Chapter 525 General Trend (1/2)

The vague shadow of the Register of Life and Death flashed across Shen Lian's mind briefly but it left a deep impression on him.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

That was the manifestation of the Dao of Life and Death, the roots of the Netherworld, the source of the power of this universe, the existence of every being, and the secrets of the karmic cycle.

Shen Lian believed that he was not the only person who was interested in the Register of Life and Death. After all, the secrets of the karmic cycle were irresistible.

Furthermore, if someone else took control of the Register of Life and Death and used the resources of the Netherworld, the person would be a big threat and it would be a bitter pill for every great existence out there.

Shen Lian had yet to figure out why Diqiu underwent such a drastic change. But he felt that the reason was related to Wen Zhong or more specifically, Wen Zhong's master. Wen Zhong's master must have been a great existence from the ancient times who could match or even was more advanced than the level of Taiyi.

He was fully aware that the Netherworld was closely related to the legends and history of the world, and believed that the answer would eventually surface and things would get interesting.

The monk from the Dajue Temple was struggling to break free from the 'Grounded Circle' outside of Zhiwei Temple and had no idea of the changes that happened in Diqiu. The grounded circle was a highly skilled method where Shen Lian used his divine thoughts to create a special realm within reality that felt like a dream that was difficult to be awakened from.

Even the most outstanding disciple of the Dajue Temple could only meditate to keep himself calm when dealing with this entrapment created by someone like Shen Lian. It would have been more difficult for him to escape if he fell into an illusion instead.

Shen Lian observed the monk silently. The Buddhist sect's state of the four Dhyanas and eight Samadhis was the basis for the detachment of all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Although Shen Lian did not cultivate Buddhist methods, it still served as a good reference for him.

At this very stage, he was already qualified to pursue the path of supreme detachment and to him, that was the most interesting thing in the world.

…... ...

Mu Zhen stood by the Meridian Gate and could feel the raging Qi dynamics that stirred up Wangcheng earlier. He also sensed the incomparably sharp Qi of the blade and felt fearful of Empire Xia. That fear had strengthened his determination to move Xuanzhen Temple out of Xia Kingdom.

If it was the past, the Seven Disciples of Xuanzhen could have put on a fight against Emperor Xia. But over the years, Muzhen had seen Emperor Xia's cultivation level increased greatly and their fate would eventually lie on Emperor Xia's hands.

Emperor Xia had never concealed his Qi dynamics. Like the sun and the moon, he was not afraid to show it all.

Muzhen tried his very best to tone down his breath as he peeped into the Meridian Gate. He wondered what happened after that Qi of the blade flashed across. He waited and waited but no one brought out any corpse from the gate.

”Are you waiting for me?”

Muzhen turned his head and saw a man with a green headband with a headful of grey and black hair. The man was taller than average and as riding on an ink black Qilin.

His gaze was not as mysterious as other cultivators and in fact, it was extremely bright. When he set his gaze on Muzhen, Muzhen did not dare to have any ill intentions as if that person had some sort of prestige yet it was not as terrifying as Emperor Xia.

Muzhen bowed down and said, ”I am here on the advice of the State Preceptor.”

”State Preceptor?” Wen Zhong tilted his head and questioned.
