Chapter 1386 — How Cruel the Truth Is
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 3
Long Xiao was strong beyond all suppression! Yet Shen Mu had at last won a sliver of opportunity, and at once sent the divine consciousness of Wei Suifeng, Granny Zhu and the others back to the Great Black Mountain.
The group awoke upon the altar of the Great Black Mountain, each consciousness returning to its own body. Granny Zhu, Patriarch Wenyuan and the others immediately examined Shen Mu's body, only to find that his primordial spirit was still there, but his divine consciousness had not returned!
"Wretched luck. Surely Heavenly Venerable Mu's divine consciousness has not been trapped by that invincible creature?
" "Things look bad. That creature is too terrible! " .
. .
The group fell into a panic, until Wei Suifeng said in a low voice: "No one panic!
If my junior brother could send us back, he can surely extricate himself as well.
The reason he did not return directly is likely that he wishes to meet Long Xiao. " Granny Zhu, Patriarch Wenyuan and the rest breathed a sigh of relief.
Concern breeds confusion; this possibility had not occurred to them, and so they had lost their composure.
Since Shen Mu could send them back, he could certainly extricate himself.
"That boy's nerve is far too great," Granny Zhu ground her teeth and said angrily.
"He deserves a good hard spanking! " At these words everyone's eyes turned bright. Crown Prince Youming coughed and said, "Fellow Daoist Si, your words must count for something.
You cannot talk big and then never strike.
" Wei Suifeng, Yu Chudu and the others nodded one after another: "As one who entered the Dao through divine abilities, your words are law.
You cannot go back on your word.
" The Dragon Qilin too wagged its tail in excitement, wanting to speak, yet fearing Shen Mu might notice.
The little azure sparrow on its forehead, however, raised its wings in agreement. Granny Zhu still could not bring herself to do it, and could only say: "We will speak of it once he returns.
. .
" Suddenly the nine-tiered altar quaked violently, and a vast, profound divine consciousness reached the Great Black Mountain straight from another space, pulling Shen Mu's body up from the altar; even the nine-tiered altar was pulled up, about to fly off toward that other space! The people on the altar lost their footing.
Crown Prince Youming and Wei Suifeng were the first to react, each reaching out to seize one of Shen Mu's legs, lest he be dragged into the reverse side of the Ancestral Court!
They were aghast in their hearts. The master of this divine consciousness was none other than Long Xiao; the dreadful creature had followed the trail, tracing Shen Mu and the others' divine consciousness back here, attempting a reverse summoning to call Shen Mu's body to the reverse side of the Ancestral Court! Though both Wei Suifeng and Crown Prince Youming were existences at the great perfection of the Emperor Throne realm, at this moment they could not withstand Long Xiao's terrifying summoning.
The two were hauled up, floating helplessly in the air. "Hold him!
" Wei Suifeng roared, his primordial spirit erupting. Behind him the heavenly palace drifted, and his primordial spirit rose thunderously from the Emperor Throne, all his mana fully mobilized. On the other side, Crown Prince Youming's Black Tortoise primordial spirit floated in the air, and he too exerted himself to the utmost, straining to hold Shen Mu's body back.
The others struck out as well, and at last they dragged Shen Mu's body down, landing upon the nine-tiered altar! Yet to their horror, the nine-tiered altar itself flew up, speeding toward that other space!
The instant Shen Mu's feet touched the altar, his eyes suddenly opened.
His primordial spirit whooshed up and settled behind him, and he bellowed: "Divine Treasury Domain!
" His primordial spirit became immeasurably vast.
In the moment it settled upon the altar, all the runes on the nine-tiered altar lit up at once.
