Chapter 1436 — I Know Your Body Better Than You Do
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
" "We will not forget," said the Taiji ancient gods in the egg, male voice and female voice layered together. "With those words from you two, I am at ease. " Shen Mu stepped back, shot a glance at the Empress, turned and departed, saying, "Empress, I will wait for you outside. " Her Majesty the Empress looked straight through him and asked, "Daoist brother, when do you wish to emerge?
" The Taiji ancient gods were somewhat surprised that Shen Mu had left, but what followed concerned whether the two of them could emerge at all, so they paid it no mind. "Our strength is not enough to break the eggshell.
Therefore we ask the Empress to act, to cleave the eggshell open and help us emerge.
And now the Ancestral Court is likely not far from chaos; the sooner we emerge, the better.
" "Good!
" Her Majesty the Empress turned and walked out of the lode, saying, "My true body will arrive shortly.
By then I will need you two to help me open Guixu and bring Guixu to the mining ground. I need to borrow the power of the Twin Lotuses to break the eggshell. " The Taiji ancient gods said hurriedly, "Rest assured, Empress. Such small arts are within my means. But Daoist Lord Mu.
.
. " "His affairs need not trouble you two. You promised not to move against him, but this palace made no such promise.
" Her Majesty the Empress's figure vanished from the lode and entered the swirling sands of the Taiji Star Domain. Shen Mu had gone toward the other half of the Taiji Star Domain, where white sand danced through the heavens.
Her Majesty's figure soon vanished into the depths of the white sand, and her voice came from far away.
"A person's worth lies in knowing himself, in knowing the height of heaven and the depth of earth. When this palace gives her word, not even a team of four horses can overtake it. If I say I will make him fill the sea eye, then he will fill the sea eye!
If I say I will suppress him for a hundred years, then he will be suppressed for a hundred years! " The Taiji ancient gods in the egg sighed. "Daoist Lord Mu was able to survive in a place as perilous as the Great Blackwood, which shows his own cultivation is no small thing.
There is no need to worry overmuch about him.
" The female voice in the egg said, "Moreover, he threatened us and forced us to hand over one primal stone and a hundred divine stones. That he is suppressed for a hundred years is only fitting.
" The male voice in the egg said, "What you say is reasonable. But that he could survive at the Great Blackwood shows he has already won the recognition of that Daoist brother.
That is something we cannot fail to weigh; we must give that Daoist brother some face, at least. Besides. .
. " He pondered a moment and said, "I sensed the aura of Daoist brother Taishi upon him.
For a moment just now, the fluctuations of Daoist brother Taishi's aura came from him.
" "You fret too much. " The female voice in the egg laughed. "To be wary of Daoist brother Taiyi is one thing, but what sense is there in being wary of Taishi? Taishi's fortune is thin, far thinner than ours. He was the second ancient god egg to be dug out, second only to Taichu, and he lacks even Taichu's luck. Taichu was more mature; though he emerged early, he also received the Creator's sacrifices, and so his strength is great and his authority is great. What does Daoist brother Taishi have?
After he was dug out he was suppressed by Taichu.
Even if he has thrown in his lot with Daoist Lord Mu, Daoist Lord Mu is a figure of no consequence. " The male voice in the egg said, "After all, he came from the same Ancestral Court lode, conceived by the five primordial great Daos.
He is not to be slighted. " "Taishi is far from the Dao; we are much closer to it than he. If we look before and behind us at every step, we will find it hard to attain the Dao. There is no need for so much worry.
" The female voice in the egg said, "With Taishi's help, even if he is suppressed in Guixu he will not die.
