Chapter 693 - Heart of Destruction (2/2)

Many a time, you would not know the ways to achieve perfection. However, some people were able to display perfection such that you need not toil to imagine the beauty of it since you can view their works directly.

The ink dried when Shen Lian stopped writing. As such, Yi Zhi could see what Shen Lian had written.

It was a passage.

Although he was a self-controlled person, he started to read this passage irresistibly when he saw it:

If I was born as trees, I would flourish to prosperity; If I was born as grass, I would thrive to blossom in green. There was no need to admire towering trees despite being a small grass for I could still grow into a lush of greens.

This was not a long passage but it encompassed an irresistible energy that touched Yi Zhi.

When he finished, he said admirably, ”The essence of Daoism was actually delineated by you in a vernacular passage. This is unbelievable.”

Shen Lian smiled and said, ”These are not my thoughts. It originated from a book I once read before.”

Yi Zhi asked, ”What book?”

Shen Lian smiled but did not reply to him. He took the piece of writing and hung it to the right side of the throne in the main hall. This passage came from a novel. In fact, he preferred the title of the novel- 'Heart of Destruction'.

This was because the name 'Heart of Destruction' was a portrayal of his current state.

After all, he had cultivated Daoist Master Shangqing's supreme art of Spiritual Enhancement and was about to face destruction from God's punishment.

That passage was a brief introduction of 'Heart of Destruction'. It was also a reflection of his current state of mind.

Both of them remained silent for a while before Shen Lian broke the silence and said, ”Can they pass the formation created by The Flying Celestial Formation Chart with ease and familiarity?”

Yi Zhi replied, ”Yes they can. Moreover, that little celestial master Su Xiuqing is very talented. She created a kind of spirit-amassing rune whereby cultivators' can channel their mana into it. Amidst battles, this spirit-amassing rune can help to replenish mana when all mana has been used. This provided much help to cultivators who had not reach the state of Huandan.”

Shen Lian nodded and said, ”This young lady is truly talented. Moreover, Dao of Talisman has a greater suitability than the cultivation of Qi. I believe the research of Dao of Talisman will become the mainstream of Zhou nation in no time.”

Yi Zhi hesitated and said, ”However, if this happens, cultivators would prioritize external goods. This reduces the training of their conscious. In the future, not many could attain immortality.”

Shen Lian said, ”Every art is different. Dao of Talisman is also a path of Dao. If those who attained immortality did not understand the path of Dao, they are merely ordinary beings who led a long life.”

Yi Zhi let out a sigh in his heart. Only figures like Shen Lian can make such statements.

In addition, the Dao of Talisman could benefit many people and reduce the number of Qi cultivators. As such, it could reduce the depleting pace of spiritual vigor which was commonly used by men. Thus, this was very beneficial for the whole of Netherworld.
