荒墟牧神 - 第1201章 倔到骨子裡 - 墨香閣

Heavenly Venerable Yue hesitated, then said: "Heavenly Venerable Fire asked me not to speak of it, but there should be no harm in telling you. He came about the matter of the Earth Mother Yuanjun."

Wei Suifeng said in astonishment: "The Earth Mother Yuanjun?"

"Heavenly Venerable Fire's meaning is that so long as the Earth Mother Yuanjun lives, the human race of the Yuan Realm will never know peace. The Northern Supreme Emperor is cruel precisely because the Earth Mother Yuanjun backs him."

Heavenly Venerable Yue said: "He wishes to join hands with me, to do something for the human race — to root out the Earth Mother Yuanjun."

Wei Suifeng frowned.

Heavenly Venerable Yue laughed: "Though Heavenly Venerable Fire went to aid Heavenly Venerable Hao, his character is not bad. He hates evil as a personal enemy and is bitterly hostile to the ancient gods; if it were a matter of destroying an ancient god, he would certainly be the first to charge to the front."

"To destroy the mighty of the human race, he is likewise the first to charge to the front." Shen Mu's voice came suddenly.

Heavenly Venerable Yue hurriedly looked toward him, and saw that Shen Mu's body was still a body of energy, with only his head grown out.

The reason he had restored his head first was in order to open the primordial fetus divine treasury; his spirit fetus was in the midst of taking form.

Heavenly Venerable Yue laughed: "Mu, you look rather odd now, a great big head atop a column of light. Best not to let your attention wander — press on with your cultivation. As for this matter of Heavenly Venerable Fire, it should be fairly safe, for besides Heavenly Venerable Fire, our human race has another mighty one."

She was quite delighted: "This man is Heavenly Venerable Cloud's prized disciple, Xiao Weisu! He has grown into the mightiest being in the world today, and he was also the first Supreme Emperor."

Shen Mu frowned deeply. Xiao Weisu — in later ages, Heavenly Venerable Xiao — was none other than the reincarnation of the ancient god Heavenly Emperor!

If Heavenly Venerable Fire still had a shred of conscience and considered the human race, then Xiao Weisu was thoroughly and utterly harboring evil designs!

"Junior brother!"

Wei Suifeng's face suddenly changed and he shouted: "Do not let your attention wander!"

Shen Mu came to his senses and at once realized that in his distraction he had nearly failed in opening his divine treasury; he hastily gathered his mind.

Seeing that he was still in peril, Heavenly Venerable Yue said hurriedly: "Go on with your work. I will go consult Sister Ling and the other masters of the human race. Heavenly Venerable Fire and Xiao Weisu are already urging us to act..."

"Wait."

Shen Mu called her back: "Though I cannot divide my attention or my spirit, I have at least recovered some of my cultivation of divine consciousness. Yue, I am well versed in entering the Dao through dreams..."

Heavenly Venerable Yue said in surprise: "Is that not the Great Monk's art?"

Shen Mu said: "My entering the Dao through dreams differs from his. His entering the Dao in dreams means that reality is his dream; he undergoes reality within the dream, passes through all the red dust of the world, and tempers his Dao heart. Mine is a divine ability of deduction: I simulate reality within the dream and seek the best solution among ten thousand possibilities."

Heavenly Venerable Yue was about to speak when suddenly the heaven and earth around them gradually changed, and Shen Mu walked toward her.

She was astonished to see that Shen Mu's fleshly body had already been restored — a youth of heroic spirit, handsome and full of wisdom.

Behind his head a divine radiance wheeled like a disc, and his frame was tall and powerfully built.

"The me you see is not the true me."

That Shen Mu spoke, his voice grown resonant and full of charm: "It is the me in your imagination, and it may not be the same as the true me. This place is already within your dream."
