Chapter 619 When The Flower Bloomed, It Saw Me, and I Saw Tathagata (2/2)

When Lu Ya used the Celestial Slaying Sword with his spirit, Qi, and essence in one, his sword would be as powerful as karma. No matter how powerful the opponent was, his body and spirit would vanish completely.

In the besiegement of the top three masters, regardless of how arrogant Lu Ya was, he never had the chance to blend spirit, Qi, and essence into one to summon the Celestial Slaying Sword. Also, once the sword came out, his Qi would weaken significantly, hence, opening room for the others to attack.

Shen Lian constantly felt the pressing of the Register of Life and Death. He could not move, and in the process of fighting against the Register of Life and Death, he slowly analyzed the real form of the power of the Register of Life and Death.

Life and death stood just like Yin and Yang. Thus, there was a saying whereby there was the realm of the living as the Yang and the realm of the dead as the Yin. However, the Netherworld no longer looked to be ghostly as the sun brought in Qi of Yang into the world of death. The sun allowed for the world to be inhabited by people wherein the ghostly spirits had weakened significantly since Xia Clan and Dongyi chased them away.

Shen Lian still had not found an answer to why the sun appeared in the Netherworld.

The key reason why Shen Lian found it difficult to oppose the power of the Register of Life and Death was that of the two words, 'Life' and 'Death'. As the power of life and death combined, Shen Lian's celestial body was stuck between destruction and rebirth.

Furthermore, this situation got worse every time the rebirth and destruction happened. Shen Lian's spirit within the celestial body was eroded each time which was equivalent to his Primordial Spirit and his essence being separated alive by the millstone.

If one had to use a metaphor to describe, Shen Lian was currently being tortured like a normal human being.

This was directly reflected in the psyche and the pain it brought along was a thousand times or ten thousand times worse than the torment a normal human being went through. If Shen Lian did not possess a firm Daoist heart, by then he would have lost his mind and would no longer resist.

Shen Lian made use of many techniques, including Dream Heart Sutra and Free Form Incarnation. However, in the face of this event, the methods remained futile and not even the Mastery of Senses could help.

Every method was meaningless in the face of the Millstone of Life and Death. It was as if he could only wait for his death.

Shen Lian did not intend to give up. There was fear in between life and death, there was too, freedom.

His Primordial Spirit got rid of the pain and he began to observe the reaction of every inch of his celestial body after destruction and rebirth so that he could analyze the real structure of the power of the Register of Life and Death.

By deducing using the Dao of Yi and finding the source, he would find the solution.

It took tremendous effort and he had little time left. Once he broke the power of the Register of Life and Death, it would bring great benefit to him. After the self-imposed heaven and earth, he still had to recreate the karmic cycle, otherwise, the living beings in the self-imposed heaven and earth had no place to go and could not go through the karmic cycle again.

This experience potentially determined whether he could find the answer to the mystery of the karmic cycle.

The sea of blood was vast and the endless waves were crashing into a small hill.

”Benefactor Chen, you can't leave the sea of blood.” The voice of Buddha rang through the sea of blood, soothing the blood waves.
