Only after the boat had left the Dao Tree's sphere did she hurriedly ask the woman in the Dao Fruit what she had said to that person. The woman did not answer.
Qiang Tianfei frowned. Shen Mu said abruptly, "Just now she was saying, Fourth Young Master, these two are both guests of the master of Miluo Palace, no need to stop them.
" Qiang Tianfei's heart skipped a beat.
Shen Mu went on, "The Fourth Young Master then looked at the boat beneath our feet and said that the owner of this cane had beaten him once, knocking him into the kalpa of destruction and badly damaging his cultivation and strength. He could not leave that revenge unfulfilled.
But since these two were guests of the Miluo Palace master, he would let them pass. " Qiang Tianfei sighed in relief and smiled.
"Mu Tianzun's mastery of the Dao language is not weak after all.
You can even understand the Dao-language conversations of Dao achievers. " The woman in the Dao Fruit glanced at Shen Mu and sneered, "Of course he can understand. How could he not understand. .
. " The prehistoric Dao achievers who surfaced from the inner long rivers of chaos retained greater and greater power, and their Dao Trees were better preserved, their Dao Fruits fuller.
The perils Qiang Tianfei and Shen Mu faced grew fewer, yet the danger grew greater. Fortunately, all along the way, the woman in the Dao Fruit stepped forward and made the obstructors fall back.
From her conversations with those obstructors, Shen Mu learned that these blockers had all been knocked down by Taiyi's cane. Now that they met this cane again, they came up from the river to take revenge. They were Dao achievers who had survived many kalpas of destruction, with enormous cultivation and strength.
When Taiyi crossed the river, they blocked him and got a beating.
"Taiyi really is fierce. . .
" Before they knew it, they reached the thirteenth long river of chaos. On the little boat, Shen Mu still had the appearance of a youth, unchanged, while Qiang Tianfei had become white-haired and withered, an old crone with hands like chicken claws, clutching the two God-Slaying Mystic Sabers in a death grip.
Her gaze never left Shen Mu, and she dared not relax for an instant.
Here, the perils they encountered grew fewer, but for Qiang Tianfei the greatest peril was not from the river. It was from the boat. Shen Mu was now in his prime, while she was old and weak; her own Great Dao was collapsing, and her cultivation and strength were declining every moment. It had been two years since they came to these long rivers of chaos and tried to cross.
Two years was enough to age a Heavenly Venerable to this extent! Just now, one more tooth had fallen out, and she swallowed it, not daring to spit it out.
Because the moment she opened her mouth, Shen Mu would see how few teeth she had left. Then he would notice her weakness and make his move.
She no longer had enough confidence that she could take Shen Mu down with her, so she did not dare let him perceive how far her weakness had gone. Shen Mu took no notice of her.
He slowed the boat instead and looked into the long river of chaos.
The thirteenth long river of chaos was the great kalpa of destruction of the Fourth Universe. "It was into this very kalpa that Taiyi was struck down!
" The vertical eye in Shen Mu's brow searched bit by bit for Taiyi's whereabouts in that catastrophe. According to what Shujun and Wei Suifeng had described, Taiyi fought the master of Miluo Palace and could not win.
While escorting them in flight to this place, he was struck down by the master and fell into the river.
In other words, Taiyi fell into the great kalpa of destruction of the Fourth Universe!
Sailing from one bank of this long river to the far shore, one could see the entire course of Taiyi's fall into the river and his survival of the kalpa of destruction.
