Chapter 1485 — Who Can Match His Peerless Divine Soul
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 1 of 4
There was not the slightest trace of injury in Palace Heavenly Venerable's heavenly palace, nor any sign of decline in her aura; there was no wound upon her body either, and her primordial spirit was whole and undamaged. Kai Huang's attempt to kill Palace Heavenly Venerable had been at Shen Mu's instigation.
Had Palace Heavenly Venerable truly been gravely wounded by Kai Huang, without the medical mastery of a pill master, there was no way she could have recovered so quickly.
Shen Mu opened the vertical eye at the center of his brow and scrutinized Palace Heavenly Venerable, and at once he perceived the mystery.
Palace Heavenly Venerable's body harbored hidden dangers of every kind, like sword wounds — scars left by Kai Huang's sword dao, no doubt — yet someone had used a strange power to erase these dao wounds, restoring her body to its original condition.
But Palace Heavenly Venerable had, after all, cultivated diligently for a million years; her physical body was incomparably powerful. Though that person had repaired her flesh and erased the sword-dao scars left by Kai Huang, they could not restore her body to its strongest state.
Not only that, but Palace Heavenly Venerable's thirty-five heavenly palaces were likewise filled with traces of having been patched and mended; these repaired places were not as powerful as the rest. The same was true of Palace Heavenly Venerable's primordial spirit! Kai Huang's strikes had been ruthlessly vicious — he had come within a hair's breadth of burying Palace Heavenly Venerable with his sword dao!
Shen Mu's vertical brow-eye was the most powerful sacred pupil in the world today, with the Horn of Tubo as its iris, the Heavenly Duke's Dao-of-Heaven crystal filling its anterior chamber, the Primordial Stone of the Taiji as its pupil, and the chaotic eggshell of Taiyi as its retina. The Heavenly Duke and Tubo themselves had infused it with the Dao of Heaven and the Great Dao of Youdu, forging and empowering his sacred pupil, and dew from the Taiyi Dao Tree had been dripped into the eye as well.
Never mind seeing through Palace Heavenly Venerable — even if the Heavenly Duke and Tubo stood before Shen Mu, he could easily perceive the operational structures of the Dao of Heaven and the Great Dao of Youdu.
To perceive the secrets of Palace Heavenly Venerable's primordial spirit, physical body, and heavenly palaces was but a trivial exercise for him.
"In all the world, those capable of accomplishing such a feat — apart from Grandpa Pill Master and myself — number only Taisu. " Shen Mu understood clearly in his heart: "Grandpa Pill Master relies on the medical dao.
My medical dao is inferior, so I could only rely on the medical dao, the dao of creation, and the Unchanging Divine Power, supplemented by the daos of Taisu and Taishi, to heal the sword wounds Kai Huang left behind. If Grandpa Pill Master and I joined hands to treat her, no hidden dangers would remain. But the Taisu Goddess requires that Palace Heavenly Venerable have a request of her, that she kneel and worship her — and that carries enormous hidden peril.
" He saw it with perfect clarity: Palace Heavenly Venerable appeared to have recovered to a state of flawless perfection, but where there is a request, there must be a loss — Taisu could return those sword wounds to her at any moment!
Palace Heavenly Venerable's life and death could be said to rest entirely in Taisu's hands!
"It must be the same with Hao Heavenly Venerable, surely? His injuries in those years were even graver than Palace Heavenly Venerable's! " What worried him even more was that the mineral vein Palace Heavenly Venerable controlled was precisely the Taisu mineral vein! With Palace Heavenly Venerable in her grasp, Taisu had effectively gained the Taisu mineral vein; and gaining the Taisu mineral vein meant gaining the Taisu divine stones and the Taisu primordial stones!
