Chapter 670 Spare Me Some Mana (2/2)
At the present moment, Lady Mother of the Chariot's heart of Dao had a myriad of billows as she had never seen honored master displaying such supreme techniques. Each Xuan principle that revolved around Shangqing Daoist Master was that much abstruse, so much so that if ordinary people understood it, they would immediately turn into a deity.
Only Shen Lian and Shen Lian alone had yet to concentrate his mental state on the Xuan philosophy. Instead, he turned a blind eye to them. What Shangqing Daoist Master was currently unfolding was not any profound theory of heaven and earth. Going over that unusual event, it revealed his innate character which was even if the world and the universe perishes, it would not cause any disturbance to him; he had already created a world, and thus the 'true me' was eternal.
This also served as a reminder to Shen Lian. Regardless of the Underworld or the world, a galaxy of the universe or even the heavens, all of them would someday perish. All that remained of their demise would be a 'me' that transcended everything. Whoever that could retain that 'me' would be the Daoist Master. A Daoist Master was everything and all things. Everything could perish, and all things could revert to nothingness but a Daoist Master would not face either of those.
Thus, the resemblance of Daoist Master to Shen Lian or to anyone else was not at all surprising. Shen Lian formerly believed that Daoist Master had to go through him to arrive in the world. In fact, that was an absurd understanding.
After a while, the law of destructive power began to quieten. There was also no trace of Shangqing Daoist Master. Outside Bi You Palace, the stairs were as before. It was as if nothing happened at all. The Four Elements that were wreaking havoc, the evolved square inch of heaven and earth, and the extremely terrifying law of destruction, none of them left even the slightest trace.
A butterfly flew into Bi You Palace and landed on Kui Li's shoulder.
At first, she felt a warm flow extending throughout her demon body. After that, she finally could move.
Lady Mother of the Chariot noticed this and stared at the butterfly in bewilderment. The motion of its wings appeared to bear the unceasing brewing of a storm.
Kui Li could finally sweep away her hazy thoughts. She smiled.
Lady Mother of the Chariot coldly spoke, ”Never would I have thought that a miracle could still happen.”
The butterfly fell from Kui Li's shoulder and rapidly transformed into Shen Lian. He plainly replied, ”There was no miracle. All that happened was a lesson given by Shangqing Daoist Master. Considering his reputation, I can now allow you to leave Bi You Palace and find another place to live in seclusion.”
Lady Mother of the Chariot said, ”Why, the person who should be leaving is you.”
Shen Lian explained, ”You have been in Bi You palace for hundreds and thousands of years. Not once did Shangqing Daoist Master ever appear to you. As for I, you could see that my arrival brought about that performance just a while ago. Do you not understand? Do not know who the new owner of Bi You Palace is?”
Lady Mother of the Chariot did not imagine that Shen Lian would be so powerful. She gradually burned with rage.
What she did not know was that Shangqing Daoist Master gave him a lesson on 'despair'. After going through the deepest of despair, Shen Lian was much more optimistic. Why should he restrain himself when he had already experienced the most terrifying things? Whatever he did or did not do was now coming directly from the depths of his heart. Since Shangqing Daoist Master gave him this birth, there was no need for him to be overly suspicious. He calmly accepted everything as it was. After all, every terror and precaution seemed laughable after having faced the means of Daoist Master.
Lady Mother of the Chariot could not inherently know the thoughts of Shen Lian. In her extreme fury, she laughed at him, ”Your celestial body no longer exists and you have no mana. What are you going to battle me with?”
Shen Lian nodded, ”You are correct. If before this I had to face the current predicament, indeed I could not take you for naught. But now a leaf is covering your eyes and blocking your view of Mount Tai. You do not see reality. Do you really think that what Shangqing Daoist Master performed just a moment ago was just mere Xuan philosophy? Are you completely ignorant of what it takes to walk the path of Dao to supreme detachment?”
He smiled and looked at Kui Li and also Jing Shu who just walked into Bi You Palace, ”Dear fairies, could you spare me some mana?”
