Chapter 632 The Same Dream (2/2)

It was a matter of course, but ultimately, Shen Lian was who he was because of the important people in his life. Hence, instead of feeling happy, he was feeling rather melancholic.

Fang Yanying's pain was temporary but Shen Lian's grief would last a long time.

The reason was so because Fang Yanying chose to walk on the path of the killing sword, just like Chen Jianmei. As there was only oneself, hence, there was no self. As Fang Yanying was one with compassion, she would eventually end up walking on the path of heartlessness.

This was, however, not the highest state for swordcraft as Shen Lian came to a revelation at that moment. The heaven and earth were born being and being was born from non-being, and from non-being, there came the being. The heaven and earth were born from being and hence, it was a circle with no end. It was the most beautiful and kind swordcraft but not the highest swordcraft.

The only thing was whether Chen Senior Apprentice-Brother was aware of it when he was using the Anatta Sword. Shen Lian could not be sure, otherwise, Chen Jianmei perhaps could have survived. However, other than Chen Jianmei himself, no one would know about it.

He needed to look for an opportunity to share his revelation with Fang Yanying, in hope that she would understand. Otherwise, when Fang Yanying became completely heartless, it would be irreversible.

Shen Lian continued to walk towards a cave which was behind the line of Taixu section. A long time ago, grandmaster Ziling used to isolate herself in there to heal herself. Currently, it was Ruoxi who was inside.

The cave was filled with ice formed by Ice Light. After a thousand years, it continued to absorb the spiritual opportunity of Zifu peak and the Daoist rhythm of Daoist master Taiyi. The Xuan Ice was inseparable from Ruoxi. If Shen Lian were to break the ice, it would mean to hurt Ruoxi.

In addition, Ruoxi was still fighting against the will of the Primal Lord of Grand Simplicity in her sleep.

Even with the barrier of the Xuan Ice, Shen Lian could feel a strong will, like a star which never seemed to fade.

However, even with such a strong will, Ruoxi's body was not entirely under her control.

It was not that Shen Lian could not do anything. If Ruoxi was dreaming, Shen Lian too could be dreaming.

They would have the same dream this day.

Shen Ruoxi had died again and again. She could no longer differentiate whether it was a dream or another karmic cycle. The first time she died, she was born as a Young Lady of a rich family. Out of curiosity, she ran away from home with a poor scholar. They were stopped by her family and eventually the scholar dumped her. Her reputation was tainted and eventually, she was nailed to death in a coffin.

Since then, her soul was filled with anger and as such, it was easier for her soul to retain its form compared to others. It also helped her retain the memories of her past life.

However, after every reincarnation, her memories would disappear. Until the moment right before her death, she would then regain her memories of the past.

This time she was dead again. Just like in the past, she would reincarnate again.

She thought that this time around, it would be a mystery in the fetus but this time, it was not. She was born in an extremely wealthy family and to be exact, she became the Princess of a Commander. She was well loved but such happy times did not last long.

When she was eight, a Daoist nun arrived at the residence and she killed everyone within the residence and took her away. The Daoist nun was apparently the lover of her father but her father, in the end, married her mother instead. After she attained Dao, the first thing she did was to seek revenge. In the Daoist nun's words, it was to cut the ties.
