Many people saw him! " Granny Zhu, Wei Suifeng, Crown Prince Youming, and the others all nodded and said in unison: "We all saw him!
" Shen Mu laughed: "Your cultivation is too shallow. Presumably the Master of Miluo Palace was so mighty, and his imprint so vivid, that it influenced you, making you mistake the afterglow of history for reality. There is no need to make a great fuss.
Once you have cultivated to my level, you will be able to see through all of this. " The group was greatly incensed, yet had no recourse. Indeed, Shen Mu now had every right to call their cultivation shallow.
Shen Mu tried to send them down from the ship, but the golden ship adamantly refused to release them. Shen Mu, with the most earnest persuasion, whispered furtively to the golden ship and pleaded for a long while, touching it with sentiment and convincing it with reason, until at last the ship was willing to set them free. The others saw him muttering and mumbling ceaselessly to the ship and could not help exchanging bewildered glances.
"Shen'er is under too much pressure; he has most likely lost his mind," Granny Zhu said with great heartache.
"It is time he found a companion.
. .
" Shen Mu sent the party off the golden ship, then rode the ship away from the Hundred Thousand Sacred Mountains, thinking to himself: "Is the Miluo Palace Master's imprint truly so strong that it can cause even existences at the Imperial Throne realm, like Wei Suifeng and Crown Prince Youming, to misjudge? Hmm, their vision is far inferior to mine; most likely they cannot distinguish between an imprint and reality. . .
" The World-Crossing Golden Ship sailed out of the sacred mountains when abruptly Shen Mu, by chance, caught a glimpse of a figure flitting past within one of the golden halls, and his heart gave a pound.
"Is it an imprint?
" His heart thumped with unease as he went to search, but he could not find it. "Never mind it. First, to Carefree Village to see Emperor Kai and Heavenly Venerable Yue!
" Two months later, the golden ship arrived at Carefree Village.
On the journey, Shen Mu had indeed discovered that he seemed not to be the only person on the ship; from time to time he would see other figures flitting past.
But whenever he went to search for them, he never found them.
These figures were like the Yulin Guard phantoms on the ghost ship; when one gazed at them, they would dissolve into nothingness, and even when he activated the divine power of the Immutability of Matter, he could not fix them in place. Emperor Kai came forward to meet him. Pushing aside all stray thoughts, Shen Mu went to receive him, smiling: "Emperor Kai, I have come to help you attain the Dao! " Emperor Kai alighted upon the ship and surveyed the golden vessel, saying: "I am still somewhat short of attaining the Dao.
Without the God-Beheading Platform, my Dao realm can never take another step. The ancestral court's God-Beheading Platform, however, is in the hands of Consort Qiang.
I went to see her, but she had taken the platform away with her, cutting off my path to the Dao.
.
.
There is someone else on your ship! " Shen Mu's heart skipped a beat.
He hurriedly looked around but saw no one, and laughed: "Consort Qiang has already been killed by me.
I have not only brought the God-Beheading Platform, I have also brought the Profound God-Beheading Blade, enough to bring your Dao realm to perfection! "
