Chapter 667 He Is Not as Perfect as You Imagined Him to Be (2/2)

She always believed Shen Lian to be special. Among friends, he was someone worthy of being relied upon. Among colleagues, he was respected. Shen Lian never displayed the kind of attitude that looked down on people, even if it was a disciple with the lowest of cultivation experience in Qing Xuan. He was more than willing to narrate an account of his own experience in cultivation. If today, Kui Li was no more than an ordinary demon, she still believed that Shen Lian would come to her rescue. It was simply a question of friendship and nothing else.

From Kui Li's eyes, Lady Mother of the Chariot could still see the unwillingness to give up. She did not say anything further since the truth was plain and clear to see. Shen Lian was not that good, at least not as good as people thought him to be.

The burning anger was still present in her heart. It was a tranquil rage but rage nonetheless.

It was because of Shen Lian's inferiority that he was still the one who was selected by the honored master. Even though honored master broke Shen Lian's external existence as well as his self-respect, Shen Lian was still the only one that had been tested by honored master in the span of countless past years. This rare honor was once again, never possessed by anyone else.

She felt that no one else could respect honored master as much as she could. No one else could attach that much of importance to the orthodoxy of the Jie Order as compared to her. Why then was honored master unwilling to choose her?

Perhaps this was another reason why she was determined on setting herself against Shen Lian. She was envious, very envious.

Jing Shu was no longer on the stairs. She was not as strong-willed as Shen Lian so she pulled out when she could no longer bear the pressure and watched Shen Lian in that position of an impasse. That bit of consciousness from the Primordial Spirit that floated in the wreaking of the Four Elements was akin to a small boat that could be buried in the midst of a vast sea at any given time.

Jing Shu understood that she was of no help. She was already unable to go near that area.

However, she knew that she could not simply just descend. After all, it could be said that she and Shen Lian had experienced trials and tribulations before at the Yellow River of nine provinces Formation. She thought about that roll of Amitâbha scripture and also recalled the fact that the enigmatic old Daoist allowed her to search for Rāma.

If the old Daoist allowed her to do so, it meant that Rāma and Vishnu had a connection. Vishnu was the most powerful figure in the universe. If he could set himself against Buddha, even if he loses in the end, it would still be a kind of honor and glory. It could be interpreted that he was an extremely formidable deity indeed.

Jing Shu thought that perhaps this Rāma person had a way to request Vishnu's assistance in saving Shen Lian. Her light travel was fast, which meant that she did not need a lot of time to reach the sea of blood. If Shen Lian could hang on, this may be a solution.

If Rāma was unwilling to help, she could return and seek founding master but it was likely that Shen Lian may not be able to hang on for such a length of time.

Regardless of the outcome, she had to at least try. Sooner or later, she would have to go to the sea of blood.

With that, Jing Shu unhesitatingly incarnated her light travel and headed to the sea of blood. Within a mere fifteen minutes, she reached. The moment she took out the Amitâbha scripture, a Bodhi Buddhist ray immediately drew her into an independent small world. It was a small mountain with a pagoda on top of it. The Bodhi Buddhist ray was on top of the pagoda.

A monk was in front of her. He did not need to speak in order for her to know that it was Rāma.

”A Daoist requested me to present this Amitâbha scripture to you. He said that he wishes to meet Vishnu.” Jingshu immediately said.

Rāma accepted the Amitâbha scripture and placed his palms together, ”Many thanks, female benefactor. Poor monk understands.”

Jing Shu spoke again, ”Considering the fact that I was troubled to deliver the scripture, I wish to request for your help in saving someone.”

Rāma looked at Jing Shu and sighed, ”I cannot save him.”

Jing Shu asked, ”Would it be possible for you to request the help of Vishnu in saving him?”

Rāma replied, ”Vishnu cannot save him as well.”

Finally, Rāma continued, ”That is his trial and also his fate. A bystander can do nothing. Everything depends on him alone.”
