Daoist Master of Qing Xuan Chapter 611 – Coveting the Throne
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
With the wisdom of a cultivator, if one decided to embark on the path similar to the development of the earth, it was entirely possible to use the accomplishments of the digital world to come up with terrifying weapons. These weapons would be more powerful than any instruments and magic talisman created by cultivators in the past centuries.
In the vast universe, such civilization of the cultivator definitely existed.
“Perhaps he could lead such civilization.” Shen Lian thought to himself.
It may sound impractical to create civilization and pass it to someone else to manage it. However, although Shen Lian’s experience in cultivation was not considered long, his knowledge, state of mind, and experiences were sufficient to help him achieve immense greatness. If he succeeded, whether in a good or bad way, it would have been the highlight of his life.
The feeling of strangeness raised in his heart. Shen Lian looked towards the direction of Zhaoge and said to Chang Shengzi, “Tianyi is coming. On behalf of me, please tell him that I will go and weigh the weight of the Queen Mother Wu Vessel. For my mother’s sake, tell him to not worry and I will work together with Zujia.”
As Shen Lian’s voice faded away, Chang Shengzi could no longer see Shen Lian and his people. What he regretted the most was that Shen Lian had no intention of returning the kid to him. However, at the same time, he had an odd feeling that his teacher-disciple bond with the kid had yet to end.
It was a pity. To every celestial school around, disciples with high potential were extremely precious. The more geniuses they have, the more the school’s traditions were guaranteed to last.
A ray of light broke through from a distance and stopped in front of Chang Shengzi. The person was dressed in a deep black royal costume with a lively looking embroidered bird on his chest. With gentle and warm eyes, the person smiled at Chang Shengzi and said, “Were you with Daoist Qingxuan earlier on?
Chang Shengzi let out a bitter laugh and recounted the incident earlier.
Tianyi responded, “Zhaoge is not Diqiu. I hope Daoist Qingxuan would behave himself. Otherwise, I may have to ignore the sentiments that we have between us.”

Chang Shengzi said worriedly, “From my observations, Daoist Qingxuan’s cultivation is beyond the state of heavenly immortals. Emperor Shang, please be careful if he misbehaves.”
Tianyi smiled as he recalled the nun who arrived at Zhaoge together with Wen Zhong. Everything was as she predicted. Shen Qingxuan oh Shen Qingxuan. Please be careful and not fall into this trap that was set up specifically to kill you.
He asked, “Zhenren, what kind of person is Daoist Qingxuan?”
Chang Shengzi let out a slight groan and said, “That is hard to say.”
Tianyi smiled, “Even if it is difficult, you can still say it. Let’s have a chat.” He seemed not to be bothered by the roaring of the mushroom clouds down at the ancient village and was instead more concerned about Chang Shengzi’s thoughts on Shen Lian.
Chang Shengzi answered, “He is like water. Sometimes, he is the light drizzles of the spring, giving people a comfortable feeling. Some other days, he is the crazy storm that terrifies people to their core. We could somewhat tell if it is going to be a light rain or if a storm is coming by observing the weather. But when it comes to him, you would not be able to tell what he is up to. To be honest, although I have always claimed that I am a man of liberty of the mountain but after meeting him, I fell that this person sure is the true definition of liberty.”
Tianyi responded, “He sure is a person of liberty but there are restraints in life and there is a price to pay for freedom. He should know better but obviously, he does not have the intention to change. That is why I think he is an extremely courageous person.”
Tianyi held back and did not finish his sentence. Courage would not necessarily lead to a positive outcome. Emperor Xia was an example and Shen Lian too would follow his footsteps.
In order to make Yinshang a heavenly nation on earth, Tianyi did not mind being the devil who crushed countless warriors.
…
Ah Lian embraced the toddler with lots of love. She looked at Shen Lian and said, “Celestial teacher, this child looks so helpless, please let me adopt him.”
Shen Lian replied, “I will make the arrangements for him personally.”

Ah Lian was a little sad as she said, “Sure, we will obey to your plans.”
Jiu Yue then interrupted the conversation, “Master, you said you wanted to go and weigh the Queen Mother Wu Vessel. Is that for real?”
Shen Lian calmly asserted, “Do I look like I was joking?”
Jiu Yue responded in a deep voice, “I have heard of that vessel. It was said that the vessel was as heavy as the mountain and sea, and no one else beside Zhujia who made the vessel, was able to lift it. But I believe you would be an exception. It’s just that after the incident earlier, Zhaoge may not be a friendly territory. Above all, please be careful.”
Shen Lian smiled, “Looks like you have made some improvements. It was not a bad idea to take you out after all. But Ah Lian’s daughter Fu Hao is still in Zhaoge. We definitely have to make a trip there.”
Ah Lian replied, “Maybe we should forget about it. If something went wrong, I would not be able to redeem myself.”
Shen Lian commented, “Nothing would go wrong.” Actually, Shen Lian sensed the danger in this. After all, Zhou was not as deeply rooted as Yinshang and Da Xia. However, if he, the Emperor, was not capable of being an invincible force of deterrent, he should forget about ruling the Netherworld nor becoming the showstopper of destiny.
Yes, the situation could be dangerous but it was a chance for him to show himself. The weight of the vessel could show what was the deal with this person called Shen Lian.
…
In the city of Zhaoge, there was a mansion adjoining the palace of Shang. It was the Residence of the Grand Preceptor, a gift bestowed by Tianyi to Wen Zhong. Tianyi also allowed Wen Zhong to set up his own governing department and this was a treatment that most royalties did not have.
The incident at the ancient village shook the Residence of the Grand Preceptor. The beautiful nun across of Wen Zhong opened her eyes and said, “Wen Zhong, your mind is not still.”
Wen Zhong responded, “I do not know what was that commotion. What should we do if Shen Lian left Yinshang because of that?”
The beautiful nun was the Lady Mother of the Chariot. She left the Bi You Palace and came for Shen Lian. If Shen Lian did not enter Zhaoge, the price she paid for leaving the Bi You Palace temporarily would have been a waste.
Wen Zhong knew best the price his mentor had to pay and that was why he was anxious.
The Lady Mother of the Chariot had a change of her always serious character. She smiled and said, “This is not something you can change regardless of whether he shows up or not. There is no need for you to be anxious. This has always been your shortcoming. If you are too much of an opportunist, you will not be able to experience the natural subtleness of the meaning of Dao. It is my fault for teaching you too much at the beginning and it eventually held you up.”
Wen Zhong responded, “My Honored Master, I am happy from the bottom of my heart that you have taught me so much. I am more than satisfied even if I can’t catch up to your footsteps.”
The Lady Mother of the Chariot condemned, “You are always like that. Anyway, everyone has their own practices. As for Shen Lian, I really hope to have a heart to heart talk with him for once. Despite everything, the breath that he possessed was indeed a direct descendant of my honored master. If it was not for the recognition of my mentor, this breathe would have been deadly.”
After all this, the Lady Mother of the Chariot had cast aside all her burdens. If Shen Lian was there, he would notice that the Lady Mother of the Chariot was like a withered tree that came back to life. She went beyond the clones of Gods and Humans, just like a new starting point after the end of a karmic cycle.
This was not the progress of the Lady Mother of the Chariot. It was the relief of letting go of everything, the abandonment of the fuss of gaining and losing, and the rediscovery of the beauty of the meaning of Dao.
This was not her peak but this version of the Lady Mother of the Chariot was definitely the toughest of all.

A Sinner's Eden
The Earth of the future is united under a single government, but not all things are well. The shape of the playing field may be changed, but the powerful still rule the weak.And those who do not conform with the rest of society are exiled to another world. A world that not even the technology of the future managed to tame.It should have been humanity's New World but ended up as nothing more than a penal colony. A place where the exiled are sent to die. Motivated by revenge, Magnus sets out on a quest to bring his own justice to his enemies. For that purpose, he is willing to go further than most others.But then he learns that if he truly wishes to change things, he can only find his answers beyond the gate. Having lived most of her life as an exile, Astra is a woman of few interests aside from survival and climbing the ranks of her clan.To achieve those goals, she certainly won't be squeamish when a chance literally falls into her lap, or will she? ——————————————————————————————— I am trying to go with a survival/medieval setting in this one. People from a technologically advanced society are thrown into a world where they can't maintain their tech. They are forced to rely on medieval technology where they have to make do with the limited resources they have and what little of their old technology is still working. Their gene manipulation allows them to have something akin to superpowers, but that doesn't help much against the monsters of their new world. Not sure yet whether sufficiently advanced technology will be discovered later on to count as magic. ——————————————————————————————— Author's Comment: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently, I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur)
8 927Dominion Expansion (a 4X LitRPG)
Clay is one of the world's top players of 4X games, a genre where the goal is to eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate. He's also one of the only players in the world to so stubbornly stick to the one city strategy, a favorite tactic of his that involves only ever using a single city or planet depending on the game's setting. All that matters to him is winning with his favorite strategy, but earning the respect of his fellow players for taking a sub-optimal strategy to its highest level has always been a nice bonus. And now it is because of his skill and entertaining determination that he has been chosen to represent a higher realm in a strategy game where the fate of Earth and dozens of other worlds are at stake. To the victor goes the spoils, and the spoils include entire worlds and billions of lives. That's how he ends up representing the ascended realm of Hell in a grand "game" between an entire pantheon of godly beings and other higher powers. But while it may just be a game to those overseeing it, it is a genuine war for survival to those participating in it where billions of real lives will go to the victor of whoever wins, and many will die before the game is over. Quick Author's Notes: System inspired by Civilization, Endless Legend, Stellaris, and Crusader Kings 2. Combat mechanics inspired by the Total War series. Slow-paced with many long-term plans. Protagonist has a personality heavily inspired by Ron Swanson. Know who that is and love him? You should like Clay. Know who Ron Swanson is and hate him? You'll probably hate Clay. Planning on writing every single day (turn). Days with important things happening will have the system/game mechanics be the priority of the chapter. Days where there isn't really anything important happening will be more slice-of-life and focused on character interactions. Designed a dice-based randomized map generator to create the world as the story goes on, so I don't even know myself exactly what's going to happen as a lot is dependent on world generation. Tech tree with hundreds of technologies already designed. There is a "harem," but it's not the main focus, the girls won't be cardboard cutouts, and I'm not going to completely forget about any previous women in the relationship whenever a new one comes along. One last thing. The "game" starts off with primitive technology level. The current plan is for the "endgame" tech level to be equivilent to WW2-era technology. After that and war just gets boring until you end up in space. Cover is temporary and made from royalty-free stock images while waiting for the real cover's commission to finish.
