Chapter 930 — A Reunion Like First Love
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 4
His heart pounded as in first love, and his face flushed red.
Shen Mu glanced at him and coughed once.
To Qi Jiuyi's ears the cough was a thunderbolt from a clear sky, shattering his tender feelings to pieces.
Qi Jiuyi was startled: "The first time I see this woman, and she has already affected my Dao heart!
She is too beautiful, and she does not know restraint. " Shen Mu said with a smile: "Sister Chuxiu and Brother Jianli make a fine couple; it is a pity you became brother and sister.
" Yun Chuxiu's face reddened slightly, with a maiden's shyness, and she stole a glance at Yun Jianli.
Yun Jianli said gravely: "Your Heavenly Venerate jests.
A dying man—how would he dare delay sister Chuxiu? I already have a family, and a son.
Is Your Heavenly Venerate married? " Shen Mu's breath was weak, but he roused his spirits and laughed heartily: "Brother Jianli, I too am a dying man. If you do not mind, you may address me as Cult Master Shen, as Brother Qi does, and need not call me Heavenly Venerate.
To tell you the truth, I only recently turned thirty-three.
" Yun Chuxiu was surprised, and covered her mouth as she laughed: "Your Heavenly Venerate is even a few years younger than I.
" Seeing her bearing, Qi Jiuyi again seemed to hear a lovely, moving song at his ear, and the imagined scenes of conjugal bliss appeared once more. Shen Mu coughed once to wake him. Qi Jiuyi's forehead broke out in cold sweat: "It is over!
My Dao heart is finished! Though Si Youyou of the Yuan Realm is beautiful as well, Si Youyou never seduces others, whereas this woman has made beauty and charm into weapons! " Shen Mu looked at Yun Jianli and said: "I have heard that when the Yun family cultivates to the Divine Bridge realm and tries to step into the divine realm, they suddenly drop dead.
Heavenly Venerate Yun was the Heavenly Venerate who opened up the Divine Bridge divine treasury—why should his descendants suffer such a fate? " Yun Jianli said gloomily: "That I do not know either. Every generation of the Yun family has engaged countless famous physicians and divine men to examine the affliction, yet none could discover its cause.
In truth, I reached the Divine Bridge realm five years ago, and to this day I dare not take the final step.
" Shen Mu's curiosity was roused, and he said: "I am fairly well versed in the healing arts. Could you open your divine treasuries and let me look?
" Yun Jianli, open and unguarded, opened his divine treasuries.
Shen Mu looked closely and saw that each of Yun Jianli's divine treasuries was quite normal; the Divine Bridge divine treasury was vaster than others', but beyond that there was nothing unusual. Shen Mu's gaze fell upon his primordial spirit.
Yun Jianli's primordial spirit was exceedingly powerful, standing upon the Divine Bridge with a graceful, soaring radiance.
Shen Mu examined it closely, but could find no problem.
His gaze grew ever deeper as he looked toward Yun Jianli's heavenly palace. Weng.
Suddenly flames blazed at the back of Shen Mu's head, forming a wheel of fire, and within the wheel was a great fiery eye that stared straight into the deepest recesses of Yun Jianli's heavenly palace!
Yun Jianli was startled; the wheel of fire behind Shen Mu's head felt to him like the blessing of an Ancient God, yet somehow different.
"Worthy of a Heavenly Venerate—even I cannot comprehend such divine ability.
" He could not help but feel respect: "Heavenly Venerate Mu is thirty-three, and to have such achievements at so young an age is truly terrifying.
" After a moment, the wheel of fire behind Shen Mu gradually faded. The third eye at his brow slowly opened, continuing to observe where exactly Yun Jianli's problem lay.
