Chapter 1854 — The Wonder of the Seventh-Ranked One
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 5
Taishi, Shangjun, Sishen, Heavenly Lord You, Shen Fengqing, Hua Xuanxiu, and the rest each fought their way forward, dropping into the Cauldron in an attempt to seize these strange treasures, while Miluo Palace's Hall Masters and accomplished Daoists kept guard beside the six great treasures, battling them in fierce combat. Elsewhere, Lan Yutian said to Xu Shenghua, "I am going into the Jade Capital City to take the treasure of Young Master Hundun, the seventh.
Stay here and hold them off—you must not let them break through! " Xu Shenghua glanced around and said, "There must be traps around Young Master Hundun's treasure.
Several of Miluo Palace's Hall Masters are missing. " "My Empty Hands Art is without equal under heaven.
" Lan Yutian rose into the air and said, "I shall not return empty-handed. " Xu Shenghua frowned, then smoothed his brow and drove the Golden Ship of World-Deliverance forward; aboard it were the remaining Jingping accomplished Daoists, and they charged the army of accomplished Daoists pouring out of the Jade Capital City.
Ahead, countless dao trees flew out of the city, dao fruits filled the sky, and numberless accomplished Daoists came charging at the Golden Ship of World-Deliverance. Xu Shenghua caught a glimpse of Lan Yutian's figure flickering through the thicket of dao trees before vanishing, and his heart eased a little: "Lan Yutian's thieving skills have not fallen off—they have grown more marvelous still.
In those years the Saint of Thieves took him stealing through all the heavens and myriad worlds, and laid a fine foundation for him. But then again, Nanxiang Yuanjun said that Young Master Hundun's treasure was pressed beneath the meditation cushion of Miluo Palace's master.
Strange. Why would the master of Miluo Palace suppress none of the other Young Masters' strange treasures, and suppress only Shen Mu's.
. .
" Just now, before Nanxiang Yuanjun dissolved into the Dao, she had said that Shen Mu's strange treasure was pressed beneath a meditation cushion.
To say it was pressed was in truth to spare a Young Master's dignity; Xu Shenghua's mind was like a bright mirror, and he knew she meant that Shen Mu's strange treasure was suppressed by Miluo Palace's master.
This bewildered him greatly.
Miluo Palace had seven Young Masters who forged seven strange treasures; the master of Miluo Palace suppressed none of them, and suppressed only Shen Mu's.
There was something uncanny in this.
"Lan Yutian has gone to steal the treasure; the venture is already perilous enough. I hope no new trouble sprouts.
But the worst of it is that he has no sense of direction, and the Jade Capital City is so vast.
. . " Lan Yutian threaded his way through the army of accomplished Daoists and the thickets of dao trees, and vaguely saw that some accomplished Daoists were attempting to brand their own Great Daos upon the ultimate void. Zuting had originally been sealed by Shen Mu, and even the ultimate void had been dissolved away by him with the Chaos Sea; now the Jade Capital City had long since broken free of Zuting, giving these accomplished Daoists their chance to brand the ultimate void. The reason the Jingping accomplished Daoists were stronger in battle than those of Miluo Palace lay not only in the Jingping Reforms, which had created many postnatal Great Daos, but also in the fact that Miluo Palace's accomplished Daoists were not complete in their attainment.
They had attained the Dao in past cosmic epochs, but not in the seventeenth epoch. If they could brand their own Great Daos upon the ultimate void, they would become complete accomplished Daoists, their cultivation and strength swelling enormously—and then Jingping would have no hope of victory at all.
"I must find Young Master Hundun's strange treasure quickly!
