Chapter 1649 — The Number Forty-Two
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 4
He tried to fuse the Jingping numerological system with Ling Heavenly Venerable's system and create more algorithms. After more than ten days, the entire great hall could no longer contain so many numerological runes.
Shen Mu went outside and continued his mad calculations. After another ten-odd days, Shen Fengqing looked up and saw that the numerological runes evolved and visualized by Shen Mu from his primal qi had filled the sky above the golden ship, forming an immense canopy with no end in sight!
By this time even Taishi could no longer understand Shen Mu's calculations. The little fatty sat on the ground like a plump egg with a head piled on top, both hands propping up his cheeks, staring blankly at a single formula.
After a while, he abruptly jumped up, like a big ball with a small ball leaping into the air, and exclaimed joyfully, "I understand!
" But once he landed, his face fell, and he stammered to Shen Fengqing, "I think I calculated wrong. .
. " Shen Mu was still calculating madly, but as time went on he solved more and more slowly. His expression grew grave, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Sweat poured like a spring and soon soaked all his clothes.
Shen Fengqing paced anxiously, murmuring, "Are you done yet?
Have you figured it out. . .
We have reached the Southern Heaven!
" He hurried to the prow and looked down; he saw the Southern Heaven's magnificent main continent and its many beautiful and majestic heavenly star domains appearing beneath the golden ship. The Golden Ship of Deliverance sailed through the void of the Southern Heaven like a ghost, sliding past silently.
Shen Fengqing, with horns on his head, peered downward. His features were identical to the young Shen Mu's, as if stamped out of the same mold, and his face still carried the youthful immaturity unique to Shen Mu in his younger years.
The only difference was the pair of horns atop his head—the horns of Tu Bo. Shen Fengqing kept looking around until his heart suddenly trembled at the sight of a heavenly world being contorted into a huge wheel.
The distortion was terrifying beyond measure—boundless magical power was twisting the space of an entire heavenly world, and even its star regions were being twisted into a ring!
That heavenly star domain contained a galaxy, with countless suns and planets, all forcibly twisted into a ring. In this present age, only a few people possessed such formidable magical power! Apart from the Dao-achievers Emperor Haotian, Taichu, Cloud Heavenly Venerable, and the Guixu Goddess, perhaps only the Ancestral God King, who held the body of the Heavenly Duke, and Fire Heavenly Venerable could do it!
"I see Fire Heavenly Venerable!
" Shen Fengqing grew alarmed. Not daring to look directly at Fire Heavenly Venerable for fear of being noticed, he said in a low voice, "Has my little brother not finished calculating? Stupid!
" Splash!
The Nether Capital's Heavenly Gate appeared, and the Nether Sea gushed out from the gate. The Yin Heavenly Emperor sat on the threshold, mocking Fire Heavenly Venerable, and was then blown apart by a single finger from Fire Heavenly Venerable.
"That is Little Yinzi?
Fire Heavenly Venerable's divine power is strong, but it seems unable to kill him. " In the Great Void, Shen Fengqing had fought the Yin Heavenly Emperor more than once. At first their strength had been about the same, but later Shen Fengqing devoured the divine demon primordial spirits of those who had fallen in battle in the Heavenly Court, and his strength gradually came to surpass the Yin Heavenly Emperor's. But the Yin Heavenly Emperor had countless tricks, especially his cycle-of-reincarnation divine ability, strange and uncanny, and every time he could escape death by a hair. Therefore Shen Fengqing knew the Yin Heavenly Emperor's methods extremely well.
