But Shen Mu did not set out with them at once. He waited several more days, until at last the Headman returned from Heavenly Venerable You, and brought the Alchemist back with him. "Heavenly Venerable You investigated nearly every soul in Jingping; that is why it took so long. " The Headman tossed a booklet to Shen Mu.
"These are the results of Heavenly Venerable You's investigation.
In it are all the divine-arts practitioners and gods of Jingping who might be the reincarnations of the ten Heavenly Venerables of the Heavenly Court, from the Jingping Calamity down to the present!
Alchemist, have some tea. " The two sat down and leisurely boiled water and brewed tea, glancing at Shen Mu from time to time. Shen Mu steadied himself, opened Heavenly Venerable You's booklet, and his expression gradually grew grave. The booklet was written in Heavenly Venerable You's hand.
The first few pages recorded the names of the ten Heavenly Venerables of the Heavenly Court: Hao, Xiao, Hong, Zu, Lang, Huo, Gong, Yan, Qiang, Xu. After each name were two or three possible reincarnations of that Heavenly Venerable!
Every Heavenly Venerable had reincarnated bodies of their own, even Heavenly Venerable Hong and Heavenly Venerable Huo, the fiercest resister of the reforms! Even Heavenly Venerable Xiao, two of whose reincarnations Shen Mu had already slain, now had a new reincarnation, also in Jingping, at present a babe only two or three months old! Of course, Heavenly Venerable You had noted in the booklet that these were only suspicions, not certainties, because these Heavenly Venerables possessed exceedingly powerful magic power, and nearly all of them were versed in the Great Dao of Youdu, so that even Heavenly Venerable You did not dare to be sure.
Moreover, there were those who deliberately laid false trails, seeking to blind Heavenly Venerable You's detection with other people. "These old schemers . . . " Shen Mu ground his teeth.
Then he saw that the booklet had a dozen or more pages after all, and could not help but start, and read on.
