. " His gaze fell upon Grandmother Zhu's face and could hardly be moved away again. All at once the thought came to him of taking a new wife and finding a stepmother for Sang Hua.
He hastily steadied his mind and looked away, not daring to entertain improper thoughts.
"As for interrogating Feng Gou," he said, "it would be better to leave that to True God Pang Yu.
Feng Gou is, after all, a god of our Taihuang Heaven, and a leader besides, of high station and great authority. For us to interrogate her privately would be somewhat excessive. " The Lame Elder chuckled. "Why so much trouble?
Let the Alchemist feed her some bugs. I guarantee she won't last an hour before she confesses everything. " Snow Fox said excitedly, "We could also have Blind Grandpa use the Black Dragon Spear to separate the spirit fetus of her primordial spirit from her soul, and turn her into a mortal! " The Blind Elder stroked her little head and said with a smile, "My spear is called Long Tuo, not the Black Dragon Spear.
" "That's right. " The Black Dragon Spear behind him suddenly came to life, slowly circling the little fox. The black dragon, now nothing but bones, said slowly, "I am Long Tuo, a dragon king from the demon race. But you were not wrong about one thing: my lord and I can indeed peel her soul apart from her primordial spirit—though it would be agonizing beyond measure. " Snow Fox studied the divine spear Long Tuo curiously, then suddenly hit upon another idea. She hastily raised her hand, her eyes sparkling.
"There's more, there's more! I've thought of another one!
We could have Grandpa Silent Craftsman refine her in his furnace, melt her primordial spirit into water, and pour molten iron in—then see whether she talks! " "This little fox spirit is no easy mark either!
" The Venerable God Sang Ye shivered several more times and said hastily, "Perhaps I should be the one to take her away and interrogate her. My friends, I will go on ahead.
As for the Wuwang City watchtower ahead, I beg you all to help guard it for a couple of days!
" With that he seized Tianfeng Gou's physical body and primordial spirit and hurried off. Shen Mu said hastily, "Grandmother, Grandpa Alchemist, why have you all come to Taihuang Heaven? " Grandmother Zhu raised a hand to pat his head. Shen Mu hastily bowed his head, and she patted it, smiling. "You've grown taller again—caught up with the Alchemist.
Grow a little more and the Blind Elder will only reach your waist. " The Blind Elder was quite displeased. "Grandmother, I am still growing. Look at the Venerable God Sang Ye just now—over twenty thousand years old, and terrifyingly tall.
Clearly the longer one lives, the taller one grows!
" Grandmother Zhu shot him a look. "Blind Elder, your intelligence is about that high and no higher. Shen'er, we came here to see you, and also to look at the cultivation methods here, to see whether we might find a way to break through. We have all reached a bottleneck.
Those Taihuang Heaven divine power users you sent to the Heavenly Sage Academy truly have some skill; we have watched some and learned some.
But to cultivate systematically, we still need to come to Taihuang Heaven in search of deeper methods. " Shen Mu had indeed discussed with the Imperial Preceptor of Jingping, True God Pang Yu, and the others sending some young divine power users to Jingping to study Daoist arts and divine powers, and at the same time transmitting Taihuang Heaven's cultivation methods into Jingping to make up for its deficiencies in cultivation. The divine power users of both sides complemented each other, and indeed this could bring about terrifying advances in the strength of both.
