Chapter 321 Secular Emotions (1/2)

Shen Lian had stayed at River Deity Temple for one month long. During this time, Chen Jianmei had already left and gone back to the Temple of Killings.

The reason why he went to the River Deity Temple was because, firstly, he wanted to have the aid of divine region's power to guard Ruoxi and secondly, he went there to pay back somebody.

At this moment, in River Deity Temple, Ruoxi already entered the Empress' divine region and absorbing the river basin's spiritual force non-stop. She operated Dream Heart Sutra that the old Daoist had passed to her to transform the part of Fairy Tianmeng's into the butterfly dream.

Therefore, the Synchronized Heart Mantra of Taisu which was part of the divine thoughts that Fairy Tianmeng had sown, penetrated deeply into Ruoxi's self-divine aura. But also because of the Dream Heart Sutra's difficulty to differentiate between self and butterfly, it became a mixture of real and sham.

Just that if Ruoxi would want to Powang in the future, but it would be more difficult. But after all, it was worth celebrating.

Ruoxi entered into a state of spiritual calmness and did not mention a word about cultivation.

At this moment, the Empress was standing by the Qingshui River with Shen Lian. Her increasingly majesty was not distinct from the river. Moreover, if they were to enter the Empress divine region, even Shen Lian had to be at a disadvantage.

Nobody could neglect the power of sentient beings' prayer within the thirty-thousand-miles perimeter.

The Empress waved her wide flocket, then there came an imperial seal on her hand. Above it, there was a clear golden Qi of clouds surrounding the seal, just like a cloud-dragon which had well-defined claws and fangs.

She spoke in an indifferent tone, ”All these years we've been carrying out ceremonial cultivation for this person's imperial seal that made it grew in spirituality. From then, it's used to guard Dawei's fortune of the nation. It could protect the country for at least a thousand years. This time I'd need to trouble you to bring it back to return to Xun Er, to make up for what I owe him.”

Shen Lian stared at the river water. Time passed like a river which flowed unconsciously, and it left no room for regret at all.

He sighed softly and said, ”Zhao Xun wasn't supposed to have the emperor's destiny. This time I help him to change his destiny, I'm not sure if it's considered a good or a bad thing to him.” To borrow the imperial seal, Shen Lian had to owe Zhao Xun a favor.

At that time, his Shushu calculation was already remarkable, he could already predict what was going to happen. However, because of this, he changed the Emperor's destiny, and thus now it would be difficult to predict if it would be prosperity or disaster.

He could read and even change the destinies of secular mortals.

There was nothing to be afraid at this moment. He was not afraid of the destiny nor punishment from ancestors.

After all, going against God's will for immortality was the biggest defiance towards the destiny. For cultivators, the way to achieve immortality was not to base it on their destinies but their own effort to fight for it.

If you chose to believe in your destiny, that would mean you denied the hardships in the past.

Of course, there must be a way things operated in the world. Destiny was only one biggest possibility in the future.

When this possibility was being read like a book, it could definitely be changed. But of course, it depended on the power of the change, whether it would be able to control whether the destiny was on the fixed path.

Shen Lian definitely had the power to control the secular kingdom's rise and fall.

The Empress scoffed, ”Hopefully when he's been through this, he would understand the meaning behind continuous self-improvement, or else he isn't qualified to be my son.”

Shen Lian smiled. After all, the Empress still had feelings, she still never broke away from the secular relationships.

He took over the imperial seal and said, ”I'll go first.”

Dawei, the Capital City, inside the imperial palace.

The present Majesty, Zhao Xun was in Qinzheng Hall. Ever since he succeeded to the throne, he was conscientious. He eliminated all the contemptuous and lenient courtiers since the Empress' dynasty.

Nevertheless, even if he was generous, he could not stop the fight that was getting more and more heated up in the dynasty.

The root cause of this problem was his sister, Princess Yingyang and the Crown Prince, Zhao Xiang who were incompatible with water and fire.

Princess Yingyang took over the entire political assets that the Empress had left behind. Besides, she was also born with good leadership skills and thus there were many courtiers who were her followers.

Since Zhao Xun was born, he was already used to the hideous royal fights which trampled family love.
