Chapter 741 — The Primordial Divine Palace
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
The most famous incident Old Ox remembered was that Kaihuang had once mentioned how, in his youth, he had disappeared here for several months, straying into an inconceivable place, and when he returned, he found that months had passed. He tried again to find that inconceivable place, but could never locate it.
Yet when others asked Kaihuang what he had encountered in that inconceivable place, what people he had met, Kaihuang said not a word, keeping it deeply secret. Later, many gods and demons came to the Yong River to search everywhere, but found nothing, and the matter gradually faded. The Yong River mist incident was forgotten by people, but after Kaihuang proclaimed himself emperor, he often came here—no one knew whether he was searching for that inconceivable place. Later, the Sage Woodcutter had led the Heaven Character Division here and conducted a thorough exploration of the Yong River, discovering many of its secrets, as well as many heavens submerged by history.
He also found the source of darkness and sent people in to investigate.
But by then it was already the late Kaihuang Era. Before the Sage Woodcutter could find any results, the Kaihuang Calamity erupted.
"Perhaps the Great Heavenly Master would know many secrets about the Yong River, but he certainly is not here now. " Old Ox's bovine eyes darted about, exceedingly cautious. He saw that each celestial palace was guarded by extremely powerful gods and demons, so he dared not act rashly. He thought to himself: "The problem now is, how can I return to the Wasteland?
" Just then, Shen Mu's voice came, somewhat surprised: "Senior Brother Sanduo, what is this place? How did you bring me here? " Old Ox blinked, opened his mouth to speak, but did not know what to say: "I.
. . " Shen Mu said excitedly: "Is this the Heavenly Court Beyond the Realm? " Old Ox hesitated, then said: "I also.
.
. " Shen Mu stretched his body.
His cultivation was still rising madly—clearly, after fusing the five great divine treasuries, his power had advanced by leaps and bounds. He looked around curiously, unable to contain his excitement: "Senior Brother Sanduo truly lives up to being the strongest under the Martial Heavenly Master—truly full of bullish spirit, daring to bring me to the Heavenly Court Beyond the Realm!
Did the Martial Heavenly Master assign you some secret mission? " Niu Sanduo looked at the water's surface, not knowing how to answer.
Shen Mu asked: "Have you thought of a way out? " "I. . .
" "I can forge a spirit-energy translocation bridge! " Shen Mu said excitedly: "But we must find a secluded place.
Last time I got a lot of divine gold and divine materials from the Indra Heavenly King Buddha—more than enough to build another spirit-energy translocation bridge. The Imperial Teacher of Jingping should still have an altar there; he is preparing for the campaign against the Tianyu World.
. . " "Junior Brother, I think I'm lost.
" Old Ox summoned his courage and said. "What mission did the Martial Heavenly Master give you?
Rescuing the Scholar Heavenly Master, right?
The Scholar Zixi must have been captured and suppressed by the Heavenly Court Beyond the Realm, right?
" Shen Mu said excitedly: "Wait a moment, I'll open the eye on my brow!
" "Junior Brother, I'm lost! " Old Ox could not help saying: "I really am lost! I don't know where this damned place is either! I don't recognize this place at all. Don't go messing around and cause trouble—let me sort out my thoughts first! " Shen Mu looked blank, then suspicious: "Everyone says an old ox knows the way.
How did you get here?
Just go back the way you came.
" Old Ox said in exasperation: "I don't know how I got here either!
I jumped down from the Yong River cliff, had just stepped onto the water's surface when mist rose, and when the mist cleared I somehow ended up here.
