"If a clash with an existence like Long Xiao can be avoided, then by all means avoid it.
" Shen Mu could not help but feel a measure of worry. Long Xiao was too powerful; when the Earth Mother Yuanjun summoned him, those nine heads had blotted out the sky, a sight truly awe-inspiring, and Shen Mu had no wish at all to offend such a mighty being.
He pressed on, following the trail of Shu Jun's soul.
Shu Jun's soul aura grew ever clearer, and Shen Mu's spirits soared; his sense of Shu Jun likewise sharpened, until now he could pinpoint Shu Jun's exact location. "Alive after all!
" Shen Mu relaxed a little.
He sensed that many others were with Shu Jun, and they must be Lan Yutian, Xu Shenghua, the First Ancestor and the rest.
So long as these people still lived, he had a way to first get them out of the reverse side of the Ancestral Court, and then plan at leisure.
Whoosh — Shen Mu led the others' divine consciousness in a mighty surge, and soon they drew near Shu Jun and his companions.
Once close enough, he could at once weave a summoning divine ability with his divine consciousness and sweep Shu Jun and the rest away in one go, summoning them to the Great Black Mountain! Just then, Shu Jun's divine consciousness abruptly brushed against Shen Mu's, and in that single instant Shu Jun understood his purpose.
His divine consciousness filled with panic: "Heavenly Venerable Mu, go, quickly —" Shen Mu was briefly startled, puzzled by his meaning, and was about to ask when Shu Jun's divine consciousness rippled violently: "Long Xiao is here, he has trapped us all! He noticed you long ago, and is waiting for you to walk into the net!
" Shen Mu was aghast, and without hesitation withdrew his divine consciousness! Suddenly the void quaked violently, and a dreadfully terrifying wave of divine consciousness cut across in the very instant Shen Mu's and Shu Jun's consciousness touched, separating the two!
Divine consciousness has no substance, being only awareness and thought, yet this fearsome consciousness was as though solid, like a mountain range spanning heaven and earth, barring the way before Shen Mu and the others.
Shua — A radiance of incomparable brilliance shone forth, and Wei Suifeng, Granny Zhu, Crown Prince Youming and the rest felt their own consciousness and thought begin to melt away swiftly, like ice and snow beneath a blazing sun. They seemed to behold a sight at once supremely magnificent and supremely terrifying: nine dragon heads filling heaven and earth crammed their consciousness's field of vision, causing their consciousness to crumble and dissolve without cease!
Long Xiao, that dread ancient creature whose strength approached the Great Emperor's, merely by letting his divine consciousness surge forth, left them unable to withstand it! "The Great Luo Supreme Divine Consciousness!
" Shen Mu's imitation of the Great Emperor's supreme divine consciousness domain erupted.
The domain unfurled, and at once everything became immeasurably slow, as though time itself were congealing! Long Xiao's terrifying consciousness was affected as well; the process of its invading his supreme divine consciousness domain was stretched out infinitely, so that it could not destroy their consciousness in one breath!
Of course, time did not truly exist there; this was merely an illusion wrought by the supreme divine consciousness domain, the suppression the domain imposed upon an intruder's consciousness. The pressure was mutual.
Shen Mu's supreme divine consciousness domain was only a false supreme divine consciousness domain; his Dao of divine consciousness had not been cultivated to the Great Emperor's level. Even as he restrained Long Xiao's invasion, his own burden swelled violently!
His supreme divine consciousness domain gave off crackling reports; one horrifying crack after another appeared in the void of the domain, and the pressure was such that cracks appeared in his very consciousness!
