Chapter 678 - Guanghan (1/2)
Jing Shu never thought of squandering her mana to save the lives of ants, but after seeing what Shen Lian had done, she started to feel a different emotion, thinking how different this man was.
Kui Li felt rather indifferent. After knowing Shen Lian for a period of time, she was no stranger to seeing Shen Lian do such a thing.
The trio then departed as their spiritual shapes vanished in the clouds. They left in haste, feeling carefree.
The distance between Zhou country and Diqiu was large in the eyes of a mortal. For cultivators like them, it was only as far as their neighboring house.
In that present moment, the water of Xia Canal in Diqiu was still flowing gloriously with its spiritual vigor erupting in the canal water. However, Shen Lian could clearly feel that the spiritual vigor of Xia Canal had actually deteriorated significantly.
The fate of Xia was no longer in its prime. Diqiu had turned quiet, and its fortification had turned black. Pure black, like charcoal ink.
Black was mysterious and unpredictable. It was also hidden, evasive and complicated.
On a white paper, other colors would be so obvious; on a piece of black paper, it could only show white in contrast, deeming this color inconsumable. As soon as the trio of Shen entered Diqiu, they soon became the most striking white which was inconsumable by the black.
Jing Shu was a Kunpeng so she could transform into a giant Kun fish and swim in any water. But she never liked the Xia canal in Diqiu, because its water which was apparently running with spiritual vigor, had a 'bitter' taste.
This 'bitterness' was not the 'bitterness' on the taste buds, but more like the 'bitterness' of human lives, like hopelessness and desperation upon oneself.
She was a demon who laughed and cried as she wished, yet her heart was currently so compressed she could not cry out loud.
The structure of Diqiu was crisscrossed. Its streets were very broad but once entering the city, all its surrounding was blurring dark mist, so a normal person would not be able to see far into it.
Fortunately, none of the trio there were normal people.
Jing Shu looked at Shen Lian with her glowing eyes and said, ”This place is so weird.”
Shen Lian lifted his hand and said calmly, ”Looks like Emperor Xia has perfected his Primeval Demon Technique. I am looking forward to this.”
His other reason of coming to Diqiu was to have a close look at the Primeval Demon Technique. Why would he do this? Naturally, this was to peek at the Primeval Lord of Heaven from the sideline, who was also the Yuqing Daoist Master.
The Primeval Demon was the heart demon of the Primeval Lord of Heaven. Although this was cut off by the Primeval Lord of Heaven, the implication between two must still remain strong.
Of course, this thought appeared when he was in Biyou Palace, but he had forgotten about it upon his arrival here. All that was left was his curiosity about the Primeval Demon Technique and fulfilling his promise towards Jing Shu.
