If I teach you myself, in three months your cultivation and strength will advance by leaps and bounds! " Feng Huayu was both startled and delighted, and hurried after him into the Great Black Palace. "Send someone to invite Khan Luandi here! " Great Black Heaven said in a low voice, "Khan Luandi once surrendered to Jingping and learned the fruits of the Jingping reforms.
When he passes on to you the fruits of the Jingping reforms, then you may contend with the Jingping Overlord Body!
Luandi is now my disciple, and his strength is no small thing; he will surely be able to take you one step further after you have learned my art!
" The Jiangling Academy. Shen Mu had been studying within the academy all this while, learning the fruits of the reforms of the Jiangling Academy in this period, and he studied with great diligence and labor. Unknowingly a month passed, and Shen Mu had finished his studies. He was sparring with the Duke of Wei when of a sudden his heart was moved; he stopped his hand and said with a smile, "Someone in the Northern Heavens has taken up my challenge missive. Heavenly King Wei, I shall go and keep the appointment.
" The Duke of Wei's heart jumped, and he said in alarm, "Hierarch, the Northern Heavens are an enemy power, and Great Black Heaven is the very ancestor of the demonic path; even the Martial Heavenly Master is no match for him!
On this journey, how many masters does the Hierarch need?
" Shen Mu said with a smile, "Dragon Qilin will suffice. " The Duke of Wei stared with wide eyes, greatly alarmed: "How can you take only that great lump? Hierarch, wait a few days, and I will ask the disciples of the sect to seek out the four Heavenly Masters and the four Heavenly Kings to escort and guard you! " Shen Mu shook his head and laughed: "The Jingping Overlord Body — what need has he of Kaihuang's Heavenly Masters and Heavenly Kings as guards?
Would that not cheapen the name of Jingping?
Look after my sworn brother first, and see that he studies well.
I am off! " So saying, he ordered Yan'er to stay behind and attend to the daily needs of Yutian Zun, and called Dragon Qilin to him, and headed north. The Duke of Wei was uneasy at heart; he straightway took out a mirror and contacted Si Yunxiang, saying, "The Hierarch has gone to the Northern Heavens to keep his appointment.
Quickly ask Kaihuang's four Heavenly Kings and four Heavenly Masters to go to the Northern Heavens! " Dragon Qilin hurried north, while Shen Mu hid in the mirror and went on studying those ancient divine runes and Great Dao imprints that the Dao Ancestor had passed to him in the Shoucang Pavilion. Unknowingly more than two months passed, and they came to the north of the Yuan World; there they saw the lights of many colors stirring faintly in the sky, the strange signs wrought by the Northern Heavens hanging above the Yuan World.
Dragon Qilin went on, and on this day of a sudden a mountain ten thousand zhang tall rumbled and shook and became a mountain god of a man, who cried out in question, his voice rolling like thunder: "Are you Shen Mu of Jingping, Shen the Overlord Body?
" Dragon Qilin halted and said, "Hierarch, a mountain god is calling you. " Shen Mu crawled out of the mirror, looked up, bowed in salute, and said with a smile, "I am indeed Shen Mu of Jingping.
" The mountain god returned the salute and said in a rumbling voice, "Jingping Overlord Body, Great Black Heaven has given the order: the Overlord Body need not visit the various Northern Heavens, but may go straight to the Great Black Palace. The strong ones of the Northern Heavens await your honored arrival at the Great Black Palace! " He raised his arm and pointed toward the Great Black Palace: "The Overlord Body goes that way! " Shen Mu nodded lightly: "My thanks.
Fat Dragon, change our course for the Great Black Palace. " Dragon Qilin hurriedly changed direction.
