Chapter 1687 — Though Dead, Their Heroic Spirit Lives On
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
That snow-white sphere was woven of strand upon strand of hair, white hair like silk sealing in Lady Yuanmu, one who had attained the Dao, so she could not escape.
Celestial Venerable Yun gripped the stalk of the twin lotus and gazed downward, and on the seabed he saw a vast woman's face bound about with chains. Yet though he searched long, he never found Celestial Venerable Ling. "Can Celestial Venerable Ling have already met with disaster?
" His heart chilled.
At that moment Lady Yuanmu cried out shrilly: "Sister, only if you and I join hearts can we resist this calamity together. If we escape alive, I will yield this flesh to you!
" "Agreed!
" From within Lady Yuanmu came the voice of the Empress: "If you and I drive the Dao of Reincarnation together, escape will not be hard!
" "The Dao of Reincarnation?
" Celestial Venerable Yun started slightly: "Is that not the supreme art of Celestial Venerable Mu?
" Long ago upon Daluo Heaven, Shen Mu had exchanged arts with him, teaching him his comprehended Dao of divine consciousness while Shen Mu imparted his own attainments, so Celestial Venerable Yun was no stranger to Shen Mu's Dao of Reincarnation. A thought stirred in him: "This must have been taught to them by Celestial Venerable Mu.
Does it require the Empress and Lady Yuanmu to join hands to unleash it?
So Celestial Venerable Mu held something back!
The Dao of Reincarnation he gave Lady Yuanmu and the Empress must hide a flaw!
" His eyes glittered as he watched Lady Yuanmu's every movement, seeking to discern from their working of the Dao of Reincarnation the flaw Shen Mu had left behind.
Below, within the sphere, the Empress and Lady Yuanmu each commanded the flesh and together drove the divine art of reincarnation, and rings of light spun in endless return, cutting outward from the sphere of white hair. Where the white hair was cut, Guixu spaces formed one after another, yet the halos of reincarnation cut through those Guixu and would not be stopped from bearing their forms onward.
Lady Yuanmu passed through ring after ring of reincarnation and soon escaped the sphere of white hair, then soared skyward and rushed toward Celestial Venerable Yun. Wild with triumph, Lady Yuanmu laughed shrilly: "Sister, how naive you are, to truly believe I would surrender this flesh to you? " At that instant she saw a handsome man drift down from above, his ten fingers flying like the turning, blooming petals of a lotus.
Caught unprepared, Lady Yuanmu waved her sleeves in desperate defense, yet the man tapped one finger upon the turning halo of reincarnation. Lady Yuanmu grunted, and the black mole between her brows turned red.
"Minister Yun," the Empress raised her head, her gaze falling upon Celestial Venerable Yun. "Your Majesty the Empress," Celestial Venerable Yun bowed slightly: "Where is Celestial Venerable Ling?
" "Celestial Venerable Ling has already been sent by the Second Prince of Miluo Palace in the Sea of Chaos to the primeval universes, to fulfill her undying renown," the Empress rose into the air and said in a沉 deep voice: "You aided me in suppressing that wretched woman, and I will not lie to you.
" Celestial Venerable Yun walked beside her, saying: "I trust Your Majesty.
" Together they charged out of the Great Abyss of Guixu, one alighting to the left of the abyss and one to the right.
The Empress fixed her eyes upon him and said coolly: "Then why does Celestial Venerable Yun still follow me?
Must you strike at me?
" Celestial Venerable Yun shook his head: "Your Majesty, though you have become mistress of this body, how will you bear yourself upon returning to the Celestial Court?
Celestial Venerable Haotian may not suffer you to live.
" The Empress snorted: "I will seek out Taichu.
With my aid, Taichu may seize the throne!
" Celestial Venerable Yun laughed aloud and shook his head: "How laughable that Your Majesty remains so innocent.
