Chapter 562 - Biyou
The temple was his temple as Shen Lian came through the G.o.dly portrait of him. The damage to his Primordial Spirit was healed by fate and his thoughts were now clear and thorough.
Shen Lian understood that his act of preventing Da Yi from shooting down the tenth sun, saving the time-s.p.a.ce from being sunless had gained his good karma. To a certain extent, he was the savior of the tenth sun and Shen Lian felt a wonderful sentiment towards it as he returned to the Netherworld. He had a theory in his mind but he needed to verify it first.
But there was no need to spend time thinking about these things now. He released the Primordial Spirit mana with his thoughts and the agitated spiritual vigor stopped moving. His divine thoughts were focused on Xiao Hei that had blood all over its body. Xiao Hei died and its spirit flame was about to extinguish.
Shen Lian was able to fathom the karmic cycle and he was moved by it. At the same time, the G.o.dly portrait opened his mouth to blow out a dash of Qi of Yang and healed the wounds of Xiao Hei. However, this did not bring Xiao Hei back to life.
Shen Lian used this Qi of Yang to temporarily seal Xiao Hei"s spirit in its body, preventing it from diminis.h.i.+ng. The lotus lamp landed on the altar the fire within it turned into Ah Lian. She popped out from the lamp and said, "Celestial teacher, you finally appeared."
At the same time, she said emotionally, "Xiao Hei could not wait for you to come back." Ah Lian witnessed the injuries of Xiao Hei personally and was impressed that Xiao Hei actually made it to the temple under such conditions. That was also why she felt sorry when Xiao Hei took his last breath.
Shen Lian did not say much about Xiao Hei. Instead, he used his divine thoughts to say, "Thank you so much for what you did. I will create a physical body for you. There is something else I need to do now. Please first return to the lamp so that you won"t be disturbed."
Ah Lian felt a gust of wind that shoved her back to the lamp. She then felt a gush of strong overwhelming Qi dynamics that charged towards the outside of the temple. The calm Qi of vitality then systematically gathered above the temple. People of the family of Wuzhong who were outside of the temple saw the formation of a giant hand that was big enough to toy with the moon and sun. Once the hand was formed, it pa.s.sed through s.p.a.ce and traveled hundreds of miles away.
The hand was headed to the location where Feng was. After releasing the Sun Vanquis.h.i.+ng Arrow, his Qi of essence had been drained completely and he could only lie on the ground. The power of the Sun Vanquis.h.i.+ng Arrow was beyond his expectation and he regretted using it against Shen Lian.
Before he could overcome his emotions, he saw a giant hand charging towards him. The pressure was overwhelming like the sea and mountain and the hand did not give him any chance to defend himself. It just crushed him to the ground.
Poor Feng may have been one of the powerhouses of Dongyi and could match the powers of deities but he stood no chance at all against this giant hand. He did not have the time to react and was crushed into ground meat. The mountain he was at too crumbled and eventually buried him within.
The giant hand was, in fact, Shen Lian who used his Primordial Spirit to imitate Guangqing"s the Qi of Xuanqing that was fused with the killing sword will. As a result, Feng did not only turned into ground meat but his spirits too disappeared along with the wind.
Shen Lian did not even bother to question him and just destroyed him directly.
When he was done with this, Shen Lian switched his focus to Xiao Hei. His Primordial Spirit walked out from the G.o.dly portrait and he was radiating so brightly like the countless stars in the sky.
He started chanting and green spirit smoke started to ooze out from the body of Xiao Hei. The spirit smoke then gathered together to form a mini black tiger that had sluggish eyes. Even Shen Lian could not recognize it.
Shen Lian said, "I"ve told you so to cultivate and not be lazy and you refused to listen. It is upon you that you have to suffer so much now."
Shen Lian opened up his sleeves and Xiao Hei"s spirit smoke flew into his robe. He then adjusted his sleeves and step out of the temple to travel a million miles above the sky. At that time, the stars and moon dissolved in the sky, just like billions of clear waves. He roamed around the rim of the sky and was humbled by the vastness of the universe.
He got rid of his empty sentiments and transformed into a puddle of clear water and traveled to somewhere far away.
His Primordial Spirit had received the recognition of the Netherworld and he could roam freely using purely his Primordial Spirit. He could gather them up into a shape or disperse them into Qi. There were millions of possibilities available as his supernatural powers were unbelievable.
The speed of his light travel had most probably caught up with that Daoist"s Divine Aura s.h.i.+fting Method back then.
Shen Lian relentlessly calculated the best place for Xiao Hei to reincarnate and finally decided to head to the north. He crossed several mountains and waters without stopping and arrived in the northeast region of Xia. He finally stopped at the northern side territory of the barbaric tribe.
At that very moment, the sun had yet to rise and the earth was still. Out of millions of families, one house was oozing with Qi of vigor. It was a family that was expecting a baby.
Shen Lian observed the family, there was a purplish red aura around this family. From that, he could tell that they were either a wealthy or a n.o.ble family.
Shen Lian calculated with the Primordial Bagua in his mind and came to a conclusion that this family would be perfect for Xiao Hei. He slouched his sleeve and said, "Don"t be lazy anymore in this lifetime."
Black tiger"s spirit smoke flew towards that family. Soon, a gentle puddle of water appeared and music started playing. The woman in labor let out a painful groan and a baby with tan skin popped out. The right shoulder of the baby had a mark that looked like Xiao Hei, it was indeed eye-catching and a divine vision.
The family was surprised and delighted although it was not rare to have an extraordinary baby in the Netherworld. Also, these children usually grow up to have superlative powers.
Shen Lian intended to leave after reincarnating Xiao Hei but when he was about to make a move, he sensed a fluctuation of mana that felt like a deja-vu. He looked over and found a strong kid of two to three years old. The kid was holding a majestic tigress and was feeding on her.
Although he was small, his Qi of vitality was enough to dispel ghostly spirits.
Shen Lian thought to himself, "So it"s him."
He then looked towards the sky and said, "Is this a warning to me?"
Shen Lian sneered, he ignored the kid and returned to his temple.
In the vast sea, there was an island hidden within the wind and tide. The island was s.h.i.+elded by a thick fog that divine thoughts were not able to pierce through.
There was not even an inch of gra.s.s on the island nor were there any fake mountains and water streams. In the middle of the island, there was a palace that had "Biyou Palace" written on it. Inside the hall, towards the right, a Daoist nun that seemed somewhat hollow was seated on the cus.h.i.+on. A man was kneeling in front of her, it was Wen Zhong.
The stars were flowing in between the both of them as Shen Lian"s silhouette surfaced.
Wen Zhong said, "Even the Sun Vanquis.h.i.+ng Arrow failed to kill him and his black tiger coincidentally reincarnated in the Chong Hou family. This was exactly what the founding master stated in the will. Honored master, do we really have to invite him and make him the master of the Biyou Palace?"
