Chapter 1812 — The Trial Ground for Attaining the Dao
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
But his noninterference was wrong as well. Attainers are the destroyers of this universe, parasites; to create a perfect world there is but one road, and that is to destroy all Attainers!
Old Seven, you must agree with me, do you not? " Shen Mu, propped by Ling Yuxiu, rose unsteadily to his feet and shook his head: "Second Sister, our Daos differ and we cannot plot together; your creed and mine are not the same. " Second Young Master Wuji tossed her hair, shaking off the five chains of the Red Cord Knot; so long as the power of the Red Cord Knot was not urged to its utmost, for the moment it could do nothing to her. "Spare me the hypocrisy. " With one hand on the gunwale and her body leaning back as she roamed the Sea of Chaos, she said leisurely: "Your aim is to wipe out all Attainers and return the cosmic energy devoured by these parasites to the universe, and so is mine.
These Attainers are naught but grand thieves, stealing the mysteries of heaven and earth yet contributing nothing to the universe; their deaths would scarce atone!
" She let go, lying face upward beneath the sea's surface and circling the World-Crossing Golden Ship in her roaming, her voice now distant now near, now ahead now behind: "My aim, once they are removed, is to create the world anew. I will not meddle with the new world as Tiandu did; I will only let this new world unfold of itself.
Is that not the same as your creed?
" Suddenly her form appeared to the left of the golden ship, as if to climb aboard. Shen Mu's expression shifted slightly, the five fingers of his right hand splaying to form the seal of the Red Cord Knot. Second Young Master Wuji gave a low chuckle and fell backward face upward, sinking into the sea: "With your strength alone, and these small fry, you can never contend with Miluo Palace.
If you do not return to the past, you cannot kill the Third and Fourth, but if you release me, I will help you rid yourself of them! " Splash! She leapt from the water in excitement, like a fish dwelling in the Sea of Chaos, the five chains of the Red Cord Knot like long shimmering fins, most splendid.
Thud.
She dropped back into the water, her voice full of temptation: "Only the Second and Seventh Young Masters of Miluo Palace joining hands can destroy Miluo Palace!
I can also help you destroy Old Man Wuya; that old fellow is full of malice, let us kill him and refine him into a treasure, and the treasure shall be yours! I can even help you slay the Heaven-Opening Host! " She cried eagerly: "The Heaven-Opening Host of Tiandu lie hidden; those knaves are more wicked than you imagine, and killing them will not be easy!
But I can do it!
Old Seven! " The World-Crossing Golden Ship was suddenly locked fast by her hair and could not advance, and the form of Second Young Master Wuji rose before the prow, looking down from above upon Shen Mu: "With so many gains from joining hands with me, what do you still hesitate for?
" Ling Yuxiu, Xu Shenghua and the others were also rather moved; the words of Young Master Wuji were indeed alluring, for the strength of Jingping was far too weak beside Miluo Palace and Old Man Wuya, to say nothing of the abstruse and unfathomable Heaven-Opening Host of Tiandu.
By themselves alone, without Shen Mu, they would strain to deal with even a Hall Master level existence. Shen Mu's power was indeed extraordinary, but Jingping had only one Shen Mu, and every time Shen Mu staked his life and exhausted all wisdom to block the descent of Miluo Palace and to block Old Man Wuya! Every time, Shen Mu was either beaten to utter exhaustion or left gravely wounded and near death.
So it was this time as well; had Shen Mu not fought with all his might to hold off Old Man Wuya's small World Tree and the Third Young Master's divine art, they too could hardly have escaped death! If the Second Young Master lent aid, Shen Mu's burden would lighten greatly, and Jingping would have no fear of annihilation.
