6The three men and the dragon qilin sat on the boat, which turned to sail into the endless darkness.
7
8"Big Brother Tian even has the title of heavenly king?" asked the dragon qilin curiously.
9
10Tian Shu snorted and looked around without saying a word.
11
12Qi Jiuyi was completely sober and sat between the dragon qilin and Tian Shu uneasily. He was nervous like a small bride that had just entered the bridal room. "There aren't many people who know the title Founding Emperor God Dynasty Left Assistant Minister, but there are many people that know the title of Mingdu Heavenly King."
13
14Qin Mu also became curious and asked, "What's the origin of Mingdu Heavenly King? Could it be related to Mingdu Black Deity?"
15
16Qi Jiuyi's expression flickered, and he took a glance at Tian Shu who was shivering over in the corner. Tian Shu was even more nervous than him, allowing him to be at ease. "I've once heard Red Deity talk about the title of Mingdu Heavenly King, and back then, Red Deity made me go to Mingdu to learn spells. She told me numerous taboos of Mingdu and that Mingdu Heavenly King was a name we shouldn't mention."
17
18Qin Mu took a glance at Tian Shu and was astonished. "Why is that?"
19
20"Black Deity has a grudge with Mingdu Heavenly King."
21
22Qi Jiuyi calmed down and said, "Earth Count actually confers the title of Mingdu Heavenly King. I've heard Red Deity mention before that Big Brother Tian has extremely high attainments in the art of the soul. He's able to enter and leave Youdu at will and had quite a reputation; thus, Earth Count viewed him highly and conferred him the title of Mingdu Heavenly King. Red Deity said Earth Count actually had ill intentions. His original intention was to sow discord between Mingdu Heavenly King and Black Deity to make them fight."
23
24Elder Messenger of Death said, "Don't think so lowly of Earth Count. Earth Count felt he epitomized the system of Youdu's divine art like Black Deity and felt he wouldn't be any weaker than Black Deity in the future. Of course, there was also some intention of sowing discord."
25
26Qi Jiuyi said, "Afterwards, Black Deity's successors went to find Mingdu Heavenly King for trouble and Big Brother Tian Shu killed many of his disciples."
27
28Tian Shu couldn't help revealing a pleased look and said with a smile, "I'm a heavenly king that's on the same level as Black Deity, how could I be weaker than his disciple?"
29
30Qin Mu had a weird expression as he examined Tian Shu. He totally couldn't see the drunkard that viewed wine as his life being so famous as to have the same reputation as Son of Heaven Yin.
31
32"He completely killed Black Deity's disciple, and even his big disciple died in the hands of Mingdu Heavenly King; thus, Black Deity went to find him personally."
33
34Qi Jiuyi hesitated and said, "Red Deity said even though Big Brother Tian was defeated, Black Deity didn't manage to kill him and let him escaped instead."
35
36Tian Shu was full of smiles and chuckled. "Even though I'm not his match, I'm still a heavenly king, after all, it's not so easy if he wants to kill me."
37
38"And then, Big Brother Tian fell out with Earth Count," Qin Mu continued.
39
40Tian Shu's expression turned ashen, and he collapsed on the small boat. He said with a weeping face, "What can I do? Founding Emperor sent Imperial Gate Divine Knife to me and wanted me to chop Earth Count, how would I dare to? And so Founding Emperor gave me a lot of fine wine, and the wine was truly delicious. After drinking, I would even dare to chop Founding Emperor, much less Earth Count! Therefore, I took the knife and went into Youdu rashly. I was only sober when Earth Count caught me..."
41
42Qin Mu looked at him with a weird expression.
43
44Tian Shu looked very timid and yet he loved to drink. He was usually timid, but once he drank, he was reckless.
45
46Before he drank, he was a field rat, and after drinking he was as fierce as a tiger. That was his true portrayal.
47
48Elder Messenger of Death didn't drive the small boat to his manor, and instead, went down to the body of Earth Count where the horn of the nine bends was.
49
50Tian Shu's expression was pale, and he looked at Qin Mu in a fluster.
51
52Qin Mu muttered, "We might be going to meet the true body of Earth Count, don't be scared, don't be scared..."
53
54Gradually, they could see the eyes of Earth Count flying closer and closer. The bigger the three eyes were, the harder it would be to see the full appearance of Earth Count.
55
56Qin Mu could still see countless ghosts resting on Earth Count's skin and countless lands where countless ghosts were living. They built beautiful cities, and there were even some places that were at war. They fought until Earth Count's body cracked, but it couldn't hurt Earth Count at all.
57
58He even saw numerous monsters with huge body sizes carrying palaces, and those palaces were chained to their bodies. They walked forward on Earth Count's body, taking each step with difficulty.
59
60"Living in those halls are the primordial spirits of strong sacred gods; monsters are being subdued by them to be mounts."
61
62Tian Shu said, "Those that have a little status in Youdu would rear a monster or two and treat them as mounts. When they visit their friends and families, they will let these monsters carry them and make them look imposing. Back then, when I was mingling in Youdu, I was also so impressive."
63
64Elder Messenger of Death said with a smile, "After Heavenly King meets Earth Count, you can continue to be so impressive."
65
66Tian Shu had a look of despair and didn't say another word.
67
68Qin Mu consoled him, saying, "Don't worry, he's scaring you. Earth Count has a very high tolerance; he won't do anything to you."
69
70Elder Messenger of Death sneered and said, "The same goes for you as well. Don't think Earth Count doesn't know. You are the one who had been stealing his power recently, am I right? The evil you have done, Earth Count will remember it."
71
72Qin Mu said with a smile, "Official Sovereign, I was also doing it to save Goddess of Heavenly Yin. Goddess of Heavenly Yin manages the dead spirits when the soul shatters, and if the soul doesn't shatter, Earth Count manages them. I felt I couldn't let a beauty like Goddess of Heavenly Yin perish just like that and thus I took without asking. I borrowed a little power from Earth Count and Heaven Duke. Heaven Duke even said what I did was good and right."
73
74"Heaven Duke said that?" Elder Messenger of Death asked curiously.
75
76Qin Mu said righteously, "Of course! Heaven Duke is highly principled, and he supported my action very much. Heaven Duke even said Earth Count would understand and approve of my action. You must be wrong when you said Earth Count would remember my mistake. I guess we shouldn't disturb Earth Count even though we are back in Youdu, why don't you send us back first?"
77
78"We have already arrived."
79
80Elder Messenger of Death was calm, and he disregarded his sincere and honest expression. The boat sailed leisurely towards Earth Count's third eye, and they couldn't see the eye any longer. They could only see boundless red light.
81
82The small boat sailed into the red light, and Qin Mu's body trembled when he turned back to take a look. He could actually see countless worlds through Earth Count's eye, and the souls of the countless lifeforms were all captured in his eyes!
83
84"Truly remarkable abilities..."
85
86In the depths of the red light was a circular platform that had a radius of three thousand yards. On the circular platform was a palace, and the small boat sailed to the circular platform to stop by the side.
87
88Qin Mu and the rest got off the boat, and Tian Shu nearly slumped to the ground. At that moment, they heard a gentle voice speaking with a laugh. "Since Earth Count has visitors, I won't stay and disturb you anymore. I shall come to visit another day. No need to send me off."
89
90Qin Mu heard the voice, and he was slightly stunned. He felt that it sounded familiar.
91
92Elder Messenger of Death moored the boat and said, "When the guest is out, we can enter."
93
94After a moment, Qin Mu saw a slender man walking out of the palace, and that man looked very handsome. He had a bearing that couldn't be described, and people would find it refreshing to look at him. They couldn't help having a favorable impression of him.
95
96Qin Mu could imagine if Apothecary's face was still around, he must have been as handsome as well.
97
98Tian Shu's expression changed slightly, and he snorted.
99
100That handsome man walked over and greeted the Elder Messenger of Death. "Official Sovereign."
101
102Elder Messenger of Death returned his greeting.
103
104That handsome man saw Tian Shu and was slightly stunned. He said with a smile, "So it's Heavenly King, you are still alive."
105
106Tian Shu changed from his earlier helplessness and stood straight. His horns gave off a cold divine light, and he said, "Thanks to your blessing, I'm not dead yet!"
107
108That handsome man looked around with a smile. "It's not bad that you can escape out after Yan Shaoqing trapped you in the Imperial Gate Divine Knife, however, you still chopped off Earth Count's horn so it's hard to say if you can remain alive. That's right, I knew you like wine; therefore, I've told Yan Shaoqing to bring some fine wine to you, how is the taste?"
109
110Tian Shu's mountain goat beard floated up, and he couldn't contain his anger.
111
112The handsome man gave a slight smile. "This is Youdu, don't be reckless. That's right, you have already been reckless once. Jiuyi, why are you here too?"
113
114Qi Jiuyi's expression changed slightly, and he walked out from the back of the dragon qilin. He greeted, "Jiuyi pays my respect to master!"
115
116The handsome man examined him and frowned. "You only have your corporeal body left, where is your corporeal body?"
117
118Qi Jiuyi revealed a look of shame and said, "I got sucked into Imperial Gate Divine Knife, so my corporeal body is still in the Great Ruins."
119
120Qin Mu's heart jumped, and he instantly knew who the handsome man was.
121
122'Mingdu Black Deity, and also Son of Heaven Yin!'
123
124His aura wavered, but he suppressed it immediately and remained calm. He thought to himself, 'Why has Son of Heaven Yin come to find Earth Count? Is it because of the incident with Goddess of Heavenly Yin? I stole Earth Count's power to revive Goddess of Heavenly Yin, and this fact definitely wouldn't escape his eyes.'
125
126Son of Heaven Yin seemed to sense his aura wavering and looked at him before praising. "A stable primordial spirit, truly a good youth. Heavenly King, is this your disciple?"
127
128Tian Shu chuckled. "None of your business."
129
130Son of Heaven Yin looked at Qin Mu and revealed a warm smile. "There's no future in following this rebel, if there's a chance, you can find me in Mingdu. I admire young people like you."
131
132Qin Mu had fear and trepidation as he looked at Tian Shu before looking at Son of Heaven Yin. He seemed to be helpless.
133
134Son of Heaven Yin took a step to leave. "Jiuyi, since Earth Count wants to meet you guys, I shan't take you away by force. After you have settled the things here, go to the world of the living and find your corporeal body, then leave there immediately. Your senior brothers have started to descend the disaster. My visit this time is to discuss with Earth Count on how to deal with the billions of souls that will suddenly die in the lower bound."
135
136"Understood." Qi Jiuyi bowed and only raised his head after he disappeared.
137
138Qin Mu narrowed his eyes. Son of Heaven Yin's qi field was ample, and his imposing manner had always been pressing down on Tian Shu steadily. He was truly a powerful person.
139
140Qi Jiuyi took a glance at him and said, "My master didn't recognize you."
141
142"Much thanks." Qin Mu bowed.
143
144Qi Jiuyi opened his mouth and suddenly sighed. "We are originally enemies, yet I've become sworn brothers with the dragon qilin when I was muddle-headed, so it wasn't good for me to betray you. How did it become like this?"
145
146He had a blank look in his gaze.
147
148Tian Shu was curious. "Qin Mu, what had you done? Why can't your identity be revealed to Black Deity?"
149
150Qin Mu sighed and said, "It's hard to explain with a few words."
151
152Tian Shu's eyes became even bigger, and he was even more curious.
153
154Elder Messenger of Death came forward and said indifferently, "Go in, don't let Earth Count wait too long."
155
156Tian Shu immediately slumped down again like he was a mountain goat monster that was about to die. He laid down on the floor and wasn't willing to move. Qin Mu grabbed onto his mountain goat horn and dragged him all the way into the main hall.
157
158Earth Count was right in front of them, though it was likely his clone. He was covered in flames and had a tiger's head, bull's horns, and a human's body, and he was flipping through a thick stack of books.
159
160"Official Sovereign, have you added the incident where he stole my powers?" Earth Count asked without even raising his head.

166
167
168Elder Messenger of Death took a glance at Qin Mu and said, "Earth Count, I've already added, it's on the one thousandth and eighth page of the eighth book. Every debt is recorded clearly and won't be left out."
169
170Earth Count put the book in his hands down and picked up the eighth book. He flipped through it and said, "Have you recorded down every time he opened Gate of Heaven Influence?"
171
172"I have."
173
174Elder Messenger of Death said, "He keeps scaring me out of my wits, so I have to record them down. Also, every person that dies from his hands is also recorded down clearly without a mistake. We can only clear the list with him once he dies. However, all of these are small matters, and I've recorded them down in the miscellaneous books."
175
176Earth Count put down the eighth book and asked, "Where are the miscellaneous books?"
177
178Elder Messenger of Death replied, "There are too many miscellaneous books, so I've created another room to store them. It's almost full now. Should I bring the miscellaneous scrolls for Earth Count to take a look?"
179
180"There's no need."
181
182Earth Count also felt a slight headache and shook his head. "As long as it's recorded clearly, it's fine."
183
184Thump.
185
186Tian Shu just collapsed straight to the ground, and his goat head hit heavily on the ground, stopping only after bouncing twice. Qi Jiuyi couldn't resist saying, "Big Brother Tian, Earth Count shouldn't be saying you; he's talking about Brother Qin Fengqing."
187
188Tian Shu said weakly, "I know he is talking about him, but I thought he had a good relationship with Earth Count and now it looks like he's has a good relationship with Earth Count based on the bad things he has done. I was still anticipating for Earth Count to give him face and now I think the result of Earth Count giving him face would be an additional charge to my crime! Just let me lie here for a while, all of a sudden I feel so weak..."
189
190Earth Count looked at Qin Mu who was standing there uneasily with his head down. He would try to sneak a glance from time to time and pulled back his gaze as though he was shocked.
191
192Earth Count said, "Shielding Criminal Tian Shu and releasing him to cause misfortune on the world, this misdeed will be recorded on your head, do you accept it?"
193
194Qin Mu hurriedly said, "I don't..."
195
196"Put it on his head," Earth Count said to Elder Messenger of Death.
197
198Elder Messenger of Death said yes gladly and recorded it down with his brush. He said to Qin Mu, "Earth Count is impartial and he's not asking for your opinion, he's just informing you so you would have no grievance after you die in the future."
199
200Qin Mu was instantly at ease. He said with a smile, "In the future? In that case, Earth Count won't kill me this time."
201
202Earth Count shot a glance at him and said, "Your lifespan in the world of the living still hasn't ended so we won't touch you for now. However, the longer you remain in Youdu, the weaker your corporeal body will get, you will still die. You aren't the main focus of the summon today, he is."
203
204He raised his hand to point at Tian Shu, and a whip lashed out and coiled Tian Shu. Tian Shu couldn't break free, and his face was ashen.
205
206Qin Mu took a step forward and stood between them. He asked loudly, "May I ask Earth Count, what crime has Tian Shu committed?"
207
208"Severing my horn, stealing my Youdu, separating my territory to form Fengdu—this is a huge crime."
209
210Earth Count asked seriously, "Are you standing out for him? Are you going to take his punishment for him?"
211
212Qin Mu said solemnly, "Founding Emperor designed the Imperial Gate Divine Knife, and the order was given to him by Founding Emperor. Tian Shu is merely following orders, is it wrong for a subject to follow the order of his ruler?"
213
214Earth Count said, "The person who bears the knife is already committing a mistake from the start."
215
216"So Earth Count is bullying the weak and afraid of the strong?" Qin Mu asked.
217
218Tian Shu's blood ran cold, and Qi Jiuyi was also uneasy. 'Why does Brother Qin dares to say anything and everything? Even though he is the Son of Youdu, even that identity can't protect him!'
219
220Earth Count frowned slightly, and flames swirled between his horns.
221
222Qin Mu continued, saying, "If Earth Count is impartial, you should hold Founding Emperor responsible and find him. Earth Count not going after the mastermind and just taking in Tian Shu for punishment makes me suspect you are only bullying the weak and are afraid of the strong. I'm a junior, and junior also has a heart of righteousness. If Earth Count is impartial, junior cannot accept your decision and has to step out to express my opinion. If Earth Count isn't afraid of the strong, in that case, the deaths of countless lifeforms in Supreme Emperor Heaven and Luofu Heaven, why didn't Earth Count seek out the originator?"
223
224Elder Messenger of Death frowned and said, "Son of Youdu, you don't know the reason behind, let's not talk about this..."
225
226"Let him speak." Earth Count raised his hand.
227
228Elder Messenger of Death could only hold himself back and be secretly anxious for Qin Mu.
229
230Qin Mu continued to speak, and said, "And who is the originator? That esteemed guest that just walked out from Earth Count's palace! Son of Heaven Yin let his disciples do as they pleased and forced the remaining survivors of Crimson Light into Luofu Heaven, the territory of the devil, to invoke a bloodbath. Luofu Heaven was destroyed, and only Chi Xi was left from the remaining survivors of Crimson Light. To survive, the devils had no choice but to invade Supreme Emperor Heaven. The disciples of Son of Heaven Yin then used the Life and Death Book to sacrifice Luofu Heaven, crashing it into Supreme Emperor Heaven, which in turn caused Supreme Emperor Heaven to crash into the Great Ruins. This resulted in countless deaths. The originator of the true evil was right here so why didn't Earth Count kill him?"
231
232"My brother created havoc in Youdu, and Earth Count put it on my head, wanting to beat and kill me. I summoned the soul of Seven Kills Star Sovereign Wei Liao, and Earth Count put it on my head, wanting to beat and kill me. When I fought in the battlefield and killed enemies, Earth Count put it on my head, wanting to beat and kill me. And now, when the disciples of Son of Heaven Yin wants to bathe the entire Eternal Peace in blood and revive the stone statues by dropping calamities on Eternal Peace, countless lives would be lost again! Earth Count, how are you impartial? Have you wanted to beat and kill them?"
233
234"You are clearly bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, you are bullying the kind and scared of the evil, so what is the crime of Tian Shu severing your horn? If it was Founding Emperor sitting at the top of the celestial heavens now, would you even dare to let out a fart?"
235
236"You say I'm full of evil and put all of the troubles my brother has done on my head. It's true that my brother commits all kinds of imaginable misdeeds, but he acts on his knowledge, yet you as the ruler of Youdu don't act on what you preach—you are truly a disgrace to the reputation of a natural born sacred god!"
237
238"You might as well let out your position and let my brother be the ruler of Youdu, at least he treats everyone equally at the minimum, unlike you who doesn't!"
239
240Tian Shu, the dragon qilin, and Qi Jiuyi almost shat in their pants from hearing what Qin Mu said. Even Elder Messenger of Death took a few gulps and thought to himself, 'It's over, it's over...'
241
242Earth Count's three eyes stared at Qin Mu, and Qin Mu stared back without relenting.
243
244"You are originally very smart and know how to guide the situation to your advantage, you know how to conform to the situation and yet why are you not backing down today? Why must you argue strongly for what's right?" Earth Count finally spoke, and he asked.
245
246Qin Mu bowed and said, "Everyone has accumulated rancor, and once the rancor goes on for a long period, one would still burst apart. I'm also a part of everyone; I seek your forgiveness if I have offended you in any way."
247
248Earth Count nodded slowly and said, "How do you know I don't have a small booklet to record Son of Heaven Yin's sins?"
249
250Qin Mu said, "If you have it but don't carry out the punishment, what's the difference with not having it in the first place? I know Earth Count is in a troubled position and it's none other than the power of the celestial heavens being too strong so you can't act as you wish. Since Earth Count isn't willing to make a move yourself, why stop other people?"
251
252Earth Count's expression was incomparably calm, and no change in expression could be seen at all. "What you mean is?"
253
254"Evil must be fought with evil, I'm this evil, and Tian Shu is also this evil. In the current world, there aren't many people that dare to fight Son of Heaven Yin to the death, but Tian Shu is one of them."
255
256Qin Mu said, "Wouldn't it be better if Earth Count let Tian Shu go and let him fight to the death with Son of Heaven Yin? Tian Shu indeed severed your horn, but there was also a reason for it. He was under Founding Emperor's order, and since Founding Emperor isn't here, I'll bear his crime. Earth Count can just put this crime on my head! I only wish for Earth Count to let him off and let him fight with Son of Heaven Yin. Earth Count can just wait and reap the benefits."
257
258Earth Count's three eyes kept staring at him, and he never shifted his gaze.
259
260Tian Shu and the rest were uneasy. Qin Mu didn't know how powerful Earth Count was, but Tian Shu knew it very well.
261
262During Founding Emperor Period, he had been conferred the title of Mingdu Heavenly King because of his remarkable abilities that were honed to perfection. But comparing him to Earth Count, it was like comparing a grain of rice to a blazing sun.
263
264He had a natural fear of Earth Count.
265
266Yet Qin Mu could be so at ease in front of Earth Count and even have a heated discussion. He could even scold Earth Count and discuss the terms with Earth Count after scolding him. In his eyes, that was the path leading to death!
267
268Right at that moment, Earth Count's voice rang out. "Fine, I'll give you this face and let him go."
269
270The whip around Tian Shu's body loosened up, and he crashed onto the ground.
271
272Tian Shu's mind was blank, and he shook his head as though he hadn't heard Earth Count clearly.
273
274Earth Count actually agreed to Qin Mu's terms and even said he would give him face.
275
276That was something that could never have happened!
277
278Qin Mu bowed and expressed his gratitude. "Many thanks, Earth Count, for granting my request."
279
280"No matter if they are a commoner or the celestial emperor, as long as evil is committed, I will be impartial and will record them down."
281
282Earth Count said calmly, "Everyone has their respective booklet, and the only difference is the thickness. I don't blame you for stealing my power to revive the Goddess of Heavenly Yin; instead, I admire you very much. All beings grieve for their fellow beings, I also couldn't accept Goddess of Heavenly Yin's death, but I'm still the ruler of Youdu after all. There are some things that I can't do, and I can only let others do it. There are some things that I can't say, and I can only let others say. You have done it, and you have said it, however, to be fair, no matter how much I admire you, I will still need to record down and handle the problems according to the rules of Youdu. Do you understand?"
283
284Qin Mu bowed. "I understand."
285
286Earth Count nodded his head and said, "You guys can leave now."
287
288Qin Mu hesitated for a moment. "Earth Count, can I meet my mother, I've never met her before..."
289
290"She's being punished for you."
291
292Earth Count's face was expressionless as he said, "A few months after you were born, you committed a huge misdeed in Youdu and to protect your life, she sent you away. But to protect you and not let the big shots of Youdu chase after you, she took on all of your mistakes. If you want to meet her, I can arrange for it, but the disciples of Mingdu have already made their moves. The souls of the lives in Eternal Peace are currently being guided into Youdu. Are you sure you want to meet her?"
293
294Qin Mu stood there blankly as though he was struck by lightning. He suddenly turned and said, "Tian Shu, Brother Qi, let us return to Eternal Peace now!"
295
296Earth Count saw him off and saw that youth secretly wiping his tears away.
297
298"He will be a good child," Earth Count said softly.
299
300Elder Messenger of Death bowed and said, "Of course he will be a good child. Let me send them away."
301
302On the paper boat, Qin Mu turned back and looked at Earth Count who looked cold and dark. There were countless dead people living there, and it was incomparably lively. His kin was also over there, and maybe there was even his father who was still driving the ship to find the traces of his mother in the darkness.
303
304Yet he had the chance to meet them but couldn't.
305
306'I will come back when the chaos in Eternal Peace is quelled. I will come back to meet both of you.'
307
308Qin Mu revealed a warm smile and thought to himself, 'I don't remember what I did after I was born. It must have been older brother who did it, but what he has done is what I have done. However, I can't bear to let mother suffer because of me. Mother, I will be back to fetch both of you. I won't let you suffer in Youdu on my behalf..."

314
315
316On the paper boat, Tian Shu kept examining Qin Mu. He noticed the youth looked cheerful, but his worries and longing for his kin were hidden in his brows.
317
318"He really has a good relationship with Earth Count?"
319
320Tian Shu secretly asked Elder Messenger of Death, whispering, "Official Sovereign, we are also old friends. Why would Earth Count give him face and let me out? I don't believe Earth Count would let me off just because of his words."
321
322Elder Messenger of Death took a glance at Qin Mu and whispered, "Of course Earth Count won't let you off just because of his words. If that were the case, everyone would be coming to chop Earth Count's horns. Even the horns of nine bends would be shaved to nothing. After you chopped a chunk to make Fengdu, another few worlds were destroyed and only then did Earth Count finally manage to mend his horns. The price he paid wasn't small. The reason why Earth Count gave him face was because he didn't want him to return to Youdu."
323
324Tian Shu stared with his eyes wide open. "He doesn't want him to return to Youdu? What's the reason?"
325
326"He was born in Youdu and was the first being born in Youdu after the creation of Youdu; thus, he is referred to as Son of Youdu."
327
328Elder Messenger of Death sighed and said, "You didn't see the apparition that appeared when he was born. The entire Youdu was shaken, and countless big shots infiltrated into Youdu to look at the glorious occasion. Three to four months later, he pierced his way through the horns of nine bends..."
329
330Tian Shu had a weird expression and stuttered, "P-pierced his way through?"
331
332Elder Messenger of Death nodded his head and recalled the sight that had happened over twenty years ago. He couldn't help shivering. "The horns of Earth Count were pierced through, and it affected the benefits of numerous big shots in Youdu. Therefore everyone came together to take him down, and a huge bunch of big shots got eaten up. Look, there are still many places on Earth Count that are in chaos, and the ghosts are still at war with one another. Just by that, you know how powerful the wake of his destruction was."
333
334Tian Shu was also one of Youdu's big shots once, and he had very great power, so he understood what he meant.
335
336The big shots of Youdu possessed great power in Youdu, and they could all have a piece of territory on Earth Count's body. The territory they were in charge of was very vast, and they ruled over billions of ghosts.
337
338Once Qin Mu ate the big shots, there would be no one left to rule over the ghosts. In that way, other big shots would take the chance to enter and fight over the territory.
339
340It could be seen that Qin Mu had eaten too many big shots of Youdu, which was why the war had lasted until then and not stop.
341
342Tian Shu was silent for a moment and said, "In the depths of Youdu, some existences were strong practitioners of Emperor's Throne before they died, didn't they make a move?"
343
344"They did."
345
346Elder Messenger of Death said, "First they fought one on one, but how could they help when their abilities were inferior to when they were alive? Without their corporeal bodies, they were no match for him. After that, they took him on together, but they couldn't do anything. They could only call Earth Count for help and only then was he sealed and exiled."
347
348Tian Shu shivered a few times and said with a sigh, "Being trapped inside the Imperial Gate Divine Knife made me miss out so many interesting things..."
349
350Elder Messenger of Death sneered. "Even if you were there, you would be helpless—without sealing him, he's just a pure devil king. He will eat anything he gets his hands on, and even you would be eaten up! After you go back, never try to touch the seal in the heart of his brows, you will die miserably if you do! It hasn't been just once that he broke through the seal in recent years, and Earth Count is plagued with headaches."
351
352Tian Shu laughed dryly. "I'm not a curious person, you know me, I'm very timid." After he said that, he took a glance at Qin Mu who was spacing out. His gaze fell on the heart of his brows.
353
354Elder Messenger of Death said, "When you don't drink, you are timid, but after you drink, you dare to chop Earth Count. What else do you not dare to do? You and I are old friends, so I'm warning you now; otherwise, if you release him out, it would be an even greater disaster than chopping off Earth Count's horn! We are here in the world of the living..."
355
356Everyone on the ship stood up and looked ahead. It was completely black.
357
358Suddenly, Elder Messenger of Death pushed Tian Shu off the boat.
359
360Elder Messenger of Death also pushed Qin Mu and Qi Jiuyi off the boat before looking at the dragon qilin. The dragon qilin immediately took the initiative to jump off by himself.
361
362"This big chunk of meat sure has a good eye."
363
364Elder Messenger of Death chuckled and turned his boat around to return.
365
366On the return journey, paper boats were bustling with activity as they sailed out of Eternal Peace and towards Earth Count's corporeal body.
367
368Souls of the people of Eternal Peace filled every boat.
369
370With so many ships, it meant several million people suddenly died in a short time!
371
372Elder Messenger of Death was astonished. "The disciples of Mingdu have made their move..."
373
374The small boats stopped and on the bow were elders that looked exactly the same. The elders looked one another in the eye and said in unison, "Son of Youdu has now returned to the world of the living, and he will definitely make a move. If we send these souls over to Earth Count, he will seize them back by force again. Why don't we wait a few days and see how the situation goes."
375
376"In that case, how many days should we wait?"
377
378"Give him seven days. If he can tide through this disaster and execute Soul Guide to guide these souls back to the world of the living, let him be. If he can't, the bodies of these souls would also have decomposed, and there's no use even if he seized them back."
379
380"If we give him seven days, would we be denounced by others for being scared of Son of Youdu? We need to think of a cover."
381
382"In that case, let us call it Return to the Life in the First Seven Days. Souls can return to the world of the living in the first seven days; in that way, tongues wouldn't waggle."
383
384"Excellent!"
385
386...
387
388Below God Broken Mountain Range, Qin Mu suddenly opened his eyes and looked around. He saw the dragon qilin and Qi Jiuyi waking up after him, and everyone quickly moved far away from the Imperial Gate Divine Knife so that their primordial spirits didn't get sucked in again.
389
390"Boss Tian isn't here." The dragon qilin looked around and didn't see Tian Shu.
391
392"He should be in Ghost Valley."
393
394Qin Mu flew down and came to the palace below the knife. "His corporeal body should be in the underground of Ghost Valley since it seems like half of his body is buried as he got grabbed by Earth Count's hand. This should likely be the palace that Founding Emperor built for him, and he will come to find us. Let us wait here for a moment."
395
396Qi Jiuyi hesitated for a moment and also landed outside the palace. "Brother Qin, it's hard for me to choose a side when both you and the disciples of Mingdu are at war, I'm afraid I can't remain here anymore. I want to return to Southern Heaven now and not participate in the fights between both side."
397
398The dragon qilin hurriedly said, "We have made an oath to Earth Count to seek to die together so how could third brother leave? If I die, Earth Count will be coming to take Brother Tian's life and your life."
399
400Cold sweat covered Qi Jiuyi's head. He regretted drinking so much wine. He couldn't even leave when he wanted to.
401
402"Brother Qi can leave."
403
404Qin Mu said, "Other than festive occasions which would be slightly more dangerous for Fatty Dragon, he's usually out of danger."
405
406"Festive occasions?" The faces of the dragon qilin and Qi Jiuyi turned white.
407
408Qi Jiuyi hesitated for a moment and decided not to leave. What if the dragon qilin ate and became a fatty once again. Wouldn't he have to give up his life too?
409
410Qin Mu entered the palace and examined his surroundings. He only saw a bunch of wine jars accumulated in the hall, and there was also some murals on the wall. What he drew was the sight of Tian Shu raising his knife to sever Earth Count's horns.
411
412Tian Shu in the painting was heroic. He carried a wine jar in one hand and his sword in another, it was truly heroic. On the other head, Earth Count was drawn to look very wretched, and the Earth Count in the painting had a look of anger which was remarkably true to life. He didn't know whose work it was.
413
414"Cult Master, that stone statue seems to be reviving!"
415
416The dragon qilin's voice came from outside, and Qin Mu hurriedly went out from the palace and saw the stone statue whose head was stuck on the Imperial Gate Divine Knife slowly shedding away his stone characteristics. It was gradually revealing the color of flesh!
417
418"Lou Yunqu, Kui Qingpei, and Fu Yanqi of Mingdu are massacring the lifeforms of Eternal Peace and trying to revive the stone statue!"
419
420Qin Mu was astonished. He saw the stone statue looked more fleshy, and its aura was gradually becoming more powerful.
421
422In the past, Qin Mu guessed the other stone statues that descended from the other worlds were only on the level of true god and true devil. Even though the stone statue had yet to recover completely, its aura and imposing manner had already surpassed true god and true devil!
423
424He had underestimated the stone statues!
425
426He didn't know what realm the stone statues were, but if they revived, they were enough to destroy Eternal Peace!
427
428Qin Mu took out God Execution Mysterious Knife and opened up the case. Two trails of blood light flew out to circle the neck of the devil god stone statue. Sparks flew in all direction yet there was only a white trace on the stone statue's neck. The knife didn't manage to sever the head!
429
430When God Execution Mysterious Knife missed, the two trials of blood light returned to slash at Qin Mu.
431
432Qin Mu was alarmed. 'This evil knife wants to eat me in return!'
433
434The two trails of blood light were incomparably sharp, and because it couldn't drink any blood several times, its fierce nature was invoked; it wanted to slay Qin Mu to drink his blood!
435
436Right at that moment, the stone statue suddenly trembled and devil blood came pouring out from the forehead. That was the revival of the stone statue, but because the head was stuck in the Imperial Gate Divine Knife, part of its revived flesh and blood turned back from stone. That caused it to be injured by the Imperial Gate Divine Knife.
437
438Two trails of blood light seemed to be able to sniff the blood scent in the air, and one of them immediately turned to slash the neck of that stone statue. The other trail just kept slashing towards Qin Mu's neck.
439
440Before the blood light could reach Qin Mu, a sea of blood red color was already in front of his eyes. His vision was blocked entirely, and everything turned blood red!
441
442Qin Mu immediately made a decision and took down the willow leaf on the heart of his brows. The sea of red was instantly sucked into the heart of its brows like a whale swallowing a rainbow.
443
444At that moment, another trail of sword light surrounded the neck of the devil god stone statue to spew out blood. In that small case in Qin Mu's hand, the head that was like jade flapped the membranes behind its head excitedly.
445
446Next, the Imperial Gate Divine Knife's expression froze because he realized he couldn't take back the blood light he had slashed at Qin Mu!
447
448That was something that had never happened!
449
450He was a strange treasure forged in the Crimson Light Era and made with the head and primordial spirit of an Emperor's Throne. He only knew how to kill, but as long as they were living, it was hard for them to escape his slaughter. If he couldn't slash through, he would slash the owner; it was equally delicious.
451
452His knife had always slashed through all obstruction, but not only did he not eat Qin Mu's qi and blood, but he also seemed to be eaten by Qin Mu instead!
453
454Qin Mu's third eye swept everything in front of him and swallowed the blood light in one gulp. A burp came from the inside of his third eye, and there was the cheerful cry of a toddler.
455
456Boom—
457
458A loud explosion rang out from the devil god stone statue. Next, a massive head fell off its neck, and that head was like a mountain that fell into the depths of the underground. A dull boom rang out and lingered for a long time.
459
460The blood light absorbed all of the qi and blood of the devil god and flew back rapidly into the small case.
461
462Qin Mu was about to close the small case when the small case closed itself with a clack.
463
464"What's wrong with the God Execution Divine Knife?"
465
466Qin Mu was bewildered and pasted his willow leaf back to block out his brother's excited cries.
467
468The small case gave off slight tremors, and it was like that head of an Emperor's Throne shivering. Qin Mu didn't understand why the little case would tremble and shook his head. He stuffed the case back into his taotie sack and thought to himself, 'Maybe I could use the God Execution Mysterious Knife to deal with the devil stone statue. However, if I don't hit it on the first hit, it would come and attack me. That is troublesome...'
469
470'To even eat me as well...'
471
472In the small case, the head of Emperor's Throne was completely frightened to meet a natural predator for the first time. 'He's even fiercer than me. I can't provoke him!'

478
479
480"If this devil god stone statue revives, the other stone statues will also revive! This stone statue is unlucky to have transported his corporeal body here. However, the other stone statues in Eternal Peace are all perfectly fine!"
481
482Qin Mu was astonished. Aside from that unlucky stone statue, there was another unlucky one, the one under Mount Meru.
483
484That stone statue rose from the ground and ended up hitting Mount Meru. Mount Meru of Great Thunderclap Monastery and the Mount Meru of Buddha Realm were basically the same nature. Knocking into Mount Meru of Great Thunderclap Monastery was equivalent to hitting a Buddha-Realm.
485
486However, the other stone statues didn't encounter situations like those. Instead, they popped out from all corners of the world without incident. Those stone statues were incomparably heavy and couldn't be moved at all; thus, Emperor Yanfeng ordered all of them to be guarded heavily.
487
488After Qin Mu had experienced a stone statue reviving for himself, he clearly understood how terrifying the stone statues were. If they were to revive, it would be a catastrophe to Eternal Peace even without the divine weapons that could descend calamity!
489
490"If Tian Shu still doesn't come, I can only go ahead by myself..."
491
492Just as he thought until there, a divine light shone down from the sky, and from the light, a majestic god stretched his hand out to grab the Imperial Gate Divine Knife that was underground!
493
494'Mingdu Heavenly King is here!'
495
496Qin Mu was delighted and raised his head to take a look. He saw Tian Shu holding the Imperial Gate Divine Knife and chanting phrases to turn it smaller and smaller. Not long later, it transformed into a huge knife that was over a hundred yards long.
497
498Tian Shu kept the divine knife and tried his best not to touch the blade. "Stay here, let me go and meet the disciples of Mingdu!" After saying that, he rose into the air, and light filled the sky. Both he and the knife vanished.
499
500Qin Mu was about to stop him, but he had already gone far away.
501
502Qin Mu frowned slightly and rose into the air to get out of the underground space. Looking into the distance, he could only see a beam of sunlight flying towards the east.
503
504Suddenly, his taotie sack vibrated, and peals of thunder came out. Qin Mu was astonished and quickly poured the things in his taotie sack out to see the surroundings of Five Thunder Pot crackling with electricity. The meteorological weapon looked to be on the verge of losing control!
505
506"The five great thunderclouds are about to be activated."
507
508Qi Jiuyi sighed and said with a solemn face, "Brother Qin, Eternal Peace is no longer a place we can have a footing in. Once the five thunderclouds rise into the air, Eternal Peace will transform into a sea of lightning and the fire bell divine weapons will scuttle around in the sea of lightning. Furthermore, other than Five Thunder Pot, there are also meteorological divine weapons like Earthquake Cauldron and Hurricane Bottle Gourd. If all of their power burst forth together, Eternal Peace would be even more terrifying than hell! I'm ready to hide in High Heavens, second brother, are you following me? I can bring you to leave this world and enter the High Heavens. The calamities won't reach there."
509
510The dragon qilin hesitated for a moment and looked at Qin Mu. He shook his head and said, "Wherever Cult Master goes, I go. I've followed Cult Master for so many years and ate a lot. I can't just leave when I'm needed."
511
512Qi Jiuyi had a complicated expression and sighed. Flames surrounded him as he transformed into a nine-headed phoenix to soar towards the west. His voice rang out, "In that case, you're on your own! Second brother, don't die, no matter what! This is the token that represents the bloodline of Southern Heaven Red Deity; it might just be able to save your life!"
513
514A token flew into Qin Mu's hand.
515
516Qin Mu was slightly stunned and handed over the jade token carved with a nine-headed phoenix to the dragon qilin.
517
518Qi Jiuyi's token wasn't for him; it was for the dragon qilin.
519
520"Fatty Dragon, Qi Jiuyi is still pretty nice to you."
521
522Qin Mu said with a smile, "Let's start on our journey, back to Eternal Peace!"
523
524The dragon qilin stepped on fire clouds and brought Qin Mu to rise into the air. Qin Mu saw the sword pellet on his body and hesitated for a moment. However, he still didn't let the dragon qilin throw the sword pellet off.
525
526He didn't know the situation in Eternal Peace, and he didn't have any weapon that was suitable for him. Besides, if he threw away the unfinished sword pellet, it wouldn't increase his speed much.
527
528'What can really increase my speed is my primordial spirit!'
529
530On the back of the dragon qilin, Qin Mu projected his primordial spirit and executed Secrets of Three Primordial Spirit Assembly. Soon, he had gathered all of the talents in Eternal Peace for a meeting. The primordial spirits of Dao Master Lin Xuan, Wang Muran, Xu Shenghua, Ling Yuxiu and the rest were all gathered in Hall of Supreme Learning.
531
532"Has there been a large-scale incident of death in Eternal Peace recently?" Qin Mu asked.
533
534"Yuzhi County in the south-east, in one night, all of the people died."
535
536Ling Yuxiu said, "From the cities to the countrysides, everyone died at the same time, and that included the young magistrate of Yuzhi County who was a strong practitioner on Divine Bridge Realm that wasn't far from being a god. My father has already dispatch men to scout that place, and from the reports, all of the people in Yuzhi County still look alive. Many people are on the streets with walking poses, and there were also old farmers farming in the fields. However, they have all died, and there were no breaths at all. Father has already suppressed news from spreading to prevent panic in the hearts of the people."
537
538Qin Mu frowned and asked, "What about the livestock?"
539
540"Livestock, pets, and beasts—none were spared," Ling Yuxiu replied.
541
542Dao Master Lin Xuan, Wang Muran and the rest still didn't know such a huge incident had occurred, and in an instant, the Hall of Supreme Learning was in an uproar.
543
544Ling Yuxiu continued, "Imperial Preceptor, First Ancestor, Sacred Teacher and the rest assembled the experts of Crimson Light and the devil race to find the location of the enemies. These enemies must definitely be Lou Yunqu and the rest."
545
546Qin Mu looked at Si Yunxiang and said solemnly, "Saintess Xiang, immediately pass down the order to contact all disciples of the sacred cult, make all of the disciples supervise the activities of every single stone statue. Report any abnormalities to me immediately!"
547
548Si Yunxiang nodded her head and said, "There are tip-offs from various regions that those stone statues are starting to revive, some stone statues are revealing the color of flesh. I even heard the news that Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor suppressed the meteorological divine weapons in the treasury. Not long ago, the weapons started to give off power and crumbled the treasury. Just today, the capital city quaked fifteen times and the dragon veins are splitting apart."
549
550Everyone's hearts leaped, and they instantly became silent.
551
552"The other thing you have to take note is for any large-scale incidents of death, if there is, inform me at once!"
553
554Qin Mu quickly said, "Sister Xiu, inform the emperor and get him to give the order to summon all scholars that are skilled in Soul Guide to take fast ships to Yuzhi County. Dao Master, Brother Wang, if there are people who are skilled in Soul Guide in Dao Sect or Little Jade Capital, get them to hurry there as well! We might still be able to save them!"
555
556Everyone nodded in acknowledgment.
557
558The primordial spirit assembly was dismissed, and Qin Mu's primordial spirit returned into his body. He immediately ordered the dragon qilin to head towards Yuzhi County, but after some time, he stopped him.
559
560The dragon qilin didn't understand but still slowed down to run forward at a steady pace.
561
562Qin Mu's expression flickered with uncertainty. Yuzhi County was close to the coastal area in the south-east of Eternal Peace Empire. The journey was long, and it would take a day to reach there. The coastal area was secluded, and if he had just rushed there without thinking it through, he might fall into the trap of luring the tiger away from its domain in the mountains.
563
564If all of the divine arts practitioners that were skilled in Soul Guide were gather in Yuzhi County, no one would be able to react if another large-scale incident of death suddenly erupted in other prefectures and counties.
565
566'Just the people of a county are probably not enough for the stone statues to revive, more people have to die to wake the stone statues up.'
567
568Qin Mu's gaze flickered, and he took out the map of Eternal Peace from taotie sack. Eternal Peace was no longer what it was before, and their territories had increased drastically. The population was also several times what it was before, but the human traffic was still mainly concentrated at places where trade was flourishing.
569
570'The water transportation of the Surging River is the most developed, and along the river, there are many cities with populations of a million, especially in this stretch of River Tomb. However, River Tomb is close to the capital city so Imperial Preceptor, First Ancestor, and the rest would respond quickly.'
571
572Qin Mu checked the map, and the most suitable location was still none other than Yuyuan Chuyu's Lizhou Prefecture.
573
574It was far enough from the capital city and far enough from Yuzhi County. It was also in the center of Eternal Peace.
575
576'If I was Lou Yunqu, I would choose that place and sacrifice everyone in Lizhou Prefecture to awaken the stone statues.'
577
578Qin Mu's expression was uncertain. Lizhou Prefecture was in the south of Heavenly Saint Academy, and there was also the Surging River Academy there. High Minister Su Yunzhi was a grand chancellor there while Yuyuan Chuyu and Yuyuan Chuyun were the chancellors.
579
580'If they use the Life and Death Book to sacrifice everyone in Lizhou Prefecture, not only could they get the entire Surging River Academy in one fell swoop, even my Heavenly Saint Academy would be wiped out. It's no trouble for Lou Yunqu and the rest to wipe out Heavenly Saint Academy along the way as well.'
581
582'Lizhou, Bazhou, there are more than enough people to allow many stone statues to revive. Once the stone statues are revived, it's simple to wipe out a few prefectures. After that, they can completely destroy Eternal Peace by activating the meteorological divine weapons to descend calamities.'
583
584When Qin Mu thought until there, he immediately ordered the dragon qilin to head towards Surging River Academy in Lizhou.
585
586The speed of the dragon qilin was very fast. He sprinted quickly on the Surging River and churned up waves. Two huge dragons swam under the water and followed the dragon qilin closely.
587
588When they reached Dyke River County, Qin Mu ordered the dragon qilin to descend. On the Hundred Years Mountain that was opposite of Dyke River County, a snow white god with a horn on his horse head looked over from afar.
589
590Qin Mu waved his hand, and God Bai Xi concealed himself.
591
592Beside the river was Surging River Academy, and the reason why Su Yunzhi had chosen to build the academy there was because of the talents on both shore and river. Over at the Surging River, there was Surging River Dragon King Dragon Rearing Sovereign, Divine Flood Dragon King and God Bai Xi living there. Usually, when they required the three gods to provide lessons, they just had to give offerings, and among them, God Bai Xi was the cheapest—they didn't need to spend much.
593
594Qin Mu hurried over to the academy and saw numerous new and huge spirit weapons. The huge spirit weapons were parked on both sides of the roads, and some scholars were teaching the divine arts practitioners how to control the weapons.
595
596It was obvious that the scholars of Surging River Academy didn't know that calamity was imminent and the place was still very peaceful.
597
598Qin Mu made the dragon qilin stop to take a look. He saw that some spirit weapons were wind carriages that had seven blades and a small delicate pill furnace. By putting medicinal stones inside the pill furnace, the blades would be able to spin.
599
600When the blades spun, blades of winds would slice along the ground and very quickly, it overturned a field.
601
602After overturning the ground, one could then push the wind carriage forward to overturn other lands.
603
604'A tool for plowing the land!'
605
606Qin Mu was astonished. During Eternal Peace's reform, divine arts practitioners that cultivated wind divine arts were mostly hired to use spells to plow the land—they used wind blades.
607
608But someone had created that kind of wind carriage spirit weapon which utilized the energy from medicinal stones to execute divine arts. It was truly an elaborate concept.
609
610He asked the scholar beside the wind carriage, and the scholar replied, "Other than wind carriages, there are also cloud carriages, rain carriages, mining carriages, and furnaces for smelting metal. They are all designed by Heavenly Works Hall and Heavenly Works Bureau. Imperial Preceptor ordered them to be promoted throughout the empire."
611
612'Could Grandpa Mute have designed the spirit weapons for everyday use? However, if they are being popularized throughout the empire, the medicinal stones wouldn't be enough for the usage, would they? Even planting spirit herbs requires time for the herb to mature.'
613
614Qin Mu asked, "Is Grand Chancellor Su Yunzhi in the academy?"
615
616"Grand Chancellor is right in front. She is checking the medicinal fields with Jade Face Poison King from the Imperial Physician Bureau."
617
618Qin Mu's heart stirred slightly. 'Grandpa Apothecary is also here? Isn't he with Empress Dowager and the rest of the beauties? Could he have a thing with High Official Su Yunzhi as well? Bah, bah, why am I badmouthing Grandpa Apothecary behind his back...'

623
624
625
626The farther Qin Mu walked, the more spirit weapons for everyday use he could see. There were also scholars near Surging River Academy that were testing flying carts which could carry passengers into the sky. The pill furnace was slightly smaller and didn't exhaust as many medicinal stones as flying ships, perfect for short distance flights.
627
628He could still see some scholars forging Ice Dragon Fridge and selling the spirit weapons to the big families nearby. Ice Dragon Fridge was square like a big cauldron, but there was also a cover. Four bronze dragon sculptures were occupying the four corners. With medicinal stones, the green dragons would breathe out icy breaths.
629
630During summertime, it would cool the air in the house and also store food by making it harder for food to rot.
631
632There were mines beside the river, and numerous machines were mining while scholars were supervising and recording at the side.
633
634He even saw numerous scholars designing a floating city. They were constructing a small-scale city and planned to let the city float in the sky.
635
636"The formation divine art of Eternal Peace has already become proficient to such an extent?"
637
638He went forward to check on the formation skills, and the scholars were from Heavenly Saint Academy. They recognized him as the grand chancellor and immediately took out the blueprints for him to look through.
639
640Qin Mu couldn't help being astonished. The blueprint design for the floating city used formation structures similar to Little Jade Capital and Saint Arrival Mountain of Heavenly Saint Cult. Those formations borrowed the power from heaven and earth, and the formation structures had already surpassed his attainments in formation skills.
641
642"If I didn't research them out, who could it be?"
643
644Qin Mu was stunned. "Could Grandpa Blind have run over to Saint Arrival Mountain and Little Jade Capital to dig out their formation skills?"
645
646The divine arts of Eternal Peace were seeing new changes, and it truly astonished him. From the time he left Eternal Peace to find Yan Jingjing and met Saint Woodcutter, Elder Angler, and the incident in Heavenly Yin World to finally returning to Eternal Peace, it was probably just four months' time. The paths, skills, and divine arts had actually developed to that extent—it was truly powerful!
647
648However, wasn't it a little too powerful?
649
650"This shouldn't be just Grandpa Mute and Grandpa Blind's work; Saint Woodcutter is probably pushing the reform along too! He has a lot of knowledge about everything, and from Elder Angler's words, the reform of Founding Emperor was pushed by Teacher Woodcutter," Qin Mu muttered to himself.
651
652Woodcutter and the people of Disabled Elderly Village pushing forward the paths, skills, and divine arts could indeed strengthen Eternal Peace in a short time—everyone's quality of accommodation and food would rise drastically. It could also save more time for divine arts practitioners to cultivate and to research even more profound techniques.
653
654However, the most crucial point was still medicinal stones.
655
656The spirit weapons for everyday use required far more medicinal stones, and even though spirit stones could be dug from mining, it was still slightly hard to grow the herbs.
657
658He came to Surging River Academy and was stunned. He saw tens of thousands of fertile fields and herbs were being grown everywhere. Numerous scholars of Surging River Academy and Heavenly Saint Academy were executing creation divine art in the medicinal fields.
659
660The scholars were executing Earth Aeon Creation Technique, but it was also different from the Earth Aeon Creation Technique of the past. There seemed to be some creation divine art from Crimson Light Era mixed in.
661
662Qin Mu got the dragon qilin to stop and looked at the fields. He saw those scholars of the academy using Earth Aeon Creation Technique to assist the herbs to grow and cultivated their medicinal energy. Herbs that required dozens of years to grow could be harvest in just a few hours.
663
664"These medicinal herbs are growing very well and can be harvested in just a short while... Mu'er!"
665
666Qin Mu heard Apothecary's voice and hurriedly took a look. He saw Apothecary surveying the fields, and Deaf was also there. Beside them was High Official Su Yunzhi, a first rank high official who had long opened access through her divine bridge, cultivating into a god.
667
668When Qin Mu had met her in the capital city, she was an old woman, but she had reversed her growth and turned herself into a beautiful woman around the age of thirty. Every action and movement from her was radiating with magnificence.
669
670Deaf had already grown his ears out while Apothecary wore a bronze mask as usual.
671
672Qin Mu looked at numerous scholars of Heavenly Saint Cult. They must have been brought over by them. They intended to give pointers regarding the art of creation to Surging River Academy.
673
674Qin Mu walked forward with a smile. "Grandpa Apothecary, how is your creation divine art? Why are you still wearing a mask?"
675
676Apothecary touched his mask and shook his head. "I'm already old; it's better for me not to show my true face. Otherwise... Haiz."
677
678He gave another sigh.
679
680Deaf sneered and said, "So it's remarkable when you are good-looking? How tacky."
681
682Apothecary said with a smile, "Yes, it is remarkable."
683
684Deaf pretended not to hear anything.
685
686Both of them liked to squabble, and Qin Mu was long used to the sight; thus, he didn't put it to heart. Deaf looked at Qin Mu and asked puzzledly, "Why didn't you go to Heavenly Saint Academy and come here instead?"
687
688Qin Mu's gaze flickered, and he said with a smile, "I was passing by this place, so I had come to take a look at Dragon Rearing Sovereign and visit Grand Chancellor Su."
689
690Su Yunzhi pouted her lips and said, "You rarely come to my Surging River Academy. On the other hand, I frequently went to Heavenly Saint Academy to consult on some questions I have in teaching, but I could never find you."
691
692Qin Mu yawned and stared at a flower silently.
693
694Apothecary and Deaf instantly understood him when they saw him acting like that, and Apothecary said with a smile, "High Official Su, I'm slightly tired, so I'll be going back to take a rest. High Official Su just needs to wait two hours, and you can let the scholars harvest the herbs. Remember to preserve some seeds."
695
696Su Yunzhi nodded.
697
698Apothecary and Deaf turned to walk towards Heavenly Saint Academy. Qin Mu followed after quickly, and Deaf said, "Looking at your expression, there's definitely nothing good this time. Say it, what is it this time?"
699
700"I suspect Lou Yunqu is about to use the Life and Death Book on this place, to wipe out all of the lifeforms in Lizhou Prefecture," said Qin Mu.
701
702"What?"
703
704Apothecary and Deaf gave out cries of astonishment, and Qin Mu hurriedly said, "Softer, don't alarm the enemies."
705
706Apothecary started nagging and hastened his footsteps. "Quickly tidy up our valuables and leave this place immediately, let us hurry back to Ba Zhou... No, back to Disabled Elderly Village! Bazhou isn't safe either!"
707
708Qin Mu grabbed his hand, and Apothecary struggled to no avail. He was currently on the Life and Death Realm, but since his cultivation was slow, his corporeal body was far inferior to Qin Mu's.
709
710"Grandpa Apothecary, you can stay here as long as you like."
711
712Qin Mu said with a smile, "As long as Lou Yunqu doesn't kill personally, I can still handle the situation if only the Life and Death Book is used."
713
714"How are you going to handle it?"
715
716"When you guys are dead, I will revive you guys."
717
718Qin Mu said with a smile, "Don't worry, as long as the corporeal body doesn't rot, it isn't too troublesome to summon your souls back."
719
720Apothecary hesitated for a moment and looked at Deaf. Deaf said, "What's the use of summoning our souls back? Can you defeat Lou Yunqu and the rest?"
721
722"I can't."
723
724Qin Mu shook his head and said, "Before Supreme Emperor Heaven was destroyed, Lou Yunqu and the rest met with First Ancestor Human Emperor. The four of them headed towards Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge, and First Ancestor Human Emperor never made a move on them, this shows that he is very wary of them. On the other hand, they also didn't dare to make a move on First Ancestor right away, and it shows that First Ancestor's abilities are above theirs. The cultivation of the three senior and junior brothers should be between God Execution Stage Realm and Jade Pool Realm."
725
726Apothecary asked, "They are even stronger than Fu Riluo?"
727
728Qin Mu nodded. "Much stronger than Fu Riluo. Fu Riluo is most likely on Jade Pool Realm, but his abilities are inferior. They are the disciples of Mingdu Black Deity after all and what they cultivated is an Emperor's Throne technique."
729
730Apothecary composed himself and said, "We are far from being their opponents, so why don't we leave and go back to the Great Ruins? We can't save everyone, but we can save ourselves."
731
732Qin Mu broke into a smile. "But ever since I was young, Grandpa Apothecary has been teaching me that all healers treat patients like their children, and also human lives are greater than heaven. Didn't we learn medical knowledge to be able to save even more people? Is Grandpa Apothecary planning to go against your original aspiration?"
733
734Apothecary smiled from extreme anger. "Now you are starting to lecture me instead! Let me teach you another sentence: learning medicine can't save Eternal Peace! Are you listening to me or not? Deaf, your abilities are higher than mine, seal him in a painting, we shall return to Heavenly Saint Academy this instant, we shall bring granny and the rest back!"
735
736Deaf covered his ears and said, "I can't hear, I'm a deaf man."
737
738Apothecary was furious and was about to fall out when Deaf hurriedly said, "Since Mu'er is here, he must have some kind of plan, why don't you make a decision after listening to him?"
739
740Apothecary held himself back and said, "If there's no chance of coming out alive, we will have to leave immediately! Even if I have to use poison to knock you out, we will still return to Disabled Elderly Village!"
741
742Qin Mu said with a smile, "Even though we aren't Lou Yunqu's opponent, we still have other helpers. If I'm not wrong, Saint Woodcutter, First Ancestor Human Emperor, Fu Riluo, and Elder Angler should all be in Lizhou at this moment, waiting for Lou Yunqu and the rest to appear."
743
744He said calmly, "If I can guess their target is Lizhou, they would too."
745
746Apothecary sucked in a cold breath and muttered, "If they can guess it, why aren't they moving the people of Lizhou? Why are they letting the people of Lizhou bear the fate of being killed?"
747
748"Because we can't find Lou Yunqu, so we can only sacrifice the people of Lizhou."
749
750Qin Mu said, "Furthermore, I've already spread Soul Guide out, and there are quite a number of people who cultivated the divine art in Eternal Peace. With the divine art, we can bring back those who died because of the Life and Death Book. Thus, the risk is worth taking, and we must take it!"
751
752Deaf asked, "What if their target isn't Lizhou? What if it's the capital city?"
753
754"I'm here; they will come."
755
756Qin Mu said resolutely, "I'm the bait that will attract them. I will make Lou Yunqu and the rest give up on the other targets and only focus on Lizhou! Millions of people already died in Yuzhi County, and it was the Life and Death Book that took their lives last night. I've already ordered everyone that had cultivated Soul Guide to hurry to Yuzhi County and save the people. Tonight should be the moment they will lay their hands on Lizhou!"
757
758Apothecary asked, "In that case, how would they know you are in Lizhou?"
759
760Qin Mu said, "They possess the Life and Death Book, so they will naturally know where I am. Using the Life and Death Book to shine, everyone's name will appear. Tonight, I need a high ground to cast a spell. Right after they cast their spell to harm the people here, I shall revive everyone in Lizhou!"
761
762Deaf said in a hurry, "There's an observatory in Surging River Academy and the terrain there is very high. You can see everything in Lizhou by standing on the observatory."
763
764Qin Mu clapped his hands and said, "Good! I shall cast my spell there!"
765
766On that very night, Qin Mu brought the dragon qilin to the observatory. Apothecary and Deaf stood on the edge and looked nervously up into the sky. The moon was round and bright.
767
768The four corners of the observatory had the sculptures of the four divine beasts which were the green dragon, white tiger, vermillion bird, and black tortoise. They each represented the four celestial palaces of the east, west, south, and north. In the center was a huge armillary sphere carved with the stars.
769
770Qin Mu lit up the lanterns in the surroundings and stood on the armillary sphere to wait quietly.
771
772The moonlight was bright, and it gradually rose to the top of the sky. The night was silent, and at that moment, there was already no sounds from Surging River Academy. Only the torrential waters beside the seashore continued to flow day and night.
773
774The night was slightly chilly.
775
776Qin Mu revealed his three heads and six arms to stare at the surroundings. The moonlight was as calm as still water as it scattered down on the land, lighting up the mountains and terrains. The subtle fragrance of the plants nearby drifted in the air while the mottled mountain range was like ferocious beasts crouching.
777
778Qin Mu waited for a long time, and even when the moon moved past culmination, he never saw the Life and Death Book flying over.
779
780"Could they not be coming? That's not possible... Fatty Dragon, Fatty Dragon!"
781
782Qin Mu gave a shout and the dragon qilin laid on the observatory motionlessly. Qin Mu was bewildered and looked at Apothecary and Deaf. Deaf was sitting in a lotus position while staring at him. Apothecary stood beside the green dragon statue, and his face was hidden in the shade.
783
784Qin Mu jumped down from the armillary sphere and came to both of their bodies to check if they were breathing. His mind was blown.
785
786Apothecary and Deaf only had their bodies left. Their souls had actually vanished without a trace!
787
788He flew quickly to the dragon qilin, and the dragon qilin's soul had actually vanished as well!
789
790Qin Mu's blood ran cold, and he hurriedly ran down the observatory. He ran through Surging River Academy and saw lanterns lighting up the Floor of Heavenly Records. Numerous scholars were browsing through all kinds of divine arts and scriptures in the building, but everyone was frozen in place and not moving!
791
792He sprinted down the corridors and even saw young scholars that hadn't yet slept. The girls were in the arms of boys, and they should be whispering sweet nothings to each other. However, their bodies were already empty, and their souls had already vanished!
793
794Qin Mu passed by Su Yunzhi's hall, and she was currently meditating. However, her primordial spirit had also vanished!
795
796"Impossible! Impossible! They couldn't have activated the Life and Death Book without alarming me! Dragon Rearing Sovereign!"
797
798Qin Mu shouted loudly, "Where is Dragon Rearing Sovereign?"
799
800The river water flowed, but there was no reply. In Surging River, two huge dragons were floating on the water surface with their belly facing up. Their dragon horns were caught by the dam, and their bodies trembled like waves from the impact of the current.
801
802On Hundred Years Mountain, God Bai Xi seemed to become a stone statue and stood on a gravestone without moving.
803
804The entire Lizhou and all of the counties were deathly silent.
805
806"How did they execute their spell? There couldn't be no trace at all!"
807
808Qin Mu's body turned cold, and he paced to and fro. Beads of cold sweat rolled down his forehead, and he suddenly raised his head to look at the bright moon in the sky.
809
810The bright moon was perfectly round.
811
812"Today is the first day of the lunar month, that's right, today is the first day, so why is there a moon?"
813
814Qin Mu's body trembled and shouted, "They are hidden on the moon! Teacher Woodcutter, First Ancestor Human Emperor, do you guys hear me?"
815
816Thump.
817
818A person dropped down from a cloud in midair and crashed not far away from Qin Mu. Qin Mu looked at that person and saw that he was carrying an ax while his face was planted in the dirt.
819
820The corners of Qin Mu's eyes trembled, and he saw a second person falling from the sky. First Ancestor Human Emperor smashed a huge hole in the palace of Surging River Academy. Next, Fu Riluo, Chi Xi, Heavenly Teacher Fisherman, and the rest came falling from the clouds.
821
822Qin Mu roared, and the Gate of Heaven Influence instantly opened up behind him!
823
824At that moment, three figures walked down from the bright moon.

829
830
831
832Qin Mu's heart sank, and he mustered all his power to execute Soul Guide. He tried his best to summon the primordial spirits of Woodcutter, First Ancestor, and the rest back from Youdu before the three figures landed down.
833
834The people walking down from the bright moon were none other than Lou Yunqu and his junior brothers. It was evident that they didn't enter Lizhou how Qin Mu guessed.
835
836Qin Mu always thought they would be casting their spell in the sky above Lizhou. Never would he expect them to act contrary to his expectation and entered the moon, which was over a hundred thousand miles away from Eternal Peace!
837
838The sky was a hundred thousand miles high, and only one thousand yards thick. The formation skills of the sun, moon, and stars were all gathered there, and numerous gods of the celestial heavens were guarding that place. They maintained the operation of the astronomical phenomenon in the sky to lie to the people of the world.
839
840Lou Yunqu and the rest must have stuck the Life and Death Book onto the formation of the moon and borrowed the power of the moon to light up Lizhou!
841
842That night was the first day of the lunar month, and there was no moon on the first day. One could imagine that everywhere else had stars but no moon in the sky, and only in Lizhou could a moon be seen.
843
844The people of Lizhou, the divine arts practitioners, and even gods like Su Yunzhi had fallen into the trap.
845
846Not only Su Yunzhi, but even Saint Woodcutter didn't expect Lou Yunqu would strike from the moon. When the moonlight shone on them, everything was too late.
847
848Their cultivations were incomparably strong, but they had lost the pre-emptive strike. Facing a treasure like the Life and Death Book forged by Mingdu Black Deity, losing the upper hand meant losing their lives.
849
850One mistake had caused everyone in Lizhou to die. Only Qin Mu was left alive!
851
852Because of his identity as Son of Youdu, he was the only one who wouldn't be controlled by the Life and Death Book.
853
854'The only way I can turn this situation around is to seize their primordial spirits back! Otherwise, I alone am not enough to fight against Lou Yunqu and the rest!'
855
856Qin Mu executed his divine art, and the Gate of Heaven Influence appeared behind him. Heavy modulation of Youdu language came from his mouth, and the Gate of Heaven Influence opened up. Instantly, spirits began to fly out in all directions.
857
858"Why are the souls of Woodcutter and the rest not here?" Qin Mu's heart gradually sank.
859
860When he executed Soul Guide, and as long as the corpse was there, he would be able to sense the soul and guide the soul back.
861
862Yet no matter how he searched Youdu with the divine art, he still couldn't sense the souls of Saint Woodcutter, First Ancestor Human Emperor, and the rest.
863
864The bright moon still hung up high in the sky, and the speed of the three people walking down from the moon was extremely fast. The three dots gradually grew larger until the naked eye could see them.
865
866Qin Mu focused on casting the spell and beads of cold sweat rolled down. He suddenly gritted his teeth and took down the golden willow leaf from the heart of his brows. "Heaven Duke, Crimson Emperor, this concerns my life and death, I need to borrow my brother's power to fight against the gods and devils of Mingdu!"
867
868On the Qin word land in the heart of his brows, the big baby was sucking on his own toe and looked around curiously when he heard what Qin Mu said. 'Could bad brother want to eat me? But he has also given me a lot of delicious food; the small case not long ago was quite refreshing...'
869
870He bore grudges well and still remembered how Qin Mu had seized his power back then and almost ate him.
871
872However, Qin Mu had just fed him one of the blood lights from the God Execution Mysterious Knife. That was a knife light formed from blood fiends, and he was very full from eating it. That had reduced his hatred for Qin Mu slightly, but only a little.
873
874He was still not willing to help Qin Mu.
875
876Crimson Emperor and Heaven Duke looked at each other in the eye and discussed. "What should we do now? If we let him receive the power of the Son of Youdu, he would become wicked, and if we don't lend it to him, once the younger brother dies, the older brother will be in control. If he starts eating, the disciples of Mingdu won't even need to make a move; just him alone is enough to eat Eternal Peace up and transform it into another Youdu."
877
878"Eating into Youdu is still good, I'm just afraid he would eat until the land becomes empty, leaving not even a single ghost. The only plan today is to lend the younger brother power, but we shouldn't give all of the power to him."
879
880Heaven Duke said, "If we give him everything, only Emperor's Throne can subdue him. However, if we gave him a little, he won't get controlled by the devil nature as easily. In that case, we still have a chance to revert everything."
881
882Crimson Emperor said with hesitation, "Aren't you afraid of playing with fire?"
883
884Heaven Duke chuckled and was full of confidence. "Don't worry, I never play with fire. Come assist me, let us open the seal slightly but we can't open it entirely to prevent the older brother from running out. Even though the older brother isn't as sly as the younger brother, he's also quite smart. We still can't let the younger brother get too much power from Youdu; thus, we have to work together closely—we can't make any mistake. The only problem now is how to convince the older brother to lend out a portion of his power."
885
886Both of them looked at the huge baby, and Crimson Emperor whispered, "It's going to be slightly difficult."
887
888The huge baby stood up clumsily and sneered. "White beard old man, three heads, both of you are thinking of touching me, are you seeking death?"
889
890Qin Mu was currently casting a spell on the observatory when a beam of light fell to shatter the Gate of Heaven Influence behind his back. Lou Yunqu, Kui Qingpei, and Fu Yanqi descended from the sky and stopped in the sky above the observatory.
891
892'It's too late!'
893
894Qin Mu executed Three Primordial Spirit Undying God Consciousness, yet he couldn't feel the power coming from the heart of his brows. He was secretly worried.
895
896"Qin Fengqing, even if I let you summon their souls, you can't turn the situation around."
897
898Lou Yunqu walked down from the sky and said with a slight smile, "That's because they aren't in Youdu, they got sent by me into Mingdu. You can use Soul Guide, and you can summon the souls of the people back from Youdu; however, it's no use if you can't summon their souls back."
899
900Qin Mu narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "No wonder I can't sense their primordial spirits, so they are in Mingdu. Mingdu's spells should originate from Youdu, and according to logic, my spells should be able to seize people from Mingdu. I've seized souls from Youdu and Fengdu before, but it's still the first time for Mingdu."
901
902Kui Qingpei landed down from the sky and walked to the right of Qin Mu. He said leisurely, "Seizing someone from Mingdu is even harder than seizing someone from Youdu. Mingdu is naturally from Youdu, but the divine arts that were once from Youdu are way superior after undergoing the development of Black Deity."
903
904Qin Mu said with a smile, "Why don't the three of you test it out? I might be able to snatch people from Mingdu, I might be able to find a flaw in Mingdu for Black Deity, and you guys can fix it."
905
906Fu Yanqi walked out behind him and said, "Son of Youdu, there's no need to drag out time. Master is personally handling the matters of Eternal Peace this time as Mingdu Black Deity. When he is getting involved personally, it shows how important he views Eternal Peace to be. It also marks the end of Eternal Peace."
907
908Qin Mu's heart gradually sank. Son of Heaven Yin getting involved personally?
909
910No wonder Saint Woodcutter and First Ancestor Human Emperor would fall into the trap!
911
912Son of Heaven Yin's cultivation was immeasurable, and if he was personally getting involved with dropping the calamities on Eternal Peace, Eternal Peace truly had no way to survive!
913
914"My master wants to meet you. Master has no interest in Eternal Peace; he's only interested in you. He once got Junior Brother Qi Jiuyi to deal with you, but he was incapable, so he ordered us to come forward."
915
916Lou Yunqu said, "The mirror that Junior Brother Qi Jiuyi used to seal you, you should still be keeping it, right?"
917
918Qin Mu continued to execute Undying God Consciousness secretly and attempted to steal his brother's power, but he never succeeded. Right at that moment, he suddenly found a power flooding over from the heart of his brows. He was delighted but remained calm.
919
920"The mirror that the three of you mentioned, could it be the one I seized from Qi Jiuyi?"
921
922Qin Mu rummaged through his taotie sack and said, "Wait a moment, let me find it."
923
924Lou Yunqu said with a smile, "This mirror is used to seal you and master created it specifically for you. You just need to take it out and shine it on yourself to fix yourself in place. That will save us a lot of time."
925
926Qin Mu took out a mirror from his taotie sack. He shook his head and said, "Not this one." After saying so, he rummaged through his sack again.
927
928"Not this one either." He took out another mirror to shine on himself. He shook his head and threw it to one side.
929
930Lou Yunqu and the rest waited patiently, and in a short while, Qin Mu took out over a dozen mirrors from the taotie sack. He shone every mirror on him, yet none of them fixed him in place.
931
932Gradually, the patience of Lou Yunqu and the rest vanished as Qin Mu threw out more and more mirrors. However, the mirror that Mingdu Black Deity made never appeared.
933
934"As a man, why are you carrying that many mirrors?" Fu Yanqi shouted at him with a bad temper.
935
936"I can't help it when I'm handsome, and I need to bring a few more mirrors." Qin Mu raised his head and blushed with shame.
937
938Fu Yanqi snorted angrily, "The human body is merely a mortal flesh, once you die in this lifetime, you can live another lifetime, why is there a need to even treat it with such care? Look at my hand, I got all my fingers except one severed, and I'm not as pretentious as you!"
939
940He raised his right hand, and there was only a thumb left on his right hand.
941
942Qin Mu didn't reply and took out a mirror to shine at himself. Suddenly, his body froze, and he couldn't move.
943
944Lou Yunqu and the rest gave sighs of relief, and Kui Qingpei said, "Looks like this is it. The disaster gods that will bring forth calamity are about to revive. This is not a safe place to be, let us quickly return to Mingdu and prevent ourselves from being dragged in this trouble!"
945
946There was also a stone statue near Surging River Academy, and at that moment, the stone statue seemed to recover the color of flesh gradually and the stone characteristics faded away. Terrifying waves of divine might emanated out from his body and caused ripples in the surrounding space.
947
948Lou Yunqu and the rest felt the shockwaves from the stone statues, and their hearts were alarmed.
949
950The stone statues had a dedicated title in the celestial heavens—Disaster Gods.
951
952They were gods that were used by the celestial heavens to descend disasters on the lower bound that went against the teachings. Once the disaster gods descended, the world would be in utter chaos. In the past, ordinary worlds only had one or two disaster gods descending at most, and that would be enough to wipe out the world. However, it was different for Eternal Peace; there were over thirty disaster gods that had descended at the same time!
953
954Not only that, along with the arrival of the disaster gods, there were also over a dozen meteorological weapons.
955
956Those kinds of meteorological weapons were called Calamity Divine Weapons, and they were weapons that were used to punish the people—they were built by ancient gods that were born from heaven and earth. Just one or two calamity divine weapons were already enough to destroy a world in every single area!
957
958And there were actually over a dozen of such weapons in Eternal Peace.
959
960The disaster gods with the calamity divine weapons were truly a disposition of troops that could wipe out the world!
961
962The disasters gods didn't recognize anyone, and it was the same for the calamity divine weapons as well; thus, Lou Yunqu and the rest had to leave immediately after igniting the disaster so that they didn't get caught up in it.
963
964Kui Qingpei walked over and grabbed the mirror in Qin Mu's hand with a smile. "Master spent so much effort to refine this Mingdu Jade Mirror. He spent four to five years just to complete it, and this treasure was originally used to target Son of Youdu. How would we expect Junior Brother Qi Jiuyi to let this jade mirror fall into the hands of this brat? This brat looks intelligent but hasn't he still fallen into our trap? It's truly so easy to deal with him..."
965
966Just as his palm grabbed the Mingdu Jade Mirror, Qin Mu's palm also grabbed his palm.
967
968"Is it really?" Qin Mu's voice rang out beside his ears, and it was sinister sounding, which made people tremble without feeling cold.
969
970Kui Qingpei raised his head and saw the three eyes of Qin Mu shining with the light of a butterfly wing.
971
972Kui Qingpei's blood ran cold. "Son of Youdu, you aren't sealed..."
973
974"My older brother is the one that's sealed."
975
976The other palm of Qin Mu grabbed onto Kui Qingpei's head and twisted it forcefully. Kui Qingpei could see his own buttocks and the back of his soles.
977
978Twang—
979
980Light burst forth from the three eyes of Qin Mu and the three light pierced the back of Kui Qingpei's head and came out from the front.
981
982"Didn't Qi Jiuyi tell you anything? He tried to fix me in place with this mirror but he couldn't, and instead, he lost to me!"
983
984Qin Mu opened his mouth to suck in a deep breath, and Kui Qingpei's primordial spirit that was about to escape into Mingdu couldn't stop itself from flying towards Qin Mu's mouth!
985
986"Since you are so dumb, don't reincarnate, let me taste your primordial spirit!"
987
988Lou Yunqu and Fu Yanqi's expressions changed drastically, and they hurried over to save him, but they heard a loud bang. Fu Yanqi flew backward, but Lou Yunqu had the highest cultivation and was a god on God Execution Stage—his skills were higher and hit Qin Mu to tumble a few steps back.
989
990Kui Qingpei's corporeal body was already dead, and his primordial spirit tried to break free to escape into Mingdu. Qin Mu landed on the ground and stretched his hands out to grab him in midair, making him unable to return to Mingdu.
991
992"The taste of a Mingdu's disciple must definitely be more delicious than those monsters in Youdu!" Qin Mu opened up his mouth in excitement.
993
994Lou Yunqi and Fu Yanqi came attacking over again, trying their best to save Kui Qingpei before Qin Mu ate him.
995
996In the heart of Qin Mu's brows, Crimson Emperor blinked his eyes on the Qin word land. "Are we giving him too much power of Youdu?"
997
998Heaven Duke's face was all bruised, and he said, "It's not much, don't worry, I know what I'm doing! When have I ever done something I'm not confident in?"
999
1000Beside them, the big baby sat there with a stiff body without moving. Youdu devil qi was pouring furiously out from his body to flow outside.
1001
1002They had tried to subdue Qin Fengqing and planned to send his power to Qin Mu, yet Qin Fengqing was truly strong. He beat up both of them, and even when they used up all of their methods, they still couldn't suppress Qin Fengqing.
1003
1004Luckily, Qin Mu found the Mingdu Jade Mirror that Son of Heaven Yin had made and when Qin Mu looked into the mirror, a mirror also appeared in Qin word seal and landed in front of Qin Fengqing. The baby examined the mirror curiously, and decadent sound came out from the mirror which fixed the baby with boundless strength and divine arts in place.
1005
1006Crimson Emperor asked suspiciously, "If the power given to him isn't much, why does he wants to eat the primordial spirit of that young fellow? Is Qin Mu so ferocious normally?"
1007
1008Heaven Duke blinked his eyes, and Crimson Emperor also blinked his eyes. Both of them looked at each other in dismay.
1009
1010Heaven Duke muttered, "Is there a way to salvage this?"

1016
1017
1018Crimson Emperor paced to and fro. He calculated and said, "He has cultivated my Undying God Consciousness, and only with your power and mine is he able to suppress his older brother and seize the identity and power of the Son of Youdu. Now that we are giving him too much power and his older brother is being fixed in place by Son of Heaven Yin's Mingdu Jade Mirror, the only thing we can do is to block the seal and stop him from continuing to steal his older brother's power..."
1019
1020Just as he said that much, Heaven Duke blocked the seal and prevented the power of the big baby from continuing to flow out.
1021
1022"What next?" Heaven Duke hurried him.
1023
1024Crimson Emperor said, "We can then break the jade mirror's seal and let Qin Fengqing fight over the Youdu devil nature with him, we can let him seize back the identity of Son of Youdu."
1025
1026Heaven Duke walked forward and checked on the state of the big baby. He saw a peculiar power was suppressing the butterfly-wing shaped lights in his three eyes. There seemed to be a strange kind of whirlpool in his pupils, and the whirlpools were collapsing inwards continuously, which sealed the big baby's consciousness.
1027
1028Heaven Duke tried to break the divine art, but the path Son of Heaven Yin had walked differed from his. He didn't understand some of the runes so he could only break the seal with brute force. However, he was only a clone, and his abilities were limited—he couldn't grind away the seal Son of Heaven Yin had placed in a short time.
1029
1030"This method isn't going to work, are there other methods?" Heaven Duke could only give up and ask.
1031
1032Crimson Emperor looked at the sky and said, "Wake up Brahma Buddha, and we can combine our forces to break Son of Heaven Yin's seal. Wake Qin Fengqing up, and we can work together to suppress Qin Mu!"
1033
1034Heaven Duke shook his head. "Once Old Buddha falls asleep, how can we wake him up that easily? This idea can't work either."
1035
1036Crimson Emperor said with a sigh, "In that case, it's all up to fate. Hope Qin Mu still retains his consciousness and won't create too much trouble."
1037
1038"I sure hope so."
1039
1040In the outside world, Qin Mu unveiled his three heads and six arms which thrashed around. His three heads gave off short cries of excitement as he attacked Lou Yunqu and Fu Yanqi at the same time!
1041
1042"Yaaaaaaaaaa!"
1043
1044Countless divine arts drowned out Fu Yanqi and Lou Yunqu, and in that instant, both of them felt as though countless Qin Mu were attacking them furiously and their scalps crawled.
1045
1046Fu Yanqi was only able to block two divine arts before the protection divine art on his body shattered under Qin Mu's brute force.
1047
1048"Splitting Seven Spirits with One Finger!" He roared and threw his right hand forward. With only his thumb remaining, he bent it upwards and pressed down on Qin Mu.
1049
1050A world of darkness appeared behind him, and that was the apparition of Mingdu. Seven apparations of gods in all kinds of shapes and sizes stood behind him, and they each had their own image.
1051
1052Those were gods that represented the seven spirits which were Canine Corpse, Concealed Arrow, Yin of Sparrow, Seizing Thief, Not Toxic, Remove Filth and Smelly Lung.
1053
1054With the blessing of the seven great gods, his strike had the power to tear apart the seven spirits.
1055
1056Qin Mu gripped his four fingers and also bent his thumb upwards to attack him. Fu Yanqi heard the sound of the bone in his only thumb shattering, and it exploded with a bang in the next instant.
1057
1058Next, the power traveled up his wrist and into his arm. The joint on his elbow dislocated, and he could hear the bone spikes of his small arm piercing out of his skin.
1059
1060The arm bone of his small arm shot out from his wrist and came off his body.
1061
1062Searing pain came over him, and even though he didn't care about his corporeal body, the pain from his corporeal body was still immense.
1063
1064On the other hand, the other five arms of Qin Mu clenched into five fists and pressed down on the heart of Fu Yanqi's brows, his heart, his dantian, his tailbone and his sea of qi with his five thumbs.
1065
1066Fu Yanqi puked out blood and felt his primordial spirit becoming numb. His primordial spirit was actually sealed by Qin Mu using Youdu divine arts, and his blood ran cold. Fear crept up in his heart. 'He didn't borrow the power of the Gods of Seven Spirits, and his attainments in the souls and spirits have already far surpassed mine!'
1067
1068With six arms and three heads, Qin Mu could execute divine art at an incomparably fast speed. It was truly like a storm, and among the flurry of divine arts, there was even countless punches and kicks. He was actually executing spell divine arts, sword technique divine arts, and corporeal body divine arts at the same time!
1069
1070Three heads and six arms were the most extreme learning of Crimson Light Era. Because of the broken gap during the Crimson Emperor Period and Light Emperor Period, a huge flaw existed. By cultivating both of their ultimate arts, Qin Mu managed to patch the flaw.
1071
1072Three heads and six arms without flaws was truly like having three people, and it was even stronger. That made Fu Yanqi unable to find any flaw, and it also made Lou Yunqu unable to find a suitable chance to injure him severely.
1073
1074Fu Yanqi's cultivation was slightly lower. He was still on Jade Pool Realm, and after his primordial spirit was sealed, he immediately suffered heavy injuries. In that split second, he received countless punches and kicks while a hundred sword lights and knife lights pierced through his body, turning him into a messed up pile of flesh.
1075
1076Even so, he was also pretty decisive and suddenly moved back to vanish from Eternal Peace by hiding in the darkness.
1077
1078He was the disciple of Mingdu Black Deity after all. At that moment, he executed the ultimate art of Mingdu to vanish into Mingdu. In that way, nothing could hit him.
1079
1080Yet in the next moment, Qin Mu actually fought his way into Mingdu!
1081
1082The two of them fought in the darkness. When Lou Yunqu came attacking, Fu Yanqi's primordial spirit was already smacked out of his body.
1083
1084Qin Mu grabbed his primordial spirit by the neck while he blocked the attacks of Lou Yunqu with his other five arms.
1085
1086Fu Yanqi's corporeal body landed on the ground, and he still wasn't dead. He was about to pounce over when one of Qin Mu's heads shot out divine light. Three beams of divine light nailed him to the ground.
1087
1088Qin Mu's neck turned, and the other head also shot out beams of divine light to blow Lou Yunqu away.
1089
1090Lou Yunqu was strong after all and managed to block his attack with brute force, but Qin Mu's neck turned again, and another three beams of divine light shot out from the third head which blew him away again.
1091
1092Lou Yunqu was panicking. If Qin Mu had just killed Fu Yanqi and Kui Qingpei, it would be fine. Both of them were disciples of Mingdu, and they would be guided back to Mingdu, allowing their primordial spirits to return to Mingdu.
1093
1094Black Deity controlled Mingdu and could let them reincarnate very quickly. In the future, they would still be disciples of Black Deity.
1095
1096In the past, they had reincarnated many times; therefore, they weren't afraid of dying and having their path destroyed. At most, they would reincarnate and start over again.
1097
1098However, what was happening was different.
1099
1100Qin Mu was the Son of Youdu, and they had heard rumors of his ferocious reputation. When he was born in Youdu, he had eaten countless ghosts in Youdu and swallowed quite a number of big shots. Even ghosts on Emperor's Throne were beaten miserably by him.
1101
1102If Qin Mu decided to eat them, they would die completely, and there would be no possibility of reincarnation.
1103
1104Qin Mu forced back Lou Yunqu and immediately opened his mouth to bring the primordial spirit of Fu Yanqi over. There was a look of excitement on his face.
1105
1106Lou Yunqu gritted his teeth, and his body appeared and disappeared as he transversed through Mingdu and reality to avoid the divine light from Qin Mu's eyes. He tried his best to attack Qin Mu so he wouldn't have the chance to swallow Fu Yanqi.
1107
1108Suddenly, he threw out two divine arts to break apart Fu Yanqi and Kui Qingpei's corporeal bodies. When those two corpses broke apart, blood sacrifice immediately burst forth turning the two corpses into two trails of blood light.
1109
1110In the vicinity of Surging River Academy, the stone statue instantly resurrected, and his blood and flesh grew rapidly.
1111
1112Qin Mu blocked down Lou Yunqu's attack, and another few beams of divine light shot out from his eyes again to hit Lou Yunqu out from Mingdu. He grabbed Fu Yanqi's primordial spirit and sent it into his mouth.
1113
1114Right at that moment, he suddenly felt a shadow over his head and hurriedly dodged. With a loud crash, the observatory shook violently as an incomparably tall and sturdy god squatted in the center of the observatory.
1115
1116The tall and sturdy god gradually stood up.
1117
1118'Using the corpses of both junior brothers has finally awakened the disaster god!'
1119
1120Lou Yunqu was delighted and was about to work together with the disaster god to attack Qin Mu when that disaster smashed down on him. Lou Yunqu was caught off-guard and got smashed deep into the ground by the huge fist!
1121
1122The ground caved in and formed a deep pit.
1123
1124That disaster god lifted his fist, and there was still blood dripping.
1125
1126Lou Yunqu's bones were all broken, and he was sprawled out on the ground. He was full of regrets. 'I forgot that these disaster gods recognize no one at all...'
1127
1128He was agitated. That disaster god completely crippled his corporeal body so he could only give it up. His primordial spirit left his body, and he thought to himself, 'Mingdu's disciples don't need corporeal bodies, our battle power wouldn't be much weaker without a corporeal body.'
1129
1130When his primordial spirit left his body, he immediately saw the disaster god having a fierce battle with Qin Mu in the sky.
1131
1132At that moment, Qin Mu was close to berserk. All kinds of divine arts came out naturally from his hands. Sakra Buddha's scripture, First Ancestor Human Emperor's Heaven and Earth Mudra Skills, Ancestral Dragon Supreme Mystery Technique from the true dragon's nest, the techniques and skills of the elders in Disabled Elderly Village, the divine art of the past human emperors, or the techniques of Crimson Emperor and Light Emperor—they were all executed out no matter if he had been able to comprehend them in the past or not!
1133
1134Even though he didn't completely have the power of Son of Youdu, he had still managed to borrow a small portion of power which allowed him to have cultivation that was on par with Lou Yunqu.
1135
1136With such dense magic power, controlling the divine arts was as simple as could be. Even when facing the disaster god, he didn't back down. He defended less and attacked more.
1137
1138He didn't have any spirit weapons or divine weapons in his hands, so he just fought the disaster god with bare hands. No matter if it was close combat or range attacks, they were all wild and violent. He just overwhelmed the god with his divine arts.
1139
1140Lou Yunqu's cultivation was denser than his, but his transformation in divine art couldn't be compared to Qin Mu. Furthermore, many divine arts of Mingdu targeted the soul. In terms of offensive methods, he was far inferior to Qin Mu.
1141
1142'How many divine arts is this fellow actually proficient in?'
1143
1144Lou Yunqu looked at the battle from the sky, and his heart was palpitating. 'So this is the full strength of the Son of Youdu? He's truly powerful! No wonder master wanted to get him no matter what!'
1145
1146What he didn't know was the power than Qin Mu had borrowed wasn't even one-hundredth of the Son of Youdu's power. It was cut off by Heaven Duke and Crimson Emperor in case things got out of hand.
1147
1148The disaster god had boundless strength. He could force Qin Mu back with one divine art and even injure Qin Mu. However, Qin Mu had cultivated Crimson Emperor and Light Emperor's creation techniques, so no matter if it was the corporeal body or the primordial spirit, the recovery ability was to be feared. Any injuries could heal quickly, and he was absolutely unable to die.
1149
1150Qin Mu's divine art was short and powerful. His divine art could explode in a very short distance, and the terrifying power was actually controlled in a very small area. He didn't have any spirit weapon, but his vital qi could transform into incomparably fine flying swords to swirl around him. The threat of the swords that come and go was even more astonishing!
1151
1152That kind of skill was learned from his father, Qin Hanzhen. Qin Hanzhen's paths, skills, and divine arts could manage to let him gather boundless power into an ordinary sword. The explosive divine art would only destroy a small area, but the power was unbelievably huge.
1153
1154After cultivating with Qin Hanzhen for some time, even though he had learned some of his father's abilities, Qin Mu was always unable to master how to control the power of the divine art in a small area because Qin Hanzhen had walked the path of Founding Emperor.
1155
1156But at that moment, he could actually master such a battle skill with ease!
1157
1158"I'll beat you to death and eat you!"
1159
1160Qin Mu leaped high up and was full of excitement. He circled the disaster god and struck at him with countless divine arts.
1161
1162The disaster god blocked with extremely fast speed, but he was still hit repeatedly. Suddenly, he gave off a dull hiss, and the Five Thunder Pot that Qin Mu had placed in Surging River Academy boomed as thunder and lightning crossed one another.
1163
1164Five Thunder Pot rose into the air and the lid opened up. Five great thunderclouds poured out from the pot, and there were countless fire bell divine weapons mixed in the clouds. Those were fire bells that had the size of a fist, and when they tumbled, they didn't give off tinkling sounds. Instead, they gave off rumbles that sounded like the gongs of a huge bell!
1165
1166The disaster god executed Five Thunder Pot, and the thunderclouds from the pot went straight for Qin Mu. With the thunder and lightning, the power was truly matchlessly terrifying.
1167
1168"Eat!"
1169
1170Qin Mu opened his mouth and started to swallow those thunderclouds along with the fire bell divine weapons.
1171
1172'Eating even North Deity's divine art?' Lou Yunqu jumped in shock. He had planned to assassinate Qin Mu from Mingdu, but his heart started to palpitate when he saw that sight.
1173
1174In the next instant, Qin Mu hugged the Five Thunder Pot and treated the pot as a wine jar to start drinking heartily from the pot!
1175
1176'This…'
1177
1178Lou Yunqu's heart was filled with fear. He truly couldn't provoke an existence that could drink the five great thundercloud and fire bell divine weapons like fine wine.
1179
1180'I don't care anymore!'
1181
1182His body shook, and a gate appeared behind him. He shouted fiercely, "Mingdu Heavenly Gate! All devil gods of Mingdu, listen to my command, come out and kill the enemy!"
1183
1184Darkness surged forth from behind, and the passage to another world was opened up. A devil god riding a skeleton horse that was burning with flames of the netherworld walked out from the door.
1185
1186Next, a bunch of devil gods from Mingdu rushed towards Qin Mu!
1187
1188Qin Mu was drinking Five Thunder Pot heartily and got drowned out by those devil gods in an instant.
1189
1190In Qin word land, Heaven Duke and Crimson Emperor looked at the situation outside nervously. Looking at the situation, Heaven Duke hesitated and said, "He borrowed not even one-hundredth of his power, but it looks like he won't be able to defeat them. Should we give him some more power?"
1191
1192Crimson Emperor replied coldly, "How much? How can we clean up the mess if we screw up?"
1193

1197
1198
1199
1200Heaven Duke and Crimson Emperor stared at each other with wide eyes, and both of them sank into a problematic situation.
1201
1202If they didn't lend Qin Mu even more power, Qin Mu would probably find it hard to deal with the devil gods from Mingdu. Lou Yunqu had already lost his composure, which was why he stooped to opening Mingdu Heavenly Gate to receive the devil gods from various worlds to attack Qin Mu.
1203
1204With the disaster god whose abilities were immeasurable, Qin Mu was in a precarious situation.
1205
1206If he gave Qin Mu more power from Son of Youdu, Qin Mu would completely transform into a devil and turn into something evil that they were even terrified of. When that time came, it would be even harder to clean up the mess.
1207
1208"If not..."
1209
1210Heaven Duke hesitated. "We wait a while more?"
1211
1212Crimson Emperor nodded his head. "En, let's wait a while more, just a moment more..."
1213
1214The two ancient beings were uneasy. Heaven Duke opened up a seam and borrowed Qin Mu's third eye to look at the situation outside. After peeking for a moment, Crimson Emperor couldn't resist popping over and pushing him away.
1215
1216Both of them came to a consensus to take turns peeking.
1217
1218Outside, Qin Mu, the disaster god, and the rest of the people had fought their way up into the sky above the Surging River. When the devil gods from Mingdu drowned him out, Qin Mu opened his mouth and spat out lightning which drowned out the devil gods of Mingdu instead!
1219
1220There was an extremely high number of devil gods from Mingdu, and even so, many gods were trembling from being struck by lightning. Their bodies suddenly broke down and dropped out of the sky like a bunch of bones.
1221
1222Mingdu Devil Gods were different from devil gods of the other world. Mingdu was a world that had broken off from Youdu, and it had some characteristics of Youdu. It was also a place where primordial spirits or souls gathered.
1223
1224But what was different was that the soul and primordial spirit in Youdu couldn't preserve a corporeal body, unless it were those devil gods that were born from the Youdu's devil nature and darkness. Of course, gods that were stationed in Youdu by the celestial heavens could also have a corporeal body.
1225
1226And in Mingdu, most of the gods could have a corporeal body, but that kind of corporeal body was different from normal. The corporeal bodies of Mingdu's gods were actually their bones before they had died.
1227
1228After the gods of the celestial heavens died, they would usually fall into Mingdu. If their corporeal body was preserved, it could be brought to Mingdu as well.
1229
1230However, because the corporeal body had already died, it couldn't escape decomposition, so only the skeleton was able to be used. Therefore the most commonly seen in Mingdu was the army of skeleton gods.
1231
1232Other than that, there were also some people that possessed complete a corporeal body, but they were usually gods dispatched down by the celestial heavens or the strong practitioners under Son of Heaven Yin's bloodline.
1233
1234The five great thunderclouds and fire bell divine weapons that Qin Mu had not yet digested spewed out and the devil gods turned into broken bones. However, those bones pieced themselves together under the control of the devil gods' primordial spirits and continued to attack Qin Mu.
1235
1236At the same time, the disaster god was also blasting away the devil gods around him to close in on Qin Mu.
1237
1238The devil gods that got blasted away would shatter into pieces in midair.
1239
1240His battle power was the strongest, and even if Qin Mu fought with everything he had, it was difficult for him to gain the upper hand. It was incomparably dangerous to let him near.
1241
1242Yet the broken bones could reassemble themselves even when they got shattered into power. It was truly strange. They were like an army of undying gods.
1243
1244Lou Yunqu looked at the situation nervously and stared at the devils surrounding Qin Mu. Broken bones fell continuously from the sky and into the Surging River, but even the bones would rush out from the river to rejoin the battle.
1245
1246The devil gods of Mingdu didn't fear death because they were long dead. They didn't care about any attacks or injuries at all.
1247
1248The Surging River's water flow was cut off from the battle, and that revealed the dragon vein underneath. The dragon vein had been growing quickly over the years, and its scales and claws were even clearer.
1249
1250The river floated in the sky and formed a gorgeous sight under the beautiful moonlight. They were like moons formed by water, and they reflected the bright radiance of the moon.
1251
1252Qin Mu flew among the huge water balls with the gods, and they continued to fight fiercely. In every collision, a devil god would be blown backward, and the recoil would force Qin Mu to keep shifting his position.
1253
1254Water balls in the air exploded and splattered in all direction. They looked stunning under the moonlight.
1255
1256The terrifying one was still that disaster god. In one strike, his divine power pierced through a dozen huge water balls and the mighty force of a god tore the water balls into the smallest atom.
1257
1258"If this continues, it won't be hard to take him down."
1259
1260Lou Yunqu could finally let out a sigh of relief, but at that moment, he felt a chill behind his back. He turned his head around in a hurry. Behind his Mingdu Heavenly Gate, a figure gradually appeared from the world of darkness, and a beautiful face was lit up by the moonlight.
1261
1262"Master!"
1263
1264Lou Yunqi was astonished and was about to greet when he saw Son of Heaven Yin putting a finger to his lips, making the gesture for him to keep quiet. With a smile, he looked at Qin Mu across Mingdu.
1265
1266Lou Yunqu didn't understand and felt uneasy. 'Master has personally come over to watch this battle. Is Son of Youdu really that important? Even though he is strong, he's not as strong as the rumors said so why is master's attention brought here?'
1267
1268Son of Heaven Yin's gaze was faint as he locked his gaze on Qin Mu who was fighting tens of thousands of gods. His gaze moved as Qin Mu moved.
1269
1270'So it is him.'
1271
1272Son of Heaven Yin seemed to be in deep thoughts. 'We have met in Youdu, and I still thought he was Tian Shu's disciple. It looks like this brat was fooling me. How convincing...'
1273
1274The devil gods of Mingdu were all dead people and Son of Heaven Yin was a living god. Dead people could enter Eternal Peace through Mingdu Heavenly Gate, but he couldn't.
1275
1276Mingdu was once part of Youdu, and it still inherited some unique characteristics of Youdu. However, they weren't whole.
1277
1278That was why when Lou Yunqu and the rest wanted to enter Eternal Peace that they had to take the phoenix ship of Southern Heaven Red Deity Qi Xiayu.
1279
1280'He still hasn't recovered to his peak performance yet, could my Mingdu Jade Brirror have suppressed him?'
1281
1282He didn't know that Qin Fengqing had two different souls in one body; thus, he was in doubt.
1283
1284At that moment, no matter if it was Son of Heaven Yin who was hiding in Mingdu or Heaven Duke and Crimson Emperor who were hiding in Qin word land, they all saw a terrifying sight.
1285
1286Qin Mu fought for a long time and never fell. He suddenly sucked in a deep breath, and the air above the Surging River ran dry!
1287
1288All of the skeletal devil gods froze in midair and tried their best to stabilize their body. However, the primordial spirits in the skeletal devil gods got pulled out of their body by a strange force.
1289
1290All of the skeletal gods tried their best to defend against the terrifying force, but there were still some devil gods that had their primordial spirits pulled out. They flew towards Qin Mu's mouth against their will.
1291
1292Terror latched onto their hearts. Ever since they had died, they had never felt such fear.
1293
1294It was a natural suppression, and it was a suppression that a higher lifeform had over a lower lifeform. He made them felt fear from the depths of their souls!
1295
1296The divine art of Qin Mu also sucked the disaster god, forcing him to try his best to withstand the suction force that was targeting his primordial spirit and soul.
1297
1298His cultivation was extremely strong and overbearing. Just purely on cultivation, he had surpassed the current Qin Mu and Lou Yunqu, but even so, his primordial spirit was being pulled out from his body from time to time. He could only go all out and use his dense magic power to defend, and he couldn't attack Qin Mu at all.
1299
1300'This is the power of the Son of Youdu?' Lou Yunqu felt his hair standing on end.
1301
1302His primordial spirit left his broken corporeal body, and at that moment, his primordial spirit also felt an indescribable fear as though Qin Mu was his natural enemy!
1303
1304Heaven Duke and Crimson Emperor who were hiding in Qin word land were also slightly frightened. Heaven Duke said with a low voice, "Earth Count's power, Earth Count's power that's not controlled by the rules of Youdu..."
1305
1306Crimson Emperor's was astonished. He understood the meaning of Heaven Duke's words. The power that Qin Mu was executing seemed similar to Earth Count's power, but it was different.
1307
1308Earth Count was a natural born god, and when he was born, he had to follow the rules of Youdu. Even though he had unimaginable power, he had to act according to the rules.
1309
1310Meanwhile, Son of Youdu had a power that was similar to Earth Count, but he jumped out of the limits of Youdu. He could unleash the power to his heart's content!
1311
1312That was the reason why the big shots were afraid of Qin Mu, and why many of them wanted to get Qin Mu.
1313
1314Heaven Duke muttered, "Earth Count's power that isn't constrained by the rules of Youdu is a power that terrifies people."
1315
1316"This is the power I want to receive."
1317
1318Son of Heaven Yin's sighs came from Mingdu Heavenly Gate. "I've always been searching for a way to surpass Earth Count, but I could never find it. Earth Count is too strong, and even if I cultivate to Emperor's Throne, I still can't catch up to him, much less surpass him. And now, the path is right in front of my eyes."
1319
1320"If I can get it, I will be able to replace..." he said with a low voice.
1321
1322Lou Yunqu was astonished and pretended not to have heard Son of Heaven Yin's words.
1323
1324Son of Heaven Yin's words were simply too terrifying. Even though Mingdu became independent from Youdu, some words like getting rid of Earth Count and replacing him were still too alarming. What kind of existence was Earth Count?
1325
1326No matter if it was Youdu or Fengdu, or even the dark capitals and black cities that existed in the past, there were all places constructed from the horns of Earth Count, and they were all similar to Youdu.
1327
1328Just the fragments of his horns were able to create such gorgeous and strange worlds after death, which showed how terrifying Earth Count's abilities were.
1329
1330Replacing him was something Lou Yunqu wouldn't even dare to think, but Son of Heaven Yin dared to.
1331
1332"If I let him swallow the devil gods of my Mingdu, where would I place the face of Mingdu Black Deity?"
1333
1334In Mingdu, a huge whirlpool of void suddenly appeared behind Son of Heaven Yin, and in the whirlpool, a strange eye opened up to shoot out a dark glow which shone on Eternal Peace from Mingdu. The glow landed on the skeletal devil gods that had their primordial spirits pulled out.
1335
1336Those primordial spirits were instantly able to break free from Qin Mu's suction and flew back uncontrollably towards Lou Yunqu's Mingdu Heavenly Gate as they tried to return to Youdu.
1337
1338Right at that moment, the third eye in the heart of Qin Mu's brows suddenly shone brightly, and the area covered by the butterfly wing shaped lights were growing wider and wider. Before those primordial spirits could even fly back to Mingdu in time, they were fixed in place again, and they struggled weakly before floating back.
1339
1340Son of Heaven Yin gave a surprised cry and frowned slightly. The whirlpool behind his body grew larger, and the strange eye in the whirlpool also began slowly opening up. The glow from the eye slowly changed from dark to bright.
1341
1342The eye in the whirlpool looked similar and yet different from the eye in the heart of Qin Mu's brows. It was likely a divine art that was trying to imitate the vertical eye that was in the heart of Earth Count's brows.
1343
1344However, when encountering Qin Mu's third eye, his divine art actually couldn't win over his third eye.
1345
1346Qin Mu was suppressing his divine art.
1347
1348"The power of Son of Youdu is truly extraordinary!"
1349
1350Son of Heaven Yin was surprised and delighted. He couldn't help becoming excited. "If I can use this power, the entire Youdu will become my territory, why would I need to be afraid of Earth Count, be afraid of the celestial emperor? Open!"
1351
1352The whirlpool behind him flew forward and imprinted on the heart of his brows. It formed a third eye in the heart of his brows.
1353
1354Son of Heaven Yin used his own magic power to execute the eye, and it instantly suppressed Qin Mu's third eye. At that moment, cryptic Youdu language of high and low notes emanated from Qin Mu's mouth.
1355
1356Son of Heaven Yin revealed a puzzled look and felt an invisible force invading Mingdu to search for souls.
1357
1358'Soul Guide! He is trying to...'
1359
1360Just as he thought until there, the glow from Qin Mu's third eye passed by Lou Yunqu and pierced through Lou Yunqu's Mingdu Heavenly Gate. The glow rushed into Mingdu and shone on him.
1361
1362Son of Heaven Yin's primordial spirit instantly surged forth and almost left his body.
1363
1364'Soul Guide can still be used like this?'
1365
1366Son of Heaven Yin was puzzled. Soul Guide was only a divine art used to summon the souls of the dead and return the dead to the living. Yet, Qin Mu was thinking of pulling his primordial spirit out from Mingdu by force!
1367
1368Currently, Qin Mu only had one percent of Son of Youdu's power so he naturally couldn't pull his primordial spirit out from Mingdu. However, all the techniques used to execute all kinds of divine arts had truly astonished him and brought him quite some trouble.
1369
1370Yet, at the instant his primordial spirit was pulled by Soul Guide, there was a sudden change of events.
1371
1372A goat-horned god that reeked entirely of alcohol laughed heroicly and rushed into Mingdu Heavenly Gate to slash at the heart of Son of Heaven Yin's brows.
1373
1374"Mingdu Black Deity, I've come to thank you for your wine!"

1376Chapter 708: Surprise Attack on Son of Heaven Yin
1377
1378Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
1379
1380
1381
1382The Imperial Gate Divine Knife slashed right on Son of Heaven Yin's face, and the timing was impeccable. It was right when Qin Mu used Soul Guide to pull Son of Heaven Yin's soul.
1383
1384Son of Heaven Yin received the blow head on, and the Imperial Gate Divine Knife nearly split him into half. The terrifying part about the knife wasn't only because of the power it had to be able to sever Earth Count's horn, but there was also another ability in which the divine knife could swallow primordial spirits.
1385
1386Even Tian Shu, the knife bearer, could also have his primordial spirit swallowed when he was careless and got trapped inside for seven to eight million years.
1387
1388The instant Son of Heaven Yin suffered from the attack, he could feel the world spinning, and his primordial spirit fell into the Imperial Gate Divine Knife.
1389
1390'I've been tricked!'
1391
1392However, he was also decisive, and the instant he came back to his senses, he mobilized the power of Mingdu to bombard the Imperial Gate Divine Knife. Mingdu devil qi instantly surged forth and rushed furiously into the Imperial Gate Divine Knife.
1393
1394"Infinite Reincarnation!"
1395
1396Son of Heaven Yin's primordial spirit immediately executed his divine art the moment he fell into the world inside the knife and a sea of the underworld overflowing into the sky appeared. In the middle of the sea was a Mingdu Heavenly Gate and Son of Heaven Yin flew into the gate. He passed through that gate. Before he passed through the gate, he was still a cultured scholar, but after he flew out of the gate, his appearance had completely changed. He became a delicately pretty woman.
1397
1398In front of him, another heavenly gate appeared, and Son of Heaven Yin who had transformed into a woman passed through the gate.
1399
1400The speed at which his primordial spirit cast spells was extremely fast. His body moved like flickering light and passing shadows as he passed through gate after gate. He was so fast that the naked eye couldn't capture him.
1401
1402Passing through Mingdu Heavenly Gate every time was like going through a reincarnation, and the primordial spirit would undergo a huge change. No matter if it was the face, gender, or race, they were completely different from before as though he was another person.
1403
1404That kind of infinite reincarnation allowed him to reincarnate thousands of times, and the speed was extremely fast. It was so fast that even the formations in the Imperial Gate Divine Knife couldn't change fast enough.
1405
1406The Imperial Gate Divine Knife possessed a flaw that wasn't small. It was because there was such a flaw in Sakra Buddha's technique, which resulted in a slight imperfection in forging the divine knife.
1407
1408Qin Mu found the method to leave Imperial Gate Divine Knife from Sakra Scripture and the method that Son of Heaven Yin used was to use extremely fast reincarnations to keep changing his identity.
1409
1410Every time he changed an identity, the Imperial Gate Divine Knife has to adjust the formation structure in the knife once. The formation runes that Founding Emperor had designed for the Imperial Gate Divine Knife weren't unchanging. Since it was a formation skill, it had to keep changing in order to suit the person that entered the formation skills and trap them.
1411
1412Son of Heaven Yin used Infinite Reincarnations to changed his identity and race, which resulted in the Imperial Gate Divine Knife changing its formation continuously as well. When the speed of the reincarnations finally surpassed the speed of the formation changing, it allowed Son of Heaven Yin to find the flaw that Qin Mu had calculated for a year in a very short period of time.
1413
1414Son of Heaven Yin's eyes lit up. When his primordial spirit flew out of the gate, his primordial spirit has already broken free of the knife. He regained his freedom.
1415
1416When his primordial spirit flew out from the door, he returned to his original appearance. However, his corporeal body had already been split into two halves by Tian Shu!
1417
1418"A strong practitioner on Emperor's Throne is merely so!"
1419
1420Tian Shu laughed loud and swung his divine knife to sever the neck of Son of Heaven Yin. "Your abilities also don't seem to be higher than me who is on Luminous Sky Realm!"
1421
1422The left and right parts of Son of Heaven Yin's body separated, and each of them walked into a gate. When they walked over from the gates, they became two Son of Heaven Yin.
1423
1424"The difference between Luminous Sky and Emperor's Throne is beyond your imagination."
1425
1426The two Son of Heaven Yin said in unison, "Tian Shu, you are a heavenly king after all, how can you still be so childish? Do you think you can kill me just because you are holding Founding Emperor's knife?"
1427
1428He separated into two, and the two Son of Heaven Yin were actually both his original form, and they were equivalent to Son of Heaven Yin at his peak. Tian Shu was no match for them.
1429
1430With two Son of Heaven Yin attacking him, Tian Shu couldn't defend against them even though he had remarkable abilities. He could only defend with the power of the Imperial Gate Divine Knife.
1431
1432Sounds of waves came from the darkness as a boundless sea of the underworld appeared. Under Tian Shu's feet was the boundless black sea, and it was a sea formed by the black soul sand.
1433
1434The moving black stone sand was truly a sight to behold.
1435
1436The black soul sand in Mingdu was actually no less than Heavenly Yin World and formed a vast sea. He didn't know what the origin of the black soul sand was.
1437
1438Tian Shu's heart trembled violently. In the past, he had fought with Son of Heaven Yin, but the location wasn't in Mingdu. They encountered each other in the outside world and fought. Because Son of Heaven Yin was overconfident in his own capacity, he didn't use a fatal move straightaway which was why he was able to escape.
1439
1440At that moment he was in Mingdu and above the sea of the underworld; furthermore, he had injured Son of Heaven Yin and infuriated him, so he didn't have the confidence to retreat from Son of Heaven Yin.
1441
1442Right at that moment, a loud bang suddenly rang out, and the entire Mingdu shook. A world in darkness had collided together with Mingdu that was in the darkness!
1443
1444A cape flapped around in the darkness, and the cape of King Yama covered the entire Fengdu. His gaze was awe-inspiring, and countless gods of Fengdu were standing on the city walls under the cape. They were overflowing with murderous auras.
1445
1446The world that had collided with Mingdu was none other than Fengdu!
1447
1448The two worlds were both fragments of Earth Count's horns, and they had finally collided together at that moment.
1449
1450King Yama's hand that was pressing down on his sword suddenly let go and the sword light filled the sea of the underworld. He mobilized the power of Fengdu and wielded his sword to come over. The horizontal and vertical sword lights were so straight that it was as though they had gone through strict measurement, while the arc drawn by his sword light was a perfect curve.
1451
1452People who cultivated the sword would rarely have such a strict requirement for themselves. They sought more transformation for their sword skills, but King Yama was strict. He put in a lot of hard work in his basic sword skills and any sword skill in his hands was prim and proper. He gave off the bearing of a great master, and no flaw could be found at all.
1453
1454He brought Fengdu to fight into Mingdu, and it was so sudden that it caused huge chaos. The sea formed by black soul sand turned into great waves from the collision, and it made Son of Heaven Yin unable to mobilize the power of the sea.
1455
1456Tian Shu and King Yama's knife and sword caught Son of Heaven Yin. Soon, he was injured by both of their attacks.
1457
1458He was astonished and furious. The situation didn't look to be a coincidence, and instead, it looked like it was planned long ago.
1459
1460From his three disciples descending disaster and Saint Woodcutter and First Ancestor getting tricked, to Qin Mu suddenly transforming into Son of Youdu and Lou Yunqu having no choice but to open Mingdu Heavenly Gate—it was as if everyone had fallen into someone's plan.
1461
1462The goal of the person wasn't to stop a disaster from happening, and it also wasn't to break Lou Yunqu and the rest. His actual goal was him from the start!
1463
1464Small targets like Lou Yunqu were not even in their sights. Instead, they had their sight on an Emperor's Throne like him, so who was the daring person?
1465
1466Similarly, the person must have held a high position in the past. Only by standing high enough could he see far enough and place his target on someone like him.
1467
1468If it was other people like Qin Mu and Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor, their target would at most be Lou Yunqu to stop the calamity from happening.
1469
1470The person that had made the plan was different from the others. He was definitely someone with a high position in Founding Emperor Celestial Heavens, only then would he dare to put his sights on him!
1471
1472Whoever the person was, he was on the verge of being disclosed!
1473
1474Son of Heaven Yin was infuriated. "I'm being schemed against when I'm not scheming. This person could probably only be the woodcutter who is the head of the four great heavenly teachers in the fake dynasty! That's right. If I were him, I would definitely give no chances if I was scheming against an expert like me. I definitely wouldn't just mobilize King Yama and Tian Shu. If I wanted to fight, I would gather all of the experts that have a grudge with me. The one that hates me the most is Goddess of Heavenly Yin..."
1475
1476Just as he thought until there, the gods of Mingdu flew over and came to assist. Son of Heaven Yin's blood ran cold, and he waved to chase them away. "Don't come over—"
1477
1478The space in Mingdu suddenly split open, and Goddess of Heavenly Yin's figure appeared in the other world. She smiled as she looked at Son of Heaven Yin.
1479
1480Son of Heaven Yin's heart sunk. "I've been hunting geese for years on end to get blinded by the peck of a sparrow..."
1481
1482Goddess of Heavenly Yin held onto an hourglass, and it was none other than the Celestial Dipper that Son of Heaven Yin had made. She cast her spell, and the sea of the underworld suddenly churned as it hung over their heads. With the sea above and the people below, it crashed down on everyone!
1483
1484Son of Heaven Yin was naturally not afraid of it, but the gods of Mingdu couldn't defend against it!
1485
1486Son of Heaven Yin's expression turned black. Celestial Dipper was a treasure he had made to control the black soul sand and starved ghosts in Heavenly Yin World, never would he expect the treasure to be used against him!
1487
1488"Son of Heaven Yin, is this revenge sweet?"
1489
1490Goddess of Heavenly Yin's laughter rang out, and the sea of the underworld crashed down, squashing countless gods under the sea. The impact from the black soul sand shattered numerous primordial spirits of gods!
1491
1492The skeletons had varying abilities, and some devil gods were strong, so they didn't die from the impact. However, their primordial spirits suffered heavy injuries.
1493
1494Goddess of Heavenly Yin revealed a smile and flipped the Celestial Dipper once again. The sea rose into the sky and crashed down once more.
1495
1496It was like she was playing with a small toy as she flipped the Celestial Dipper over and over again. The sea crashed down over and over, smashing countless skeletal devil gods into smithereens. Their primordial spirits shattered into sand!
1497
1498Son of Heaven Yin was truly angered. He had never been so angry before. His life had always been smooth-sailing since he was young and never before had he suffered such humiliation and such a huge loss!
1499
1500Tian Shu and King Yama worked together and attacked him furiously. His mind was in a mess, and so more and more wounds appeared on his body. Right at that moment, a gate rose up from the sea and stood on the surface of the sea.
1501
1502Mingdu Heavenly Gate.
1503
1504The gate wasn't a divine art; it was the true Mingdu Heavenly Gate.
1505
1506There were many people among the Mingdu's disciples that had cultivated the divine art of Mingdu Heavenly Gate. However, their divine art were all transformed from that gate.
1507
1508Meanwhile, the gate had come from Youdu's Gate of Heaven Influence. In some paths, skills, and marvels, Gate of Heaven Influence was inferior to Mingdu Heavenly Gate. For example, the power of reincarnation that that gate had was something that Gate of Heaven Influence could never reach.
1509
1510Thus, the door was also ranked into the four great heavenly gates. It was referred to as Northern Heavenly Gate.
1511
1512"Heavenly Yin, do you think I will be scared of the few of you?"
1513
1514Son of Heaven Yin smiled from anger. Suppressing the sea with Mingdu Heavenly Gate, the waves instantly calmed down, and even when Goddess of Heavenly Yin executed the Celestial Dipper, she couldn't move the sea at all. "It's time for you guys to witness the power of an Emperor's Throne!"
1515
1516In Qin word land, Heaven Duke and Crimson Emperor looked at the outside world through Qin Mu's third eye by taking turns. From Tian Shu's arrival to Fengdu's collision where King Yama attacked Son of Heaven Yin with his sword and to Goddess of Heavenly Yin suppressing tens of thousands of devils gods with the Celestial Dipper, the sights made Crimson Emperor and Heaven Duke's expression change quickly, and they clapped their hands in amazement.
1517
1518"Could Qin Mu have already contacted Woodcutter and the rest to act out out a show?"
1519
1520Crimson Emperor said with a smile, "Isn't this timing too much of a coincidence? Tian Shu who's as fierce as a tiger after drinking, King Yama of Fengdu, and also Goddess of Heavenly Yin who revived not long ago. Stringing all of these powers together, this is clearly a long prepared set-up! With Qin Mu, this Son of Youdu as a bait, Son of Heaven Yin was bound to be hooked!"
1521
1522Heaven Duke said with a smile, "It was definitely prepared long ago, this battle is truly refreshing! Qin Mu even acted so real that I couldn't even see a single flaw."
1523
1524Crimson Emperor said with a smile, "I also couldn't see any flaw. I still thought the devil nature was controlling him just now and purposely wanted to start a massacre by swallowing the primordial spirits of the skeletal devil gods. Who would have thought he could use his third eye to disrupt Son of Heaven Yin's primordial spirit and allow Tian Shu to succeed in his surprise attack. He must have been part of the surprise attack! When he acted as if the devil nature controlled him, that was truly scary."
1525
1526Heaven Duke let out a sigh of relief and smiled. "Since he can control the Youdu devil nature, I'm at ease. What is he doing now?"
1527
1528The two of them looked through Qin Mu's third eye, and they could roughly see the back of a head.
1529
1530"This is…"
1531
1532Heaven Duke and Crimson Emperor were slightly puzzled. They suddenly came to a realization. "This brat is gnawing on the head of the disaster god!"
1533
1534Right at that moment, Qin Mu laid on the back of disaster god and opened up his mouth in excitement. He gnawed on the head of the disaster, and his throat gave off growling sounds.
1535
1536The disaster god's head was bloody from his bites.
1537
1538Heaven Duke and Crimson Emperor looked at each other and said in unison, "The devil has really possessed this brat, he's not acting!"

1543
1544
1545
1546The disaster god gave off several furious roars as he tried to break free from Qin Mu. However, Qin Mu clung to his back like glue and continued to gnaw on his head.
1547
1548Kacha!
1549
1550The Five Thunder Pot flew over, and the five great thunderclouds surrounded Qin Mu to strike him randomly. The fire bell divine weapons in the thunderclouds burst forth, and rumblings of thunder bombarded Qin Mu as well. Only then was Qin Mu finally blown away.
1551
1552The disaster god reorganized himself and attacked Qin Mu once more. Suddenly, teleportation runes surrounded Qin Mu and he vanished. He reappeared on the back of the disaster god and continued to gnaw his head.
1553
1554Heaven Duke and Crimson Emperor looked at each other in dismay. They were out of ideas.
1555
1556In Mingdu, Mingdu Heavenly Gate was suppressing the sea while two Son of Heaven Yin were standing between the gate. They were currently blocking against the attacks of Tian Shu, King Yama, and Goddess of Heavenly Yin at the same time.
1557
1558Once the Mingdu Heavenly Gate was out, as long as he stood under it, his body was undying. Any injuries that Tian Shu, King Yama, and Goddess of Heavenly Yin had caused him would immediately heal after a little power of reincarnation. He was always situated in his peak performance!
1559
1560King Yama, Tian Shu, and Goddess of Heavenly Yin were more and more astonished. Son of Heaven Yin was literally unbeatable in that state, and unless they could kill him with one strike, they couldn't do anything to him.
1561
1562Mingdu Heavenly Gate was a treasure that Son of Heaven Yin made. The kind of divine art and method was as expected of an Emperor's Throne. He was no doubt a person worthy of being Mingdu Black Deity.
1563
1564And at that moment, in the land of Mingdu in an underworld prison, countless primordial spirits that were suppressed there also felt the terrifying shockwaves and tremors. The prisoners woke up and were bewildered.
1565
1566"The best way to infiltrate an enemy base if to let the enemy invite you over." Saint Woodcutter's primordial spirit said as he opened his eyes.
1567
1568The Life and Death Book summoned his soul, and it was sent into the underworld for suppression. The four walls of the cage were designed to target the primordial spirit and runes to lock the primordial spirit filled the surroundings. Furthermore, chains passed through his body to prevent him from using his divine arts.
1569
1570Woodcutter examined the runes, and after a moment, his gaze landed on the chain that was binding him. Very quickly, he managed to comprehend all of the logic contained in the seals.
1571
1572Whoosh.
1573
1574The chains moved like huge snakes to pull themselves out from his body one after another. Woodcutter floated to the ground and walked towards the door of the cage.
1575
1576The door creaked and opened.
1577
1578He had solved the method to break out of the underworld prison in an instant. He could enter and leave the place at will.
1579
1580Saint Woodcutter left and went to the side of another cage while walking right in the face of a guard. With a wave of his hand, the cage opened up, and the chains that held First Ancestor Human Emperor fell to the ground.
1581
1582First Ancestor Human Emperor jumped out from the prison and pounced right at the guard. He broke open the other cages to release Fu Riluo, Elder Angler, Chi Xi, and the rest.
1583
1584"Gentlemen, let's break open this prison and release all of the prisoners, the bigger the chaos we can cause in Mingdu the better it will be!"
1585
1586Saint Woodcutter's expression was calm as he said, "The more chaotic Mingdu is, the safer Eternal Peace will be. It's best if it can continue to be chaotic for dozens to hundreds of years. In that way, Eternal Pace will be safe for dozens to hundreds of years!"
1587
1588Everyone nodded their heads and broke through everything in their way. They killed the guards that came rushing and released all of the prisoners.
1589
1590The underground prison was the most tightly guarded prison in Mingdu and gods that were disrespectful to the celestial heavens were all imprisoned there. Those gods had their corporeal bodies stripped off, and their primordial spirits were all trapped there to suffer.
1591
1592There were many guards in the underworld as it was a place that imprisoned dangerous people. However, the people they met were ruthless characters like Elder Angler, Chi Xi, and Fu Riluo. They attacked with fatal blows without explanation.
1593
1594Elder Angler threw out his hook and hooked out a soul. Every hook was accurate. Chi Xi had three heads and six arms while Fu Riluo's technique was even more astonishing. The three of them turned the underworld prison upside down, and if there was a person they couldn't deal with, there was still First Ancestor Human Emperor.
1595
1596Ever since First Ancestor Human Emperor had walked out of the cage in his frame of mind, his cultivation was becoming stronger and stronger. He has the momentum of breaking through God Execution Stage and into Jade Capital.
1597
1598Everyone barged down the underworld prison that has many levels that went down deep into the underground of Mingdu. The deeper they went down, the stronger the guards became.
1599
1600When they arrived at the bottom level, everyone was tired. Luckily for them, they released a lot of prisoners, which attracted the attention of most of the guards and split their pressure.
1601
1602"It's right here!"
1603
1604Saint Woodcutter looked around the dim place, which looked sinister. Numerous monsters like lizards crawled on the wall. They were fast and huge.
1605
1606"That person should be suppressed here."
1607
1608Everyone looked around. There were many cells there, but every cell had a door forged with divine metal. All kinds of imperial edicts covered the doors. The seal in every imperial edict was very terrifying, but they didn't know who had left them.
1609
1610Fu Riluo asked with a heavy voice, "Who is the one we're rescuing? Dao brother can tell us now, right?"
1611
1612Saint Woodcutter walked forward and examined the imperial edicts on the cells. He differentiated the different kinds of seals and planned to use them to deduce who was trapped in which cell. He said calmly, "This person is the first heavenly king of Founding Emperor Era. There are a total of thirty-six celestial palaces in the celestial heavens of Founding Emperor Era. Among the thirty-six, four heavenly kings controlled the most esteemed four great celestial palaces. Among these four heavenly kings, Green Emperor of the East is the oldest, Sakra of the West is the youngest, Mingdu Heavenly King of the North is the bravest after drinking, and the strongest one is this Heavenly King of the South."
1613
1614First Ancestor Human Emperor's heart leaped, and he said with a heavy tone, "Sakra is the name of buddha, and he's originally a god that was skilled at Heavenly Works. This Heavenly King of the South has a Di in the name, but it isn't a name of buddha nor is it a surname."
1615
1616Saint Woodcutter carefully differentiated the imperial edicts and said, "Your Highness is right. The Di in Heavenly King of the South's name is a title, her abilities even surpassed Green Emperor, and in Founding Emperor Era, she had the rights to fight with Founding Emperor over the position of the emperor. Even though she lost under Founding Emperor's hands, everyone honored her as Di."
1617
1618First Ancestor Human Emperor was silent for a moment. "Di Yiyue of the Four Great Heavenly Kings, rumors said she had died before the calamity erupted."
1619
1620"I've originally thought she had died in battle too, but she didn't."
1621
1622Saint Woodcutter stopped in front of a prison and examined the imperial edicts. "My big disciple once passed me some geographical maps through my second disciple and among one of the maps was a geographical map of the underworld prison. Marked on it is the deepest part of the underworld prison."
1623
1624His face dimmed. To find the path of the saint, Founding Master of Heavenly Saint Cult did many things even Saint Woodcutter didn't dare to think and dare to do.
1625
1626Yet that big disciple of his had vanished without a trace. He didn't know if he was dead or alive.
1627
1628"He must have been to Mingdu before therefore, he wanted to pass a message to me. On the geographical map that Qin Mu marked, there is a small rune that's left behind by my big disciple; this rune is a divine art marking that Di Yiyue frequently uses."
1629
1630When he spoke until there, he became silent. He was very worried about Founding Master's situation.
1631
1632Elder Angler praised, "Your big disciple is truly remarkable, to be able to barge into this place without anyone knowing and finding the location of Di Yiyue. Your other two disciples are extraordinary as well. I've seen Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor before, his talent is unmatched and even surpasses you back hen. It's just your second disciple is a little mischievous. But come to mention it, is it good for you to hide this operation from your second disciple and use him as bait?"
1633
1634The corners of Saint Woodcutter's eyes twitched, and he examined the imperial edicts on the prison doors carefully. "He has a huge monster in the heart of his brows; he can't die. It's good if he suffers a little, he's still too young and too naive."
1635
1636"Naive?" Fu Riluo and Chi Xi grunted. Both of them had suffered greatly in Qin Mu's hands.
1637
1638First Ancestor tried to imagine Qin Mu's naive look and his expression wasn't good either.
1639
1640Saint Woodcutter looked at the imperial edict on the door, and his vital qi flowed to transform into runes. The runes lighted up and shone on the imperial edict one after another.
1641
1642Every time it shone, a seal in the imperial edict would be opened up. His speed grew extremely fast and transformed into countless vital qi runes. Layers of seals in the imperial edict opened up.
1643
1644After a long moment, Saint Woodcutter raised his palm and gently peeled off the imperial edict.
1645
1646Everyone praised his methods, but they weren't too surprised. As the woodcutter who was the head of the four great heavenly teachers, Woodcutter was known for his knowledge. There was almost no seal in the world he couldn't break open!
1647
1648The door to the prison creaked open, and the sound was very piercing to the ear. Cold wind blew in his face and flapped everyone's clothing. Soon, their hair and brows were all covered in frost.
1649
1650"Romantic passions since ancient time always leave empty regrets; this long-lasting hate knows no end. How could one free oneself with a smile? Like a poor willow floating with nowhere to call home."
1651
1652A sigh of grief came from the prison and chilled their hearts. Fu Riluo asked in astonishment, "This famous Heavenly King Di Yiyue is a woman?"
1653
1654Saint Woodcutter nodded his head and took a step in.
1655
1656It was an ice chamber that was terrifyingly cold. Nine ice dragons surrounded the ice chamber as they hung upside down with their heads facing down. Where their head surrounded was an ice coffin and in the coffin laid a woman with an unmatched beauty. She wore black clothes, yet she had a phoenix crown and a cloak as well. She laid in the transparent coffin silently.
1657
1658Her skin was whiter than snow, and it looked even fairer in contrast to the black clothes.
1659
1660She laid in the ice coffin as though she was floating among clouds. She looked so silent and mysterious.
1661
1662Those nine ice dragons were spewing cold ice breath and seemed to be trying to freeze the female corpse in the coffin.
1663
1664Yet the corpse bride in the coffin had already awoken. She opened her eyes and gently raised a hand. Her jade-like finger bent upwards, and there was a gorgeous black ring on her finger which had sharp spikes on it.
1665
1666Pak, pak, pak.
1667
1668The ice dragon suddenly shattered, and only one last ice dragon was left. The ice dragon revealed a look of terror as it shrunk and coiled up.
1669
1670Saint Woodcutter walked forward and held the hand of the female corpses. The corpse bride slowly floated up and landed on the ground, her eyes filled with exhaustion.
1671
1672"May Heavenly King of the South return to your position!" Saint Woodcutter said solemnly.
1673
1674Di Yiyue said sorrowfully, "So what if I return to my position? I'm already dead."
1675
1676Only then did everyone noticed a hole that had the width of a finger on her forehead. They didn't know what had injured her, but they could see the wall behind her through the hole.
1677
1678Even though she was wearing black, her clothes had the style and design of a wedding dress. She still had a phoenix crown and a cloak around her body. On the crown was a violet red veil which had been parted to reveal her beautiful facial features.
1679
1680She must have been sitting quietly on the bed during her wedding night, feeling anxious and happy when her veil was opened. That was when someone had given her a fatal blow.
1681
1682The only one who could get close to the number one heavenly king would only be her one true love, her bridegroom.
1683
1684It was her bridegroom who had pierced her to death when parting her veil.
1685
1686"Back then, Founding Emperor had prepared to invite Heavenly King back to fight the disaster, how could we expect to hear news of your death after you had just gotten married. The calamity erupted, and countless lives were lost."
1687
1688Saint Woodcutter said, "Back then, Heavenly King sought to learn from everywhere, and you have followed the four deities to cultivate so you could deal with the natural disasters. Now another calamity is incoming, Heavenly King has missed it once, and you can't miss it a second time. As for your death, my little disciple has already settled it, and you can be revived."
1689
1690Di Yiyue muttered, "I can be revived?"
1691
1692She turned her head to look at that ice dragon shivering in the corner.
1693
1694That ice dragon shivered and pleaded with a trembling voice, "Empress, forgive me! We are also heeding orders; we have no choice but to free Empress's body and primordial spirit..."
1695
1696"Empress?"
1697
1698Di Yiyue's expression turned cold. "You call me empress? When have I, Di Yiyue, relied on a man? Even Heavenly Teacher doesn't dare to call me Empress and calls me Heavenly King. You dare to call me empress? Call me Di Yiyue!"
1699
1700The ice dragon hesitated and said carefully, "Di Yiyue..."
1701
1702Pak!
1703
1704He suddenly exploded and turned into ice shards. Even his primordial spirit couldn't shatter anymore.
1705
1706"How dare you call me by my name. You deserve to die for being disrespectful to me!"
1707
1708Di Yiyue turned around and said with a smile, "Let us go, let us meet that bridegroom of mine. I have not seen the heartless rat for twenty thousand years; he never once visited me after I died. How I wish to make a bloody wound like this in the heart of his brows too..."

1713
1714
1715
1716In the underworld sea of Mingdu, when Son of Heaven Yin stood under the Mingdu Heavenly Gate—no matter if the attacks were from Goddess of Heavenly Yin, the Imperial Gate Divine Knife in Tian Shu's hand, or even from the power King Yama borrowed from Fengdu—he couldn't be injured at all.
1717
1718Emperor's Throne was simply too powerful.
1719
1720Goddess of Heavenly Yin who had revived learned the three hundred and twenty-four runes of Heavenly Yin World from Saint Woodcutter, and the divine art system of Heavenly Yin World was more or less determined. The power of Goddess of Heavenly Yin's divine arts was also rising in a straight line. Adding the fact that she was a natural born sacred god, her battle power surpassed even Tian Shu and King Yama.
1721
1722It was because she couldn't enter Mingdu that she couldn't cause fatal injuries to Son of Heaven Yin.
1723
1724Tian Shu's abilities were also extremely strong. The Imperial Gate Divine Knife was a divine knife specially targeted at the system of Youdu divine art; therefore, it was able to sever Earth Count's horn. It was a pity there was a slight flaw in its making.
1725
1726And Son of Heaven Yin was incomparably intelligent. He had already used his divine art to break the effect of the divine knife absorbing primordial spirit through the flaw, so Tian Shu could only rely on the power of the divine knife to injure Son of Heaven Yin. He couldn't take his life.
1727
1728King Yama had gathered the power of Fengdu and all its gods so he could fight him. However, due to the difference in realm, he could only injure Son of Heaven Yin as well.
1729
1730Also, with Mingdu Heavenly Gate, Son of Heaven Yin could heal any injuries as long as they didn't take his life.
1731
1732His Mingdu Heavenly Gate had the miraculous effect of going through reincarnations, and as a strong practitioner on Emperor's Throne, even if his paths, skills, and divine arts had originated from Youdu, he had built a completely different system on the foundation of Youdu and even surpassed it!
1733
1734The three of them were stuck in a deadlock, and the wounds on Tian Shu and King Yama gradually grew. Their advantage was slowly turning into a disadvantage, and if the situation continued, it would be hard for them to escape.
1735
1736Suddenly, Mingdu was in chaos as countless primordial spirits of prisoners held in the underworld prison rushed out to start a massacre. Son of Heaven Yin was astonished. 'This is bad! Quite a number of prisoners held in the underworld have a huge backing...'
1737
1738When he thought until there, his mind couldn't help turning into a mess.
1739
1740"The shyness of the daytime is covered by a silken sleeve; the melancholy of springtime makes it hard to rise and dress. A priceless gem is more easily found than a man who has a heart."
1741
1742The clear voice of a woman came from the directions of the underworld prison, and it was clear when it reached the sky above the underworld sea. Grievances could be heard from the voice, and it seemed to be grieving that there were no men that were affectionate and true. There were no more men that pleased her, and she no longer had the mood to dress and groom herself.
1743
1744Son of Heaven Yin's mind was flustered, and he suffered numerous attacks in a row, causing his flesh to split open. Luckily, there was Mingdu Heavenly Gate and his injuries healed quickly.
1745
1746Suddenly, a violent red veil flew over and floated in the sky above Mingdu Heavenly Gate. The veil was huge and covered the heavenly gate.
1747
1748When Son of Heaven Yin saw the phoenixes embroidered on the veil with golden thread, his mind was even more flustered. Under the veil, the attacks of King Yama and Tian Shu became pressing, and they finally got the upper hand. Son of Heaven Yin suffered heavy injuries again and again.
1749
1750Son of Heaven Yin stabilized his mind and was ready to attack back when a phoenix crown flew over to land on his hand.
1751
1752Son of Heaven Yin's scalp crawled, and he was helpless. Another red cloak flew over and latched onto his shoulders.
1753
1754When Son of Heaven Yin covered his face and cried out, his legs were severed by Tian Shu while King Yama took the chance to stab his heart.
1755
1756Son of Heaven Yin's legs sprinted into Mingdu Heavenly Gate, and the upper half of his body also rushed into the gate. Three Son of Heaven Yin came out from the other side of the gate and tried to flee.
1757
1758Goddess of Heavenly Yin's attacks arrived right after, and the three Son of Heaven Yin vomited out blood as they fell and vanished into the underworld sea.
1759
1760Mingdu Heavenly Gate flew up and was about to sink into the underworld sea with him when suddenly, Di Yiyue in black brought Saint Woodcutter, First Ancestor Human Emperor, and the rest. She pressed her palm on Mingdu Heavenly Gate.
1761
1762The gate trembled violently and tried to escape several times but to no avail.
1763
1764Mingdu Heavenly Gate became smaller and smaller until it became three yards tall. It no longer trembled.
1765
1766On the other side, Goddess of Heavenly Yin turned the celestial dipper and made the sea float as she tried to force Son of Heaven Yin out. Saint Woodcutter bowed and said, "Goddess, no need for that, he has already suffered severe injuries, he wouldn't have stayed in the sea. He escaped long ago. We shouldn't stay here any longer, with such a huge ruckus, the extraterritorial celestial heavens will definitely send people to come to take a look. If that happens, we won't be able to leave."
1767
1768Tian Shu rose into the sky and used the Imperial Gate Divine Knife to split the world barrier of Mingdu to escape through the sky.
1769
1770Saint Woodcutter looked at Goddess of Heavenly Yin and said, "If the extraterritorial celestial heavens investigate this, Eternal Peace might be implicated. We will still need Goddess to bear the responsibility."
1771
1772Goddess of Heavenly Yin said with a smile, "My surprise attack on Mingdu is to take revenge for myself, and I have good reason to do this so I can bear the responsibility. With Earth Count speaking out for me, the celestial heavens will probably not pursue this incident. Son of Heaven Yin can only suffer in silence. However, by inviting me to make a move, it already used up one Heavenly Yin Pearl. To make me bear responsibility, I will still need another Heavenly Yin Pearl."
1773
1774First Ancestor Human Emperor took out one divine pearl and Goddess of Heavenly Yin nodded her head. The divine knife floated up and flew into Heavenly Yin World.
1775
1776Goddess of Heavenly Yin faded away.
1777
1778Di Yiyue lifted up Mingdu Heavenly Gate and said, "I've helped him create this treasure, and I know all uses of the heavenly gate, it's a pity things have remained the same but people have changed. Big Heavenly Teacher, how are we returning to the world of the living?"
1779
1780Woodcutter said, "Heavenly King may be dead, but your body still exists. It's hard for you to return to Eternal Peace through the world barrier. However, we can return to Eternal Peace through King Yama's Fengdu and return to the Great Ruins. We can then return to Eternal Peace from the Great Ruins."
1781
1782King Yama bowed and greeted, "King Yama pays my respect to senior uncle."
1783
1784Di Yiyue's gaze landed on him, and she said in astonishment, "You are the adopted son of His Majesty? Back then you were still an honest looking boy, but after not seeing you for so many years, you have already become a ruler of a world!"
1785
1786King Yama hung his head down.
1787
1788Di Yiyue walked into Fengdu and examining the living realm of the dead. She said with a smile, "Fengdu is the horn of Earth Count, it's a pity that your comprehension to the paths, skills, and divine arts of Youdu is not as dense as that heartless rat. There's still a distance to Fengdu, Heavenly King of the North and I can help you, why did Heavenly King of the North run so fast away?"
1789
1790First Ancestor Human Emperor said, "He has probably woken up from his drunk state. After he sobered up and recalled how he had fought with Son of Heaven Yin, he's most probably hiding somewhere and shivering with excitement."
1791
1792Di Yiyue gave it some thought and said with a smile, "That's him. However, instead of shivering in excitement, he's probably shivering with lingering fear. When I revive, he and I will rebuild Fengdu for you."
1793
1794Fengdu drove into the darkness and vanished without a trace.
1795
1796Mingdu and Fengdu were both forged with the horn of Earth Count, and they were part of Youdu; thus, the world barrier didn't exist.
1797
1798"Big Heavenly Teacher, I've heard you talk about a second calamity incoming, is Founding Emperor Era still not wiped out?"
1799
1800Di Yiyue sat down in the second divine city of Fengdu. King Yama, First Ancestor, and Woodcutter accompanied her, and the strange woman that had a legendary beauty asked, "Is the extraterritorial celestial heavens wanting to wipe Founding Emperor Era out a second time?"
1801
1802Saint Woodcutter's face was dim, and he shook his head. "Founding Emperor Era is already wiped out, and now it's Eternal Peace Era which is built upon our ruins. The disasters this time are targeted at Eternal Peace. Back then, didn't Heavenly King cultivate alongside the four deities of the four directions to deal with the natural disasters? Because the disasters are about to erupt in Eternal Peace this time, I thought of inviting you to come out. The person to deal with these natural disasters is none other than you."
1803
1804Di Yiyue's expression turned cold, and she said indifferently, "Why should I help Eternal Peace deal with the natural disasters? I am indebted to Founding Emperor, I was smitten by love and I couldn't help Founding Emperor defend the natural disasters, but what has Eternal Peace got to do with me?"
1805
1806Saint Woodcutter was silent for a moment. "The pillars of Eternal Peace's reform this time are two of my disciples. The third disciple, Jiang Baigui of River Tomb, the imperial preceptor of Eternal Peace."
1807
1808Di Yiyue shook her head. "Your face isn't that big and much less your disciple's face."
1809
1810Saint Woodcutter said, "My second disciple's surname is Qin, he's the hundredth and seventh descendant of Founding Emperor, who is also one of the pillars in Eternal Peace's reform this time."
1811
1812Di Yiyue's charming face only softened that time, and she nodded her head slowly. "He's a descendant of Founding Emperor, in that case, blocking down these disasters can also be considered returning Founding Emperor a favor. He is the emperor of Eternal Peace?"
1813
1814Saint Woodcutter hesitated and shook his head. "No. He is the palace grandee of Eternal Peace Emperor, and he is also the grand chancellor of Heavenly Saint Academy."
1815
1816Di Yiyue's expression turned cold once again, and she sneered. "How could a descendant of Founding Emperor be a subject of another person? Your second disciple can't be the emperor, but what about the other descendants of Founding Emperor? Where are they? Where is Founding Emperor? I'm waiting for the people of Founding Emperor; I won't let other people benefit from him!"
1817
1818"Founding Emperor..."
1819
1820Saint Woodcutter's expression dim, and he shook his head. "Founding Emperor is hiding in Carefree Village. He has not shown himself for twenty thousand years already."
1821
1822Di Yiyue was furious and slapped the table. "I've long said that that bad man with the surname Qin wasn't fit to be Founding Emperor, let the seat out, I'll do it! This guy, running to Carefree Village to live carefreely and throwing the wreck to everyone, making all of them fight for him, how shameless! Even so, it's impossible for me to help that emperor of Eternal Peace to block the disaster!"
1823
1824"The one to be emperor isn't the one with the strongest ability and power; it's the one with the greatest boldness and widest breadth of mind."
1825
1826Woodcutter said, "The Emperor of Eternal Peace is such a person. He has a breadth of mind and judgment that not even Founding Emperor possess. In terms of abilities, you aren't inferior to Founding Emperor, but if you are to be Founding Emperor, do you think you can do better?"
1827
1828Di Yiyue was silent for a moment, and she shook her head. "When Founding Emperor Celestial Heavens was at its most crucial point in time, I was smitten by love and ran to get married. In the end, I got assassinated. I'm not suitable to be Founding Emperor. Oh well, I owe you much so I will be flexible. I need to meet your disciples and Eternal Peace Emperor before making a decision. If they are to my liking, I'll help, if not I'll turn and leave. I rather hide in Fengdu and be a female ghost. If I can't, I can also make a living under Earth Count."
1829
1830Saint Woodcutter revealed a smile, and he was very happy. "If you meet my second disciple, you would be gratified; you will be happy that Founding Emperor has such an outstanding descendant!"
1831
1832Fengdu returned to the Great Ruins and overlapped with the Great Ruins.
1833
1834The sky was bright.
1835
1836Saint Woodcutter, Fu Riluo, First Ancestor, and the rest bade farewell to King Yama and immediately returned into their own corporeal bodies.
1837
1838Di Yiyue followed their primordial spirits back to Surging River Academy in Lizhou. Saint Woodcutter's corporeal body immediately woke up from a state of death and he flipped up. With a smile, he said, "My disciple is right in the vicinity, let me bring you to meet him! You will definitely like him when you meet him!"
1839
1840First Ancestor, Chi Xi, Fu Riluo, and the rest also woke up one after another. As they were talking, loud rumbles came from the directions of Surging River as lightning struck non-stop.
1841
1842Everyone looked towards the source of the sound, and they saw the five great thunderclouds forming a thick thundercloud which surrounding Surging River to strike furiously at a certain place.
1843
1844Di Yiyue looked over and saw a disaster god attacking in all directions frantically while a youth laid out on his back and gnawed on the back of his head. The youth just let the five great thunderclouds strike him however they liked, and he could never be blown off.
1845
1846Di Yiyue was in doubt as she took a glance at Woodcutter. She asked, "That's the descendant of Founding Emperor, your second disciple?"
1847
1848Saint Woodcutter's expression didn't change, and he just shook his head. "Nope, I don't recognize this young talent. Heavenly King, let us go to Eternal Peace Capital City and meet Emperor Yanfeng first."

1853
1854
1855
1856Di Yiyue sneered and said, "Look at his appearance, he looks somewhat similar to Founding Emperor. He should be the descendant of Founding Emperor, right? You still deny he is your disciple? Big Heavenly Teacher, don't lie to me!"
1857
1858Saint Woodcutter's face turned red. "That's right; he is my second disciple. However, that's just an honorary title, and I didn't teach him anything."
1859
1860Suddenly, the power of the Five Thunder Pot burst forth to blow Qin Mu away yet runes swirled around Qin Mu to teleport him back in an instant. He still laid on the back of the disaster god to hug the head on the disaster god to gnaw on. He was fast and ruthless.
1861
1862"Teleportation divine art, that's a divine art that you founded." Di Yiyue was even more suspicious and sneered.
1863
1864Saint Woodcutter was ashamed and speechless.
1865
1866Suddenly, the disaster god in the sky above Surging River noticed that side, and the disaster god who didn't care about anyone was astonished. He completely forgot about getting Qin Mu down and hurriedly bowed. "Big senior sister!"
1867
1868Di Yiyue nodded her head and said, "You are the disciple of North Deity? You still recognize me as your big senior sister?"
1869
1870The disaster god's head was full of blood, and he stood there helplessly. "I met big senior sister once, but big senior sister held a high position, so you probably didn't notice me. I've come to descend a calamity on order, may big senior sister pardon me..."
1871
1872Di Yiyue said indifferently, "Leave a little something behind and go back; I'm here so you can't descend any calamity. Leave something behind so you can go back to explain yourself. Tell master that I'm here, either he can send you guys to death, or he can come personally."
1873
1874The expression of that disaster changed drastically. He gritted his teeth and severed his left arm. He descended from the sky and placed his arm respectfully in front of Di Yiyue. He moved back three steps, and his primordial spirit left his body. His body turned back into a stone statue.
1875
1876Qin Mu chewed twice on the head of the stone statue and his teeth almost shattered. He could only give up and slip down from the stone statue. Looking around, his eyes glinted with malice as though he was a fierce beast choosing his prey.
1877
1878The stone statue gradually sunk into the ground and vanished without a trace. The Five Thunder Pot also swirled furiously to swallow the thunderclouds in the sky back into the pot and vanished right afterward.
1879
1880"This big beauty is the most delicious!"
1881
1882Qin Mu pounced over excitedly at Di Yiyue. Saint Woodcutter was ashamed and unable to show his old face. How he wished he could make a coffin and bury himself underground at that very instant.
1883
1884Di Yiyue's right hand formed a mudra, and her fingers moved quickly. Her hand was like a lotus flower which gently tapped on the heart of Qin Mu's brows. The devil nature in Qin Mu's body instantly vanished, and the Youdu devil qi flooded furiously back into the Qin word land in the heart of his brows.
1885
1886The mudra of Di Yiyue rushed over with the Youdu devil qi and devil nature into Big Baby Qin Fengqing's body. The seal of Mingdu Jade Mirror was instantly broken.
1887
1888Heaven Duke and Crimson Emperor were astonished and cried out in unison, "This girl's abilities aren't bad! It's a pity she's dead."
1889
1890Di Yiyue cried with astonishment and was bewildered. The magic power in her mudra instantly vanished as though something had eaten it away.
1891
1892She couldn't see the sight inside Qin word land so she couldn't see Heaven Duke and Crimson Emperor.
1893
1894"The heart of your brows is strange; let me take a look inside your third eye!"
1895
1896She was about to fly into the heart of Qin Mu's brows when Saint Woodcutter, First Ancestor Human Emperor, Fu Riluo, and Chi Xi hurriedly stopped her. "You mustn't! Don't scout the heart of his brows; we have all suffered greatly before!"
1897
1898Saint Woodcutter said, "Even though I have never suffered before, I also know that that place is incomparably dangerous, and it's best that Heavenly King not try it!"
1899
1900Di Yiyue's gaze flickered, and she said with a smile, "It's really that dangerous? Even stronger than my abilities on Emperor's Throne? Oh well, my corporeal body is still dead, so I shall not take a look then."
1901
1902Qin Mu woke up and immediately pasted the willow leaf on the heart of his brows. He sighed in relief.
1903
1904"Teacher, First Ancestor, you guys have all came back to life?"
1905
1906He was surprised and delighted. When he saw Di Yiyue, he immediately tidied up his clothes and took out a mirror to groom himself before greeting. "Teacher, who is this fairy sister?"
1907
1908"Fairy sister?"
1909
1910Di Yiyue was overjoyed, and all her negative impressions of Qin Mu vanished without a trace. "Heavenly Teacher, your second disciple's judgment is not bad, he's much better than Founding Emperor and you, he is a talent! You were right to take in this disciple."
1911
1912Saint Woodcutter put his heart down and whispered to Qin Mu, "Wipe your mouth, there's still blood at the corners."
1913
1914"Blood at the corners of my mouth?"
1915
1916Qin Mu's heart was astonished. He hurriedly took out a small mirror and wiped away the bloodstains on the corner of his mouth. He then took out a strand of hair from the gap of his teeth and the youth was stunned. "I've vomited blood? And how come there's hair as well?"
1917
1918Di Yiyue said, "That's my junior brother's blood and hair, he is the disaster god whose head you have been hugging and gnawing on earlier."
1919
1920Qin Mu's face blushed.
1921
1922Di Yiyue said with a smile, "What a pure and innocent boy, there aren't many boys that know embarrassment. You are so shy; many girls must like you."
1923
1924Woodcutter, Fu Riluo, Chi Xi, and First Ancestor had weird expressions and coughed repeatedly. They didn't speak.
1925
1926Di Yiyue paid no attention and said with a smile, "Little brother... Aiya, I can't call you little brother. You are the disciple of Big Heavenly Teacher and also the descendant of Founding Emperor, if I call you little brother, won't my seniority be lower than them?"
1927
1928Qin Mu said, "Big sister, let us just make our own friends, wouldn't that be fine?"
1929
1930Di Yiyue's heart bloomed with joy, and she praised, "This is a good idea. From today onwards, we shall be brother and sister, but we shall have separate relationships with other people."
1931
1932Qin Mu examined Di Yiyue's forehead and saw a hole in her forehead which he could see through. He could even see the brain tissue.
1933
1934Furthermore, Di Yiyue's heart had also stopped, and her blood no longer flowed. It was obvious that she was a corpse!
1935
1936It was just her primordial spirit was too strong, so she could still control the body and make it seem like she was still living.
1937
1938"Sister's injury is very severe."
1939
1940Qin Mu said, "How did you suffer such a severe injury?"
1941
1942Di Yiyue replied sorrowfully, "I met the wrong person, sister married a heartless rat and got injured by him. This isn't an injury, how can a dead person be injured?"
1943
1944Qin Mu examined her injury in detail, and even when he was close, he couldn't hear Di Yiyue's breathing. Di Yiyue's wound still had some divine art remaining, and the power of the divine art was extremely strong, so he didn't dare to touch.
1945
1946"It's an injury; you can still be saved. Even though it's severe, it's not very serious."
1947
1948Qin Mu examined the wound and moved to the back of Di Yiyue's head and observed. He said, "It's just that this remnant left behind by the wound, I can't deal with it. Could sister clean up the wound?"
1949
1950Di Yiyue was astonished and executed her technique to remove the remnant of Son of Heaven Yin's divine art. She asked curiously, "I'm on Emperor's Throne Realm and you are only on Celestial Being Realm, what methods do you have to treat the injuries of an Emperor's Throne?"
1951
1952Qin Mu's body trembled, and he revealed a three-headed and six-armed form. Raising his hand, he severed his left head down from his neck with a sword light.
1953
1954Di Yiyue was shocked, and Qin Mu just smiled as he raised his left head. "Big sister, please take a look."
1955
1956His neck shook, and another head actually grew out!
1957
1958Di Yiyue stared with her eyes wide open and cried out, "There's actually such a technique?"
1959
1960She could see that Qin Mu had not only chopped off the head on his corporeal body, but he had also chopped off the head on his primordial spirit!
1961
1962After executing his technique, not only did Qin Mu grow a head on his corporeal body, he similarly grew a head on his primordial spirit!
1963
1964She had never heard of that kind of technique before.
1965
1966God Chi Xi snorted and felt pretty annoyed.
1967
1968What Qin Mu had executed was Light Emperor's Anasrava Creation Mysterious Technique and Crimson Emperor's Three Primordial Spirit Undying God Consciousness. By combining those two techniques perfectly, only then was he able to gain the effect of an undying corporeal body and an undying primordial spirit!
1969
1970An undying corporeal body was also what Crimson Light Son of God wished for, but never did he expect Qin Mu to accomplish it before Crimson Light Son of God.
1971
1972Of course, for Qin Mu to be able to achieve that step was something they couldn't be envious of.
1973
1974Crimson Light Son of God had taught Qin Mu's Light Emperor's Anasrava Creation Mysterious Technique, and in addition to Crimson Emperor's consciousness directly teaching Three Primordial Spirit Undying God Consciousness to him, it allowed Qin Mu to have the same attainments as Crimson Emperor did in Undying God Consciousness!
1975
1976With that kind of attainment, it would be much easier for Qin Mu to comprehend Anasrava Creation Mysterious Technique; therefore, Qin Mu's attainments in those two Emperor's Throne techniques surpassed Crimson Light Son of God. He had an advantage that couldn't be compared.
1977
1978Even if he had imparted Crimson Emperor's technique to Crimson Light Son of God, Crimson Light Son of God couldn't have attainments like Crimson Emperor, which was the reason why Crimson Light Son of God still couldn't attain an undying corporeal body and undying primordial spirit. On the contrary, the outsider Qin Mu had achieved it first instead.
1979
1980Saint Woodcutter revealed a smile. He knew Qin Mu's foundation, so he knew how terrifying Qin Mu's attainments in creation was.
1981
1982Qin Mu didn't even know how strong he was, but he knew it very clearly.
1983
1984Receiving inheritance of Crimson Emperor and Light Emperor, he could be said to be the strongest practitioner in the art of creation without a doubt!
1985
1986Qin Mu brought the two great Emperor's Throne techniques back from Crimson Light Floating World and passed them down to all academies in Eternal Peace.
1987
1988Tens of thousands of scholars of Eternal Peace studied the marvel diligently, and there was no lack of people with outstanding talent who could comprehend numerous bits and pieces of the two Emperor's Throne techniques.
1989
1990Other than Woodcutter, literally no one else knew that Qin Mu had long stepped on the summit of the mountains.
1991
1992Qin Mu scattered his three heads and six arms with a smile. "Big sister's injury may be hard to treat for other people, but to me, it isn't too hard. Does big sister have any research into the art of creation?"
1993
1994Di Yiyue shook her head and said, "Rough study but not many attainments, I'm inferior to Big Heavenly Teacher."
1995
1996The Big Heavenly Teacher that she said was Saint Woodcutter.
1997
1998Qin Mu walked here and there and said, "Big sister's corporeal body is already dead, and you have probably been dead for a very long time. However, it's preserved quite well and looks like it has just died. Yet the longer you walk on this world, the easier it will be for your body to decompose. If it really decomposes, you will be truly dead. In that case..."
1999
2000He raised his head to say with a smile, "Let me use creation technique to treat you! When you revive, you can slowly comprehend the art of creation."
2001
2002Di Yiyue was astonished and said, "You can really treat the corporeal body of a strong practitioner on Emperor's Throne? I'm on Emperor's Throne Realm!"
2003
2004Qin Mu was full of confidence. "Healers treat patients like their children..."
2005
2006"Pah, you just want to take advantage of big sister." Di Yiyue rolled her eyes at him, but she didn't look angry at all.
2007
2008Woodcutter, Fu Riluo, and the rest looked at one another in dismay.
2009
2010First Ancestor Human Emperor asked with a low voice, "Heavenly Teacher, did he learn how to coax girls from you?"
2011
2012Saint Woodcutter had a blank expression. "How would I know this? If I knew, would I be single until now? I'm ashamed to even say this, but I didn't even teach him a single divine art. He has other teachers..."
2013
2014On the observatory, the corpse of Apothecary had already turned stiff.

2021
2022Qin Mu calculated to see how he could design an accurate creation divine art to help him treat Di Yiyue injury and not harm her brain. Saint Woodcutter walked up to the observatory of Surging River Academy, and he prepared to cast his spell. He wanted to help the people of Lizhou get their souls back. "If we let the people of Lizhou have their souls gone for too long, it will harm their bodies. I should guide their souls and primordial spirits back."
2023
2024First Ancestor Human Emperor revealed an anxious look and warned, "If we seize souls from Youdu and return the dead back to life, we will have to lose our lifespan. Even though Heavenly Teacher is a god with endless lifespan, if you anger the messenger of death, he will lay his hands on you and take your soul away. If you can't escape this disaster, you will have to suffer down in Youdu, and your heavy crimes might even get you eaten by Earth Count. Even if you escape from this trouble, you will still have to suffer when you go down to Youdu after you die and get eaten by Earth Count. Lizhou is so huge; there are so many people, so your punishment will definitely be even more severe!"
2025
2026Saint Woodcutter said, "My plan was to use the lives of these people in Lizhou as bait to bait Lou Yunqu and the rest to come forward before using Qin Mu to lure out Son of Heaven Yin; as a result, I've caused these people to lose their lives. This is all on me, so how could I protect myself by not saving them? We will talk about the consequences after my death."
2027
2028He also had quite some study on Youdu language and Youdu spells. Soul Guide wasn't too difficult.
2029
2030Youdu language came from his mouth, and a gate slowly materialized from emptiness to reality. It gradually appeared.
2031
2032He didn't manage to create Gate of Heaven Influence like Qin Mu, and he also couldn't cultivate divine arts like God Execution Mysterious Gate. However, he had other methods and used runes to construct another gate that connected to Youdu.
2033
2034That kind of method was similar to the primitive Soul Guide and different from the Soul Guide that Qin Mu had improved. The Soul Guide improved by Qin Mu was extremely direct. Gate of Heaven Influence would appear straight after executing the spell, and he could easily summon the souls of the dead back from Youdu.
2035
2036Saint Woodcutter required more effort and more magic power to execute Soul Guide; however, the effect was almost the same.
2037
2038He stood on the observatory, and Youdu devil qi rolled out behind him. The darkness became thicker and thicker. It was daytime, and even if the sun was shining intensely, the sunlight couldn't shine through the invasion of the Youdi devil qi.
2039
2040In the devil qi, a gate stood upright, and souls continued to fly out before flying off in different directions. Once they found their own corporeal body, they would slip right in, and after a moment, the owner of the body would slowly wake up.
2041
2042Saint Woodcutter cast his spell to increase the area where Youdu devil qi was covering. The devil qi spread out in Surging River Academy and covered the Surging River before reaching Dyke River County. It then went from Dyke River County to the other few counties.
2043
2044From that gate, more and more souls flew out, and more and more people woke up. At that moment, a faint glow appeared in the darkness, and one small boat was floating over in the darkness. It floated over to the gate.
2045
2046"The messenger of death is here; he's probably here to detain my soul."
2047
2048Saint Woodcutter's heart felt sorrow, but his face was very calm. He thought to himself, 'As long as I don't implicate anyone else, that's good enough. To exchange my life for the lives of the people in Lizhou, it's worth it even if I die. Also, severely injuring Son of Heaven Yin, saving Di Yiyue, stopping the natural disaster from descending, everything is worth it. I have three disciples and they... are all very fine. Without me, they can still walk on.'
2049
2050The sorrow in his heart vanished, and he waited for his final fate.
2051
2052The small boat sailed to the gate in the darkness, and the elder on the boat rose. He took down the lantern and shone it at Saint Woodcutter.
2053
2054Saint Woodcutter's primordial spirit became unstable by the light from the lantern, but he was still chanting the Youdu language from his mouth. He didn't dare to slacken off and could only hope that he could summon the souls of all the people that had wrongly died in Lizhou before the messenger of death could make his move.
2055
2056The small boat sailed out of the gate, and Elder Messenger of Death walked in the world of the living from Youdu. Saint Woodcutter was astonished and temporarily stopped his spell. "Lord Official Sovereign of Youdu, could you give me some time and let me complete my wish?"
2057
2058Elder Messenger of Death was about to say something when Qin Mu suddenly popped his head into the door and got gladly surprised when he saw him. "So it's Official Sovereign!"
2059
2060Elder Messenger of Death's face turned black, and he said, "I thought it was you who was summoning the souls, so I planned to come here and take a look. In the end, it wasn't you, so I thought that the person who dared to summon the souls had quite the guts. There are quite a number of people summoning souls these two days, and Youdu is in chaos, Earth Count isn't happy!"
2061
2062Qin Mu said with a smile, "Official Sovereign, please pardon me; I was the one who had got them to summon the souls. Official Sovereign didn't do anything to them, right?"
2063
2064Elder Messenger of Death's face turned dark, and he snorted.
2065
2066Qin Mu hurriedly said, "The one summoning souls this time is my teacher, I'm currently too busy to summon the souls, so he's in charge of it. He doesn't know anything, so he's just messing around. Please forgive him if he alarmed Official Sovereign. Why don't I summon the souls personally?"
2067
2068Elder Messenger of Death was solemn for a moment, and his tone was stiff. "No need, even though the seal is very sturdy, we still have to proceed with caution. This is to prevent feeding your brother with the souls you summon."
2069
2070Qin Mu said with a smile, "Don't worry, Official Sovereign. The willow leaf on the heart of my brows is stuck there firmly and never taken down; my brother can't run out."
2071
2072Elder Messenger of Death was softened and instructed, "It's best if you never take it down. If you let your older brother out, Earth Count will still have to be the one to clean your ass. I won't be pursuing this incident of summoning the soul. Youdu has a rule that the first seven days of a dead person still doesn't consider one to be dead, and they can still come back to life. Therefore, it isn't Youdu that's afraid of you nor is it me that's giving you face, there's really such a rule. You have to be careful."
2073
2074Qin Mu acknowledged and said, "Take care."
2075
2076Elder Messenger of Death boarded the small boat to return to Youdu and vanished into the darkness.
2077
2078Qin Mu then scamped back and left the dumbfounded Saint Woodcutter hanging on the observatory. He didn't come back to his senses after a long time.
2079
2080"Dao brother, I really envy you having such an outstanding disciple, he is even so sought after in Youdu."
2081
2082Fu Riluo sighed ruefully and was full of envy. "How did you groom him to be so outstanding? Can you teach me as well?"
2083
2084God Chi Xi eavesdropped at the side and didn't dare to miss out a word.
2085
2086Saint Woodcutter opened his mouth. "I..." But he couldn't continue his sentence.
2087
2088'This guy, he has the reputation of a saint and yet he's still hiding secrets from us!' Chi Xi's felt his anger rising.
2089
2090He didn't have a good impression of Saint Woodcutter and it was even worse after that.
2091
2092Saint Woodcutter couldn't explain so he could only continue to summon the souls. He thought to himself heavily, 'What have I taught him before? How do I not know..."
2093
2094Qin Mu ran back to Di Yiyue's side, and she also looked curiously at him. She asked him quietly, "You know Benevolent Saintly King Equal to Heaven?"
2095
2096Qin Mu focused on designing the runes and didn't even raise his head. "I know him. We have come into contact a few times, and he is an old man that's very easy to talk to."
2097
2098Di Yiyue stared with her eyes wide open and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "He's easy to talk to? Do you know that Benevolent Saintly King Equal to Heaven is the number two person in Youdu, he's an existence that's merely below Earth Count? If he is easy to talk to, wouldn't those gods that he had killed and hooked their souls be crying their way back to life? As long as Youdu's rules are touched, he won't stop at anything even if it means destroying an entire world!"
2099
2100Qin Mu took out the creation runes he had designed and tested it. He shook his head and said, "It must be rumors. Official Sovereign is a good old man, and he never blew his temper. Big sister, stop moving, I'm going to cast a spell and treat your injury."
2101
2102Di Yiyue stood properly and stopped moving.
2103
2104Qin Mu wanted to make his move, but he felt inconvenient so he could only say, "Big sister, you are too tall, you should lie down so it will be easier for me."
2105
2106Di Yiyue laid down according to his words and floated in the sky. She was still five feet from the ground.
2107
2108Her beautiful hair flowed down like a waterfall and had a drape effect. The black clothes on her body also hung down like soft silk, and Qin Mu took a glance at her breasts that were still perky even when she was lying down. He exclaimed in admiration to himself, 'Big sister is really beautiful.'
2109
2110Even though the innocent youth also looked at the faces, because of the teachings from the elders ever since he was young, they were insistent that he should not only look at the face; he also had to look at the breasts.
2111
2112Girls with big breasts were the beautiful ones.
2113
2114He executed his spell after calming himself down. There were not many runes that were needed to repair the wound on Di Yiyue's head, and he just needed the creation runes from Three Primordial Spirit Undying God Consciousness and Anasrava Creation Mysterious Scripture that were targeted at the forehead and the brain. However, the most crucial points were still how to reconstruct and how not to let the other brain tissues grow.
2115
2116The reason why Qin Mu had to calculate so long was because of that.
2117
2118Other than that, he also needed to edit some creation runes and rearrange the structures. It was the first time for him, so he had to be careful.
2119
2120After all, the brain was a very fragile area. It wasn't good to have less, and it wasn't good to have more.
2121
2122Furthermore, Di Yiyue didn't just have a wound on her corporeal body, but she also had such a hole in her primordial spirit. The reason why Qin Mu has redesigned the runes was to treat the wound on her primordial spirit as well.
2123
2124He cast the spell carefully and saw the brain tissues on the back of Di Yiyue's brain gradually growing back. The missing portion was slowly growing back to fill up the bloody hole.
2125
2126Every action from Qin Mu was extremely careful. Layers of formations appeared in his pupils, and he stared at the bloody hole in Di Yiyue's forehead. He examined the growth of the brain tissues in detail.
2127
2128He controlled his magic power and transformed the runes to be even more detailed. When the brain tissue was completely grown out, he then carefully changed the runes to grow the bone where her wound was.
2129
2130When the bone grew out, Qin Mu changed the runes again, and that time, it was to fix the skin on her forehead.
2131
2132"Mu'er, us apothecaries are going to be out of a job," Apothecary's voice rang out.
2133
2134Qin Mu's last rune flickered, and the rune finally dispersed. Di Yiyue touched her forehead and was truly astonished. She said with a smile, "Great Wizard is truly doing the work of gods with your art of creation!"
2135
2136Qin Mu said with a smile, "Big sister turn over; there's still a hole behind your head that isn't fixed yet... Slowly, be careful of your brains spilling out. Grandpa Apothecary, the art of creation can't replace the art of healing, and it also can't replace the apothecaries."
2137
2138After treating the back of Di Yiyue's head, he said, "The art of creation is something that's hard to be skilled in. It isn't impossible to cultivate to my level. With aptitude as outstanding as mine, one just needs to spend tens of thousands of years of cultivating diligently, and they might be able to do the same."
2139
2140Even though others didn't know the difficulty of the art of creation, he knew it very well. His attainments in the art of creation were mainly from Crimson Emperor's consciousness. If he hadn't received Crimson Emperor's consciousness, it was unknown how long he would need to comprehend to reach his current standard.
2141
2142"Furthermore, the human body is a big system, and the corporeal body of gods is a small world. Art of creation can repair the body but to maintain the balance of the human body system and the corporeal body world of gods, that would have to rely on the apothecaries."
2143
2144Qin Mu dispersed his runes and took out a small mirror to pass to Di Yiyue. "Big sister, take a look, is it the same as it was in the past?"
