Chapter 566 With Soaring Expectations (1/2)

Lei Jing nodded and stared deeply at Guan Longzi. Finally, she breathed out a faint sigh, then turned towards the entrance and left.

After Lei Jing had left, a drawn-out ray of blood-red light peeled itself off from thefor visiting.

The 'unrivalled' that was spoken of here was not in terms of strength, but in terms of attitude –'as long as there is 'me', there will be no 'enemy'.' Therefore one was able to detach from the importance of life and death as well as success and failure. This person could make precise judgments at any given situation, with no error.

But Shen Lian's response drew a forced smile from Guan Longzi, ”My friend, you are finally determined to mix the right and wrongs in the world. You should know the implications of this. One wrong step and you will lose all that you have cultivated up till now. There is no possibility of turning back.”

Shen Lian gaze sized up the food box that Lei Jing sent a moment ago to Guan Longzi, ”Lei Jing's cook, if my guess is correct, is a person who understands Dao at a high level and is closer to attaining the philosopher's state than you are. If this kind of person could wish to show his splendor in this world, then why should I, Shen Lian, become a corpse-guarding ghost that merely attracts the ridicule of people?”

A dumbstruck look came over Guan Longzi's face, ”My friend, what do you wish to do?”

”If Tianyi obtained him, it will be like a fish back in water. If I, Shen Lian, obtained him, he would be like a dragon that flies in the sky. Seeing as he relied on Jing Er, and knowing his current contradictory attitude, he misses Xia Kingdom. But at the same time, he knows that Xia Kingdom will collapse and he is not willing to be buried with Xia. This is my best opportunity yet.” Within Shen Lian's happy and content appearance, a flash of resoluteness was revealed in its entirety.

Guan Longzi was hardly able to believe him, ”You wish to overturn the destiny of 'Xia replacing Yinshang'. No, you wish to establish a country.”

A person who reached the same heights as Guan Longzi would naturally understand that destiny is a trend. This trend was that Qi cultivators will replace Xia and its governance of the Netherworld. That was the original source of determination for the Netherworld. If these trends were going against, karma will bite back. If one did not stop, defeat and death would be inevitable unless one prevailed over the whole world.

The reason why the Qi cultivators would replace the Xia clan was wholly because Xia's plundering of the world was too severe, and the idea of cultivation was not in line with the development of the Netherworld. But it was none other than Tianyi who represented the benefit of a great Qi cultivator to the Netherworld. Throughout an uninterrupted ten years, he disseminated the pure merit of Buddha. He made a deep-rooted and favorable impression in the hearts of people from many clans, and he gained respect everywhere.

A direct contrast to Xia's brutal plundering, he started off by carrying out trade. From the exchanging of natural resources from all around the world, he made a great contribution to the people of Yinshang. It was only natural that he was even more well-received and welcomed by people from other nations.

Essentially, Yinshang concentrated the natural resources from all around the world by engaging in commercial activities. All these resources were accumulated in Yinshang. Such means, however, showed too much of moderateness.

This particular perspective revealed Tianyi to be proficient Daoist and a brilliant strategist.

If Emperor Xia was not this strong, the accumulation of resources in Yinshang along with the help provided from everywhere else could possibly even replace Xia immediately. It was a pity that the tyranny of Emperor Xia caused the people to be angry, but fearful of showing that anger. This led to the perpetuation of Xia's phase of power over the world.
