dragon qilin's back, following the blind elder at an unhurried pace. Shen Mu offered to let the blind elder ride, but the blind elder would not climb up, leaning on his cane and making his own way toward the Wasteland. After a long while, the blind elder suddenly halted and stopped in his tracks. Shen Mu had the dragon qilin stop, and the many flood dragons around them all came to a halt. A moment later, the blind elder sighed wistfully. "Shen boy, the old butcher told me to ask you what you wanted. I never asked. Now I am asking you—do you want to stay, or return to the Wasteland?" Shen Mu smiled. "If Grandpa Blind tells me to go back, then I will go back. If I said I wanted to stay, would Grandpa Blind allow it?" "No!" Shen Mu changed the subject. "Did the village chief ask Grandpa Tu about the matter of the sun, moon, and stars all being fake?" "Go ask the pig-killer yourself!" Shen Mu said no more. The two continued on their way. As dusk fell, Shen Mu lit a fire and cooked a meal. After they had eaten, the blind elder picked up his bamboo cane and drew a circle around Shen Mu. "Wait here. Do not step outside the circle... not that you could anyway! I am going to steal you a wife. When we return to the village, you will bow in ceremony, marry, and make babies!" Shen Mu was startled. The blind elder seized his bamboo cane, leaped into the air, and vanished. "Steal a wife? Make babies?" Shen Mu's mind reeled. He hurried toward the edge of the circle, but suddenly there was a hum, and the circle the blind elder had drawn blazed with light, flinging him back. "Grandpa Blind's restriction is formidable, but Grandpa Lame taught me the Heaven-Grazing Divine Legs—I fear no restriction!" Shen Mu gathered power in his feet, but the moment he activated the Heaven-Grazing Divine Legs, he was flung back again. The circle the blind elder had drawn was ingenious—its size was precisely calibrated so that his Heaven-Grazing Divine Legs could not reach full speed. The lame elder's Heaven-Grazing Divine Legs required extreme velocity to break through the bonds of space, and only then could it ignore restrictions. "The Ninefold Heaven Gazing Art that Grandpa Blind taught me—is it not meant for breaking restrictions? Open, eyes!" Layers of formation patterns rotated in Shen Mu's pupils as he opened the Jasper Heaven Eye. He gazed intently, then slumped in defeat. He could not understand it. As the founder of the Ninefold Heaven Gazing Art, the blind elder was known as the Holy-Eyed Divine Spear. Because of his powerful holy eye, his mastery of restrictions and formations was unfathomably deep. Even if Shen Mu opened all nine heavens of his eye, he might not be able to break it. "I still have two big eyeballs here—the Solar Jade Eye and the Lunar Jade Eye. Perhaps they can break Grandpa Blind's restriction! But..." He looked troubled. The circle the blind elder had drawn was too small to fit those two eyes. Shen Mu glanced at the dragon qilin and the dozen or so flood dragons, then hastily took out the Jade Register of the Heavenly Emperor, activated the Dragon-Taming Art, and blew the golden flute. One by one the flood dragons roared and attacked the circle. Yet no matter how powerful or numerous these flood dragons were, they could not break the circle the blind elder had drawn. The light barrier of the circle mended itself as soon as it was broken, constantly shifting, keeping him trapped. Shen Mu did not dare let the flood dragons strike with full force. If they broke the circle and he could not withstand the backlash, he would be blasted to death as well. He was completely out of ideas. He could only sit obediently in the circle and wait for the blind elder to return with a stolen wife. The massive platform of the Sun-Shooting Divine Cannon was still flying through the air toward the capital. On the platform, Emperor Yanfeng watched the burning alchemical furnaces with immense pain. What these furnaces burned was not medicinal stones, but s
