Chapter 639: Incomparable To You

For the painting of Mounts and Rivers of the Gods of Earth and Vale to have such power, it was beyond Lu Jiuyuan’s expectation. Since he would not have thought that Shen Lian would be able to obtain the attention of Daoist Master Taiyi, to aid him in completely evolving the unfinished painting of Mounts and Rivers of the Gods of Earth and Vale.

Although Lu Jiuyuan did not know what had happened, he knew he had no chance of success when he saw Shen Lian flashing the painting of Mounts and Rivers of the Gods of Earth and Vale.

The magical talismans glowed divine light and collapsed one after another, forming a circle of cataract surrounding him. It finally stopped the frantic momentum of the painting of Mounts and Rivers of the Gods of Earth and Vale, but that was all.

As long as Shen Lian refused to stop, he would eventually grind away the layer of shell. If that time comes, all reputation would truly be lost. Of course, he could also take advantage in extracting the real soul, and proceed to return to planet earth. By then, as strong as Shen Lian was, unless the entire planet earth was wiped out, he would not be able to do anything towards him.

But Lu Jiuyuan would not take that step. He used spiritual telepathy and said, “Zhenren Shen, I admit defeat.”

Shen Lian heard and smiled, he said, “Zhenren Xiangshan surrendered.’

The map was instantly retracted and it vanished within his body. Only Shen Lian himself understood that it was not easy controlling the painting of Mounts and Rivers of the Gods of Earth and Vale. Even using it briefly had consumed a little of his primordial spirit mana.

However, this is a matter of course. The painting of Mounts and Rivers of the Gods of Earth and Vale was in a sense a small world. Its weight far surpassed any famous mountains and rivers. If it can still be easily controlled by him, that would be extremely strange.

Lu Jiuyuan might have thought of this point, but he too, could not guarantee that he would have withstood it until that time. In addition, Shen Lian has in fact damaged his protection spell. What was the point in him being persistent?

In the end, Shen Lian only wanted to bring some immortal zhenren in leaving this side of heaven and earth, he was not trying to destroy the land.

Even if he had to suffer some loss, it would not be unacceptable.

A celestial figure is precisely decisive. He had made his decision in a short amount of time, which was to simply admit defeat.

Shen Lian understood that he could only return Lu Jiuyuan to Qing Xuan Earth and Star. He could not do anything towards him. Reaching their level, if it was not a deathmatch of the Great Way, there was no need to fight to the death.

Lu Jiuyuan took in the divine light of protection. Although these magical talismans were physically damaged, its true nature still exists. Once he returned back to planet earth, with some time and effort, they could still be recovered. Otherwise, he would not have been so swift as he decided to collapse those magical talismans and turn them into a divine light of protection.

Lu Jiuyuan sighed and said, “Ever since I have attained Dao, this was the first time I had tasted the taste of defeat. This was a very good experience. If I could escape from the planet earth, I would definitely thank Zhenren Shen.”

Shen Lian smiled and said, “If zhenren could do it, regardless of where Shen Lian would be at that time, you need only notify and I would personally congratulate you.”

Lu Jiuyuan laughed, “At that time, I will also return the taste of defeat to you.”

Shen Lian said plainly, “I’m afraid there would be no such possibility.”

Lu Jiuyuan smiled and disappeared.

Zhao Xiaoyu appeared from the void, and went near Shen Lian. She said, “when I first met you, I never would have thought that there would be a day where you would be able to appear victorious against Lu Jiuyuan, placing him in an unfavorable situation. If my Apprentice-Sister was still in the human world, she would be extremely grateful to you.

Her Apprentice-Sister harbored a bit of hatred towards Lu Jiuyuan, but she could not avenge herself in the end. She could not even pass the stage of Lu Jiuyuan’s disciples.

Shen Lian said, “that was because Zhenren Xiangshan most definitely would not want to make things ugly. Otherwise, had this fight took place on planet earth, that would give rise to another ending.”

Zhao Xiaoyu said, “had it been me, I would not start a fight in my own home.”

Shen Lian laughed, “indeed”

The two went silent for a brief moment. Hand in hand, they stared out at the stars in the distance, at the vast universe and its beauty. It was only in situations such as this, one would be able to show some appreciation.

Suddenly Zhao Xiaoyu said: “I really hope that time would stay forever in this moment.”

Before Shen Lian replied, Zhao Xiaoyu said, “You would not have helped me in the past, and now you have saved me. I am very happy, but Xiaoyu would like to ask you for another favor.”

Shen Lian said, “you know I could not reject you now.”

Zhao Xiaoyu then said, “but I am clear that you could bear to at any time.”

Shen Lian went silent. After all, Zhao Xiaoyu understood him more than anyone else.

Zhao Xiaoyu smiled plainly, “But for you to say something like this, even if I were to drop dead at this moment, I would still be very happy. Even if it was untrue, you have rarely said it to someone else. Therefore, in Shen Lian’s heart, Zhao Xiaoyu was different after all.”

Shen Lian tried to speak, but stopped. In the end,no replies could be found.

Zhao Xiaoyu said, “well, I wish to ask you to accompany me on a stroll in the world. I have been trapped for such a long time and am incredibly bored of it.”

Shen Lian nodded. The both of them simultaneously turned into streamers, joining the upper atmospheric wind and instantly reached planet earth. No matter how the human world changed, there would not be much change towards the mountains and rivers of the world.

If the sea changed into mulberry fields, that would mean a long time had passed. A millennium was a long time, but not long enough to turn seas into mulberry fields. Both of them came to a tacit understanding, and went to places they had experienced together. They walked past the mountains and passed through the waters.

Lastly, they arrived at the Qingshui river. The River Deity was no longer there. The Empress had abandoned her identity as a deity two centuries ago, and was once again reincarnated. She was not satisfied with the position of a River Deity, and wanted to achieve higher accomplishments.

Because of the reincarnation of the River Deity, the River Deity Temple was also abandoned. Shen Lian and Zhao Xiaoyu sat on the roof of the River Deity Temple, allowing the wind to blow through the hair and the tip of the brows.

In this journey, they were like a true couple. They cherished each other with tacit understanding, feeling the love and lust of mortals, letting it fill their heart of Dao.

Zhao Xiaoyu also became increasingly ordinary. With her former extraordinary and refined qualities fading, she seemed more like a member of the sentient beings.

She was fully invested in this romance. There was no shred of falsity involved.

The hill people on the other side raised a bonfire, and had began to sing and dance around the bonfire. They were enthusiastic, although their clothings were ragged, it could not conceal the smile from their hearts.

Zhao Xiaoyu said, “let us dance too.”

Shen Lian hesitated, “forget it.”

Zhao Xiaoyu would not have it any other way. She pulled him across the river, both of them descending from the sky and landed into the crowd of people near the bonfire,which cause a commotion.

The hill people swung their limbs even more impulsively, with extreme enthusiasm.

Zhao Xiaoyu enjoyed this atmosphere. Pulling Shen Lian, making him twist and turn his limbs, her laughs were like a crisp silver bell, leading the atmosphere of the song and dance to a climax.

Shen Lian just moved according to Zhao Xiaoyu. Gradually he was infected by the passionate atmosphere, he forgot the difference between a mortal and immortal and knew not what a heart is.

Zhao Xiaoyu and Shen Lian were after all, not ordinary people. They did many special gestures without a care in the world, and attracted roaring applause of the hill people.

When the bonfire has gone out, Shen Lian and Zhao Xiaoyu left quietly.

Ever since the start of practice and cultivation, Shen Lian has had very little sleep. He slept soundly that night, with no worry in his heart.

When he woke up, Zhao Xiaoyu has gone. A leaf was in front of him, and two lines of words were written on it:

All kinds of supernatural power, endless ingenious Dao, were incomparable to you.

Forget me not.
