Chapter 910 — The Old Dynasty's Overlord Body, the Long Han Heavenly Venerable
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 5
Long Qilin hastily stopped, and his vital essence lifted the sleeping Shen Mu and set him on the ground. He saw that in the dream world surrounding Shen Mu there were mountains and seas of corpses; countless diminutive Shen Mus had died, a scene of utter carnage. The other little Shen Mus cheered and leaped, tossing one little fellow high into the air. That diminutive Shen Mu wore a proud expression on his face, allowing the countless selves below to toss him up, clearly exceedingly pleased with himself. Suddenly all the diminutive Shen Mus panicked and fled in all directions, and no one caught the diminutive Shen Mu who had made the achievement. He fell to the ground with a plop and stood up in fury, "Jiji gugu!" Those fleeing tiny Shen Mus darted about like headless flies, wailing and crying, and suddenly vanished one by one. The little Shen Mu who had made the achievement also panicked and darted about, then suddenly threw himself against the barrier of the dream world, pounding on it with both hands and weeping, begging Yan'er outside to save him. Yan'er could not bear it and was just about to rescue him when the dream world burst with a pop, and all the tiny Shen Mus vanished completely.
Shen Mu opened his eyes, sat up, stretched his body, and said with a smile, "I wake from this sleep having passed through immeasurable kalpas, and at last my technique is complete."
Yan'er was still mourning that diminutive Shen Mu in the dream world, deeply grieved, and was quite displeased with Shen Mu. "The moment you woke, all those poor little things died. Don't expect me to feed you again!"
Shen Mu activated his new technique. There was no longer any fear of qi deviation, his vital essence flowed with incomparable smoothness, and his soul, born not long ago, was constantly growing and strengthening. He was very happy in his heart.
Seeing him in such good spirits, Long Qilin asked, "Cult Master, can your method be taught to others?"
Shen Mu shook his head. "Too difficult. Having reached this step, the path I walk is only the one best suited to me. To learn my technique, one would first need to cultivate to the Heaven River realm and have some study of the Unchanging Divine Art. One would also need mastery of divination and creation, and moreover learn the Sutra of Immeasurable Kalpas of the Buddha Great Brahma Heavenly King, and possess outstanding attainments in martial dao and sword dao. In short, others cannot learn it."
Long Qilin inwardly sighed in regret.
"However, the method created by the Imperial Heavenly Venerable is more suited to the masses." Shen Mu said, "It is only that its demands on comprehension are also quite high, and spreading it would not be easy. Have we reached the Surging River?"
Long Qilin said, "The Surging River Academy is just ahead."
They arrived at the Surging River Academy, and saw that it had long since been occupied by the celestial deities of the Heavenly Court. Great construction was underway, luxurious palaces being built. Many dragon gods and river deities had been seized and made into slaves, laboring bitterly. They had already forged a resplendent divine city here. This divine city was extremely vast, and when Shen Mu arrived, the slaves were using their own blood to brand formation arrays onto the surface of the divine city. Palaces within the city had already flown into the sky under the formation arrays' empowerment. These divine palaces and divine halls were tethered by chains, otherwise they would fly beyond the heavens. Only when the entire great city took flight would the divine city become stable, floating in the air and becoming a great instrument of the Heavenly Court's rule over this place. The Surging River was the Heaven River; rich in resources, it was extremely important to the Yuan Realm. And since the Ancient God Heavenly Emperor ruled the Yuan Realm, he naturally attached great importance to the Surging River and had to station heavy troops here.
