The place where Shen Lian appeared was at the head of Xiliang City. The vitality between heaven and earth naturally attached to the surface of his "god" and combined with it to form a new soul body.
It's just that this kind of Yuan Shen Dharma Body is much weaker than his previous Yuan Shen Dharma Body that has been tempered countless times, and it's not as pure as before.
In the past, the Yuan Shen Dharma and the body were like refined steel that had been refined over time, but now the Yuan Shen Dharma and the body were like newly smelted iron, full of impurities.
But these are not important. The most important thing is that he really feels that the outer world and himself are closely and distantly combined. As long as he is willing, Shen Lian can become a part of Netherworld at any time. At that time, no one can be in Netherworld except Netherworld itself. Above him, not even Doumu Yuanjun and Rama can do it, unless the underworld is destroyed.
This gave him the feeling that Netherworld had officially recognized his status and was seeking peace from him.
"Recruitment" is exactly the method used by mortal dynasties to deal with those giant bandits. They use high-ranking officials and generous salaries to lure these giant bandits and become a part of the dynasty instead of a destabilizing factor.
And he can unscrupulously squander the vitality of heaven and earth in Netherworld. In a sense, isn't it similar to those giant bandits? The will that dominates Netherworld naturally knows how difficult it is to eliminate Shen Lian, so he wants to use gentle methods first.
Shen Lian refused without hesitation, because he believed that Rama would naturally receive this treatment, but they obviously did not accept it, otherwise he would never have been able to break through Rama's magical power from the Buddha's kingdom.
A person who has cultivated to the level of Mahasattva can never be a fool. Although he didn't understand the specific reason, Shen Lian still decisively refused the readily available benefit.
When Shen Lian refused, he felt a heavy pressure. The more heaven and earth energy he absorbed, the greater the pressure on him. If he couldn't bear it, he would be pulled into reincarnation and become a member of the Netherworld. Unless He chose to leave.
At the same time, without him noticing, a page of the book of life and death appeared above his head. Only he could see it. He could clearly see two words in blood on it - "Chen Lian".
He appears in the third line, preceded by two names, the first line is 'Rama' and the second line is 'Golden Spirit Mother'. The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit is Doumu Yuanjun, which is consistent with Shen Lian's understanding of the secret. He also felt that the ranking was based on strength and status, and Rama was obviously above Doumu Yuanjun.
According to the secret, Doumu Yuanjun is the proud disciple of Lingbao Tianzun. Lingbao Tianzun is also one of the few supreme transcendent beings in the world. The "Supreme Pure" among the three pure Taoist masters has achieved countless transcendences earlier than Taiyi Taoist master. With an ancient existence of many years, how can Rama Hede be ranked above his proud disciples? Even if he is the direct disciple of Buddha or Amitabha, it is unlikely that he can surpass Doumu Yuanjun.
In fact, Shen Lian did not know that when the Book of Life and Death appeared on his head, Dou Mu Yuanjun in Biyou Palace and Rama on the pagoda simultaneously noticed that the power of the Book of Life and Death that bound them had been weakened by 20%.
The weakened power of the Book of Life and Death flows back to the Book of Life and Death itself, and part of it flows to Shen Lian.
However, Shen Lian knew one thing clearly: the book of life and death itself was not human, and was as unloved and selfless as the way of heaven. Its oppression of Shen Lian depends on Shen Lian's absorption of Nether's vitality, or the evil that Shen Lian and Nether formed.
The more vitality Shen Lian absorbs, the more sins he commits and the heavier the oppression becomes.
Because the previous 'qi' and physical body have collapsed, the evil he and Netherworld have formed due to their vitality has also disappeared. But now that he has come to Netherworld again, absorbed the vitality, and refused to 'recruit', of course there will be new ones. Because of his sins, he was oppressed by the Book of Life and Death.
It's just that Shen Lian still doesn't understand why he didn't feel this kind of oppression before, and obviously King Xia and Tian Yi didn't feel this kind of oppression either. There must be other reasons, and as Liu Mengde said back then , if you practice to the Celestial Immortal Realm, you can check your name off the book of life and death. There is no reason that the names of Rama and Doumu Yuanjun in the Taiyi Realm are worse than the Celestial Immortal Realm.
In fact, Shen Lian didn't know that the names previously recorded in the book of life and death were not just as simple as recording the names of living beings, but more importantly, they were used to control their life, old age, illness and death, almost their fate.
After arriving in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, it is obvious that they have strong resistance capabilities, and they can all become one with heaven and man, blending in with the Netherworld as if they were in harmony. In order not to waste the power of the Book of Life and Death, the Book of Life and Death allowed them to check off their names. No matter whether they live, old, sick or die, or if the cost of taking care of them is too high, just let them go, as long as they don't leave the Netherworld.
Those who left the Celestial Realm must return their bodies and vitality to the Netherworld just like they did before Shen Lian, leaving only a little bit of spiritual detachment, otherwise they will face retaliation from the Book of Life and Death. Naturally, there are also powerful people who don't return the favor and just leave. Those evil people obviously need to have Taiyi realm level combat power.
Just like now, if Doumu Yuanjun and Rama choose to leave the Netherworld, they will naturally not have that kind of oppression. Therefore, it is precisely because of the terrifying nature of the Taiyi realm that the Book of Life and Death takes special care.
It can even be said that the page of the book of life and death on Shen Lian, Rama, and Doumu Yuanjun is considered independent, similar to a 'blacklist', because the three of them are too dangerous.
When Shen Lian's thoughts were wandering, Li Yuanliang and the others arrived first. At this time, the panic of the people in the city had not disappeared. Li Yuanliang and the others were sword immortals, and their minds were stronger than everyone else in the city, so they were the first to calm down. As soon as the vitality fluctuated, they could sense it, and the result of coming here was to temporarily establish the Shenlian of the soul.
The four of them saluted together, and finally it was Li Yuanliang's disciple Yuan Xuefeng who was the first to ask: "Uncle Master, why do you seem so much weaker to your disciples now?"
He is the most sensitive of the four in spiritual cultivation. Moreover, Shen Lian has never had the habit of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. The previous Shen Lian felt like a white dragon fish suit. Even if he looked like an ordinary monk, they could detect his difference. .
But the current fluctuations in Shen Lian's mana are really as shallow as he appears.
Shen Lian smiled lightly and said: "Xue Feng, your feeling is not wrong. To be sure, the magic power is deep. You are all above me now."
Li Yuanliang blurted out without thinking: "Fifth Junior Brother, Seventh Junior Brother, and Eighth Junior Brother, let's escort our uncle back to Shura Sea of Blood."
The three of them all looked at Li Yuanliang with determination in their eyes.
The friendship between the Qingxuan people has always been deep, and they all secretly made up their minds that even if their uncle objects, they must invite him back to the Blood Sea when he is weak now. Only with his master protecting him can they have no worries.
Otherwise, if the master uncle had made any mistakes, how could the four of them return to the Shura Blood Sea, and they would not be sorry for Shen Lian's kindness in teaching them.
Even if the Xiliang Congress fell into a desperate situation after Shen Lian and them left, it would not be a concern. Nothing was more important than the safety of his uncle.
Shen Lian suddenly had a narrow-minded thought in his heart, and said with a half-smile, "What if I don't go back with you."
Yuan Xuefeng drew out his long sword and said solemnly: "Uncle Master is offended."
If the other three people have a clear understanding, they draw their swords together.
They never dared to hurt their uncle, they just wanted to make him understand the difficulty and return to the Sea of Shura Blood with them to cultivate.
