Chi Zisong seemed to have understood Shen Lian’s intention. He smiled and said, “Although the realm of dreamland belongs to the primeval he is unable to harm you by utilizing the realm of dreamland .”
Shen Lian said, “If the Daoist wants to harm me, he did not need to use other things. I have nothing to worry about.”
He had accepted the situation for everything was clearly explained. If the Daoist really came for him, death would be the only result even if there were a hundred Shen Lian present. However, it seemed that this might not necessarily be the absolute result.
Chi Zisong mentioned, “Zhenren Shen, you are indeed a remarkable talent. I have nothing to provide you as guidance. Nonetheless, since we have met, I believe we share some fate. Hence, I have mentioned some things which may seem discourteous.”
Suddenly, Shen Lian stood up and said, “Thank you for your hospitality. If we are to see each other in the future, I would gladly listen to your teachings. Nevertheless, I have some things to do today and have to take my leave.”
He used an unknown supernatural power and vanished from the Stone Palace. Subsequently, a moo sounded from the outside and both Shen Lian and the cow left this paradise.
The female disciple of Chi Songzi mentioned unhappily, “These people appeared to be cordial and gentle. I never thought that they would be so disrespectful.”
Chi Zisong was not angry at all. Clearly, the shifting method that Shen Lian used to leave the paradise had the meaning of Taixu where visible substances could be transformed into shapeless things. The enlightenment this person had towards the Great Dao was indeed astounding.
…
The water buffalo traversed through the ocean of clouds as he complained, “Master, I have not eaten enough. Why did you leave so quickly?” When he went into Chi Zisong’s medicine garden, he was astonished. Countless precious spiritual medicine that was complimentarily laid before his eyes. He was unable to shift his gaze from these medicines.
If Shen Lian did not bring him away forcefully, he would not leave that place.
Shen Lian did not answer the buffalo. He did not meet Chi Zisong coincidentally. Instead, it was specially arranged by Chi Zisong for he wanted to create an amicable relationship between the both of them. Nevertheless, Shen Lian was aware of his intention and left before he could voice out his intention.
Chi Zisong’s intention in creating an amicable relationship with Shen Lian was indeed beneficial. This was alike to the time where he gained enlightenment over the meaning of Taixu from Founding Master Qingshui.
However, Shen Lian understood that there were no free benefits to gain in this world. As he had experienced several miserable instances before, he was someone who would not accept benefits from others easily.
In addition, Chi Zisong was a rather mysterious figure. According to legends, he only appeared and participated in great issues. It can be seen that he was someone with foresight. It was better for Shen Lian to keep a distance from such people.
Moreover, Chi Zisong pointed out the fact that the realm of dreamland was once the Daoist body of the Primeval Lord of Heaven. This was definitely intentional. Most importantly, he was really faced with an urgent matter. This was because the Temple of the Qing Xuan’s Heavenly Lord of Salvation from Misery had an uninvited guest waiting for him.
Ah Lian was suppressed and could not retaliate that person. Even Heavenly Lord of Salvation from Misery was unable to use any techniques against him.
Heavenly Lord of Salvation from Misery’s spirit tablet once belonged to Daoist Master Taiyi. He was instructable insomuch that even those of the Daluo level might not be able to defeat him. However, since this person was able to cause Heavenly Lord of Salvation from Misery to feel so helpless, he must be truly terrifying.
Shen Lian did not think about fleeing. Instead, he wanted to face this petrifying existence directly.
This was because there was no use in escaping when such a great figure wanted to meet you.
Instead of fleeing ignominiously, it was better to face him directly.
He returned to the temple. Ah Lian was frozen aside in the temple and there was someone else besides her. There were stone tables and stools as well. He had a headscarf on his head and he was clad in a pale yellow celestial garment. Shen Lian’s appearances were considered to be supremely charming. However, it seemed that he was slightly less attractive than this man.
He sat on the stone stool and poured wine into a glass cup. Nonetheless, Shen Lian felt that he was not pouring the wine. Instead, it seemed like he was pouring an expansive ocean, or rather, flowing streams of Milky Way.
Although this person was just before his own eyes, Shen Lian felt that he was not present. Both of them seemed to exist at two different times.
He might be in the past or the future. However, he was definitely not in front of Shen Lian at this moment.
When Shen Lian brought in the water buffalo, he was already united with the Heavenly Lord of Salvation from Misery. Nevertheless, the divine power, mana as well as the mighty Primordial Spirit were unable to provide him with a sense of security.
Nonetheless, Shen Lian went up to sit in front of him and watched him pour the wine.
Shen Lian asked, “You are Perfected Lord of Qingyuan Miaodao?”
“You are right,” he stopped pouring the wine. The liquid inside the wine glass did not appear like wine. Instead, it looked more like the universe where countless stars gleamed enigmatically.
Shen Lian smiled bitterly and said, “Throughout my whole life, this is the second time where I felt so miserable.”
Perfected Lord of Qingyuan Miaodao said, “You should be honored, After all, you are the first person I met since my return from my trial.”
Shen Lian replied, “I really could not feel the sense of pride,” Shen Lian did not know how powerful Perfected Lord of Qingyuan Miaodao was. This was the very reason why he appeared terrifying to Shen Lian.
In the past, Shen Lian faced countless mighty enemies. He had also experienced a handful of life-threatening dangers. However, apart from the incident involving Daoist Master Shangqing, there were no other instances that could be comparable to his current situation. Moreover, Perfected Lord of Qingyuan Miaodao had a clairvoyance sight that could perceive everything. That was an inherent mortal enemy for people like Shen Lian who specialized in Dream Heart Sutra and the Free Form Incarnation.
Even if Shen Lian transformed into the void in front of Perfected Lord of Qingyuan Miaodao, he was unable to escape the clairvoyance sight of this first warlord of the Three Realms.
After Shen Lian had met him, he reminded him of someone – Da Yi. Both of them share a unique quality which was undefeatable.
Of course, if Da Yi were to come back to life and battle against Perfected Lord of Qingyuan Miaodao, Shen Lian hoped that Da Yi would succeed. However, deep down in his heart, his instincts told him that the result would be the demise of both figures.
Such unexplained spiritual premonition was actually extremely realistic.
This was because his premonition of despair had finally arrived.
Perfected Lord of Qingyuan Miaodao smiled and said, “Let me invite you to have a drink. You have to know that there are not many people in the Three Realms who could drink with me.”
Shen Lian said, “After this drink, what will you do?”
Perfected Lord of Qingyuan Miaodao replied, “I will take the Shangqing Primordial Spirit’s imprint from you and disperse you within the heaven and earth.”
Shen Lian sighed and said, “I intended to say that you might not gain what you want. However, I could not find any possibilities of failures.”
Perfected Lord of Qingyuan Miaodao said casually, “I am also unable to find a prospective reason for my failure. This is because no matter who comes to save you from this, I would be able to obtain the Shangqing Primordial Spirit’s imprint from you and disperse your soul and spirit prior to their arrival.”
He mentioned it with absolute confidence. Indeed, he had the ability to do so.
Apart from that unknown Daoist, there was no one in the world today who could save Shen Lian from Perfected Lord of Qingyuan Miaodao.
Shen Lian smiled and said, “Since I am a dead man, why not let me drink as I please?”
Perfected Lord of Qingyuan Miaodao replied, “That was what I planned to do.”
Shen Lian looked around calmly. He held the wine glass and started to drink. He had tasted many other good wines but they were not as special as the one he drank today. The glass of wine melted in his mouth and it seemed that he could feel his life experiences flashing by. Subsequently, his past memories vanished instantly.
Perfected Lord of Qingyuan Miaodao said, “The original ingredient of this wine is called the Five Flavored Tea of Forgetfulness. Forget everything so that you can die without regret and pain.”
Shen Lian forgot his words right after he finished listening. He was definitely going to die. Nonetheless, he was not going to die in the hands of Perfected Lord of Qingyuan Miaodao.
Unknowingly, an army camp appeared in Bi You Palace. There was a strawman in the middle of it. It was closely similar to Shen Lian. There was a slip of paper adhered onto that strawman where Shen Lian’s name was stated on it.
