Chapter 1164 — You Still Owe Me a Favor
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 3
And more than that, the Ancestral Court concerns the very origin of the Creators and the ancient gods — it is a place one simply must go. What does Sister Qiang think? " Consort Qiang giggled: "I have never had much mind of my own. I want to heed Xiao, and I want to heed you two as well — a true dilemma.
How about this: the Ancestral Court shall be sealed, and the profits in the Ancestral Court shall be mine as well!
How is that for a plan? " Shen Mu clapped his hands in praise and said: "Tai Di will surely go to the Ancestral Court to loose the colossal void beasts within it. That man Tai Di is a corpse that will not lie down, and exceedingly hard to deal with. This time, ancient gods such as the Heavenly Duke and the Earth Earl will also have their eyes upon that place.
We four should join hearts and strength and stand together against the perils of the age! " The three Heavenly Venerables wore strange expressions. Consort Qiang laughed: "Mu Heavenly Venerable, which side are you on, exactly?
You would actually join with us to stand against the ancient gods. " Shen Mu roared with laughter and said with righteous dignity: "I stand on the side of justice! " Everyone burst out laughing; even Long Qilin gave a couple of grunting chuckles, which startled the dozing Yan'er awake.
The white cat poked its head out of Consort Yan's arms and stared at Yan'er, hostility in its eyes. The Xiao Heavenly Venerable smiled: "Brother Mu, what do you make of what the Shen Heavenly Venerable said — of using the Way Realm in place of the Heavenly Palace and Heavenly Court realms?
" Consort Qiang and Consort Yan both looked toward Shen Mu as well.
Shen Mu smiled: "Kaihuang's words are striking at first hearing, but on closer thought, his Way Realm, like the Heavenly Palace and Heavenly Court realms, cannot fully represent a cultivator's level. " The three Heavenly Venerables were baffled. Consort Qiang said: "I, for one, think Kaihuang's words hold a great deal of sense — they are merely hard to accept, that is all.
Why does the Mu Heavenly Venerable say so? " Shen Mu smiled: "In the sword way I am of the third heaven, in divine arts the eighth heaven.
Counted by the thirty-six heavens of the Way Realm, my realm can rank only in the lower middle among gods and devils.
And yet when an ordinary expert of the Jade Capital realm crosses blades with me, he dies far more often than he lives. " The white cat gave a start and looked over at him.
Consort Yan stroked the white cat gently and said: "And the Lingxiao realm?
" "I would certainly lose, but the Lingxiao realm need not dream of killing me. " Shen Mu went on: "So you can see that ranking by the Way Realm cannot wholly take in the strength of gods and devils; nor can the Heavenly Palace and Heavenly Court realms.
I am today only at the second level of the Heavenly Palace realm, the True God realm, and yet my strength has already reached a height that rivals the Jade Capital realm. Clearly, both of these as measures fall short. " The white cat narrowed its eyes and dozed off again.
Consort Qiang asked: "Then how does the Mu Heavenly Venerable think realms ought to be divided?
" Shen Mu thought for a moment and said: "I do not know either.
But if I were to divide them by myself, there would be only one realm — the Spirit Fetus realm.
The spirit fetus can reach straight to the ultimate void, and straight to the Heavenly Court as well. What is called the Way Realm, what is called the Heavenly Court and the Heavenly Palace — these are all but small realms within the Spirit Fetus realm. " The three Heavenly Venerables all burst out laughing and shook their heads: "You talk even more nonsense than Kaihuang! " Shen Mu laughed heartily, and the mood in the jeweled carriage was merry indeed. Suddenly Consort Qiang opened the carriage window, and there was a jeweled carriage speeding along, not far from their own.
"It is the Hao Heavenly Venerable's carriage.
