The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
But for that very reason, he cannot leave this place. " Heavenly Venerable Xiao, Heavenly Venerable Hao, and the others exchanged glances, and all breathed a sigh of relief: "Taiyi cannot leave this place, so he cannot meddle in the affairs of the world.
So long as he does not oppose me, then in all the world there is no rival for me! " They sat beneath the cliff and contemplated with great care.
Meanwhile, Shen Mu returned to the main hall, his face troubled. Wei Suifeng saw it and asked, "Junior brother, you have fooled these Heavenly Venerables, so why then are you still anxious?
" "Unintentionally, I gave them a stroke of fortune, letting them comprehend the Hongmeng runes. " Shen Mu exhaled a breath of turbid air and said, "But I could not refrain from displaying the Hongmeng runes, or I could not have held them in check.
" Wei Suifeng laughed: "The Dao-patterns of Miluo Palace are incomparably intricate and unfathomably profound. In a single night, what could they comprehend?
" "Do not underestimate them. " Shen Mu's face was grave. He said in a low voice, "One is Heavenly Venerable Longhan, one is the Heavenly Emperor Taichu, and there is half a Taisu, half a Taiji.
Their aptitude and insight are in no way weaker than mine.
If they comprehend something, I fear it will raise their cultivation considerably. .
.
" He shook his head. That night was exceedingly long, but at last the sky gradually brightened.
Jiang Yunjian roused the Heavenly Venerables and ancient gods, saying, "It is time for you all to leave. " The crowd looked at the Dao-pattern array on the cliff wall, reluctant to part, but still, as promised, they taught Jiang Yunjian all that they had comprehended that night.
Jiang Yunjian's head was stuffed full, and he was delighted.
He escorted Heavenly Venerable Hao and the others out of the Black Mountains. He returned to the Black Mountains and came to the foot of the cliff, and was just about to verify his own comprehension when Shen Mu suddenly appeared before him and said in a low voice, "Yunjian, how much did they comprehend? " Jiang Yunjian hastily stirred his divine consciousness. Shen Mu's consciousness brushed against his, and at once he had mastery of everything the seven Heavenly Venerables and three ancient gods had comprehended the night before.
Shen Mu's face was grave.
After a long while he said in a low voice, "They are all outstanding figures, truly remarkable beings.
.
. " What Heavenly Venerable Xiao, Heavenly Venerable Hao, and the others had comprehended that night was more than he had anticipated.
Even Heavenly Venerable Xu, weaker in cultivation, had comprehended things from the Dao-pattern array that were exceedingly profound! "I remember now!
" Heavenly Venerable Xiao halted and turned to look at the Sun Ancient God. He smiled: "What has fellow Daoist remembered? " The Sun Ancient God said, "I remember where I have seen Taiyi's golden hall.
I saw that golden hall aboard Heavenly Venerable Mu's golden ship. That golden ship is a remarkable thing.
My sister and I once saw a similar golden hall aboard that golden ship. " Heavenly Venerable Xiao fell into thought, glanced at the hundred thousand sacred mountains, and suddenly gave a laugh.
The Sun Ancient God mused, "I suppose that after Heavenly Venerable Mu returned, he presented the golden hall from the ship to Brother Dao Taiyi as a filial gift. This fellow is a great schemer; he even intends to move against us, to do away with us. " "Interesting.
" Heavenly Venerable Xiao suddenly laughed aloud: "Truly interesting.
.
. Let us go back! "
