"The Creators of the Other Shore have taken up the divine treasure and heavenly palace system of cultivation!"
A profound sense of absurdity rose in his heart. These Creators, who had escaped death by a hairsbreadth to flee here, had actually cultivated the divine treasure system and the heavenly palace system that the human race had pioneered — and cultivated them rather well!
"Could it be that the Creators of the Other Shore absorbed the cultivation methods of the Carefree Land and set foot on the path of divine treasure cultivation?"
Shen Mu steadied himself. If the methods for cultivating divine consciousness were transformed into a divine treasure cultivation system — if the methods for cultivating vital essence were replaced with methods for cultivating divine consciousness — then indeed one could cultivate far more swiftly!
Shu Jun had once said that after his rebirth he would certainly abandon his original method of cultivating divine consciousness, and intended to combine divine consciousness with the divine treasure cultivation system to create a method suited to this era.
If Shu Jun could perceive this, then the Creators of the Other Shore must have perceived it too — and had already carried out the transformation.
In truth, Shen Mu had also modified the Creators' cultivation methods — Shu Jun's Shangshi of the Three Enclosures, for instance, had been altered by him beyond all recognition.
Moreover, the Great Emperor's Supreme Daluo Divine Consciousness was itself a technique of the divine treasure and heavenly palace system — the Great Emperor was the first Creator to absorb the divine treasure and heavenly palace system.
The Creators of the Other Shore would surely have realized that such methods were easier to cultivate.
Xiu Zhong's carriage passed through that star-forging region. The Creators saluted him — not speaking, but through fluctuations of divine consciousness, which in a single instant could accomplish what speech would take half a day to convey.
Shen Mu sensed their divine consciousness, and his own brushed against theirs; in an instant a great deal of information was exchanged.
These Creators were star-masters of the Xiu clan, charged with creating the starry sky.
They intended to create hundreds and thousands of stars and hurl them at the territory of the villains of the Carefree Land — to smash the villains to death with whole planets.
"Do not act rashly."
Xiu Zhong spoke after all — but the language that came from his mouth was not wholly the Creators' tongue; many of his sentences were spoken in the human language. The ancient tongue and the human tongue mingled together, producing a most bizarre effect.
Shen Mu sought Shu Jun's aid, and Shu Jun rendered Xiu Zhong's words into divine consciousness for him.
"The villain chieftain Shen Ye is formidable indeed. These planetary bombardments will not be enough to deal with them. If you provoke Shen Ye, your lives are forfeit."
Xiu Zhong said: "Continue creating the dead-star zone. Trap those villains inside the Carefree Land, let them never find their way out — that is enough."
The Creators assented, and looked at Shen Mu with curiosity in their eyes.
"His name is Mu Qing. He is only two years old, and runs about everywhere."
Xiu Zhong explained to them: "His cultivation is not at all bad — many adult Creators are no match for him. Look at the eye at his brow."
The Creators all turned their gaze to the eye at Shen Mu's brow, and their faces showed astonishment and delight.
A host of Creators began to dance in the starry void, capering with joy — grotesque in their postures, yet filled with a strange beauty.
"Wonderful! The Primordial Stone has manifested its divinity, blessing our clan!"
"A child born of the Primordial Stone — the Holy Infant will save our clan and lead us back to the Ancestral Court!"
"Shen Ye is in trouble now!"
"The big-headed monster infant of Shen Ye's house has met its match!"
