Chapter 1032 — The Village Headman's Sword, the Lame Old Man's Leg
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 4
His cultivation of the primordial spirit was vast beyond measure; with a single primordial-fetus divine treasury and the mana of his primordial spirit he could rival a heavenly god of the Yaotai realm, and once he reached the Honored God realm his mana pressed hard upon masters of the God-Slaying Platform realm. The reason his battle with Emperor Kai had seemed so close was chiefly that Emperor Kai's sword path was too strong, surpassing his own by a wide margin.
But in primordial spirit alone, Emperor Kai was greatly inferior to Shen Mu. Shen Mu looked about him and frowned slightly. He had meant to go from the Valley of the Fallen Gods to Jiangling, but now, having entered the Nether Capital and come out again, the geography was much altered: this place was farther from Jiangling and quite close to Bazhou.
"Since that is so, I will first go to the Heavenly Sage Academy to see Granny Zhu and the others. " He sat down with Divine King Langwan and Shu Jun and ordered Demon King Dutian to set out for the Heavenly Sage Academy.
In the carriage Shen Mu took out the jade bottle that sealed the Great Emperor's spiritual consciousness and said, "In refining the Great Emperor's spiritual consciousness I do not want his spiritual-consciousness cultivation; I want only his memories, and through them his Supreme Daluo Spiritual Consciousness.
His spiritual consciousness shall belong to the two Divine Kings. " Divine King Langwan hesitated, then nodded. "A great part of the Great Emperor's spiritual consciousness was not cultivated but came from the sacrifices of the Creators in the ancient age.
His spiritual consciousness is impure, and that has limited his achievements.
Among the forebears of the Great Void Creators there is a rumor that the reason the Great Emperor was defeated in his war with the Ancient Gods was precisely that he had raised his cultivation through sacrifice, and so acquired a weakness. Had his cultivation been won by his own bitter toil, defeating the Heavenly Emperor of the Ancient Gods and sweeping away all the Ancient Gods would have been no difficult matter. " Shu Jun's eyes lit up and he laughed. "You do not want the Great Emperor's spiritual consciousness; I do.
Divine King Langwan, do you want it? " Divine King Langwan hesitated a moment, then said, "The Divine King and I will each take half. Having cultivated to my present state, to advance another step is exceedingly difficult; even if the Great Emperor's spiritual consciousness is impure, I must make the attempt. Still, I propose we divide the spiritual consciousness into three, each taking one share and leaving one third for the Holy Infant. " Shen Mu was puzzled as to her meaning. Divine King Langwan said gently, "In the future, if you reach a bottleneck in your cultivation and can advance no further, then you may refine the Great Emperor's spiritual consciousness and raise your cultivation. My race of Creators can also sacrifice to you as one, to swell your power. " Shen Mu pondered a moment, then nodded.
The three at once each roused their spiritual consciousness and their refining divine arts, and gave themselves wholly to the refining, while the Heavenly Dragon Treasure Chariot went on its way toward the Heavenly Sage Academy. In the capital of Jingping, Emperor Kai bowed and asked the Sword God Su Muzhe to hold his step.
"I have sought instruction for so long, and Ye Kai has gained much. There is no need for the Elder to see me off. " The village headman insisted on accompanying him. "What I have learned from you is a hundred times what you have learned from me.
Brother Ye's talent is one of only two sword-path geniuses I have ever seen; I cannot but see you off.
" Emperor Kai said in surprise, "The Elder has seen another whose sword-path talent can be mentioned in the same breath as mine? Might I ask whether that man is Heavenly Venerable Mu? " The village headman shook his head and smiled.
