The place whereby Shen Lian appeared was the entrance of the Xiliang City. The Qi of vitality between the heaven and earth naturally attached on the surface of his spirit, integrating and forming as the new Primordial Spiritual Body.

　　Nonetheless, as compared to the tempered Primordial Spiritual Body in the past, the mana in this type of Primordial Spiritual Body had significantly weakened and it was not as pure as before.

　　The previous Primordial Spiritual Body was like the well-tempered steel but the present Primordial Spiritual Body was like the newly-shaped iron filled with impurities.

　　However, all these were not important. What mattered most was that he could really feel the tight yet loose integration between the world and him. As long as Shen Lian was willing, he could become part of the Netherworld at any moment. At that time, aside from the Netherworld itself, there was nobody who could be above him, not even the Lady Mother of the Chariot and Rama, unless the Netherworld perished.

　　The feeling that this gave to him was that the Netherworld had officially recognized his status and was offering amnesty and enlistment to him.

　　“Offering amnesty and enlistment” was exactly the technique used by the dynasty in the mortal world to deal with the bandits. They would use high post and generous salaries to lure them to be part of the dynasty. All these were not due to any unstable factors.

　　He could then spend the Qi of heaven and earth freely without any constraints. In some sense, this would be similar to how the bandits were treated. The governor of the will of the Netherworld was definitely aware of the difficulty to eliminate Shen Lian and thus, they wanted to first use the pacifying way.

　　Shen Lian rejected without any hesitation because he believed that Rama would also get this treatment. However, they clearly did not accept it. Otherwise, it would definitely be impossible for him to break Rama’s supernatural power, the Buddhist Kingdom on the Palm.

　　A person who could cultivate to the state of Mahasattva was definitely not a fool. Although Shen Lian did not understand the specific reason, he still determinedly rejected the readily available benefit.

　　When Shen Lian’s mind was rejecting, he felt a heavy pressure. The more Qi of heaven and earth he took in, the greater the pressure on his body. If he could not endure it, he would be dragged into the karmic cycle, by then, he would also become part of the Netherworld, unless he chose to leave.

　　At the same time, under the circumstance that he was not aware, there was a page of the Register of Life and Death appearing on top of his head. He was the only one who could see it. He could clearly see that there were two bloody words on the page namely Shen Lian.

　　He appeared on the third row. There were two names in front of him. One was Rama, another one was Jinling Shengmu who was the Lady Mother of the Chariot. This had conformed to the mystery which Shen Lian knew. He also felt that this ranking was based on their abilities. Rama was obviously above the Lady Mother of the Chariot.

　　In the mystery, the Lady Mother of the Chariot was a proud disciple of Lingbao Tianzun. Lingbao Tianzun was also one of the few supremely-detached people, Shangqing in the Three Pristine Daoist Masters. He was detached from the years of ancient existence even earlier than Daoist Master Taiyi. How was it possible for Rama to be at a higher status compared to his proud disciple? Even if he was the descendant of Buddha or Ambitabha, it was almost impossible to be better than the Lady Mother of the Chariot.

　　In actual fact, Shen Lian was not aware that when the Register of Life and Death appeared on top of his head, the Lady Mother of the Chariot in Bi You Palace and Rama on top of the pagoda had both realised that the power of the Register of Life and Death which was restraining them had weakened by twenty percent.

　　This weakening power of the Register of Life and Death had flown back to the original copy of the Register of Life and Death and one part of it had flown towards Shen Lian.

　　However, Shen Lian was very clear about one point which was the Register of Life and Death was not equipped with humanity, it was same like the laws of heaven; they had no feelings. Its pressure on Shen Lian was based on the Shen Lian’s consumption of the Netherworld’s Qi of vitality or to be more precise, the sin that Shen Lian had formed with the Netherworld.

　　The more Qi of vitality that Shen Lian took in, the heavier his sin was and thus the pressure was naturally stronger.

　　Due to the fact that the previous Qi and physical body had already been defeated and dispersed, the sin which he and the Netherworld formed due to the Qi of vitality had also disappeared from then on. However, now that he was back to the Netherworld to take in the Qi of vitality and that he even rejected the amnesty and enlistment offerings, there would be considered as new sin. Thus, he felt the pressure of the Register of Life and Death.

　　Nonetheless, there was still one thing that Shen Lian did not understand. Why did he not feel such pressure in the past? Besides, obviously, people like the Emperor Xia and Tianyi also did not feel such pressure. There must be other reasons in this. Moreover, like what Liu Mengde said last time, if one could cultivate to the state of heavenly immortals, he could remove his name from the Register of Life and Death. It made no sense that the two names of Rama and the Lady Mother of the Chariot who were in the State of Taiyi were incomparable to the state of heavenly immortals.

　　Actually, Shen Lian was unsure that the names which were previously stated in the Register of Life and Death were not simply for the recording of the sentients’ names. What was even more crucial was that it could take the opportunity to control their birth, old age, sickness and death, which also meant, their destiny.

　　When one had reached the state of heavenly immortals, it was obvious that the resistant capability was very strong. Moreover, all could perform the Unity of Universe and Human which seemed to mix well with the Netherworld. In order to not waste the power of the Register of Life and Death, the Register of Life and Death gave them the freedom to remove their names. Regardless of their birth, old age, sickness and death or because the price to be paid for taking control was too costly, it was better to let go, as long as they did not leave the Netherworld.

　　Those that had left the state of heavenly immortals also had to be the same like Shen Lian previously. They had to return their physical bodies and Qi of vitality together back to the Netherworld. There was only a little spirituality that could detach, or else they would all have to face the revenge of the Register of Life and Death. There were definitely some powerful people who did not return anything and they even left the place. These evil people obviously had to have the combat power at the State of Taiyi.

　　Just like if the Lady Mother of the Chariot and Rama were to choose to leave the Netherworld, they would not have such pressure anymore. Due to the eeriness of the State of Taiyi, they received special treatment from the Register of Life and Death.

　　It was even safe to say that the page on the Register of Life and Death which consisted of Shen Lian, Rama and the Lady Mother of the Chariot was independent from the entire book. It was something like a blacklist as the three of them were extremely dangerous.

　　As Shen Lian’s thoughts were everywhere, Li Yuanliang and the rest had managed to arrive first. At this moment, the anxiety and horror of people in the city were still lingering. Since Li Yuanliang and the rest were master celestial of sword, their minds were stronger compared to everyone else in the city. Thus, they were the ones whose state of mind recovered the fastest. They were able to sense it once there was fluctuation in Qi of vitality in the city. When they arrived at this city, they really managed to find Shen Lian who temporarily established his Primordial Spirit.

　　The four of them paid obeisance to Shen Lian together. In the end, it was still Li Yuanliang’s disciple, Yuan Xuefeng who talked to Shen Lian, “Uncle-master, why do you give me the feeling that you seem to have weakened a lot?”

　　Among the four of them, he was the sharpest in terms of the training of heart and soul. Moreover, Shen Lian never had the habit of playing dumb when he had the capability. Before this, the feeling that Shen Lian gave them was like he was pretending to be ordinary but in actual fact, he was a very capable cultivator. Even if he looked like an ordinary cultivator, they could somehow observe that he was outstanding.

　　However, the current fluctuation of mana on Shen Lian was exactly as weak as he showed.

　　Shen Lian smiled faintly and said, “Xuefeng your feeling is right. In terms of the level of mana, now you are all above me.”

　　Li Yuanliang spoke without hesitation, “Fifth Junior Apprentice-Brother, Seventh Junior-Apprentice Brother and Eighth Junior-Apprentice Brother, let’s escort uncle-master back to the Asura Blood Sea.”

　　The three of them looked at Li Yuanliang with determination in their eyes.

　　The relationship of people from the same sect in Qing Xuan had always been very strong. They had all made up their minds that even if their uncle-master was to reject them, they must escort him back to the Blood Sea when he was weak. They could be free from worries only with their master’s protection.

　　Otherwise, if something happened to their uncle-master, they would not have the face to go back to the Asura Blood Sea. Besides, they would disappoint Shen Lian for his favor of guidance towards them.

　　They could not care anymore even if Xiliang City would fall into desperate situation after Shen Lian left with them. There was nothing more important than their uncle-master’s safety.

　　Shen Lian suddenly had a mischievous thought. He seemed to be smiling but also not at the same time, he said, “What if I don’t follow you to go back?”

　　Yuan Xuefeng drew his long sword out and said in a serious tone, “Then I’m sorry to offend you, uncle-master.”

　　The rest of them seemed to be thinking of the same thing, they drew their swords out at the same time.

　　They did not have the courage to hurt their uncle-master. They only wanted their uncle-master to know when to take a step back and go back to the Asura Blood Sea with them for cultivation purpose.
