"Though Old Man Wuyai's Dao arts and divine powers are many, none of them is especially mighty, and a way to break each can be found.
" Shen Mu had still caught the conversation between Zhu Santong and Taishi, and said, "Old Man Wuyai has crossed hands with us the most, and so has been recorded the most. Compared with the Young Masters, his divine powers and Dao arts lack subtlety; his only merit is their number. His cultivation is more vigorous than the Young Masters', but in these years, because no new Enlightened who entrust their Dao to the Void have appeared in the Ancestral Court, his cultivation has not grown at all. He is, in fact, the weakest link between the two great powers. " Lan Yutian nodded.
Three thousand years of trials between life and death had made him seem far more steady than before. He said, "Old Man Wuyai can be dealt with. The World Tree is rooted there, like a target set up that cannot move. If we can beat him, we fight; if not, we retreat. However strong Wuyai may be, we can respond at our ease.
But the Young Masters of Miluo Palace are too full of variables, and are harder to handle.
" Xu Shenghua said, "Now that the Third Young Master's Dao spear has descended, they will be even harder to deal with.
" Shen Mu was much gratified. Lan Yutian and Xu Shenghua could now stand on their own. Jingping's Enlightened would grow ever more numerous.
With Old Man Wuyai as a whetstone, more Enlightened would surely emerge in the future, even figures like Palace Lords and Young Masters, possessing means to contend with Miluo Palace!
With Jingping as their backing, the longer the situation in the Ancestral Court dragged on, the greater their chances of victory.
"More crucially, Miluo Palace will not keep Old Man Wuyai alive. " Shen Mu's injuries had been suppressed by the Alchemist. He rose to his feet and said, "If the Young Masters wish to descend, the simplest way is to eliminate Old Man Wuyai and sweep away all his power. Only then will they possess the energy needed to descend.
Killing me is impossible; killing you would yield too little energy. So they must strike at Wuyai.
" He stood at the ship's prow and looked toward the World Tree, saying, "Old Man Wuyai must not die.
So long as he lives, the Young Masters of Miluo Palace cannot descend.
If necessary, we may even join hands with Wuyai against Miluo Palace. " Suddenly the Void throbbed.
Shen Mu raised his head in surprise and looked up at the sky. From there came the aura of an Enlightened entrusting their Dao to the Void!
The faces of those on the ship changed slightly.
They could advance or retreat against Old Man Wuyai precisely because, though Wuyai was strong, he had few Enlightened under his command.
Most of those prehistoric powers had failed to attain the Dao because, on the eve of the universe's destruction, the spiritual qi and power of heaven and earth were insufficient to support their attainment, while the Ultimate Void was held in the grip of the older generation of Enlightened.
Only in a new universe was there hope. Shen Mu's sealing of the Ancestral Court had cut off their hope. And now someone had actually begun to attain the Dao and imprint upon the Void.
This showed that Shen Mu's seal had a great flaw! "The two great Chaos creatures have joined hands.
" Shen Mu's expression darkened slightly.
Hearing this, the others' hearts also sank. The two great Chaos creatures referred to Old Man Wuyai and the Second Young Master Wuji.
If the two joined hands, they could indeed break Shen Mu's seal and give the powers under Old Man Wuyai the chance to entrust their Dao to the Ultimate Void!
Shen Mu had used the Guixu Abyss to seal the thirty-six layers of the Void, so that none could entrust their Dao to the Void.
But the Second Young Master Wuji was the master of the Guixu Abyss.
