The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 3
This white cat, Xiao Qi, was a handsome man of the Heavenly Court, the paramour of Heavenly Consort Yan; that Consort Yan had now released the white cat made her purpose plain enough, to hunt down Heavenly Venerable Xiao!
"Vicious shrew, cruel indeed, to send her lover to kill me!
" The Heavenly Emperor's two souls fled swiftly.
The sky grew brighter still.
It was daylight now, yet in broad daylight countless stars surfaced in the heavens, and upon those myriad stars stood one god after another, right hand raised to the brow, gazing out over the Yuan Realm. Those gods were the Heavenly Court generals who guarded the star charts, many of them commanders of the Heavenly Eye God Clan; now even these gods had been sent forth!
The Heavenly Emperor's two souls sank as though into an abyss.
Whoever could mobilize every god of the entire Heaven Chart must be one of the Ten Heavenly Venerables. "When the wall falls, everyone gives it a push; now that I, Heavenly Venerable Xiao, am exiled, all these fellows have come to shove at the wall!
" The Heavenly Emperor's two souls clung to a tree, when suddenly the mournful cry of "Da Hong, Da Hong" sounded from the sky, and a giant azure bird beat its wings in flight, like a floating continent.
"Since when did that old good fellow Heavenly Venerable Hong become so zealous?
" The Heavenly Emperor's two souls raged, yet there was nothing to be done; only after Heavenly Venerable Hong had flown far away did they continue onward, thinking, "I must reincarnate as quickly as I can.
My divine soul and earth soul are wounded now, and I must find a young body in which to hide the aura of my souls. " The Land of Exile, the Space of Chaos.
Heavenly Venerable Xiao fell with the Yuan Wood into the labyrinth of that space, where fragments of universes, great and small, shattered and broken, collided on every side; he stood at the center of that chaotic space and could not see its whole extent.
Had he stood outside that chaotic space and been able to peer into its depths, he would have seen upon its outer edge a suspended realm. That was the territory of the remnant clan of Chiming, the strange fold of time and space formed from the fleshly body of the Crimson Emperor.
