Upon the God-Slaying Platform, Kaihuang's aura grew ever stronger, his cultivation surging upward stage by stage, while that dao flower grew ever more vivid and the dao tree ever more vigorous. Shen Mu clenched his fists tightly, quietly awaiting the scene of utmost importance.

How long passed, he did not know, and then Kaihuang's aura reached its peak and suddenly returned to perfect calm, and step by step, stair by stair, he walked down from the God-Slaying Platform.

Shen Mu was astonished, and called out in a loud voice, "Heavenly Venerable Shen, where is your dao fruit? " Kaihuang descended the steps, shaking his head.

"My sword dao is used up.

" Shen Mu was furious.

"What do you mean, used up? " "It means the foundation of my sword dao is exhausted, and I cannot make the dao flower bear fruit.

" Kaihuang's tone was very placid, unhurried.

"I felt my spirit merge with the Daluo Heaven, and in an instant my heart of the Dao became infinitely vast, as though a new heaven and earth had appeared before my eyes. In that moment I was both stirred and utterly still.

" He recounted it all with ease, speaking of what he had comprehended when attaining the Dao.

"I suddenly discovered that attaining the Dao is not the end; beyond attainment there are still realms.

I have just now grasped such a realm; it is profound and mysterious, beyond words to describe, beyond the divine sense to depict.

I could not help but be immersed in it, and thus I realized my own shallowness.

" Shen Mu could not help but yearn wistfully for the Daluo Heaven, and murmured, "There are many more years to gnaw on.

.

.

" Then he suddenly came to himself and said gravely, "I killed the Celestial Consort Qiang and seized the God-Slaying Platform and the God-Slaying Mystic Blade for the sole purpose of helping you attain the Dao.

And the reason I helped you attain the Dao is Heavenly Venerable Ling and Heavenly Venerable Yun.

Kaihuang, are you confident?

" Kaihuang smiled faintly.
