Chapter 1059 — Completing the Divine Power, the Ghost Ship Crosses the Realms

The Herdsman of the Wasteland Page 2 of 3

Each time it is she who carries you back to the past, who carries you to witness the history of the past, and so you too become part of that history. " Shen Mu shook his head: "Each time she carried me there, it was to the era she wanted me to go.

This time, I want to choose for myself which eras to visit. " Wei Suifeng looked at him and said in a low voice: "You want to change history?

Junior Brother, I advise you not to waste your effort.

When you try to change history, you will find that what you do is history itself; you are merely a figure within history, a fact already determined. On this point I have felt more deeply than you. " Shen Mu smiled: "You snatched my opportunity and ran off to the Longhan era to linger for several thousand years. You owe me—will you help me or not?

" "Of course I will help you. But… " Wei Suifeng hesitated: "Once the ghost ship's divine power is made whole, I may never again be able to leave this ship. Because…

" He smiled bitterly: "I have already become a part of this ship.

" Shen Mu understood his words: to undergo one complete great reincarnation aboard this ship was to merge with the ghost ship, to become part of it, to enter the invisible state—just as the Feathered Forest Army aboard had done.

Wei Suifeng had entered the ghost ship long ago, had passed through countless reincarnations, and had merged with the ghost ship. The ghost ship, joined with Celestial Venerable Ling's divine power, had become part of that divine power—which is to say, everyone aboard the ghost ship, save Shen Mu and his companions who had just arrived, had already become part of Celestial Venerable Ling's divine power! The divine power Celestial Venerable Ling had used when she trapped the ghost ship was not complete, so breaking this divine power was still relatively easy.

If Shen Mu and Wei Suifeng made this divine power whole, bringing it to a perfect state, then Wei Suifeng and the others would become part of this perfect divine power, transformed into unchanging matter flowing within the Yong River! To break Celestial Venerable Ling's perfect divine power was all but impossible! The physical body of the ancient god Celestial Emperor was still trapped within Celestial Venerable Ling's divine power to this day, unable to free itself!

Thus Wei Suifeng was deeply worried, fearing that they might never again leave the ghost ship. "Then will you help me, Senior Brother?

" Shen Mu asked. Wei Suifeng looked into his eyes; Shen Mu's eyes were clear and brilliantly bright. "Junior Brother, are you a Tyrant Body? " "Yes.

" "You passed through the Jingping Tribulation?

" "Yes.

" "You went to the Heavenly Court and became Celestial Venerable Mu? " "Yes.

" "You have been to the Great Void?

" "Yes. " "You saw the corpse of the Grand Emperor?

" "Yes.

" "You brought out Celestial Venerable Yun's physical body? " "Yes. " "You met Kaihuang, and found the Land of No Sorrow?

" "Yes.

" "I will help you! " Wei Suifeng laughed heartily and extended his palm: "These are all things I have lived through, yet things I failed to accomplish!

You accomplished them—your ability surpasses mine!

I could not undo Celestial Venerable Ling's divine power, but you surely can!

" Shen Mu extended his palm, and the two hands clasped together with a heavy smack.

"Brothers of one heart can cut through metal!

" Shen Mu took out the peach-wood hairpin and opened his palm; the hairpin spun in his palm, then he withdrew his hand, and the hairpin floated suspended between the two of them.

Shen Mu stirred the incomplete Unchanging Divine Power he had comprehended; all his mana erupted, and at once his Primordial Embryo Divine Treasury expanded, enveloping the ghost ship!

Feng Qiuyun's gaze flickered; suddenly she clenched her teeth and rushed at the two of them.

At the same time, the stone coffin burst open with a boom, and the corpse-demon transformed from the Shanghuang Celestial Emperor flew out from the coffin, its corpse-qi flooding the heavens.

Feng Qiuyun and the corpse-demon joined forces and charged at the two.

"I anticipated you long ago!

Feng Qiuyun, you do not want to be transformed into part of the complete Unchanging Divine Power, so you were certain to come and block us.

" Wei Suifeng laughed heartily, splayed his five fingers, and struck backward; Feng Qiuyun gave a miserable scream and was frozen in midair, against her will revealing her true form, transforming into a fire phoenix, unable to move.

The cloak behind Wei Suifeng billowed, and with a whoosh it flew up, howling as it wrapped around the corpse-demon transformed from the Shanghuang Celestial Emperor, swish-swish-swish, rolling it into a great bundle, and with a thud it flew back into the stone coffin.

The stone coffin slammed shut with a boom.

Wei Suifeng raised his hand and waved; the stone coffin flew up and out of the ship.

The stone coffin came into the black mist outside the ship and suddenly vanished; the next moment it reappeared on the deck.

Yet a teleportation gate had appeared on the deck, exactly where the stone coffin had emerged.

The stone coffin entered the teleportation gate and was once more transported into the black mist, then again appeared within the gate—swish-swish—appearing and vanishing back and forth, appearing again, vanishing again.

"Junior Brother, I could play at this for a hundred years and never tire of it," Wei Suifeng said with a laugh.

Shen Mu said in a low voice: "Senior Brother, begin!

" Wei Suifeng's divine power erupted, and he likewise unleashed the Unchanging Divine Power he had comprehended. Shen Mu's vital essence and divine consciousness drove straight in, pouring into Celestial Venerable Ling's peach-wood hairpin. At this moment, light blazed forth all around the ghost ship; it began to travel through time, to undergo reincarnation.

The divine powers of the two men and the divine power within the peach-wood hairpin erupted at the same time, blending with the light; the ghost ship left behind by Celestial Venerable Ling absorbed their divine powers and shook violently.

The qilin-dragon, Yan'er, and the six heavenly dragons turned pale and hurriedly threw themselves down, clutching the seams of the deck.

The ghost ship pitched more and more violently, and the light outside grew ever brighter. Suddenly the ghost ship gave a heavy jolt, as though it had fallen from the heights and crashed onto the river's surface.

The light vanished; at some unknown moment, thick mist had filled the river's surface.

The ghost ship sailed silently through the mist, the sound of water audible to the ear. "Junior Brother, you have been to all the maps I left you, haven't you?

" Wei Suifeng lay on the deck, panting for breath, and asked Shen Mu beside him. Shen Mu lay beside him and smiled: "I went to most of them.

Some places were very interesting, while others were exceedingly perilous. " "You should visit them all; the places I went to were all quite good.

" Wei Suifeng sat up and saw the mist gradually dispersing; he smiled: "You should leave now. " Shen Mu also sat up and nodded.

Wei Suifeng grasped at the air, and a crested fire-pheasant dragon of immense size came flying, a lantern in its beak.

Wei Suifeng took the lantern from its mouth and said: "If you want to return to the ship, extinguish this lantern.

" Shen Mu glanced at the crested fire-pheasant dragon, took the lantern, set it upon the Heavenly Dragon Chariot, and said in a low voice: "Fat Dragon, Yan'er, let us set out! " The qilin-dragon set the Heavenly Dragon Chariot in order, and the chariot drove out of the ghost ship.

Outside, the Heavenly River surged; Shen Mu looked back, and the ghost ship was hidden within the mist, vanished without a trace. "May I ask, friend!

" Shen Mu was just about to return to the chariot when he saw a young man, travel-worn, hurrying along the surface of the Heavenly River.
