Ever since I first laid eyes on you I have been unable to get you off my mind, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
If you lived next door to me, I could grow much closer to you. " Hong Heavenly Venerable was taken aback for a moment, then said with a smile, "Why do you say that? " Shen Mu said, "Dahong is the Grand Emperor. The Grand Emperor's divine consciousness was boundless in power.
When I gravely wounded him back then, his divine consciousness was damaged, but not just anyone could erase him. Yet Lady Yuanmu's Guixu ability can destroy all things. Among the Three Kings of High Antiquity, the Divine King Boyang was stuffed into Guixu by the Empress and Yuanmu and ground to ash, not a trace remaining. " Hong Heavenly Venerable said with a smile, "Lady Yuanmu is not the only one who can destroy the Grand Emperor's divine consciousness. " Shen Mu looked toward the distant Taichu mineral vein and saw that Xiao Heavenly Venerable had already flown there. He frowned slightly.
Xiao Heavenly Venerable had gone there for Gu Xiao's corpse and the Imperial Sword, and the Taichu mineral vein was extremely useful to him; he had to obtain it.
That he flew there at the first opportunity was only to be expected. "Then among the ancient gods, who else can erase the Grand Emperor's divine consciousness? " Shen Mu asked humbly for instruction. "Heavenly Duke, Tubo, the Heavenly Emperor, the Empress, the Earth Mother, even Tianyin—all of them can destroy a portion of the Grand Emperor's divine consciousness. " Hong Heavenly Venerable also looked into the distance.
Seeing Langxuan God Emperor flying toward the Jade Pool of the Ancestral Court, he sighed inwardly and said, "That treasure site has fallen to Langxuan.
Because of this demon body of mine, Gong Heavenly Venerable misunderstands me, and I do not care to argue.
I only never expected Mu Heavenly Venerable to misunderstand me as well. Since Mu Heavenly Venerable has the power to protect himself, then we need not be neighbors after all.
" Shen Mu was startled.
"Who exactly are you?
" "Heaven's course has its constant order; it does not exist for Mu, nor perish for Xiao. Meet it with order and there is fortune; meet it with chaos and there is calamity.
" Hong Heavenly Venerable's great sleeves fluttered as he walked forward, saying with a smile, "I am merely an observer who has wandered from remote antiquity to the present. The ancient god Heavenly Emperor would not let me see the Heavenly Court, the Earth Mother would not let me see the Yuan Realm, and Tubo would not let me see the Nether Capital, so I had no choice but to make the journey myself. " Shen Mu's body shook violently, and he stood frozen in place. After a moment he came to his senses, hurried after him, and sent a voice transmission through a ripple of divine consciousness: "If you are him, why did you still move against the Western Emperor? " Hong Heavenly Venerable drifted far away and waved his great sleeve.
"To kill her is to protect her, to help her break free of the ancient gods' bonds.
But since you wish to protect her, I will go along with it and let her owe you a favor.
At the Jade Pool I saved you, and you must repay me that favor, so I want you to write me an IOU! " Shen Mu could not catch up. He stood there dumbfounded, then after a moment shook his head and laughed. "Truly worthy of the old sly.
. . old hand!
" Yan'er and Long Qilin caught up with him. Long Qilin asked, "Sect Master, was it Heavenly Duke who killed Dahong back then? " Shen Mu nodded. "It should be him.
When I intercepted Dahong as he was destroying the Xiaohan Heavenly Court, both Dahong and I unleashed terrifying waves of divine consciousness. That could not be hidden from Heavenly Duke.
He must have taken advantage of the moment when I left gravely wounded and Dahong fled gravely wounded to waylay and kill Dahong. " He was lost in thought for a moment, then shook his head.
