Chapter 1247 — The Yin Lord's Art of Reincarnation
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 1 of 3
The divine generals of the Nether Capital chosen by Hu Mengdie, Yin Jiuzun, and Yu Wufei were all among the mightiest beings of the Northern Heaven, deep in cultivation, every one of them at the Yujing or Lingxiao realm. The three of them, too, were of exceedingly high strength; among all the heavens of the Northern Heaven, they could be called the strongest.
The Yin Son of Heaven appointed men by favour alone — those about him were all trusted intimates, and these he took care to raise and nurture; but any man who was not his intimate he would not trouble to cultivate.
Hence other generals, even those of heaven-granted genius, were never entrusted with weighty command. Hu Mengdie glanced at Yin Jiuzun and Yu Wufei, her eyes flickering: "Yin Jiuzun is the Master's son, and Yu Wufei is the Master's beloved consort, while I am only a disciple.
If the contest were a fair one, it would be another matter, but a fair contest is utterly impossible!
If I join hands with them to kill the Heavenly Venerable Mu, the credit will surely be theirs, and none of it mine! " At this thought she spoke swiftly: "They say the Heavenly Venerable Mu is cautious by nature; on this journey he will surely conceal his tracks. Let us each take a road of our own and hunt for his whereabouts. " With that she led several Nether Capital generals into the air and was gone.
Yu Wufei laughed. "Mengdie speaks sense.
The Heavenly Venerable Mu is a mere child, but the man is full of tricks, and his talent for saving his own skin is first rate. If we move together, he will surely slip away from us; but if we split up, our chances of success are doubled. " Yin Jiuzun laughed.
"The Consort is right.
We shall act separately, then. " Yu Wufei departed with the divine generals under her command, thinking, "The Yin Son of Heaven dotes more on his son, and those new consorts are now favoured above me. If I cannot secure this merit, whether I can even hold my place in the inner palace is doubtful.
" Yin Jiuzun watched them go into the far distance, sneering again and again, then turned back into the pass and bowed to the Yin Son of Heaven: "Father, the Heavenly Venerable Mu's methods are formidable; I fear I am no match for him. I beg Father to grant me a treasure for my protection.
" The Yin Son of Heaven could not help laughing. "Worthy of being my son — sharper than outsiders like disciples and consorts. The Heavenly Venerable Mu is indeed of uncommon divine power, and his methods are high.
I shall give you a treasure to subdue him. " So saying, he brought out a bell and handed it to Yin Jiuzun. "This is a rare treasure I refined when I attained the Way; it is called the Bell of Reincarnation.
In former days my hopes were too vast. I wished to refine the Nether Capital Heavenly Gate, to command reincarnation and all the other great Ways alike, and so become a Heavenly Venerable. But my skill fell a notch short, and I could never refine the Nether Capital Heavenly Gate. " The Yin Son of Heaven instructed him: "Afterward I took the pain to heart and turned my whole mind to the Way of Reincarnation, and at last attained the Way, cultivated the Imperial Throne, and sat in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
My Way gathered and condensed, and this treasure was refined.
My designs are very great. When this treasure sounds once, all who hear it fall into reincarnation, with no rebirth for them!
Carry my treasure with you, and one stroke of the bell will bring down the Heavenly Venerable Mu, and you shall take the first merit.
" Overjoyed beyond measure, Yin Jiuzun hurriedly put the Bell of Reincarnation away, knocked his head to the ground in thanks, rose, walked out of the great pass, and led his generals off in haste.
Shen Mu traveled through the Youdu of the Great Void. From the Youdu of the Great Void it was very convenient to reach the garrison of the Heavenly Court; the Great Void was vast, and travel through the Youdu made it the more convenient.
