Chapter 740 — The Realm of Utmost Yin
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 1 of 4
Hu Bugui had no idea at all what the two of them were talking about; he could only feel that his cultivation was still rising, and with every breath he drew he felt vast, surging power growing within him. In that brief span his cultivation and strength had undergone an earth-shaking change; now, if he wished to send his primordial spirit soaring up to the Heavenly Palace, it would likely be an easy matter.
Who could have imagined that he would become the first person in the world to ascend to the Heavenly Palace with a single divine treasury? He soon ran into the first problem after his great breakthrough, and asked hurriedly, "Heavenly Master, how does one cultivate the Divine Bridge realm?
" The old farmer's face flushed red, and he could not speak.
He had no Divine Bridge either, had never possessed such a realm, and so naturally did not know how to cultivate it; but he was proud by nature, and could not bring himself to admit before a junior that he did not know. After a moment, the old farmer mumbled, "This.
.
. you should go and ask Shen Mu and Xu Shenghua and the like.
.
.
" Hu Bugui looked toward Shen Mu and Xu Shenghua, and saw that the two youths had put their heads together again, muttering and scribbling.
He walked over, but could not understand a word of what they were discussing. Shen Mu and Xu Shenghua had written down the Jianmu Innate Divine Bridge Formula they had just improved, each making a copy for himself, and in the course of writing many more ideas came to them: they felt that the realms of the Five Luminaries, the Six Harmonies, the Seven Stars, Heaven-Man, Life-and-Death, and the Divine Bridge could all be cultivated with the Jianmu Innate Divine Bridge. But the Jianmu saplings needed to be of different sizes, and so the art required still more refinement. Basically, the Jianmu Innate Divine Bridge of each realm differed from that of every other realm.
And the higher the realm, the more perilous the cultivation.
At the Life-and-Death realm, it took a body and primordial spirit as powerful as Hu Bugui's to withstand it.
At the Divine Bridge realm, to cultivate the Jianmu Innate Divine Bridge was all but impossible.
"I have an idea that might solve this problem!
" A possibility suddenly struck Shen Mu, and his eyes lit up.
"Palace Master Xiong Xiyu of the True Heaven Palace in the Western Lands practices the Myriad Gods Natural Art, which can make all things sentient and all things divine; her control of vital essence has reached the state where the wondrous Dao returns to the true.
If she could fuse her method of governing true essence into the Jianmu Divine Bridge and hold the pressure in check, then the odds of survival for a Divine Bridge realm adept would rise greatly. " Xu Shenghua's eyes lit up as well, and he laughed. "My High Heaven Academy is a neighbor of the True Heaven Palace, so we can go and consult her! " Once the two of them threw themselves into their research, they had no thought for anything else and paid no heed to the world outside; by the time they had sorted out the Jianmu Innate Divine Bridge Formula for every realm, more than ten days had passed. High Heaven Academy had already been completed: palace halls piled one upon another, row upon row, long corridors spanning the air.
The girls of the Western Lands had a keen eye of their own for beauty, and they had adorned the academy until it was full of poetic charm. The sheets of paper Shen Mu and Xu Shenghua had copied out were piled up like a mountain; the art for each realm was a hefty volume, and many details remained unresolved.
"Brother Xu, were you not going to build High Heaven Academy? Then let the scholars of High Heaven Academy patch up the arts for these realms; it will be a trial for them as well.
" Shen Mu stretched lazily and said with a smile, "I promised Sister Di Yiyue that I would accompany her to see Lady Tianyin, so it is time I went. " Xu Shenghua was somewhat reluctant to see him go.
