Shen Mu had found the golden ship and was just about to set out for the Ultimate Void when he saw Venerable Ling walking toward him.
"Do you know the way to the Ultimate Void, and how to find Venerable Cloud?
" she asked, standing below the ship.
Shen Mu was briefly taken aback, then smiled and held out his hand.
Venerable Ling took it, and Shen Mu pulled, drawing her up onto the ship.
"There is something strange about this ship of yours. " Venerable Ling alighted on the prow. "I saw someone aboard it, but I could not tell who. And this ship of yours is in truth enormous; there is a space within it of unknowable size.
I asked Venerable Moon to search it, and Venerable Moon searched for half a year without ever covering the whole of it.
" Shen Mu was startled. Venerable Moon had searched half a year and still not walked the entire ship? Venerable Moon's spatial divine arts were no small matter; her attainment was so high that Shen Mu could only look up to it as to a mountain peak.
For her Supreme Void to travel from one end of the cosmos to the other would likely take no more than a few years. "Venerable Moon said this ship seems to be alive, able to grow or shrink of itself. It is hiding whoever is aboard it, so that you cannot find him," Venerable Ling said, gazing up at the vessel.
Shen Mu followed her gaze, and could see only the palaces upon the golden ship's exterior; to this day he had never beheld the Golden Ship of Salvation in its entirety. "You mean the master of Miro Palace truly lives aboard this ship?
" He mused.
"But the master of Miro Palace is already dead. If someone is aboard, it cannot be him, only his imprint. Or perhaps there truly is someone hidden on this ship.
. . " He thought a while, suppressed his urge to search the vessel, and laughed.
"It is best we go see Venerable Cloud first. This golden ship of mine is out of the ordinary; it can enter the Ultimate Void.
Only, where Venerable Cloud's Great Luo Heaven lies, that I do not know. " "Great Luo Heaven is of the utmost importance.
If Venerable Hao or Taichu were to find that place, Venerable Cloud would be doomed, and so he must remain hidden.
" Venerable Ling said, "Few know where Great Luo Heaven is. I will direct you there.
On the way, I can pass on to you all I have comprehended over these forty thousand years.
" Shen Mu was overjoyed. Venerable Ling considered a moment, and chose in the end to transmit to him by way of divine consciousness everything she had gained from forty thousand years of comprehension; this saved time, and made it easier for Shen Mu to grasp and ponder. The Golden Ship of Salvation rose slowly into the air, gathering speed bit by bit as it drove toward the sky.
Aboard the golden ship, Shen Mu sorted through the knowledge Venerable Ling had imparted while he steered the vessel; he must wait until the ship reached a certain speed, then open the void, and let the ship shuttle through it. What Venerable Ling had comprehended over those forty thousand years was indeed no small thing: the Miro Palace dao markings he had taught her had been all but fully deciphered by her.
This was a monumental achievement!
The Miro Palace dao markings held infinite variations and infinite detail; when the markings changed, countless details moved in concert with one another, which made them incomparably complex. Shen Mu had dwelt in Miro Palace for a long while, yet he had solved only the mysteries hidden in the markings at rest; as for the variations of the markings, he could not solve them at all.
Even so, upon that shallow comprehension he had founded the Primordial Finger, so that Venerable Fire, Divine Emperor Langxuan and the rest dared not meet its edge. But because he had not comprehended the variations, Shen Mu's finger drove straight and true, and could easily be dodged.
