"I have always remembered Tu Bo's kindness, knowing that pendant was refined for me from his own horn so that I might subdue my devil nature and not be controlled by it. When I died and came back to life in those years, I placed the pendant in my vertical eye and made it the iris. Who would have thought Heavenly Venerable Xiao would shatter it. . .
" He looked up at Tu Bo's primordial spirit, his eyes red.
The Alchemist also looked toward Tu Bo's primordial spirit with expectation.
Tu Bo was silent.
Shen Mu shed tears. "This eye of mine was praised by an ancient being in the Ancestral Court as the strongest holy pupil, precisely because Tu Bo's horn formed its iris. Who would have thought Heavenly Venerable Xiao would ruin it, so that from now on it will be nothing but an ordinary eye. " Tu Bo remained silent.
Shen Mu gritted his teeth and said, "That ancient being dwells in the Great Black Wood, mending the Great Black Mountain every day.
If there is a chance, I could introduce him. . .
" Tu Bo's face was expressionless, then he suddenly said, "I will give you another sliver.
What do you think?
" Shen Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and the Alchemist secretly breathed one too. Tu Bo went on. "But it is not free.
The Ancestral Court is now open, and I too can reach it. Since you have the face to do it, introduce me to that being.
" Shen Mu muttered inwardly. Tai Yi could go to see whomever he wished directly, while it was not so easy for others to see him.
If he did not wish to see a man, then even if that man stood before him, he could not see him.
Who knew whether Tai Yi would agree to see Tu Bo?
"Agreed. " Shen Mu did not change expression.
"Then I will sacrifice this face of mine and introduce you to him.
But I want the mightiest sliver of Tu Bo's horn to serve as my iris. " Tu Bo hesitated a moment, then nodded.
"It may be done.
" Shen Mu was overjoyed. "Then could Tu Bo contact Tian Gong for me? I could introduce that being to Tian Gong as well.
" Tu Bo frowned, his ox tail flicking. Shen Mu explained, "Though my vertical eye has Tu Bo's horn for its iris, it still lacks the anterior chamber of the pupil.
If a treasure of Xuandu could form it, it would surely be still more splendid. " Tu Bo said, "I can inform Tian Gong. You return first to the Ancestral Court, and Tian Gong and I will settle the exchange with you there.
" Shen Mu set his mind at ease.
Tian Gong surely had treasures too, and if his vertical eye could gather the power of Tian Gong and Tu Bo, together with the Taichu eggshell and the Taiji origin stone, it would surely be mightier than before. Of course, more important still was that he must get water from Tai Yi's bucket to drip upon the eye. Heavenly Venerable You was puzzled inwardly. Though Tu Bo's horns could be regrown, the mightiest horns of Tu Bo were refined from the continents of the Ancestral Court, and even the Mingdu and Fengdu borrowed by Yin Tianzi and Kaihuang were horns later refined from other heavens.
For Tu Bo to employ his origin horn merely to meet the mountain-mending man in Shen Mu's lair seemed too great a price for too small a purpose. Stranger still, Tu Bo had agreed to contact Tian Gong.
Who was that mountain-mending man, that he could make these two beings go together to see him. The wounds of Heavenly Venerable Yue and Heavenly Venerable You were none too grave, and the Alchemist examined them, refined spirit pills, and healed them.
Tu Bo's primordial spirit led Shen Mu to look at Heavenly Venerable Xiao's divine artifact Heavenly Venerable Yu, and as the two gazed at that colossus, Tu Bo's primordial spirit suddenly sighed and shook his head. "This Heavenly Venerable Yu will not last much longer.
