Chapter 197 — A Gathering of Masters
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
The peak had been shaved flat, and towering phantoms of gods and demons stood there in ranks—but the masters of the great sects were nowhere to be seen.
Shen Mu looked closely and saw that these sect masters were either standing on the palms of the god-and-demon phantoms or seated cross-legged between their brows—not one of them stood upon the solid earth. High above, they bore down on Shen Mu and the others with tremendous pressure.
These Cult Master-rank existences were simply too powerful.
On the fingertip of one divine phantom's palm stood a beautiful woman, gazing down at Imperial Teacher Jingping from her high perch, and she said softly, "The foremost man beneath the gods, the reigning Imperial Teacher Jingping—have you brought no helpers with you?
" The divine phantom took the form of a Daoist, a hundred zhang tall, his eyes snow-white as if woven of white light, a great serpent coiled about his body and a dark tortoise beneath his feet.
As a gentle breeze drifted past, the qi behind him, like fluttering ribbons, swayed faintly in the wind. At this sight Si Yunxiang's heart skipped a beat, and she said in a low voice, "The god her Primordial Qi transformed into has been refined into corporeal substance—a realm bordering on divinity!
" Shen Mu knew little of such matters; something stirred in his mind, and he asked, "Little Sister, suppose there was a man who had lost all four limbs, yet when viewed with the Heavenly Eye his limbs appeared whole and unharmed, like a peerless and towering deity radiating divine light on all sides until one could scarcely make him out—how would that realm compare with this woman's? " Si Yunxiang knew nothing of this either, and before she could answer, Imperial Teacher Jingping abruptly turned his head, an unstoppable momentum bursting from him, his battle intent surging to the heavens: "You have seen such a person?
" Startled by the sudden eruption of battle intent, Shen Mu said, "It is an elder of my home.
" The corner of Imperial Teacher Jingping's eye twitched.
"An elder of your home again? Your home has rather a lot of elders.
"
