Chapter 222: Dongyi

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After having such thoughts, Shen Lian no longer had greed in his mind. He felt that the pearl light glowing through the wall shined through his clean and stainless heart.

There were many treasures and martial exercises under the sky. Why would he need to waste time and energy on something unknown?

This trip was good enough for his Ice Light training. It was not necessary to overthink it.

It was neither easy nor difficult to take things in moderation.

Shen Lian indeed had a moment of greed but he was able to self-reflect and reminded himself of his priorities.

After ten days of cultivation, he has absorbed quite a bit of Xuanming Qi of Devilry and mastered the Ice Light.

He had a strong mana and yet, he had this heartfelt realization about the mysteries of Xuanmen. Because of that, he was extremely fast when he trained to make the Ice Light. He was able to simplify the procedure, thanks to his strong mana and spirit.

Another ten days had passed as he packed the Qi of devilry that he collected.

He had set the narwhal free; the narwhal lived under the sea, held no grudges against anyone and would not harm others too. If someone or a demon could dive into millions of feet below sea level, the narwhal would probably not be able to handle it. There was no point for Shen Lian to take its life.

Perhaps that it was gifted or because he was frozen by the Ice Light, the narwhal was not harmed by the Xuanming Qi of Devilry and was only frozen in an ice cube. Furthermore, before it fell over and got frozen into an ice cube, Shen Lian used his mana to weave a net and held the body of the narwhal.

To show its gratitude, the narwhal traveled quite some miles to look for million-year-old corals that were rich in soulful aura and extremely rare, and gifted it to Shen Lian.

Shen Lian did not refuse it.

One day, Shen Lian instinctively felt that he had produced enough light and the Xuanming Qi of Devilry in the air has reduced a lot. If to take more, he would have destroyed the balance at the Eye of Sea, and hence, stopped collecting.

If would be a pity if the sinkhole was sealed as a result of running out of Qi of devilry.

Moreover, there was no point for Shen Lian to leave no room for maneuver.

Once he has made up his mind, he decided to leave.

The narwhal who was near Shen Lian noticed the dimmed light and asked, “Are you leaving already?”

Shen Lian looked at it and smiled, “What are you up to?”

The narwhal replied, “I heard that celestials usually have their own mount when they travel as it would make them look more dignified. How about you take me on your mount so you can rest your legs.” After a few days of being around Shen Lian, it realized how powerful Shen Lian could be. It was never easy for demons to attain Dao and shapeshift. If he had Shen Lian, the chances of it shapeshifting would increase greatly. Moreover, based on its observation, Shen Lian’s temper was way better than the Black Water King.

Shen Lian smiled and replied, “You’re not quite the level yet, to be my mount. It’s better for you to stay here and cultivate. We might not see each other in the future but let me tell you something. Beyond the Eye of Sea is the Black Water Residence. Over this one year, I’ve been making some waves and it will inevitably cause some trouble. If you want to stay alive, this is not the best place to settle down.”

Shen Lian’s not an ordinary person and would not take in any mount so easily. He had Qianmo, but as the chief of Qing Xuan, every step he takes would be reflected on Qing Xuan. Even if he could not travel on a dragon and ride the wind, he would not just take in any demons with origins that he was not aware of.

Rumors travel fast and people generally would not have anything good to say about it. He did not bother about trifles but taboos were taboos. There was no need to be selfish and egoistic and get into unnecessary trouble.

Furthermore, Shen Lian’s last advice to the narwhal was made out of good intention. With his Tongtian Skills, he could vaguely predict that a fight would erupt at this very place in the future. If the narwhal insisted on staying back, it would be on the path to death.

All Shen Lian could do was to advise. It was not his problem if the narwhal chose not to listen.

After finishing his sentence, a ray of light shined and Shen Lian hopped out of the Eye of Sea in the blink of an eye. He could feel the massive pressure from the sea water but as he dashed up and break through the stagnant seawater, he was able to reach the top very quickly. It generated some wind and wave as he gushed out and went beyond the clouds.

Although he managed to produce quite a bit of Ice Light, he did not really have any sense of joy.

The most precious outcome of the trip was not the Ice Light but the mysterious Black Water Residence. Shen Lian managed to cleansed his divine aura and not fall for greed and desire. This was not something most elixirs could do.

Shen Lian rode on the clouds and headed towards the celestial market.

The vastness of heaven and earth, the white clouds and birds were nothing unusual for him.

In a sudden, a sharp ray of arrow lights came from below tore open the void and came aiming for Shen Lian.

Even if the arrow traveled in the speed of light, it was impossible to ambush the highly cultivated Shen Lian.

He released a ray of green light and it spun in the void at an extremely high speed. Like a snake, the ray of green light entangled the arrow.

Although it was only the most basic form of Wind Binding Technique, the fact that Shen Lian being able to apply it so effortlessly already meant that he was more powerful than many of his own kind.

His mana was refined and pure and his Qi of Dan was highly vigorous. Even the simplest spells could be extremely powerful.

However, after being bound, the arrow struggled just a little and then was able to accelerate. The bottom half of the arrow broke while the front end bolted even quicker towards Shen Lian.

Nobody knew how much mana was needed to shoot an arrow up from down, furthermore shooting an arrow that had a second kick. Obviously, that second kick was inserted at the moment the archer released the arrow.

It may look simple but this was a whole new level of mana control and unmatched archery skills. The arrow was released at the speed of light and the second kick was even faster.

In that split second, Shen Lian showed no signs of panic. He rolled up the sleeves of his robe and caught the arrow. A dash of arrow aura headed towards him but his mana was too deep and unpredictable that the arrow aura dispersed before it could hit him.

Shen Lian kept the top half of the arrow and looked downwards. All he could see was an island. But he was curious to know who was the culprit who attacked him with an arrow.

He descended from the sky like a meteor hitting earth and that produced beams of colorful lights in the void. He stopped in mid-air and started floating downwards slowly.

The gravity of earth was nothing unusual when walking into the void.

Shen Lian did not land on the ground but instead mingled around the clouds; it looked like the advent of a fairy.

In front of him was a military of troops with a young adult leader whom the body was wrapped with animal skin. The leader had a giant bow in his hand and a red mark in between his brows as if it was blazing flames.

The leader’s thin figure looked like it was about to explode with terrifying powers.

This young adult looked at Shen Lian with contempt and started mumbling a whole bunch of words.

Shen Lian wanted to condemn but after hearing the leader speak, he had second thoughts, and asked in the same spoken language, “Are you from the Dongyi Tribe?”
