The Woodcutter Sage Master and the Martial Heavenly Master are both waiting. " Yan Yunxi said angrily, "Is it any business of yours? There is no man who moves my heart, so I stay single as I am.
" Shen Mu laughed heartily. "If you cannot find a man who joins the Woodcutter Sage Master's wisdom and the Martial Heavenly Master's devotion in one body, then put on women's dress soon and pick one of them and marry him.
Neither has taken a wife to this day, and the two of them are most likely waiting on your decision.
You are not only delaying yourself, you are delaying them. " Yan Yunxi was both ashamed and furious.
"I have not been defeated by you.
Go, quickly. Do not stay here to humiliate me.
" "Shu Jun, we should be going.
" Shen Mu called out.
Shu Jun hurried to his feet, and Lu Zheng laughed, "Big Head, come and drink another day. I will treat you to a radish.
" The radish tethered to the fishing rod above his head struggled without cease, but could not break free, and had no choice but to accept its fate. Shu Jun answered and came to Shen Mu's side.
"Do not go to the heavens beyond these.
" Yan Yunxi saw him out of the city. "With me it has been false flattery; over there it is true fawning. Go there, and you will only be humiliated. " Shen Mu was slightly taken aback, and doubt showed on his face. Yan Yunxi sighed. "In the Worry-Free Land it is we old generals who chafe with unwillingness.
The gods and demons born here have no feeling at all for the outside world; they dread the rumored might of the Heavenly Court beyond measure and do not wish to leave. There are clever ones among them who know that you have come to remonstrate by force of arms, to compel Kaihuang to march to war.
They will certainly hinder you.
" Shen Mu smiled and nodded. "To them, this place truly is a worry-free land.
" Yan Yunxi snorted and said coolly, "Worry-free land?
No such thing as a worry-free land exists in this world.
Go on.
Every day earlier you meet Kaihuang, your odds of victory rise by one part. His comprehension in the sword dao and divine abilities is simply too high; delay a single day, and it is possible he will comprehend Sword Twenty, which will only make matters worse for you.
" Shen Mu took his leave and departed.
The two came to Yulong Heaven. This Yulong Heaven of the Worry-Free Land was indeed greatly different from the twenty-nine heavens before it: here were songs and dances of peace, gold and jade blazing in splendor, and young gods and demons had used their visualization divine abilities to conjure all manner of wondrous scenes and holy realms, a beauty beyond the eye's power to take in. People sang and danced in those strange, gorgeous places, pools of wine and forests of meat, luxury carried to the utmost extreme. As Shen Mu and Shu Jun walked there, Shu Jun suddenly wept. Shen Mu asked in surprise, "What troubles you, God King?
" "In the years before my Creator clan perished, it was the same.
Seeing these things stirs the feeling, and I could not help but think of those days. " Shu Jun said with emotion, "When the Creators reached their most flourishing height, no one ever imagined that the calamity of extinction was near. " Shen Mu fell into thought. Divine beings were patrolling here and there. They were likely the newborn gods of the younger generation, who had heard that Shen Mu had come to the Worry-Free Land and had come searching for their traces.
Shen Mu's divine sense rippled, forming a divine-sense illusion, and they passed right before the gods who were hunting them, unharmed the whole way.
