Chapter 1548 — The Origin Qi of Hongmeng

His whole body was blasted into a terrifying mass of energy currents that swelled in all directions! Caught off guard, Qiang Tianfei was splattered with blood across her face.

She was dazed for a moment before she remembered and hurriedly wiped the blood from her face.

Just then, as though time itself had flowed backward, the surging, swelling energy rapidly contracted and gathered toward the bow of the little boat. Even the scattered blood began to flow back, and Shen Mu was once again sitting there perfectly intact, as if that terrifying explosion had been nothing but Qiang Tianfei's illusion. The two mirrors still hung one on each side of his cheeks, and Shen Mu still sat there with eyes closed and mind focused.

Qiang Tianfei shook her head.

She was just about to speak when suddenly Shen Mu's body at the bow twisted violently. Before her eyes, heads sprouted madly one after another from Shen Mu's neck, and in no time he became a huge monster covered in heads, which then swelled and exploded, dying a violent death! Qiang Tianfei's eyes went wide, but then she saw the Unchanging Divine Ability activate once more, and Shen Mu returned to his former appearance.

Bang! Shen Mu became a flesh-formed Taiji diagram, yin and yang qi swirling around it, churning his body to pieces.

Bang! Shen Mu became a majestic evil dragon coiled at the bow of the little boat, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws at Qiang Tianfei.

Bang! He became a mountain of stone, standing there towering. Qiang Tianfei steadied herself and finally decided to stop looking at the fellow, no matter how he changed.

More than a month passed.

Qiang Tianfei saw the far bank in the distance and finally let out a breath of relief. During this time, Shen Mu had died countless times. In the last few days, he had finally stopped dying and his form had stabilized, and Qiang Tianfei found herself somewhat unaccustomed to it. "The place ahead should be the dwelling of the master of the Miluo Palace, shouldn't it?

" Qiang Tianfei panted heavily and said in a low voice.

"The master of the Miluo Palace rules the far bank of the sixteenth chaos river; it is not here.

" The woman in the Dao Fruit said: "Great Emperor, if you wish to see him, you must cross thirteen more rivers.

" Qiang Tianfei was dispirited.

She had little mana left now and had to rest and recover some strength, or she would not be able to cross the next long river of chaos at all!

But the nine Heavenly Venerables had been following steadily behind them all along, and she had no leisure at all to stop and recover her cultivation.

"Mu Tianzun, that brat, has been slacking off the whole time, sitting at the bow every day and finding new ways to court death!

" Malice rose in Qiang Tianfei's heart.

She thought: "If he still refuses to put in effort, I will mobilize my divine sense and borrow his life, turning back into a man! " Suddenly, she sensed an unusual change within Shen Mu's body, and she was startled. This change was very wondrous and strange.

When she looked at Shen Mu, she felt he was as vast as the starry sky; within his body it was as though yin and yang evolved and ten thousand Daos were born, and all things multiplied.

This change seemed to be a fundamental change.

She perceived that the source of the change should be Shen Mu's vital qi!

"What is this brat up to now? " Qiang Tianfei was utterly baffled.

Different vital qis had different attributes.

In the understanding of those with divine abilities, this was determined by the spirit body; different spirit bodies possessed different vital-qi attributes.

Even after cultivating to the divine realm and attempting to cultivate other Dao arts and divine abilities, the vital qi that held dominance in oneself remained the same as the spirit body's attribute. But now, what Shen Mu gave Qiang Tianfei was the feeling that he seemed to have changed his own spirit-body attribute, becoming another kind of spirit body, a spirit body she had never seen before.

"This aura is like a Taiji spirit body.

. .

Could the brat be the illegitimate child of the two ancient Taiji gods?

" Qiang Tianfei blinked and thought: "But they have only just been born, haven't they?

And they are brother and sister. .

. " Shen Mu opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

He was overjoyed. Over this past month or so, he had finally groped his way to the edge of the Five Ultimates realm!

He had made an initial discovery of how to transform his own vital qi into Taiji Origin Qi!

"Whether or not I cultivate the Jade Capital realm, I will not be weaker than anyone, and I may even be stronger than them!

" At that moment, his gaze fell upon Heavenly Venerable Xiao, and his momentum immediately diminished by a notch: "Mm, right now I still cannot compare with an existence like Heavenly Venerable Xiao. .

.

"
