Then let the matter of today rest, and put it on his account. " The old constable assented and asked, "Now that Heavenly Venerable Mu has parted from the Divine Son of the Nether Capital, must the accounts be kept separately? " Tu Bo said, "Formerly he and the Divine Son of the Nether Capital were one body; the evils the Divine Son did were his evils too.
Dealings must be just.
We cannot, merely because they are now apart, fail to record the wrongs he committed before. " The old constable praised him.
"Tu Bo is impartial and without favor. " Shen Mu returned to the world of the living, and there saw the Heavenly Dragon Treasure Chariot stopped not far off, with Divine King Langwan and the others waiting, and the faces of Divine King Langwan and Shu Jun still somewhat pale.
"Sister Divine King, you fear neither Heavenly Venerable Shen nor any other Heavenly Venerable.
Why do you fear Tu Bo alone? " Shen Mu asked, perplexed.
"Tu Bo is the natural nemesis of the race of Creators," Divine King Langwan said, shaking her head. "Your elder brother, the little Tu Bo, alone routed our Creator race and sent us fleeing helter-skelter.
How much more, then, Tu Bo himself? " Shen Mu was struck dumb.
In the Other Shore World, the Land of No Sorrow had always been on the receiving end of blows, until Shen Fengqing's coming changed the balance.
The Creators of the Other Shore World, though peerless in spiritual consciousness, had suffered grievous losses before the Divine Son of the Nether Capital, Shen Fengqing, many of them devoured by the big-headed baby. The great path of the Nether Capital did indeed seem able to overcome the Creators. Shu Jun said, "We are strong in spiritual consciousness and weak in primordial spirit. When the primordial spirit is weak, the soul is weak, and it is easy for Shen Fengqing to strip away the soul and eat it. Shen Fengqing is the little Tu Bo; face to face with the true Tu Bo, the Creators' flaws show all the greater. Tu Bo slaying Creators is no harder than that.
In the great war of the ancient age, the Creators who died at Tu Bo's hands far, far outnumbered those who died at the hands of the Heavenly Emperor, the Heavenly Lord, and the Earth Mother Primordial Sovereign all together! " Divine King Langwan said, "I never saw the great war of ancient times, but I have heard the forebears speak of Tu Bo's fearsome name. When I led the Creators of the Other Shore World in reform, drawing on the Divine Treasury Heavenly Palace system and beginning to cultivate the primordial spirit, it was to rid the Creators of their weakness. Yet when faced with the little Tu Bo, Shen Fengqing, the gap was still immense. " Shen Mu laughed.
"What you learned was only the primordial spirit cultivation method of the Land of No Sorrow, and the Land of No Sorrow's method already lags far behind Jingping's. At the same realm, the primordial spirits of Jingping's divine-power wielders and gods and demons are stronger. Take me and Emperor Kai: at the same realm, my primordial spirit could beat his primordial spirit this many! " He held up one hand and made a gesture.
Neither Langwan nor Shu Jun believed it.
Shu Jun especially: he had seen Shen Mu fight Emperor Kai, and Shen Mu was a little stronger, yes, but only a little, not greatly stronger than Emperor Kai.
Yet they did not know that this time Shen Mu was not boasting. Emperor Kai's strength lay in his fighting power; the attack force of Sword Twenty and the thirty-fourth heaven of the sword path was truly too strong, and made up for the insufficiency of his cultivation.
Shen Mu's strength lay in his primordial spirit and his mana.
