Chapter 1594 — Walking Into a Dead End
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 5
Hao Tianzun said warmly, "Chao Jin, I and my fellow Daoists think highly of you. If you can refine Mu Tianzun to death, we will recommend you as Yin Tianzun!
" Yin Tianzi was startled and overjoyed. Huo Tianzun gave an angry snort.
Yin Tianzi went at once to the side of the Wheel of Myriad Daos and activated his art of reincarnation.
But no sooner had his art of reincarnation entered the Wheel of Myriad Daos, before it had even touched Shen Mu, than Yin Tianzi gave a sudden muffled groan and fell straight over backward, unconscious. The crowd rushed to save him, and only then dragged him back from Shen Mu's art of reincarnation.
They looked at one another.
The Taisu Goddess sneered. "A pack of good-for-nothings! If my supreme treasure were at its full strength, refining him would be a trifling matter!
Hao'er, hand this villain to me, and I will settle him for you!
" Hao Tianzun waved his hand, dismissing Yin Tianzi, and said, "Aunt, your divine powers are unmatched, but I fear even you can do nothing with him.
The safest way to destroy him is still to sink him in the river—sink him into the Long River of Chaos in the Jade Capital City of the Ancestral Court, and watch him turn bit by bit into chaotic qi. Only then will I be at ease. " The Taisu Goddess said no more.
Her purpose had been to make contact with Shen Mu. She had once believed she could control Hao Tianzun, but after the battle in the Daluo Heaven of Divine Consciousness, she had found that she could no longer control him; rather, it was she who was controlled by him, sinking deeper and deeper. Her purpose in making contact with Shen Mu was this: she remembered what "Taiyi" had said when last they met, and she wished to find a way out for herself. Hao Tianzun rose and stood at the edge of the Heavenly Court, looking down, the vast rivers and mountains of the Ancestral Court all taken in at a glance.
He gazed at the Jade Capital City of the Ancestral Court for a moment, then shook his head.
"Kaihuang Shen Ye—an old thief.
And now he waits for me in the Jade Capital City of the Ancestral Court! " The Heavenly Venerables all looked, and their expressions changed: in the Jade Capital City of the Ancestral Court, sword light crisscrossed. That ancient, ancient divine city had been sealed by the joined hands of many Heavenly Venerables, but a seal could bar other men—it could not bar Kaihuang Shen Ye, who had already achieved the Dao!
Kaihuang Shen Ye plainly knew too that Hao Tianzun would very likely escort Shen Mu there and sink him in the river, and so he had come to the Jade Capital City of the Ancestral Court ahead of them! Hao Tianzun gave a cold laugh and said to the assembly, "That beast Shen Ye is a greater danger even than the thief Mu.
But in my eyes he is nothing to fear.
From my battle in the Daluo Heaven of Divine Consciousness, I have gained full confidence that I can achieve the Dao through force, and brand my Dao upon the Ultimate Void. Let him be!
I will rest and recover, then go to the Ultimate Void and complete my own Dao Tree! " Huo Tianzun said hesitantly, "Then the thief Mu. . .
? " Hao Tianzun thought for a moment.
"The thief Mu is hard to kill, but there is still a place in this world where he can be dealt with. Fellow Daoist Gong, take my Wheel of Myriad Daos to Guixu, and use the thief Mu to fill the Sea Eye. Borrow the great abyss of Guixu to grind him to death! That Sea Eye devours all things; even if he does not die, he will never escape it. " Gong Tianzun assented and took the Wheel of Myriad Daos.
Huo Tianzun said, "I will go with Fellow Daoist Gong.
" Hao Tianzun shook his head. "The villains of the Land of No Sorrow are hurrying to the Origin Realm, hoping to gain a foothold there. Brother Huo, you and yours go to the Origin Realm and block them. The Land of No Sorrow should be pacified as well.
And the matter of the Tubo of Youdu should be settled too.
