Chapter 1485 — Who Can Match His Peerless Divine Soul

There was not the slightest trace of injury in Palace Heavenly Venerable's heavenly palace, nor any sign of decline in her aura; there was no wound upon her body either, and her primordial spirit was whole and undamaged. Kai Huang's attempt to kill Palace Heavenly Venerable had been at Shen Mu's instigation.

Had Palace Heavenly Venerable truly been gravely wounded by Kai Huang, without the medical mastery of a pill master, there was no way she could have recovered so quickly.

Shen Mu opened the vertical eye at the center of his brow and scrutinized Palace Heavenly Venerable, and at once he perceived the mystery.

Palace Heavenly Venerable's body harbored hidden dangers of every kind, like sword wounds — scars left by Kai Huang's sword dao, no doubt — yet someone had used a strange power to erase these dao wounds, restoring her body to its original condition.

But Palace Heavenly Venerable had, after all, cultivated diligently for a million years; her physical body was incomparably powerful. Though that person had repaired her flesh and erased the sword-dao scars left by Kai Huang, they could not restore her body to its strongest state.

Not only that, but Palace Heavenly Venerable's thirty-five heavenly palaces were likewise filled with traces of having been patched and mended; these repaired places were not as powerful as the rest. The same was true of Palace Heavenly Venerable's primordial spirit! Kai Huang's strikes had been ruthlessly vicious — he had come within a hair's breadth of burying Palace Heavenly Venerable with his sword dao!

Shen Mu's vertical brow-eye was the most powerful sacred pupil in the world today, with the Horn of Tubo as its iris, the Heavenly Duke's Dao-of-Heaven crystal filling its anterior chamber, the Primordial Stone of the Taiji as its pupil, and the chaotic eggshell of Taiyi as its retina. The Heavenly Duke and Tubo themselves had infused it with the Dao of Heaven and the Great Dao of Youdu, forging and empowering his sacred pupil, and dew from the Taiyi Dao Tree had been dripped into the eye as well.

Never mind seeing through Palace Heavenly Venerable — even if the Heavenly Duke and Tubo stood before Shen Mu, he could easily perceive the operational structures of the Dao of Heaven and the Great Dao of Youdu.

To perceive the secrets of Palace Heavenly Venerable's primordial spirit, physical body, and heavenly palaces was but a trivial exercise for him.

"In all the world, those capable of accomplishing such a feat — apart from Grandpa Pill Master and myself — number only Taisu. " Shen Mu understood clearly in his heart: "Grandpa Pill Master relies on the medical dao.

My medical dao is inferior, so I could only rely on the medical dao, the dao of creation, and the Unchanging Divine Power, supplemented by the daos of Taisu and Taishi, to heal the sword wounds Kai Huang left behind. If Grandpa Pill Master and I joined hands to treat her, no hidden dangers would remain. But the Taisu Goddess requires that Palace Heavenly Venerable have a request of her, that she kneel and worship her — and that carries enormous hidden peril.

" He saw it with perfect clarity: Palace Heavenly Venerable appeared to have recovered to a state of flawless perfection, but where there is a request, there must be a loss — Taisu could return those sword wounds to her at any moment!

Palace Heavenly Venerable's life and death could be said to rest entirely in Taisu's hands!

"It must be the same with Hao Heavenly Venerable, surely? His injuries in those years were even graver than Palace Heavenly Venerable's! " What worried him even more was that the mineral vein Palace Heavenly Venerable controlled was precisely the Taisu mineral vein! With Palace Heavenly Venerable in her grasp, Taisu had effectively gained the Taisu mineral vein; and gaining the Taisu mineral vein meant gaining the Taisu divine stones and the Taisu primordial stones!

"Taisu's strength was never great to begin with, but now I fear she may advance by leaps and bounds! " In the brief moment his attention was divided, Palace Heavenly Venerable, Langwan God King, and Moon Heavenly Venerable — three women — had already exchanged hundreds of blows.

You Heavenly Venerable stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Moon, Langwan, withdraw.

I will hold her off.

Go support the Heavenly Duke!

He cannot hold out much longer! " Moon Heavenly Venerable and Langwan God King immediately disengaged and flew toward the Heavenly Duke.

You Heavenly Venerable blocked Palace Heavenly Venerable's path and said, "Mu Heavenly Venerable, you go too.

" Shen Mu hesitated. You Heavenly Venerable personally blocking Palace Heavenly Venerable to prevent her from coming into contact with Langwan God King was naturally good, but without Langwan's visualization of Youdu, You Heavenly Venerable, exposed within Xuandu, would likely find both his strength and his divine powers greatly diminished! "You — survive!

" Shen Mu gritted his teeth and rushed toward the Heavenly Duke's direction.

You Heavenly Venerable's face was expressionless, the wrinkles on his face like the bark of an old tree.

He said indifferently, "Among the Heavenly Venerables, you are the weakest. You should be more concerned about yourself. " Palace Heavenly Venerable let out a long breath.

With Moon Heavenly Venerable and Langwan God King gone, the pressure upon her instantly lifted.

She looked at You Heavenly Venerable and, rarely, revealed a smile: "You — a figure who opened up an entire era in those years.

You and the other Longhan Heavenly Venerables together founded the divine treasury system. Your contribution was the most crucial of all — you opened up the divine treasury of life and death.

" She seldom admired anyone, yet at this moment she was filled with admiration for You Heavenly Venerable: "The world does not know how great the function of the divine treasury of life and death truly is, and often overlooks your achievement. Once the divine treasury of life and death is opened, one comprehends life and death, and thus can leap from the divine bridge treasury into the heavenly palace, and from then on one's lifespan equals heaven's. Without the divine treasury of life and death, even if others could cultivate to the realm of gods, they could never possess endless longevity. " She suddenly launched her assault.

Her thirty-five heavenly palaces, arrayed in staggered tiers, formed a heavenly court different from the true Longhan Heavenly Court — the thirty-five heavenly palaces actually took the form of a horn! Her heavenly court was broad at the bottom and narrow at the top, advancing tier by tier, until at the horn's tip stood the Lingxiao Treasure Hall of her primary heavenly palace, with her primordial spirit enthroned within! This was a horn composed of countless structures — magnificent, inconceivable! "Yet the world will never be grateful for what you have done. And Tubo, because you opened the divine treasury of life and death and gave the world the chance to escape life and death, bound you for a million years!

You — the world hates you only because you are a ghost officer, fears you only for that! " Palace Heavenly Venerable no longer concealed her cultivation, no longer concealed her strength.

Her weapon was the whip! In the primordial era, the creator goddess Nüxin's was a tribe of women renowned for battle.

This creator race tamed giant beasts and stood upon their backs to wage war across the world; the women's combat power was extraordinarily strong, and they possessed a fanatical lust for battle!

The ancient god they sacrificed to was the White Tiger of the Western Emperor! The White Tiger of the Western Emperor, revered as the ancient god of battle, was a god created through their visualization and sacrifice! The White Tiger of the Western Emperor's appearance closely resembled that of Gongyun God King of those years, and the Western Emperor's weapons were likewise the whip and the horn.
