Chapter 1766 — Who Tempers Your Advance in Your Stead
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
" Ling Yuxiu nodded in silence.
Xu Shenghua said, "Lady Shen need not grieve too much. Cult Leader Shen acts with provision against want; he foresaw this long ago and made preparations. The Great Dao of Youdu has now changed.
" Ling Yuxiu was puzzled.
Xu Shenghua said, "I cultivate the Great Dao of Youdu, and I find it is no longer sixty-four in number, but has gained six more to reach seventy. The six added are the Six Paths of Reincarnation, six Daos of reincarnation.
Cult Leader Shen earlier ordered men to forge the Six Paths Heavenly Wheel precisely to meet today's straits. " "What do you mean? " "Tu Bo Shen Fengqing controls the Six Paths of Reincarnation; the power of this divine artifact has gradually spread through all heavens and myriad worlds, becoming a treasure above the Ming River Whip and the Holy Pupil of Tu Bo. " Xu Shenghua walked outward, saying, "The six Daos of reincarnation will likely let those who died enter reincarnation and gain new life, provided they have not turned to black soul-sand.
Henceforth the duties of Tu Bo and King Tianqi Rensheng may differ from those of the Tu Bo and King Tianqi Rensheng of old.
Cult Leader Shen prepared for rain before it fell and made this provision before the great war began; it commands admiration. " Ling Yuxiu turned and came to the sickbed, sitting on its edge to gaze at the breathless Shen Mu.
His wounds wrung her heart, yet there was nothing to be done; the wisest and mightiest beings in this world, such as Lan Yutian and Xu Shenghua, could not heal Shen Mu's Dao wounds, and even the most skilled alchemists were helpless.
She could only wait quietly for Shen Mu to wake himself and heal himself. The man lying on the sickbed had done too much for Jing Ping and for this universe; whenever danger came he was ever the first to run foremost, and even gravely wounded he would have men bear his coffin forward.
His foresight ran too deep; decades ago he had already plotted today's answer.
She bent softly down and nestled beside Shen Mu; husband and wife for decades, they had parted more than they had gathered, and only now could they steal a moment of peace.
Suddenly Ling Yuxiu rose, left the sickbed, and walked out.
"Jing Ping has won its first victory, and this is the most critical hour; there is no room for tender sentiment!
" She resumed the sharp resolve of an empress of her age, handling public affairs even as she issued order after order, bidding the armies sift out the wounded, regroup into forces, and go to aid Jiang Baigui, Long Qilin, and the others to expand the victory. "We must drive the Heavenly Court utterly from the Yuan Realm!
" At the same time Ling Yuxiu proclaimed another command, mobilizing all those of divine powers in Jing Ping to keep supply lines open, cutting through mountains and bridging rivers along the way and raising teleportation portals at strongpoints, to ensure provisions never failed and at the least that the wondrous elixirs sent from Jing Ping's rear never ran short, holding the lives of the soldiers of every army as the first concern!
The wounded who remained were left to Jing Ping's alchemists, who pressed time to treat them and snatch back their lives. When Ling Yuxiu had done all this, deep night had fallen; stars dotted the sky, the star signs still in chaos, and within Xuandu another great battle still raged, not yet ended. That was the war of Tiangong and the Ancestral God-King, vital to that father and son, but no longer decisive to Jing Ping.
Ling Yuxiu drew her robe about her and looked up beyond the sky in the night; beyond the heavens another battle still burned fierce, now flashing forth the Taiji Star Domain in black and white, now sending down the Dao light of the Azure Nether Mirror like blue auroras, splendid and dazzling.
