Chapter 1527 — Orchid Heart, Elegant Nature
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
He examined them one by one, then shook his head: "These divine weapons are too powerful; their might is very hard to erase. And even if the might could be erased, there is no Dao fire fierce enough to melt them down and forge them anew. I use my dantian as a furnace and have cultivated a whole body of Dao fire, but I still do not have that kind of strength. " Shen Mu asked: "What if we forged them at the Southern Pole Heaven's ancestral land of Dao fire?
" The Silent Craftsman's eyes lit up.
He nodded slowly: "If we forged them at the ancestral land of Dao fire, then it could be done.
The Great Dao might within these divine weapons would surely all be burned and melted away.
Only, that ancestral land of Dao fire is in the hands of the Fire Heavenly Venerable.
. . " "It is no longer in the Fire Heavenly Venerable's hands. " Shen Mu gathered the divine weapons into his primordial fetus divine repository and said: "The ancestral land of Dao fire was seized by the Moon Heavenly Venerable during the Battle of Xuandu and exiled. Where exactly it was exiled to, only the Moon Heavenly Venerable can say.
I will set out at once for the Land of No Sorrow to see the Moon Heavenly Venerable.
" Granny Zhu said at once: "Shen'er, I will go with you to the Land of No Sorrow! " The Silent Craftsman hesitated, then said: "I will go too. " Shen Mu said: "Grandpa Silent Craftsman, stay here — you still have the Azure Heaven Banner to repair.
And Granny is needed to instruct Hua Xuanxiu and Patriarch Wenyuan.
I can go alone. " Granny Zhu laughed: "Others may stay behind, but I must go! I want to see what Langwan and the Moon Heavenly Venerable look like — whether they are pretty. " Shen Mu could not persuade her to change her mind, and so let her have her way.
To Xu Shenghua he said: "These past days have been a great trouble to you, Brother Xu.
" Xu Shenghua said: "Where righteousness lies, duty permits no refusal.
Besides, I do not care for running about; to be able to stay here is a stroke of good fortune. " Shen Mu left him the leaves of Taiyi's Dao Tree, to be kept for a time of need; he also left the divine bow behind, entrusting it to Wei Suifeng, and gave the Glazed Azure Heaven Banner to the Crown Prince Youming to hold in his keeping.
He had also meant to leave Taiyi's staff behind, for Lan Yutian to hold in his stead, but Lan Yutian shook his head: "Taiyi wants you to follow the map and save him; perhaps it has something to do with this staff. Carry it with you for now.
" Shen Mu did not press him, and put the staff away. He made ready to leave Black Mountain.
Granny Zhu packed her baggage and quickly caught up with him, laughing: "I hear the Divine King Langwan is a very beautiful girl. " Shen Mu grunted in assent.
Granny Zhu said again: "I hear the Moon Heavenly Venerable is very beautiful too — ethereal and elegant. " Shen Mu grunted again.
"The Supreme Emperor's female Sword God is a fine-looking one as well. " Granny Zhu went on: "I have seen her. Though she is of the dragon race, she has an orchid heart and an elegant nature.
" Shen Mu grunted again.
Granny Zhu quickened her steps to keep up with him. Shen Mu employed the Moon Heavenly Venerable's divine art; he brought out the Supreme Void Scripture, contracting space itself, so that they traveled with extraordinary speed.
"Emperor Yanxiu is endowed with the beauty and spirit of heaven and earth, and is a remarkable woman as well.
" Granny Zhu said: "And Heavenly Venerable Ling — I wonder what she looks like?
" Shen Mu halted and said helplessly: "Granny, what exactly are you trying to say?
" Granny Zhu laughed: "I am old now, and if I do not have a child in my arms I always feel empty.
" "Granny, of all the women you just named, apart from Yanxiu, which one is not many times older than you?
" Shen Mu said: "A great man in this world — if he cannot bring peace to the four quarters, how can he have a family.
. .
" Granny Zhu flew into a rage.
