Chapter 1431 — Fragments of the Great Luo Heaven
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 4
"Divine Emperor, this prehistoric mighty one is a being enthroned high in the Great Luo Heaven; his strength stands above the Ten Heavenly Venerables and indeed above any Heavenly Venerable. If he enters the Ancestral Court, then the rule of the Ten Heavenly Venerables will crumble, and he will become a being high above all. " Shen Mu guided him along, step by step: "For the sake of his own power, he will either eliminate the Ten Heavenly Venerables or subjugate you all. As one of the Ten Heavenly Venerables, the rulers of this age, what should you do? " Divine Emperor Langxuan came back to himself, his gaze flickering. He smiled. "But I will not let him enter the Ancestral Court, nor the Jade Pool—still less will I let him plunder the Jade Pool's power!
" Shen Mu breathed a sigh of relief and closed the vertical eye in his brow.
"With the Divine Emperor holding watch here, I am at ease. " Divine Emperor Langxuan looked at him and smiled.
"Heavenly Venerable Mu, he hides beneath the Jade Pool.
Rather than wait until he has stolen power enough to enter the Ancestral Court, we might as well drive him back into his own age! I need the aid of your Sacred Pupil to find his whereabouts!
" He smiled proudly and said, leisurely, "I would very much like to meet this supreme mighty one of the previous cosmic year! " Shen Mu hesitated a moment, and Divine Emperor Langxuan smiled. "Do you not wish to root out this hidden threat?
" Shen Mu studied his face carefully. Divine Emperor Langxuan met his gaze openly and smiled.
"I am one of the Ten Heavenly Venerables, a ruler of this cosmos; naturally I must consider this age. " Shen Mu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
"Since the Divine Emperor harbors such intent, then I shall grant you this favor.
Divine Emperor, neither you nor I are sufficient to reach that Great Luo Heaven fragment. I possess a divine ability called the Other Shore Divine Ark Crossing; if I borrow your strength, perhaps I can enter that fragment. " Divine Emperor Langxuan's heart gave a slight jolt.
He nodded silently and praised, "Heavenly Venerable Mu, you know a great deal indeed.
" Shen Mu grew wary within, but smiled.
"My cultivation realm is low, so in idle hours I like to tinker with divine abilities. " Divine Emperor Langxuan laughed aloud.
"Your cultivation is already exceedingly high. Who else, pray tell, could cultivate to your stage at merely fifty-odd years of age? Setting aside all else, to cultivate to the Jade Pool realm and become a Heavenly God in fifty years—among the geniuses of the myriad heavens and worlds, those with such aptitude are already rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
And moreover, your strength does not end even there.
" Shen Mu laughed too.
"You flatter me, you flatter me. " Divine Emperor Langxuan's heaven-flooding mana surged forth, and Shen Mu immediately borrowed this mana to perform the Other Shore Divine Ark Crossing. The Other Shore Divine Ark Crossing was the eighth heaven of his divine abilities. This move held little offensive power; it was a divine ability for entering the Void.
Shen Mu had created it upon entering the Dao in order to enter the Ultimate Void and rescue the soul of Heavenly Venerable Yun, imprisoned by the Great Emperor.
But his cultivation was still weak; he was far from able to enter the Ultimate Void, and at most could reach the twenty-ninth or thirtieth layer of the Void.
Yet now, with Divine Emperor Langxuan's aid, Shen Mu's mana surged violently and his divine consciousness grew incomparably mighty. With a long cry, the Other Shore Divine Ark Crossing erupted! An Other Shore Divine Ark swiftly took form beneath the feet of Shen Mu and Divine Emperor Langxuan.
The ark flew out, its prow pointed downward, its speed unimaginable, roaring as it plunged toward the depths beneath the Jade Pool!
