The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
Hao Tianzun was unconcerned. He laughed.
"Both Tianfei and the Divine Emperor and Palace Master Shi have all rendered great merit; since that is so, a share of Xuandu's spoils shall be given to each of you. Xu Tianzun and Xiao Tianzun did not come, so there is no need to consider them. " Shi Qiluo snorted coldly, hauling his own lower half into place and trying to reattach it, and murmured, "Unfilial son.
. . " Hao Tianzun raised an eyebrow and said nothing.
Fire Tianzun bowed. "Everyone, I will take not a hairsbreadth of Xuandu's spoils.
There is still a matter in the Heavenly Court that must be dealt with; I must hurry back!
" Hao Tianzun nodded and smiled. "Go, then. Take care on the road.
" Fire Tianzun took his leave and departed in a streak of firelight. Meanwhile, in the Tianyin Realm, Lady Tianyin was carefully shaping a little clay figure, and its appearance was exactly that of Lord Heaven.
Lady Tianyin's body was vast, and the little clay figure she shaped was the size of an ordinary man.
"My lady's craftsmanship is truly fine. " Shen Mu studied the little clay figure Lady Tianyin had shaped and smiled.
"It truly resembles him.
Who would have thought — Tianyin is the shadow Xuandu's light cannot reach, the dark side of Xuandu, and yet my lady is Lord Heaven's savior.
" Lady Tianyin said with delight, "You still know how to flatter. In truth, I am only a little deft of hand.
" She blew a soft breath, and the little clay figure came alive out of the clay.
Shen Mu stretched out his palm; his five fingers danced and became the divine art of Creation, touching the clay figure, and at once it turned from clay to flesh and blood.
Shen Mu raised his hand, and the vertical eye at the center of his brow opened. He touched its pupil lightly with his fingertip; the pupil split, and a drop of the crystalline lens of Lord Heaven's heavenly eye flowed out. Shen Mu placed that drop of crystal at the clay figure's brow and roused his Way arts; it became an eye and burrowed between the clay figure's brows.
Lady Tianyin waited while he performed the Soul-Summoning Art; when the rite was done, the two of them joined hands to remake the soul, and Lord Heaven's three hun souls gradually took shape.
Hong Tianzun stood amid the light, a wavering shadow, and cried, "Mu Tianzun, I hold your IOU in my hand — you still owe me a favor! " "Where is the IOU? " Shen Mu asked, holding out his hand.
Hong Tianzun was taken aback. "It was smashed by that unfilial son, the Ancestor God King.
" "Only when the IOU is produced will I acknowledge it. Otherwise, with no proof, anyone at all could come asking me for favors.
" Shen Mu flicked a finger, and Hong Tianzun's soul shattered. Shen Mu drove Lord Heaven's other two hun souls into the clay figure's body; at once the clay Lord Heaven had a soul, and slowly opened his eyes.
Shen Mu smiled. "Congratulations, Lord Heaven — you have escaped the Way of Heaven and regained your freedom.
Lord Earth is waiting for you.
