And Tiandou will become my means to deal with the greatest Evil ghost of the Tianyin Realm.
" Shen Mu could see that Lady Tianyin had formerly been inexperienced in the ways of the world, managing only the Tianyin Realm; she might have paid little heed to schemes and intrigues, or perhaps had little contact with them. Now, however, Lady Tianyin understood how to employ methods, which set his mind somewhat at ease. The resurrected Lady Tianyin should not be so easily defeated by the Black Emperor of the Nether Capital. He jumped down from Lady Tianyin's hand and came to the ruined palaces, selecting a few still relatively intact Nether Capital divine weapons and putting them away; he also took the Heaven-Mourning Bell. "Great Dharma Master, you should go now. " Lady Tianyin toyed with the hourglass.
"I sense the Yin Son of Heaven through Tiandou. He will soon try to come here. When he plotted against me, his strength was already not weak; now he should have risen another level.
If you stay here, I cannot protect you.
" Shen Mu felt a chill in his heart and looked up.
"Do you have the ability to match him, Lady? " Lady Tianyin said, "My physical body is currently unstable, so it is hard for me to match him, but I still have the ability to block him. I will block him outside the Tianyin Realm, so that he cannot enter.
As long as he cannot enter, my life is not in danger.
However, he will certainly control the Evil ghosts of the Tianyin Realm to attack me. When that time comes, the Tianyin Realm will be in turmoil. If you stay, you will certainly be unable to preserve yourselves. " Shen Mu nodded and said solemnly, "Take care, Lady!
" He was about to leave with the Divine Man of Kaihuang when he suddenly remembered something and stopped.
"Lady, just now, in order to save you, I was attacked by the Evil ghost you had become, and my sword core was damaged. Now I have no weapon to use. I wonder, when you refined the pagoda, was there any leftover scrap of Tianyin Gold? Could you spare me some? " Lady Tianyin lightly scooped toward the seafloor; the seawater flowed away, and in her palm appeared much sea sand glinting with blue light. "This is Tianyin Gold," she said.
"Do you have anything to carry it in?
" Her palm spanned several hundred mu, and the Tianyin Gold in it was like a blue desert. Shen Mu's heart pounded; he inwardly praised her generosity and took out his Taotie Pouch. "My Taotie Pouch is filled with Buddha-Origin Crimson Chrome and Feather Buddha-Mother Trees, but there are still some gaps that can be stuffed with sand. " "Your two pouches are too small. I fear they will not hold much.
" Lady Tianyin shook her head and had him jump into her palm to fill it himself. Shen Mu immediately activated the Taotie Pouch and collected the Tianyin Gold into it, soon filling the pouch. More than half of the Tianyin Gold in Lady Tianyin's palm remained uncollected.
Shen Mu inwardly sighed in regret.
He laboriously lifted the two Taotie Pouches, intending to tie them at his waist, but nearly broke his belt; he had to carry them with both hands. "Melting Tianyin Gold must have its particular requirements. What fire did you use when refining the treasure, Lady?
" Shen Mu asked, looking up.
"Heavenly Fire, stolen from Lord Heaven of the Mystic Capital. " Lady Tianyin turned over her other hand, and a mass of flame appeared in her palm. "I stole this from Lord Heaven when he was not paying attention," she said.
"It is of no use to me now.
I will give it to you. " Shen Mu looked at the flame in her palm.
As it burned, it seemed like a crystal with edges and angles, but it was far too large—simply a sea of fire composed of crystals! "Lady, I cannot take so much.
" Shen Mu said sheepishly, "I have nowhere to put it.
. . " Lady Tianyin lightly broke off a piece of the crystal-like Heavenly Fire with two fingers and handed it to him.
"Hold this for now. This Heavenly Fire has a terrifying name, but it is not hot.
