Without warning, the two ancient gods, of one mind, turned their heads together, and saw the Taiji Star Field spinning without cease.
The two ancient gods said in unison, "So that is it! " Consort Yan, puzzled as to their meaning, halted her steps. The two ancient gods reached out their hands together; the Taiji Star Field shrank as it spun, and before long it transformed into a Taiji sand table that flew toward them and settled behind their heads.
This Taiji sand table was composed of black sand, white sand, and the Taiji mineral veins. As the two ancient gods walked shoulder to shoulder, the Taiji sand table spun ceaselessly behind their heads, black and white alternating.
Consort Yan studied it closely: the Taiji Star Field and the mining region had now transformed into a strange treasure, brimming with a fearsome might. And amid the changes of Taiji, forms of all manner of divine weapons emerged from the sand table, most formidable, more fearsome even than the treasures of the Heavenly Venerables! The female ancient god laughed.
"Just now we kept feeling that something was missing; only when we turned our heads without thinking did we discover this treasure.
It is the treasure born alongside us, our Dao soldier. " The male ancient god said, "We were born from the mining region; the mining region, to protect us in attaining the Dao, forms a Dao soldier. Taichu, Taisu, all have their Dao soldiers that guard the Dao.
" Consort Yan's heart stirred. "My late husband had a Dao soldier too? How is it I never knew?
" She was greatly perplexed: if the Heavenly Emperor Taichu had a Dao soldier too, why had she never seen him use it? If he had possessed a Dao soldier, how could the Heavenly Emperor Taichu have been so wretched? The Ancient God of Taiji did not know the reason either. A Dao soldier is a supreme treasure, formed of the great Dao, of immense power; only in their hands can such a treasure be brought to its utmost.
The female ancient god said, "Brother Taichu was sacrificed to by the Great Emperor's clansmen, and so was born into the world ahead of time. Could his Dao soldier have fallen into the Great Emperor's hands? " Consort Yan's heart went cold.
The Great Emperor had never once brought out this Taichu Dao soldier, hiding it very deep; this must be his final trump card! Meanwhile, in the thirtieth void, Shen Mu stood at the prow of the Divine Boat of the Other Shore, both hands raising high the eggshell of the Taiji divine egg, while the boat raced madly on, carrying the youth swift as wind and lightning!
The youth's heart bloomed with joy; he pushed his cultivation to its utmost, fearing only that the Ancient God of Taiji would catch up, never imagining that the wronged party had not pursued him at all.
"Ha ha, ha ha! The eggshells of the Five Primals are all in my hands at last!
" In Shen Mu's heart it was as if countless little fox spirits were cheering and leaping; his Dao heart stirred restlessly.
Catching the fragrance of the essence liquid in the Taiji divine egg, his appetite was roused: "How fragrant! Truly fragrant, just one sip, just to taste it! " With a boom the Divine Boat of the Other Shore plunged into the thirty-first void.
This layer of void was somewhat perilous for Shen Mu, but a guilty thief is ever fearful; he still worried that the Ancient God of Taiji might track him down, and so he had no choice but to brave the danger and enter the thirty-first void. This time he had braved enormous peril, driving the Three Cores of the Mystic Body art, using the still-immature Zaiji Heavenly Palace, aided by the Steal Heaven Palace, to raise his speed to a level that ignored spatial distance, cutting in one stroke into the battlefield of the Ancient God of Taiji and Consort Qiang, Shi Qiluo and the rest, and stealing away the two eggshells without god or ghost knowing!
