" Dragon Qilin said with full confidence. "The Sect Master thinks he has mastered the Dragon-Rearing Classic, little knowing he is entirely within the grasp of my Human-Rearing Classic! " The caravan prepared to set out, and the old merchant bade Shen Mu farewell, warning once more, "Young Shen, you must absolutely not say you are from the Waste, or else great disaster will surely come!
" Shen Mu thanked him, and stood on Dragon Qilin's forehead, hurrying west. Behind him came the sound of bells on the yellow sheep's necks, as one yellow sheep after another, carrying goods, strode on two legs toward the Waste in the east. Dragon Qilin's speed was flying-fast, but even so, running until evening, they had still not reached the Western Lands.
As they passed a stretch of great mountains in the desert, Shen Mu glanced at them a few times, and Dragon Qilin had already run past the great mountain.
Shen Mu suddenly said, "Dragon Fatty, turn back! " Dragon Qilin was puzzled, but hastily turned back.
Shen Mu looked it up and down, and saw that this great mountain was extremely towering, but there was no fire on the mountain. He rose into the air and soon reached the summit, and saw that the summit was very vast, with broken walls and ruined pillars everywhere, where one could faintly make out its former glory.
There were also some wind-dried bones here, buried in the sand and dust. Shen Mu examined them; those who had died here were giants, of exceptionally massive build. He came to a pillar and touched it.
From beside the pillar hung several broken thick chains.
"Sect Master, what happened to this mountain? " Dragon Qilin came flying over on fire clouds.
Shen Mu raised his hand and pointed to the distance of the desert.
"Look over there. " Dragon Qilin looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a dark, sunken sphere appear in the desert, letting the wind and sand blow over it. "This is a Sun Boat.
A dead Sun Boat. " Shen Mu descended from the boat, his face calm as an ancient well.
"Let's go.
" Dragon Qilin glanced at his expression, not daring to say more, and carried him onward west.
Before long, they came upon a second great ship—a battered and broken Soul Boat, also already wrecked.
Then they came upon a third great ship lying fallen in the desert. This Soul Boat had been through extremely bitter war, and was exceptionally ruined.
Shen Mu suddenly came to a realization: "The Myriad Gods Nature Art is the nemesis of Sun Boats and Soul Boats!
"
