Chapter 1744 — You Are Not Worthy
The Herdsman of the Wasteland Page 2 of 3
" Li Zheng Su Mozhe laughed and said, "Granny, what Shen'er means is that what we speak of is shallow, and therefore easier for others to understand. Shen'er, is that what you mean? " Shen Mu nodded. Granny Zhu spat and said, "Lan Yutian speaks, then we speak—nine days in total.
In nine days, the Heavenly Court's great army will have pushed all the way here!
" "They cannot push forward. " Shen Mu said indifferently, "With me here, who can push forward? Jiang Yunjian, Hua Xuanxiu, Patriarch Wen Yuan—after Granny speaks, you will lecture on the Ancestral Court Dao Realm system. " Jiang Yunjian, Hua Xuanxiu, and Patriarch Wen Yuan stepped forward.
Hua Xuanxiu asked curiously, "Uncle Shen, are you having us speak because what we comprehend is more superficial? " Shen Mu shook his head and said, "No.
It is because you began learning from the foundation, whereas Granny, Li Zheng, and the others all had their own special skills before cultivating the Ancestral Court Dao Realm system, and had preconceived notions. You, however, had no such preconceived notions along your cultivation path, and so you comprehend the new system more deeply and with greater subtlety, often able to think of places they cannot.
" Patriarch Wen Yuan was quite pleased.
Shen Mu glanced at him and said, "Patriarch Wen Yuan will speak first. He too once cultivated the traditional Heavenly Palace system, so he may well harbor preconceived notions.
" Patriarch Wen Yuan's face darkened.
Shen Mu said to the Moon Heavenly Venerable, the Nether Heavenly Venerable, Lang Wan, and the others, "You may as well listen. Having lost the four traditional realms, it is instead a case of cutting off the wrist to save the arm.
The new cultivation system may allow you to reach even greater heights. " The Moon Heavenly Venerable said, "The Haotian Emperor now has the support of the Third and Fourth Young Masters of the Miluo Palace.
Can he truly be held off? " Shen Mu laughed and said, "I am the Seventh Young Master of the Miluo Palace. Naturally he can be held off. You need not worry.
" The Nether Heavenly Venerable said, "The Left Guard of Divine Strategy leads the Youdu demon race, attacking from the rear in a pincer movement.
How shall we resist? " Shen Mu said, "My junior brother, the Jingping Imperial Preceptor Jiang Baigui, has already quelled the chaos in the Eastern Sea and is rushing here from behind the Left Guard of Divine Strategy and the demon army.
The Left Guard of Divine Strategy is no match for him.
" Lang Wan said, "Jiang Baigui no longer has his Jade Capital realm either, does he? Will he be a match for the Left Guard of Divine Strategy? " "In this world, those unaffected by the Jade Capital Trap are few, but Jiang Baigui is one of them.
" Shen Mu rose and said with a smile, "You remain here and listen to the lectures.
I shall go and have a word with the Third and Fourth Young Masters of the Miluo Palace.
" Lan Yutian's voice rang out, resonant with Dao tones, as he began to expound his Ancestral Court Dao Realm system.
Shen Mu walked down from the Lanfeng Valley, unhurried, heading toward the great army of the Heavenly Court. Within the Lanfeng Valley, what had originally been an army of sorrow, their morale low, now found that Lan Yutian was innately close to the Dao.
As his Dao tones rang out, his own Dao resonance unconsciously spread forth, and behind him a World Tree slowly rose, causing those present to unwittingly sink into the wondrous mystery of the Dao, unable to resist following his Dao tones in thought and comprehension.
He expounded the new cultivation system to the gods of every race in the Lanfeng Valley.
Beginning with the Spirit Fetus, this realm was not much different from what people had learned before.
The second realm was the Star River Divine Treasury; once the Star River Divine Treasury was opened, it evolved into Xuandu. The third realm was the Heavenly River Divine Treasury; the Heavenly River was opened and set flowing, and then the fourth realm was opened—the Four Extremes Heaven.
The Four Extremes Heaven realm had four subsidiary divine treasuries. After establishing the Four Extremes Heaven realm, one opened the three realms of Yuandu, Youdu, and Guixu. After these seven realms came the most crucial realm of all. That was the opening of the greatest divine treasury—the Ancestral Court!
After opening the Ancestral Court, one established the realms of the Ancestral Court's Four Heavenly Gates, the Yaochi and Yaotai, the Heavenly Sea, the God-Slaying Platform, the Nine Hells Platform, and so on, elevating one's comprehension of the Dao Realm! This was precisely why Shen Mu said that the Dao Realm system and the Ancestral Court system were most compatible. The Ancestral Court's Four Heavenly Gates, the Yaochi and Yaotai, the Heavenly Sea, the God-Slaying Platform, the Nine Hells Platform—these greatly enhanced the Dao Realm.
When cultivating these realms, one's Dao Realm cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, almost as if soaring!
This was the greatest and strongest advantage of the new cultivation system! After cultivating these realms, without the Jade Capital, Lingxiao, Imperial Throne, or Heavenly Court realms, Lan Yutian went directly to the Five Supreme realms, comprehending the Innate Five Supremes, forming five great ore veins within the Ancestral Court divine treasury—Taiji, Taizu, Taishi, Taichu, and Taiyi!
If these five realms were cultivated to completion, one could advance further and cultivate the World Tree!
The World Tree was the Dao Tree of every cultivator of the new system, fully fused with the Dao Realm system.
As one's Dao Realm advanced layer by layer, layer upon layer of void would appear within the body's divine treasury, and the Dao imprints contained within the Dao Realm would reside therein. The World Tree would thereupon gradually become clear, gradually grow, and gradually mature.
When the Dao Realm reached the Thirty-Sixth Heaven, the World Tree would reach full maturity, transforming into the cultivator's Dao Tree!
However, Lan Yutian and Xu Shenghua had only comprehended up to this step when the Heavenly Court launched its great invasion, forcing their research to a halt. But presumably there were yet other realms beyond, such as the Dao Flower, the Dao Fruit, and so on.
Amid Lan Yutian's Dao tones, Shen Mu walked toward the Heavenly Court's main camp.
The Heavenly Court's great army was steadily advancing forward, and the main camp moved along with it. Ahead, scouts were constantly probing the way—these scouts flew in the sky, ran on the ground, swam through water, traveled beneath the earth, appearing and vanishing with uncanny stealth. From afar, a scout spotted Shen Mu.
His heart skipped a beat, and he was so frightened that he froze in place, not daring to move.
"You may go back and report to the Haotian Heavenly Venerable. Tell him the Seventh Young Master Shen Mu has arrived," Shen Mu said with a faint smile. The scout fled in a panic, making straight for the Heavenly Court's great army.
After a moment, the armies at the front of the Heavenly Court abruptly halted, each deploying one killing formation after another, standing ready in strict formation!
The commander of every army had sweat rolling down his forehead, drenching his back, yet none dared wipe it away. Instead they glared with eyes like brass bells, staring fixedly ahead, their spirits wound to the utmost tension.
In the sky, killing intent filled the heavens, leaving not a bird or beast for tens of thousands of li.
One after another, Holy Pupils emerged in the sky, rolling and tumbling through the air, shooting out beams of divine light in every direction, searching! The Holy Pupils in the sky ranged from those as vast as the sun and moon to those only a few mu in size.
