The monarch took a furtive glance of Shen Lian’s unmeasurable wisdom and quiet down instead.

Those who had followed him for many years knew that the moment the monarch kept quiet was his scariest moment. The monarch now was the same as his ancestors who could measure the gain and losses like an accurate scale.

He spoke slowly, “The things you wanted, I can give it to you. As long as you can help me.” The Golden Wheel King already had an insight into the nature of this matter. There was no one in this world who had no desire. As long as there was a desire, then there would be a loophole.

Shen Lian looked around his surrounding and quietly asked a question, “There are too many lost souls here. Do you sleep soundly every night?”

The Golden Wheel King’s eyes became cold, like the giant python, he was boundless and domineering. He plainly asked, “I see living ones as ants, what more of the dead ones?”

Suddenly, a chilling cold wind blew through the entire palace and countless spots of soft white light slowly appeared. It dyed the floor of the palace, and it slowly converged around Shen Lian’s body.

As more syllables sprouted out from Shen Lian’s mouth, the Golden Wheel King’s eyes got brighter, it showed a kind of desperate desire. This was Yu Duolou’s unique Rebirth Mantra. He killed all of Yu Duolou’s descendants in hopes of getting this mantra, but to no avail.

He only hated the fact that there were not enough lost souls in the palace. What if the power of rebirth was insufficient, that it was not enough to condense into the true drug of immortality, the Amrtod, would that not leave him with eternal regret?

The last time he got hit by the black gush of Qi in the palace’s banquet, everyone thought that it was the Yu Duolou clan’s curse. Only he himself knew, that it was the backfire of the consecration to the evil art he had been practicing.

At that point, he had no more vigor to sacrifice and he constantly faced the imminent perils of vanishing in thin air.

The Golden Wheel King hungered and was also afraid. He only needed to wait for Shen Lian to finish reciting the Rebirth Mantra and condense the Amrtod. Then, he would have his hands on it. The best case was to force Shen Lian to give the mantra to him.

Before that, he needed this eastern Daoist because of the amazing holy water that could restore back some of his vigor, he did not expect such a huge surprise.

However, the rolling power of rebirth and the soft white lights were like the flowing water that rushed non-stop, it did not converge neither did it concentrate. It did not show signs of becoming a drop of the Amrtod.

The countless phantoms of the lost souls all bowed towards Shen Lian and entered into the karmic cycle. As for Shen Lian, he was bathed entirely in the soft white flow. It was hard to describe the heavenly and elegant manner.

The Golden Wheel King shouted, “Where is the Amrtod? My Amrtod! Why is it not condensed?”

Shen Lian plainly smiled as he said, “I am not of Yu Duolou’s bloodline, neither do I possess a Buddhist’s heart, how could I condense this medicine of immortality? I am only collecting the power of rebirth while conveniently helping these poor lost souls to cross to the next life. It seems that you, the monarch, still has some conscience in you, since you did not disrupt me.”

The last two sentences were naturally bitter irony. It was then that the Golden Wheel King knew that Shen Lian was toying with him.

He spoke with loathe in his voice, “If you cannot condense the Amrtod, do not think you can walk out of here today.”

In actual fact, the Golden Wheel King did not plan to allow Shen Lian to get out from here alive at the first place. He knew too much and triggered the rebellion of those low lives. If he had not used one of the Buddhist treasure, his precious body would have been destroyed by the wishes of those low lives.

Shen Lian leisurely replied, “You really want the Amrtod that badly? Well, I did see a drop not long ago.”

The Golden Wheel King coolly said, “There is no use for you to tell me more. I will know everything once I capture you.”

The udumbara shone brightly. The Golden Wheel King gave a stern grunt and the sixteen golden armored gods, who were lifting him, bathed under the holy light of udumbara and in a swift movement like the wind, they circled Shen Lian.

The Golden Wheel King’s facial expression was fierce as he announced, “There is still time for you to beg for my forgiveness. Or you can taste the power of my Sixteen Vajras Exorcism Formation.”

His body moved in a flash and he stood on top of the udumbara with limitless Buddhist rays swirling around him.

Shen Lian waved his sleeves as he laughed, “I came just to see this Vajra Jiedi 1 Dharma. Why should I beg for forgiveness?”

The Golden Wheel King could get the Buddhist Zen masters to be extra polite and respectful towards him. That was certainly not solely because of his title as the monarch of the Jinji Country. As long as this udumbara was here, the Golden Wheel King could use its Buddhist power to subdue these sixteen golden armored gods and transform them into the Vajra Jiedi. As for that Sixteen Vajras Exorcism Formation, it would still be information even with incomplete numbers of them.

Shen Lian lightly moved his fingers. Those power of rebirth flowed out like cascading waterfalls. Like the two-edged sword and halberd, it hit it from all directions, but it still could not break through the formation created by the Vajra Jiedi.

It did not have any abstruseness to it. It was solely that the power of the Vajra Jiedi was forceful and it was hard to be injured by solely Dao techniques.

The Vajra Jiedi could be said that it had attained the ‘gold’ of the five elements. The Buddhists had a saying, ‘The technique that could not be destroyed nor exchanged is called the Vajra.’

Shen Lian saw that the power of rebirth was in vain, yet he was not annoyed. With a gentle smile, he extended his flocket like a deity, and all the soft white glow went back into his sleeves. After all, this power of rebirth still had its use in the future.

Since this was the Abstruse Technique of the Vajra, he was not in a hurry to solve it. However, in the five elements, fire restrained gold. The Dao of creation and destruction was the most efficient in examining the changes of the five elements. And so, Shen Lian opened his mouth and a ball of fire appeared.

The red glazing flames were like the afternoon sun. It raised the temperature of the area significantly, steaming hot waves caused the snow pears like leaves of the udumbara to roll up and wilt. The Golden Wheel King even felt the scorch on his face.

He grunted in disdain, and a dispersing light was released from between his brows.

The sixteen Vajras, as though they were being inflated, their body began to tower. The tip of their heads touched the sky with their feet remained on the ground. Even though the flames were fierce, but it only burnt their calves.

Shen Lian’s body floated in midair. He shook his head and he pointed a finger towards the flame. Green Qi appeared and blended into the flames. He was making fire with wood and the flames grew fiercer, the force of it increased substantially as it oppressed the Sixteen Vajras Exorcism Formation.

His demeanor was poised and serene. He even had the time to glance towards the Golden Wheel King. This look sent a chill down the other’s spine. How could this person cultivate such horrifying mana?

Even though the Golden Wheel King still had the power that was equal to the level of the Golden Luohan, but his mind and cultivation experience still had not reached that level yet. Even that senior monk of the Shengguan Temple only gotten to the Luohan state after he had finally attained the Buddhist’s heart of liberation.

The Golden Wheel King was infinitely frightened. He had already used half of his mana and yet, he still could not subdue this Daoist. It seemed that he needed to deal his ace regardless of whether the plan would backfire afterwards. With anger and determination in mind, his body shriveled down at a speed that the human eye can catch, and the fruits of the udumbara blackened. It was as though the Qi of essence were tossed into an endless pit in his body. Suddenly, a dispersing light flared between his brows and it entered the bodies of the Vajra Jiedi. What followed was the Vajra Exorcism Formation became a tight barrier, trapping Shen Lian within in.
