"The Grand Emperor has come?
" Shen Mu was briefly taken aback, then smiled. "You fear the Grand Emperor will seize the Void Mother Beast, and through it take command of every Void Beast?
" Long Qilin nodded again and again. "I was just now about to raid the fleet that bears the Ancestral God King's treasure. I caught sight of the Ancestral God King and fled at once; but in that moment I felt a divine consciousness vast as a sea of mist come chasing after me, and it nearly took hold of the Void Beasts. So I drove the Void Beasts in flight, dodging through layer upon layer of Void, and only thus did I shake that consciousness off. " Shen Mu mused a while, then asked, "You are saying that you drove the Void Beasts and shook that consciousness off?
" Long Qilin nodded. "Then that man was not the Grand Emperor.
" Shen Mu sank into thought.
"The Grand Emperor's divine consciousness is the strongest there has ever been.
If he wished to seize the Void Mother Beast back, then never mind you — even if God King Langwo and I joined hands, we could not guard it. " Long Qilin was perplexed. "That man's divine consciousness was incomparably overbearing.
I was riding the Void Mother Beast then, and it held myriads of Void Beasts under its will, and all of them shrieked together. Even the consciousness of so many Void Beasts combined could not stand against that man — it broke at the first touch. How could such overbearing consciousness not be the Grand Emperor's? " Shen Mu shook his head. "Even if that man's consciousness is so overbearing, it is still far, far inferior to the Grand Emperor's.
The Grand Emperor has now obtained a portion of the Taichu Primordial Stone; the strength of his consciousness is such that never mind myriads of Void Beasts — even the consciousness of the Ten Heavenly Venerables joined as one could not contend with it! As for the one who struck, I know now who he is. I never thought he would not remain in the Celestial Court, but come here too. " A strange expression crossed his face. Long Qilin was baffled. "The son of Heavenly Venerable Gong and of the Heavenly Emperor Taichu, God Emperor Langxuan, has already arrived at the Ancestral Court.
" Shen Mu paced to and fro, studying the Void Mother Beast beside him.
"As a God King among the Creators and a son of the Heavenly Emperor Taichu, God Emperor Langxuan's attainments in divine consciousness are not to be slighted.
The aim of his journey must be this Void Mother Beast.
Langxuan is, after all, the most ancient of God Emperors, and of the Heavenly Emperor's own blood; he will not be content to rank beneath Heavenly Venerable Hao. " He lifted his head. The Void Mother Beast's eyelids rolled back, and it bared its teeth at him, a whole mouth of keen fangs. Shen Mu was unperturbed, and went on: "Heavenly Venerable Hao has taken a grievous wound — this is God Emperor Langxuan's grand opportunity! In cultivation Langxuan is of course no match for Heavenly Venerable Hao; but if he once takes the Void Mother Beast in hand, then he holds the whole tribe of Void Beasts in hand. Such power would be terrible beyond words!
" He spoke decisively: "With the Mother Beast, he is the mightiest force in this world; only Long Xiao could stand against him! And his aim is, after subduing the Void Beasts, to go to the dark side of the Ancestral Court and subdue Long Xiao!
By then it will be as though two Heavenly Venerables fought at his side — what other Heavenly Venerable would dare defy him? " Long Qilin let out a breath. "Thank goodness the Void Mother Beast was not snatched away by God Emperor Langxuan. " Shen Mu smiled faintly. "Long Pi, you truly have grown up.
