Chapter 130 Conferment of a God (1/2)

”Xiao Nu1 know this very well. Now that I have lost my inner elixir and injured my roots, it is inevitable that my soul will dissipate sooner or later. But can Young Master help to reduce my pain, even by just a bit?”

Shen Lian could vaguely hear the soul of the loquat tree sobbing.

He muttered, ”I can do that. How do you want me to help you?”

Loquat tree said, ”Can Young Master keep my soul in your sandalwood sword? I am feeling extremely unsettled under the hot noon sun”. It was not a clump of shapeless and formless soul matter. It was lucky that it had been stored in the shell that was hit by the Divine Lightning, the few days of torture by the hot sun was brutal.

Shen Lian’s sandalwood sword was the right tool for storage of souls and spirits. It was also his instrument for mental practices, so it should be able to keep its spirit for a brief moment, isolate itself from the scorching sun heat and soothe it a little.

Shen Lian replied, ”This is definitely not a problem, come in as you wish.” Since this loquat tree was a pure soul, not tainted even with a slight hint of evil air, plus the fact that it was one of the trees at Mister Su’s, Shen Lian would not leave it to die.

Loquat tree had an innocent mind. It could not detect any ill intentions from Shen Lian, so it safely transformed into a gush of green smoke, left the tree trunk and swiftly entered the wooden sword hung on Shen Lian’s waist.

The wooden sword used to an instrument born out of mind when Shen Lian was practicing the Being and Non-Being of Sword Aura. He would never have thought that this would be the temporary shelter for the soul of the loquat tree from Mister Su’s mansion.

Just as the Loquat Tree soul entered the wooden sword, Shen Lian immediately felt an emotion, as if he was on a brink of life and death.

A wooden sword would have its own soul and spiritual presence as well. As both woods fuse together, that fusion was felt in his limbs as well.

Loquat Tree seemed to feel the same sensation, and it immediately felt in awe.

As Shen Lian thought of an idea, he continued on telepathically, ”I see that even if you temporarily stay in my sword, you will still dissipate sooner or later. I do have an idea to help you survive in this world, not sure if you are up for it”.

”Xiao Nu just wish to steal as many breaths as I can on earth. Why don’t you just reveal your plan, Young Master?” Replied the Loquat tree-soul.

Shen Lian said, ”I can build a temple for you, and put you up as spiritual guardian. You shall guard this place, and as long as you do your best in this job, naturally people will worship you and feed you joss sticks to nourish your soul. However, this method will bind you to this land and take your freedom away”.

This method of bestowment as described by Shen Lian, was actually a conferment. Thought both seemed similar to the path of Shen, it still had a slight deviation from Zhao Xiaoyu’s method.

He had only taken up this method recently. The Divine Qi of Taixu, merged with all beings, granted him with extrasensory with the spiritual presence of the sky, earth, mountains, and rivers. Shen Lian could collect the Qi of earth from this land, turn it into a talisman and apply it onto the soul of the Loquat Tree, granting it the approval from the water and earth elements from this land and not reject it as an evil being.

If it fulfills its responsibilities, guard this land, all the people would eventually worship it and feed it with joss sticks.

This would be a win-win situation and helped restore heavenly orders.
