Therefore they need to forge a powerful weapon—a weapon that can deal with the Lord of Heaven, the Earth Lord, and the rest. " "That weapon is the Heaven-Subduing Celestial Venerable! " Shen Mu halted, pondered a moment, and said, "That is why they created the Heaven-Subduing Celestial Venerable and piloted that body down to the mortal realm. They wanted to test whether the weapon worked well, whether it could compare to the Heavenly Emperor's body. " Long Qilin asked curiously, "Sect Master, is the person trapped inside the Heavenly Emperor's body still in the Heavenly Court? " Shen Mu shook his head. "Only his body is in the Heavenly Court—not his spirit-primordial.
He is trapped by Ling Tianzun and cannot free himself. To kill Ling Tianzun, how could he not pay a price? The Ancient God Heavenly Emperor needed no weapon—his body was the strongest weapon of all. But this person must use a spear as his weapon; he should be an elder of the Heavenly Alliance.
He paid a steep price, trapped in the Heavenly River, never able to escape, and he no longer has a foothold in the Heavenly Court. " His spirits lifted, and he continued laying out the teleportation formation; this time he made no more errors. Yan'er fed Long Qilin a spirit pill and praised him. "Fat Dragon, your Human-Rearing Scripture grows more formidable by the day. " Long Qilin ate the spirit pill and laughed.
"The Sect Master is too clever.
Sometimes he gets stuck in a dead end and cannot climb out. Actually, if he simply speaks it aloud, he climbs out on his own. It is just that these clever people seldom speak up on their own. I did nothing—I only let the Sect Master talk.
" Yan'er smiled and kept feeding Long Qilin. Once Shen Mu finished building the teleportation formation, he went to gather the divine gold.
The Empress Dowager's detached palace had been burned utterly clean; the divine gold had melted into molten metal, and after Yan'er withdrew her sacred fire, it congealed again. The divine gold used in the Empress Dowager's detached palace was a specialty of Guixu: Guixu abyssal iron spewed up from the Great Abyss, found only in Guixu. Shen Mu had Yan'er melt the abyssal iron once more, refining it into square, neat metal blocks, which he stacked together. "Young Master, we cannot carry this away. " Yan'er and Long Qilin gazed up at this mountain of abyssal iron, awe-struck. Yan'er shook her head. "Abyssal iron is too heavy—even I cannot lift it. " "No matter.
I have a place to store it.
" Shen Mu parted the willow leaf at his brow and tossed the Guixu abyssal iron piece by piece into the Shen-Character Continent. In the Shen-Character Continent, abyssal iron fell like rain, piling into a great mountain.
The Lord of Heaven, the Crimson Emperor, Old Buddha, and the others stood dark-faced around the crystal coffin, letting the abyssal iron land around them. The Molten Earth Lord's face did not darken—his face was already mottled black and red. "Outrageous! This is where his brother is sealed—how can you throw just anything in here? " said the Molten Earth Lord.
Having finished dealing with the Guixu abyssal iron, Shen Mu jumped up and down, felt no weight at all, and laughed.
"From now on I can even do without the Taotie Pouch! " He drew the Carefree Sword and looked up at the sky, where the remnant stars were very close to Guixu. The Lord of Heaven and the others also saw the broken stars above Guixu, and exchanged glances.
"What is that boy up to now? " Everyone was at a loss. The big chubby baby sat in the Life-Slaying Cauldron eating, and at these words looked up. He laughed.
"Wicked little brother means to push the stars down, smash them into Guixu, and lure out those two flowers.
" The Lord of Heaven said hastily, "Know your brother best—what does your wicked little brother want to lure out those two Guixu flowers for? " "Cut them off with a sword and carry them away," said Shen Fengqing.
