Ye Liuyun answered, “You still remembered. That’s good.”

His voice was slightly low-spirited.

Shen Lian naturally remembered. At that time, Ye Liuyun asked Shen Lian to do him a favor to go look for an object at this one place. To enter that place, he first needed to go through a gate. He already felt that this matter was quite unusual at that time but he still agreed to it. Firstly, he accidentally killed Xiao Zhu off. Secondly, he really understood that Ye Liuyun was no ordinary person and had many secrets. This was what made him curious and also willing to be friends with Ye Liuyun.

He asked coolly, “Brother Ye, where is this place that you want me to go to?”

Ye Liuyun sighed faintly and answered, “Do you still remember that the place I mentioned, you first have to go through a gate?”

“I would naturally remember this. You should be clear that for people like you and I, it is harder to forget than it is to remember.” Shen Lian glanced at him. Now, the other was just a spirit with some cumulus clouds gathered around him. He could not see anything at all.

Ye Liuyun replied, “You are correct. It is indeed harder to forget. That gate is called the ‘Southern Heavenly Gate’. When that moment comes, you will see it. Please enter and help me find the ‘Jinque Jade Booklet’.

Shen Lian’s facial expression showed some surprise. This was because these three words ‘Southern Heavenly Gate’, was exactly the heavenly gate of the legendary celestial court. The celestial court has four main heavenly gates in the east, west, south and north direction. Furthermore, the ‘Southern Heavenly Gate’ was not only one of the gates, it was ‘THE’ gate of the celestial court.

Ye Liuyun asked, “What’s the matter? Brother Shen also knows about the Southern Heavenly Gate?”

Shen Lian answered, “A little here and there. I’ve heard that the Southern Heavenly Gate is the portal to the ‘celestial court’. So the place you want me to go would naturally be the celestial court then?”

“That’s right. The reason I need you, Brother Shen, is because I have already entered the demon realm and I am unable to enter the celestial court. You do not need to fret either. There is absolutely no risk when you enter the celestial court because the celestial court has long been dilapidated and there is no deity guarding it. In fact, someone had entered and exited without a scratch five hundred years go. That person is no stranger to you. That person is Guangqing Celestial Sect’s Yuming the Honored Celestial,” Ye Liuyun nonchalantly answered.

Shen Lian then understood. He already knew about Guangqing’s intention to remold the celestial court. It was a natural matter for Yuming the Honored Celestial entering the celestial court and getting the heritage to follow.

“Since Yuming the Honored Celestial had entered the celestial court, how do you know the ‘Jinque Jade Booklet’ that you want has not been taken?” Shen Lian then asked.

“If he had done so, I do not need to mention anything else other than the fact that you would not be alive today,” Ye Liuyun answered slowly.

“Since this Jinque Jade Booklet is as formidable as you say, you’re not afraid that I would not give it to you once I bring it out?” Shen Lian asked.

Ye Liuyun simply answered, “Since you’re going to the celestial court, you might well look at this ray of spirit, perhaps it would be of help to you.” He avoided Shen Lian’s question.

Shen Lian only saw Ye Liuyun, who was like a cumulus cloud, suddenly transformed into a sword. A sword that symbolizing the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood.

Even with Shen Lian’s knowledge, he had ever experienced such menacing killing aura from a sword will.

When the sword will dissipated, a sword will leaped from Shen Lian’s Primordial Spirit and resonated with him. It was the sword will of Grandmaster Yuanqing, it seemed as though it has a deep connection to Ye Liuyun’s Killing Sword will.

The word ‘Avici’ suddenly appeared in his mind.

At the same time, Ye Liuyun’s sword will continuously disintegrate, any profound mysteries of it was shown without any obstruction.

‘The start of Taichi was boundless [1]… It is not considered high even though it is above Wuji, it is not considered deep even though it is under the Liuhe, it is not considered old even though it grew with the sky and land, it is not considered ancient even though it grew since the ancient times [2]; the origin of the celestial masses, the ancestor of prosperity. The boundless Taixu, silent and solitary, being in the center, floating in Liuxu, it enters and leaves Netherworld, majestic and imperceptible, unique yet unchanging, independent and changeless, revolving, circulating and ceaseless, that can be regarded as the Mother of All Thing.’ The following paragraph of texts was hard to understand. With Shen Lian’s current state, it turned out that he could not really comprehend a lot.

The good thing was that this paragraph was not too long, as though it was just a remnant of some Dao formula with parts of succinct contend and principles lost from the middle part.

When Shen Lian exited from this conception, Ye Liuyun was nowhere to be found.

That paragraph of text was actually a major help for him to comprehend the ‘Avici’s’ sword will. It even made it easy for him to analyze the sword will that he inherited from Grandmaster Yuanqing.

With a flick of his finger, the wisp of sword aura suddenly appeared and penetrated through the roof in an instance. With a sizzling sound, it reached the high skies. It left Shen Lian’s senses within the blink of an eye and it probably had already broken through the skies and reached the highest heavens.

That condensed wisp of sword aura increased by one fold on his previous sword aura.

He did not know the origins of the paragraph of text left by Ye Liuyun but it was so formidable that it allowed Shen Lian to have a deeper understanding of Grandmaster Yuanqing’s sword will, and that his swordcraft has improved significantly.

Furthermore, that text paragraph was just a remnant and it has most of its crucial parts lost.

Of course, for Shen Lian to be able to have reaped such benefits, it was more because of the sword will he has inherited from Grandmaster Yuanqing. Not only that, this text paragraph was like it was tailor-made for this sword will, allowing this sword will to be analyzed.

Shen Lian felt that he had underestimated Grandmaster Yuanqing’s sword will back then. If he truly understood it fully, even though it was nowhere close to the Trapping Celestial Sword, he could still rampage through the universe and train up a supreme crusading Dao army. Even the celestials would be chilled to the bones.

At the same time, curiosity welled up in him. Why did whatever Ye Liuyun had learned have anything to do with Grandmaster Yuanqing?

Also, by really savoring this text paragraph, even though it was somehow related to the demon realm, its ingenuity was similar to Daoism.

There was another suspicious point and that was with Qing Xuan’s formidable Dao restriction, for Ye Liuyun, who was in spirit form and not a Qing Xuan disciple, to trespass the gate restrictions and not alerting anyone at all, it was truly unthinkable.

This was definitely not because Ye Liuyun’s unfathomable cultivation experience was on par with those of the celestial and Buddha sects.

Shen Lian even confirmed that Ye Liuyun did not have the same cultivation experience as he did and he did not cross the threshold that separates the celestials and mortals.

This was because Ye Liuyun’s previous manifestation of the spirit still lacked some transparency.

All these suspicions did not have solutions. However, if it was as Ye Liuyun mentioned, that the Southern Heavenly Gate would naturally appear at that moment and he could see it, Shen Lian would still go and have a look.

After all, the Guangqing Celestial Sect was already on its way of remolding the celestial court and their heritage. Shen Lian needed to get to the bottom of this so that he could deal with Guangqing. This was to avoid having the underhand when a huge war happens. Knowing your enemy and know yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat.

Furthermore, it was too late to resolve the grudges between the two sects.

Shen Lian too was clear about this. Peace can only be achieved through war. Even if he does not want any squabbles while considering the disciples of his sect, he still needed to show the domineering strength or else there would be nothing to be talked about.
