Chapter 491: Moving the Mountains

Shen Lian laid on his right and closed his eyes. A strand of his fair fell from the side of his face. He looked refreshing.

Lei Jing was overcome by lust. However, she was intelligent and managed to shake off her lustful feelings. She realized how she did not hear Shen Lian breathe.

Thinking that it could not be right, she walked closer to Shen Lian who was on the couch. She focused on listening. She heard hundreds and thousands of tiny sounds of breathing; it was a beautiful symphony of melodies that hinted at something profound.

Shen Lian was breathing through all the pores on his body instead of his mouth and nose.

Daoist termed breathing through mouth and nose as external respiration while breathing through the pores was termed as internal respiration, which was also known as Guixi. The divine turtle led a long life due to its breathing technique.

Shen Lian’s blood flow was close to being stagnant. The breathing of his pores caused the Qi of heaven and earth converging to the surface of his body. This was just as how iron would be purified gradually when under pressure, turning it into the purest of steel.

Extracting the impurities in one’s body via this method would get progressively difficult, but a strong command of the technique would enable one to have a body as pure as glass. The benefits were endless.

For the entire night, Lei Jing was experiencing Shen Lian’s method of breathing – internal respiration. She tried for countless of times and ended up turning into a red tomato when she held her breath for too long. Moreover, it was extremely uncomfortable for her. As she repeated her attempts, she found herself being able to hold her breath longer and longer. Even though her pores did not loosen, she was able to prolonged her breathing period significantly.

Moreover, she noted down Shen Lian’s unique characteristics as he slept, ranging from the twitching of a tiny muscle to the sound of his organs and the crack of his bones.

Shen Lian slept soundly for the entire night. Lei Jing had bloodshot eyes and she looked exhausted.

Shen Lian looked at her exhausted state and pretended to not know anything, “Jing Er, did you sleep well last night?”

Lei Jing was thinking how could he address her in such a loving manner; she found herself suddenly angered and said, “I slept well.”

Shen Lian gave a gentle knock on her head and spoke, “Only when you could truly sleep well that you can consider yourself having mastered the lesson last night.”

Lei Jing blushed and retorted, “Teacher, even if I have learned the way your sleep, there is no immediate beneficial effect. Moreover, the Dao formula Wu Ding is cultivating seems powerful. If I lose, it will be your reputation that is on the line.”

Shen Lian replied, “Forget about it. Address me as “Sir.” Being addressed as “teacher” makes me feel old.”

Lei Jing spoke, “Sir, do you have no plans to teach me something else? I am aware that you know some powerful Celestial Arts. Why don’t you teach me those?”

Shen Lian smiled, “I do know plenty of Celestial Arts, from something as simple as turning beans into soldiers and riding the clouds, to something as complicated as summoning the rain and the wind or moving the mountains and the seas; I know all of these. Would you like to learn?”

Lei Jing spoke, “Turning beans into soldiers and riding the clouds? I will pass. Although, I would love to learn how to summon the rain and the wind, or to move the mountains and the seas. I wonder if I would be able to master them in three months?”

Shen Lian chuckled, “Do you know how long have I been cultivating before I could move the mountains and the seas ?”

Lei Jing replied, “How long?”

“Twenty over years,” Shen Lian answered.

“That is long,” Lei Jing replied with a pout.

Shen Lian spoke, “The speed of my cultivation was considered as fast. With your potential, you might not even succeed after a hundred year of cultivation. Do you still want to learn?”

Lei Jing looked at Shen Lian and herself before speaking, “Is there that big of a difference

?”

Shen Lian stared at her chest and spoke meaningfully, “Indeed, there is.”

Lei Jing gritted her teeth, then she thought of something. She spoke, “Sir, you claimed that you could move the mountains and the seas. I don’t believe you. Why don’t you prove your point by moving a mountain?”

Shen Lian replied, “Do you really want to see that?”

Lei Jing thought, “You are definitely bluffing. There is no way that you can move a mountain here.”

She thought of how Shen Lian was teasing her all of the time. Now that she finally found the chance to tease him, she was determined to embarrass him for once.

Lei Jing spoke, “Of course, I would love to see that.”

Shen Lian stretched lazily and smiled, “Your wish is my command.”

Lei Jing saw Shen Lian walking to the window and a green ray flew out of him. He remained still, just like a perfect statue. No vital force could be detected from him at all.

Lei Jing did not bother herself with Shen Lian. She knew that the green ray was definitely something strange. She followed it out of the school only to see it disappear into the sky. The speed was mind-boggling.

“Mister Lei, you are here for morning exercise?” A surprised voice spoke cheerfully.

Lei Jing turned her head and saw Fei Zhong. He was a pleasant-looking man, but he was a bit too sinister for her liking.

She was too focused on wondering how would Shen Lian move the mountain and had only responded with a snort. It was a warning for Fei Zhong to stay away.

Fei Zhong heard her. He was more pleased than surprised – getting a cold response was better than no response. He believed that with prolonged exposure, one day she would be his.

Fei Zhong chuckled as he walked over, “Mister Lei, you in a bad mood? Tell me who pissed you off and I shall deal with the person on behalf of you.”

Lei Jing smiled coldly, “Indeed, someone did piss me off. Do you really want to take care of it for me?”

“It is my pleasure to be able to contribute to Mister Lei,” Fei Zhong shook his head as he spoke.

Lei Jing wanted to tell him that he was the person who pissed her off. Out of a sudden, she saw a giant black shadow flying at her direction.

Even Fei Zhong was shocked and could not utter a word.

A black shadow shielded the sun and sent the world into darkness. It was not because of the dark clouds in the sky, the sunlight was blocked off by a mountain that was more than ten thousand feet tall. It was flying from the end of the sky towards Diqiu.

It was akin to a giant beast from the wilderness that was treading in the air, sending waves of fear even before its arrival.

Everyone had seen a mountain before, but the same could not be said about a flying mountain that was heading to Diqiu.

The powerful ones at Diqiu were both surprised and angered. They wondered who was the brave abomination that had the guts to offend Diqiu.

The mountain was Shen Lian’s handiwork. With his Primordial Spirit, it was easy to move a mountain as it was not beyond what he could handle. As for the talks about moving mountains and seas, he meant his word.

His true form was hidden in the Dynasty School and it would not be easy to locate it. He thought that this was a good opportunity for him to examine the powerful techniques engaged by the powerful ones.

Moreover, he acted on Lei Jing’s request and did so in a carefree manner. He did what he did by chance, which was why it was difficult for even someone like Guan Longzi who had strong premonition to find out beforehand.

‘Human intention, something that the heaven and the earth were aware of’; of those who had a premonition, they prophesied when their thoughts were moved by the detection of the heaven and earth.

If their thoughts had not been engaged prior and were unleashed without any hint, it would be difficult to guard against it.

As for an augury that could actually peek into the future, this required a deeper level of spiritual response. It was not something that could be noticed in the blink of an eye.

As the mountain got closer, a voice rougher than the thunder boomed, “How dare you.”
