The Herdsman of the Wasteland Page 2 of 3
If you are willing, you may follow me. If not, then go to Fengdu, and I will return you to the Patriarch. " The Dragon Qilin hesitated a moment, then asked, "Sect Master, does lightning hurt? " Shen Mu glared at it and was about to explode, when the Dragon Qilin hastily said, "I'm willing! " Shen Mu calculated for a moment and said, "Relying on you alone to activate the Ancestral Dragon Eight Tones will still make it difficult to vibrate and dissolve the medicinal power of the spirit pills in your excess flesh. Even with my help, it will be hard to dissolve the medicinal power in a short time. We must ask others for help. Those who cultivate the Ancestral Dragon Grand Mystery Art, besides Sister Xiu, include Jiang Miao and the Dragon Village experts Qing Yan, Qing Ya, and others.
" Ling Yuxiu said excitedly, "I'll go notify True God Pang Yu and have him invite them over.
" Shen Mu nodded, looked around, and said, "We also need to find an open space.
There is an open area near the city center that will serve. . . Dragon Fatty, follow me there!
" The Dragon Qilin hastily followed him, trotting in small steps, falling all along the way, smashing houses in Licheng to rubble.
Fortunately, most of the common people in Licheng had already migrated to Jingping; apart from the garrison, there were no civilians left in the city. Shen Mu arrived at the open area in the city center.
True God Pang Yu came over with many officers and soldiers and said, "Sect Master Shen, how much space do you need? " Shen Mu looked around and saw that the area was extremely flat, about a hundred zhang in each direction. He said, "The space is already large enough, but I fear the Five Thunders Pot's power is too strong and might threaten the outside.
It would be best to have a treasure to cover the surroundings, so the heavenly thunder does not leak out. " True God Pang Yu laughed and said, "I have a treasure called the Nine Heavens Cloud Dragon Cover, refined from cloud vapor.
Thunder is born from cloud vapor, and this Cloud Dragon Cover can absorb thunder, so the Five Thunders Pot will not threaten the outside. " He tossed up the Nine Heavens Cloud Dragon Cover, and cloud vapor immediately spread from above Licheng. The cloud vapor descended to the ground, transforming into layer upon layer of cloud mist that enveloped the hundred-zhang space, forming a hemisphere.
Yet within the cloud vapor there were as many as nine layers of cloud, interlocking layer upon layer. Shen Mu thanked him. At this time, Qing Yan, Qing Ya, and others from the Dragon Village arrived upon hearing the news and paid their respects to Shen Mu, asking, "Brother Shen, what matter have you called us here for?
" Shen Mu explained the situation. When Qing Yan, Qing Ya, and the others saw the Dragon Qilin, they were all startled and said one after another, "This is also of the dragon race?
A disgrace to our ancestors!
We should certainly lend our aid. " After another moment, two youths who looked like twins walked over together—none other than Shen Yu and Jiang Miao.
Shen Mu examined them carefully, somewhat hesitant, unable to determine which was Jiang Miao and which was Shen Yu. Both youths had very high cultivation realms.
One had cultivated to the Heaven-Man realm, his spirit primordial a green dragon coiled behind him, a hornless dragon swallowing river water. The other had cultivated to the Seven Stars realm, his spirit primordial not revealed. "Sect Master, I am Jiang Miao," the youth with the hornless dragon coiled behind him said helplessly.
The other youth, Shen Yu, also wore a helpless expression and blinked. He had originally lent the little dragon to Shen Mu, never expecting the little dragon to take human form, assume his appearance, and advance by leaps and bounds in cultivation—now far surpassing him. He had previously treated Jiang Miao as his own domesticated exotic beast, and now their roles seemed somewhat reversed.
Fortunately, Shen Mu had arranged for them to become sworn brothers of different races, which was not too embarrassing.
Shen Mu said apologetically, "Everyone, my Dragon Fatty is lazy by nature, and now I must trouble you all to help refine away this excess flesh. Shen feels deeply ashamed. " Everyone laughed and said, "Sect Master is too polite.
By activating the Ancestral Dragon Eight Tones, we also get to cultivate and can even swallow some heavenly thunder—two benefits at once. Let us not delay—we begin at once! " Shen Mu had the Dragon Qilin enter the Nine Heavens Cloud Dragon Cover and placed the Five Thunders Pot in the center.
Qing Yan, Qing Ya, Jiang Miao, and the others each revealed their true forms, transforming into hundred-zhang divine dragons that danced around the Nine Heavens Cloud Dragon Cover. Shen Mu also stood within the cover.
Looking up, he saw nine layers of heavenly clouds and mist, and through them could vaguely see the divine dragons dancing and weaving through the clouds. The Dragon Qilin stood trembling to one side, the Five Thunders Pot right beside it.
"Sect Master, are you not coming out? " Jiang Miao asked. Shen Mu shook his head.
"My Mystic Body Three Elixirs Art also needs the aid of the Five Thunders Pot's Five Great Cloud Thunders for cultivation, and I must also supervise Dragon Fatty. " The Dragon Qilin's face turned ashen.
Shen Mu struck the Five Thunders Pot with his palm and shouted, "Dragon Fatty, activate the Ancestral Dragon Grand Mystery Art!
Everyone, lend me your strength!
" The Dragon Qilin hastily activated the Ancestral Dragon Grand Mystery Art. Within its body came the Ancestral Dragon Eight Tones.
At the same time, from the mouths of the many divine dragons outside came wave after wave of rising and falling dragon roars.
The dragons danced, and the sound of dragon cries vibrated toward them. The Ancestral Dragon Eight Tones from outside and the Ancestral Dragon Eight Tones within the bodies of Shen Mu and the Dragon Qilin inside the cover resonated and reverberated, vibrating their spirit primordials and physical bodies!
And from the Five Thunders Pot, heavenly thunder suddenly rolled. In an instant, countless bolts of multicolored heavenly thunder crashed down. Within the hundred-zhang area, lightning fell like rain, dense beyond measure. Shen Mu and the Dragon Qilin were instantly as though pierced from all directions by sharp silver needles!
Shen Mu activated the Mystic Body Three Elixirs Art. A halo of light appeared behind his head, and the Dragon Buddha danced along the halo—he had integrated the Emperor Shakra Heavenly King Scripture into his Mystic Body Three Elixirs Art. The Dragon Qilin let out a long howl, resounding and clear.
Shen Mu shouted, "The Azure Dragon follows wind and clouds, commands thunder and lightning—this is your best method of cultivation! Dragon Fatty, if you wail and cry to heaven and earth, then go back to Fengdu!
" The Dragon Qilin hastily clenched its teeth and desperately activated the Ancestral Dragon Grand Mystery Art to resist the heavenly thunder.
Shen Mu suddenly shook his body and manifested the three-headed, six-armed form, seizing the opportunity to comprehend how to fuse the Creation Mystic Scripture with the Immortal Consciousness. "The Chiming Divine Son will surely fuse these two arts and repair his own flaw.
Now let us see whose aptitude and comprehension are superior—who can comprehend it first!
" Outside, everyone watched with pounding hearts. Within the Nine Heavens Cloud Dragon Cover, nothing could be seen—only dazzling white lightning!
True God Pang Yu was also somewhat uneasy: "If this lightning erupts, I fear most of Licheng will be destroyed. I hope my cover can hold.
