Chapter 1052 — The Maiden of the Far Western Heaven Domain
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
"A great calamity has been dissolved before it took form, so Tianzun should be going back now. " Tianzun Hong also stood, putting on the air of a kindly old man, and chuckled, "Daoist brother, you have spoiled my good business, but you are my senior, so there is nothing I can do.
In the future Daoist brother must make it up to me.
" "Of course, of course.
" Shen Mu saw him off, saying, "Since I have spoiled my fellow Daoist's good business, I will give my fellow Daoist a piece of news by way of compensation.
The Ancient God Heavenly Emperor is among the Ten Tianzuns, and so are Her Majesty the Empress and Madam Yuanmu.
" Tianzun Hong's body gave a slight shudder. He turned around, and with a look half smile and half mockery said, "That news has indeed shaken me, and yet it is also only to be expected. If even the Earth Mother Yuanjun is so hard to kill, dead yet unyielding, again and again stirring up trouble, how much more so His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, whose skills are a notch above hers?
Still, though this news is of high value, it can hardly make up for my losses.
The Western Pole Heaven is one of the Four Pole Heavens; the four poles of the universe are no small matter. " Shen Mu said unhurriedly, "And what if I say that Gong Yun is also among the Ten Tianzuns? Is that news enough?
" "Who is Gong Yun? " Tianzun Hong asked suspiciously. "Could it be Tianzun Gong? " Shen Mu watched his face, noting the faintest shifts of his expression, but could detect no concealment in it at all. "Gong Yun is also called Xinfu. She is one of the three Divine Kings of the Primordial Age, the wife of the Grand Emperor.
The Ancient God Heavenly Emperor and Gong Yun gave birth to the Divine Emperor Langxuan. " Tianzun Hong's heart and spirit were greatly shaken.
He gave a heh-heh laugh.
"So there are so many tricks hidden among these Ten Tianzuns!
How laughable that I have called them fellow Daoists for hundreds of thousands of years and never once knew their origins! I have been taught, I have been taught! " Shen Mu still could see nothing amiss in his manner, and inwardly he praised him: "This is what the village chief calls an old hand of the rivers and lakes — he leaves not the slightest trace, his depths are unfathomable. " "Fellow Daoist Hong, this time it was I who spoiled your good business, and these two pieces of news truly cannot make up for it.
In the future I will surely repay you. " Shen Mu said with the utmost sincerity, "Fellow Daoist, set the Western Pole Heaven aside for now, and we will speak of it in the future. " Tianzun Hong said with a smile, "It is not that I do not trust Daoist brother, but Daoist brother owes me a favor, and it must be put in writing.
" Shen Mu fetched paper and brush and wrote out a note. Tianzun Hong took the note and drifted away. Shen Mu watched him go far off, then returned to the chariot, where he saw that the Western Emperor was still staring at Divine King Langwan, while Divine King Langwan, calm of countenance, let her look her fill.
Shen Mu sat down, his face darkening. The Western Emperor said coldly, "So then, Tianzun Mu, is this young lady a Creator.
.
. " "Enough!
" Shen Mu flared up and shouted, "Had Your Majesty the Western Emperor not been so rash as to seize the divine artifact Yutianzun, would I have been so passive before Tianzun Hong?
I even wrote him a note and handed it over, owing him a favor, and in the future I do not know how I am to repay it!
Your Western Pole Heaven — I preserved it for you. Your life — I preserved it for you.
What more do you want? " The Western Emperor blushed and said with a smile, "You great oaf, why do you fly into a temper at the least thing?
Not a shred of subtlety about you.
