Chapter 689 - I Will Defeat You (2/2)

Shen Lian lightly replied, ”If you are the Daoist Master Yuqing, I have no chance to resist. However, you are not.”

Shen Lian's body flowed out clear qi. It was the purest Daoist thought and it was his fundamental.

The Primeval Demon rose and with just a step, he stood in front of Shen Lian. Although he was only a wisp of demon thought, he had the essence of the Daoist Master. Hence, he had the inextinguishable characteristics. That was also the reason Shen Lian did not refine him.

As Shen Lian did not refine him, he had to defeat him.

This was hard. It was almost impossible.

The Primeval Demon had entangled with Shen Lian. This was the confrontation of the natural instincts. There was nothing to rely on, only oneself.

Shen Lian needed to overcome this demon thought with his heart of Dao. If he failed, Shen Lian would not exist. He was firm in this actions but he did not show it. Right until the confrontation, he was still very calm.

He had made it to a state of no fear and no worries.

In his heart, this matter was no different from eating and drinking.

The demonic Qi surrounded Shen Lian's instinct. The clear qi seemed fragile among the demonic Qi.

Countless evil and strange monsters emerged and fed on Shen Lian's instinct.

Shen Lian sat down, like the Buddha who sat below the Bodhi tree and allowed ten thousands of demons to harass him. If he had a sense of fear, it would be magnified. If he had a sense of anger, he would not be able to control himself.

The only thing he could do was to stay calm and accept the torture.

This was a dreaded test. It was testing the patience of the Primeval Demon and him.

If Shen Lian lost, it meant that his cultivation was not on par. Although he had the divine thought outside the Biyou Palace, it would disappear if he lost.

Shen Lian could feel the confrontation from the temple. However, he isolated that feeling. Hence, the result was not determinable from the body form. He had to do what he had to do.

Ah Lian took out the lotus lamp. The lamplight seemed to be able to penetrate through the darkness.

Shen Lian studied the lamp. It had received too many incenses that it could absorb. Therefore, remaining incense was accumulated to become lamp oil. The lamp oil was as clear as the water and it was not oily. It even had a hint of light fragrance. If the mortal smelled this, their wisdom would increase; if they studied, they could grasp the meaning easily; if they started a business, they could make a sound decision.

On top of that, the greatest advantage was during cultivation. If they had this, it would be easier to learn any Dao techniques or supernatural powers.

He said gently, ”With this lamp, it would be able to subdue the monster. However, it needed a trigger to facilitate the full force.”

Ah Lian asked, ”What is the trigger?”

Shen Lian replied, ”Noble Qi.”

Noble Qi was the righteousness. Shen Lian had come across many people but there were only two persons with this trait. One was Lu Shouyi but he had passed away. The other one was Song Qingyi.

Noble Qi could not be obtained through cultivation. It was related to one's natural instinct.

A righteous person may not be very capable but they are noble. It would be reassuring to make friends with such a person.

Song Qingyi was one of Shen Lian's few friends.
