The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 3
Even though Shen Mu held the upper hand, he could not overcome him. The two consciousnesses fought on without cease between Gongsun Yan's brows. When Gongsun Yan had finished dealing with everything and stepped out of the Lingxiao Hall of Treasured Jade, Shen Mu went at once to meet her, touched her brow lightly, and the thread of the Great Emperor's invading consciousness was ground away and refined by him!
"The Great Emperor is truly remarkable; his attainments in the way of divine consciousness are exceedingly high, beyond my match," Shen Mu could not help but admire. This clash with the Great Emperor's consciousness in Gongsun Yan's brow had given him a deeper understanding of the Great Emperor's abilities. That the Great Emperor could become one of the Ten Heavenly Venerables was due to attainments in the way of divine consciousness that none could match; and having absorbed the Divine Treasury Heavenly Palace system, he was now immeasurably stronger in divine-consciousness powers than before.
"Young Master, what should I do? " Once away from the Lingxiao Hall, Gongsun Yan at once became that simple girl again, with no mind of her own, and said in a low voice, "I don't know how to be this Primordial Sovereign of Earthly Virtue. I.
.
.
" Shen Mu said with a smile, "You don't need to do anything. " Gongsun Yan was puzzled, and Shen Mu went on, "You need only be as you were before, and be yourself.
In ordinary days, water the plants, tend a few flowers, spread a little fertilizer, catch a few bugs, raise a nest of phoenixes, and learn a little Daoist art and divine power from Granny Zhu.
" Gongsun Yan blinked her big dark eyes. "But His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor wants me to build an Earthly Virtue Heavenly Palace, and I have no experience in such things.
.
. " "Then it's even simpler. " Shen Mu said, "You can apply to the Heavenly Emperor for a sum of money, and once you have it, hand it to Jingping to build the palace for you.
As for raising troops and buying horses, you can leave that to Emperor Yanxiu as well. Ling Yuxiu will be glad to do all these things for you.
Just set your mind at ease and cultivate; so long as your abilities are high and you can fight ten thousand alone in battle, that will be enough.
" "There's going to be fighting too. . . " Gongsun Yan was somewhat uneasy.
Shen Mu laughed heartily.
"Primordial Sovereign of Earthly Virtue, with half the Yuan Realm in your grasp, won't you have to fight back the powers that will not submit? " Even as he spoke, the divine official returned, bringing the various treasures the Heavenly Emperor had bestowed, a hundred palace maids, and an Eight Phoenix Imperial Carriage.
The eight phoenixes were very beautiful and exceedingly powerful, no weaker than the nine heavenly dragons of Shen Mu's Heavenly Dragon Treasure Chariot. The Eight Phoenix Imperial Carriage was of the rank of a feudal lord, one grade lower than the Heavenly Dragon Treasure Chariot, but it was no small thing either. Gongsun Yan climbed onto the carriage and parted from Shen Mu with reluctance.
The carriage started up and flew toward the Spirit Energy Transfer Bridge, bearing the many treasures and the palace maids.
Shen Mu watched her go into the distance, his eyes flickering. "The blessings of the Ten Heavenly Venerables behind Yan'er's head are a troublesome matter.
The blessings of the Ten Heavenly Venerables are very hard to remove, even more vexing than the blessings of the ancient gods! " Still, once Gongsun Yan became the Primordial Sovereign of Earthly Virtue and opened the Earthly Virtue Heavenly Palace, Jingping would have a name to march under.
This was a good thing!
In the years since the calamity, Jingping had not trained troops at all, but had instead cut its forces.
