The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 1 of 3
Aboard the ghost ship, Wei Suifeng's face was grave. He examined the damage to Shen Mu's mind, then his ten fingers flew, tapping swiftly in succession, sealing Shen Mu's soul and spirit-fetus with the Seven Chapters of Creation from the Great Nurturing Dark Demon Scripture, lest spirit and soul leave the body. Then his form abruptly became a tiny shadow, and with a swish it entered the Primordial Fetus Divine Treasury between Shen Mu's brows.
The Great Nurturing Dark Demon Scripture was the art he had comprehended from the scripture the Woodcutter Sage had transmitted upon the stone; the masters of the Heavenly Sage Cult down through the ages had all cultivated the arts he passed down.
The transformation of the body into a black shadow was called the Shadow-Transforming Demon Art; besides that art there was also the Mirror Image Art, whereby the body could become a mirror image. Wei Suifeng came to Shen Mu's Primordial Fetus Divine Treasury and looked around, and his heart was startled, for Shen Mu's treasury was utterly unlike anyone else's, vast and boundless, like the primordial cosmos.
"No wonder our junior brother is so powerful! " He had no time for close study; he saw that Shen Mu's Primordial Fetus Divine Treasury was collapsing, the heavenly signs in chaos, the earthly order overturned, ruin and subsidence on every side, the yin and yang, the four phases, the five elements, the seven stars, all in utter disarray.
"Heavenly Dipper Dao Art! " Wei Suifeng cried softly, and raised up his heavenly palace, steadying the surging earth, water, wind, and fire, pacifying the earthly order; with a wave of his hand the heavenly signs ceased their turmoil and the host of stars returned to their stations.
Then he divided yin and yang and settled the five elements, and at last kept Shen Mu's injuries from worsening.
Suddenly he saw a great gaping wound within Shen Mu's Primordial Fetus Divine Treasury, the scar left behind by a great spear that had pierced through this place. "What a fearsome blow! " Awe seized Wei Suifeng.
He erased the divine ability hidden in that spear scar, and only then breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Mu's spirit-fetus and soul were in tatters, his heavenly palaces ruined and desolate, his spirit-fetus and soul barely clinging to life. Wei Suifeng frowned; injuries of this kind lay beyond his power to heal.
Shen Mu's divine sense stirred, his breath as faint as a gossamer thread: "Eldest senior brother, a jade bottle hangs at the Dragon Qilin's neck, and within it is Primal Chaos Essence Liquid.
. .
" Wei Suifeng hurriedly flew out from his divine treasury, took down the Gourd-Heaven Bottle hanging at the Dragon Qilin's neck, flew inside, drew out some Primal Chaos Essence Liquid and set it in a great golden vat, then soaked Shen Mu's head in the vat.
"Great Cult Master Wei seems to have poured in far too much essence liquid.
. .
" The Dragon Qilin glanced at the liquid in the vat and thought, "He likely does not know that this Primal Chaos Essence Liquid is meant for watering the body of the Earth Mother Primordial Sovereign.
Pouring in so much, surely nothing will go wrong? " Shen Mu's head began to absorb the Primal Chaos Essence Liquid.
His Primordial Fetus Divine Treasury seemed to stir a fresh act of creation; the shattered stars recovered one after another, the broken taiji diagram was swiftly restored, sun and moon resumed their courses, sundered mountains thrust up from the earth, sweet rain fell from the heavens, and phantom figures of ancient gods came back to life. Shen Mu's spirit-fetus and soul too were swiftly recovering, flesh and blood regrowing apace. Wei Suifeng clutched the Gourd-Heaven Bottle, ready at any moment to add more Primal Chaos Essence Liquid to the vat.
He watched the liquid dwindle bit by bit, and for every bit it dwindled he added a little more.
