Chapter 1680 — The Whereabouts of That Yi One
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
To fathom their meaning from the characters alone, one could only begin with the most fundamental runes that composed them. The runes making up the script were exceedingly numerous, but by deciphering the Dao-words within the runes, one could infer the basic meaning of the characters from those Dao-words.
This was the method for interpreting prehistoric writing. This void realm was unimaginably vast; finding a familiar world of the Myriad Heavens would not be easy.
Shen Mu chose to "stand" on the door plank and drift against the cold and silent wind.
The cold and silent wind of the Ultimate Void could not dissolve him or the plank, so its direction was clearly meant to send him back to that abandoned place.
As long as he traveled against the wind, he could leave this void realm and find the familiar Myriad Heavens.
Then he could determine his position in the cosmos, leave the Ultimate Void, and return to the Yuan Realm.
His primordial spirit entered the vertical eye at the center of his brow, preparing to inspect the ecology within the Gourd Heaven Bottle to see whether the hundreds of millions of Jingping folk and gods and demons inside could still survive. Lan Yutian looked at his bean-sized primordial spirit, his expression strange. Previously, Shen Mu's primordial spirit had been so vast — and now, reconstructed from Primordial Qi, it was only the size of a bean sprout, exceedingly miniature.
Shen Mu inspected it and found that within the Gourd Heaven Bottle, besides the Jingping folk, there were also the demon clans and demon gods of the Dutian World, vast in number, as many as several billion. The demon clans developed at an extreme rate, and their consumption of resources was terrifying; the ecological structure within the bottle was in great peril.
Mere creation divine abilities were not enough to relieve the ecological pressure.
"It can probably hold out another two months. " Shen Mu's vertical eye opened, finely parsing the runes within these prehistoric characters.
He listed the internal runes one by one, deciphered their meanings one by one, and then read them out in sequence as Dao-words. After several days, Shen Mu finally made clear the writing on the door plank. His expression turned strange.
The writing on the plank roughly meant that the Eldest Young Master of the Miluo Palace had sealed a mortal enemy of the Miluo Palace, forever suppressing him in the Ultimate Void, so that this enemy could never escape through all eternity.
"A mortal enemy of the Miluo Palace? Sealed by the Eldest Young Master of the Miluo Palace himself?
" Shen Mu was slightly startled.
The Second Young Master of the Miluo Palace was the Goddess of the Returning Ruins, whose strength was so great that even the great kalpa of cosmic birth and destruction could not erase her.
This Eldest Young Master's strength was likely even greater — a being approaching the Miluo Palace's Master!
For him to act personally to seal and suppress — just what sort of person was this mortal enemy of the Miluo Palace? "Could it be Taiyi?
Or some other terrifying existence?
" His thoughts grew lively.
In the past cosmos, there had been no few powerful beings who had not joined the Miluo Palace — the Honored Spirit Jade was one of them.
Of course, the Honored Spirit Jade's strength was not especially high; he could not compare to the Young Masters of the Miluo Palace. But he too had means to survive the great kalpa of birth and destruction. Beyond the Honored Spirit Jade, there should be other, stronger beings!
Judging from the writing the Eldest Young Master of the Miluo Palace had left on the door plank, the prehistoric cosmos had contained not only the Miluo Palace but another towering force no inferior to it!
The being sealed by the Eldest Young Master might be Taiyi — or might be some other prehistoric powerhouse of that force! Shen Mu frowned, examining the door plank.
