The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 5
After a moment the God-Emperor Langxuan sighed. "Heavenly Venerable Mu, let us each set forth what we have understood and exchange it with the other.
" Shen Mu nodded hastily, his face a little red, and offered in his own defense, "My cultivation art and divine abilities can also swiftly restore the Heavenly Palace after it is destroyed, only my art is not the same as the Treatise on the Creation of the Heavenly Palace.
Still, by drawing inferences from one thing to another, we can exchange ideas well enough.
" The God-Emperor Langxuan said with a blank face, "Indeed, indeed. Heavenly Venerable Mu, who founded his Dao upon divine abilities, is formidable beyond measure. " The two each set forth their own insights and exchanged them; Shen Mu's mind was nimble, and Langxuan was, after all, a Heavenly Venerable, one of the rare clever men under heaven.
To become one of the Ten Heavenly Venerables, having endured the grinding of time and its winnowing, his wisdom was naturally no small thing.
Working together, they soon solved the difficult problems in the Treatise on the Creation of the Heavenly Palace.
The more they spoke, the more excited they became; drawing inferences across categories, they even discovered deficiencies in the Treatise, and their discussion grew ever more fervent.
The flagship had by now come to Yaochi and descended. The divine general guarding the ship hurried over to report, and found the God-Emperor Langxuan and Shen Mu in the midst of discoursing on the Dao, the two Heavenly Venerables both in high spirits, each taking up what the other said, even setting to work to evolve all manner of glyphs; it was a fierce affair. The divine general did not dare disturb them and hastily withdrew, doubt in his heart.
"My master always calls Heavenly Venerable Mu 'Shen the Disaster', and more than once has said that when this fellow came to the Heavenly Court he smashed his divine palace and killed untold numbers of disciples.
He even forced his most valued disciple, senior brother Chang Xiting, to flee the Heavenly Court. Why is master now so in accord with him? " The God-Emperor Langxuan and Shen Mu discussed for two or three days and at last comprehended the Treatise on the Creation of the Heavenly Palace completely, and moreover, building upon it, developed several hundred different divine abilities, each of extraordinary power.
Nor was that all: the two of them also sorted out five different Creation cultivation arts.
Though the foundation of these arts was a notch inferior to the Emperor Throne arts, if one kept delving deeper along these five lines and raised their foundation, in time five Emperor Throne arts might well be born from them.
The two of them still could not stop; sitting there discoursing on the Dao, Langxuan simply tossed out all his doubts at once and studied them together with Shen Mu.
He had not been so excited in a long while; there was a feeling of some latent potential being triggered, as though he had returned to the green years of the early Longhan epoch, with all manner of unknowns awaiting his exploration and development. Their study went deeper and deeper, and scores of days later they were still discussing with fiery zeal, their spirits weary yet still excited.
