The Trapping of Celestial

The pleasure that followed the pain could easily make someone let his guard down. Shen Lian welled-up with happiness; the spiritual force from the Golden Path made him feel as though he was turning into a Celestial.

It was as though the completeness, freedom, and joy that one would feel after attaining Dao was nothing more than this.

Celestial music started playing in the air, and golden flowers bloomed on the trees flanking the Golden Path. Just as the sea, the flowers on the branches danced in waves along with the wind; it was as though countless gorgeous women were waving at Shen Lian.

When everything seemed to be going great, the gold caught on fire. The flowers and the trees were burning, and even the Celestial music became drums that urged the fire on. The flames surrounding Shen Lian burnt with greater intensity.
