Chapter 168 Birthless (1/2)

Many years ago, the Deity Vanquishing Sword has always been one of Shen Lian’s strongest means. Its directness in attacking the spirit was as though it would tear apart all of the protection and everyone would be brawling barely. Those who are strong would win but even with that victory, because of the blows received on the body, the victor would also suffer from injuries.

Some say that the fastest thing in the universe is not light but the thoughts of the human mind. At the movement of a thought, the barrier in space could be ignored.

Shen Lian turned his spiritual consciousness into a sword, as though this gleam of the blade had existed since the beginning of time, and vehemently stabbed right into Chao Xiaoyu’s mind.

Like the movement of a thought, it was so rapid that she could not even react at all.

Chao Xiaoyu was the deity, so Shen Lian had to vanquish that deity.

The ‘Deity Vanquishing Sword’ was born to vanquish deity.

He no longer needed to have his entire spirit to leave his body when using the deity vanquishing sword this time, it was also not simply the power of the Yin spirit. With the spiritual consciousness and the sword will combine, it produced something that is between the spirit and the spiritual consciousness.

Shen Lian suddenly had an understanding, in his mind, he called it as ‘sword consciousness’. The sword would be the sword will of the grandmaster Yuanqing, consciousness would be from oneself. This was a different feeling from the Yin spirit leaving the body. Even though the Yin spirit was real and condensate, but it would still really fragile compared to the flesh. Consciousness was like the ultimate condensation of the power of the spirit, it could almost become a substance. Like the most ordinary charcoal, after going through immense pressure and by chance, its quality changed and it becomes a diamond that is can be all conquering.

The fundamental elements of the diamond and charcoal are the same but it is its structure that underwent a miraculous transformation that could turn rotten and foul to the rare and ethereal.

This transition was like the changes of the layers in life, it was also like the ape had suddenly evolved into a man.

The sword consciousness was a thought, it could jump around and move. Now that Shen Lian was using the sword consciousness as his eyes, he had entered a universe. The surroundings were a borderless huge world with a lotus throne in the center. The lotus has a total of nine petals, the number nine being the ultimate number of the universe. To be more precise, the world has ‘nine’ Daoist techniques and supernatural powers, it describes part of the dictum of the universe.

Only by understanding the abstruse of the universe, then can one be detached from the universe.

People are born and they die in this universe, in this cage. For many years, they could not break free of it. Those who pursued Dao wants to leave this cage. Like the bird in a cage, even though there are no worries while being in the cage, but the world outside of the side is what it would strive for.

Chao Xiaoyu sat crossed legged on top of the lotus throne, she was clad in a plain white dress skirt and she was graceful. It was as though watching the true embodiment of the Bodhi in the deity’s ultimate teachings for people to worship and for the Bodhi to command the fate of this world.

Shen Lian was no longer a human but a sword. Since the beginning of time till now, the gleam of the blade had never been extinguished as it vibrated continuously. It is beyond the horizon but it is also so close within distance.

Within Chao Xiaoyu’s mind, this distance was not measurable like how it would be in reality.

This distance, when far and high up, would be like the sun and moon. When it is near and close, it would be like lovers.

Chao Xiaoyu can clearly feel an extremely sharp breath that disregards the barrier in space, which caused her to be extremely uncomfortable.

In this psyche world, she is the god. She is the Goddess of Mercy, she is the dharma character of the ninth level of the lotus bier. The dharma character originally did not have a name but because of Chao Xiaoyu, it got named ‘Chao Xiaoyu’. This was transformed from her divinity. The divinity is like a kindling material and the streams of pilgrims are like a pile of firewood. Once there is enough firewood, the divinity will light it up which would then become the divine fire. To build the divine country, she was no longer the divine for herself but the divine for the masses. She could also become the Dao and domineer over the masses.

Chao Xiaoyu was emotionless when she saw this gleam of the sword that suddenly came from this universe to destroy every living creature, she then lifted a finger.
