Chapter 1230 — Your Uncle Is Going to Beat Your Father

Xu Shenghua watched him without blinking and said, unhurried, "You are deeply unhappy? You feel your intellect has been crushed, that you have been doing useless work? You feel that you are the female, and he the male?"

Shen Mu shook his head. "I am not like you. You are used to being crushed by me; I am only occasionally bested by him in a single round."

"You will get used to it."

Xu Shenghua said, flat and cool, "You have been to the Ancestral Court, and know the layout of the primordial universe; Lan Yutian worked it out in reverse. He has never been there; from his comprehension of the workings of the Great Dao of heaven and earth, he deduced that such a place exists. The difficulty of opening his realms is beyond comparison with yours."

Shen Mu nodded.

"I am using him to strike at your Dao heart. Only then will I have the confidence of victory."

Xu Shenghua said, without haste, "Your Dao heart is firm, and almost no one can break it—especially after the Jingping Calamity, when your Dao heart reached a state never seen before. If the Dao heart were a realm, then in the height of your realm few in this world could match you. Unfortunately, it is not."

Shen Mu's eyes shone like snow as he smiled. "And yet my Dao heart is not so easily shattered. Lan Yutian's talent does surpass mine, but he walks the same road as I; my achievements will be no weaker than his—only stronger! What he understands, I understand; what I understand, he may not."

He clasped his hands behind his back and said with ease, "Brother Xu, before me, you have no chance of victory at all!"

Xu Shenghua suddenly raised his head, and his great divine-ability Dao domain burst forth!
