply aware of his own flaws and he was able to face them with an open mind. Until the deciding moment, no one would be able to predict his next move.

Fang Yanying felt guilty when she found out that she was a pawn in someone’s plan. But her uncle-master’s warm gaze has calmed the ripples in her mind.

Shen Lian said, “Pass the sword to me.”

Fang Yanying respectfully handed the Five Elements magic sword to Shen Lian. Even if she has mastered the Dazizai Shapeless Sword Aura, she still felt like an amateur swordsman in front of Shen Lian. At this very moment, her body was empty without any hints of sword aura and sword will.

The moment Shen Lian took over the sword, a strong force gushed through her and caused her to feel indifferent.

She had a sudden realization that the Dazizai Shapeless Sword Aura was in fact the same thing as the Shapeless Sword Aura. The only difference was that the former was more refined and hidden.

The force that came from Shen Lian was the ‘Nothingness’ of Daoism with a touch of the ‘Voidness’ of Buddhism. By combining the essence of the two approaches, one would be able to achieve the highest soul (Dazizai). This was also the reason why Sword Saint Ziwei went to the Zizai Temple to create the Dazizai Shapeless Sword Aura.

The first temple master of Zizai Temple was a powerful figure in the Dao sect whom eventually switched to the Buddhist sect and finally comprehended the meaning of ‘freedom’. Sword Saint Ziwei was inspired by that and came out with this word aura, and then effortlessly defeated Chen Beidou who was one of the top swordsman back then.

Before making the trip to north, Shen Lian was already capable of using the Dazizai Shapeless Sword Aura. But he only mastered the ‘nothingness’ and have yet to attain the ‘voidness’. It was only today where he was able to master it at a refined level.

This was also the reason why Chen Beidou set their dual to take place three years later. Shen Lian’s Dazizai Shapeless Sword Aura back then was not worthy of his sword.

Fang Yanying was touched but also terrified. She was touched that the uncle-master passed on his swordcraft to her but she was also afraid that Shen Lian only did so because he does not stand any chance against Chen Beidou.

She blurted out, “Uncle-master, if obtaining the immortality fruit would bring you any side effects or trouble, is it possible for you to use the graft method and transfer it over to me?”

Shen Lian gave her a pat on her shoulder and said, “Silly girl, stop making things difficult for Chen Jinchan. If I survive this dual, I would take him back to Qing Xuan and pass on to him some methods.”

After finishing his words, Shen Lian drew the sword out and marked an abstruse trail. A shapeless force was triggered within ten miles radius and the bald and rotten pine tree started to rejuvenate. The surrounding plants too started blooming in green buds, it was a feeling of overflowing of vitality, as if spring was already here.

The sword force of this sword was derived from the Being and Non-Being of Sword Aura but Shen Lian has carved his mark deeply on the sword.

He paused briefly after getting into the ready position and then wielded several sword forces that were inscribed deeply in heaven, earth and Xuan philosophy. He danced with his shadow as if he was able to leave this world anytime soon.

He then demonstrated seven different techniques continuously. Each and every techniques were beyond Fang Yanying’s imagination. In fact, it felt like they have experienced life and death, and the generation and restriction of the five elements in this inch-small space.

She felt that any immortal Zhenren and Golden Luohan would be defeated by the sword if the swordperson mastered this eight sword techniques.

She was finally confident that her uncle-master still had the chance to win this sword battle.

Shen Lian withdrew the sword and the surroundings, including the soil were already empty. Below their feet was a bottomless black hole that looked like a bridge to other unknown spaces. It took the black hole a while to shut close.

Snowstorm, Mountain God Temple.

Chen Jinchan did not expect the weather to be so strange. It snowed as it like, just like how Chen Beidou would appear as he likes, without giving any signs.

Deep down, he was in awe of the Mountain God Master. The Mountain God Master has never been fearful of anyone neither nor anything and yet has the ability of making others be in awe of him. There was a reason why people like him was able to live for so long.

If there was a competition for longevity, the Mountain God Master was definitely one of the longest living person ever.

“Since you brought back the water, I would not punish you.” Chen Beidou’s words gave Chen Jinchan a sense of relieve.

He looked at Chen Beidou and asked, “Mountain God Master, do you know the person who helped me extract with the water?”

“You want to know why I sent you to him and what is my relationship with him?” Chen Beidou sharp gaze pierced through Chen Jinchan’s mind causing him to panic. He tried his pace to stand upright but he could not control the shivers of his body.

He answered with a shaky voice, “Yes, that was what I wanted to know.”

“The next full moon, he will be having a sword battle with me.” Chen Beidou answered coldly.

He was not deliberately cold towards Chen Jinchan but he has always been that way and Chen Jinchan has gradually gotten used to it. The fear in his heart too reduced by a little.

“Could it be that he was your enemy?” Chen Jinchan asked.

“You don’t need to know that. If he wants to teach you, you should learn from him and need not to worry about other people.”

Chen Jinchan did not really understood the relationship between Shen Lian and Chen Beidou. But he could tell that the Mountain God Master did not have any ill-feelings towards Shen Lian and they had a pretty odd relationship, unlike rivals that would love to kill each other.

He has witnessed the people of Chen Village battle beasts and has seen fights between beasts. That feeling of ‘only one of us can survive’ could not be seen in the Mountain God Master.

Chen Jinchan did not probe further, neither did he have the time to ask more questions. The jug of water started flowing out and his sensories were filled with the sound of river waves. The water started to evaporate to the sky and as it hit the cold temperature of the sky, it turned into layers of thick clouds.

Thunderous sound could be heard as the water started to pour out. The dark clouds were roaming without direction like a serpent. The prestige of the heaven and earth was so mighty that most ferocious beasts would creep down to it.

When noon came, the jug stopped pouring water out and the layers of cloud scattered out to places beyond Chen Jinchan’s view. As a thunder struck, rain started pouring down towards the earth.

Chen Jinchan was stunned as every drop water water that landed on him would weaken the hot qi in him. Soon enough, the heatiness in him faded away completely.

Rays of light started to flash throughout the Mount Zhong as the profound Qi of Dao started to fight against the erosion of the rain. A voice could be heard, “Chen Beidou, what the hell do you want?”
