Chapter 974 — The Supreme Beyond the Clouds
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 5
He set it all down, and that something in his heart gradually shed away as well, turning into a wisp of melancholy that lingered and would not disperse. This melancholy was not the sorrow deep within his soul, but rather a grief that seemed to come from the end of the great path.
The Tai Emperor's altar drifted quietly past the Fire Heavenly Venerable, sailing toward the Tai Emperor's brow.
Luo Wushuang glanced back at the Fire Heavenly Venerable, fallen behind them, and could not resist saying, "Shen the Tyrant Body, you are avoiding the Fire Heavenly Venerable. Should we not rescue the Fire Heavenly Venerable first?
" Yue Tingge had noticed this too: Shen Mu clearly intended to skirt around the Fire Heavenly Venerable, who was struggling onward, and reach the Tai Emperor's brow ahead of him.
Shen Mu laughed.
"Rest easy, the Fire Heavenly Venerable won't die.
Isn't that right, Fire Heavenly Venerable? "
The Fire Heavenly Venerable's body was frozen in place, the runes of the great path all around him still gradually changing, and he turned a deaf ear to their words.
"He has no objection," Shen Mu said. Luo Wushuang's eye twitched twice, and he looked back at the Fire Heavenly Venerable.
Shen Mu consoled him: "Rest easy, rest easy.
It was hard for the Fire Heavenly Venerable to get in, but getting out is easy—he need only turn himself around, and in a few hundred years he can leave this place.
"
Luo Wushuang was exasperated: "Could it be that the Mu Heavenly Venerable fears that after saving the Fire Heavenly Venerable, he will return kindness with enmity and kill you?
"
Shen Mu said calmly, "Whether he kills me, I cannot say for certain.
But he will certainly kill Yue Tingge, the Yue Heavenly Master. Isn't that right, Yue Heavenly Master?
"
Yue Tingge sighed, listless and dispirited.
"I lured him and the Xu Heavenly Venerable to this place, and got him trapped in the Supreme Divine Consciousness domain for so long. He will most likely make a move against me.
"
The altar drifted unsteadily into the space between the Tai Emperor's brows. Within the Tai Emperor's brow there was no Primordial Stone of the Great Beginning, only a diamond-shaped wound remaining.
This place was enormous, exceedingly vast; from within the Tai Emperor's brain gushed a captivating radiance, like colored clouds, in streaks and bands beyond number.
The Tai Emperor's altar flew into layer upon layer of cloud-glow, and the Tai Emperor's Seal ceaselessly drew in the cloud-glow; the cloud-glow surged over like the tide, and dimly, amidst the layered cloud-glow, a figure could be seen sitting.
Yue Tingge and Luo Wushuang were filled with doubt, and looked toward Shen Mu. Shen Mu suppressed the surge of emotion in his heart, drew a long breath, and said in a low voice, "Yue Heavenly Master, Luo Divine Blade, can the two of you move a Heavenly Venerable's physical body?
"
The two were greatly shaken, and looked in disbelief at the figure seated motionless within the radiance.
The Tai Emperor's altar finally came to the side of the one within the cloud-glow. Luo Wushuang scrutinized the man in the radiance: his bearing was graceful and elegant, his features fair and handsome, his temperament transcendent and unearthly, like a middle-aged emperor, yet most comely.
Only, Luo Wushuang did not recognize him, and thought to himself: "Could this be some Supreme Emperor?
But from what Shen the Tyrant Body means, he should be a Heavenly Venerable. Which Heavenly Venerable, then, died here? "
Yue Tingge was greatly shaken, and said in a low voice, "He is the Yun Heavenly Venerable… "
Hearing this, Luo Wushuang's mind roared, and he cried out involuntarily, "He is the pioneer of the Divine Bridge and the Divine Treasury, the Yun Heavenly Venerable? "
Shen Mu urged them: "You two, my magic power cannot move his body.
Best that you do it.
"
