Gate of Immortality

Chapter 36: Evil Shadow

Yang Shi closed his eyes and started meditation. He found out the information about the Azure Lotus and the Fiery Lilly. His eyes widened when he read the information.

The true name of the lotus is (Heaven Purification Eternal Dao Lotus)

" Hmm, That's some cool name." Yang Shi nodded with satisfaction. According to Yang Shi's knowledge, any treasure with a word of Heaven or Dao, is a peerless treasure.

"Let's read further. It says, " Connect your mental energy with the lotus. Be one with this." Yang Shi closed his eyes and started the meditation.

Slowly in his consciousness, He could feel the existence of the lotus. In a dark space, He could see lotus emitting a gentle azure blue light. Yang Shi drifted near the lotus.

When he touched, his mind suddenly grew calm. Like he is alone, drifting in a vast expanse.

Yang Shi's heart suddenly became empty. He is only thinking about how to reach the Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm.

" Become one with heaven and earth. Draw the power of cosmos and awake the spirit."

Yang Shi could feel that he is advancing toward the next real slowly, But after a while, it stopped.

Yang Shi silently cursed, " Damn, Still a bit away."

" Dao is limitless. Dao is eternal. With an unshakable will, Heaven can be toppled. Life, Death, All the Karma, Emotion, and Desires, In the end, everything will vanish to nothingness, Ans Nothingness shall give birth to creation, But Dao will remain the same."

An ancient voice rang in his mind. It was neither of a man or of a woman. After hearing this Yang Shi 's heart grew calmer.

" Dao is everything." Yang Shi said absent mindedly.

" But Is is called a living being if it had no emotions, no desires?" Another voice spoked in Yang Shi's heart.

" A living being has Seven emotions and Six desires. What is the meaning of a soulless body? Cultivation is the way to fulfill the emotions and desires."

the second voice spoke.

Within the view of Yang Shi, Flame burst and the firey Lily appeared. The red and blue aura clashed with each other. It looked like The lotus and The Lily was fighting each other.

" For achieving Dao, All price is acceptable."

" Achieving the Dao isn't important. What matters is the Journey. Betraying your heart to reach the peak, Can this be called Dao? Never."

Yang Shi's mind was a mess. Suddenly he opened his eyes. Beads of bullets are dropping down from his forehead. Yang Shi asked himself, " Who is right? Who is wrong? What is truth and What is false?"

" Nothing is right or wrong. Evil and Righteousness, All kinds of Dao, merge in the end. There is no Strong or Weak dao, No correct or False Dao. What you do is Dao." Someone said to Yang Shi.

Yang Shi started to hear the voice of Samsara Emperor.

" Kid, I am going to tell you the way to reach the Primordial Spirit Realm.

The blue Lotus symbolizes the Dao path.

Once a mighty cultivator wished to reach the end of Dao. He severed his everything, All relationships, all kinds of Worldly ties, all karmic strings. He cultivated the path of Emotionlessness, In the end, he severed his life to achieve the pinnacle. Unfortunately, he didn't reach. But he gained the enlightenment and materialized his Dao to this lotus.

The Lily on the other hand, Ha the same story but on a different path. Someone looked at the mortals and got the idea. He cultivated all Seven Emotions and Six Desires. He indulged in the world. He did both Righteousness and Evil. He did what his heart told him. He sought the path amidst the emotions. But in the end, he didn't achieve it.

Being Righteous and Evil doesn't matter, What matters is your heart. Activate the final petals of the Lily to ascend the next realm." Saying this, Samsara Emperor's voice faded.

" Three petals of lily represents Anger, Lust, and Geed. Only petal of greed needs to be awakened."

Yang Shi thought.

Emotions and Desires are the key, Which draws out the true power of a living being. Among the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, Anger, Lust, and Greed are the most powerful ones. If one controls them, They will become the supreme weapon. If they control the man, Only ruin awaits for him.

This lily is the perfect treasure to control them.

" Ok, Time to work hard." Yang Shi decided.

Time flew and a month passed.

One night, A person was running in the dark.

" Spare, PLEASE SPARE ME!!" The person cried.

In front of his was a black clothed person with a dark mask. In his hands, Two daggers shone with cold light. The light flashed and the blood dyed on the road.

........................................

" Damn, Another assassination happened yesterday. People said that the dead was a worker in the City Lord's mansion. They are still trying to catch the assassin." A bearded person said loudly While drinking wine.

" Who else than Evil Shadow? It seems another powerful person joined the Blood Moon Hall." Another person said.

" Blood Moon Hall is truly badass. Nobody could do anything to them." The bearded person laughed.

A young man asked him, " Who is this Evil Shadow?"

" I guess You didn't heard. Evil Shadow is a new Assasin. In just a month, He killed more than ten peoples. Merchant Ye's son Ye Zheng was also killed by him." The bearded man said deeply.

" Oh, I see." The Young Man was Yang Shi. He was naturally very happy to hear about Evil Shadow Because that was his nickname in Blood Moon Hall.

" Damn Them, I wanted a name like Grim Reaper, Emissary of Death or Supreme Demon. But all those names are taken away." *Bruh*

Yang Shi scolded the Blood Moon Hall in his mind. But then, The bounties are plentiful. Yang Shi now owned 200,000 Gold Coins. He thought about purchasing some high level equipment.

He went to the Hundred Gold Pavilion. The salesgirl saw Yang Shi and said with a smile," Ah, Its customer Yang. Its been a while since you came here."

" Yes, Today, I would Like to buy some good weapons." Yang Shi nodded.

" So what kind of weapon customer wants?" The girl asked.

" I want a long sword." Yang Shi said

The salesgirl showed him various spirit swords, Yang Shi liked none of them. With his money, He should be able to buy a decent sword.

Then he suddenly stopped and pointed at a sword and said, " I want to take a look at that."
