Chapter 810 — The Supreme One Comprehends the Great Dao
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 4
Shen Mu smiled. "You did very well. Do you have any thoughts about a cultivation method for the Spirit Embryo realm?"
"I have read a great many books in the Tower of Heavenly Records," said Heavenly Venerable Yu. "Can I learn the methods there?"
Shen Mu shook his head. "You must comprehend a method of your own."
"Does everyone comprehend their own method for themselves?" Heavenly Venerable Yu asked curiously.
"We are not like other people."
Shen Mu's face turned grave and his voice deepened. "We are Overlord Bodies! Remember that. Every Overlord Body is different from every other. A true Overlord Body must create his own cultivation methods, his own divine arts! If you fall short of others, it is because you have not tried hard enough!"
Heavenly Venerable Yu grew solemn and bowed his head in assent.
Shen Mu rose. "Think hard about your own method. I have an Other Shore Divine Treasury to create!"
Heavenly Venerable Yu went back to his meditation. Before long he raised his head in a daze and turned to look behind him. Where Shen Mu sat, wind suddenly rolled and clouds surged; a huge vortex took shape in the sky and spun madly, while below the ground darkness spread outward, taking the room where Shen Mu sat as its center.
That darkness was churning too, as though the earth did not exist at all!
Crack.
Suddenly thunder was born in the sky and thunder welled up from beneath the ground, and all of it came crashing down upon the room where Shen Mu was. The lightning fell like rain and smashed the house to powder!
The sight was terrifying; it looked as though a great demon king had been born into the world and heaven itself had sent down its punishment.
"Brother is indeed Brother."
Heavenly Venerable Yu turned back and went on comprehending his own method, thinking, "The power of heaven and earth he summons is far, far greater than mine. I wonder whether he has called on his own power as well?"
At the center of the lightning, Shen Mu had already used his own power to summon the power of heaven and earth, and with the strength of both heaven and earth and himself he was shaping the Other Shore Ark within the Life-and-Death Divine Treasury. A grand and imposing ship was gradually taking form in the dark Nether Capital.
Strange demonic creatures swam through the dark Life-and-Death Divine Treasury, now far, now near; clearly his opening of a seventh divine treasury here had raised too great a commotion and drawn the notice of the monsters of the Nether Capital.
But the monsters of the Nether Capital could not enter the Life-and-Death Divine Treasury of a living man, and could only watch from afar.
After a while, lamplight suddenly shone out, and a paper boat drifted softly up to this place. The old underworld courier aboard raised his storm lantern and shone it upon Shen Mu's Life-and-Death Divine Treasury. When he saw Shen Mu he was taken aback. "Heavenly Venerable Mu, it's you again. I was wondering what demon or monster dared to stir up waves here. Don't do anything reckless... What are you doing?"
He suddenly went dull-eyed. Looking at the Other Shore Ark taking shape, he understood in a flash, and his voice caught in his throat. "You're opening an eighth divine treasury?"
Shen Mu's voice came down from above. "The seventh! Heavenly Venerable You, wait a moment!"
The old courier looked up and saw Shen Mu's primal spirit standing beneath the Jianmu Tree, above the Six Harmonies Continent, treading the Dipper and working his art.
He waited quietly, and after a long while the Other Shore Divine Treasury was at last completely formed.
Shen Mu's primal spirit staggered, somewhat weakened, and only after a moment did he speak. "I asked the Heavenly Master of Martial Combat to destroy my Heavenly Bridge Divine Treasury, so I must open another seventh treasury. Was Heavenly Venerable You passing this way?"
