The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
She has already drawn the power of the several Calamities of Destruction that follow. Only the power of the First Epoch's Calamity of Destruction is one she began to draw after her birth, and so she can only grow in the First Epoch.
" "There are such strange things? " Old Man Wuyai was astonished.
Seeing that the man's conversation was out of the ordinary, his interest was roused, and he sat and discoursed on the Dao with him. The longer they talked, the more extraordinary he found the man. Shen Mu looked around.
This vast, desolate Ancestral Court was without human habitation; only the Five Primes were gathering and brewing, the Five Prime Deities waiting to be born into the world.
"Stop looking. There is no share for you. " Old Man Wuyai laughed and said, "Miluo has long been guarding that place.
The living being in the first vein was taken by him the moment it was born.
By the way, you are also his disciple, and you come from the future, so you must know how I fare in the future, do you not? " Shen Mu said gravely, "Old Ancestor Wuyai's Dharma power is boundless, his might running through cosmic epoch after cosmic epoch. Countless Dao Achievers submit and guard the Old Ancestor!
" Old Man Wuyai laughed heartily. "You really know how to talk! Worthy of being Miluo's seventh! I like you especially!
" .

In the Second Epoch, the Master of Miluo Palace entered the world to save others, teaching divine powers and Dao arts. Life in the world gradually grew more numerous, and many ancient gods and beings of various races followed him to seek learning and inquire after the Dao.
The Master of Miluo Palace's eldest disciple was still a green youth, but he had already received the Master's true transmission, and sometimes he would preach the Dao in his teacher's place.
One day he encountered a strange pair, a father and daughter, and studied them curiously, yet could not discern their origins. Taishang felt a chill in his heart, rose, and inquired, "Where do you two Daoist brothers come from? " Shen Mu said hurriedly, "Elder Brother Taishang, I am your seventh junior brother, Chaos.
I entered the sect later than you, and I am unworthy of the words 'Daoist brother'! " Taishang was bewildered.
Shen Mu said, "What is your origin, Elder Brother? " Taishang said, "I was born from the Taiyi vein, originally an egg.
Our teacher awakened me and had me cultivate at his side.
" Shen Mu suddenly understood, and laughed heartily. "No wonder Taiyi could never beat Lord Taishang, and always came off the worse at Taishang's hands. So that is how it is, so that is how it is!
" He had finally grasped the crux of the matter. Taiyi was the primordial spirit of the Lord of Tiandu, who had seized the body of the Seventeenth Epoch's Taiyi.
Because it was a seizure of another's body, his comprehension and use of the Dao of Taiyi always fell a little short, and he was again and again checked by Taishang, and in the end captured and sealed in the Divine Coffin of Dao Burial! "Elder Brother, has our teacher ever taken you to see Guixu?
" Shen Mu said with a smile.
Taishang felt there was ill intent in his smile, but since the man was his junior brother, he supposed he would not harm him, and shook his head. "No.
" "Why not go and take a look?
" Shen Mu said, guiding him along.
