" Shen Mu asked quietly. Wei Suifeng said mildly: "Once I could not have guaranteed it, but after they were assimilated by the ghost ship, I am certain they will no longer be loyal to the Heavenly Emperor.
And I was assimilated along with them and stayed at their side; in their hearts, I am their leader. " Shen Mu smiled, and went on converting the Yulin soldiers one by one, from energy back into fleshly bodies.
The more he did it, the more skilled he became, and soon he had restored a hundred or more Yulin soldiers.
Shen Mu looked toward Wei Suifeng, who understood and stepped forward. Though Feng Qiuyun and Long Bowang were docile enough for now, they had not necessarily submitted in earnest; only with powerhouses such as Wei Suifeng and the Yulin soldiers to overawe them could they be kept from any rash move.
Wei Suifeng was too strong; restoring him was far harder than restoring the others, and Shen Mu spent heart and strength before he barely brought him back from that state of energy.
"Junior brother, you should restore yourself first now; your condition is very unstable, and if you keep draining yourself this way without cultivating to replenish your vital essence, sooner or later your cultivation will be spent," Wei Suifeng said. Shen Mu nodded. An energy body was indeed most perilous; the slightest slip and it would burst, and to stir the Taiji origin stone likewise consumed the energy within his body.
If he could not cultivate, he might well drain his own energy to the dregs and be unable to revive.
He rested a while, then set about restoring himself.
The Taiji origin stone was stirred, and suddenly Shen Mu's heart was moved, his thoughts coming alive: "If our eldest senior brother does not want me to remake his comrades, then I can remake myself! " His eyes blazed, and at the sight Wei Suifeng could not help but fear that the boy's two eyeballs would abruptly explode and, with a bang, blow the top off his skull. "Junior brother, do try to stir up a little less trouble.
" Wei Suifeng said, with weight and earnestness: "Others I do not worry about; you alone I fear will court death, muddling and meddling as you please. " Shen Mu laughed: "Rest easy, senior brother, I know my limits.
" "Like hell you do! " Wei Suifeng, beside himself with rage, cried: "When have you ever known your limits?
Not only do you torment others to death, you torment yourself to death as well!
Just honestly restore yourself, and stop your meddling and muddling! " Shen Mu nodded again and again, musing inwardly: "My cultivation system differs from others'. I have only the one great realm, the Yuantai divine treasury, and the seven realms of heavenly palace and heavenly court are merely lesser realms within it.
In terms of realm, there is little room left for me to remake.
And the Dao realm system Kaihuang founded requires one's own enlightenment; it cannot be cultivated through mass-energy conversion either. What I can remake now, first of all, is the Yuantai divine treasury.
" His eyes blazed again, and Wei Suifeng's heart leaped with fright. "When I opened my Yuantai divine treasury, my understanding of the Way of the evolution of yin and yang was shallow, and so it has great deficiencies.
This time, as I reshape my fleshly body and primordial spirit, I can try to fuse my insights into the Yuantai divine treasury.
And beyond that, the Way of Taisu!
" Shen Mu thought: "Taisu is the beginning of substance.
Possessed of form and of substance, having form yet not yet become a body.
Therefore it can change into ten thousand things. But my understanding of the Way of Taisu is still shallow.
. . What if I could fuse the fluid of the Taisu divine egg into myself? " He shook his head at once, and his eyes dimmed. Wei Suifeng breathed out, a little reassured.
"The Taisu egg fluid can be catalyzed only by the Taisu divine stone; if I force a fusion, I fear I too would become a puddle of egg fluid for someone to eat.
