In truth that Hongmeng Dao light of Shen Mu was not the Hongmeng power of Miluo Palace, or it could be called Hongmeng power, but it was a divine consciousness power built from divine consciousness knit into Hongmeng runes. From the very moment Palace Lord Huanxi saw the Hongmeng Dao light, she had already been struck.
Only this power was not meant to wound her or kill her, but to fashion for her an unspeakably dreadful illusion, forcing her to retreat, so that she could not join with Palace Lord Changfeng.
"The Seventh Young Master has no sure grip to deal with Changfeng and me together, so he uses divine consciousness power to frighten me away, that he may slay Changfeng at the least cost! " To an existence of palace lord rank, divine consciousness power was but a petty trick.
She was incomparably ancient, and not to speak of the Dao of divine consciousness, she had seen even the complete Five Tai Daos. She should never have been struck so easily, but she had been gravely wounded by Shang Jun, and had heard that even so mighty an existence as Palace Lord Chuge had died at Shen Mu's hand, and so she had taken it as given that Shen Mu had come to kill her and that she could never withstand him.
Grasping this, Palace Lord Huanxi sensed her own great Dao, then drove her magic power and broke Shen Mu's divine consciousness power. With a boom like the sundering of heaven and earth in her mind, the divine consciousness power was broken, and all the strange visions before her eyes vanished.
Flesh, soul, Dao tree and Dao fruit were all there, without the least harm. "Then, should I rush back to meet the Seventh Young Master together with Changfeng?
" Palace Lord Huanxi could not help but hesitate.
She had already plunged deep into the starry sky, at an unknown distance from the Yuan Realm, and rushing back now would likely come too late.
Though she knew full well that Palace Lord Changfeng was very likely not yet dead, and that if she returned she could still join hands with Changfeng to beat back Shen Mu, what if all went wrong. What if Palace Lord Changfeng had already been slain by Shen Mu, and her return was only to walk into a net.
"We three palace lords were commanded to descend into the Seventeenth Era, that the two young masters of Miluo Palace and the other palace lords might descend.
That aim is of utmost import! " Palace Lord Huanxi flashed away, saying silently in her heart, "Fellow Daoist Changfeng, it is not that I fear death and will not save you, but that saving you is too great a risk.
For the great plan of Miluo Palace's descent, you must suffer this wrong.

" Shen Mu came to Flying Wheel Fort and looked about, seeing ruin on every side. The World-Crossing Golden Ship had smashed through the relics left by Yan Yunxi and Bai Yuqiong, crushing the third palace lord beneath it all the way out of the Yuan Realm into the starry sky beyond.
Shen Mu sensed the aura of the World-Crossing Golden Ship, and in a few strides followed the traces it had left and walked beyond heaven, thinking to himself, "That Palace Lord Huanxi's skill just now was indeed supreme, her speed peerless in the world, even faster than mine. Like Tianzun Yue, she too cultivates Zaichi Void and attained the Dao through space.
Yet in foundation she is far stronger than Tianzun Yue. Such an existence is most perilous. . .
" In the starry sky the World-Crossing Golden Ship was bound tight by countless roots. Those roots were like coiling dragons climbing over the hull, and some had even pierced through palace after palace upon the ship, strange and uncanny to behold.
