Chapter 222 Dongyi (1/2)

After having such thoughts, Shen Lian no longer had greed in his mind. He felt that the pearl light glowing through the wall shined through his clean and stainless heart.

There were many treasures and martial exercises under the sky. Why would he need to waste time and energy on something unknown?

This trip was good enough for his Ice Light training. It was not necessary to overthink it.

It was neither easy nor difficult to take things in moderation.

Shen Lian indeed had a moment of greed but he was able to self-reflect and reminded himself of his priorities.

After ten days of cultivation, he has absorbed quite a bit of Xuanming Qi of Devilry and mastered the Ice Light.

He had a strong mana and yet, he had this heartfelt realization about the mysteries of Xuanmen. Because of that, he was extremely fast when he trained to make the Ice Light. He was able to simplify the procedure, thanks to his strong mana and spirit.

Another ten days had passed as he packed the Qi of devilry that he collected.

He had set the narwhal free; the narwhal lived under the sea, held no grudges against anyone and would not harm others too. If someone or a demon could dive into millions of feet below sea level, the narwhal would probably not be able to handle it. There was no point for Shen Lian to take its life.

Perhaps that it was gifted or because he was frozen by the Ice Light, the narwhal was not harmed by the Xuanming Qi of Devilry and was only frozen in an ice cube. Furthermore, before it fell over and got frozen into an ice cube, Shen Lian used his mana to weave a net and held the body of the narwhal.

To show its gratitude, the narwhal traveled quite some miles to look for million-year-old corals that were rich in soulful aura and extremely rare, and gifted it to Shen Lian.

Shen Lian did not refuse it.

One day, Shen Lian instinctively felt that he had produced enough light and the Xuanming Qi of Devilry in the air has reduced a lot. If to take more, he would have destroyed the balance at the Eye of Sea, and hence, stopped collecting.

If would be a pity if the sinkhole was sealed as a result of running out of Qi of devilry.

Moreover, there was no point for Shen Lian to leave no room for maneuver.

Once he has made up his mind, he decided to leave.

The narwhal who was near Shen Lian noticed the dimmed light and asked, ”Are you leaving already?”

Shen Lian looked at it and smiled, ”What are you up to?”

The narwhal replied, ”I heard that celestials usually have their own mount when they travel as it would make them look more dignified. How about you take me on your mount so you can rest your legs.” After a few days of being around Shen Lian, it realized how powerful Shen Lian could be. It was never easy for demons to attain Dao and shapeshift. If he had Shen Lian, the chances of it shapeshifting would increase greatly. Moreover, based on its observation, Shen Lian's temper was way better than the Black Water King.

Shen Lian smiled and replied, ”You're not quite the level yet, to be my mount. It's better for you to stay here and cultivate. We might not see each other in the future but let me tell you something. Beyond the Eye of Sea is the Black Water Residence. Over this one year, I've been making some waves and it will inevitably cause some trouble. If you want to stay alive, this is not the best place to settle down.”

Shen Lian's not an ordinary person and would not take in any mount so easily. He had Qianmo, but as the chief of Qing Xuan, every step he takes would be reflected on Qing Xuan. Even if he could not travel on a dragon and ride the wind, he would not just take in any demons with origins that he was not aware of.

Rumors travel fast and people generally would not have anything good to say about it. He did not bother about trifles but taboos were taboos. There was no need to be selfish and egoistic and get into unnecessary trouble.

Furthermore, Shen Lian's last advice to the narwhal was made out of good intention. With his Tongtian Skills, he could vaguely predict that a fight would erupt at this very place in the future. If the narwhal insisted on staying back, it would be on the path to death.
