Daoist Master Of Qing Xuan Chapter 563 - God and Goddess

Chapter 563 - God and Goddess

There were stars surrounding Shen Lian when he traveled with his Primordial Spirit. But the Daoist nun was a step ahead of him. She had the universe and the coexistence of darkness and light around her.
Although Wen Zhong was of the level of a walking celestial of the earth with a combat power of a heavenly immortal, he looked like an ordinary being in front of the Daoist nun. It was the differences in the nature of their life.
The Daoist nun fixed her gaze on the Star Mirror that she used to stalk Shen Lian. As the stars faded without a trace, the image of Biyou Palace surfaced.
The Biyou Palace was made using special materials, especially the surface that was made by an unknown construction material. One could observe its detail with the divine thoughts but they would never be able to see the gaps in it.
The Daoist nun was the Lady Mother of the Chariot. She was undisputedly the highest supreme figure of the Netherworld. It was said that she was a cultivator who attained celestialism during the era of the Emperor.
"You know it too. The Biyou Palace has never accepted non-disciples. Regardless of who he is, we should never break this rule. But if he is willing to submit to our teachings, we can still hand over the Biyou Palace to him. After all, he possessed the breath of my master and he coincides with my master's message." The Lady Mother of the Chariot had a youthful voice that sounded like a teenage girl. It was hard to associate her with an ancient existence.
Wen Zhong responded, "Judging from his character, he would never submit to our teachings. But if it was destiny, what should we do, honored master?"
The Lady Mother of the Chariot sneered, "This is just the destiny of this world. You are not aware of certain things but 'destiny' is just a joke."
As the Lady Mother of the Chariot uttered those words, a huge notebook appeared on top of her head. It was the legendary Register of Life and Death. The book released black Qi and drilled into her body. The lights of the universe that surrounded her had diminished, leaving only darkness behind.
Although Wen Zhong was right in front of her, he could not see what was happening to her.
Fortunately, this was not the first time something like this happened in the past thousands of years. He was not taken aback and knew that his honored master was battling against the Register of Life and Death, which was also the force of karma of the Netherworld.
Truthfully, even if a person had cultivated to the state of heavenly immortal were still bound by the Register of Life and Death. But the honored master and the still nether spirits at the sea of blood had absorbed most of the power from the Register of Life and Death, giving cultivators of the heavenly immortal state a chance to break free from the Register of Life and Death.
Unfortunately, most people were not aware of this.
Shen Lian did not know that he was deeply related to the Biyou Palace. Even if he knew about it, the current him had no intentions to be the Man of Destiny.
The Sun Vanquishing Arrow had brought him to the myth of Da Yi and the ten suns, and he was greatly touched by it. Indirectly, he had influenced the past significantly although it was not his initiative to be in that situation.
Although traveling to the past was very useful for his cultivation, he would never want to return to that state of limbo.
Moreover, Ye Liuyun once hinted that there was a greater force out there that was toying with them in the dark. Shen Lian had never forgotten those words and understood it more profoundly after this experience.
If he was experiencing history, Yinshang would be an unstoppable force and would replace Xia Kingdom eventually. But Shen Lian knew that it was time for him to challenge this force.
This was also a test for Shen Lian.
Of course, it was unlikely for him to go completely against the trend and help Xia destroy Yinshang. But what he would do next was guaranteed to surprise everybody.
Xiliang Kingdom would play a major role in his plan. Although Shen Lian initially did not intend to drag Chen Qing into the affair but judging from the current situation, there was no way that she could stay out of it. As the paradoxical history unfolded, the battle between Yinshang and Xia Kingdom would involve the nations surrounding them.
Instead of going with the flow and passively playing along with fate, Shen Lian would rather be involved and take control.
Although Shen Lian would never be able to achieve as much as he did last time, he needed to challenge the greater existence that was in the dark. This sacrifice was necessary.
Moreover, the challenges and difficulties in life were something Shen Lian truly enjoyed. Although being emotionally detached would help him attain Dao but he did not want to be that sort of person.
By the time he returned to the temple, the people of the Wuzhong family had restored their homes. No matter how difficult things were, life goes on.
Despite the ugly aspects of human nature, the positive attitude that kept them move forward and work hard for survival was a good thing.
The positive vibes had cleansed the dark clouds in Shen Lian's mind and his Primordial Spirit too became a little higher in spirits.
The temple was filled with the power of the incense. Besides the portrait of Shen Lian, the lotus lantern had become a significant object for people to pray too. It was evident that the lotus lamp had rescued the people and left a deep impression in their hearts, and thus they decided to split the incense between the two.
If the faith expanded, maybe the lotus lamp would become a powerful treasure of the path of Shen. Due to the characteristics of the path of Shen, even a mortal would gain unimaginable combat power if they hold on to this lantern.
But it was time for Shen Lian to deliver his promise, which was to create a new body for Ah Lian.
Shen Lian said to the extinguished lotus lantern, "Please come out from the lantern."
Ah Lian heard Shen Lian and flew out from the lantern. Although she was hollow and had no physical body, she had a different kind of charisma, just like a fairy who came out of the rain.
Shen Lian smiled, "If you walk out like this, you would definitely be more popular than me."
Actually, most religious propagandas were based on female deities. Reason being, the female deities were beautiful and had inherent qualities of a woman that would easily touch anyone. It was indeed effective in spreading the faith.
If that was not true, why would the Goddess of Mercy who was born a male chose to be a female?
Compare to some among the Four Bodhisattva, like Manjushri of Great Wisdom, and Samantabhadra of Great Conduct, the Goddess of Mercy still had higher cultivation level.
In Shen Lian's past life, the number of temples dedicated to the Goddess of Mercy could match the number of temples dedicated to Buddha.
A humble Ah Lian said, "There is no way I could be more popular than you. Maybe I should make myself look uglier."
She was not in her true physical form and could change as she likes. But it was a habit of all spirits to maintain their appearance from their previous life.
It was effortlessly easy if she wanted to change.
Shen Lian said, "You don't have to do it. You look great. I will make a body based on your current appearance. With the body, things would be more convenient for you. If your daughter runs out, at least you can go and look for her."
