Chapter 299 The City of Vain Deaths (1/2)

Yan Bugui left but Shen Lian continued to stay at the top of Zifu Peak.

He sat there cross-legged, purple Qi was billowing in the sea of clouds, looking super lonely.

In between, Gu Caiwei came once and left shortly because Shen Lian looked well. Of course, the last time Gu Caiwei met Shen Lian was already one month ago. If she saw Shen Lian again at that moment, she must have thought that Shen Lian indeed was doing very well, perhaps maybe too well.

Shen Lian looked clean and bright from his head to toes, just like the wax sculptures created by the artists in the mortal world. Although he still looked the same as before, his body was translucent and crystal clear, it was almost impossible to find any dust on him.

His charisma was so miraculous, like the Nine Heavens' celestials, transcended beyond the human world.

But if anyone looked into Shen Lian's eyes, they could be shocked because this pair of eyes had no glow and they looked hollow.

These were not human being's eyes, and it definitely was not any celestial's eyes.

This Shen Lian looked as though he was just a body that had lost its soul.

His soul was really not within his body. His spirit has traveled to a place that was out of his expectation; the Taiwei Pavilion.

Due to Taiwei Pavilion's specialty, it could allow Qi of Sky Demon to hide within and nobody could discover. It could even integrate with Taiwei Pavilion as one, to convert evil Qi to Qi of Dao.

Shen Lian's physical body was still on top of Zifu Peak, together with the boulder which he was sitting on, breathing and receiving the essence of heaven and earth at the same time. The surroundings were filled with orchids. Occasionally, when a dew fell on the boulder, it would be infected by Shen Lian's good fortune and that a strong spirituality would emerge.

This kind of strength seemed insignificant at first but after years and years, this spirituality could grow so strong that it could make the boulder turn into a creature.

Shen Lian did not bother about all these, his spirit traveled to a strange place.

In the Boundless Universe, there were actually a lot of spaces hidden that human bodies could not enter. Even the spiritual consciousness could not even find this kind of space, but they actually exist.

It was just like when one was dreaming, sometimes one would dream that one went to an unfamiliar place but everything that happened seemed so real. When one woke up, it was difficult to find any trace of that place in reality.

Perhaps that place really existed, but in reality, one could never get in there.

Shen Lian's spirit was tracking down for evil Qi and it reached Taiwei Pavilion. However, in an instant, he came to a peculiar place. Right in front was a fortification, and on top of the city gate were five words - The City of Vain Deaths.

The City of Vain Deaths. It literally meant the residence of those that died in vain. The meaning of dying in vain was not dying of old age but due to suicide, disasters, wars, accidents, murder or being murdered. Those who died being wronged were known as dying in vain.

Shen Lian even knew that places like The City of Vain Deaths definitely did not only exist in Nine Underworlds, the Netherworlds. There was once an almighty from a Buddhist sect who sympathized with those living creatures who died in vain and so he opened up an independent space to serve as shelter for these living creatures' souls, also known as The City of Vain Deaths.

The City of Vain Deaths could not accommodate living creatures. Some immortal Zhenrens who had special martial exercises could also create such a space. This was a place that a living person could not enter but only the dead.

Shen Lian was a living person, but then he was a spirit, a spirit that was tracking down the source of evil Qi.

This City of Vain Deaths could even be considered still inside Taiwei Pavilion. The only thing about this place was that this space was special and thus it was difficult to be discovered.

There, it did not have spiritual force, there was nothing at all.

Shen Lian stepped into The City of Vain Deaths. His speed was so fast that he entered into the city in a split second.

But he was not curious about why he could be so fast because he was as if a mere thought.

In the City of Vain Deaths, there were a lot of shops and stalls. There were also a lot of hawkers. There was a river that looked similar to River of Spirits that cut through the city center. What made it different was that both sides of the river were residences.

There were also livestocks such as cows, mules, donkeys, cars, sedan chairs, boats of various sizes, houses, bridges, towers, and buildings.

Everything here looked almost the same as the prosperous cities in the mortal world.

Shen Lian enjoyed his leisure walk. He was more like a mister that was strolling around aimlessly.
