His Soul-Pulling Art was a spell of Youdu, and after his own improvements, it could be said that nothing could hide from its tracking, no matter where it concealed itself. Of that much he was confident.
"In all this world, there are but three who possess the power to keep a soul beyond your finding.
" Shujun said in a low voice, "The first is the Grand Emperor; the other two are Her Majesty the Empress and Lady Yuanmu among the ancient gods. The Empress and Lady Yuanmu command Guixu, which shatters all things and annihilates all things. In those years they roused Guixu and buried countless powerhouses of my race. One of the other two Divine Kings of my race perished at the hands of those sisters. Not merely the soul — even the divine consciousness was utterly extinguished, ceasing to be. Even the Grand Emperor cannot go that far. The Grand Emperor's strength lies in a divine consciousness of incomparable power; his divine consciousness is called the Great Luo Supreme Divine Consciousness.
" Shen Mu nodded. The Grand Emperor's Great Luo Supreme Divine Consciousness was exquisitely subtle; the Heavenly Court had long been waiting for the Left Junior Assistant Yan Shaoqing to devise a divine-consciousness method for the Emperor's Throne, yet the Grand Emperor had long since created a divine-consciousness method at the Emperor's Throne realm. "Why is the Great Luo Supreme Divine Consciousness called Great Luo?
" Shujun said, "In truth, his divine consciousness condensed as early as the primordial era, forming the Great Luo Heaven of Divine Consciousness.
That is a void-world built entirely of supreme divine consciousness. To say nothing of your spells — no spell in all the world can take effect within the Great Luo Heaven of Divine Consciousness. The rules of the great dao there are laid down wholly by the Grand Emperor. I believe Heavenly Venerable Yun's soul has been exiled by the Grand Emperor into the Great Luo Heaven of Divine Consciousness. " Divine King Langwo knew nothing of this, and asked, "Divine King Shujun, could you speak in more detail of the Great Luo Heaven of Divine Consciousness? " "Of the Great Luo Heaven of Divine Consciousness, I too know little.
" Shujun said, "In those years, when the Grand Emperor was not yet so strong, I crossed blades with him, contending for the title of number one powerhouse, and I once heard him speak of it. When his cultivation method, the Great Luo Supreme Divine Consciousness, was trained to its utmost, he began to touch the ultimate void.
His divine consciousness condensed within the ultimate void, ever-changing, eternal and indestructible.
Perhaps only one who has trained his divine consciousness to that level can find the Great Luo Heaven of Divine Consciousness within the ultimate void. Yet even at my strongest in life, I never cultivated to that step. " He looked at Divine King Langwo and said, "Your divine consciousness is stronger than mine was then. Have you touched the ultimate void? " Divine King Langwo shook her head. "At my present strength, my divine consciousness can reach only the thirty-fifth void — still one step short of the ultimate void. " Shujun's face showed envy, and he sighed, "That is already far stronger than I was at my peak.
" Divine King Langwo said coolly, "Naturally.
" Shujun gave a muffled snort and sneered, "Do not be so pleased with yourself! I am starting over from the beginning.
Once I cultivate the Heavenly River Divine Treasury, I will surpass your Divine Bridge Divine Treasury, and in time my strength will exceed yours beyond all reckoning!
A few days ago I sought out Qi Jiuyi for instruction, to learn how to open divine treasuries — far more refined than the bumpkins of Carefree Land.
