Chapter 670 Spare Me Some Mana (1/2)

Shen Lian's present situation was actually quite similar to the time where he visualized the Mastery of Senses. Both happened in a lonesome and empty darkness with Shangqing Daoist Master appearing alone. There was one difference, however. This was the first time under those circumstances that a 'me' appeared.

After going through a despair which had no way out despite the great effort, Shen Lian was not dispirited. Rather, he quickly scrutinized himself with the words of Shangqing Daoist Master.

Even though he suffered a crushing defeat in his grudge against Daoist Master, so much so that he experienced the dullest of despair in his life, there were some things which anyone in the world would regard as extremely precious. That would be his genuine experience of death. With that experience, he gained many precious things. As long as he continued to live, it would be a treasure of Buddha's law that would be endlessly reaped throughout his life.

The virtual shadow of Daoist Master was still as unconjecturable as ever. Shen Lian also experienced the fact that he still had no way of using any means to restrain Daoist Master, even if it were just a shadow. Regardless, there was already no need for him to be concerned with Daoist Master since he already did that which he knew he could not do and displayed his bravery. What he needed now was not a legend that future generations would remember fondly, but rather, he needed to get a grip on reality and get out of this darkness.

Shen Lian 'got up' and walked around in the darkness of the void. The path ahead had no end in sight. He did not know how long he would have to walk alone in the dark but he continued walking. He walked from the past to the present, and then from the present to the future. Darkness was not an eternal home. The interweaving of light and darkness was the true everlasting theme.

During the process of walking, Shen Lian gradually became a lamp. The totality of his knowledge was arranged neatly throughout his walk. Each level of light signified a piece of knowledge he had towards heaven and earth and all living things.

The chrysalis that originally lay twitching on the leaf of the tree slowly emanated rays of light. The entire cocoon began to break, exposing its inner brightness.

A butterfly emerged from the chrysalis, as if in a spring dream. The insect blended in the world without so much as a trace left behind.

Shangqing Daoist Master was still the core of this newly evolved world. The countless laws were finally created to perfection, and in the end, they headed upwards to Shangqing Daoist Master's virtual shadow and gathered there. The butterfly that Shen Lian transformed into was fixed in the middle of the void, allowing the laws to storm the world and violently engulf everything. He stayed majestically motionless.

He was both a butterfly and a dream of nothingness.

Lady Mother of the Chariot and Jing Shu stared at every movement that Shangqing Daoist Master made. The incessant storm of laws was similar to countless sounds of thunder that added onto the body of Shangqing Daoist Master's virtual shadow. The destructive force that caused them to tremble was added in the void where Shangqing Daoist Master was.

It was precisely this moment that the newly formed world welcomed destruction.

This was the true force of world-destroying power. Even though the world was born in this small empty space, it was a world nonetheless and was by no means imaginary.

The incessant storm of laws brought about a destructive force similar to the layers upon layers of fire trial. The storm wanted to cause Shangqing Daoist Master to return to nothingness.

In the unceasing annihilation, this mighty deity gradually solidified. The horrifying situation akin to purgatory gradually set off the greatness and imposingness of Daoist Master.

Layer upon layer of Xuan philosophy interweaved around the body of Daoist Master. Jing Shu looked on with an expression of stupefaction. She could guarantee that after going through this, her 'Northern Underworld' would welcome an astonishing change. There could even be hope for her in this life to be on equal footing with her boss, 'Roc Demon King', and acquire the superior distinction of the Seven Great Demon Kings.

The 'Roc Demon King' himself had no opportunity to personally witness the techniques of a Daoist Master.

Founding Master Kunpeng was already skillful enough, so much so that he was the peer of several Daoist Masters, though he was not one himself.
