Chapter 1700 — The Youth Honing His Blade
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
After seeing Xu Shenghua's art of attainment, the shock in his heart was greater still, driving him to doubt his own path all the more.
Self-doubt breeds self-negation upon the Dao heart, and its wound to the Dao realm runs deep, so that cultivation and strength may even regress instead of advance!
"The World Tree art of attainment entrusts the great Dao to the self.
" Shen Mu walked on, saying lightly: "The Dao realm art of attainment entrusts the great Dao to the void.
Though the two arts of attainment differ, it does not mean the other art is wrong.
Lord Shang, if you keep doubting your own path, your cultivation and strength will weaken without cease, until in the end you become a cripple. This universe needs Xu Shenghua's entrusting to the self, and it needs your entrusting to the void. " Lord Shang's Dao heart ceased its collapse, and he followed him on in silence.
Arriving at the Guixu Great Abyss, Shen Mu fixed the exact bearing of the great abyss, then rose soaring, carrying Lord Shang into the Ultimate Void.
Now with the two coordinates of the World Tree and the Guixu Great Abyss, he could fix upon the Geographic Chart of Taiyi the bearings of every Dao tree marked there! He spread open the Geographic Chart of Taiyi, marking the bearings answering to the World Tree and Guixu, then closed his eyes, and in his mind the chart spread boundlessly, joining with the Ultimate Void.
Daluo Heavens and Dao trees were branded one after another upon the Ultimate Void in his mind, and a road appeared with clarity in his mind!
Upon the Geographic Chart of Taiyi, the bearing of Taiyi sealed with the Ultimate Void, the prison where Taiyi was held was at last found by him!
"Has the young master sensed it?
" Lord Shang said suddenly: "Someone is attaining the Dao in the Ultimate Void!
" Shen Mu's heart started, and he hastened to open his eyes: "You mean someone is entrusting to the Ultimate Void?
That is impossible!
" He frowned faintly: "In this world, no one stands closer to the thirty-sixth heaven of the Dao realm than I!
The next attainer must be me, yet I could never walk the path of branding the void! " "Unless this man does not come from this universe! " Lord Shang said in a low voice: "I sense the aura of the Sixteenth Era.
This being now entrusting his Dao is an attainer of the Sixteenth Era!
" Shen Mu's face grew grave: "Venerable Haotian, you disappoint me, you have gone after all to borrow the strength of the Third and Fourth Young Masters.
Lord Shang, since you can sense this attainer, can you sense where he is?
" Lord Shang nodded: "The young master means? " "This blade of yours has gone dull, and I must hone you bright.
" Shen Mu smiled faintly: "Have you the confidence to slay this visitor from before history?
"
