Chapter 1137 — The Heavenly Dipper Combat Qi Formula
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 3
With six Jade Capital realm deities joining hands, their combat strength already rivaled that of Lingxiao realm gods and demons! That Yu Chudu had held out until now was already no small feat; his capture was only a matter of time. Suddenly, Shen Mu felt something and looked up.
A tower ship was sailing over, arriving above the Yunluo Heavenly Palace. Spears were planted all along the ship, and the spears were hung all over with heads. The heads' mouths gaped open, and the spearheads thrust out through them, making the heads look all the more hideous.
The ways of the West Heaven's gods and demons were indescribably savage, still preserving the manners of the barbaric age at the dawn of civilization!
A man in purple robes stood at the ship's prow with his hands clasped behind his back, his gaze fixed on the young deity. Shen Mu looked up. The man in purple felt it, swept his gaze over, raised an eyebrow, and called out in a clear voice: "Heavenly Venerable Mu!
" The tower ship halted. The man in purple stepped down from it and bowed, saying, "Disciple of Heavenly Venerable Hao, Star Lord Tusikong beneath the White Emperor's seat, Jing Baichuan, pays his respects to Heavenly Venerable Mu.
" Shen Mu sized up the man in purple and said in surprise, "You are the Star-Dipper Ancient God of the West Heaven Palace, Star Lord Tusikong? Why would an ancient god take Heavenly Venerable Hao as his master and become his disciple?
" Jing Baichuan laughed.
"There is something Heavenly Venerable Mu does not know. Star Lord Tusikong is dead — I killed him.
So I took his place and became the Star Lord of the Tusikong Star Domain. I plucked off Tusikong's head and refined it into a divine weapon, and I ate his flesh as well.
The flesh and blood of an ancient god is exquisite in flavor. Heavenly Venerable Mu, have you ever tasted it?
" Shen Mu shook his head. "Many ancient gods have died at my hands, but I have never tasted their flesh and blood. " Jing Baichuan laughed heartily. "I too have heard that Heavenly Venerable Mu once killed ancient gods — but that was in the Longhan era. The ancient gods of that time were savage and cruel; though they were born bearing the Great Dao of heaven and earth, they did not understand their own dao.
The ancient gods of today have delved deep into their own dao, and their abilities surpass those of the Longhan era by I know not how many times. " Shen Mu gave a soft "oh" and said, "If my worthy nephew could kill Star Lord Tusikong and take his place, then his abilities must be a notch higher still.
" Jing Baichuan, smiling, watched the six experts besiege Yu Chudu and said unhurriedly, "Heavenly Venerable Mu, tell me — if I traveled back to the early years of Longhan, could I become Heavenly Venerable Jing? " Shen Mu smiled. "Perhaps. Or perhaps you would find no burial ground even for your corpse. Worthy nephew, the heads on your ship.
. .
" "They are the disciples of the Yunluo Emperor. " Jing Baichuan said leisurely, "The Yunluo Emperor rebelled and was captured. His disciples, unmindful of heaven's grace, actually fled in rebellion into the Nine Provinces world and turned to banditry.
I could not be bothered with them at first, but the Heavenly Court gave the order, so I had no choice but to come clean up the mess. These heads are the capital with which I will go to the Heavenly Court and trade for military merit.
If Heavenly Venerable Mu's head could be traded for military merit, I would gladly hang it up there too — only, alas.
. . " Shen Mu laughed. "My head is worth a great deal. At least seven of the Ten Heavenly Venerables want it. As the saying goes, wealth and honor are sought amid danger.
Worthy nephew, you might be doomed beyond redemption, or you might rise to dazzling heights. Do you not want to try? " Jing Baichuan's eyebrows twitched, and he chuckled.
"Heavenly Venerable, do not tempt your little nephew. My self-restraint is very poor.
