542 Conforming to Heavenly Law (2/2)
Saint Woodcutter was like a mortal, ascending step by step instead of using any divine art. ”I'm a teacher of Founding Emperor and have the reputation of Heavenly Teacher, in terms of battle power, I wasn't the strongest at the time. On the contrary, my battle power could only be considered mid-level standard. If I teach you, you won't surpass that deserter. On top of that”—he smiled—”haven't I already taught you?”
Qin Mu was stunned. What he meant were the teachings on the rock, so logically, Saint Woodcutter had already taught him. However, Qin Mu was indignant about receiving this kind of teaching.
Saint Woodcutter clearly had an even more powerful divine art. In the battlefield, Qin Mu had met Fu Yuxiao and was almost killed by him. It would have certainly happened if not for Saint Woodcutter who had executed a move for Qin Mu to learn and escape from harm.
Since he had even powerful divine arts, why wasn't he willing to teach?
Qin Mu wanted to learn the techniques and divine arts that could allow him to become a young true god. He wanted to unify his corporeal body and surpass First Ancestor Human Emperor on the same realm, to press him down in the mud, break his bones and make him puke blood. He wanted to beat him until he knelt on the floor and begged for forgiveness, until he kowtowed and apologized to the past human emperors!
”If I teach you my divine art, you won't rack your brains to comprehend Calamity Sword. Opening Calamity Sword was a wonderful thing, but I can't teach you that.”
Saint Woodcutter ascended the city tower and sat down. He patted the step beside him and signaled for Qin Mu to sit down as well.
Qin Mu sat down on the icy cold surface.
He turned back and saw that the black tiger god was standing below the tower. He didn't come up.
”The divine arts I know are all hidden in the scriptures. You just need to use your heart to comprehend and you will be able to learn them. Those scriptures were taught to me by Founding Emperor.
”The things I've learned are too numerous and variegated, so even if I received Founding Emperor's supreme arts, I still couldn't take a step forward. I can only be considered mid-level among the gods and devils,” Saint Woodcutter explained. 'In time, I realized that learning too many things might not be a good thing. Come, let's watch the sunrise.”
”Sunrise?”
The corners of Qin Mu's eyes twitched when he looked at the sky. A broken sun was gradually giving off a red glow. Its distorted form was stinging his eyes.
His face instantly became black, and he hurriedly looked away. He then suppressed the urge in his heart. Beside him, Saint Woodcutter's face also gradually turned black and he lowered his head.
The sunrise of Supreme Emperor Heaven had made both of them feel like they were sitting on pins and needles. They were both restless.
Qin Mu was the Heavenly Devil Cult Master and skilled in algebra. He learned carpentry from Old Ma and sought perfection in all crafts. Even the furniture that Granny Si had personally made was all amended by Qin Mu, so how could such a horrible-looking sun in the sky be left alone?
Heavenly Devil Cult also had Craftsman Hall and Heavenly Works Hall that had strict requirements for their crafts. The two were from Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures and were halls that had branched out from the techniques of calculation and craftsmanship in the scriptures. Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures were imparted by Saint Woodcutter, so one didn't need to think a lot to know that he had astonishing attainments in algebra.
The divine arts practitioners of Supreme Emperor Heaven were very proud that the suns in the sky were forged by their gods, but to the two of them, the suns were an eyesore.
In the sky, another sun gradually became brighter too, and the two suns hung motionlessly.
The corners of Saint Woodcutter's eyes twitched, and he tried his best to not raise his head. ”The fellows of Supreme Emperor Heaven have already forgotten all about craftsmanship!”
”The god that forged the sun seems to be called Sun Forger,” Qin Mu said with his head lowered.
”Bah! What Sun Forger? I know that fellow! He was merely a chef in the celestial heavens!”
Qin Mu was stunned.
Saint Woodcutter got up and said, ”You have to comprehend the method to become a young true god by yourself; it's better than me teaching you. What I teach is mine after all and what you comprehend are the things that suit you the most. I will bring you to the door, but you will have to walk the rest of the journey by yourself.”
He raised his head to look into the distance. The south, west, and north of Li City still had devil qi surging around like huge pot lids covering the heaven and earth. ”I've come to Supreme Emperor Heaven this time only to stop the devils from sacrificing Supreme Emperor Heaven. Fu Riluo is a wise commander and withdrew because he didn't have enough power to deal with my abrupt arrival. The next time he comes, he will bring forth a world-shattering blow!”
Qin Mu's heart jumped in shock and he hurriedly asked, ”Can Supreme Emperor Heaven block it?”
Boom!
The ground trembled and Qin Mu hurriedly looked toward the source of the sound. In a battlefield far away, numerous divine arts practitioners of Supreme Emperor Heaven piled up the corpses of the devils and humans that had died in battle, turning them into corpse mountains.
Suddenly, the ground split apart and huge sacrificial altars gradually rose from the ground. The glow of blood sacrifice flashed, and a beam of red light rushed into the sky. Within it, tall stone statues appeared.
Boom, boom. Violent tremors reached them as the battlefield shook non-stop. More and more sacrificial altars appeared.
On them, beams of red light that were like tall towers rushed into the sky, and stone statues formed on the altars!
Agitation filled Qin Mu, and he looked at Saint Woodcutter, anticipating his reply.
”We can't” Saint Woodcutter poured cold water all over him. ”We can only delay them for a period of time.”
