Chapter 1847 — The Last Thread of Survival
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 5
Her white hair surged like a tide toward the Heavenly Wheels, locking them with a series of swift lashes. The white hair was like a living thing, growing madly, and soon it covered every wheel, preventing the Six Paths Heavenly Wheels from turning.
Young Master Wuji raised her hand and struck at the Six Paths Heavenly Wheels.
If she could destroy the wheels and rebuild Guixu, then Shen Mu might not be her match. Her palm passed through the layered radiance formed by the Dao of Reincarnation. In an instant the flesh and blood of her arm rotted and decayed at a flying speed, exposing stark white bone; then flesh and blood grew anew, only to turn to bone once more in the next moment within the light of reincarnation.
Not only that, this tendency to rot and decay followed her magic power and invaded her true body, spreading to her arm and her shoulder. The Dao of Reincarnation was rapidly consuming her cultivation, seeking to drag her into reincarnation and obliterate her utterly. Young Master Wuji gritted her teeth and, heedless of all else, unleashed this strike!
Boom! Her palm slammed heavily onto the Six Paths Heavenly Wheels; the massive wheels collapsed with a thunderous crash, bursting into countless flying fragments of stone.
Joy rose in Young Master Wuji's heart. Just as she was about to rouse her magic power to remake Guixu, a Dao Fruit suddenly flew over and landed amid the rubble. Dao light spilled from the Dao Fruit, and countless chaos stones tumbled through the air, reassembling themselves into the Six Paths Heavenly Wheels.
Before the Heavenly Wheels appeared Shen Mu's small figure. The Dao Fruit floated behind his head, radiating the Dao light of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Hum!
The first Heavenly Wheel trembled, then spun with a howl, swelling and growing larger as its power was driven to the utmost!
Hum, hum, hum!
The power of the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth Heavenly Wheels was awakened in turn, like six halos of chaos of the utmost antiquity, arrayed in a line according to size, one behind another.
Young Master Wuji's heart sank: "Seventh, your Dao of Reincarnation has also attained the Dao? " Shen Mu nodded and said, "I have too many distractions, and the types of great Daos I cultivate are exceedingly numerous. Originally it would have been very difficult for me to attain the Dao through reincarnation.
But fortunately, I have an elder brother. He attained the Dao through reincarnation one step before me, and I learned a great deal from him.
" He was speaking of Shen Fengqing.
Shen Fengqing had inherited Tubo's dying wish, and besides mastering the Dao of Youdu, he had also cultivated the Dao of Reincarnation.
Yintianzi was the founder of the Dao of Reincarnation, but unfortunately his talent was limited, and he had been unable to perfect it.
Shen Mu had improved the Dao of Reincarnation, deducing it to a profound realm of the Dao, and had split the Dao of Reincarnation founded by Yintianzi into six, dividing it into the Six Paths. He could be said to be the guide of both Shen Fengqing and the Heavenly Worthy of You.
It was only that Shen Mu had been distracted on this path, and the Heavenly Worthy of You had focused on the primordial spirit and never exerted himself on the Dao of Reincarnation; after attaining the Dao through the primordial spirit, he had continued to comprehend the Dao of Youdu.
Shen Fengqing, by contrast, because he controlled the Six Paths Heavenly Wheels, had walked the farthest along this path. In the end, it was still Shen Fengqing who was the first to attain the Dao through reincarnation. Shen Fengqing and Shen Mu were in truth originally one person, fundamentally one body; at times the two brothers even shared the same mind, and so it was all the easier for Shen Mu to learn the Dao of Reincarnation from Shen Fengqing.
Among the Dao Fruits on his World Tree, one was the Dao Fruit of Reincarnation.
