Chapter 1865 — The Youth, Lingxiao, and Zixiao
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
That was the most colossal war of all; among the seventeen epochs of the universe, its like could scarcely be found again. By the Tenth Epoch, Miluo Palace was gravely weakened.
Taishang, Wuji, and Lingxiao had all been severely wounded by Ling the Heavenly Venerable, and the Master of Miluo Palace had no choice but to act, suppressing Ling the Heavenly Venerable of the Heaven-Openers. Only then were the Heaven-Openers of Tiandu City held down, and they gradually went into hiding and vanished.
Tai Yi went to see Zixiao. At this time Zixiao was still a swordsman, wholly enamored of the sword; his wife, by contrast, was a woman of outstanding quality.
At Zixiao's home Tai Yi met Shen Mu and his daughter, who were there as guests.
The three shared a tacit understanding, and together they witnessed the birth of Zixiao's Melody of Dao Attainment. The true Melody of Dao Attainment of Zixiao made the three of them strike the table in admiration and savor it for a long while. "Zixiao is but a man of the wilds, yet he has won such a wife; how enviable.
He has not yet joined Miluo Palace; do you not intend to leave something behind? " Tai Yi's eyes flickered as he asked Shen Mu.
Shen Mu shook his head.
"I came here only to hear this famous melody. In my battle with Zixiao I held certain victory, and in the end I was defeated by this melody. Zixiao's wife is a remarkable woman; I could not fail to meet her.
" Tai Yi wanted to make a move against Zixiao, but Shen Mu stopped him, saying, "Zixiao too was defeated by this melody. " Tai Yi was puzzled.
Later, the Calamity of Destruction of the Tenth Epoch erupted. At the height of that calamity, Zixiao's Melody of Dao Attainment sounded once more.
Tai Yi came at the sound, and met Shen Mu again.
Shen Mu stood in the calamity holding Shen Lingyun's hand, watching that husband and wife embrace amid the fire of the calamity, a moment that was eternity. The Zixiao of this time was the Zixiao of the Seventeenth Epoch; he chose to remain forever in this moment, together with his wife.
The Zixiao of the Eleventh Epoch entered Miluo Palace, and the Dao arts of Miluo Palace made him the Fourth Young Master. The Twelfth Epoch arrived. Tai Yi sought out Shen Mu and said, "I have found that lanky freak.
He is under the command of the Old Man of Boundlessness.
"
