Chapter 1354 — All Ways Return to One
The Herdsman of the Wasteland Page 2 of 2
Wei Suifeng sneered, "So you really didn't go! Those Emperor Throne arts—I went and retrieved them all myself! My Feathered Forest Army soldiers need arts of a higher level, so I braved the peril of exposure and ran to those places, digging here and there, digging for ages before I dug up the treasures I'd hidden!
You never went at all! " Shen Mu said sheepishly, "I had more important matters. I brought out the Ancestral Court.
" Wei Suifeng's expression eased somewhat, and he did not take the matter up with him. "I gave those Emperor Throne arts to Emperor Yanxiu. Emperor Yanxiu sought out a number of people of surpassing talent and established the Hall of Hearing the Way, intending to revise these arts and replace the divine bridges within them with heavenly rivers. I am among them, and so is Brother Yun. If you have the time, go back and join in the revision.
" Shen Mu nodded repeatedly, his gaze drifting.
Wei Suifeng snorted. He knew Shen Mu found it troublesome—in truth, Wei Suifeng himself found it troublesome too. The reform and transformation in Jingping was not merely a matter of abolishing divine bridges and divine treasuries; there was also the Jianmu Innate Divine Bridge, and all the divine abilities of the Emperor Throne arts required great revision and overhaul! Worse still, in recent years, after the transformation in Jingping, each divine treasury had undergone subtle changes as well, and the details requiring revision were exceedingly many.
Moreover, even the heavenly palaces within the Emperor Throne arts required considerable alteration!
Ever since Kaihuang split the Heavenly Court open with a single sword, certain audacious villains in Jingping had actually begun to doubt the heavenly palace system itself, wishing to improve the various realms of the heavenly palaces—and recently they had produced many results. The Hall of Hearing the Way had been established in just this way, and those within it were all lawless, heaven-defying folk. "The dao wound left by Heavenly Venerable Xiao—the Great Way runes used in it are all acquired Great Way runes!
" By now Yun Jianli was examining Heavenly Venerable Yue's dao wound, and the astonishment on his face deepened. He blurted out, "Doesn't Heavenly Venerable Xiao cultivate the innate Way?
Why is it that the Emperor Throne arts fused into his Purple Empyrean Azure Vault Art are all of the acquired Way?
" "Because he is the Heavenly Emperor. " Shen Mu said from the side, "His Innate Qi commands all the innate Great Ways under heaven.
He has no need to use the Purple Empyrean Azure Vault Art to fuse innate Great Ways.
" Wei Suifeng and Yun Jianli's expressions changed drastically.
"Do you mean to say. . .
" Shen Mu said in a heavy voice, "Exactly!
The Heavenly Emperor Taichu intends, in this life, to sweep up all the innate Great Ways and all the acquired Ways under heaven in a single net, and achieve the unification of all Ways! "
