Chapter 603 Back to The God Temple Again (1/2)

The rules of the Netherworld were obviously different from the Qing Xuan star and the Earth. The Netherworld, in the view of the sky, was like the dome, covering the vast fields. In the other hand, Qing Xuan star and the Earth were a spiritual body in the void universe.

The stars from the sky were not stellar but were spirits. Of them, the Sun and the Moon were the most mysterious and unfathomable. Even Shen Lian who had reached the Tianyi state could not understand the moon and the sun unless he crossed the infinite space to have a look in person.

Nevertheless, Shen Lian tried using his divine thoughts. When his thoughts reached a certain level, he noticed a supernatural power that was comparable to the galactic-cutting and space-obstructing power by Heng'e. Unless he was able to break that, he would never be able to get to the stars in the sky.

With essence scattered by the Moon and the Sun in the Netherworld, the accumulation of energy was definitely greater than him. Unless his body was formed from the wise celestials or Buddha, otherwise, it would be tough challenging it.

According to a variety of clues, the Sun and the Moon may be an incarnation of a higher being. The Sun itself was the golden crow who escaped from Da Yi's shooting.

However, as for the origins of the moon, Shen Lian was not sure about it. He felt that the imperial consort that was married to Emperor Xia was related to the moon and in fact, they might be of the same body.

The reason behind their cooperation was beyond Shen Lian's knowledge.

These complicated issues would not be solved just by thinking. Besides that, he had plenty of uncompleted tasks. Hence, it was time to move on.

As Liu Shibei transferred his information, he returned to Shen Lian.

Shen Lian ordered, ”I would like to travel. Since you had been to many places, you could accompany me. At the same time, you could recruit some talents.”

Liu Shibei was excited. Being able to spend more time with Shen Lian was a blessing as he was well known for his extensive supernatural powers and in addition, he was the leader of the three Saints.

”Thank you, Your Highness.”

Shen Lian waved his hand and the royal costume changed into a green- colored Dao suit. There was a red cinnabar in between his eyebrows, which added to his Daoist demeanor.

Shen Lian smiled and said, ”I'm sorry but you had to change your form to a Daoist child and follow me.”

Liu Shibei nodded. The art of illusion was his inborn supernatural power. Swiftly, he shrank his body to the size of a child and changed into a robust Daoist child. Moving a step forward, he giggled, ”May my master grant me a new name?”

Shen Lian answered, ”Since it is September, let's name you after this.”

Liu Shibei bowed with his hands in front, ”September greets my master.”

Shen Lian smiled. Without any movements, the supernatural power acted.

Immediately, both of them disappeared. As they reappeared, they were moving towards the direction of Dongyi. Nonetheless, Shen Lian was not in a hurry. Unless he reached the end of the mountain or the river, he would pass slowly. He wanted to understand the situation in Da Zhou.

Xirong was not peaceful but Li Yuanliang and the other three were used to killing. Hence, they killed a lot of the demons and bandits. From then on, Da Zhou became peaceful and the citizen had a better sense of belonging.

However, Da Zhou was still far from peace and prosperity. It was not even similar to the scenario mentioned in the book, the great harmony. Fortunately, Shen Lian was not pursuing these states. Not everything could be accomplished in one stroke. Gradual progression would be easier to cope in the future.

With supernatural powers, the person would be faster than a mortal. Within a month, when the autumn wind was still blowing, Shen Lian arrived at Mount Mei. Nine years had passed yet everything remained the same. However, Wuzhong Tribe seemed livelier. When Shen Lian stepped into the border, innumerable incense surged, causing air current. Suddenly, the wind rose and flowed into his body. The sky which had no daylight seemed to be gloomier.

Shen Lian's body was like an invisible black hole and he did not feel a thing. Instantly, he absorbed the incense without any disturbance. As he had practiced and cultivated to Taiyi, he could act as he wished. This was because the cultivation was not confined to a grid. If he desired, he could be the God or the celestial. To become the Demon or the Buddha was just a thought away.

All roads lead to Rome. Hence, Taiyi was also known as The One. Cultivation that reached this stage was like a person who passed the examination; they were free to explore.

The strange occurrence alerted Ah Lian who was practicing and cultivating in the precious lamp. She used her thought to figure what was happening. As soon as she saw Shen Lian, she turned to a human form and greeted him.

After greeting, Shen Lian asked, ”Where is your daughter?”

Ah Lian answered, ”Seven years ago, she quarreled with me and left the temple. At that time, something went wrong with my Martial arts training so I was unable to catch up with her. Later on, a businessman came, bringing her message. I was told that she was in Yinshang. My current situation did not allow me to get her back as I cannot leave the god temple.”

Shen Lian calculated and knew that Ah Lian did not lie. He said sassily, ”I came to fulfill my promise. Don't worry.”

Ah Lian was excited. She understood that the Qing Xuan Celestial was here to rebuild her body. Hence, she was able to leave this temple and find her daughter.

Before she could kneel down, Shen Lian pointed the space and a spinning black and white Qi appeared. Shen Lian directed her, ”Quickly enter!”

Yin Qi and Yang Qi were the original creation of all things. The heaven and earth between Shen Lian's eyebrows were not completely cultivated. Hence, the moment he took out the Yin Qi and Yang Qi, he was deferring his own practice and cultivation. Nonetheless, he was a person who returned good for good. Ah Lian sacrificed her flesh and body to become the precious lamp and guided him back. He owed her a debt of gratitude so he did not mind even if it required him to reduce a hundred years' worth of cultivation.
