Chapter 709 — An Ageless Friendship with the Old Man of the Netherworld
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
He smiled. "Third Brother, sober now? Rest assured, we only swore brotherhood while drunk. We didn't do anything excessive. " Qi Jiuyi's expression stiffened.
He stammered, "I'm the Third Brother?
" Long Qilin got up and shook his head. "You're a hundred and ten years younger than me, so of course you're the Third Brother. We swore an oath to Tubo that we would die on the same year, same month, same day.
.
. " "An oath to Tubo?
" Qi Jiuyi's eyes were filled with terror and blankness. He was at a loss. "Drinking really causes such trouble. . . " Shen Mu walked along the corridor, examining room after room. "It's not the drinking that causes trouble—it's that the wine intoxicates without the drinker being drunk. The fine wine here is actually something manifested from the spirit. That's why you can never drink it all. The Left Junior Assistant of the Outer Heaven Court, Yan Shaoqing, must be an existence with extraordinarily powerful spiritual divine abilities. He transformed these fine wines from his powerful spiritual divine abilities.
You are in primordial spirit form. When a primordial spirit drinks, it is drinking his spiritual divine abilities. His divine abilities give you the sensation of being drunk.
" Long Qilin, Tian Shu, and Qi Jiuyi followed him.
Long Qilin asked curiously, "There's such a divine ability? So we've been drinking air all along? " "Not exactly air—it's Yan Shaoqing's spiritual manifestation. " Shen Mu opened a door, peeked inside, and took out a jar of fine wine. A fierce spiritual impact surged from his primordial spirit.
His spirit actually made the jar of wine grow fainter and fainter, until finally the jar of wine vanished before their eyes. "This is me using my own spirit to erode Yan Shaoqing's spirit. Of course, he is very powerful and has conjured countless jars of fine wine. My spirit is not yet enough to completely dispel the illusion he created. Every time you drink, it is equivalent to one spiritual attack from him. That is why you feel drunk. " Shen Mu calculated the rooms.
Suddenly his eyes lit up. He laughed.
"This is the time, this is the place! " The others were puzzled. Shen Mu suddenly pushed the door open.
A burst of light erupted from behind it, making everyone involuntarily raise their hands to shield their eyes. Shen Mu stepped into the room. Long Qilin hurried in after him. Tian Shu and Qi Jiuyi also rushed across the threshold.
When their vision recovered, they could not help exclaiming in wonder. This was not a room at all, but a strange, staggered structure of space formed by various runes. Different runes constructed different spatial fragments, and these fragments interlocked like gears. Tian Shu murmured, "I've opened every room here. Why have I never seen this one before?
" Only then did he notice that Shen Mu, walking ahead, had become a paper-thin figure! Shen Mu was like a sheet of paper with no thickness, walking ahead of them!
Tian Shu shook his head and suddenly realized he could see his own backside! He too had become a paper-thin figure!
Long Qilin and Qi Jiuyi were no different! They were all primordial spirits.
A primordial spirit was at least three-dimensional. Yet upon entering this room, they had been stripped of thickness by this strange space.
"This room has always existed, but it is the flaw of Emperor Shakra Heaven King Buddha.
Moreover, the room is constantly wandering and changing.
Even if you opened all the doors at once, you might not find it. " Shen Mu's mouth appeared on the back of his head, making Long Qilin, Tian Shu, and Qi Jiuyi shudder. The mouth on the back of Shen Mu's head opened and closed. "You must calculate the exact time and the exact room, then open the door, to find this place.
