Chapter 334 There Is Only One Who Can Take My Sword’s Blow (1/2)

The cultivation world was still a place where strength matters. One could be as unworldly as one wants, but it would still be hard for one to be free if one did not have domineering strength.

Therefore, Daoist master Buddha did not only have profound wisdom, he also had supreme power.

Back then, the Heavenly Emperor of the celestial court could restrain the celestial masses was not because of morals, but it was because of its supreme supernatural powers that allowed the Heavenly Emperor to not be bound by the three realms and five elements.

Like Lu Jiuyuan who commands the Xuantian Sect, it would undeniably be the cultivation world's number one celestial sect, no one could shake it.

It is all empty talk if one wishes to remain free and unfettered for the rest of his long life without having any power.

Shen Lian sighed in silent.

He got up and pushed the door open. Ruoxi was outside and she looked at Shen Lian with widened eyes, she asked, ”Who is that person?”

”An old friend.”

Ruoxi seemed a little hesitant and then she displayed a determined gaze as she said, ”I don't like him.”

Shen Lian asked in surprise, ”Why?”

Ruoxi pondered for a while and she answered with all seriousness, ”His vital force is very uncomfortable. You also have that vital force on you, uncle. It's very unclean.”

Shen Lian was clear then. Ruoxi was mentioning about the killing aura that represented fresh blood and death.

Her Daoist body was clean and flawless so it was natural for her to not like it.

Shen Lian's Daoist robe trembled, as though it was shaking something off. His aura was clean and pure as he stood there, which reminded people of the word 'sage-like'. He then smiled, ”How about now?”

Ruoxi pointed her nose upwards and gave a sniff, she then said, ”It's gone.”

Shen Lian smiled inside his mind, she was still a child.

He converged his aura and hid it well. Even with Ruoxi's keen spiritual sense, he still easily hid away from her.

Now, the catkins flew everywhere and the flowers in front of the courtyard blossomed and wilted. The clouds in the sky first came together and then went apart. Ruoxi thought, ”Just how great it would be if time stopped at this moment forever.”

In actual fact, she did not require a lot and she also did not have the resolution to blaze a way through all obstacles in her pursuit of Dao. She only wanted to remain by her uncle's side, always.

Shen Lian gazed at the mountains as the sound of the wind brushed past his ears. He thought about it more. It was not only about himself, there were also others. After all, the manners and morals of the time would still change. He needed to do something for others and himself.

Afterwards, Shen Lian suddenly felt sensed something. With a move of his figure, he appeared outside of Qing Xuan and he saw a young woman coming towards him on a sword gleam. He stopped her.

Once she saw Shen Lian, she immediately recognized him and halted her sword gleam. With a crying voice, she pleaded, ”Martial Uncle Shen, hurry and save my Master.”

Baoyue the Venerable of the Jinguang Temple was famous in Xi Huang and he was also one of the few secular Golden Luohan. His mana and supernatural powers were on par with the eight Zen masters of the main eight sects of Buddhism.

Ever since he brought the rampaging demon king, Mister Sea, under control, his reputation grew and it was even one of its kind.

However, the other monks in Xi Huang dislike him because his Dharma has entered the demon realm. Along with Huike, they propagated controversial doctrines of the study of Zen, which caused the abjectly obedient citizen to not abide by the law anymore.

These monks naturally could repress the masses who were bewitched but it was hard for them to repress the monks who were also bewitched because they too had the Dharma.

As a matter of fact, many of those who heard Baoyue the Venerable and Huike's doctrine afterward did not return. They changed their sect.

The good thing was that Huike had not appeared for a few years now, or else the influence would be much greater.

Even though Baoyue the Venerable was skillful, he was still nowhere close to Huike when it came to bewitching the masses. That was why, ultimately, the monks who changed sect decreased significantly.

Because Baoyue the Venerable was powerful and he had even rein Mister Sea as his disciple, even when there were monks who were dissatisfied with him, they did not dare to approach this Golden Luohan and reason things out.

Mister Sea was originally a sensational figure but once he became a monk, his life became very austere.
