Without my help, you could never find the Ancestral Court. " Luo Xiao's heart stirred, and he halted. Shen Mu invited him, saying, "At present, only I can help you.
Your enemies are all the ancient gods, and mine are scarcely fewer. Let us join like wolves in-- pah, pah, stand as one against a common foe, and perhaps we can aid each other.
" Luo Xiao stared blankly at him as Shen Mu came before the Heavenly Dragon carriage and lifted the beaded curtain. Luo Xiao hesitated a moment, gritted his teeth, and ducked into the carriage. The Dragon Qilin dispersed the Dragon Rearing Scripture and tethered the heavenly dragons, while Yan'er ran busily about, gathering up the corpses of the Five Luminaries, thinking to herself, "Enough to eat for a long, long time. . .
" Suddenly a violent tremor came from the sky. The Dragon Qilin and Yan'er looked up, only to see that the god stars of Taibai, Chenxing, Zhenxing and the rest, no longer summoned by the Five Luminaries Star Lords, were at once cut sheer in two by the Yuan Realm barrier and split in half! The Five Luminaries god clans dwelling upon those god stars fled in all directions, and many gods and demons were cut in two alive by the world barrier, while the five severed stars hung in the firmament.
The Dragon Qilin calculated their orbits and said to Yan'er, who was hauling "provisions" into the carriage, "Five thousand years from now, these five stars will fall one by one from the sky and smash upon the Yuan Realm.
Their orbits are most perilous. " Yan'er cared nothing for this. Turned into a plump little azure sparrow, she flew with effort to the Dragon Qilin's side and said, "By then we will long be gone.
Let us hurry and find my mother! " The Dragon Qilin hesitated a moment and said in a low voice, "We have stirred great trouble this time.
Killing the Five Luminaries Star Lords here, I fear we cannot hide it from the Heaven Duke, nor from Earth Mother, and perhaps even Tubo is watching this place. The Celestial Court and the other ancient gods will soon know of it.
I think we cannot go to the Celestial Court now. . .
" Yan'er froze, then turned to look at Shen Mu in the carriage. Shen Mu's voice came at just the right moment, "Yan'er, let us first seek the Ancestral Court.
We will have plenty of chances to see your mother. " Yan'er could only agree. The Dragon Qilin asked, "Cult Master, where is the Ancestral Court?
" "That depends on how high the Celestial Court stands. " Shen Mu said, "To know the true position of the Ancestral Court, one must know the height of the Longhan Celestial Court, taken together with Xuandu, Youdu, the Four Polar Heavens, the Yuan Realm, and Guixu.
The positions of Xuandu and the rest upon the star chart of the great universe I already know. The only thing I do not know is the original height of the Longhan Celestial Court. But since we have come here, measuring the true position of the Celestial Court is not hard. " He pushed open the carriage window and gazed up along the Heavenly River toward the Celestial Court, his eyes deep, saying, "The Celestial Court must already know of the death of the five ancient gods.
Most likely it will send the Ten Guards of the Celestial Court or many ancient gods to hunt and seize us.
Let us draw a little nearer, measure the height of the Celestial Court, and then leave. " The Dragon Qilin trembled with fear as he drove the Heavenly Dragon carriage toward the Celestial Court, thinking, "What if we cannot get away in time?
To slay ancient gods in this age must be an earth-shaking deed.
