Yan'er watched that ridiculous Great Emperor still trying to extinguish the demonic fire, flapped her wings, and asked curiously, "Young Master, why can they not put out your demonic fire? I look at their essential qi cultivation and the power of their divine abilities, and they are stronger than you by I know not how much. "
"They never learned how!
"
Shen Mu sneered.
"Or rather, the Fire Heavenly Venerable never taught them!
"
Dragon Qilin glanced cautiously at Shen Mu and said, "Cult Master, I think the Southern Heaven is not bad. At the very least the people live and work in peace; so long as they have not yet reached sixty, they need not fear natural disaster. The people here are all very happy, carefree and untroubled.
"
"Those who take no thought for distant troubles will surely have near ones. Born in sorrow, die in pleasure.
If no outside enemy invades, the Southern Heaven can go on like this, a turtle with its head pulled in, never knowing there is a heaven beyond heaven. "
Shen Mu sneered, "If an outside enemy invades, how long do you think the Southern Heaven can hold out, with all these wine-skins and rice-bags, these fellows who do not know how to adapt? Leaving all else aside, my third junior brother Jiang Baigui, leading an army of a few hundred in the Yujing realm, could wipe out all the great divine kingdoms of the Southern Heaven ten times over, including the millions of gods and demons of the Crimson Emperor's Heavenly Palace! "
Rage surged in him; he flicked his sleeve and said, "Yan'er, you go put out the fire! "
Yan'er thought for a moment.
This demonic fire was a divine ability of Youdu, and she had watched from the side while Shen Mu cultivated it.
So she flew forward, transformed into a chubby little girl, waved her hand, and the demonic fire vanished. The disciples of the Fire Heavenly Venerable in the divine city looked appalled and all turned to stare at her. That Emperor-Rank expert hastily paid his respects and said, "Young lady, your abilities are extraordinary.
Might I ask which divine mountain's divine sage you are? Yan Yazi salutes you! "
Yan'er was full of loathing for the Fire Heavenly Venerable, and had no patience for his disciples either.
With a humph she turned and left.
Yan Yazi was stunned.
He flicked his sleeve and said, "No manners at all! Unfit to be a son!
"
The crowd chimed in, "The Heavenly Venerable has said: 'Only petty men and women are difficult to deal with! ' Breeding of this kind is not something everyone has!
"
Shen Mu left the divine city with Dragon Qilin and Yan'er.
Suddenly he halted, staring blankly into space. Dragon Qilin and Yan'er had no idea why he had fallen into a daze.
Then all at once Shen Mu blurted out, "I know the Fire Heavenly Venerable's weakness! "
Dragon Qilin immediately caught on. "The Fire Heavenly Venerable's weakness is the Youdu divine ability! This is a fatal weakness!
No, a deadly weakness! "
Shen Mu nodded and said, "His disciples cannot extinguish my demonic fire, which shows that the Fire Heavenly Venerable does not understand it either, that his attainments in the Youdu divine ability are exceedingly low.
Which is to say, though the Fire Heavenly Venerable's primordial spirit is strong, his soul is very weak. This weakness can rightly be called a deadly weakness!
"
The Fire Heavenly Venerable had killed the Southern Emperor and refined the Southern Emperor's entire cultivation, taking it for his own.
His magic power was boundless; among the Ten Heavenly Venerables, even if he could not rank first, he stood among the top three.
His attainments on the path of fire-type divine abilities were unmatched by any; moreover, he had at the very least fused eighteen Emperor-Rank cultivation methods, and his strength ranked in the upper tier among the Ten Heavenly Venerables. Yet his weakness was too great!
