Chapter 1029 — The Heavenly Emperor's Will
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 5
Sect Master Shen, look! " His thatched hut seemed small, but inside the space was vast, and it actually held countless bookshelves, with books everywhere on the shelves. Shen Mu picked one up, opened it, and saw that what was recorded within was unmistakably the runes of various ancient god Daos!
Shen Mu closed the book and said: "Xing An, your talent is peerless, but it is a pity you have used it in the wrong place. " Xing An raised his eyebrows, exceedingly self-satisfied, and said proudly: "Though I have done few good deeds, and five years ago during the Jingping Tribulation I did not enter the world to save anyone, once I research the mysteries of this body, I can benefit the world and let all people share in my bounty! Sect Master Shen, you are merely jealous of me!
" Shen Mu shook his head, took out a mirror, and said: "The jade slips in this mirror record all the ancient god Dao runes in this body of yours.
I give them to you. " Xing An's mind roared. He hastily took the mirror and looked at the rows upon rows of jade slips within. They were indeed the Dao runes from the Heaven Venerable Yu divine artifact, and even more precise—Dao runes that Shen Mu had obtained by recalculating with micro-astrology!
He could not help but be dazed and distraught, unable to recover his senses for a long while. "You are too closed off, and you communicate far too little with the outside world.
" Shen Mu looked at him with pity and said: "These jade slips in the mirror I have already given to the high ranks of the Jingping Reform. Though I cannot say every person has one, the number is not small. If you had communicated more with others, you would not have wasted five years of your life here.
" Xing An snorted, put the mirror away, and said calmly: "Taking oneself as the foundation of the Dao, with the body containing the ancient gods of the whole heaven—have you also comprehended this achievement?
" Shen Mu's aura shook.
Divine light swirled around his body, and nearly two thousand ancient gods appeared throughout his flesh, and he smiled: "Do you mean this? " Xing An was struck dumb, speechless. Shen Mu dispersed the ancient god phenomenon and praised: "Groping alone, you actually managed to comprehend the ancient gods of the whole heaven hidden within the body.
Truly peerless talent—no wonder you were the sage of the previous generation. You should go to the Dao Sect and seek Dao Lord Lin Xuan.
His mastery of micro-astrology far exceeds mine, and he has studied the runes of the ancient god Dao for a very long time. Your intellect joined with his will surely yield twice the result with half the effort.
" Xing An was silent for a moment, then waved his hand to collect the entire thatched hut and prepared to set off.
Shen Mu reached out to stop him. Xing An showed a look of suspicion. Shen Mu smiled: "When you and I journeyed through Fallen God Valley back then, you captured this body, and within it was a thread of consciousness from a Heaven Venerable. Is that thread of consciousness still there? " Xing An nodded and said: "I could not refine it, so I sealed it away.
" "Give it to me," Shen Mu said, his gaze flickering.
Xing An took out a jade bottle and placed it in his hand, then turned and called the box, departing with it.
Shen Mu watched him go far away, then returned to the chariot, tossed the jade bottle in his hand, and showed a thoughtful expression. Shu Jun looked at the jade bottle and asked: "Holy Infant, what is in the bottle?
" "A thread of consciousness from a Heaven Venerable.
" The Heavenly Dragon Treasure Chariot set off.
Shen Mu gazed at Fallen God Valley outside the carriage, his eyes deep and distant: "Five years ago, after the divine artifact Heaven Venerable Yu was created, that Heaven Venerable rushed to Fallen God Valley at the first moment to check whether Heaven Venerable Ling was truly dead.
