Shen Mu's gaze fell on Lian Huahun. She had returned to her former self, and bowed gracefully, her voice pleasant and melodious: "The situation was desperate just now, and I had no choice but to offend the Heavenly Venerable. I beg the Heavenly Venerable's forgiveness."
"It was indeed chaos just now. There is no need for you to blame yourself, little sister."
Shen Mu smiled warmly: "Your cultivation art and divine ability are most exquisite. Might you tell me something of their workings?"
Lian Huahun said: "I am a disciple of Heavenly Venerable Hao. I cultivated eighteen kinds of Imperial Throne cultivation arts, and by mastering them all and fusing them together, I created a divine art suited to myself."
Shen Mu was moved: "Eighteen kinds of Imperial Throne cultivation arts? You are truly remarkable, little sister!"
Yun Chuxiu walked over and said with a smile: "Fusing eighteen kinds of Imperial Throne cultivation arts already qualifies as a Great Heavenly Court cultivation art. Sister Lian, you are truly remarkable — one might call you a young Heavenly Venerable. If you cultivate to the Imperial Throne realm, you will have eighteen heavenly palaces, and your cultivation will run more than ten times deeper than other Imperial Throne powerhouses!"
Lian Huahun smiled: "Sister Yun is no less remarkable — not a whit inferior to a young Heavenly Venerable. Which Heavenly Venerable's disciple are you, Sister Yun?"
Yun Chuxiu took Shen Mu's arm and said with a coy smile: "Why, Heavenly Venerable Mu's, of course! I was trained by Heavenly Venerable Mu's own hand."
Shen Mu's head ached. The two women stared at each other, words laden with hidden meaning, each wanting to know which Heavenly Venerable the other had been reincarnated as, and so probing for hints.
The Ten Heavenly Venerables seemed to know one another well, yet among them all was a murky pool. The Ancient God Heavenly Emperor was among the Ten Heavenly Venerables; the Empress and Lady Yuanmu were among them as well — but which Heavenly Venerables they truly were, no one could say clearly.
"These two women both deserve a good hard spanking!" Shen Mu thought to himself.
The tower ship sailed on into the depths of the Great Void. Before long it passed through the halo and entered a starry sky, where stars upon stars formed a tranquil river of stars.
The tower ship sailed beneath the river of stars; one could reach up and touch those tiny stars, fine as dust.
"This must be the Great Void, then?" one person asked, raising a hand to touch the stars.
"Do not touch them!"
Luo Wushuang hastily stopped him: "That is a divine ability! An imagined divine ability — if you touch it, it will erupt!"
Everyone's heart skipped. They hurriedly steered the tower ship farther from that river of stars.
Shen Mu studied the river of stars, and his heart stirred: "This divine ability... it is Eldest Senior Brother Wei Suifeng's divine ability! He has been here? Is there any place my eldest senior brother has not been? Wait — can the Great Void not only manifest heart-demons? How did Eldest Senior Brother use the Great Void to manifest a divine ability?"
