Chapter 558 Human Sacrifice (2/2)
It still remembered the destruction of Shen Lian's human flesh which vanished in a blink of an eye and the unforgettable arrow.
The black tiger could not believe that his master could be easily annihilated. It accompanied Shen Lian for many years and knew of the theory that his master mentioned. That was to transform life into a dream to prevent any harm.
However, this would cause one to be lost in the dream and hard to wake up. Hence, an external force was needed to wake him.
While Shen Lian vanished, the black tiger immediately thought of this. His master could turn into a dream without a trace.
As Shen Lian told the black tiger this, it could be an unintentional act. To construct the lotus-like lamp from the path of Dao, he would never think that the lamp would be his life savior.
The lamp was intended to save the people but it could also save Shen Lian.
...
Shen Lian passed through a blurry time and arrived in a time zone where he could not imagine. The land was filled with mighty mountains. Some of the lands were larger than the Qing Xuan Star. The widespread of flatlands were harder to cross, compared to the galaxy.
There were many formidable vital forces from the sky and land, causing him to feel small and negligible.
However, he could not move to any place and had to stay on the mountain.
This mountain was a young man's colonial. Shen Lian clearly knew the young man. He was Da Yi. He was the person closest to the undefeatable powerhouse after the Emperor.
Da Yi seemed like he was unable to see Shen Lian. In fact, every living creature in the mountain could not see Shen Lian. It was as if he was the passerby of the time, quietly observing the happenings in the mountain but could be part in it.
Shen Lian saw with his own eyes a fierce creature from the state of heavenly immortal easily hunted by Da Yi. However, this did not spark an interest in Da Yi.
Da Yi did not have many friends but he had many tribesmen. He treated his tribe well. Every prey he killed was passed to the tribe but no one dares to go close to him.
This was because he had a naturally born arrogant temperament, so much so that the world could not accommodate him.
The temperament was unlike the unworldly and refined celestials, it's something that the world could not accommodate. Shen Lian could see strings of Dao techniques that transformed into invisible chains, twining around Da Yi.
If the celestials were as strong as Da Yi, they would hide their temperament and communicate with the others. However, Da Yi did not do so. He was being himself. Hence, the world could not accommodate him while he did not take the heaven and earth seriously.
Compared to Da Yi, Emperor Xia was considered as weak.
Although the person was strong, once you got used to it, he could hardly affect you. Moreover, Shen Lian was in a state of a passerby.
He could see and hear but could not get involved.
This might be his state of dream. He could only be a lonely sober but could not get away from the dream. Furthermore, he did not understand the meaning of this dream.
He could only feel the time passing in this boundless never-ending solitary.
