Chapter 609: The Right Path

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After a round of testing the water, Golden Haired Roar knew that Shen Lian was very difficult to deal with. When Lingbao Tianzun was reincarnated into Tongtian Order Master and founded the Order of Jie, this creature was a disciple which he took in when he passed by Ermei at the Celestial Mountain. It became a psychic when it was enlightened by the golden light of the Ermei Golden Peak, hence it gained the name ‘Golden Light Deity’.

He might not have mastered Daoism and gained limitless godly prowess like his apprentice elder siblings, it still had some incredible qualities, for he had already achieved the realm of Taiyi when the Heavenly King built the Heaven Courtyard and lived a free life.

However, it was captured by Daoist Cihang in the battle of Investiture of the Gods. Its soul was chased away from the Realm of Vagueness into the Investiture, which greatly weakened his attainment. He managed to escape from the grips of Daoist Cihang several times, at which the last fight finally angered Daoist Cihang, who utilized Bodhisavatta’s help to trap its spirit in the Nine Underworlds and left him without any care.

Many years later, the Nine Underworld had undergone several major changes. Bodhisavatta might be one of the best Dao practitioners that ever lived, but her entrapment techniques were not timeless and impenetrable. Golden Light Deity managed to escape from the entrapment when it finally gave way and loosened.

Even if Shen Lian did not appear, Golden Light Deity would still be able to leave the place in thirty to fifty years and be free again.

It was at this critical point that Golden Light Deity did not expect to encounter a difficult opponent like Shen Lian, who yet to be so closely related to the Order of Jie.

That killing sword especially reminded him of his honored master’s Celestial Trapping Sword in his previous round of testing. Had Shen Lian not intended to take the innate Daoist body away, it would have given up on fighting him.

Now that they were both so connected, they could not stop now. They must fight until one party gained an upper hand of the fight and decide whether they should stop.

The tip of the fish rod-shaped killing sword vibrated at least ten thousand times in a second, filled with an unpredictable aura, carrying a deadly sword aura to attack Golden Light Deity from all directions with the intention to kill it until it becomes ash.

With its senses disrupted, however rich Golden Light Deity’s cultivation experience was, it was not able to predict Shen Lian’s next step.

Another deep roaring sound was heard. Its claws made a unique mark, and the void was instantly engulfed in webs stitched with multiple lightning. This web’s power was no worse than the lightning dragon formed by Wen Zhong that day.

A lightning hit Shen Lian’s Daoist hairstyle, which caused it to split open. A greenish black gash emerged on his fair skin, leaving his eyes wide open.

The reason Golden Light Deity’s lightning technique was able to cause a bit of damage towards him was entirely due to the profound theory of heaven and earth which Shen Lian was unable to decipher.

Golden Light Deity’s current state of shock was inexpressible. That lightning was the same lightning that punished the Golden Haired Roar when it took form, it was also enhanced with the mixture of Shang Qing Lightning technique. Its impact should be strong enough to slow Shen Lian’s senses for a while, but he never expected that it only scratched him a bit, and did no harm to his mobility.

This had nothing to do with Shen Lian’s strength. This was actually due to Golden Light Deity being weakened by years of suppression. Since the weakening was accumulated over the years, it never knew to what degree its strength had declined.

Moreover, Shen Lian’s the Art of Spiritual Enhancement, had close connections with Lingbao Tianzun, so the Shang Qing Lightning Technique did not cause much damage to Shen Lian.

The Golden Light Deity was no simple character as well. The lightning web caused Shen Lian to be trapped, causing itself to be distracted and received a blow from Shen Lian’s sword. So, it took out a large piece of fur and controlled it with its spirit, protecting it from any more harm.

Large explosions were heard; the dimension was rumbling and trembling, except the well which stood untouched. The Six-Character Great Bright Mantra never faded, and the child on that well had no clue of the danger it was in. Only when the two were infighting that the dust stirred up landed on the kid.

In the middle of the fight, Shen Lian never cared about the injury he got, as the red cinnabar between his brows were flowing and fell to the ground.

Only then did he understood the profoundness of self-inflicting heaven and earth. Most of the power of nature would feed him until he was full, then the damage on him was the largest.

Unfortunately, a powerful opponent like the Golden Light Deity was better than normal people, so it managed to dodge Shen Lian’s killing sword, which frustrated Shen Lian a bit.

It was slightly envious of Shen Lian, as not all those at Taiyi state were able to reach the state that he was in. Only cultivating on the right path would make all cultivations be perfected and make up the components of heaven and earth when they achieve Taiyi.

This would be a journey that took countless numbers of years. Many failed due to their ego and pride. Daoist Master of the Three Pure Ones, Amitabha were the fortunate ones who walked on the right path and figured the way themselves.

Even though later both of them understood the right way and tried to teach the principles, many of their proud students had gone too far and could not return unless they forego their past success, even forsaking the spirits from the realm of vagueness, and start afresh.

Golden Light Deity insisted on keeping that innate Daoist body, mainly for this reason. If it was still Golden Light Deity, it would not blame on Bodhisattva and seek revenge, since it had experienced the time when Daoist Cihang went through the transition from Daoism to Buddhism.

If it made the decision to forsake everything and found the Soup of Forgetfulness in the netherworld, wash off all its past sins, and overtake this Daoist body, it might have achieved a breakthrough, gained the path of Dao and benefited more.

Shen Lian’s current sword attack had surpassed the ingenious Dao of a Celestial, yet he could not capture any trace of the Golden Light Deity’s shadow. He could not deny that this was really the disciple of Lingbao Tianzu. Even with its shielded strength, it was able to survive this long in his hands.

It also made him understood that there was a still gap between himself and these ancient celestials.

However, he Shen Lian not only had the killing sword, which was strong but not long lasting, weak in defense. He laughed, “If you my friend only have this much to show, you are going to be embarrassed.”
