"The Kai Huang you saw should have been the Kai Huang of the future, glimpsed unintentionally. A being powerful to an almost inconceivable degree used supreme divine power to send him into the future at the moment the Fourth Young Master's divine power erupted. Moreover, Kai Huang was sent by that inconceivable being into an object that could pierce through the future—that object is the Golden Ship of Deliverance! " His eyes gradually grew bright, his steps and his words quickened, and he suddenly clapped his hands. "This is what it means to board the ghost ship. . .
no! The Golden Ship of Deliverance! People who board the golden ship see ghosts and even feel that the ghosts are speaking to them! These are not real ghosts—Kai Huang was sent by that inconceivable being onto the golden ship of the future!
" He said excitedly, "This golden ship was refined by the Master of the Miluo Palace, so the ship itself is equivalent to an eternal, unchanging substance! It can pass through great kalpas of cosmic destruction!
Thus, in the state of immutable matter, it can appear in the past! Granny Zhu and the others met people from the future on board and thought they were the Master of the Miluo Palace, even saying that the Master of the Miluo Palace guided them in cultivation!
That was not the Master of the Miluo Palace—that was Kai Huang! " The more he spoke, the more excited he grew.
"Kai Huang in a future state!
Because he and we are in different times and spaces, he and we are like the conversation I once had with Cloud Heavenly Venerable above the Heavenly River—we could only dimly see each other! It is the same with Kai Huang! " He grew even more excited, suddenly bursting with primal qi and visualizing runes; in a blink, countless numerological runes appeared, crackling and changing in unpredictable ways!
Shen Fengqing watched his own younger brother, crazed as a demon, continuously altering all kinds of bizarre runes, and could not help but be stunned.
The shifting runes made him dizzy; after watching for a moment, Shen Fengqing nearly vomited and hurriedly turned his gaze away.
"Little Fatty, what is my little brother doing? " he asked curiously. Taishi stared fixedly, extremely excited, his eyes glued to the runes formed by Shen Mu's primal qi, and without lifting his head said, "He is computing! Truly marvelous and boundless! And there is this kind of algorithm.
.
.
Good! " Shen Fengqing was utterly in the dark and humbly asked, "What is he computing? " "Whether his conjecture is feasible! " Taishi was even more excited; he clearly understood Shen Mu's calculations.
His eyeballs spun faster, and clapping his hands in admiration, he said, "Excellent! So this is how it is solved.
. .
You don't understand? Aren't you brothers? I've heard you two share the same brain—but yours doesn't seem to work. .
. " Shen Fengqing's face darkened, and he punched Taishi square in the right eye. Taishi's two eyes both swelled into slits, and he muttered, "Sure enough, they are brothers.
.
. " Shen Mu exhausted all that he knew and calculated madly, even devising new algorithms as he went. He had originally been one of the foremost masters of numerology in the world, perhaps a cut below Lin Xuan, but not by far.
Jingping's numerology had already been developed to an extremely high level by the Jingping Dao School; every time Shen Mu returned, he would go to the Jingping Dao School to learn. Dao Master Lin Xuan could be said to be on the very forefront of numerology, yet whatever he knew, Shen Mu basically knew as well. Furthermore, when Ling Heavenly Venerable had analyzed the Miluo Palace Dao patterns, she had also created a numerological system of her own, and while learning the Miluo Palace Dao patterns from her, Shen Mu had absorbed her numerological system on the side, lest she find him too stupid to teach.
