Chapter 603: Back to The God Temple Again

The rules of the Netherworld were obviously different from the Qing Xuan star and the Earth. The Netherworld, in the view of the sky, was like the dome, covering the vast fields. In the other hand, Qing Xuan star and the Earth were a spiritual body in the void universe.

The stars from the sky were not stellar but were spirits. Of them, the Sun and the Moon were the most mysterious and unfathomable. Even Shen Lian who had reached the Tianyi state could not understand the moon and the sun unless he crossed the infinite space to have a look in person.

Nevertheless, Shen Lian tried using his divine thoughts. When his thoughts reached a certain level, he noticed a supernatural power that was comparable to the galactic-cutting and space-obstructing power by Heng’e. Unless he was able to break that, he would never be able to get to the stars in the sky.

With essence scattered by the Moon and the Sun in the Netherworld, the accumulation of energy was definitely greater than him. Unless his body was formed from the wise celestials or Buddha, otherwise, it would be tough challenging it.

According to a variety of clues, the Sun and the Moon may be an incarnation of a higher being. The Sun itself was the golden crow who escaped from Da Yi’s shooting.

However, as for the origins of the moon, Shen Lian was not sure about it. He felt that the imperial consort that was married to Emperor Xia was related to the moon and in fact, they might be of the same body.

The reason behind their cooperation was beyond Shen Lian’s knowledge.

These complicated issues would not be solved just by thinking. Besides that, he had plenty of uncompleted tasks. Hence, it was time to move on.

As Liu Shibei transferred his information, he returned to Shen Lian.

Shen Lian ordered, “I would like to travel. Since you had been to many places, you could accompany me. At the same time, you could recruit some talents.”

Liu Shibei was excited. Being able to spend more time with Shen Lian was a blessing as he was well known for his extensive supernatural powers and in addition, he was the leader of the three Saints.

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

Shen Lian waved his hand and the royal costume changed into a green- colored Dao suit. There was a red cinnabar in between his eyebrows, which added to his Daoist demeanor.

Shen Lian smiled and said, “I’m sorry but you had to change your form to a Daoist child and follow me.”

Liu Shibei nodded. The art of illusion was his inborn supernatural power. Swiftly, he shrank his body to the size of a child and changed into a robust Daoist child. Moving a step forward, he giggled, “May my master grant me a new name?”

Shen Lian answered, “Since it is September, let’s name you after this.”

Liu Shibei bowed with his hands in front, “September greets my master.”

Shen Lian smiled. Without any movements, the supernatural power acted.

Immediately, both of them disappeared. As they reappeared, they were moving towards the direction of Dongyi. Nonetheless, Shen Lian was not in a hurry. Unless he reached the end of the mountain or the river, he would pass slowly. He wanted to understand the situation in Da Zhou.

Xirong was not peaceful but Li Yuanliang and the other three were used to killing. Hence, they killed a lot of the demons and bandits. From then on, Da Zhou became peaceful and the citizen had a better sense of belonging.

However, Da Zhou was still far from peace and prosperity. It was not even similar to the scenario mentioned in the book, the great harmony. Fortunately, Shen Lian was not pursuing these states. Not everything could be accomplished in one stroke. Gradual progression would be easier to cope in the future.

With supernatural powers, the person would be faster than a mortal. Within a month, when the autumn wind was still blowing, Shen Lian arrived at Mount Mei. Nine years had passed yet everything remained the same. However, Wuzhong Tribe seemed livelier. When Shen Lian stepped into the border, innumerable incense surged, causing air current. Suddenly, the wind rose and flowed into his body. The sky which had no daylight seemed to be gloomier.

Shen Lian’s body was like an invisible black hole and he did not feel a thing. Instantly, he absorbed the incense without any disturbance. As he had practiced and cultivated to Taiyi, he could act as he wished. This was because the cultivation was not confined to a grid. If he desired, he could be the God or the celestial. To become the Demon or the Buddha was just a thought away.

All roads lead to Rome. Hence, Taiyi was also known as The One. Cultivation that reached this stage was like a person who passed the examination; they were free to explore.

The strange occurrence alerted Ah Lian who was practicing and cultivating in the precious lamp. She used her thought to figure what was happening. As soon as she saw Shen Lian, she turned to a human form and greeted him.

After greeting, Shen Lian asked, “Where is your daughter?”

Ah Lian answered, “Seven years ago, she quarreled with me and left the temple. At that time, something went wrong with my Martial arts training so I was unable to catch up with her. Later on, a businessman came, bringing her message. I was told that she was in Yinshang. My current situation did not allow me to get her back as I cannot leave the god temple.”

Shen Lian calculated and knew that Ah Lian did not lie. He said sassily, “I came to fulfill my promise. Don’t worry.”

Ah Lian was excited. She understood that the Qing Xuan Celestial was here to rebuild her body. Hence, she was able to leave this temple and find her daughter.

Before she could kneel down, Shen Lian pointed the space and a spinning black and white Qi appeared. Shen Lian directed her, “Quickly enter!”

Yin Qi and Yang Qi were the original creation of all things. The heaven and earth between Shen Lian’s eyebrows were not completely cultivated. Hence, the moment he took out the Yin Qi and Yang Qi, he was deferring his own practice and cultivation. Nonetheless, he was a person who returned good for good. Ah Lian sacrificed her flesh and body to become the precious lamp and guided him back. He owed her a debt of gratitude so he did not mind even if it required him to reduce a hundred years’ worth of cultivation.

If it was a common human flesh, it would not trouble him. However, Ah Lian had absorbed a lot of incense and became a deity. So, the method of reincarnation could not be used. The mortal flesh would not be able to withstand the deity and would wither away.

Fortunately, while Shen Lian was practicing in Zimu River, he got a better understanding of flesh and blood of a being. He was able to integrate the God and the flesh and body.

Shen Lian’s loud call dispelled the residues in Ah Lian’s heart. The spirit became pure and entered the black and white Qi.

Based on Yin Qi and Yang Qi, Shen Lian blended Ah Lian’s spirit into the black and white Qi. After some time, Shen Lian produced a wonderful female body surrounded by enshrouding mist.

Finally, a beautiful person walked into the sight and the enshrouding mist turned into a colorful dress. Her features were beautiful with light makeup and she was wearing a motley dress. Like the clear dewdrops, she was lovely.

Shen Lian had seen many beautiful beings and her look was created by him. Therefore, he had not swayed away.

Ah Lian finally felt the sense of security with the flesh and body. Using her thoughts, she condensed the water droplets and created a water ball from the void. As she looked at the mirror-like water ball, she was delighted by her looks.

The body created by Shen Lian was not ordinary. There were no black spots nor pores. The skin was flawless and glowing. Although there were not many changes on the features, she looked ten times prettier.

The lotus lamp flew to her hands from the tabernacle. Shen Lian told her, “This was useless for me so you could keep it. As the strength of incense was strong, you could lit it up and ordinary magic would not take effect on you.”

Ah Lian bowed and greeted, “Thank you, Celestial Teacher.”

Shen Lian nodded and summoned, “September, do come in.”

September was curious. The Yin Qi and Yang Qi were the origins of all things. It was comparable to immortal spiritual medicine. If Shen Lian did not order him to stay outside, he would have gone in a long time ago.

As he entered, he saw a beautiful lady in her twenties. His heart pondered as her eyes and lips seemed smiling.

The beautiful lady giggled, “Celestial Teacher, who is this?”

Shen Lian replied, “This was the new boy I recruited. It seemed that the body that I created was acceptable. He who had cultivated was also mesmerized by your beauty.”

Awkwardly, September greeted her, “Hello goddess sister.”

He was a demon with cultivation. Hence, he immediately spotted the difference in Ah Lian.

Ah Lian felt his change in behavior too. She realized that people who stood by Shen Lian were not mediocre. She greeted him back and reduced her glow. Although she was still beautiful, she was not glamorous. It was a standard, acceptable by the ordinary people.

Shen Lian questioned, “Are you going Yinshang to look for your daughter?”

Ah Lian nodded. Hesitantly, she answered, “The intensity of the incense was high recently. I was afraid that my departure would cause the collection of incense to reduce.”

Shen Lian consoled, “Do not worry, I will leave a part of divine thought here. This is sufficient to organize the temple. Since I have never been to Yinshang, I will follow you.”

Ah Lian was surprised, “How do you go to Yinshang? What if someone noticed?”

As she held the position of the priest, she was aware of things that happened within the perimeter. Hence, she knew some of the Celestial Teacher doings. Fortunately, Youshen kingdom was powerful and controlled Dongyi. Besides that, Si Jing the monarch came to the temple in person three times. Otherwise, she would have lost her position.

Over the years, she has grown and gained some experiences. She was not just a village woman. Hence, she knew that with Shen Lian’s current status, going to the Xia Kingdom and Yinshang would attract trouble.

A Primordial Spirit clear Qi appeared from Shen Lian’s head and went to the Godly statue. The clay Godly statue had some spirituality after being worshipped by people. As it obtained Shen Lai’s Primordial Spirit clear Qi, it seemed to be able to walk out from the tabernacle.

Ah Lian and September let out a cry as the Godly statue moved his finger and a door appeared from the void. Through the door, they saw everything inside was similar to the temple.

Shen Lian smiled, “The incense enabled me to set up a divine region. After you returned, you could stay there but you had to remember the method of opening.”

Immediately, Ah Lian thought of a verse of incantation. That was the method of opening the divine region.

Although she had a good memory, she found it hard to remember. This was because the verse was obscure and had the rhythm of heaven and earth.

After some rest, Ah Lian followed Shen Lian and September to Yinshang.

The occurrence before was covered by Shen Lian’s Sky Demon Method. Many of the believers were not aware and they did not know that the gods that they prayed to just left.
