The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 4
Since that is so, let us each bring out our full strength, and see what we gained in the Jade Capital City!
" Hao Tianzun raised his brows and smiled.
"Father is worthy indeed of being Father.
But you have already lost to me twice, Father.
You are old, and you will lose a third time! " Xiao Tianzun smiled faintly.
Shen Mu's heart grew wary. He glanced at the two of them and thought, "Both of them are old foxes, hiding their capital so well. But I am no worse off — I too have two great reserves of capital!
" He quietly looked at Kaihuang, a question in his eyes, and Kaihuang nodded silently. Kaihuang was his first great reserve.
So long as Ling Tianzun's Unchanging Divine Art sent them back to the time when Kaihuang achieved the Dao, the Great Luo Heaven of the Sword Dao that Kaihuang had imprinted in the Ultimate Void would be able to sense this place. By then, when the two Great Luo Heavens collided, Kaihuang's Dao Tree and Dao Flower would arrive together, and his cultivation and strength would surely surge!
Ling Tianzun was Shen Mu's second great reserve.
Ling Tianzun, after forty thousand years of cultivation, ought to have made up for the shortcomings in her cultivation; and with her forty thousand years of bitter study of the Hongmeng runes and the Miluo Palace dao patterns, she would surely become the decisive factor in this battle! Moreover, if Kaihuang could sense his own Great Luo Heaven of the Sword Dao, that meant they had already reached the time when they entered the Heavenly River — which likewise meant that Ling Tianzun, forty thousand years later, was almost here!
"This time it is not only our struggle against the Great Emperor, but also our struggle against Hao Tianzun and Xiao Tianzun!
" Shen Mu's heart was somewhat anxious.
Just how great a boon had the Third and Fourth Young Masters of the Miluo Palace given Xiao Tianzun and Hao Tianzun? Could Kaihuang and Ling Tianzun truly win this battle?
Could he save Yun Tianzun?
Everything depended on the outcome of this battle!
On the Golden Ship of Salvation, another figure stirred, and the Great Emperor showed a look of suspicion; but he could not make out who that figure was, and so paid it no mind. "It is time this ended.
" The Great Emperor stood with his hands clasped behind his back, the crown of his head torn open, his brains steaming. He cast a faint glance at the four, then another at the Goddess Taisu, who was still clanging the Tai Bell, and said leisurely, "Forty thousand years have slipped by without my noticing, and the four of you have actually accompanied me for forty thousand years.
The things that happened in those forty thousand years leave me sighing without end.
" Hearing this, the four likewise sighed without end. In those forty thousand years, the Kaihuang Era had risen, fallen, and fled into the Land of No Sorrow.
The Ten Tianzun had seized the reins of government, taken complete control of the Heavenly Court's power, fabricated a false fleshly body of the Great Emperor, and used the Great Emperor to command the lords.
For forty thousand years things had been rather quiet for them — until Shen Mu burst upon the world.
From his escape from the Great Emperor's fleshly body, to the slaying of the Great Emperor's fleshly body and its reduction to ashes. From Kaihuang's emergence from the Land of No Sorrow, to Kaihuang's sword cleaving the false fleshly body of the Great Emperor, splitting the Heavenly Court, and the Ancestral Court revealing itself.
From Shen Mu's creation of the spirit-energy translocation bridges, to the myriad heavens and worlds being joined by those bridges.
