Chapter 1429 — Primordial Qi, Roaming the Dao Together
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 4
This is one of my aspirations in becoming a Tianzun. I will certainly become the sovereign of the entire cosmos, and make the vast lands, the heavens and all worlds, the countless star domains, bow at my feet!
" His heroic aspiration surged from his chest; he pointed out the rivers and mountains, impassioned and vehement, unable to conceal his elation.
"Mu Tianzun, you have extraordinary talent. If you throw in your lot with me, I will certainly give you ample room to display it. I am not petty like Haotian Tianzun; I value you, and so I will naturally put you to good use! In the future, my realm will have a share for you! " Shen Mu did not answer.
The Dao-rhyme about him grew ever richer.
Suddenly Langxuan Divine Emperor felt something and turned to look, and his heart could not help but leap: Shen Mu had actually fallen into a wondrous state, dimly and indistinctly becoming one with the heaven-and-earth Great Dao of the Yao Pool and Yao Terrace! It was as though his whole being had melted into the Great Dao of the Yao Terrace. He was plainly standing there, his body right there, yet to Langxuan Divine Emperor he felt as heavy as the earth of the Ancestral Court, as vast as the Yao Sea!
He was like the heaven and earth Langxuan Divine Emperor had just been gazing at: there was the heaven, higher and farther; the sea, deeper and broader; the earth, thicker and heavier! He resonated and merged with the Great Dao of the Yao Pool and Yao Terrace; the Dao-rhyme that had been severed when he and Langxuan Divine Emperor had once comprehended together was now joined again! This time, he needed no connection to Langxuan's Dao-rhyme in comprehending the Dao; he could enter the state of entering the Dao on his own!
Unbelievable disbelief appeared on Langxuan Divine Emperor's face, and then that expression turned into the killing intent and envy hidden in his eyes. Shen Mu's aptitude was not much different from his own; last time, when the two had comprehended together and discussed the Dao together, so long as their vital breaths were linked they could enter the Dao at the same time, comprehend the mysteries of the Dao of the Great Beginning, and enter the realm of the Great Beginning Dao.
Only, that time both Langxuan and Shen Mu had misgivings, remembering that they were still enemies, not even friends, much less fellow seekers of the Dao. So they had taken the initiative to sever the path of entering the Dao, refusing to let the other succeed.
And now Langxuan Divine Emperor himself found it hard to enter the Dao, while Shen Mu had already picked up the thread and entered the state of entering the Dao! "Why is it he who has obtained this opportunity, and not I?
" The killing intent in his eyes grew ever fiercer, yet he forcibly suppressed it, and with a sudden stride walked off the Yao Terrace and flew down to the broken ends of the eight dragon veins.
The mine slaves and overseers had been resting all this time, enjoying a rare month and more of peace. Seeing Langxuan Divine Emperor, the crowd hurriedly kowtowed. Langxuan Divine Emperor swept his great sleeve and sneered, "Cut the eight dragon veins for me! " The overseers and mine slaves were baffled by his meaning and stood frozen where they were, dazed.
These eight dragon veins had with great difficulty been joined together, reviving the Yao Pool and letting it once again produce Hongmeng Yuan Liquid, making it one of the finest treasures of the Ancestral Court. Why was it that Mu Tianzun, that infamous Shen the Demolisher, had not demolished the Yao Pool, while Langxuan Divine Emperor, the very landlord, wished to destroy his own treasure?
Langxuan Divine Emperor was furious, murderous in his rage, and said in a harsh voice, "Are you all deaf?
Get over there and work!
" Only then did the overseers come to their senses.
They plied their divine whips and lashed the miners without a word, crying harshly, "Work! Work!
Strip those jade stones down for me!
