The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 5
Yet it was as if Xuandu and Youdu pressed down upon him, suppressing his flesh, while raging karmic fire burned his soul, forcing him to unseal the seal of the God-Slaying Platform realm once more! Thereupon Shen Mu unleashed the third move of his Dao-entering divine arts, Gazing Across the Four Poles from the Heavenly River, and the fourth, Converging into Perfection in the Heaven of Daluo.
Move after move of the Dao-entering divine arts was unleashed, and Crown Prince Yuanlong struggled desperately to withstand them. Fortunately, he was, after all, an existence of the Emperor Throne realm; unsealing his cultivation to the God-Slaying Platform realm was enough to receive Shen Mu's arts, even the great Dao-entering divine arts. At last, the eight moves were spent. Shen Mu flicked his sleeve and turned back into the hall.
Crown Prince Yuanlong bowed to see him off. "Thank you, Heavenly Venerable, for your fulfillment!
" Shen Mu said, "Your father has already seen my divine arts. His reincarnated body should be arriving at the Eastern Pole soon, should it not? " Crown Prince Yuanlong was slightly startled, and his face flushed. He led his many younger brothers and sisters back to Lingxiao Hall, where he found the Eastern Emperor, the Azure Dragon, wearing a joyful expression.
"You did well!
Especially you, Yuanlong, you forced him to use eight great divine arts.
You have rendered great service! Still, I need a few more days to deduce the flaws in his cultivation arts and divine abilities.
" Crown Prince Yuanlong bowed.
"Your son wishes you victory at the first drum, Father God! " The Eastern Emperor, the Azure Dragon, laughed heartily and went into seclusion. More than ten days passed. The Eastern Emperor emerged from seclusion and summoned Crown Prince Yuanlong and the others, asking after Shen Mu's movements in recent days. Crown Prince Yuanlong said, "Heavenly Venerable Mu has remained on Dragon Island all this time, occasionally taking a walk, but he has not left the island.
" The Eastern Emperor, the Azure Dragon, smiled.
"This fellow is quite steady.
" Just then, his reincarnated body stepped out from behind him: an imperial form with a dragon's head and a human body, wreathed in dragon aura, golden dragon qi coiling about him, imposing and extraordinary. The reincarnated body of the Eastern Emperor, the Azure Dragon, walked toward the Jade Pool, with Crown Prince Yuanlong and the others following. The spectacle was mighty, drawing countless dragon sons and grandsons from the Azure Dragon Heavenly Palace to fly up into the air and watch.
Arriving at Dragon Island in the Jade Pool, the Eastern Emperor's reincarnated body raised a hand.
Crown Prince Yuanlong and the others halted and stood in the air. The Eastern Emperor's reincarnated body slowly descended onto Dragon Island and smiled. "Great Master, I have kept you waiting.
" Shen Mu said politely, "The Eastern Emperor is too kind. Today, as you test my abilities, I would like to wager a little something with you. I have here a jar of the Primordial Liquid of the Earth Mother, the Primordial Sovereign, and I would wager it against your Mount Lingbao.
I wonder if Your Majesty is interested? " The Eastern Emperor's reincarnated body widened his eyes, his breathing quickening.
"Primordial Liquid?
A whole jar of Primordial Liquid? " Shen Mu flipped his palm, and a jar of Primordial Liquid appeared in his hand, radiating a terrifying yet pure energy. He smiled. "What does Your Majesty think?
" The Eastern Emperor's reincarnated body hesitated. "Precious as the Primordial Liquid is, one jar cannot buy Mount Lingbao.
How about this: I will wager a single mountain peak with you. " Shen Mu smiled.
"Good, then a single mountain peak. Your Majesty, I am of the Venerable God realm. " The Eastern Emperor's reincarnated body nodded, sealed the Southern Heavenly Gate, and smiled.
"I will face you at the Venerable God realm.
