Chapter 1813 — Returning to the Miro Treasure Hall
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 1 of 4
Shen Mu rested for a few days, recovering some of his cultivation, and then grew busy again. Shang Jun had fallen under Jiang Baigui's Immutable Divine Art and been trapped between life and death, and freeing him from that state was a bothersome affair, for it required that in the single instant when the Immutable Divine Art was broken, the Master of the Hall of Joy's killing blow be blocked. The Master of the Hall of Joy was, after all, a being of Hall Master rank; though she was dead, her divine power still circulated ceaselessly within the Immutable Divine Art, slaying Shang Jun again and again. Apart from Shen Mu, only Kai Huang was capable of blocking her killing blow.
The two made their preparations. Shen Mu would break the Immutable Divine Art; in the very instant it unraveled, Kai Huang, Shen Ye, thrust out his sword and blocked the divine power that came striking at Shang Jun.
Shang Jun was hauled back from the gates of hell by the two of them, and the alchemists at once came forward to tend his wounds.
Shen Mu let out a breath of relief, then summoned Tai Yi out, and saw that Tai Yi lay motionless upon the golden ship, his whole body studded with Dao-Slaying Divine Nails. "Brother Yutian, Brother Xu, Junior Brother Jiang, I will teach you the Primal Chaos Runes of the Miro Palace, and you shall heal Tai Yi.
" Shen Mu called the three of them over and passed on to them the Primal Chaos Runes, along with the Miro Palace's dao arts and divine powers that he himself had comprehended.
"The Third Young Master and the Fourth Young Master suffered a setback this time, but they will surely return. And sooner or later Elder Wuyai will heal his dao wound and appear once more.
You must heal Tai Yi as soon as you can. " Jiang Baigui hesitated, then asked, "Did you not say, Second Senior Brother, that Tai Yi is the Lord of the Heavenly Capital?
Once he is healed, if the Heaven-Opening Host of the Heavenly Capital comes knocking. . . " "Healing Tai Yi and the Heaven-Opening Host coming to our door are two different matters.
" Shen Mu smiled. "The Heaven-Opening Host will not find their way here so easily.
If they could find this place, they would have come long ago.
After all, Tai Yi guarded Great Black Mountain of the Ancestral Court for billions of years, and was once sent by the master of the Miro Palace into the Fourth Epoch. If it was Tai Yi they sought, they would have had ample opportunity. It is clear, then, that what they seek is not Tai Yi, but the Lord of the Heavenly Capital. " Xu Shenghua was puzzled. "Is there a difference? " "Tai Yi is a lone wanderer, coming and going by himself.
The Lord of the Heavenly Capital, however, is the leader of the Heavenly Capital.
That is the greatest difference of all. " Shen Mu said, "Tai Yi and the Lord of the Heavenly Capital must differ in some way, but precisely how, I cannot say.
It may take Ling Tianzun to explain it clearly. " Lan Yutian said, "Brother, would it not be easier for you to heal Tai Yi yourself?
Your attainments in the Primal Chaos divine arts are far higher. " Xu Shenghua and Jiang Baigui both nodded.
"There are still the Dao-Burial Divine Coffin and the Lesser World Tree in my Hall of Chaos.
I must go in once more, to settle the Third Young Master's hand that is sealed there. " Shen Mu sighed and said gravely, "And there is still the Jade Capital City of the Ancestral Court, and those under Elder Wuyai.
