Holy Temple

Naturally, the family of Wuzhong would not dare to go after Shen Lian directly, so they had to go for Ah Lian instead.

Their request was simple, to be associated with Shen Lian the great State Preceptor of Xia empire through Ah Lian, even if it meant becoming Shen Lian's slaves.

Ah Lian could fend them off for a day or two, but she could not endure their pester day and night, so she finally entered the Qing Xuan Cave to see Shen Lian.

Qing Xuan Cave had almost a hundred stone rooms, large or small. Shen Lian's was the largest and brightly lit even without any fire torch or night glowing pearl.

Ah Lian was already familiar with this sight, having seen this a few times.

In the middle of the stone room, Shen Lian sat on a stone couch in lotus position, his mind in a fugue of the universe, and his body surrounded by lotus shaped Qi of Dao, full of celestial charisma as if there was a galaxy around him.
