Chapter 398 Vajra Jiedi (1/2)
The monarch took a furtive glance of Shen Lian's unmeasurable wisdom and quiet down instead.
Those who had followed him for many years knew that the moment the monarch kept quiet was his scariest moment. The monarch now was the same as his ancestors who could measure the gain and losses like an accurate scale.
He spoke slowly, ”The things you wanted, I can give it to you. As long as you can help me.” The Golden Wheel King already had an insight into the nature of this matter. There was no one in this world who had no desire. As long as there was a desire, then there would be a loophole.
Shen Lian looked around his surrounding and quietly asked a question, ”There are too many lost souls here. Do you sleep soundly every night?”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
The Golden Wheel King's eyes became cold, like the giant python, he was boundless and domineering. He plainly asked, ”I see living ones as ants, what more of the dead ones?”
Suddenly, a chilling cold wind blew through the entire palace and countless spots of soft white light slowly appeared. It dyed the floor of the palace, and it slowly converged around Shen Lian's body.
As more syllables sprouted out from Shen Lian's mouth, the Golden Wheel King's eyes got brighter, it showed a kind of desperate desire. This was Yu Duolou's unique Rebirth Mantra. He killed all of Yu Duolou's descendants in hopes of getting this mantra, but to no avail.
He only hated the fact that there were not enough lost souls in the palace. What if the power of rebirth was insufficient, that it was not enough to condense into the true drug of immortality, the Amrtod, would that not leave him with eternal regret?
The last time he got hit by the black gush of Qi in the palace's banquet, everyone thought that it was the Yu Duolou clan's curse. Only he himself knew, that it was the backfire of the consecration to the evil art he had been practicing.
At that point, he had no more vigor to sacrifice and he constantly faced the imminent perils of vanishing in thin air.
The Golden Wheel King hungered and was also afraid. He only needed to wait for Shen Lian to finish reciting the Rebirth Mantra and condense the Amrtod. Then, he would have his hands on it. The best case was to force Shen Lian to give the mantra to him.
Before that, he needed this eastern Daoist because of the amazing holy water that could restore back some of his vigor, he did not expect such a huge surprise.
However, the rolling power of rebirth and the soft white lights were like the flowing water that rushed non-stop, it did not converge neither did it concentrate. It did not show signs of becoming a drop of the Amrtod.
The countless phantoms of the lost souls all bowed towards Shen Lian and entered into the karmic cycle. As for Shen Lian, he was bathed entirely in the soft white flow. It was hard to describe the heavenly and elegant manner.
The Golden Wheel King shouted, ”Where is the Amrtod? My Amrtod! Why is it not condensed?”
Shen Lian plainly smiled as he said, ”I am not of Yu Duolou's bloodline, neither do I possess a Buddhist's heart, how could I condense this medicine of immortality? I am only collecting the power of rebirth while conveniently helping these poor lost souls to cross to the next life. It seems that you, the monarch, still has some conscience in you, since you did not disrupt me.”
The last two sentences were naturally bitter irony. It was then that the Golden Wheel King knew that Shen Lian was toying with him.
He spoke with loathe in his voice, ”If you cannot condense the Amrtod, do not think you can walk out of here today.”
In actual fact, the Golden Wheel King did not plan to allow Shen Lian to get out from here alive at the first place. He knew too much and triggered the rebellion of those low lives. If he had not used one of the Buddhist treasure, his precious body would have been destroyed by the wishes of those low lives.
