Chapter 33: The Saint’s Tao Heart Is Broken

Somewhere at the foot of the Qiongming Peak, a place was chosen for the Jade Rabbit to compete with Shen Xiangling.

The night Bai Lian caught it, the Jade Rabbit was afraid of Bai Lian’s and An Lan’s power, so it didn’t show its true skills at all.

Tonight is different. The rabbit made the decision to finish the fight fast after being tempted by a Thunder Bud. To avoid drawing attention to themselves, Shen Xiangling and the Jade Rabbit were extremely reserved and avoided using moves with a wide attack range.

This just gave the Jade Rabbit room to play.

It would have needed some time to get close to Shen Xiangling under normal circumstances. It kicked Shen Xiangling to the ground and moved through the crimson fog in front of it with ease.

This happened so quickly that Shen Xiangling fell to the ground and didn’t recover for a long time.

I lost? The fact that the rabbit squatted on the stone and stopped attacking, seemingly waiting for her to stand up and resume the fight, was the thing she found most unacceptable. The rabbit obviously didn’t take her seriously! A deep feeling of humiliation arose. Half an hour ago, the sect elder sent Shen Xiangling a message. She was asked by the elder to test Bai Lian’s strength in secret.

When she applied for a challenge, the leader of the Duxian sect quickly agreed.

Shen Xiangling was full of ambition. She had imagined that she might lose to Bai Lian. After all, Bai Lian was a “Natural Saint.”.

But to her surprise, she even lost to Bai Lian’s pet. 

A rabbit!

And she was beaten by the rabbit!

Shen Xiangling’s mentality was about to collapse.

Her pet is already so powerful. How strong must she be?

The Nascent Soul Stage?

And it is most likely not at the beginning stage.

You know, Bai Lian is only eighteen!

She had a difficult time becoming the Saint of the Biluo sect. However, despite her best efforts, she was unable to close the distance with Bai Lian and instead discovered that their strengths were quite different.

Shen Xiangling felt desperate. Her imagination could not keep up with Bai Lian’s growth speed. Even the Holy Son of the Biluo Sect was probably no match for Bai Lian.

After many years, she will surely be completely overwhelmed by Bai Lian and will never get even.

Even the Biluo sect may not escape this fate.

“Haw!” The Jade Rabbit looked at Shen Xiangling lying on the ground in doubt.

It waited for a long time, but Shen Xiangling still didn’t stand up.

Did I win?

Thinking this way, the Jade Rabbit ran happily towards the top of Qiongming Peak.

……

At this point.

In the main hall of Yunluo Peak.

Jue Yunzi and the others were watching the battle between the Jade Rabbit and Shen Xiangling.

The moment the Saint fell down, several elders took a breath.

“Too, too amazing!”

One of the elders asked Gaoyi, “You have contacted Bai Lian several times. What is her real strength?”

Gaoyi shook his head blankly. “I don’t know.”

He has overestimated Bai Lian as much as possible, but he found himself still underestimating her.

It is so terrible.

Jue Yunzi smiled bitterly, “Maybe only younger Martial Sister An Lan knows.”

“Go and invite younger Martial Sister An Lan!”

Jue Yunzi said, “She left the Duxian sect a few days ago. She said she planned to find a new, younger Martial Sister for Bai Lian. I can’t get in touch with her now.”

“?”

The elders were confused.

What’s wrong with An Lan?

She was the only one in the whole Qiongming Peak for almost 300 years. How can she be so diligent in taking disciples recently?

Jue Yunzi shook his head. “Let’s not talk about this. Bai Lian’s actions are somewhat frivolous after all. She let her pet fight, which hurt the little girl of the Biluo sect badly. Let’s think about how to deal with it. That barbarian of the Biluo sect won’t give up easily!”

“This is really a headache.” Gaoyi frowned. “If only younger Martial Sister An Lan were here, that barbarian would have to take a detour when he saw her.”

While they were talking, Shen Xiangling staggered to her feet.

She wanted to turn around and leave, but somehow she came to the top of Qiongming Peak.

The Jade Rabbit was holding and gnawing a purple spiritual herb with electric sparks.

Bai Lian was not idle either. She was concentrating on dealing with the maltose in her hand.

“Why are you here?” Bai Lian was stunned.

Does this woman still want to challenge her?

She soon found something wrong.

Shen Xiangling’s pupils were dilated, and her eyes were dim. She looked as if she had been badly played.

“Ah, this…” This is a big problem!!!

Bai Lian felt a slight guilt. After surveying her surroundings, she gestured to the stone seat across from her and remarked, “Sit down!”

Shen Xiangling sat down. Bai Lian hesitated for a while and then handed over half of the maltose she had picked to the Saint. Give her some sweets first!

Shen Xiangling subconsciously took the maltose.

Bite.

Click.

The stick that held up the maltose was bitten off.

Bai Lian warned, “You can’t eat the stick.”

“Oh.”

Shen Xiangling reached out to take out the broken wooden stick. She stared at the stone table in silence. For a long time, she asked, “Why are you so strong?”

Um. Bai Lian nodded.

She can speak normally. It seems that the Saint’s fighting will has not been completely destroyed yet.

Bai Lian said, “Good question!”

Of course, Bai Lian dares not tell Shen Xiangling the truth.

“Do you know what this is?”

Bai Lian pressed her heart.

“Boobs…”

Bai Lian seriously corrected her, “It’s the heart!”

It is a gift from the system, the [Innocent Heart]!

Even if questioned by Shen Xiangling, who is actually much stronger than herself, Bai Lian can still remain calm.

“……”

“You have an inner demon!” Bai Lian spoke nonsense.

Shen Xiangling didn’t say anything. She knew that Bai Lian was right.

She was ashamed to mention it to outsiders. She had almost failed to survive the Golden Core Tribulation because of an internal demon.

Today, she was suddenly and utterly defeated by Bai Lian’s pet. Her heart has been completely confused.

“Cultivation, in the final interpretation, is about the mind. It doesn’t matter if you have poor qualifications. But if your Tao Heart has been lost, how can you get past the thousands of temptations in the world? How many geniuses have fallen in the tribulations because of their weak minds?”

Shen Xiangling smiled bitterly. “I understand.”

Bai Lian said, “You are either bound by this title of being a Saint or you are just incompetent as a Saint. Despite your strength, you are not even as good as my younger Martial Sister, in my opinion.”

“……”

“My younger Martial Sister was born with an Obsolete Spiritual Root. She suffered a lot, but she never thought of giving up.” Bai Lian began to boast, “My younger Martial Sister has a lower starting point than all cultivators, but I believe that under the guidance of her firm Dao Heart, within ten years, she will be famous in the East Divine Land and become a more powerful cultivator than me!”

It wasn’t just Shen Xiangling who was stunned, but also the elders and Xiao Jinse, who were secretly listening to their talk.

So, in the eyes of Martial Sister Bai Lian, am I such a powerful person? Xiao Jinse’s heart trembled. Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian is just like her mother!

She couldn’t sleep after hearing that.

Shen Xiangling stared at Bai Lian’s eyes.

There was conviction in those eyes. Yet it was a look like that that abruptly dissuaded her. Xiao Jinse is better than her, right? No. She wanted Bai Lian to see it for herself.

Shen Xiangling stood up, and her eyes revived, “Let’s see at tomorrow’s competition!”

Alas, I haven’t even started to do anything yet. How can you get back to normal by yourself?

Bai Lian was puzzled, but she still said calmly, “Let’s wait and see.”
