Chapter 59: The Third Awakening
Translator: NinetalesEditor: Fish Creek
At the entrance of the village, Village Chief, Old Ma, Deaf, Blind and the rest looked at the ceremony next door in a daze with emotions surging forth in their hearts. Who would have thought the biggest cult of the devil path, the Heavenly Devil Cult with an impressive reputation, would welcome their future cult master in such a desolated place? A young cult master who was not even twelve years old?
Witnessing this kept making them felt like they were watching the story of a legend, even the beautiful sunshine was shining in many colors.
Granny Si suddenly teared up and choked, ”He is going to leave us…”
”This is a good thing, granny.”
Apothecary smiled warmly, ”The fletching will always grow up one day. They will have to fly outside to the see the vast world and go against the wind and waves, to leave their homes to see the dangers of the outside world. We can never make him remain by the side of us disabled elderly for the rest of our lives.”
Blind had a serene expression as he said calmly, ”Legend begins from the first step he takes out from the village.”
With a smile on his face, Mute made a few hand signs and Deaf laughed, ”You're right, Mu'er's future will definitely be more interesting than ours.”
The riverbank of Surging River.
Several magnificent and luxurious ships sailed in and stopped at the riverbank. The villagers of the Heavenly Devil Village started to leave one after another. Some traveled away through the sky while others took the ship and left. Some even transformed into strange beasts and entered the forest while some transformed into flames and water to leave.
They all had their own unique abilities and Qin Mu was dazzled. He may have defeated them in Spirit Embryo Realm but he himself did not have all these weird and rare abilities.
”Goodbye, Young Cult Master!” A woman waved to him before falling backward into the river and turned into a puddle.
Qin Mu waved back. He didn't know whether they were good guys or bad guys. He only knew he had become their young cult master just like that. Will he still meet them when he leaves the Great Ruins?
”Our sacred cult had entered the Great Ruins forty years ago to search for Cult Mistress and now our virtuous achievements have come to their successful conclusion. Brother, Cult Mistress, you should know our sacred cult had not made a move for the past forty years and had no cult master to control the situation. Without our backbone, our sacred cult today is already in imminent danger.”
The young patriarch also stood up to leave and say his goodbyes to the Village Chief and Granny Si, ”Now that the young cult master is chosen, it can only pacify the will of people temporarily but not for long. Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor had his eyes on our sacred cult and wanted to subdue us to work for him. With me still being alive, I can delay this from happening for a few year. Therefore, when young cult master grows up, he must leave Great Ruins and become the cult master of our sacred cult officially.”
Village Chief looked at Granny Si. She nodded her head and replied, ”Don't worry, Patriarch. Since I've killed a cult master, I'll return one to you. He will go to the sacred cult when he grows up and takes over the reigns as you wish!”
Young Patriarch called the Elder of Discipline over and gave everyone a bow before turning around. Walking towards the Surging River, the young and old man wearing cloth tunics and straw shoes stepped onto the river, traveling away.
Blind held onto his bamboo cane with both of his hands as he sang loudly, reverberating between the two banks of the Surging River.
”One coat, one hat, one small boat, one long thread and one-inch hook; one happy song with one wine jar, one man fishes on one spring stream! Devil Cult Patriarch, you and I are already old and I don't know if we'll have the chance to meet again, farewell!”
In the river, the young patriarch stopped in his footsteps and turned around to wave, ”Goodbye everyone! Haha!”
He also started to sing loudly, ”Eight hundred old men idle at home, filled with ambitions that never cease; rising to the heaven after death, clouds still float and water still flows!”
Blind praised, ”As expected of the Devil Cult Patriarch, to be indifferent to life and death. Thinking that his life has been completed and smilingly look down on the changes in the human world from the heaven after his death!”
Village leisurely said, ”This is a grandmaster. You aren't far from attaining this frame of mind, Blind.”
”He's still frivolous.”
Deaf laughed, ”Blind only knows how to blindly read out verses but actually knows nothing of them. The verses don't match the situation or scenery at all. On the other hand, Devil Cult Patriarch's poem matches both the situation and the scenery without losing any heroism.”
Blind stuttered, ”Y-you don't know poems and you only criticize!”
Everyone laughed loudly.
Qin Mu also had a smile on his face as he looked at all these optimistic people. They may all be disabled in some ways but their spirits were extremely strong and sound.
”My kins…”
Suddenly, he felt a surging force flowing out from the heart of his brows. Qin Mu's heart jolted and he immediately looked into his Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure and was stunned for a slight second, ”My spirit embryo has awakened again!”
This was the third time his spirit embryo had awakened. The first was when his consciousness had fused with it. The second time was when he was observing fire and water in the smithy where the spirit embryo had a second awakening after falling silent.
This time, it was after his experience with all three hundred and sixty rooms where the spirit embryo had absorbed all the golden light in the divine treasure and fell into slumber again.
However, its slumber was slightly longer this time and had only awakened now!
What change would this awakening bring him?
”Awakened again?”
Everyone had a weird expression when Qin Mu told them about the third awakening of his spirit embryo. Village Chief, Apothecary, Old Ma's expression turned even stranger. The spirit embryo of other people only needs to awaken once so why did Qin Mu's spirit embryo keep awakening on and off?
