Chapter 1836 — Notes on the Dao Heard in the Ancestral Court
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
If she joined hands with Old Man Wuyai, the powers under him would have the chance to entrust their Dao to the Void and become Enlightened! In this world, only three methods escaped Old Man Wuyai's control: one was the treasure palaces of Miluo Palace, another was Jingping's attainment of the Dao within, and the third was attaining the Dao in Guixu. The most widely practiced method, entrusting one's Dao to the Void to cultivate the Dao Tree and Dao Fruit, would only strengthen Old Man Wuyai's power!
The more Enlightened there were, the stronger Old Man Wuyai would become, gradually recovering to his peak state!
"It doesn't matter.
" Suddenly Shen Mu's spirits soared.
He laughed heartily, "Old Man Wuyai growing stronger in power and influence is actually a good thing for us. It will put more pressure on us, forcing us to cultivate and comprehend! " Zhu Santong said to Taishi, "Has the Seventh Young Master always been this optimistic?
" Taishi nodded and said quietly, "Always.
He has been broken only once, when Haotianzun occupied Youdu.
" "That time with Haotianzun? " Zhu Santong had not lived through the battle of Youdu, but the primary and great academies of Jingping taught history, and there were records of that battle. Yet there was no record of Shen Mu being broken, only of the wisdom and martial prowess of the Mu Heavenly Venerable. "After I return to Jingping, I must write a book recording all that happened in the Ancestral Court.
" Zhu Santong resolved, "As long as I can return alive!
" After Shen Mu's injuries healed, he studied the fruits of Jingping's reforms with the others, and exchanged knowledge of the techniques and divine powers of Old Man Wuyai and the Young Masters Lingxiao and Zixiao. Zhu Santong, Granny Zhu, and the others, being newcomers, could not get a word in, and only when the talk turned to the fruits of Jingping's reforms did they have a chance to expound to the others.
The Golden Ship of Salvation was like another holy land, where all exchanged what they had gained.
Several more months passed, and all had gained greatly. Then from the Void came seven waves of Dao attainment, showing that seven prehistoric powers beneath the World Tree had attained the Dao.
Mojiang and the others took this opportunity to help Shen Mu repair the Cosmic Bell. Shen Mu's spirits lifted.
He laughed, "Since the Ancestral Court's Yujing City holds its troops in place, let us make a move! We attack Old Man Wuyai!
" In this battle, Zhu Santong, Granny Zhu, and the others took part as well.
Shen Mu held off Old Man Wuyai's assault, and with the Cosmic Bell clearing the way, the group charged into the Great Black Mountain and fought a great slaughter against countless prehistoric powers. Because Zhu Santong was the weakest, he feared he might perish at any moment.
Fortunately, Tiangong, Shen Fengqing, Lady Tianyin, and the Alchemist had come along this time and could heal him in every way.
So long as he was not beaten into Chaos, he could be revived even if he died a thousand times! In this battle, Zhu Santong was beaten to death sixteen times. When the war ended, he returned to the Golden Ship of Salvation covered in blood, feeling as though a lifetime had passed.
On the golden ship, all healed their wounds and continued to exchange what they had gained in battle, with great enthusiasm. As time passed, Old Man Wuyai grew ever stronger, and the divine powers beneath the World Tree ever more numerous.
In his spare time, Zhu Santong recorded every campaign against the World Tree, intending to compile them into a book after he left the Ancestral Court and spread word of the Ancestral Court's wars. In merely two thousand years, Old Man Wuyai grew so powerful that Shen Mu could barely contend with him. So Shen Mu entered the Ancestral Court's Yujing City to discuss with the Third and Fourth Young Masters a joint attack on the World Tree.
