Within a flash of a thunder, Shen Lian had passed the south sea of misery and headed towards Xi Huang.
Although he successfully broke Daoist Liuqing's Four Symbols Formation, he was not too delighted about it. He felt that his Dao was too shallow and needed to use tricks to overcome the formation. Such means were not the way of the proper Dao and one should never be obsessed with that feeling or else he would regret it in the future.
Shen Lian was fully aware of this principle and could only remind himself to stay on track. Nobody knows what would happen in the future and he could not guarantee his loyalty towards Dao.
Everyone knew the Xuan philosophy of Dao but even celestials and Buddha would not say that they could fully apply the knowledge into practice.
There was no point in overthinking it and Shen Lian chose not to be over-fixated to the idea. By evening, he finally arrived at the Temple of Killings.
