When the giant saw that pupil, it at once withdrew its palm and looked him up and down. A wave of incomparably powerful divine consciousness passed into Shen Mu's mind: "Whose child are you? How old are you?
Why have you come here? " Shen Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and the gooseflesh at the back of his neck subsided. His divine consciousness rippled as he communicated with the Creator: "I am almost two years old. I wandered here by accident, and seeing three houses here, I came over to look.
Senior, to which clan do you belong? " "I am Xiuzhong of the Xiu clan. I sensed a disturbance here, and so I came to investigate.
" The Creator Xiuzhong's divine consciousness rippled as he praised him: "Your divine consciousness is far from weak.
To have such attainment before the age of two, stronger even than the cultivation of grown men. Who is your master?
" "My teacher is Shujun," Shen Mu said honestly.
Within the Primordial Stone in his third eye, Shujun's great head was smug with delight, his two eyes bouncing this way and that in their sockets, and he chuckled: "You little brat, calling me your teacher, taking advantage of me — but I won't hold it against you. Heh heh, you have spoken my name aloud; this Xiuzhong will likely be so frightened he soils himself and kowtows again and again! I am one of the Three Kings of the Primordial Age! " "Shujun? " All three of the Creator Xiuzhong's eyes showed bewilderment.
His third eye was a Primordial Divine Stone, yet like a true eye it could reveal every kind of emotion.
He shook his head: "I have never heard of him. But your divine consciousness is very strong, so he is most likely no nameless figure. This place is very dangerous; villains often prowl here. Come with me, and I will take you to a place of safety. " He stretched out his palm and laid it flat above the waterfall, gesturing for Shen Mu to jump up.
Shen Mu hesitated a moment, somewhat unwilling in his heart.
But at a single stir of the Creator Xiuzhong's divine consciousness, he rose into the air against his will and landed in the giant's palm, and his heart could not help but be appalled.
Xiuzhong's divine consciousness was a thousand times stronger than his own; it brooked no resistance at all, binding him so tightly that even his vital essence could not stir! One must understand that although Shen Mu's present cultivation in divine consciousness was inferior to that of Yan Shaoqing, the Heavenly Court's foremost master of divine consciousness, its quality was higher.
Yet the Creator Xiuzhong's divine consciousness was a thousand times greater than his, and its quality was stronger than Shen Mu's as well. One could well imagine how terrifying this being's divine consciousness must be!
Xiuzhong was likely no ordinary Creator; most likely he was a figure of high rank among the Creators of the Great Void! "You are only two years old — how can you go running about everywhere?
That fellow called Shujun is utterly outrageous, not even fearing that you might be carried off by those monsters. The divine consciousness of those monsters is far stronger than yours.
" Light surged from the Primordial Divine Stone at Xiuzhong's brow, and a great treasure chariot appeared out of thin air.
He brought Shen Mu aboard, and nine giant dragons, each a hundred li long, drew the chariot up into the sky. "If you were to encounter those villains, you would be as good as dead.
" Xiuzhong waved his hand lightly, and the sun set; stars filled the heavens and became a silver river, and the nine dragons drew the chariot joyfully along the Milky Way as he said, "Those villains are utterly unreasonable, and their leader in particular — that bastard called Shen Ye — is savage by nature and insufferably arrogant. " Through Shen Mu's third eye, Shujun saw this scene outside the chariot, and his heart went cold.
He hurriedly sent a divine consciousness message: "You little brat surnamed Shen, you had better be careful!
