Chapter 692 - Thread of Love (1/2)

Shen Lian had never felt so cold before. But this coldness should not be described as such. It should be called numbness instead. In his heart, there were some budding emotions. However, they did not emerge.

Though the Primeval Demon did not manage to annihilate Shen Lian's consciousness, he had eradicated his emotions. He transformed his consciousness into a perfected diamond. It was strong, pure and uncontaminated by other impurities.

This seemed beneficial for it appeared like he could reach the profound state of Dao- Taishang Wangqing.

In actual fact, this was not the case. He was rid of emotions and had become absolutely rational. Therefore, he would only reach one conclusion after careful deliberation and analysis in his mind - the will of Primeval Demon could not be destroyed by his own conscious.

He was definitely in a clear state of mind and extremely rational. Hence, the prediction of this conclusion was naturally the absolute truth. The cruelest thing in the world was not embarking on a path that leads towards desolation, it was the understanding that one had already embarked on a journey towards desolation.

Of course, the claim that Shen Lian had embarked on a path of desolation was exaggerated. After all, the Primeval Demon could not do anything with Shen Lian for the latter had lost his seven affections and six desires. Thus, Shen Lian's raw form was closely similar to Primeval Demon's will of unborn and indestructibility.

In fact, Shen Lian's will was flexible and could grow continuously.

Therefore, the Primeval Demon transformed into a chilling storm. He wanted to dispatch Shen Lian's will. However, he did not succeed. From Shen Lian's point of view, if the battle remained stalemate, it meant that he had failed.

Moreover, as someone who had lost seven affections and six desires, he was left with a bare conscious. This meant that he had lost protection given that the desire to love was not merely the dust that blindfolds one's conscious, it was also a shield for protection.

”You proclaim that you are someone with emotions. Do you still think of yourself that way?” Primeval Demon's voice was like chills from the depths of Nine Underworlds that could dispatch all spirits.

Shen Lian replied, ”It would be a fresh new experience to live without emotions. Without you, I may not be able to experience it.”

The Primeval Demon said, ”You think that this is a good thing?”

”This is an unanswerable question for I no longer feel happy nor sad. I am only left with absolute rationality,” Shen Lian told him straightforwardly.

The Primeval Demon asked casually, ”Can we cooperate now?”

Shen Lian replied, ”No.”

The Primeval Demon let out a 'Yi' sound out of surprise. Based on his understanding, this lad had lost the desire to love. Thus, only the notion of pros and cons would be left in his heart. There was no reason for him to decline his offer.

Suddenly, Shen Lian 'laughed'. From the Primeval Demon's perspective, Shen Lian's 'laughter' was more terrifying than any other techniques. This was because it was impossible for Shen Lian to laugh for he had lost all emotions.

Although Shen Lian's 'laughter' did not seem genuine, it was a sincere gesture. This clearly indicated that his laughter was filled with emotions.

At this point in time, a thread appeared on the incarnation of Shen Lian's pure conscious. It was extremely abstruse.

The Primeval Demon mentioned gravely, ”The thread of love.”

The hardest entanglement to escape from in the world was not the Inescapable Net nor the pervasive existence of fate. It was the net of love. Even someone as mighty as Da Yi could not escape from it.

The reason why this net was so difficult to resolve was that the thread of love was a creation of living creatures' subtlest emotion. Given that it was untraceable, even the best cultivator might not be able to realize its presence.

Shen Lian was able to reproduce emotions owing to this thread of love.

He laid out his fingertips while the thread of love entangled them. Suddenly, a net of love appeared. The howling wind transformed by the Primeval Demon was subsequently entangled by the net.

Although the Primeval Demon had seen countless supreme techniques, he had never once seen a person utilizing the thread of romance as a supernatural power. It was never heard of nor witnessed before.

He was originally the Primeval Demon who had a free state of mind and was unrestrained like flowing streams. Nevertheless, he had been entangled by this net and could not resolve it.

That thread of love had the force to obfuscate and revert order. Even his will of unborn and indestructibility started to drift apart.

Shen Lian kept his net. Finally, his divine Qi was at peace.

In Biyou Palace, Shen Lian's Primordial Spirit appeared and turned into the Yin and Yang Taichi. It turned slowly and transformed into a human form. Ultimately, a Daoist was created from the Daoist robe of a Yin and Yang Taichi cultivator.

At the same time, the whole of Zhou nation produced an unexplained quake. This quake was alike to the budding of a young plant from the soil.
