The person who showed up was Shen Lian. Although his light travel could not match the crazy Daoist’s Divine Aura Shifting Method, it was still a class above most people.

　　He was able to master the light travel in such short period of time thanks to the Deity Temple of Taixu Strategy and his newly attained Primordial Spirit.

　　However, he was not too excited about his new achievements. If it was not for the coming of the catastrophe of the world, he would not want to be involved in too many supernatural techniques. Back then, he would make sense of things by analogy. Now that he had reached the state of celestialism, he tried to simplified things and focus less on supernatural Dao techniques.

　　However, he had no choice as things did not turn out as he wished.

　　The Restriction on Ziyin Island was not able to stop him. Soon enough, he passed through the fenced mystic block and landed on the island.

　　The island had beautiful mountains and streams of spring water, it was literally a celestial paradise in the human world. Residing here for a long term would definitely cleanse a person’s soul.

　　Above the high cliffs ahead, there were two nuns collecting herbs. They noticed Shen Lian and immediately put down their hoes and asked, “May I know where did you come from?”

　　Shen Lian was strolling in the void as an invisible staircase appeared below his feet. He slowly lowered himself down as his robe swayed along in the wind. He looked magnificent like a heavenly being.

　　Perhaps it was the rich Qi of vitality on the island that made the nuns looked like they were sixteen or seventeen years old. Their skin was fair as snow and had no signs of aging.

　　Shen Lian knew that even if he made it to the island, there would be a different system here and it would require him to use some supernatural powers to get to the Zizai Temple. As a result, that would be a little disrespectful to the owner of the place.

　　And that was why he had to trouble the two nuns in front of him in order to enter the residence.

　　Shen Lian landed in front of the nuns and said, “Two little masters, I am Shen Lian of the Qing Xuan Celestial Sect. I am here to visit Daoist Liuqing.

　　The two of them seem to be unaware of the happenings of the world as they did not know the power the name ‘Shen Lian’ carried. However they were aware that Shen Lian must be someone extraordinary as he was able to descent from the void to enter the island.

　　One of the nuns responded, “Since you are looking for the abbess, you just have to go behind this mountain and walk fifty miles more.”

　　Shen Lian nodded and gently replied, “Thank you very much.”

　　His extraordinary charisma and gentle voice charmed the other nun as her heart fluttered and her face blushing in red. She could not look at him in the eye but the other nun who spoke to Shen Lian was poised as she replied him smiling.

　　Shen Lian too was straightforward. He turned and headed towards the back of the mountain.

　　The nun who blushed asked, “Apprentice-Sister, the benefactor does not look like a bad person. Why does the abbess refuse to see him?”

　　She then continued, “That Benefactor Shen was so simple-minded. He trusted you so easily.”

　　The apprentice-sister knocked her bald head and nagged, “So you’re captivated by him, huh? Why do you care so much for a man? There are reasons behind the abbess’ decision. Now that he has left for there, let’s return to report to the abbess.”

　　The two of them packed their hoes, carried their herbs pouch and went down the mountain.

　　After their departure, Shen Lian’s figure appeared at the peak of the mountain as he watched the nuns leave. He thought to himself, “Looks like Daoist Liuqing has predicted my visit here. Her ability sure is something as she placed two nuns here to wait for me. If she was able to predict this, she should have known that the nuns were not able to hide anything from me. Maybe she was just using them to hint to me that she did not want to see me.”

　　Shen Lian’s purpose to visit the Zizai Temple was to borrow some Sanguang Holy Water.

　　The Sanguang Holy Water was one of the best healing panaceas in the world. Since Chen Jianmei insisted to keep the sword aura in his body to learn that person’s swordcraft, there was a high possibility that he may not recover fully despite Shen Lian’s protective spell. Qing Xuan too had stocked up on several healing panaceas however those could not guarantee that there would not be any recurrence after recovering.

　　If Shen Lian had to put down his pride and beg for the Sanguang Holy Water, he would still do it.

　　But who knew that Daoist Liuqing did not want to see him at all.

　　Shen Lian was not mad at her, after all she was the rightful owner of the Sanguang Holy Water and this area was under the territory of the Zizai Temple. Although Daoist Liuqing and the Founding Master enjoyed a friendship, Shen Lian cannot do anything if Daoist Liuqing refused to help him.

　　He understood her intention and wanted to leave. But considering that Daoist Liuqing was lying why would she so specifically say to go to fifty miles behind the mountain?

　　That was the reason why Shen Lian decided to probe further. If there was nothing over there, he could just leave.

　　He contemplated the idea and transformed into the wind. Before he arrived at his destination, he could tell that something was off. He could clearly sense that the spiritual opportunity surrounding him was surging like the waves.

　　He wanted to leave before he gets surrounded by it but a water light flash through his bier and he decided to take advantage of the situation and stay put.

　　Shen Lian could see four bamboo roots coming out from the soil from four different directions of north, south, east and west.

　　In a split second, it transformed into the Azure Dragon of the East, White Tiger of the West, Vermillion Bird of the South and Black Turtle of the North.

　　With just one look, Shen Lian was able to tell that the bamboos have evolved into the Four Symbols Formation.

　　The Zizai Temple was indeed the fruit of Dao and Buddhism. Even Xuanmen’s formations too had its essence. Although it was just a simple Four Symbols Formation, once it was set up, the four symbols would change according to direction flawlessly.

　　If Shen Lian wanted to use his mana to break out from this formation, it would take him about half a month to do so. By then, there would be no point of obtaining the Sanguang Holy Water as it would be too late.

　　Moreover, his spiritual instinct knew that although the formation was set up by the bamboo, its roots were actually from the Sanguang Holy Water.

　　He was able to sense the breath of the holy water and that was why he decided to stay put.

　　Shen Lian’s body radiated the protective lights and reduced the impact of the Four Symbols Formation.

　　He used the ‘restrict’ word incantation from the Taixu Strategy to investigate the situation.

　　The ‘restrict’ word incantation was a useful tool when it comes to penetrating spiritual opportunity. It was the nemesis to all formations in the universe and that was why Shen Lian was able to feel the ferocity of this formation. It was a case of simplicity at its best.

　　The four roots bamboo probably came from the same source as the six roots bamboo. Although it was not considered as a magic talisman, it became a pretty impressive instrument after years of refinement.

　　Other ordinary celestial school’s mountain defense formation could not match the Four Symbols Formation.

　　It would be easy if things were as simple as that. However, the formation was linked to the Sanguang Holy Water. If he forcefully breaks out from the formation, the Holy Water might fade away.

　　Come to think of it, although Daoist Liuqing was not keen on meeting him, it was still possible for him to obtain the Sanguang Holy Water. Whether he could get it or not was up to his skills.

　　If he did not apply any fancy tricks and took it on face-on, he would then fail to obtain the Sanguang Holy Water.

　　By then, he could not blame Daoist Liuqing as it was his capabilities that caused the failure.

　　With that in mind, Shen Lian became more relaxed.

　　Perfection does not exist in this world unless the creation of creation had transcended beyond heaven and earth.
