The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 4
" Surprised, Di Yiyue stirred her mystic art and wiped away the residue of the divine ability left in the wound by the Yin Son of Heaven. Curious, she said, "I am of the Emperor Throne realm; you are of the Heaven-Man realm.
What means do you have to heal the wound of an Emperor Throne? " Shen Mu shook himself and manifested three heads and six arms, and with a lift of his hand a flash of sword light sliced off his own left head.
Di Yiyue jumped in fright.
Shen Mu, holding his own left head, smiled.
"Look, big sister. " His neck swayed, and another head grew out!
Di Yiyue's eyes went wide and she cried out despite herself, "There is such an art as this? " She could see that Shen Mu had not only cut off the head of his flesh, but even the head of his primordial spirit!
And after Shen Mu worked his art, not only did the head of his flesh grow back, the head of his primordial spirit grew back as well!
Such an art, such a divine ability, she had never heard of.
Chixi gave a cold snort, deeply displeased at heart. What Shen Mu had displayed was the Bright Emperor's Flawless Creation Mystic Art and the Crimson Emperor's Indestructible Divine Consciousness of the Three Primordial Spirits, and only by perfectly combining these two arts could he produce an indestructible body and an indestructible primordial spirit! An indestructible body was the perfect art even the Crimson Bright Divine Son dreamed of, yet before the Crimson Bright Divine Son had comprehended it, Shen Mu had already beaten him to it, achieving an indestructible body and an indestructible primordial spirit.
Of course, that Shen Mu could reach such a step was not something they could envy their way into. The Crimson Bright Divine Son had taught Shen Mu the Bright Emperor's Flawless Creation Mystic Art, and the Crimson Emperor's own mind had transmitted directly to him all that pertained to the Indestructible Divine Consciousness of the Three Primordial Spirits, so that Shen Mu attained a mastery of indestructible divine consciousness comparable to the Crimson Emperor's own! With such mastery, comprehending the Flawless Creation Mystic Art came twice as easily; thus Shen Mu's mastery of these two Emperor Throne arts far surpassed the Crimson Bright Divine Son's, and he held an unmatched advantage.
Though the Crimson Bright Divine Son had also been given the Crimson Emperor's art to pass on, he could never attain the Crimson Emperor's mastery, so that to this day he had failed to achieve an indestructible body and an indestructible primordial spirit, and instead Shen Mu, an outsider, had done it before him.
The Woodcutter Sage smiled. He knew Shen Mu inside and out, and so of course he knew how terrifying Shen Mu's mastery of the art of creation truly was. Shen Mu himself did not know how powerful he was; the Woodcutter knew it perfectly well.
Having received the legacies of two Emperor Thrones, the Crimson Emperor and the Bright Emperor, Shen Mu could well be called the strongest in the art of creation, bar none! From the Crimson Bright Void Realm Shen Mu had brought the two Emperor Throne arts, both concerning the art of creation, and without the least reservation he had taught them to the great academies of Jingping. Tens of thousands of Jingping scholars and powerhouses labored over the profound mysteries of these arts, and among them were talents of overflowing genius and outstanding ability who comprehended countless subtle principles from the two Emperor Throne arts.
Yet apart from the Woodcutter, almost no one knew that Shen Mu had long since set foot upon the summit of all mountains. Shen Mu dismissed his three heads and six arms and smiled. "Your wound would be very difficult for others to heal, big sister, but for me it is not so difficult. Have you studied the art of creation?
" Di Yiyue shook her head. "Some rough study, but my mastery is shallow, not comparable to the Great Celestial Master's.
