Daoist Master Of Qing Xuan-Chapter 671 - The Great Battle of Bi You Palace
Chapter 671 - The Great Battle of Bi You Palace
Kui Li nodded while Jing Shu hesitated for a while before she conceded.
Instantly, both of them felt indescribable changes in their bodies. This was inexplicably related to Shen Lian. Shen Lian's illusory spiritual shape changed suddenly and released an astonishing Qi dynamic. In an instant, his mana was much stronger as compared to the time when he was at his pinnacle phase.
Kui Li and Jing Shu were out of Bi You Palace in a gust of breeze. Only Lady Mother of the Chariot and Shen Lian was left in the main hall.
Lady Mother of the Chariot exclaimed, "You can practice the Art of Celestial Invitation in this manner?"
In the mortal world, there had always been ordinary cultivators who would utilize various techniques to invite celestials in order to obtain the force and blessings of holy deities. However, there were limitations. Shen Lian was able to receive the approval of two deities and obtain the majority of their mana in such a short period of time. He had truly performed this technique incredibly.
She was rather confused. During Daoist Master Shangqing's lecture, Shen Lian had clearly understood the idea of infusing one's physical form with heaven, earth, and all living things. Ultimately, everything would be concealed within one's own body. This was one of the righteous paths of supreme detachment. Although what he had practiced differed from his prior enlightenment over the idea of utilizing self-imposed heaven and earth for world creation, both techniques have achieved the same purpose. It can be considered that Lu Jiuyuan had some understanding of this path of Dao. Nevertheless, he was too deeply rooted to the Qing Xuan Earth and Star. Hence, his potential worn out and was deemed to have chosen the wrong path.
Kui Li and Jing Shu were also part of the living beings in the world. Given that Shen Lian had received their approvals and utilized the Art of Celestial Invitation as a conduit to perform a path of Dao he recently learned, he was able to obtain great mana. This execution of decisions was undoubtedly logical.
He spoke plainly, "If you leave now, I could spare your life."
Lady Mother of the Chariot was furious. She rose to fame for countless years and had never been despised by anyone before. When she reached her pinnacle, she was able to sustain the combined attacks of Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and Cihang. Even if she had deteriorated, she would not condone denigration by juniors like Shen Lian.
Her deity body appeared where countless stars started to gleam brightly. It was as if she was blessed with the force of the universe. These were spirits of the demised from Jie Order, also known as the stars of Netherworld. They could unite with her to boost her divine solemnity.
At the same time, celestial tones started ringing around Lady Mother of the Chariot. That was the chantings of Yellow Court Classic. An enormous vital force filled the whole of Bi You Palace. It could suppress all forms of techniques and prevent them from spurring chaos.
Her eyes glinted with wrath and killing vibes. When she pointed with a finger, throngs of runes appeared and transformed into a huge flood of Daoist technique. They glittered brightly and stormed towards Shen Lian murderously.
Bi You Palace remained still as it endured the ferocity of the flood of Daoist technique which was alike to roaring waves. It had exhibited the quality of a firm Daoist's divine palace. Only venues like this could sustain such a frightening great battle between the two.
Shen Lian was battling an ancient celestial for the first time. Although this opponent had deteriorated greatly since her bestowment, she was still considered as a challenging opponent.
Faced by the ferocious and roaring flood of Daoist technique, Shen Lian spat out an astounding sword gleam. It speared through everything.
The technique which was alike to rolling waves of flood became mere dust under the strike of the sword gleam. It seemed that the powerful sword gleam could destroy every obstacle, travel against the flood, and pierce through Lady Mother of the Chariot's deity body.
Lady Mother of the Chariot was not petrified by the approaching sword gleam. In the past, she had witnessed mightier attacks.
The fluttering sleeves embraced a strike of the sword gleam. It seemed like her sleeves were overlaid with mountains and rivers where they engaged themselves in a startling collision with the sword gleam.
A thunderous sound nearly penetrated through space. Uncontrollably, Jing Shu questioned in trepidation, "Sister Kui Li, this old demon lady is truly psychotic."
Kui Li replied softly, "Amongst all disciples of the Jie Order, Jinling Shengmu was a celestial who possessed profound mana, succeeding the celestial who had the greatest mana. She was better than Guiling Shengmu, a great figure amongst the ancient demons. If her original Daoist body was not damaged by Daoist Randeng's Sea Setting Pearl, resulting in the weakening of supernatural powers, leaving Bi You Palace alive would be an impossibility even if Shen Lian had great improvements in his attainment and mana."
Jing Shu said, "I am aware of all that you have mentioned. However, I did not expect that the remaining force could be so terrifying. I cannot imagine how petrifying it would be if she advances into her pinnacle phase."
Kui Li replied plainly, "She would never be able to return to her pinnacle phase. We would never witness it."
Jing Shu tightened her grip on her hand, smiled and said, "You have so much faith in this lad."
While they were conversing, Shen Lian and Lady Mother of the Chariot had attacked one other several times. The storm and ferocious sword gleam in Bi You Palace had become the main subject.
Lady Mother of the Chariot appeared calm and attacked Shen Lian continuously with techniques he had never seen. This exhibited her powerful abilities as a great figure amongst ancient celestials.
Shen Lian retaliated her attacks as well. A strike from the sword gleam enabled him to envision the technique's Qi dynamic. Hence, he was able to resolve Lady Mother of the Chariot's multifarious techniques calmly and even managed to gain an upper hand.
However, if there was no party being completely suppressed, the result for battles between celestials was not able to be revealed within a short period of time. It was just like the battle between the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal and Wang Lingguan. Although Wang Lingguan was not a prominent figure in the Heaven Courtyard, the powerful Great Sage, Heaven's Equal was still entangled in ten rounds of battles with Wang Lingyuan.
Suddenly, Shen Lian's spiritual shape that was wandering amidst blazing lights of the technique transformed into a Kunpeng. With the aid of Jing Shu's mana, he was able to evolve such a great demon that was scarcely seen in the universe. The speed of Kunpeng was incompatible in the world. Not many could keep up with its pace. When he flapped his wings, he charged towards Lady Mother of the Chariot with a strike of sword gleam at an indescribable speed.
There was a sudden change in Lady Mother of the Chariot's serene mien. She barely escaped the strike. A strand of hair that formed by the condensation of fluorescence gradually descended. A narrow cut appeared on her beautiful face. Some blood marks were present on that cut.
Her unparalleled beautiful spiritual appearance was flushed. This indicated how furious she was, so much that she engaged the Qi and blood of celestial and Daoist bodies, causing it to surge.
Jing Shu said, "Oh no, the old demon lady is enraged."
Kui Li silently stared at the situation in Bi You Palace. She unknowingly tightened her grip on Jing Shu.
The two ravishing celestials of the demon clan could only oversee the battle. They were unable to change the state of affairs.
Lady Mother of the Chariot's let out a clear celestial tone. It engaged universal galaxies which surrounded the Daoist body, causing the appearance of uncountable starlights which subsequently transformed into a border untouchable by any forms of techniques. Shen Lian had maneuvered freely in the world for years. Hence, the sharpness of his Killing Sword's gleam was incompatible. As he laid a murderous strike on the starlight border, millions of swords appeared instantaneously. Subsequently, they merged into a single sword. With a condensed force, the border was broken.
That starlight border which was supposed to be impenetrable by all techniques did not manage to sustain Shen Lian's powerful attacks. It shattered like a pricked bubble.
Though this did not provide much help, Shen Lian's indomitable Killing Sword managed to delay the progress of the battle. Lady Mother of the Chariot punched out her fist that seemed like an indestructible crystalline structure.
This was a supernatural power created by her through years of hard work. It was called the 'Holy punch of Doumu'. With only one punch, even Bi You Palace quivered. Clearly, it encompassed an enormous force, one that was able to destabilize this Daoist divine palace.
That punch seemed to have engulfed the sun, moon, and stars. Numerous stars cl.u.s.tered into a clear crystalline structure. It was an indication of its indestructible divine solemnity. Mercilessly, it charged towards Shen Lian.
Both of their stances were immediately overturned.
Though Shen Lian retreated speedily, he was not able to escape the destructive holy punch. However, there were no signs of panic and only calmness was present in his appearance.
