Chapter 1081 — This Hairpin Is Returned to You
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 5
It was precisely because these sages groped and verified that later generations could avoid many pitfalls and take fewer detours in their cultivation.
That Yun Tianzun could, before all others, be the first to pioneer an Emperor's Throne method and cultivate the Emperor's Throne realm—this was absolutely an achievement without precedent, towering above all others! "Guest, we still need to go about our trade and cannot linger. " The deity guarding the merchant ship said with emotion, "This journey will likely take more than ten years before we return to Xiaohan.
By the time I return, I too will be a long-distance traveler, travel-worn, just like you, guest.
" Shen Mu laughed heartily and waved farewell.
The Heavenly Dragon Treasure Chariot drove up before the Xiaohan Heavenly Court. The Dragon Qilin halted the chariot outside the Southern Heavenly Gate.
Yan'er took down the lantern and followed behind Shen Mu.
The group walked into the Xiaohan Heavenly Court. Carrying a lantern in broad daylight, their party drew considerable attention.
Shen Mu looked around. The people of this era had already achieved much in the arts; the architecture was exquisite and magnificent, immersing one in the aesthetics of the ancient age.
Shen Mu had studied this as well, and he walked slowly, gazing about, his heart full of joy.
"Yun, how did you return so quickly? " A familiar voice called out. Shen Mu looked toward the sound and saw Yue Tianzun.
She was walking quickly toward him with several goddesses in attendance, complaining, "Did you not say you were going to the Longhan Heavenly Court to lodge a complaint with the Ancient God Heavenly Emperor?
Hao Tianzun has been encroaching on our human race's territory all these years. The demigods under his command have devoured many of our people, and repeated corrections have failed!
The front lines have fought I do not know how many battles.
This time, lodging a complaint with the Heavenly Emperor, you must—why have you transformed into Mu Tianzun's appearance again? " She suddenly noticed Yan'er beside Shen Mu, and the strange figures transformed from the Dragon Qilin and the six Heavenly Dragons.
She could not help but freeze, staring blankly at the Shen Mu before her.
A smile was brewing on Shen Mu's face.
He said softly, "Yue, it has been a long time. Since we parted last, it feels as though it were yesterday. How have you all been? " Yue Tianzun looked at him in disbelief. Her steps grew light and floating as she walked to his side, examining him over and over. She saw that Shen Mu was somewhat haggard, yet he seemed just as he had been yesterday—his appearance had not changed in the slightest. Yet he also seemed to have been through many things; his gaze had grown deeper than before, his bearing slightly altered, more restrained.
"A hundred thousand years. " She murmured softly, "It is not yesterday.
You left a hundred thousand years ago, Mu Tianzun. .
. " "I know. " Shen Mu smiled and said, "To you, it is a hundred thousand years.
To me, it is a matter of yesterday. " Yue Tianzun forcibly held back the urge to weep, took him by the hand, and led him into the Heavenly Court, smiling, "After you left, someone cracked your secret!
Do you know who it was?
It was Sister Ling!
" She was beside herself with joy, her voice light and quick: "Sister Ling said that a person from the future came to that era carrying her future hairpin, and so her hairpin disappeared.
Later I could not hold it in and told her that it was not Yun Tianzun who transformed into your appearance.
She was overcome with emotion, searched for you for a long time, but never found you, and was despondent for quite a while. . .
