Chapter 1831 — That Youth Three Thousand Years Later
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
In the Guixu Way, one birth and death of the universe was one Dao grade, and the supreme achiever of the Guixu Way was Lord Wuji of Miluo Palace, whose lotus platform had sixteen Dao grades.
Though she had not been born in the first epoch of the universe, she had explored both the Annihilation Kalpa and the Genesis Kalpa of that first epoch, and so had been able to cultivate this path.
Shen Mu's cultivation of the sixfold Dao grade was most likely due to drawing on the power of the great Annihilation Kalpa. "But he still needs a means like that of the Heaven-Opening Host before he can comprehend the mysteries of the Genesis Kalpa.
" Zhu Santong thought: "He is not one of the Heaven-Opening Host, but he most likely has a similar means. And yet the Heaven-Opening Host have already become monsters.
I wonder whether the Seventh Young Master can hold fast to his Dao heart.
.
. " Then he suddenly shook his head and thought: "The Seventh Young Master was always a monster to begin with!
" Shen Fengqing led the way toward the Cosmic Bell, saying, "Be careful.
Those prehistoric masters who crawled out of the past are all formidable, with mighty divine powers and Dao arts mostly unfamiliar to you. If you die before even taking the field, you'll disgrace Jingping. " Heavenly Duke had the highest cultivation among them and was the only Dao-achiever; he opened the road together with Shen Fengqing.
As they came down from the tripod wall, they saw traces of great Dao battles everywhere in the ancestral court and were secretly alarmed.
These traces were mostly residual divine power left by top-tier Heavenly Venerables and Dao-achievers. Dao chains had taken all manner of forms—mountains, rivers, trees, divine beasts, sacred relics.
There were also broken Dao weapons, weapons of Dao-achievers, thrust into the earth like mountain ranges. These fragments were probably the Dao weapons of prehistoric Dao-achievers, destroyed in the war.
Silent Craftsman tried to go pick some up, but Li Zheng hastily tugged him back and whispered, "Don't shame Shen'er.
These are things people threw away.
We're Shen'er's elders, not ragpickers. " Silent Craftsman turned a deaf ear, picked up some fragments, and came back overjoyed.
Further ahead, ruined Dao trees lay stuck in the ground every which way, and Silent Craftsman hurried over to gather them.
Blind Elder could not resist going up as well, and Butcher dashed over, saying, "There's fine material here—forge me a good blade! " In the end, even Li Zheng could not hold back; he ran over to scavenge and called, "Silent Craftsman, that sword.
.
. " When they had cleaned out that battlefield, everyone had gained something.
Even Zhu Santong had snatched a few treasures and felt his heart hammering: "This is far faster than looting Dao-achievers in my previous life. " He had once been a bandit among Dao-achievers, skilled at changing form and harming men, and had plundered many of his peers, until at last, because he had tried to snatch other Dao-achievers' life-saving treasures during the Annihilation Kalpa, he was suppressed by Lord Taishang.
Lord Taishang, like the master of Miluo Palace, rarely killed, and so had let him live until now.
The group went on, passed another ruined battlefield that was also strewn with treasures, and could not resist looting that one too.
They advanced in fits and starts, encountering more than a dozen battlefields, until their packs were stuffed full and they could loot no more, so they gave up.
Suddenly, a golden ship flew up from ahead and stopped before them.
They knew Shen Mu had sent the golden ship to fetch them and boarded one after another, only to see treasures piled up like mountains and covering every deck.
Compared with those, the treasures they had gathered were indeed discarded scraps!
