Chapter 1096 — The Dragon-Blood Divine Tree Guards the Primordial Spirit

Shen Mu sat slumped where he was, motionless, continuing to drive the Mystic Body Three Elixirs Art to hold his flesh together.

From the dragon-blood treasure tree came the stir of his divine sense: "Six hundred thousand years ago, when the Longhan Heavenly Court split, so great an event would not have passed the Divine King Gong Yun by. " Yan'er asked, "Why can we not return to the moment when Achou Tubo wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Court?

Back then the Divine King Gong Yun had Great Hong bound and flogged; it would be easy enough to find her.

" Wei Suifeng shook his head and drove the ghost ship on. Beyond the ship lay heavy fog. "You were there as well in those days.

Two selves cannot exist at once, unless one of them vanishes. We cannot go back.

" He was about to send Shen Mu and the dragon-blood treasure tree onto the treasure palanquin when suddenly the light wavered, and a vast canopy appeared upon the palanquin; it was the very canopy that guarded the Xiaohan Heavenly Court, and at nightfall it simply returned of itself to the ghost ship. This treasure palanquin had borne the brunt of Shen Mu's desperate battle with Great Hong; when the canopy came crashing down, the palanquin could hold no longer and split into pieces.

Wei Suifeng frowned, and with a gentle sweep of both hands, countless runes and great daos swirled into one great circle, gathering the dragon-blood treasure tree and Shen Mu into the garden. He gave it a light pat, and the ring settled behind Yan'er's head, like a halo wrought by the blessing of an ancient god. Wei Suifeng then summoned Lin Xiao: "Pluck another lantern!

Wait, pluck several, lest someone smash them again! " A plume-crested fire pheasant dragon came running, nine lanterns hanging from its beak.

Wei Suifeng took down the lanterns; the six heavenly dragons, the Dragon Qilin, and Yan'er each took one, and one was hung upon the dragon-blood treasure tree. He instructed the Dragon Qilin: "We have already become immutable substance, and cannot leave the ghost ship.

I do not know whether the world beyond is that of six hundred thousand years ago, or whether peril lies in wait.

You must all be cautious! " He pondered a moment, then said, "If it is indeed six hundred thousand years ago, then go and meet Youming, son of the Northern Emperor, and steal his Lapis Lazuli Azure Heaven Banner.

That will be enough to protect yourselves!

"
