Chapter 1211 — Breaking Out of the Shell, a Divine Being Descends
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 3
If it had escaped together with him, then it would certainly hold a grudge for nearly being dragged to death; moreover, having been forced out of its shell before maturity, whether in cultivation or in power, it would be far inferior to a fully mature form. This grudge was a grave one!
Shen Mu was weighed down with worry. He had strained so fiercely to comprehend the Dao runes of Taishi's egg not only to rescue Ling Tianzun and Wei Suifeng, but also to learn what this ancient god and Taishi had been discussing.
Now, though he had cracked the Dao runes of Taishi, the ancient god from the all-answering divine egg had slipped away, bearing such a deep grudge - it would surely breed trouble in the future! "Let us hope it died in that universe.
. .
Eh? This egg fluid smells delicious -" Shen Mu's appetite suddenly stirred, and he raised the great shell and took a small, cautious sip.
"Truly delicious! No wonder that ancient god was unwilling to come out of its shell!
Damn - that sip was a bit too much.
. .
it seems I can't refine it. . .
" The next day, as the sky was faintly lightening, all was peace and calm outside the Hundred Thousand Black Mountains; the world-destroying terror of the previous night had vanished, and the ancestral court was just as usual, changed in nothing.
Clutching his stomach with a deeply furrowed brow, Shen Mu felt more and more unwell, for his belly was heavy and leaden after that mouthful of egg fluid last night. At times his belly seemed to hold a surging celestial river; at times a colossal beast churning the seas; at times it was as dense and heavy as if it contained a hundred Mount Merus; at times it seemed to hide a sun, roasting his organs as though they were scorched. That single mouthful of egg fluid could transform into countless forms within his body, utterly impossible to digest!
He could sense that the fluid bore extremely surging and abundant energy, yet not only could he not refine it, it had become a burden. "I must never eat whatever comes to hand from now on. This egg fluid is more poisonous than the grandmaster alchemist's spirit pills.
.
. though it truly is delicious. .
. " Cold sweat broke out on Shen Mu's forehead.
He was about to walk out of the ancestral court when he suddenly saw a mountain peak split open, and a young, lovely woman carrying a bucket came walking toward that peak. Startled, Shen Mu greeted her with a bow: "Brother Taiyi!
" That woman was none other than Taiyi. Seeing him, she could not help shaking her head and said, "Daoist friend, did you go to the previous universe last night? You are quite bold, daring to step beyond the Great Black Mountain after nightfall.
Because of you, Taisu was born prematurely as well - the karma between you and her is no small thing.
" Shen Mu, enduring the fierce pain in his belly, asked, "Do you know where she is hiding? " The woman shook her head.
"I do know, but I cannot tell you. Your intentions are dubious.
" Shen Mu frowned. The woman smiled.
"You drank her egg fluid?
That is the substance of her attainment of the Dao. The karma is now even deeper. " Shen Mu humbly sought instruction: "How can this enmity be resolved? " "It cannot be resolved.
" The woman shook her head.
"She was already wary because of Taichu's birth, and having been dug out by the Creator, she trusts no one.
She is also ambitious - conflict with you was only a matter of time.
Lord Mu, I can, however, teach you a way to dissolve the egg fluid. " Shen Mu's heart stirred.
The woman went on, "Taisu was born within the Taisu mineral veins.
By absorbing the power of Taisu divine stones and Taisu primordial stones, she can refine the egg fluid and grasp the Great Dao of Taisu.
If you use a Taisu divine stone, you can dissolve the energy in the egg fluid. " Shen Mu bowed and thanked her. The woman smiled. "I am doing this with an eye to the future, which is why I am guiding you.
