" Yan Jingjing's heart bloomed with joy. She stole a glance at Shen Mu, lowered her head shyly, and was overcome with bashfulness. Shen Mu scratched his head. "It wasn't that difficult.
In a desert in another space I came upon a general from the era of the Supreme Emperor.
I woke him, built tombs for his soldiers and buried them, and out of gratitude he gave me the yin and yang qi. " The Angler trembled with anger. The little female fish poked her head out of the basket again and giggled.
"Master, this Shen boy is very much like you—destined to be alone all his life.
" The Angler said flatly, "Fish soup tonight. " The little female fish hastily pulled her head back and dared not speak.
"Strange.
Just now, when I drew the pure yin qi from your Divine Treasury of the Primal Embryo, I sensed there was something else in your brow—but it is not hidden in the Divine Treasury of the Primal Embryo.
" The Angler looked Shen Mu up and down, then his gaze settled on Shen Mu's brow. He was quite curious about the willow leaf there that slowly shifted colors.
"What is beneath this willow leaf of yours? Even I cannot see through it. Can you peel it off?
" Shen Mu said, "Beneath the willow leaf is a third eye. My elder brother lives inside it, so it is best not to peel the leaf off. Living in my eye together with my brother are also the thoughts and consciousness of Mahabrahma, the Heavenly King Buddha, the Lord of Heaven, and the Red Emperor of the Chiming era.
" The Angler was startled and stared at him wide-eyed. "Are you not boasting? This only makes me more curious about your eye.
Peel it off, and I will send my fishhook in—perhaps I can fish your brother out. " Shen Mu said hastily, "Mahabrahma, the Lord of Heaven, and the Red Emperor are inside precisely to seal him.
There is also Tu Bo's seal in the eye!
How could I let him out?
" The Angler was filled with doubt and wonder, and grew even more curious about his eye. Shen Mu grew wary.
"Are all Heavenly Masters this curious? " The Great Red Kun beat its wings and flew to Taihuang Heaven, turning sharply—though "sharply" was only relative to Shen Mu and the others; to this great Kun, the turn was leisurely and unhurried.
Once above Taihuang Heaven, Shen Mu saw the Wilderness Ruins standing upright, perpendicular to Taihuang Heaven; heaven and earth had in that moment tilted through a right angle. Such a thing looked inconceivable, but it was in fact still the work of terrestrial primordial magnetic force—that is, primordial magnetism.
"As for divine powers of primordial magnetism, they also appear in the Scripture of the Great Nurturing Dark Demon. Granny Zhu is quite familiar with them, though such divine powers seem very rare.
" Shen Mu stared blankly, lost in thought. Primordial magnetic divine powers seemed to hold great use; perhaps they could serve as a direction for development, with the scholars of the Heavenly Sage Academy conducting dedicated research and development.
Perhaps they could even create a magnificent system of divine powers!
The Angler shot him a glance, doubtful at heart. "This Shen boy seems to drift off often. Even with a pretty girl at his side, he keeps wandering off to think of other things.
" Shen Mu took out his little notebook, wrote down his idea with a brush, then solemnly blew the ink dry, thinking, "When I return, I will ask Granny Zhu to lead those scholars in making primordial magnetic divine powers their main focus! " Yan Jingjing watched his earnest manner and found him quite dashing. "This girl is beyond saving too.
" The female fish in the basket shook her head.
"Dizzy and turned about by a silly boy.
" Shen Mu looked down and saw that Taihuang Heaven's original waves of magma had frozen, forming wave-like mountain ranges, magnificent beyond measure.
