Fang Yanying paused for a moment as her eyes had a hint of confusion. She absent-mindedly said, “One night when I was in spiritual calmness, I opened my eyes and realized that I was not at the Temple of Killings but at a strange place. I spent quite a significant amount of time cultivating and fight there, and as a result, my cultivation experience grew remarkably. I woke up after that, thinking it was a dream, but I had the same level of Qi of vitality in me like when I was in the dream. I remember going into concentration around the evening but I woke up just before night. The Qi of essence and experiences in the dream belonged to me so it took me only half a day of meditation to reach the tenth level of the Shapeless Sword incantation.”

Shen Lian was curious. If Fang Yanying was telling the truth, she clearly had an out-of-body experience while meditating and roamed to a different world to experience her new body. As the divine aura and the Qi of essence belonged to the same source, her experience was stored in her consciousness. As she returned, she was able to breakthrough continuously and made massive progress with her cultivation experience.

Zhao Xiaoyu said, “Your case seemed a little strange. It was somewhat similar to the legendary almighty that incarnated to roam around the world. It was also similar to a supreme existence in the Buddhist sect that attained Dao in his dreams. But I could tell that your state now is far from reaching that level.”

After all, it was not convincing to use the incarnation of an almighty to explain Fang Yanying’s situation. If that was the case, she would have obtained part of her memories from the previous life instead of experiencing a new life and bringing back the Qi of essence as she described.

It would make sense if a supreme existence withdrawn her divine aura and sent it to a different location. But who would do such a mana sapping thing and it would be a lot easier to just take her away and teach her.

Shen Lian thought about it, and he too had such an experience. He said, “When you dream, did you still possess the memories of before you awaken?”

Fang Yanying answered, “Uncle-master, it felt like I was dreaming in whichever world that I woke up at. The mes in those worlds, were still me.”

Shen Lian responded, “Looks like it was very different from my experience.”

More than anyone, he knew that this body belongs to ‘Shen Lian’ and he was not Shen Lian.

Speaking of which, if Fang Yanying’s experience would recur over time, it actually sounded like a fictitious character he came across in his previous life. The protagonist would travel into different parallel worlds to cultivate and then returned to contribute to the real world, and finally detached from the world.

Such thought piqued his interest. If one day he could master the Milky Way Sword, he might be able to use the characteristics of the Milky Way to transport a person or their spirits via the Milky Way Sword seed through the Milky Way to the universe that was once governed by the Heaven Courtyard. With that, he could train his disciples and experiment with cultivating methods in other worlds. It would spark new ideas and add value to Qing Xuan’s heritage.

Staying in the same spot would lead to biased thoughts. As a million changes in the universe could lead to countless possibilities, the broader the scope of approach, the more point of views of cultivation could be gained. And then finally, touched on the most essential of the universe to achieve enlightenment like Buddha and Daoist Masters, reap the Daoist results and detached from everything.

As his train of thoughts moved, he realized how precious the Milky Way Sword seeds could be. It was not just a simple mode of transportation but a spectacle for him to view the different worlds from different points of view. In fact, this could possibly help him gain insights into the mind of celestials who transcended beyond the mortal world.

He had such massive sentiments by just obtaining the Milky Way Sword seeds and he could only imagine the ambitions of the Emperor that probably has crossed beyond the Milky Way and roamed around every corner of the universe. The prosperity or the failure of this world probably did not matter at all.

Shen Lian too understood the reason why the grandmaster’s Qi quality has changed so drastically after she achieved the Boundless Taiyin. After all, the grandmaster already had the ability to cross the Milky Way and after mastering the Boundless Taiyin, she would have to challenge Lu Jiuyuan. The current heaven and earth would not be worthy of her anymore and Qing Xuan’s matters would be trivial issues to her.

When the time comes, it would be destined to part ways with the grandmaster.

Fang Yanying and Zhao Xiaoyu were unsure of what was on Shen Lian’s mind. They could feel the changes in his fluttering temperaments and it felt like he was about to take off with the wind.

Zhao Xiaoyu let out a coon and shook Shen Lian out of his train of thoughts.

The fluttering temperaments vanished.

Shen Liam smiled, “Yanying, you’re a special case. I am heading to Mount Zhong and that place is about a million miles away from here. I’m planning to use two years time to walk there. How about you join me on my journey?”

Fang Yanying was stunned, “But if I leave, what about the Temple of Killings?”

Shen Lian replied, “You have proved that you are capable of protecting the Temple of Killings. Moreover, the current you are as skillful as the Senior Apprentice-Brother Chen back then. I would also like to find out more about your dream cultivation as it might be useful for my cultivation. Are you not willing to help me for once?”

Fang Yanying could not say anything else and agreed to Shen Lian’s request.

Only Zhao Xiaoyu knew that Shen Lian was giving her one of the biggest fortunes ever. As they arrive Mount Zhong, Shen Lian would be having a sword duel against Chen Beidou. This would be the most interesting duel in the history of the cultivator of sword. Any swordsman would die in peace if they had the chance to witness this battle.

As Fang Yanying’s swordcraft had achieved a certain format, Shen Lian could no longer use his swordcraft to guide her. All he could do for her was to use the most anticipated sword duel to fuel her cultivation.

Zhao Xiaoyu would love to go and watch too. It was not because of the prestige of the sword duel, but because she was genuinely worried about Shen Lian. But deep down, she knew that she cannot be there at Mount Zhong. Chen Beidou may be able to tolerate Fang Yanying who had yet to achieve immortality to watch the duel but he would never allow Zhao Xiaoyu, a deity, to be there. It was because her presence would affect their duel.

Zhao Xiaoyu knew that Chen Beidou loaned his Celestial Trapping Sword to Shen Lian. It was also at that very time that the date of the sword duel was set. Chen Beidou gave him three years to prepare. He did Shen Lian a favor, hence it was reasonable for Shen Lian to guarantee the fairness of the duel.

Shen Lian noted Fang Yanying’s acceptance and said, “Let’s make a move now.”
