Chapter 1124 — I Am the Heavenly Venerable

Shen Mu shook his head: "Like mind? I would not presume. She has bullied me beyond measure—when has she ever treated me as an ally? You two Daoist Brothers did not hear her just now, when she said I was a dog kept by you Ancient Gods!"

The Lava Earth Lord and the Heaven Lord exchanged a glance, and the Heaven Lord smiled: "The Earth Mother is a muddled sort; you need not take issue with her—she speaks without restraint. She knows her error now. We ask you, Daoist Brother, to leave her a road to live."

Shen Mu dispersed the mist, his expression easing a little, and said with reluctance: "You two Daoist Brothers have shown me much kindness, and it is by borrowing your power that I am called the Great Mage of Ten Thousand Kalpas' Indestructibility. I cannot but heed your instruction. Earth Mother Yuanjun, today I spare your life—now get out of Gongsun Yan's body, and be quick about it!"

Gongsun Yan's face showed resentment and fury, and she said harshly: "My roots have already fused with this Yuanmu—they cannot be parted. If I leave this body, where am I to go?"

Shen Mu took out the Yuanmu core and tossed it on the ground, saying mildly: "This stick—I lend it to you for lodging."

Gongsun Yan ground her teeth in hatred. The Heaven Lord coughed once, and Earth Mother's earthly soul, having no choice, flew out of Gongsun Yan's body and burrowed into the Yuanmu core.

Her voice came from within the Yuanmu core, hoarse: "I have only my earthly soul left, and the Yuanmu core is so feeble—how am I to stand against the Ten Heavenly Venerables in the future?"

Shen Mu tossed her a bottle of Hongmeng primal fluid and sneered: "Reviving you cost me capital! When you begged me to revive you, the price was one bottle of Hongmeng primal fluid and the Yuanmu core. Now I return them all to you—you have profited handsomely!"
