This meant that Fire Heavenly Venerable was altering the runes that guarded his body!
In other words, Fire Heavenly Venerable had not died here. Shen Mu made a rough calculation: judging by the speed at which Fire Heavenly Venerable's runes were being substituted and circulated, if he wished to complete a single divine ability, he would need at the very least two hundred and fifty-six years!
"Fire Heavenly Venerable is flying toward the Tai Emperor's brow—could it be that something there is drawing him?
" At this thought, Shen Mu immediately stirred up all his divine consciousness, activated the Primordial Stone, and channeled all his primordial qi and divine consciousness into the Three Enclosures Supreme Consciousness.
Boom! His third eye blazed ever brighter, and the Sacred Eye penetrated nearly everything—he could even see every single flame rune on Fire Heavenly Venerable's body with perfect clarity! He looked into the cavity in the Tai Emperor Juyushi's brow.
There was no Primordial Stone, only a diamond-shaped wound, from which billowing light-flames poured forth. The light-flames were intensely thick, and through them he could dimly make out a figure seated within the Tai Emperor Juyushi's brow!
Shen Mu's heart stirred, and abruptly his primordial qi swept up the point of light that was Shu Jun.
Shu Jun's heart gave a start, and in the next instant he was stuffed into the third eye, back on the altar within the Primordial Stone.
"Shu Jun, lend me all your divine consciousness, and let me see who the person in the Tai Emperor's brow truly is! " As Shen Mu's voice arrived, Shu Jun's heart shook violently, and he blurted out: "There is a person in the Tai Emperor's brow?
" He immediately marshaled his divine consciousness and lent it to Shen Mu.
Shen Mu's divine consciousness swelled enormously, the might of his third eye rose yet again, and his vision turned into a pillar of light that shot ten thousand li, shining upon the Tai Emperor Juyushi's brow.
That gaze pierced layer upon layer of dense light-flames, going ever deeper, until gradually it arrived before that figure.
"Shu Jun, lend me still more divine consciousness! " Sensing that his strength was nearly spent, Shen Mu shouted hastily.
Shu Jun hesitated a moment. The divine consciousness he had lent Shen Mu was indeed not his full strength—after all, he did not trust Shen Mu, and so had held a hand back.
"Lend it to me, and I will help you restore one ear!
" Shen Mu's voice came. Shu Jun gave a cold snort: "I want two ears!
" "Fine!
" Shen Mu said without hesitation.
Seeing how readily he agreed, Shu Jun could not help feeling regret: "If I had also asked for a tongue, the brat would probably have agreed as well. . .
" Even so, he stirred up his remaining divine consciousness and lent it to Shen Mu.
The gaze of Shen Mu's third eye grew ever more intense, broke through the last layer of light-flames, and fell upon the figure seated motionless in the Tai Emperor's brow.
Suddenly, Shen Mu's mind was shaken to its core, and his gaze scattered at once, involuntarily withdrawing. A rolling torrent of divine consciousness and primordial qi crashed into his brain, dazing him into muddled confusion, his vital qi and blood surging without rest.
Shu Jun hastily withdrew his own divine consciousness: "You little brat, you promised to restore my two ears—you must not go back on your word!
By the way, what did you see?
" Shen Mu steadied himself and murmured: "Cloud Heavenly Venerable.
. .
I saw Cloud Heavenly Venerable!
" Shu Jun did not know who Cloud Heavenly Venerable was, yet in Shen Mu's heart a monstrous wave was rising.
The motionless seated figure he had seen in the Tai Emperor Juyushi's brow was none other than Cloud Heavenly Venerable—there could not be the slightest mistake!
