The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
" Young Master Lingxiao returned the body to Hao Tianzun and said, "Old Seven is cunning beyond measure, and it is hard to say whether he hid some mystery within that sword stroke, yet after my probing I felt no lingering divine power. Still, we cannot fail to guard against it.
You are an Attainer of my Miluo Palace, and I will not watch you come to harm. " He summoned the many Hall Masters and Attainers of the Miluo Palace and commanded, "Fellow Daoist Hao's foundation is shallow.
You may impart to him the arts of my Miluo Palace, whether the arts of Attainers or Hall Masters, or even the arts of us Young Masters, all may be studied by him at will. As for that sword wound between his brows, you must study it closely and see whether Old Seven tampered with it. I must go and look in on Old Four, lest his Dao heart be harmed. " All assented.
Hao Tianzun's heart was seized with shock and joy, for this time he could count it a blessing in disguise, having at last won the recognition of the Miluo Palace. "How mighty are the arts of the Miluo Palace? That fellow Mu Tianzun rose only after touching upon them, leaving my cultivation and strength far behind! If I gain the whole inheritance of the Miluo Palace, my speed of cultivation will only be faster than his, never slower! This is fortune turning, adversity spent and prosperity come!
" He was confident he was weaker than no man, lacking only a chance, and now the chance had come before him at last!
The Attainers and Hall Masters in the Jade Capital City examined one by one the sword wound on Hao Tianzun's brow, but even Young Master Lingxiao had found no lingering divine power, and they naturally found nothing either.
They examined Hao Tianzun's body as well and found no hidden peril, and each sank into thought. Hao Tianzun smiled. "My lords may rest easy. Though I took no part in the battle of Guixu, I watched it throughout.
At that time Seventh Young Master Shen Mu had exhausted every shred of his strength to undo Guixu and had no power left to strike at Young Master Lingxiao.
That sword of his was mere bluff. " "So we hope.
" They let the matter drop and led him into the Dao treasury of the Miluo Palace, leaving it open to him.
"The arts of the Miluo Palace may be studied by any man. Fellow Daoist Hao, here the records are vast as the sea of mist. Read as you please.
If there is aught you do not grasp, come and ask us freely.
" Hao Tianzun was again shocked and delighted, thanking them repeatedly. "May I study the Palace Master's own records as well? " Hall Master Huadu smiled.
"You may.
Not only may the Attainers of the Miluo Palace study the Teacher's arts, but all others may study them as well. The records of the Miluo Palace were never a secret.
" He looked deeply at Hao Tianzun, his meaning pointed. "Yet how much one can learn, and whether one can comprehend the mysteries, rests wholly upon one's own talent and insight. Fellow Daoist Hao's insight is uncommon, but your foundation is unsteady. I advise you to begin with the supreme arts of the Hall Masters and Attainers and first make your foundation firm. When your foundation is firm, study the Young Masters' arts, and only last touch upon the Teacher's arts. That will be easier to take up.
To study the Teacher's arts directly requires wit and insight like that of the Young Masters.
" Hao Tianzun said solemnly, "The clumsy bird flies first.
I am willing to spend the extra care and study the Teacher's arts first. " The other Hall Masters laughed softly among themselves, led him before the collection left by the Master of the Miluo Palace, and left him there, each going his own way. Hao Tianzun's heart pounded wildly.
"My fortune has come at last! Mu Tianzun comprehended a single Hongmeng rune and could become a Seventh Young Master.
With the Master's supreme arts in hand, my attainment is bound to soar far above his!
