Daoist Master of Qing Xuan Chapter 141: The Indus Tree’s Birth Is Similar to the Sun

Song Qingyi's eyes gleamed, looking as though they were stars and said, "Ah Lian, by now I think that my honored master will take you highly. Why don't you pay a visit to Xuantian sect? It is not some mysterious or exclusive place, we often have visitors who come to speak about Dao or listen to Dao."

Shen Lian thought that was how the top celestial schools should behave. Unfortunately, Qing Xuan did not have someone as powerful as Lu Jiuyuan. Even if Qing Xuan were to adapt the style of Xuantian, it just seemed like a joke to most. He had a sudden thought about the potential of him bringing the lowly Qing Xuan to the height of Xuantian if he were to become the leader.

The seed of the thought was planted at the bier, which would potentially germinate one day.

When he thought of it, Shen Lian could not help but let out a laugh. He did not even reach the stage of Huandan yet, there was no point thinking about these. Besides, he might not even be the chief's preferred successor. More importantly, he wished the chief stayed at this position.

Zhang Ruoxu's method would work best for Qing Xuan now. As long as there were more immortal Zhenren from Qing Xuan, all of the existing problems would be solved easily.

Shen Lian did not turn down Song Qingyi's offer, given that he would have the rare opportunity to meet the number one in the cultivation world. He nodded, "If there's an opportunity to visit, then I'll have to bother you to bring me there, Qingyi."

Song Qingyi replied, "Well Ah Lian, I find you to be a bit weird. We cultivators tend not to follow the traditions too much, but you're way too at ease."

Shen Lian did not reply. The yellow sand in the desert was glittering under the stars.

He looked ahead in a carefree manner and said, "Qingyi, I think it is better if we go ahead and look for the spiritual being you were looking for."

Once they passed the desert, it would be the Hanhai Kingdom, which was located not far away from the Temple of Killings. Furthermore, there was still some time from October fifteenth from this side of the world. Shen Lian needed not to hurry.

Song Qingyi nodded and agreed with him. The duo walked towards the depth of the desert. He was not afraid that Shen Lian would betray him if he saw the spiritual being for two reasons. Firstly, he believed that Shen Lian was not this type of person and secondly, with his cultivation experience, he had his own means to protect himself. Most importantly, the cultivation level of his honored master – if he would face great misfortune, why would the master let him pursue this?

The desert spanned across a hundred miles. If one were to fly through it, it certainly would not take much time. Given that they had to look for the spiritual being, they had to go through it slowly.

The yellow sand was all covered with silver glitters, as magical as water. It was mesmerizing.

Shen Lian could feel that the desert was absolutely lacking in Qi of vitality, as a result, it seemed that the power of the stars was excessive. All in a sudden, Shen Lian came to a halt. There were a lot of fireflies like beings in front of him. They were beaming with little yellow lights, coming out of nowhere and quickly gathering towards one area.

Song Qingyi spoke in an urgent tone, "This looks bad. It is the remainder Qi of the Mirage Demon. Why are they all gathering towards one area? How could it be possible that the king of the Mirage Demon is not dead yet?"

Based on Chen Jianmei's swordcraft, it was impossible that he could not kill the king of the Mirage Demon. He did not manage to eliminate them completely as many of the child forms stayed hidden.

The child forms of the Mirage Demon were mostly hidden in the shell and buried deep under the yellow sand. Unless Chen Jianmei utilized his shaking power to destroy the desert.

For most travelling merchants who had some previous understanding of the situation, they were mostly prepared. They would take a detour to avoid troubles.

The Qi of the Mirage Demons had no effect on Song Qingyi, but as it seemed that all the Qi was flowing towards one direction, the king of the Mirage Demon required the contribution of these child forms to help him recover.

From where the light spots were, through the stars, one could see there were many mollusks looking beings which were letting out the lights – those were the Qi of the Mirage Demons.

Song Qingyi knew how powerful the king of Mirage Demon could be. Given that it was probably not in its best condition and only recovering, he should take the opportunity to kill it.

Else if it were to attack during Chen Jianmei's solitary retreat, it would be a bad sign for the Dao discussion in deity vanquishing on October fifteenth.

Song Qingyi went by quickly like a gushing stream.

Shen Lian's eyes gleamed and stared ahead. He felt that there was something wrong there, but before he could warn Song Qingyi, he was already moving ahead.

Shen Lian could only stare at Song Qingyi who was at about a thousand feet away. He disappeared all in a sudden, at exactly the spot where the Qi of the Mirage Demons was gathering.

Song Qingyi was a nice guy. He knew that he was the student of Lu Jiuyuan, and he could possibly have a lot of good equipment and skills with him. With those, he could be safe. Shen Lian however still took action to follow Song as fast as a storm.

From the storm, thunder and lightning were born. The loud cracking sounds broke the Qi of the Mirage Demons.

Thunder had the authority of heaven and earth, which was not something mere Qi of the Mirage Demons could be up against.

When Shen Lian got to where Song Qingyi disappeared, he felt something familiar. It was similar to the time when he was kept by Zhao Xiaoyu into the Divine Soil space but this time he did it voluntarily.

All in a sudden, he was already in a spacious palace. In the middle of the palace there was an Indus tree. The branches were bare, and there were Qing Guang travelling on the branches. A dragon-looking being was perching on top of it. The difference of that with a dragon was that it only had one claw, which looked rather abnormal.

The weird dragon had no horns on its head. It had eerily looking sharp teeth.

The Qing Guang was basically fire which was burning it. The Qi of the mirage too, was entering its body and its breath got stronger.

It reminded Shen Lian of one phrase, "The phoenix's soar could reach the mountain; the Indus tree's birth is similar to the sun." There was a phoenix which reached nirvana on top of the half dead Indus tree. As a result, the Nirvana Fire remained, which allowed the rebirth of the dead king of Mirage Demon.

'Phoenix is a legendary bird that is cyclically regenerated and it is often described as immortal. For each stage of nirvana it goes through, it will gain even more power. This mystical creature however is extremely rare.'

There was rumor that someone extremely powerful ever killed a phoenix, who then was carried away by a five-colored light and never appeared again. Someone guessed that it was because a powerful being related to the phoenix took action.

Regardless of how rare a phoenix was, in this existing space the most precious being would be the Indus tree – it would be one of the best spiritual being.

Song Qingyi stood next to Shen Lian and said, "Ah Lian you could step behind. Let me do it."

Shen Lian replied, "Let me do it instead."

The dragon-looking Mirage Demon king which looked akin to a water dragon stared at Shen Lian coldly. It opened its enormous mouth and ejected strong breath.

Shen Lian took out his Xuande Sword, which was gleaming with golden rays. He pumped in the eight Qi of Taixu and the sword looked even more bewildering. The Qi of vitality in the palace started to ripple.

The sword aura was akin to the leading waves, full of forces.

When the breath of the king of Mirage Demon attacked, the sword aura exploded. Song Qingyi could hear the deep roar, which echoed through the palace.
