Chapter 1190 — The Venerable's Lantern
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 3
" He flung out this remark from nowhere; Divine Emperor Langxuan did not know what he meant, but he did not venture to ask.
That he had lived until now was owed to his rule of playing the fool while holding all things clear in his heart. His strength was no worse than Venerable Hao's, yet each time he refused to take the lead and let Venerable Hao stand at the fore.
Shen Mu's steps looked unhurried, but his speed was extreme.
In the dream above his head, countless tiny Shen Mus gathered around the Egg of Taishi, studying it and sorting out the various runes of the Great Dao. Suddenly one tiny Shen Mu pointed ahead and said with a grave face, "Maha—" The other tiny Shen Mus looked up, saw that the Heavenly Court was close at hand, and in a fluster pointed ahead one and all: "Maha maha!
" "Guji guji!
" The dream collapsed, and Shen Mu woke from his sleep. He raised a hand and put away the Egg of Taishi; the vertical eye at his brow opened, and a beam of divine light shone upon the Egg of Taishi, drawing in that divine egg.
He looked up and saw that before him stood the Western Heavenly Gate of the Heavenly Court.
He put away the lantern and stepped in through the Western Heavenly Gate.
Before he had gone far, there was the Zaofu Heavenly Palace. Shen Mu passed through the Zaofu Heavenly Palace, and saw that upon the Spirit Energy Transit Bridge many tower ships laden with goods were sailing out. The master of the Zaofu Heavenly Palace was a burly, thick-limbed fellow with a full beard named Shi Qiluo, said to be a divine stone that had become a spirit and cultivated its way to the Imperial Throne. This man was a master of forging, the Heavenly Court's foremost grand master of the forge.
The Creation Divine Artifact had been placed in his keeping.
Shen Mu halted to look, and saw that Ling Yuxiu herself was escorting these goods from Jingping, come to deliver them to Shi Qiluo.
Yun Chuxiu was aboard as well, bustling to and fro. When she caught sight of him, the demoness's face flushed red with excitement; standing at the bow with her chest thrown out, she waved to him from afar, and even turned her head to say something to Ling Yuxiu.
Shen Mu's face went black, and he gave a cold snort. "Little wench, do you think I would be seduced by you? " With that thought, he walked toward the Jingping cargo ship.
