Chapter 498 Carving (1/2)

Shen Lian was currently at Xicheng, West Town, where traders and diplomats from other countries gathered. With the crowd, it had a thick air of the secular mortal world.

He strolled around the streets and listened to the hawkers crying their wares. There were all kinds of people in the restaurants, discussing what was happening in their respective countries. The messages all went by his heart. He could manage the messages in his surrounding better now.

Despite being able to read everyone's mind, in the face of all kinds of odd thoughts, he could still be an impartial observer and could predict what would happen to everyone in the next moment.

This was not to deduce the designs of nature but to perform an accurate analysis.

He did not even spend much effort, as it was conducted by his enormous Primordial Spirit subconsciously.

The ancestral hall of Xia Kingdom where he was at before was protected by a mysterious power. Shen Lian did not have the intention to discover further.

On the other hand, he was touched by Ming Luo's demonic blade, which in turn caused some mild changes in his temperament. It was because of Yanxu's Sky Demon Method.

During the bier discourse of Dao, Yanxu was, in fact, dead, but the key message of Sky Demon Method and Dream Heart Sutra was to turn everything in life into an illusion until eventually, one woke up from it, it would then be transcendence.

As such, the meaning of death did not mean death to Yanxu who was an expert. Even though countless clones of Yanxu and his egos were destroyed, he too planted a seed of himself in Shen Lian during the few encounters. If one day Shen Lian decided to let go of the boundaries and to be reckless, Yanxu could then make use of his shadow to reincarnate himself.

This generation of Shen Lian had a minor difference with the one from before. He did not realize before that he actually shared a similar personality with Yanxu, but the main difference was that Shen Lian had his boundary and Yanxu did not.

If others took note of it, they would perhaps be paranoid, and try out all the methods to eliminate the shadow of Yanxu, but after Shen Lian was made aware of it, he just laughed it off.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

He knew how he was like and there was no definition to it. Shen Lian felt that he was like water which took the shape of the environment it was in.

A stream of water falling from the cliff would lead to the formation of a grand waterfall, but if it flowed downwards slowly, it would then become a clear and beautiful stream. Hundreds of rivers gathered and then the sea would be formed. A puddle would be formed if water flowed inside a pothole.

Because he understood it, Shen Lian could then live freely and easily.

Ming Luo was still alive, but he did not live in a complete way. He stood quietly outside the ancestral hall. The blade in his hand was filled with demonic characteristics. The soldiers who followed him to the ancestral hall all went mad and dropped dead, because the demonic characteristics of the demonic blade lit up the accumulated Qi of devilry within themselves, and messed up their thoughts.

Emperor Xia visited the ancestral hall himself, and he saw how Ming Luo look, and the demonic blade in his hand. The blade had become something that could absorb the essence of sun and moon by itself, and it could even swallow the essence of living beings. To some extent, this blade had become a demon.

Emperor Xia took away the demonic blade and took away Ming Luo's body. His most devoted dog had now lost his spirit, and only his body remained.

The chancellors thought Emperor Xia would try every method to find the murderer, and it was clear to everyone that the murderer was the person who moved the mountain in the morning, but Emperor Xia did not do anything, everything was business as usual.

The chancellors were nervous in the beginning, as even Ming Luo was killed by that person. They all wondered who would be next.

As Emperor Xia was so calm, the chancellors all felt more relaxed subconsciously.

For ten days, nothing happened in Diqiu.
