. " Suddenly, from behind Venerable Hao, Taisu's voice came, cool and indifferent: "Venerable Mu, if you can introduce me, I can spare your life. " Shen Mu looked behind Venerable Hao and saw Taisu changing forms—now a great cauldron, now a divine sword, now a great bell—shifting through the shapes of all kinds of treasures, then turning into Bai Qu'er, then into Lang Wan, then into Ling Yuxiu, and then back into the shape of a treasure. Taisu sensed his many thoughts and could not help being furious: "Is this fellow a robe that has become a spirit?
His thoughts are so tangled and chaotic, woolgathering in every direction—he has none of the bearing of one who has attained the Dao! " Shen Mu beamed and said, "Since Daoist Taisu has the intention of turning hostility into friendship, how could I not help bring it about?
Once this business is finished, I'll go ask him. As for whether he will see you, I dare not promise. " "So she is called Taisu! " The other Heavenly Venerables all turned to look behind Venerable Hao, and what each saw was different, each one a mirror of the thoughts in his own heart. Taisu snorted coldly.
"I am not seeking to turn hostility into friendship with you. You made me come into being before my time. Even if you are willing to introduce me, I will not let you off so easily—I am merely sparing your life.
" Shen Mu did not take it to heart. Leaning on the staff, he walked to the edge of the second great River of Chaos, privately troubled: "Who can I get to impersonate Taiyi? Lan Yutian—I'm afraid he won't do.
Kaihuang won't do either. .
. Or maybe I should just swallow my pride and impersonate Taiyi myself, then, while Taisu is off her guard, finish this little wench in one stroke. .
